Our impact on Climate Change
Daily we use energy, whether at home or when traveling. Most of the energy used in our households or when traveling comes from burning fossil fuels like coal, gas or oil. The burning of these fuels produces Co2, carbon dioxide, which is one of the most significant greenhouse gases causing climate change. Unfortunately, green energy is not yet used a lot. The sooner we all start using green energy, the better! By switching to green energy we can reduce our carbon footprint and stop Climate Change.
In the last forty years or so, the average temperature of the earth has significantly increased. By following global temperature records it is known that the earth has increased in warmth approximately 0.75°C in the last hundred years. This may not appear very dramatic at first sight, but if the temperature continues to rise this fast, it could be devastating on our environment!
As we know, one of the effects of climate change is that we get more and more frequent extreme weather. When rain comes down heavily, rivers will be bursting their banks more frequently. Flash-floods will become more common as a consequence. Since we started to record rain facts back in 1766, rainfall in winter England and Wales has slightly increased.
When we look at the last 45 years, it is evident that we have had more extreme rainfall. In 2009, flooding in the United Kingdom was by far the worst when compared to 270 other years. Areas like Cumbria for instance, witnessed widespread flooding..
Climate change is getting worse
Whilst flooding is getting worse, the summers are getting hotter and also drier. In central England the temperatures have risen with approximately one degree Celsius since the 1970s. And the year 2006 was the warmest on record. A climate change could be clearly felt! It might well that we are facing the kind of heat that killed thousands of people in Europe in 2003. We are seeing widespread water shortages already, and drought may well be one of our biggest threats.
What is clear, is that the cost to the environment at large, our society, our economy and not to forget our health will far outweigh any perceived benefits of a warmer climate. Fortunately, we can do something about it by reducing our carbon footprint.
By burning fossil fuels like oil, gas and coal carbon dioxide is produced. Carbon dioxide is one of the greenhouse gases that cause our climate to change. By switching to green energy, we will be able to counter these bad effects.
If we use less energy, we can all help to fight climate change. In addition, and as a pleasant side effect, we can all save money by reducing our use of fossil energy. The Environmental Outlook for 2050 of the OESO is predicting a somber outlook on our environment. If we do not change our habits, it is predicted that we will be using 80% more energy in forty years time! This implies that our globe will be getting hotter, and the amounts of water in the earth will diminish. If we do not undertake any action, we will be living on a planet with concentrated Co2 emissions that will cause the average temperature to rise with 5 to 6 %. The ice caps on the North pole have now melted to a degree never seen before. It is reckoned that Northern America and Canada will get severe winters due to this melting down.
Let's all take a step towards saving energy and reduce our carbon footprint now.

How can a teacher get an endorsement to become a classroom driver's education teacher?
If the teacher now holds a current teaching license at the elementary or secondary level, then s/he can take classes to gain the necessary license (endorsement) to teach the classroom and laboratory (car and simulator) parts of driver's education within an approved program. Classes are offered by the University of Northern Iowa (1-800-648-3864; the direct number is 319-273-7740) and by William Penn College (515-673-1019). These will be nine-semester hour programs.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
- Director
- Tommy Lee Jones
- Year
- 2005
- Rating
- Reviewed by
- José Ruiloba a.k.a. Morris

- Wednesday, November 02, 2005
Mike Norton (Barry Pepper) is sent to Texas as a border patrolman, where he moves with his wife Lou Ann (January Jones). One boring day Mike accidentally kills Melquiades Estrada (Julio Cesar Cedillo), an illegal immigrant caring for his sheep. Pete Perkins (Tommy Lee Jones), a ranch man who was Melquiades good friend, finds out about this and takes Mike as a hostage so they can both bring the dead mans corpse to Mexico with his family. But local Sheriff Belmont (Dwight Yoakam) wont make it any easy for him, especially since they have never liked each other and theyre both fucking the same woman, Rachel (Melissa Leo).
The movie starts with the most embarrassingly awful credits design I have seen in a high-profile movie. The names of the people involved appear in different bright colors (red, orange, green, blue, etc) with the backdrop of the sunny desert. I dont know why they did it, but those credits belong to a movie about a circus or something like that, not here.
The story is pretty interesting and original, but the movie does not sustain its premise as well as it should. I fault, surprisingly enough, Arriagas script. The movie is simply over-written. And I didnt even care that much for the Americans-bad-Mexicans-good one-dimensional approach. There are some scenes that are too over-the-top (take, for example, the exaggerated police team arriving at the blind mans house), the movie is told in non-linear episodic format (which in this case I dont think was really necessary), and there are entire bits that drag for a while (the whole middle section especially).
Theres also some cartoon-y feel to some of the proceedings. While in the desert, Mike has every inconvenience you can imagine, and its played as if we should feel good about this. Thing is we do, which is somewhat disturbing in a serious movie that is trying to say something real and important (albeit without any kind of subtlety). Theres even a scene where you think things couldnt get worse for him in which an angry lady beats the crap out of him, and the audience at my theater actually cheered and applauded. Ive got to admit it felt good, but Im not sure this in-your-face approach was necessary. Im just saying that I do know how border patrolmen can be unnecessarily tough to illegal immigrants, I know, but this movie borders on the ridiculous at times, believe me.
Ive mentioned the bad, now for the good. The movie has a political agenda and it certainly comes across loud and clear. Its an important subject to tackle and Im glad someone had the balls. The story of Pete is also well-handled and he is the most interesting character in the movie. Heres a man who once made a promise and is determined to see it happen, which says a lot about honor and dignity. The journey takes Pete through a series of events in which he changes and tries to find the meaning of his life. At the end of the day, the journey is about something completely different, sending Pete into a redemptive burst that comes in the heels of his uncertainty.
I also enjoyed the subplots involving Lou Ann and Rachel back in the US. Their stories and portrayals are the most real depictions in the movie. There are many women like them in real life, and they are presented as fully-fleshed three-dimensional individuals in the short period of time theyre given.
And also, there are some comedic bits involving the corpse that are very welcomed.
Kudos to every actor involved. Tommy Lee Jones delivers a performance that is a career highlight. He grounds the larger-then-life story and gives it weight. Melissa Leo and January Jones are extraordinary. Pepper and Yoakam are good as well, its just too bad their characters do not ring that true.
Still, a worthy trip.

