More Power Plants Going Out of Service Due to New Regulations Set by EPA
New EPA pollution control regulations were set as part of an updated order to protect people from harmul pollutants caused by coal-fired power plants. Aging coal power plants are the largest remaining source of several toxic air pollutants, including mercury, arsenic, cyanide, and a range of other dangerous pollutants.
While there may be opposition to the new regulations, the closing of these plants is an opportunity for cities to broaden their scope of renewable energy and alternative revenue sources. More

Warren Buffet Buys $2 Billion Renewable Energy Project
Warren Buffett's MidAmerican Energy, one of the largest wind power producers in the United States, is investing in solar energy. Last December, MidAmerican purchased one of the biggest planned solar facilities in the world, the Topaz Solar power development in San Luis Obispo County, California
And solar is still considerably less commercially viable than wind is...If the U.S. is going to remain globally competitive, it is promising to see someone as high-profile as Warren Buffett continuing to invest in renewable energy. More

23 Governors, 369 Orgs Throw Support Behind Four-year PTC Extension Bill
Most recently, a broad, nonpartison coalition of 369 members, including manufacturing, farm and business interests, issued a letter endorsing a four-year extension to the Production Tax Credit (PTC), wind energy's key federal tax incentive.
"Farmers and business people know a good deal when they see one, and that is exactly what clean, affordable, homegrown wind energy provides for the American people," said AWEA CEO Denise Bode. "With the support of a key federal tax incentive, wind energy is powering one of America's fastest-growing manufacturing sectors." More

California Implements Its Landmark Climate Change Bill: AB32 includes U.S.'s first comprehensive cap-and-trade program
The period of public comment, environmental litigation, political lobbying, and oil industry-sponsored ballot initiatives is over. California is ready to implement the California Air Resources Board's Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006 (AB32 for short), effective January 1, 2012. The Act's landmark cap-and-trade program is the first in the nation, and is expected to be a good test of whether programs like it can reduce pollution by putting a price on heat-trapping gases without putting polluters out of business.

CEC report says wind is the lowest cost way to generate electricity
A California Energy Commission (CEC) report titled "Comparative Costs of California Central Station Electricity Generation Technologies" finds that wind is the cheapest way to generate electricity, when costs are levelized.
The report updates the levelized cost of generation estimates originally prepared for California's Integrated Energy Policy Report. The electricity-generating technologies studied include simple- and combined-cycle gas-fired, coal-integrated gasification combined cycle, wind, solar PV, solar thermal, biofuel, geothermal, hydro and nuclear. The only cheaper-than-wind method of generating electricity would be to upgrade existing hydro facilities. More

Comparison of midsize wind turbines to multi-megawatt turbines: Bigger is not better for distributed wind applications
Market penetration for the midsize turbine will be broad. The Revolution 360TM Wind Turbine is expected to fill a need not met by the very large turbines being manufactured today.
Adoption of sustainable wind energy from medium-size turbines is predicted to be in the 1MW-10MW range for large power users such as military bases, industrial facilities, wastewater treatment plants, universities, and large agricultural operations. For these specific types of application, the penetration of large multi-megawatt turbines will be limited due to the difficulties of micro-siting larger turbines. Other issues include their ineligibility for installation in locations close to businesses or residential areas, permitting problems, or the lack of long distance transmission lines. More

An Analysis of the Technical and Economic Potential for Mid-Scale Distributed Wind
Large, multi-megawatt, utility-scale wind turbines are becoming increasingly gigantic and expensive to manufacture, transport, and install. This NREL report analyzes the market potential for mid-size wind turbines. The report validates Continental Wind Power's business model of supplying the distributed generation market (self-generation of electricity "behind" the meter for large agricultural operations, university campuses, industrial facilities, and other commercial operations with high electricity demand).
Please note the following about the report's conclusions:
- Continental Wind Power turbines are designed to use today's highly efficient wind turbine technology (the mid-size turbines analyzed in the report were of older technology);
- Capital cost drops significantly with careful sourcing and lean manufacturing;
- The NREL report was published before the change in administration, which has since increased public policy support for renewable energy at the federal level as well as with financial and tax incentives. More

Included in the retail package is the Pure-Fi Dream system, user guide, quick start guide, 9V battery, two AAA batteries, 12 universal dock adapters, AC adapter and remote control.
As you can see, the dock looks very sleek and elegant. The front of the dock features large fabric-covered speakers on either side of the unit. The actual dock is centrally-located with shuffle and repeat buttons flanking either side of the connector. Below the dock connector is an LCD screen that is used to display various information such as time, song titles, etc. Directly to the left of the screen you can see the remote IR sensor. As one of my pet peeves, I couldn't help but notice the printed Logitech name and logo were slightly crooked.
Around back we find a relatively simple design. There is an auxiliary input jack as well as a fixed power cable that doubles as the AM/FM antenna which Logitech suggests you extend as much as possible for best reception. The bottom of the dock has four large non-slip feet as well as a battery compartment for the 9V battery. This battery serves as a backup in the event your power goes out overnight, thus ensuring your alarm will still function.
Move ahead as we continue our tour of the Pure-Fi Dream...

