COM(2011) 224 final
Proposal for a
amending Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 setting up the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking
Grounds for and objectives of the proposal
Joint Technology Initiatives (JTIs) are introduced in the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7)[1] on the basis of Article 187 TFEU (ex Article 171 TEC), as a way of creating public-private partnerships in research at European level. JTIs are an expression of the EU's strong commitment to coordinating research efforts, strengthening the European Research Area and reaching Europe's competitiveness goals.
The Joint Undertaking for Fuel Cells and Hydrogen (FCH JU) was established by Council Regulation (EC) 521/2008 of 30 May 2008. The three members, the Industry Grouping (IG), the Research Grouping (RG) and the European Commission share the funding of administrative and operational costs.
A requirement for the participation of industry from the outset was that industry should make a financial contribution of 50% of the running costs (shared with the Commission), and that industry's in-kind contribution to the operational costs should at least match the Commission's financial contribution.
Since its establishment the FCH JU has published three calls for proposals: the first covering 28.1 M€, the second 73.1 M€ and the third 89.1M€. The provision for matching contributions from industry for operational costs means that industry also has to cover contributions to the other participants (including universities, research centres, public bodies, etc.) for all types of activities (including basic research).
The result in the first two FCH JU calls for proposals is that the maximum funding levels have to be systematically evaluated and reduced for all participants. For the first two calls the matching requirement resulted in a significant reduction of reimbursement of direct costs: for large industries from 50% to 33% FCH JU contribution and for SMEs and research bodies from 75% to 50%.
These funding levels are substantially lower than in FP7 (including the European Green Cars programme for battery electric vehicles) as well as in fuel cells and hydrogen R&D programmes outside Europe. The low funding rates and the financial and economic crisis, which affects the industry working with this future technology, result in the current level of participation in the actions of the FCH JU being below initial expectations. A general loss of interest by both industry and the research community can be expected if we continue along the same path.
Furthermore, contributions from public national and regional sources to the projects are encouraged and are expected in several cases. However, the current Regulation does not take it into account. The new text states that the matching of EU funds shall allow taking into account not only industry's own contribution but also that coming from the other legal entities participating in the activities.
Given that in case of repeated insufficient matching the Commission shall first analyse the situation and then decide on appropriate measures to take, Article 12.7 second paragraph of the Annex to Regulation (EC) N° 521/2008 "the Commission shall…" has been modified to "the Commission may…".
In addition, the Industry and Research Groupings have the obligation to pay their cash contributions to the FCH JU budget for the running costs "in advance, before the start of each financial year". The Financing agreement between the Commission and the FCH JU, developed after the establishment of the FCH JU, provides for the Commission itself to pay only in instalments during the financial year. It is equitable that the two Groupings would be given the same conditions.
At present the funding level is determined after each evaluation. To increase the necessary predictability for the beneficiaries, a possibility to specify the minimum funding level for a call is introduced.
The objective of the proposal is to adapt the provisions to the above conditions.
- General context
Fuel cells and hydrogen (FCH) technologies are promising, long-term energy options that can be used in all the sectors of the economy and that offer a broad range of benefits for energy security, transport, environment and resource efficiency. They are expected to play a major role in the transition of the EU to a low-carbon society and to achieve the goal of cutting GHG emissions by over 85% by 2050.
FCH technologies offer to the end-user a variety of applications: (i) stationary, e.g. to generate electricity and/or heat, (ii) transport, e.g. to power vehicles, buses and trains, and (iii) portable, e.g. to power laptops and cell phones. Over the last years, the FCH industry has made considerable progress both in terms of technology development in all these application areas, particularly in performance improvement, and cost reduction.
For example, in the transportation sector, the market with highest visibility and potential for GHG reduction, a recent in-depth study using factual data from the industry concludes that fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) and battery electric vehicles (BEVs) have significant potential to reduce CO2 and local emissions and that both will be viable and complementary alternatives to conventional vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICEs) by 2025, or earlier with appropriate tax exemptions and/or incentives. The study also estimates that over the course of the next decades, costs for a hydrogen distribution and retail infrastructure will be 5% of the overall cost of FCEVs (€1,000-2,000 per car) which is comparable to rolling out a charging infrastructure for BEVs and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and justifies building a dedicated hydrogen infrastructure.