Looking for pictures from this group from Nov 1967 to Nov 1968. Most of my support activity was between, just north of the 1st hanger toward the chapel and library, mess hall and living areas. I recall that our hooch was on the N-S road just across from an empty (sand) area with an out house. Most of my working area was from that first hanger and amongst several buildings there. There also was a recreation hut on the beach that got blown away. The three buildings I had were blown away, too and the first hanger was hit at least once.
Thank you

Announcement: New server generation
Friday, 26. April 2013
From mid-May 2013, a new server generation will be available to our customers. The new Intel servers form the basis of all solutions and products from nine.ch (with the exception of co-location and housing).
With the launch, the offer will also be simplified, so that in future the following servers will be available:
- 1 CPU (4 cores)
- 2x 1000 GB 3.5" SATA 7.2k
- total of 4 slots for 3.5" HDDs (available as an option with SSDs)
- 1 power supply
- 2 CPUs (each with 6 cores)
- 32 GB RAM (expandable as an option up to 192 GB)
- 2x 1000 GB 2.5" SATA 10k
- total of 8 slots total for 2.5" HDDs (available as an option with SAS or SSDs)
- Hardware-RAID controller (RAID-0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60)
- RAID BBU (battery back-up unit)
- 2 power supplies connected to different power circuits and USPs
The new models not only bring more power and a higher standard of equipment, but also require less current thanks to low-power CPUs and high efficiency power supplies, and are thus more environmentally friendly than their predecessors. The basic price remains unchanged, despite numerous improvements and upgrades.
Advance orders will be gladly accepted by email, and will be processed in order of receipt.
10 Gbps peering at Swisscom
Thursday, 18. April 2013
nine.ch now has a 10 Gpbs peering connection to Swisscom/IP-Plus. As the connection can withstand a high volume of traffic, this step further reduces the risk of bottlenecks; for example, in the event of DDoS attacks. The new peering connection also features IPv6 sessions, enabling Swisscom access customers with IPv6-enabled internet connections to take advantage of shorter routes to nine.ch.

Frank Lampard insists that he wants to remain at Chelsea for a number of years, following the examples of Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs.
The 33-year-old has one-year left on his current deal at Stamford Bridge, and he has been linked with moves to Spain, USA and China.
But Lampard has seen the likes of Scholes and Giggs playing well into their 30s and he wants to do the same.
"I love Chelsea and, ideally, I will be here longer than just one more season," he told the Sunday Mirror.
"I look at people like Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs at Manchester United and see what they are still doing and I would love to do the same for Chelsea. I want to emulate them."
Lampard admits he did think about leaving to play abroad a number of years ago, but he was more than happy to commit to Chelsea.
"I considered playing abroad three or four years ago, that's true. But I decided to be here at Chelsea for the long haul," he said.
"You can see what can be achieved by players like John Terry and Steven Gerrard who have been one-club men. Talks are planned with the club in the summer and as long as they want me, I would be more than happy to continue.
"As you get that bit older, you can't play the same way as you did five or six years ago. But I still feel I can contribute. I still feel good and I feel fresh in training and I am enjoying my football as much as ever."

You can't umpire your own Nation (Neutrality) If Venkat umpires the final, India lost the Semi. If India lost the Semi, Kenya are in the Final.

Simon has become my fav. Ump too. Noticed him in the Morocco series where Sanjay Manjraker always used to say in his every stint as a commentator when Simon was umpiring that he was very young and that he is very very good as an umpire. He seems to have carried that into the WC also.I have heard him commentating about Simon when he was Umpiring.
Krkode , Venkat must not have been picked b'coz he made some bad decisions in this WC. |

Volvo Trucks in North America announced it has entered into memorandums of agreement with both Telogis and Trimble to develop future fleet management services. Both companies are providers of onboard fleet management and location intelligence services.
Volvo will offer customers increased flexibility as they optimize the performance of their fleets using the Telogis platform and Trimble, owner of PeopleNet, range of applications. The agreements with Telogis and Trimble strengthen Volvo's Connected Vehicle Services category of Volvo Trucks Support Services.
Fleet management services offer fleet managers critical information such as location, fuel economy and vehicle and driver performance data for all trucks in a fleet. This information can be utilized by the fleets to control costs, increase safety, improve customer service and enhance operations. As a part of Volvo Trucks' evolving strategy focused on uptime, connected vehicle services now come standard on all Volvo-powered trucks with the launch of Remote Diagnostics.
Is Trimble interested in buying Telogis or dave is afraid of loosing his job and keep opposing to the sale of Telogis.Telogis can't compete with Trimble,Hughes's and Teletrac whats the point?
We offer e-newsletters that deliver targeted news and information for the entire fleet industry.