Rosell: Messi has Barca's backing
Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has told Lionel Messi he has the club's full backing after claims that he and his father defrauded the Spanish state of over €4 million in taxes.
• Tomas: Surprise, surprise: Messi's taxes and Fernando Torres
• Barcelona join Lewandowski race
On Wednesday, the Catalan media reported that tax authorities in Barcelona were to bring a case against Messi and his father over unpaid taxes in 2007, 2008 and 2009.
But Messi, 25, released a statement on his official Facebook page denying any wrongdoing, while Jorge Messi, the player's father told AS: "This is all a mistake," he said. "It should have been spoken about with the accountants and legal people, who will clear it up."
Rosell told a press conference on Thursday afternoon that he is also in no doubt about Messi's innocence.
He said: "Messi's family is calm. They have all of our support. I do not doubt their innocence."
Rosell also defended Barca's conduct towards defender Eric Abidal who has left the club this summer after six seasons at the Nou Camp.
Abidal returned to the team in April after recovering from a liver transplant and was keen to continue his career with the Spanish champions. However,upon the expiry of his contract he was not offered an extension.
"We have treated him like a footballer, not someone who is ill, because that's what he asked of us," Rosell said.
"I think the club have treated him in an excellent manner and been honest with him, when he was a footballer and when he was ill."
One defender Barca have been linked with is Paris Saint-Germain's Thiago Silva, but Rosell expressed doubts about the validity of those links because of the player's high salary.
"He is a very difficult player to sign, he earns a lot of money and we need to be careful with our wage structure," Rosell said.
Meanwhile, Thiago Alcantara has been linked with a move away from the club due to speculation about a buy-out clause in his contract falling from €90 million to €18 million because he failed to complete 60% of the club's games. However, Rosell dismissed this idea, saying: "It's the other way round, if he had played the necessary number of games, the clause would have risen from €18 million to €90 million.
"I understand that he wants to play more games, but I'd like him to stay on at the club and become as important as Xavi, [Andres] Iniesta and Sergio Busquets."
David Villa is another player whose future is in doubt, with Tottenham reportedly keen. Rosell, though, played down reports but didn't rule out a departure.
He said: "Until anything otherwise is said, he is still a Barcelona player."

Today in media history: Newspaper front pages remember Edward Kennedy
August 26, 2009
On this date in 2009, newspaper front pages reported on the death of Massachusetts senator Edward Kennedy, who had passed away the day before. Here is a collection of pages from that week.
Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who carried aloft the torch of a Massachusetts dynasty and a liberal ideology to the citadel of Senate power, but whose personal and political failings may have prevented him from realizing the ultimate prize of the presidency, died at his home in Hyannis Port last night after a battle with brain cancer. He was 77.
"We've lost the irreplaceable center of our family and joyous light in our lives, but the inspiration of his faith, optimism, and perseverance will live on in our hearts forever," his family said in a statement. "We thank everyone who gave him care and support over this last year, and everyone who stood with him for so many years in his tireless march for progress toward justice, fairness, and opportunity for all. He loved this country and devoted his life to serving it. He always believed that our best days were still ahead, but it's hard to imagine any of them without him."

"Kennedy dead at 77. Liberal lion of the Senate, symbol of family dynasty succumbs to brain cancer"