In order to enable the full contribution of FCH technologies continuous and stable public support and accompanying policy measures are still needed to overcome the remaining technological, economic and institutional barriers to their widespread commercialization. Despite the financial crisis the major EU competitors in this field (US, Japan, South Korea and China) continue to conduct comprehensive efforts to overcome these barriers via RTD programmes, policy measures and commercialisation exercises.
Existing provisions in the area of the proposal
There are four other Joint Undertakings established under Article 187 TFEU (ex Article 171 TEC): CLEAN SKY, IMI, ARTEMIS and ENIAC. Each JU has its provisions adapted to the specificities of its area of activity.
Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union
As one of the initiatives launched in January 2007 in the communication 'An Energy Policy for Europe'[2], the European Commission is developing a European Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET Plan)[3] to guide the course of energy technology innovation over the coming decades, deliver efficient and low-carbon technologies including fuel cells and hydrogen, and arrive at a more sustainable energy system. The European Parliament adopted a Written Declaration[4] in May 2007 which called upon the EU Institutions to support fuel cell and hydrogen technologies for portable, stationary, and transport applications through a partnership with committed regions and cities, SMEs and civil society organisations.
The proposed Council Regulation is consistent with EU policies in research. It is also consistent with the renewed Lisbon strategy[5] and the Barcelona objectives for the EU to invest 3% of its GDP in research and development by 2010. The Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) (2007-2013) plays an important role for Europe to meet these objectives. It also reflects a consensus that Europe must re-double its efforts to improve returns from its RTD&D investments in order to equip itself as a competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy.
This initiative is part of a broad, ambitious EU strategy aimed at tackling the innovation gap which includes the proposal to establish a European Institute of Technology.

Proposal for a
amending Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 setting up the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (Text with EEA relevance)
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 187 and 188 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament[6],
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee[7],
1. The Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking (FCH JU) was established on 30 May 2008 by its founding members, the Industry Grouping and the Commission.
2. The Research Grouping became a member of the FCH JU on 14 July 2008. This Grouping contributes both financially and in kind to the objectives of the FCH JU. Account taken of the specific composition of the FCH JU as well as its rules and the nature, objectives and scope of its activities, the Research Grouping's members may benefit from the results achieved like the members of the Industry Grouping. It is therefore justified to allow the in-kind contribution from both the Industry and Research Groupings to be counted for as matching funds.
3. The Research Grouping became a member of the Joint Undertaking, it is appropriate to consider that the in-kind contributions of research organisations (including universities and research centres) match the Community's contribution, in the sense of Article 12(3) of the Statutes.
4. The FCH JU has been in operation for more than two years during which time the full operational cycle with publishing calls for proposals, evaluations of proposals, negotiations of funding and closing of grant agreements has been completed. The experience gained from that period is that the maximum funding levels in FCH JU projects had to be significantly decreased for all participants. As a result, the level of participation in the actions of the FCH JU proved to be considerably below initial expectations.
5. In accordance with Article 26 of the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 setting up the Fuel Cells and Hydrogen Joint Undertaking[8], the Governing Board approved the amendments of this Regulation.
6. Allowing in-kind contributions from all legal entities participating in the activities to be counted for as matching funding, would recognise the membership of the Research Grouping and would improve the funding levels while still respecting the basic principle of matching, as well as the need to apply fair and balanced funding reductions to the different types of participants.
7. The running costs of the Programme Office of the Joint Undertaking should be provided by its three members. It is appropriate to provide that all members of the Joint Undertaking have the same payment schedule.
8. The Commission should be given some flexibility as to the measures to take in case of insufficient matching.
9. At present the funding level is determined after each evaluation of received proposals. In order to allow the beneficiaries to estimate the extent of the potential funding, a possibility to specify the minimum funding level for a call should be provided for.
10. Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 should therefore be amended accordingly,
Article 1
The Regulation (EC) No 521/2008 is amended in accordance with the Annex to this Regulation.
Article 2
Notwithstanding Article 12(3) of the Annex to Regulation No 521/2008, the amending Regulation shall not affect the rights and obligations arising from grant agreements and other contracts concluded by the Joint Undertaking prior to the date of entry into force of this Regulation. In particular, it shall not affect the upper funding limits set therein.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union .
However, point 3(a) of the Annex shall apply from 14 July 2008.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

13. Article 12 is amended as follows:
(a) Paragraph 3 is replaced by the following:
"3. The operational costs of the FCH Joint Undertaking shall be covered through the financial contribution of the Union, and through in-kind contributions from the legal entities participating in the activities. The contribution from the participating legal entities shall at least match the Union's financial contribution.
Receipts shall be dealt with in accordance with the Rules of Participation set out in the Decision No 1982/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Seventh Framework Programme of the European Community for research, technological development and demonstration activities (2007-2013)[9]. This provision shall apply from the date on which the Research Grouping became member of the FCH Joint Undertaking.";
(b) Paragraph 7 is amended as follows:
(i) The second and third subparagraphs are replaced by the following:
"If the assessment establishes that the in-kind contribution from the participating legal entities does not reach the required level, the Commission may reduce its contribution the following year.
If it is established that the in-kind contribution from the participating legal entities does not reach the required level for two consecutive years, the Commission may propose to the Council to terminate the FCH Joint Undertaking.".
14. In Article 15, the following paragraph 4 is added:
"4. The Governing Board may decide to specify a minimum funding level for each category of participant for a particular Call for proposals."
This proposal for an amendment has no impact on the EU budget.

BOSTON -- The Boston Celtics waived centre Darko Milicic on Wednesday, ending the No. 2 pick in the 2003 draft's brief stay with the team.
General manager Danny Ainge said Milicic asked for his release to deal with a personal matter.
"It's pretty much unemotional because we never really had a chance," Boston coach Doc Rivers said of losing him before the Celtics' game against San Antonio. "You know how I feel about stuff outside of basketball and how important it is."
Rivers also said the team was unsure what it was going to do with his roster spot.
Milicic played five minutes in one game this season. He had zero points, one rebound and two turnovers.

In person, the Apple Studio Display looks like a smaller cousin to the wide-screen, 22-inch Apple Cinema Display. Both share the same gorgeous, silver-gray and transparent plastic, easel-type casing. The ultraslim package is just 6.9 inches deep (9.8 inches with the hinge fully extended) and tips the scales at a mere 14.6 pounds.
Typical for an Apple product, the hookup process is swift and simple. Just plug the monitor into your Mac's ADC slot (more about this later), switch on your Mac, and you're ready. To get the full range of screen resolutions, however, you'll need to install the software from the CD provided with the package. There are separate installers for Mac OS 9.1 and Mac OS X. All two external controls--Brightness and Sleep/Power On--are located on the bottom front of the display. On the back of the panel, you'll find two USB ports.
To set viewing angle, you'll need to move the rear hinge back and forth--a slightly awkward process but it works. The Apple Studio Display lacks height and tilt adjustments, but you probably won't miss them; the screen is well placed by design.
Beautiful inside and out
When we turned on the apple Studio Display, it looked great: bright with rich colors and fine detail. CNET Labs' benchmark tests, based on the DisplayMate suite, confirmed what our eyes already told us: the picture is simply stunning, with brilliant colors, clear text, and next-to-perfect color uniformity. The native resolution of 1,280x1,024 pixels provides a display area quite close to that of a 21-inch CRT monitor.
So what's wrong with this picture? Well, all current Apple displays use a proprietary connection scheme called Apple Display Connector (ADC), which combines the digital video, USB and AC power in a single cord that plugs into your Mac. The thing is, only Power Mac G4s from summer 2000 or later and the now-discontinued Cube have ADC connectors. In order to hook up an older Mac, you'll need a display card with DVI-out, in addition to a special adapter interface. Such a product can cost from $150 (for Dr. Bott's DVIator) to $200 (for Gefen's ExtendIt).