Lindsay Lohan Videos & News!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Lindsay Lohan still has a job apparently! Despite an outburst by fashion Emanuel Ungaro who attacked his fashion house for hiring Lohan they will give her a second chance. Ungaro called Lohan's first collection a disaster. The fashion label's boss Mounir Moufarrige (that's a mouthful) has decided to keep Lindsay on the payroll.
Mounir said: Yes, she's staying on; she has a job to do,". The fashion boss went on to say that Lindsay's critics were overal harsh. Moufarrige went on: "I am sure we can do better in the collection, to be honest. . . . But it did sell well."

This Song along with "Nikita" are the only Elton John Songs I like. For some reason this Song isn't the same without George Michael.
I'm not the expert, with Marketing and how things work. I don't know about all the Men passed over to put GM up front. He does seem to be 1 of the major Artists from my lifetime. I think his Sexual immorality has ruined him. Great looking talented Man. His singing gets to people.
one of the best duets of a great 70's song
Totally awesome!! Their vocals together give this song new life!

Constituents Urge Raptakis To Vote For Marriage Equality
More than 70 people from Coventry and EG gathered Monday evening in support of marriage equality legislation.
On Monday evening, more than 70 people from Coventry and East Greenwich gathered in the park at the Sandy Bottom Road/Tiogue Avenue intersection in Coventry to show their support for marriage equality. With the Senate Judiciary Committee due to vote on a bill today, the crowd gathered last night to call on Senator Lou Raptakis (D-Coventry, East Greenwich, West Warwick) to "support all loving and committed couples' right to marry the person they love," according to Kyle Megrath, Field Organizer for Rhode Islanders United for Marriage (RIUM). Senate Bill 38, sponsored by Sen. Donna M. Nesselbush (D-Pawtucket), would define marriage as "the legally recognized union" of two people, regardless of gender. According to Ray Sullivan, executive …

One of the fundamental principles taught in English 101 is the essay "thesis statement"–that's your stance on an issue, your argument, your point of view. When I first learned how to craft a thesis, my professor was very clear: never choose a topic related to life-or-death issues, because the goal of the essay is to convince someone of your viewpoint, and it's virtually impossible to shift someone's opinion when it comes to topics like capital punishment, abortion, or whether or not God exists.
Instead, he advised, choose a subject where people may hold a position but are still open to change, such as whether or not drinking coffee is bad for you, whether dogs are better pets than cats, or whether Julia Roberts is grossly overrated as an actress. (Okay, that last one doesn't count, since we all know that Julia Roberts is grossly overrated as an actress.).

Linda Muthama…Crazy In Love???
The question: Is Linda Muthama crazy in love or is she just selfish? I'm not going mad. Pulse is in the habit of making me wonder about the mental capacity of some of our so called "celebrities". Either that or Pulse has reporters who ask all the right questions to catch the subjects off guard. If you don't understand me, have a peek at the Shaffie Weru episode.
Anyway, I digress. A week or so ago, news spread like wildfire that Linda Muthama was pregnant with Nyambane a.k.a. Walter Mong'are's child. Why the hullabaloo??? Well, he just happens to be married with a child or children (not sure). Now, any other woman would go direct into hibernation (I applaud Valerie Kimani for that). But not Ms. Muthama. She has come out swinging, denying the pregnancy, but not the relationship: (more…)

Survival rates for prostate cancer
How is prostate cancer treated?
This information represents the views of the doctors and nurses serving on the American Cancer Society's Cancer Information Database Editorial Board. These views are based on their interpretation of studies published in medical journals, as well as their own professional experience.
The treatment information in this document is not official policy of the Society and is not intended as medical advice to replace the expertise and judgment of your cancer care team. It is intended to help you and your family make informed decisions, together with your doctor.
Your doctor may have reasons for suggesting a treatment plan different from these general treatment options. Don't hesitate to ask him or her questions about your treatment options.
Some general comments about prostate cancer treatment
Once your prostate cancer has been diagnosed, graded, and staged, you have a lot to think about before you and your doctor choose a treatment plan. You may feel that you must make a decision quickly, but it is important to give yourself time to absorb the information you have just learned. Ask questions of your cancer care team. Read the section, "What should you ask your doctor about prostate cancer?"
Depending on the situation, the treatment options for men with prostate cancer may include:
- Expectant management (watchful waiting) or active surveillance
- Surgery
- Radiation therapy
- Cryosurgery (cryotherapy)
- Hormone therapy
- Chemotherapy
- Vaccine treatment
These treatments are generally used one at a time, although in some cases they may be combined.
The treatment you choose for prostate cancer should take into account:
- Your age and expected life span
- Any other serious health conditions you may have
- The stage and grade of your cancer
- Your feelings (and your doctor's opinion) about the need to treat the cancer
- The likelihood that each type of treatment will cure your cancer (or provide some other measure of benefit)
- Your feelings about the possible side effects from each treatment
Many men find it helpful to get a second opinion about the best treatment options based on their situation, especially if there are several choices available. Prostate cancer is a complex disease, and doctors may differ in their opinions regarding the best treatment options. Speaking with doctors who specialize in different kinds of treatment may help you sort through your options. You will want to weigh the benefits of each treatment against its possible outcomes, side effects, and risks.
The main types of doctors who treat prostate cancer include:
- Urologists: surgeons who specialize in treating diseases of the urinary system and male reproductive system (including the prostate)
- Radiation oncologists: doctors who treat cancer with radiation therapy
- Medical oncologists: doctors who treat cancer with medicines such as chemotherapy or hormone therapy
It is important to discuss all of your treatment options, including goals and possible side effects, with your doctors to help make the decision that best fits your needs.
Once you decide on a treatment plan, many other specialists may be involved in your care as well, including nurse practitioners, nurses, nutrition specialists, social workers, and other health professionals.
The next few sections describe the types of treatments used for prostate cancer. This is followed by a discussion of the typical treatment options based on the stage of the cancer.