Left to right: Calloway, Stack, Caruso and Grunder.
About 150 landscapers came to frigid Dayton, Ohio (those from Florida felt a temperature drop of 70 degrees) for Marty Grunder's GROW 2011. The three-day seminar featured presentations from: Grunder; Joe Calloway, consultant; Gene Marks, The Marks Group P.C.; Matt Caruso, Decra-Scape and Laura Stack, The Productivity Pro.
The speakers gave industry specific lessons along with general business advice to those in attendance.
Here are some highlights:
• Grunder said you should never tell someone you aren't hiring. You have to always be looking to upgrade talent, so always have someone fill out an application and tell them you'll put it on file because you are always looking for good workers. One thing to look for is how much they lead volunteer groups. Anyone who is willing to organize a group or fundraiser for free has the makings of a great leader. While upgrading talent, you should be evaluating what you have. Go through your org chart and ask yourself if you would hire that employee again. For the ones that you definitely would hire, highlight them in green and look for opportunities where they can grow in your company. For the ones you might hire again, color them yellow and develop a plan that will help them improve. The ones that you wouldn't hire again color in red and fire them immediately.
"They'll hold your company back forever," Grunder said. Grunder also said meeting with your clients, especially when work slows down, is important for an owner to continue to build business. Asking clients what you are good and bad at can help accentuate your positives while improving areas where you are weak. In addition to meeting with clients, you also have to communicate with your employees. Get some employees together for lunch and ask them to bring three ideas. Grunder said he takes it one step further and tells them if they don't bring three ideas, you have to pay for your own lunch. You will find ways to be lean if you just ask questions.
• Calloway reminded contractors that they should always have their antenna up for ways to improve their company and "be looking for good ideas everywhere you go." When you experience good or bad customer service, you should ask yourself if you are doing that same thing at your company, he said. "Innovation doesn't happen on retreats," said Calloway, adding that the best ideas are normally thought of when doing something mundane. He also told attendees to not get to outside the box with ideas because when you win inside the box, you win in general.
• Ever have an employee who has been with your company for so many years you can't even think about letting them go? You know the employee's family, and they've been to your home, but they've becoming complacent and haven't been performing at a high level anymore. Caruso said he had the same experience with an employee who mentally checked out and he was slow to fire the employee, but eventually had to do it. "It's sabotaging your business and stopping you from becoming the leader you know you can become," he said. Caruso also spoke about his experience hiring a board of directors, warning attendees not to ask friends, accountants or people who serve on boards solely for money. "You don't want someone who makes a living out of being on the board," he said.
• Using technology for marketing purposes can help a company increase its awareness in a community and can especially keep customer's updated. Marks said companies should be sending out newsletters to clients, but make the subject eye-catching. Don't just send out a newsletter with a subject like "Here's our monthly newsletter." Instead, say something like "Five signs your gutters are about to fall down." Marks said a business owner should also have a customer relationship management system that keeps track of interactions you've had with customers. If a customer tells you they'd be interested in having a service done in a few months, make a note of that in the system so the customer doesn't have to chase you down. "You don't have to change the world," he said. "You just need one place where you have a list of everyone you do business with," so nothing falls through the cracks, he said.
• Stack gave some insight on how to be more productive in your company by not wasting time on administrative tasks. Whether it is salespeople, account managers or the business owner, tasks such as sending e-mails to clients or prospective clients can get pushed to the side. Stack said something as simple as entering an e-mail address in your customer relationship management system from a business card you received can save time. Once you enter an address in your system, you should never need to type that address again since it should be filed in your system. Stack also said there is software available that saves all your passwords so you won't have to go searching for log-in information and your password for websites you use.

I saw this yesterday and just had to download it and so far I actually really like it. This is a live wallpaper called Pixel Rain and it is full of options and features yet its completely free in the Android Market. I know everything is HD these days and all the apps keep getting updated to work with higher resolution screens and all that jazz, but this retro looking wallpaper just rocks.
From reading reviews everyone seems to enjoy it just as I am. With as many options as the developer provides all free of charge it's worth a look that is for sure. You can change the amount of rain drops, make them multi-colored, change the size and speed of the falling pixel rain drops and more. I like that you can make the rain drops splash or "shatter" on impact but it was a little distracting.
Make sure you check this out and don't forget to thank the developer Shawn Gilleland in the reviews if you like his one and only (and well done) application. For those that love LPW (Live Wallpapers) we also have the secret Galaxy S II LWP you can download here. Or we also covered the TrueBlood Wallpaper a while back. So go ahead and give Pixel Rain a try and let us know what you think.

NBA News: Jameer Nelson is Close to Signing
For the past decade Jameer Nelson has called the Orlando Magic home. But now it appears that the point guard is headed to the Lone Star State, to play for the Dallas Mavericks. ESPN's Marc Stein is reporting that Nelson and the Mavs are closing in on a deal for $2.7 million.
Barring an unforseen snag, Mavs on course to land Jameer Nelson to fortify their backcourt on a deal via Dallas' $2.7 million room exception
— Marc Stein (@ESPNSteinLine) July 23, 2014
For the Magic last season Nelson was a rather serviceable veteran who averaged over 12 points and 7 assists per game. He also shot 34% from beyond the arc. With The Mavs, Nelson could certainly provide some quality minutes off the bench, or he could serve as a capable spot starter at point guard.
With such a low price tag, this would be quite the value signing for the Mavericks.

Hi all.
Is it an okay practice to use c libary functions in C++
or are there equivalent libaries in C++ .
is the above poor c++ programing ?
or could it cause problems ?
The standard C library is included in the standard C++ library. Under the old standard, a C program would, for the most part, compile fine as a C++ program with no change necessary. With the new standard, they changed the method of including C libraries.
I hope that's understandable. Notice that not only were the .h extensions dropped for standard header files, but C libraries were preceded with 'c's.Code:
#include <stdlib.h> /* C, Old C++ */
#include <cstdlib> /* New C++ */
#include <iostream.h> /* Old C++ */
#include <iostream> /* New C++ */
using namespace std; /* required in new C++ */
As for the issue of whether or not it is bad practice, I'm going to give you an answer you don't want to hear. "It depends". Some functions have been replaced with version that are arguable better. For example, getting user input has been upgraded substantially to an Object-Oriented version. In most cases, better to use this. The same goes for string processing. But things like the time functions - are for the most part left as they were in C. And don't forget to include OS APIs and others in what may be a better function than the original C libraries.
not heard or read about cstdlib.
but just starting C++.
The C library is a lot better for memory management than the C++ library. I typically use the C library to do memory comparisons. I also use it for random numbers and for formatted output to strings. Why? We'll because doing a sprintf() is a lot easier than using the string object and converting numbers to strings yourself. I take the easy route.