I realised tonight that no many people probably no much about the good old aussie EMU. These birds (that don't fly) have a very close resemblence to an ostrich but not as large. There eggs are huge (and they are the most beautiful green). There eggs are collected and used for art purposes. I have seen some done by artists and they are quite beautiful.
I have come across Emu's quite a few times and they are quite aggressive. I wouldn't like to try and make friends with one; I think they could give you a pretty nasty peck!

This beer was poured from the bottle into a pint glass.
This stout is black with no light penetration. There is a short lived head that dissapates quickly.
On the nose there are bits of dark fruits, chocolate, coffee as well as some hops. Good smelling ale.
The taste was more bitter than expected with fairly assertive hops and alcohol. Still notice the dark fruit.
This stout was pretty smooth with light carbonation.
Not the best imperial stout I ever had, but not bad. I am glad I gave it a go, but do not plan on buying again anytime soon.

In budding yeast, acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56 (H3-K56) is catalyzed by the Rtt109-Vps75 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex, with Rtt109 being the catalytic subunit, and histone chaperone Asf1 is required for this modification. Cells lacking Rtt109 are susceptible to perturbations in DNA replication. However, how Asf1 regulates acetylation of H3-K56 and how loss of H3-K56 acetylation affects DNA replication are unclear. In vitro, here we show that at low concentrations, the Rtt109-Vps75 HAT complex acetylates H3-K56 when H3/H4 complexed with Asf1, but not H3/H4 tetramers, recapitulating the in vivo requirement of Asf1 for H3-K56 acetylation using recombinant proteins. Moreover, the Rtt109-Vps75 complex interacts with Asf1-H3/H4, but not Asf1. In vivo, Rtt109 interacts with Asf1 transiently and this interaction is abolished in the Asf1(V94R) mutant that loses its ability to bind H3/H4. Furthermore, the Rtt109 homolog in Schizosaccharomyces pombe (SpRtt109) also displayed an Asf1-dependent H3-K56 HAT activity in vitro. These results indicate that Asf1 regulates H3-K56 acetylation mainly through its effect on histones H3 and H4, and this effect is likely to be conserved. Lastly, we have shown that cells lacking Rtt109 or expressing H3-K56 mutants exhibited significant reduction in the association of three proteins with stalled DNA replication forks and hyperrecombination of replication forks stalled at replication fork barriers of the ribosomal DNA locus compared to wild type cells. Taken together, these studies provide novel insight into the role of Asf1 in the regulation of H3-K56 acetylation and the function of this modification in DNA replication.

Who is the strongest?
Old school Unohana, child Zaraki, or young adult Yama(from his flashback from Juha Bach)?
Who is the strongest?
Old school Unohana, child Zaraki, or young adult Yama(from his flashback from Juha Bach)?
Child zaraki is stronger thenn unohana was she said so herself, he limited his own power unconsiously.
Yama is likely still a lot stronger. He might actualy have been alot stronger back thenn thenn as a old man. Atleast yuha bach inplied it.
Yama >>>>>>>>>>>>> zaraki >>> unohana
I thought he would be in a frenzy mode or something. Unohana won't be killed this easily, so i figured it could be that maaaaaybe somebody tried to do something and got killed instead.
A Stern Ritter attack is too soon, we have yet Ichigo+Renji at only the second guy, so 2 more to go. At the third or before they are finished with the fourth the attack will be started already tho, and they have something against the steal bankai thingie (which, ofc, will let everybody use their bankai and then the SR gets a power up and you know how it goes).
Maybe the counter for the bankai stealing will be found just before Unohana and Zaraki finish, and that's why they are done? Doubt that tho...
It seems the most logical to happen is that Zaraki will show mercy.
Wasn't Yama's arm wounded and he never let it heal correctly? That was why he wasn't so strong as he 'could' be.