Director Bruce Ricker's film, narrated by jazz pianist Bill Charlap, delivers the usual expected endorsements from the likes of movie historian Leonard Maltin (Mercer is "in the pantheon" among the contributors of the Great American Songbook), but there's plenty here that hasn't been covered in years. Perhaps most jaw-dropping is the sheer amount of Mercer music, not just the classics like "Moon River" and "Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate the Positive," but ditties like "Jeepers Creepers" and "I'm an Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande," which will lead some viewers to ask themselves, "I can't believe he wrote that? And that? And that?"
Georgia peach: The 100th birthday of huckleberry friend Johnny Mercer is celebrated in a new book and Turner Classic Movies documentary. SPECIAL COLLECTIONS AND ARCHIVES, GEORGIA STATE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY
The Savannah-born Mercer was also an accomplished singer of his own songs, with a rich, resonant voice, as demonstrated via a generous amount of clips from long-forgotten TV variety shows from the 1950s and 1960s, series like Kraft Music Hall, The Ray Anthony Show and Bell Telephone Hour that are only vaguely replicated these days during PBS pledge drives. In fact, it's hard to tell whether he borrowed that casual crooning style from Bing Crosby, a frequent Mercer interpreter, or vice versa. And the cat could wail, notably in Mercer's version of "Jamboree Jones" from a 1956 telecast of The Rosemary Clooney Show.
Mercer's founding of Capitol Records during World War II is recalled, a label that broke racial boundaries by signing Nat King Cole, along with more personal details such as his more-than-friends relationship with Judy Garland (Mercer's wife Ginger had to intervene) that resulted in some of his best melancholy-infused ballads, as well as his occasional missteps as a mean drunk. Yet Ricker is adept at maintaining that anyone can interpret a Mercer number. There's a cute bit when daddy Clint instructs his daughter, braces-wearing teen Morgan, on the gifts of phrasing ("It's like telling a story") as the kid launches into "This Time the Dream's on Me." In contrast, there are several different versions of "That Old Black Magic" in the movie, the funniest being Keely Smith and Louis Prima's 1959 hit on a Dinah Shore show, with a mugging Prima changing a key lyric to "You're the blubber I have waited for." At the very least, this factoid-packed documentary offers a decade-by-decade breakdown of Tony Bennett's many hairstyles, which number almost as many as Joe Nicoletti.
The Dream's On Me is also timed to coincide with the release of The Complete Lyrics of Johnny Mercer (Alfred A. Knopf; $65; hardcover, 462 pages), a staggeringly hefty tome edited by Robert Kimball, Barry Day, Eric Davis and Miles Kreuger. More than 1,200 of his lyrics from the stage, screen and more are presented, with an assortment of old photos and sheet music reproductions, plus lyrics from the Christmas cards that he sent out to close friends.
Turner Classic Movies airs Johnny Mercer: The Dream's On Me on Wednesday, Nov. 4, 8 p.m. and midnight, as part of a November salute to Mercer's movie contributions on Wednesday nights. Also on Nov. 4 will be the musicals The Fleet's In (10 p.m.), Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (2 a.m.) and Blues in the Night (3:45 a.m.). The Nov. 11 lineup features Hollywood Hotel (8 p.m.), Garden of the Moon (10 p.m.), Mercer's acting turn in 1935's Old Man Rhythm (11:45 p.m.), which he described as "a B-movie, or an E-flat movie, Second Chorus (1:15 a.m.), Ready, Willng and Able (2:45 a.m.) and Hard to Get (4:30 a.m.), while Nov. 18 checks in with a daylong slate that includes You'll Find Out (6 a.m.), Navy Blues (8 a.m.), Top Banana (10 a.m.), You Can't Run Away From It (noon), Autumn Leaves (2 p.m.), The Americanization of Emily (4 p.m.), a 6 p.m. rebroadcast of The Dream's On Me plus The Harvey Girls (8 p.m.), Here Comes the Groom (10 p.m.), Breakfast at Tiffany's (midnight), Days of Wine and Roses (2 a.m.) and Going Places (4 a.m.). The Mercer movie marathons wrap on Nov. 25 with Road House (8 p.m.), Macao (10 p.m.), Li'l Abner (11:30 p.m.), The Belle of New York (1:30 a.m.), and The Sky's the Limit (3 a.m.).