Ive never seen anything like this. My best guess is that it is a cigar cutter. The Piece that you see coming out the side slides in and out with a sharp edge. If anyone has any ideas on what it could be or who may have made it i would love to hear from you. It has already been a cool converstation piece in the 8 hours I've owned it =)
The estate sale i got this from had some other smoking antiques so thats what lead me to my cigar cutter hypothesis. It has no markings or identifying stamps. Any info at all would be great. Thanks!

Following releases for Soul Jazz and Greenmoney, Kalbata moves over to Tru Thoughts for a digital single aimed directly at the dancefloor; "SUS feat. Clapper Priest" is backed with a remix from Rossi B & Luca (Planet Mu, Senseless Records) and drops on 16th December.
Built around a crisp, stripped-back garage beat, whirring melody and layered low end, "SUS" sees Kalbata on fine form, with Clapper Priest adding his inimitable dubwise vocal stamp into the mix. For their remix, Rossi B & Luca up the tempo, toughen the drums and add extra percussion and synth stabs resulting in a peak time club banger.
Kalbata, real name Ariel Tagar, is a bass music pioneer from Tel Aviv. Regardless of genre, his distinct musical approach comes through in everything he does – a deep affection for the lowest of frequencies and a collection of vintage effects and instruments which guarantee his razor sharp beats will always have a warm analogue feel, floating in a pool of endless ripples and echoes. The same qualities come forth in Kalbata's precise and intense DJ sets, which can cover anything from 2-step to techno and dub.

Prospects for Micro-finance
A team including some representatives of Women's World Banking (WWB) recently traveled to Afghanistan. Several women from the Afghan diaspora identified WWB as an organization that would be useful to assess the feasibility the establishment of a bank run by women and for women in Afghanistan. Although money was transferred during recent years quite successfully, lending did not occur except to those that were personally known. Those exchanges that do take place follow strict Islamic laws in an informal process. The banking system is in shambles; the new Central Bank governor had to start from scratch to deal with the massive undertaking of rebuilding a central bank. They had only twelve computers and had to deal with such difficulties as preventing currency from being printed illegally in Russia. Regulations from the 1974 constitution will be followed, while work on draft regulations continues.
While the World Bank recently reported that there were twenty micro-finance projects functioning in Afghanistan, there are really only two true micro-finance projects. One run by Save the Children in the north and another run by AREA staffed with Afghans in Kabul. Micro-finance means giving loans and charging fees and attempting to be make the program economically self-sufficient. Fees are charged in Islamic countries in lieu of interest-which is unacceptable according to the laws of the Shari'a. The other programs were income-generation projects through which cows and other animals or goods were given in kind. The fact that those running these other programs were not committed to being reimbursed makes these projects less sustainable, and not classifiable as micro-finance projects.
A feeling of safety may be felt in Kabul, thanks to the presence of the International Security Assistance Forces (ISAF) troops, however their mandate does not extend to other parts of the country. In Kabul, perhaps due partly to this feeling of safety, there has been continued commerce that had continued under the Taliban era. The markets had export-quality leather goods, embroidered clothing, food and other items. Bookstores were selling books that were being re-published in Kabul, some that had originally been published in 1970s or earlier and had been banned in recent years. Most people selling items in shops and on the streets are men and most of the customers are women, more and more of whom appear without burkhas every day. While the political situation needs to be more stable, banks in Pakistan were all vying to be the first back in. Afghans in Pakistan were all certain that they could find work if they could get back. The loya jirga, due to be convened in June 2002, will establish another interim government that will be two years instead of the present six-month government; this will be at least one step forward in the establishment of a sound and secure system.

New legislation for ACT Industrial Court
The ACT Attorney-General has made changes to the legislation for the Territory's first Industrial Court after hearing feedback from the legal community.
Simon Corbell introduced laws into the ACT Legislative Assembly on Thursday, to establish the court which will have a specific focus on workplace safety.
"The Industrial Court will be able to hear and decide work safety matters and workers' compensation claims up to $250,000, which is the current jurisdiction of the Magistrates Court," he said.
"The establishment of the Industrial Court will give a dedicated focus to these matters and allow the magistrate to develop particular expertise in the handling of what are often complex work safety matters or workers' compensation matters."
He says there is a provision in the bill to deal with potential conflicts of interest.
"Between the Magistrate hearing the matter in the Industrial Court and potentially also being a Coroner inquiring into a death, in those circumstances the Chief Magistrate has the capacity to reallocate duties of the Industrial Magistrate," Mr Corbell said.
The ACT Law Society has raised concerns about the way the proposed new court will operate.
ACT Law Society president Noor Blumer says the expertise is good, but the extent of court's jurisdiction is not clear.
"What hasn't been addressed is the fact that this Industrial Magistrate, or Industrial Court has all sorts of jurisdictions that is unprecedented in any other industrial court in any other court and territory," she said.
"Industrial courts deal with industrial safety, so breaches of work safety acts, that's what they do.
"Now they are criminal or quasi-criminal type offences and they are dealt with, with a certain burden of proof in a certain way.
"For a person then to hear a common law claim or indeed an arbitration in the same matter, it would be virtually impossible and would be legally improper."
'Court welcomed'
The union representing workers in the construction, forestry, mining and energy industries has welcomed the latest steps to establish an Industrial Court.
CFMEU ACT branch secretary Dean Hall says the court rulings will help boost safety on local work sites.
"What we need to do is get expertise in the area of workplace safety so we can send a message to the industries, in particular the building and construction industry," he said.
"It's time to invest in safety, it's time to put workers lives and their health first, and not profit.
"If we get some consistency and some measures around penalties that deter people and also encourage people to put preventative practices in place.
"Then I think in the end it will benefit the industry and more importantly our community, and individual workers at workplaces."
The new Industrial Court will be modelled on the ACT Children's Court and the Magistrate will be appointed for four years.

Nicole Scherzinger has revealed that she might not return to The X Factor.
The former Pussycat Doll, 34, who has two acts in the final, has given show bosses who are keen for the star to sign up for another year a headache by saying that she'd like to focus on her pop career.
She told The Sun: "I'm really glad I did the show. I don't know if I'll come back next year. End on a high, right?"
She added: "This year has changed my life. As an artist, it's put into perspective what I want, how to go about it."
But asked if she was holding out for a bumper pay rise, Nicole hinted to the newspaper that she could be open to persuasion.
"That's what I'm talking about!" she laughed.
Nicole's two acts - James Arthur and Jahmene Douglas - will battle against Christopher Maloney in this weekend's final, which will feature performances from Kylie Minogue, Rita Ora, Rihanna, One Direction and Emeli Sande.

Jerusalem (Dec. 6)
The ruling handed down by the District Commissioner on November 17th that 3,500 dunams of land in Haifa Bay owned by the Jewish National Fund and the Bayside Land Corporation, an American Jewish firm, must be returned to the Arabs, is not a final legal judgment but an administrative measure valid only until the court pronounces a final verdict, according to a statement issued today by the Jewish National Fund.
The disputed territory, says the Jewish National Fund, has not yet passed into the hands of the Arabs but remains the legal possession of the Jewish National Fund and the Bayside Land Corporation.
In previous disputes over Haifa Bay land the court has ruled in favor of the Jewish National Fund, rejecting the Arab claims.

This is the story of the journey of my life. Travel can be hard work. So much to see. So little time. So many missed connections. So much lost luggage. But every stop, every detour, every challenge along the way provides a lesson to be learned. Traveling mercies to us all.
Saturday, June 12, 2010
Back to my list-making...
Then Jena Strong did it.
Now it's my turn. But I'm adding a few categories of my own.
Things I'm learning:
* Italian
* patience
* forgiveness - both extending it and receiving it
* how to be married
* how to parent teenagers
* how to say "no more"
* how to say "bring it on"
* how to deal with bullies and bossiness
Things I want to unlearn:
* everything I know about medication and doctors' offices and emergency rooms
* most of what I know about church and its useless, meaningless, oppressive traditions
* how messed up the world and all of us, its inhabitants (including myself!), really are
* how to be a full-fledged adult - childhood was so much less stressful
* everything I know about pollution and chemicals and child abuse and modern slave labor and economic imbalance and animal cruelty
Things I'm wishing and praying for:
* peace everywhere: in every broken heart, in every unquiet mind, in every tormented soul, in every family, relationship, home - and beyond
* an end to that ridiculous oil spill
* an end to our deep dependence on that oil and all the things it is used to create
* a way of life that is based on contentment and gratitude, not greed and consumerism
* healing for people I love from cancer, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, glaucoma, depression, heart disease and fear
* for a healthy and energetic pregnancy for a dear friend in Spain
* good health, healthy food, and life-sustaining work for all who are in need
* an end to tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, drought, and war
* the return of passion, deep, pulse-quickening passion
Things that are making me happy:
* an excellent mug of morning coffee
* my bed
* the ceiling fan above my bed
* all the rain we've had lately
* great times with my husband and children
* having a buddy to go see Hindi movies with

* the many good books I'm reading at the moment, especially Dreaming in Hindi
* summer fruit and vegetables, fresh and tasty

but also after way too much time of being disconnected
Things that are getting on my nerves:
* politics and political shenanigans
* recurring nightmares, fears, and worries
* greed and injustice
* my own apathy and unwillingness to take risks
* people who are quick to criticize but incapable of taking criticism
* the escalating cost of living
Things that are soothing my nerves:
* solitude, solitude, solitude
* journaling, especially when I use big, fat Sharpies and Copic and Prismacolor markers on thick watercolor paper
* holding hands
* going to the gym and getting my sweat on
* going out for walks in the morning, alone
* friends who listen to my tales of woe and give me sound advise
* being myself, fully, truly, fearfully, fearlessly, unapologetically myself
* staying away from situations and people that get on my nerves
* dreaming in Spanish, Italian, and sometimes in Hindi too
Things I don't know yet (except, of course, when I do)
* how to let go of stuff (physical stuff, emotional stuff, relational stuff, religious stuff) that needs to go
* that it's time to stop complaining about everything I complain about and do something about it
* how and when to walk away, no regrets, no explanations, just walk away
* how excellent and right and satisfying it is to tell the truth, even when it hurts the person I must speak it to
* that most of the time the one person in my life who needs to hear the truth the most is the woman in the mirror
* the importance of not relying on anyone else to take care of me and meet my needs
* the best ways to take care of myself