MSC Seminars
Quench Detection and Protection of the Superconducting Fast Cycled Magnet
by Tiina Salmi (CERN - Technical Student)
Tuesday, 3 November 2009
at CERN ( 30-7-012 )
at CERN ( 30-7-012 )
Description |
The superferric PS2 Fast Cycled Magnet (FCM) is designed for a peak central magnetic field of 1.8 T and for a field ramp rate of 1.5 T/s. The cable is internally cooled and based on a Cable-Around Conduit Conductor design. For designing the appropriate magnet protection system it is necessary to understand the quench processes in the cable. We have performed a physical analysis based on simulations of thermo-hydraulic transients in the coils, considering a cable option with a Nb-Ti:Cu strand. In this seminar we will present: 1) The stability margin that is computed at different operation conditions and for different perturbation types. 2) A parametric quench study that is performed by simulating a quench at different operation points and evaluating the maximum temperature, pressure, massflow and the resistive voltage for different combinations of the quench detection time and time constant for the following current decay. 3) The physical model is extended for estimating the expected response of different inductive voltage compensation methods. The simulation results are applied in defining an optimum voltage detection threshold for different protection voltages. It is shown that, for the investigated conditions, a balanced bridge detector can decrease the inductive noise level below the sufficient detection threshold limits in FCM operation. |

Wellcome Images owns one of the most amazing collections of scientific imagery--mostly pertaining to the medical and biological sciences--spanning everything from scanning electron micrography to X-rays to conventional photographs of things the average photog doesn't often come across (like the inside of the human cranium). And once a year, the Wellcome Image Awards take the cream off the top of this incredibly rich collection, pooling the best new images in medical and bio-science in one place.
Winners are selected based on both scientific merit and artistic appeal, though aesthetics certainly seem to be front and center when scrolling through the complete collection of 16 winning images. These images bring viewers face to face with moth flies, miniscule caffeine crystals, and very, very young chickens--cancer cells, cell division, and lavender leaves.
Click though the gallery link above for a quick spin through a few of our favorites. The complete list of winners can be found at The Wellcome Collection's site (or on display at Wellcome's brick and mortar headquarters in London through the end of the year.
Five amazing, clean technologies that will set us free, in this month's energy-focused issue. Also: how to build a better bomb detector, the robotic toys that are raising your children, a human catapult, the world's smallest arcade, and much more.

Greece Travel Guide
Greek Island Guide
Hotels of Greece
Because it is low season it is not nessessary to book your hotel on the islands over Christmas. It is better to sit down with your travel agent when you arrive and plan your trip from there when you know what the weather will be like. There are days when you will be happier in Athens and there will be days when you will want to take advantage of the sunshine and go to the islands or take a day trip. But you won't know which days these are months in advance. So book your Athens hotel and then sit down with the travel agent. I recommend Fantasy Travel because they have great hotel rates, they speak English, are reliable and are right downtown a block from Syntagma Square at 8 Xenofotos. See www.fantasytravelofgreece.com
Stay as close as you can to Psiri, the Plaka or Gazi because that is where the fun will be. I stay at the Attalos Hotel on Athinas which is right onthe edge of Psiri and Monastiraki and has free wireless internet in the rooms and free use of computers in the special computer lounge which will save you a lot of money since you want have to go to an internet cafe where they charge by the hour. It also has one of the best winter bars in Athens which is great for nights that you just want to stay around the hotel and maybe even order pizza. Yes! You can get it delivered to the bar. You will get the cheapest rates available through the secure booking form on this site.
The Cecil Hotel is where I stay if the Attalos is full. It is more of a 19th century style hotel. Actually it was one of the first hotels in Athens. The Hotel Adonis is in the Plaka and that is a cozy and inexpensive hotel too though hard to find availability even in the winter. But right around the corner is the modern Hotel Central and every room has DSL though you have to pay for it. The Adams Hotel has low winter rates especially for extended stays for those who come to Athens to study. The Athens Cypria is a nice hotel though it is a higher catagory but it has a great location on a pedestrian street in the Ermou shopping district on the edge of the Plaka. The Electra Palace and Plaza Hotel are more expensive but most all of the hotels will have extra low rates over Christmas. Even the Grande Bretagne. See www.athensguide.com/hotels.html and www.hotelsofgreece.com
You can do day trips to places like Delphi, The Argolis, the Saronic Gulf Islands, Sounion and even some of the further islands if the highspeed ferries are running. I suggest contacting George the Famous Taxi Driver, especially if you are two or more people since he charges by the trip and not by the person. Otherwise the travel agencies offer daily trips at reasonable rates. See www.fantasytravelofgreece.com and click on organized land tours. For longer trips like to Meteora again I recommend George's Taxi or else rent a car from Elias at Swift who will drive you to the edge of Athens and let you take over from there.

There are few cruises over the Christmas holidays since most of the fleet will be in the Carribean but the Saronic Gulf Cruise that visits Aegina, Poros and Hydra goes pretty much everyday. For more information see www.greecetravel.com/cruise/saroniccruise or see www.fantasytravelofgreece.com and click on organized land tours.
You can also visit these islands on your own or with the help of a travel agent if you are going to stay the night. See www.greecetravel.com/islands for more info on these islands.
The best time to eat out in Athens is in the winter and over the Christmas holidays things are especially festive. Believe it or not there will be days when you have lunch outdoors and there will be restaurants that have heaters at night for outdoor dining like Byzantino in the Plaka. For restaurant reviews see www.athensguide.com/restaurants.html
Though some sites are closed on Mondays and may close earlier in the afternoon then they do in the summer, it is business as usual for them and Christmas is a great time to visit places that are usually very crowded in the summer. Plus everything is green. See www.athensguide.com/museum.html
Everything is open and in January everything goes on sale. If you come before Christmas it is fun to do your Christmas shopping in Athens and buy gifts you probably would not find at home.
Just because it is warm in Athens does not mean that there won't be snow on Mount Parnassos and in other ski areas of Greece. See www.greecetravel.com/ski You can also contact George the Famous Taxi Driver because one of my favorite drivers, Christos, is an avid skier and is happy to put the chains on the Mercedes and take people up to the ski resorts. if you go on the weekends they are very inexpensive. Contact Christos through George by e-mail
For other winter sports see www.greecetravel.com/trekking
Bring warm clothes because it can get chilly at night. I had a waterproof parka and a sweater and a thermal undershirt. It was rare that I needed all three at once and there were days when I just wore a t-shirt. Remember that anything you need you can buy in Athens and shopping is part of the fun.
You can find great deals on flights to Greece for Christmas and in the winter in general. Try www.greeceflights.com for starters. As for getting to the islands like Crete, Rhodes and Lesvos there are flights in the winter, though not as frequent in the summer. Ferries run daily to most islands. They can be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather though. Work with a travel agency in Athens so if there are transportation problems they can deal with them. They can find bargains on hotels easier than you can too.
Don't miss the Athens Zoological Park, especially if you are coming with your kids. See www.athensguide.com/zoo

(St. Louis) April 22, 2013 − Patricia Maryland, Dr.PH, has been promoted to President of Healthcare Operations and Chief Operating Officer for Ascension Health, effective July 1. Dr. Maryland will continue her roles as Michigan Ministry Market Leader for Ascension Health and President and CEO of St. John Providence Health System (SJPHS) in Detroit, a member of Ascension Health, through June 30.
Dr. Maryland has more than 30 years of healthcare leadership experience. Prior to joining St. John Providence in 2008, she served as President of St.Vincent Hospitals and Health Care Services and Regional Chief Operating Officer of St.Vincent Health in Indianapolis, another member of Ascension Health; as President of Sinai-Grace Hospital and Senior Vice President with the Detroit Medical Center; Chief Operating Officer at Sinai-Grace; Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for North Oakland Medical Centers in Pontiac, Mich.; and, several leadership roles with The Cleveland Clinic. Over the past five years she has led SJPHS on a transformational journey to a new way of operating that ensured the viability of the health system during one of the worst economic periods in Michigan history.
Among her recent accomplishments, Dr. Maryland worked in collaboration with physician leaders to lead the development of a new and innovative partnership with The Physician Alliance (TPA), a 2,200-member physician organization whose physician practices span five counties and 1,500 square miles of Southeast Michigan. This dynamic Physician-Hospital Organization, called Partners in Care, aligns the health system and TPA physicians to be successful in managing populations to better outcomes. The model was recognized and rewarded by Blue Cross in Michigan for up to three years of funding in support of developing a "new continuum of care" that will be unique in the marketplace and will position both St. John Providence and The Physician Alliance for the changes brought about by the Affordable Care Act.
In 2005, Dr. Maryland chaired the Citizens' Health Care Working Group; she was selected by the Comptroller General of the United States from a pool of more than 530 candidates. The 15-member Working Group was tasked with developing recommendations for the President and Congress that would result in "Health Care that Works for All Americans." She continues to maintain positive working relationships with government and regulatory agencies at both the state and federal levels.
"Pat's farsighted and thoughtful approach has been instrumental to advancing Ascension Health's Mission in Michigan and reaffirming our dedication to the region," said Robert J. Henkel, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer of Ascension Health. "She has motivated her Health Ministry and other Health Ministries in Michigan to aggressively look ahead to determine how to best serve a radically changed Michigan going forward. I look forward to Pat bringing her gifts and experience to her new, broader role in service to our national ministry."
"The Michigan Market of Ascension Health has begun leveraging our Health Ministries within the state to eliminate duplicate costs, pursue statewide contracting and develop enhanced revenue opportunities," Dr. Maryland said. "I'm excited about the opportunity to share such successes and the lessons we've learned in Michigan with my colleagues across Ascension Health, and to contributing in an even more far-reaching way to our common success in serving all persons with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable."
The search for new leadership to succeed Dr. Maryland in Michigan is under way.
Charles J. Barnett, FACHE, who currently serves as President of Healthcare Operations and Chief Operating Officer for Ascension Health, will transition to a new role as Executive Chairman of the Board of the Seton Healthcare Family in Austin, Texas. He also will work closely with the leadership of Ascension Health Alliance, the parent organization of Ascension Health, to advance the national ministry's transformational agenda, strengthen the effectiveness of local governing boards, and foster development of systems of health services and care for those who are poor and vulnerable that is person-centric and sustainable.
ST. LOUIS (APRIL 1, 2013) – Effective today, three regional health systems that comprised the Marian Health System have joined Ascension Health. St. Louis-based Ascension Health Alliance, parent organization of Ascension Health, reached an agreement with Marian Health System. Ascension Health is the largest Catholic and largest nonprofit health system in the nation.
The three health systems are Ministry Health Care in Wisconsin and Minnesota, St. John Health System in Oklahoma, and Via Christi Health in Kansas, which has been an affiliate of Ascension Health since 2007. Marian Health System was founded by the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother in 1989.
"Ascension Health Alliance and the health systems of Marian share a common mission of serving all with special attention to those who are poor and vulnerable," said Anthony R. Tersigni, EdD, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ascension Health Alliance. "We also share a commitment to providing spiritually centered, holistic care and advocating for a compassionate and just society through actions and words. This joining together is another expression of our ongoing commitment to strengthen Catholic healthcare."
"We're excited to welcome the three health systems of Marian to our national health ministry," said Robert J. Henkel, FACHE, President and Chief Executive Officer, Ascension Health. "Adding their strengths and expertise to those of Ascension Health creates a combined ministry that is even better able to live our Mission of serving all and to position ourselves to meet the needs of our communities."
Nicholas F. Desien, in addition to his role as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ministry Health Care, has agreed to also serve as Ascension Health Ministry Market Leader for Wisconsin, Kansas and Oklahoma. As Ministry Market Leader, Mr. Desien will provide leadership, support and direction to the Health Ministries in these three states, sharing accountability for their strategic positioning and operational performance.
"We're pleased that Nick Desien has agreed to add the role of Ministry Market Leader to his responsibilities," Mr. Henkel said, "and our executive leadership community looks forward to working closely with him and with all of the leaders, associates and physicians across the three new Health Ministries of Ascension Health."
In addition, Sister Therese Gottschalk, who has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Marian Health System, has agreed to assume a new role as Executive Advisor to the President and Chief Executive Officer of Ascension Health, where her experience and knowledge will be invaluable in supporting the transition of the new Health Ministries. She will continue to serve on the Boards of Ministry Health Care, St. John Health System and Via Christi Health.
The process to bring Ascension Health and Marian Health System together began more than two years ago, when, recognizing the challenges facing hospitals around the country and the imminent demands and opportunities of healthcare reform, the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother and its health systems' leadership pursued a strategy to identify a national partner.
Marian Health System leadership determined Ascension Health to be the best fit because of the alignment of Mission, values and management styles across both organizations.
"Ascension Health shares our goal of serving the community, with special attention to the poor," Sister Therese said. "By joining representatives of other religious congregations and laypersons in the sponsorship structure of Ascension Health Alliance, the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother are able to ensure Catholic healthcare in the United States remains strong."
The health systems announced plans to enter into the agreement in August 2012. Specific terms of the final agreement are confidential. The agreement includes Marian's hospitals and more than 180 hospitals, clinics and other sites of care throughout Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oklahoma and Kansas.
Ministry Health Care is the second healthcare ministry of Ascension Health in Wisconsin, joining Columbia St. Mary's in the greater Milwaukee area. Columbia St. Mary's operates four hospitals and 62 clinics serving families in Milwaukee, Ozaukee, Washington and Sheboygan counties and has been a ministry of Ascension Health since its founding in 1999.