* the freedom to set my own schedule
* having a few days alone right here at home
* a break from translating/interpreting
* glasses of cold sangria on hot summer nights
* teaching a class on solitude in the fall
* getting a new computer sometime soon (This one, God bless it, is nearly 7 years old. What is that in computer years? 150??? It has never had a debilitating virus, nor has it ever crashed, mind you, but tragedy cannot be far away --> of that, I am certain.)
* speaking to a group of South Carolina's finest social workers at the end of July - telling my family's story
* every good and perfect gift that is yet to come from the hand of The One who Loves me most
* life itself - and whatever will follow this life too

It's been a while since I visited your blog. I so wish you could be a part of my discussions with another woman here in San Antonio about religion. We question - ask the hard questions - we explore, we support, we read.
I also enjoy foreign films and have seen quite a few lately from Film Movement - most have been excellent.
Thanks for sharing!

I hope and look forward to sharing a hot night next summer jabbering with you about everything, or maybe just a few things, cold glass of Sangria in hand while we're on your porch.
Ti amo.

What a great list!!!
Well said :-)

SAN JOSE — Mayor Chuck Reed's office Wednesday announced that the City Council appointed Toni Taber as city clerk.
Taber had been serving as acting city clerk since Dennis Hawkins retired in December 2012 and took a job with the Santa Clara County Counsel's office. Her appointment came after a national search for his replacement.
"Toni has provided outstanding service in her tenure as acting city clerk, and we look forward to her continued dedication to San Jose," Reed said in a statement.
Before coming to San Jose, Taber served as clerk of the board at the San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District, the city clerk of Covina, and deputy city clerk in Corona. She is a certified municipal clerk, and earned a master's degree in English from California State University in Sacramento.
The mayor's office said the council approved Taber's appointment at Tuesday's closed session, but it was announced Wednesday following preparation of a recommended compensation package. Reed will recommend that she receive the same salary as Hawkins, $142,000 a year. The council will vote on her compensation package Oct. 22.

PLANS for a statutory code which would give new rights to landlords running tied pubs have been praised by Skipton MP Julian Smith.
As part of the system, landlords can now request a rent review from pub companies if it has been five years or more since the last one.
Mr Smith said: "I am delighted that action is being taken to support tied pubs, giving pub landlords peace of mind that they will be able to get a fair deal on their rent.
"Pubs are an important part of life in my constituency and I have been working hard to stand up for them, and the entire brewing industry. We must do all we can to ensure they remain at the heart of our communities and create jobs."
An independent adjudicator would have powers to punish pub companies flouting the regulations.

Berkley Gulp! Corn
- This item can only be shipped to U.S. addresses.
Durable, buoyant nuggets stay in the strike zone
Works best with a light egg hook
Comes in a re-sealable container for safe storage
Designed for targeting trout and panfish, Gulp! yellow corn bait has the look and feel of natural bait. These 1/4" nuggets are durable and long-lasting, staying on the hook longer to outperform real corn. Flavor-packed Gulp! corn disperses a powerful attractant to bring fish in from far and wide. Rig a single piece on a light egg hook for an effective day out on the water. Comes in a resealable jar for safe, convenient storage. 1.5-oz. jar.
Designed to look alive, feel alive, and taste alive, Gulp! lures have been proven to catch significantly more fish than plastics and live bait. Gulp! lures release over 400 times more scent than other plastic baits, leaving an intense scent trail that fish can sense from much farther away. This perfect combination of shape, color, scent, and size emulates natural forage critters to trigger more strikes than any other bait on the market. Gulp! is 100% natural and biodegradable.

It's not for the faint of heart. To come up with this year's list of Canada's Top 100 Employers, now in its 11th year, the editors of Mediacorp Canada Inc., a specialty publisher, sift through a daunting amount of information to analyze each applicant's operations and HR practices. After an extensive review of the more than 2,750 employers that started this year's application process, the winners emerge.
The criteria for judging the nation's dream workplaces have stayed the same since the project began in 1999. Competition focuses on eight key areas: physical workplace; work atmosphere and social events; health, financial and family benefits; vacation and time off; employee communications focused on how employers capture feedback from their employees; performance management; training and skills development; community involvement.
Employers are compared to other organizations in their field to determine which has the most forward-thinking programs.
Richard Yerema, managing editor of the Canada's Top 100 Employers project, observes that despite challenging times, the best employers continue to maintain and improve working conditions for employees. "Many of this year's winners have learned from past economic slowdowns that you can do lasting damage to an organization by scaling back on benefits that are important to employees," Mr. Yerema says.