(Hartford, Conn; St. Louis) January 16, 2013 – Saint Francis Care, Inc., and Ascension Health Care Network announced today the signing of an exclusive Letter of Intent, opening the way for Saint Francis Care to join Ascension Health Care Network, with the vision of building a statewide, clinically integrated healthcare delivery system composed of high-quality providers committed to delivering an unequaled combination of healthcare quality and community value to residents across Connecticut.
Ascension Health Care Network is an affiliate of Ascension Health Alliance, the largest Catholic health system in the nation.
"We are very pleased that we and Ascension Health Care Network are pursuing the opportunity to join together," said Christopher Dadlez, President and Chief Executive Officer, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center. "This step follows a thorough examination of how best to ensure that the people we serve in our communities continue to receive a lifetime of the very best care possible," said Dadlez.
"This is an important step in advancing the mission of both Ascension Health Care Network and Saint Francis Care," said Leo P. Brideau, President and CEO of Ascension Health Care Network. "We share a common goal of providing high-quality, efficient care that responds to people's physical, emotional and spiritual needs while aggressively advocating for the well-being of our patients and their families, and ensuring healthcare is available to those who are poor and vulnerable. We believe this relationship has the potential to improve healthcare at both the state and regional level."
If an agreement is finalized, Saint Francis Care will become part of Ascension Health Care Network, an organization dedicated to strengthening Catholic healthcare in the United States and committed to providing care for the underserved in our communities. Ascension Health Care Network is a for-profit, taxable organization.
"Saint Francis, a 116-year-old institution, has consistently demonstrated its ability to be progressive in its delivery of world-class care while maintaining its longstanding tradition of quality and compassionate care," said Karl J. Krapek, Saint Francis Board Member and Chairman of the Board's Strategic Planning Committee. "Operating from our position of financial and clinical strength, we have been evaluating how best to position Saint Francis as healthcare continues to evolve, and we have concluded that this opportunity provides us with the potential to create a powerful, statewide presence to further build on the strengths of our operations that will benefit our communities, employees, physicians and other stakeholders."