ST. PAUL, MN (AP) - A fisherman faces thousands of dollars in penalties and the confiscation of his boat and other gear for allegedly taking hundreds of panfish over the legal limit.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says a conservation officer confronted 39-year-old Chien Van Tran of Otsego on Pelican Lake in Wright County April 4. The officer found 134 sunfish and 19 crappies on his boat, and more in a freezer in his home, for a total of 413 sunfish and 30 crappies over the legal limit. Minnesota's daily and possession limits are 20 sunfish and 10 crappies.
The DNR says Tran faces up to a $3,000 fine, a year in jail, $2,015 in restitution, plus the loss of his fishing privileges for three years.

Ok, it's no secret that the tools in SQL Server 2005 have a few gaps. For example, if you're used to the utility Read80Trace.exe in SQL Server 2000, you don't have a correlating utility to rely on in SQL Server 2005. So what's a body to do?
As MVP Martin Bell pointed out, you could work harder (a LOT harder) by importing the SQL2K5 trace data into a table, exporting the table to SQL2K, saving the trace in SQL Profiler and then using Read80Trace to read the file. Martin gets points in my book, because my pea brain couldn't even envision that solution.
On the other hand, you could spend a little time getting to know the new utility written by Bill Graziano and posted at http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/billg/archive/2006/03/05/9181.aspx. His utility writes out an XML file that Read80Trace HTML files can use. Basically, it replaces analysis.xml in the output directory. You might want to dig around on his website (http://www.sqlteam.com) because Bill mentioned to me that he was going to post a new version soon.
Another alternative comes to us from Australian MVP Greg Linwood and is available at http://www.gajsoftware.com. Greg's utility has a nice, slick UI as well, btw, and so can enable you to get more down. However, it's is also a for-fee product whereas Bill's utility is free.
So let me know how you handle your trace reading task. What's making you more productive?
Best regards,

text: Earlier today I downloaded the OTA update for my Sprint S4. This killed my wifi. I then used Odin to load NAE and this fixed my wifi issues but of course I was no longer rooter. I then loaded Odin back up and loaded CF-Auto-Root-jfltespr-jfltespr-sphl720.tar.md5 and automatically rebooted. Immediately upon rebooting, I was taken to the red-android load screen that shows the root exploit being loaded with no issues. Afterwards, the phone reboots but there is no SuperSU binary installed. I then go to the Play Store and manually download it but when opening it, the application informs me that it can't find the SU binary on the phone. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I've tried this multiple times as well as trying to have Odin not reboot the phone and instead doing it manually but still no dice.

Despite the controversy circling around her Newsweek cover, Michele Bachmann was all business yesterday. Instead of addressing the photo that no one can stop talking about, her campaign steered away from questions regarding it and focused on her campaign.
Said her spokeswoman Alice Stewart, "We're just not going to address that. We're focused on what's important, which is meeting with the people of Iowa in advance of the straw poll."
While conservative websites can't stop blaming liberals and the mainstream media for purposely making Bachmann look, well, psychotic, her voters are also feeling the same way. Said one resident of Spirit Lake, Iowa:
"As far as her eyes go, I don't know if it's her natural eyes or what it is but it wouldn't surprise me if they didn't try to Photoshop something and make it look like crazy or something because that's what, you know, a lot of the media does when it comes to conservative women."
But can you really Photoshop crazy eyes? Based on the results of fashion magazines I'm sure anything is possible, but to suggest that Photoshopping is behind this look of madness might be pushing it.
Newsweek released the other photos of Bachmann from which they chose the now-infamous cover, and, to be honest, none of them are exactly flattering.
What do you think?
Sorry! This poll is now closed.

Stem Cell Banking: Make Your Baby Healthy For A Lifetime
- Some decisions can last a lifetime…. Preserve your baby's stem cells!
Becoming a parent is a lifetime responsibility…
Having a baby is one of the most emotional and fascinating moments in life. Parents do so much to prepare for their child's birth and ensure their child's life will be a healthy, happy one. Some recent medical innovations offer new possibilities to address previously unmet medical needs. Cord blood banking is one of the things they need to consider.
Cord blood banking to preserve your baby's stem cells:
Cord blood banking involves collecting blood left in your newborn's umbilical cord and storing it for future medical use. Cord blood contains powerful lifesaving cells called stem cells. Cord blood is also used by Doctors to save lives today. Cord blood stem cell transplants have already changed—and saved—thousands of lives around the world. They have already been used to treat more than 75 diseases, including numerous types of malignancies, anaemia, inherited metabolic disorders and deficiencies of the immune system.
Stem cells are precious because they have the ability to develop into different kinds of cells within the human body. Stem cells are essentially the building blocks of the human body. Every stem cell has two main characteristics:
Cord blood stem cells are biologically younger and are more flexible compared to adult stem cells from other sources like bone marrow. They have:
- • Less risk of complications when used in transplants
- • Ability to use one's own stem cells for conditions that currently lack medical treatment options, also known as "AUTOLOGOUS TRANSPLANTATION"
- • Immediately available and can minimize disease progression in early treatment
Preserving them "STOPS THE CLOCK" and protects the cells from aging and being exposed to environmental factors and common viruses that can decrease their function.
Steps to store your Child's stem cells…
Steps in Cord Blood Banking
- At Cryoviva Biotech, we have the passion and knowledge to assist you by offering the possibility to store your baby's stem cells from umbilical cord tissue and cord blood. If you'd like further information, please contact us here. We look forward to hearing from you!