OTTAWA - If the NHL wants to talk, the union is willing to listen.
Senators defenceman Chris Phillips, a member of the NHLPA�s bargaining committee, confirmed Tuesday the union will pick up the phone to let NHL commissioner Gary Bettman know it�s ready, willing and able to get back to the table.
With the collective bargaining agreement set to expire Sept. 15 and camps scheduled to open Sept. 21, discussions between the NHL and NHLPA broke down Friday in New York and no further talks are even planned.
�I don�t know if it�s anyone�s court,� said Phillips following an informal skate at the Bell Sensplex.
�We�ve made it clear, and I know we�ll reach out again this week to say, �We�re here, we�re available if you want to talk� because we know nothing is going to get it done if everyone is sitting on the sidelines.�
The league and the players agreed to touch base this week to try to keep the lines of communication open, but both sides are entrenched in their positions which means they really don�t have a lot to discuss. A meeting for the NHL's board of governors has been scheduled for Sept. 13 in New York, two days before a possible lockout. The players also will meet in New York, Sept. 12-13.
Phillips, who was in New York to help NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr craft the latest proposal made Friday during a 90-minute meeting, seemed genuinely surprised the latest offer was dismissed quickly.
He noted the NHLPA believes the framework is in place for a new CBA with a salary cap system similar to what�s being used right now and the players have made significant concessions to try to get a deal done.
�From where we started, basically we started with the current system and we�ve negotiated down from that,� said Phillips. �Every proposal we�ve made: The first one was better than the current system and the last one (Friday) was better than the one before that.�
Clearly, the union was offended by the NHL�s latest offer to give the players 46% of revenues after they collected 57% in the agreement signed in 2005.
�From their side, they came at us with a fictitious number (in their first proposal) that was out of line and made some concessions from that,� said Phillips. �I thought (the NHLPA�s offer) would spur on more talks because those are real numbers we�re talking about and giving up dollars on that, but I guess not.�
Phillips told the Sun Friday he was �optimistic� a deal could still get done before Sept. 15. He is trying to stay positive.
�It was a long weekend. Maybe they just wanted to get that holiday in before this week started,� said Phillips, tongue in cheek. �It�s easier to be more optimistic when there is communication going on. It�s not happening right now, but we�ll wait and see how long it goes.
�It�s disappointing. After we went back to them on Friday and made concessions ... it didn�t seem to get us anywhere. We�ll see how long they go without talking. But, I know from our side, guys are staying (in New York) and we�re available and want to try to get this going.�
As Phillips said, this is all part of negotiations.
�There�s always posturing. That�s what negotiations are. Who knows what is going on (on) their side and what they�re trying to accomplish right now,� said Phillips. �We�d like to see a deal get done. We want to get back playing and it�s not going to get done if we�re not talking.�

Number of roots of polynomialsThis can be proved using the equivalent of the division algorithm for polynomials over a field. A simple proof of this using induction on the degree of can be found on p.28 of D.J.H. Garling, A Course in Galois Theory (1986), Cambridge University Press. Note that this applies to polynomials over a field only. This wont work with rings in general, e.g. and in . However, if is an integral domain, we can apply the division algorithm to polynomials over its field of fractions . Let be a polynomial of degree in . Let be a root of Considering as a polynomial in , we can write where and . Then . Thus . If is another root of distinct from , write where and . Then as . Thus . Continuing this way, we find that if are all the distinct roots of , then we have for some . It follows that cannot have more than roots in since has degree and so cannot be factorized into more than linear factors in . And since a root of polynomial in is also a root of a polynomial in (Gausss lemma), our proof is complete. If is not an integral domain, it may be possible for an th-degree polynomial in to have more than roots. For instance, as a polynomial over , the quadratic polynomial actually has 4 roots, namely 1, 3, 5, 7. Thats because is not an integral domain and so we cannot construct its field of fractions. #2 2009-08-29 09:49:08

Published on 15/01/2012 at 07:16 PM.
There is only one source for these rumours, Kevin Dent, a 'ten year veteran from the digital video games industry'.
According to Kevin THQ has stopped work on the Disney license, cancelled all of their 2014 line up (including its Warhammer 40K MMO) and offered the sale of the business to Asian firms.
Just before Christmas THQ lost thirty staff after uDraw failed to perform on the PS3 and Xbox 360, however Saints Row The Third was the ninth best-selling game in the UK last year.
This year THQ have Darksiders II, Metro: The Last Light and UFC3 scheduled for release.
As always these rumours should be treated with a vat load of salt.

I know that somewhat traditionally people tend to eat lots of starches and carbs to fill glycogen stores (like the carbo loads the night before highschool football games), but this seems more difficult from a Paleo perspective. I have a Crossfit competion coming up and I was wondering what I should be eating in the days before, and even more specifically the night before and morning of for maximum performance. Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions as to what to eat? Thanks so much.
I don't have time to do the in depth answer I would love to do, but I wanted to get you at least somewhere to start. First of all, if this event is coming up soon, like in the next 2 weeks, I wouldn't change anything you are currently doing. You don't want to confuse your body now. If you do have time to test some things out there are some great ideas for endurance/event training in these threads: http://paleohacks.com/questions/6122/adapting-the-paleo-diet-for-endurance-athletics#axzz1VPdCKNjZ http://paleohacks.com/questions/42770/endurance-training-and-paleo-diet#axzz1VPdCKNjZ |
I've been a crossfit competitor for 3 years now and one of the most important things I learned is to not change anything you're doing just because you have an event coming up. Just make sure you're prepared at the event for post-workout fueling/hydration etc. So plan ahead so you can pack food and snacks accordingly. It is more important that you take a rest day and get a couple days of awesome sleep beforehand. That will make more difference than anything. I asked Matt Lalonde the same question and he actually told me something interesting that I might try one day. He said to go super low carb for about a week until 3 days prior to competition, then gorge on starchy carbs like sweet potato/yams to jam pack your glycogen and energy stores. I've not tried it yet, but it makes some sense why this might work. |
I prefer to take a week with a bit easier training (maybe one short metcon/low volume strength workout on 90% effort). The last day or two, I rest and consume a shitload of nutrient dense calorie rich food. I totally agree with Dr. Ryan regarding the post workout nutrition/hydration. |