Kellogg chief calls for overhaul of federal food-safety system
- |
WASHINGTON - The top official at Kellogg, the giant food-maker that lost $70 million worth of peanut products in the recent salmonella outbreak, is urging lawmakers to overhaul the nation's food safety system.
Kellogg Co. chief executive David Mackay wants food safety placed under a new leader in the Health and Human Services department. He also called for new requirements that all food companies have written safety plans, annual federal inspections of facilities that make high-risk foods, and other reforms.
Mackay's strong endorsement of major changes could boost President Obama's efforts to overhaul the system. Last week, Obama launched a special review of food-safety programs, which are split among several departments and agencies and rely in some cases on decades-old laws. Critics say more funding is needed for inspections and basic research.
"The recent outbreak illustrated that the US food safety system must be strengthened," Mackay said in remarks prepared for a hearing today before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The salmonella outbreak has sickened at least 691 people and is being blamed for nine deaths. The source was a small Georgia peanut-processing plant, which allegedly shipped products managers knew were contaminated with salmonella.
More than 3,490 products have been recalled, including some Kellogg's Austin and Keebler peanut butter sandwich crackers. The Georgia plant has been shut down, and its owner, Peanut Corp. of America, is under criminal investigation by the Justice Department.
Mackay said Kellogg's had to recall more than 7 million cases of crackers and cookies, at a cost of $65 million to $70 million. Kellogg's began purchasing peanut paste from Peanut Corp. in July 2007, after the supplier passed quality checks and audits.
"Audit findings reported no concerns that the facility may have had any pathogen-related issues or any potential contamination," Mackay said in his statement. "None of the salmonella or hygiene issues that have been reported by regulators over the past several months were noted in any of the audit reports provided to Kellogg."
FDA inspectors swooped down on the Georgia plant in January and found multiple sanitary violations. The problems included moisture leaks, improper storage, and openings that could allow rodents into the facility. FDA tests found salmonella contamination within the plant. After invoking bioterrorism laws, the FDA obtained Peanut Corp. records that showed the company's own tests repeatedly found salmonella in finished products.
How persistent problems at the Georgia plant managed to escape the attention of state inspectors and independent auditors is one of the main unanswered questions in the investigation.
Mackay's call for a food safety "authority" within the HHS department appears similar to legislation from Representative Rosa DeLauro, a Connecticut Democrat. Her plan would take food safety away from FDA and give it to a new agency within the department. The FDA is responsible for most foods, while the Agriculture Department inspects meat and poultry. DeLauro's plan would not affect the USDA.

Business News of Friday, 18 January 2013
Source: B&FT
The First National Savings and Loans (FNSL) has signed a convertible US$2-million loan agreement with Netherland-based, Goodwell Micro Development Company.
The loan facility will allow FNSL to expand credit facilities and other forms of services which it offers to its customers and the unbanked in the country.
Speaking at the signing ceremony on Thursday in Accra, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of FNSL, Mr. Patrick Annumel, said the loan facility will help his company to attain its target of reaching out to over one million customers by 2014.
He went on to add that the facility will also strengthen the relationship and bring mutual benefits to FNSL and Goodwell Micro Development Company.
He seized the opportunity to thank the facilitators, JCS Investments Limited, for their role in facilitating the loan deal.
A partner at Goodwell, Els Boerhof explained that her company's willingness to partner FNSL stemmed from their shared vision to make banking available to the average man on the street.
Goodwell West Africa Microfinance Development Company (GWAMDC) is a specialised wholesale microfinance equity fund launched in 2009 to provide affordable financial services by investing in entrepreneurial microfinance institutions across Ghana and Nigera.
According to the company, the fund has a target capital of 40million Euros and presently has committed capital of 16.2 million Euros. The fund aims to maximuse value through superior risk-adjusted social and financial returns, by focussing on scalability, efficiency and leverage.
For her part, the CEO of JCL Investment, Patricia Sarfo, was optimistic that the deal will help the two institutions- FNSL and (Goodwell Micro Development Company) promote rural investment in the country.

One Pump! That's All!This is a lovely scented tamer and although I don't believe it provides more shine than it does weight, sparingly this does the trick of smoothing out some frizz and creating healthier looking tips. It's a bit on the heavy side so putting this anywhere around the base of your hair will leave it a bit limp and lifeless but closer to the ends will do your hair justice with it. I'd prefer a more li...read moreghtweight formula over this but this is a good alternative if you're in love with the "So Sexy" scent but don't overdo it either, it can leave build up and leaving hair looking like it hasn't been washed for days. — 9 years, 4 months agoVLA | 336 reviews