I'm inclined to think Unohana won't have much choice in whether she lives or dies in all fairness.
If they had continued to fight and Zaraki hadn't lowered his reiatsu to make it last longer when he was still a kid, she would have died then considering her wounds already. It stands to reason that he likely got stronger with age so, once she finally breaks his 'shackles', she won't be able to stop him killing her. Her fate, is literally in his hands: his sword. It's his choice whether she lives or dies.
I'm betting she dies in all honesty. That would be the two oldest and strongest out of the way, making room to show off some other powerful fighters. The strongest 2 fighters being dead means other are pushed to using abilities that are powerful but have been hidden up to now.
Shunsui, Ukitake, I'm looking at you guys!
Also, please don't let her be his mother lol
And yes, Yama-ji left himself with an arm missing simply due to pride really. The exact same reason he still had a body covered in battle scars. Just out of pride.
Ya but Unohana said she was the strongest back then.
I actually think Yama is stronger now than back then. Old Yama has 4 bankais lol, although the younger him was obviously probably a little physically stronger and probably had more reiatsu. I feel like he developed his bankai since then.
Well, it would be a bit weird if it was her choice wether she would live or die wouldn't it? :P
It's too early to kill her off. All we know about her Shikai is that it's a flying manta ray that heals people within it's stomach. Maybe hers works just like Yumichika Ayasegawa (totally had to look up his name...) and her Shikai has two 'forms' too.
Then again...Kenpachi's fight without real ability and rely on their own strenght.
It would not make much difference i guess. We don't know about his bankai before, but yes; it is more developed then when he was younger. I think in psychical strenght the old one (or rather, the one with the healty arm) would easily win.
That's actually a good point, Yama-ji and Unohana dead. Ichigo, Renji and Byakuya off getting healed and (possibly) Powered-up... Doesn't leave much does it , the walking Ice-cube, Doggybags and the Mad Scientist, I'm guessing Shunsui and Ukitake will be leading the charge.
I agree about Yama-ji's arm, but I think he kept the scars a) because they make him look boss and b) certainly the face ones were as a mark of his respect for Sasakibe for being ABLE to scar him.
and Blue, Yama-ji didn't have four bankais, he had ONE Bankai with FOUR abilites (North, South, East and West), in the same way that Byakuya has one bankai, but with three abilities Senkei (the glowing sword "Arena" thingy he dueled Ichigo in) Gokei (the bubble of doom he used to pwn Zommari) and Shukei: Hakuteiken (the glowing sword/wings he used to draw with Ichigo).
That said I agree with Reluctant Yama>>>>>Zaraki>Unohana
Reading the A song of Ice and Fire series is like playing with an adorable puppy, then someone comes up out of nowhere and shoots the puppy, then punches you in the face
Kubo had influenza and took the week off.
Why don't you catch up to Naruto while you have the free time, eh?
Ah alright and I guess i should yeah :P
eww Naruto . I stopped reading that years ago, how is it going at the moment? I disliked that Naruto was supposed to be a ninja, yet wore bright orange and shouted all the time... is that still true?
Reading the A song of Ice and Fire series is like playing with an adorable puppy, then someone comes up out of nowhere and shoots the puppy, then punches you in the face
Naruto is a lot better than it used to be lol. Shipudden is a lot better, and no, he isn't like that anymore, he's not even like he used to be.
You should definitely go read the manga and see the anime.
Last 50 chapters or so have been amazing, and the last one, certainly was amazing.
I agree. This week's chapter is pretty awesome. Laughs, hit in the feels, and the kind of dialogue that I can get my teeth sunk in to. Naruto has certainly changed (for the better) from a childish start with the beginning of Shipudden (imo) to something amazing.
Anyway, yeah. :[ I'm saddened there's no Bleach this week. It's finally getting good again!!
Can't really argue with that now can I! So would you suggest skipping right to Shipudden then? Probably not a bad Idea, I'll be finishing Sword Art Online tonight (I know, I'm late to the party, I was rewatching Farscape ) and then I'll have nothing to watch, might give Naruto another go. Then again I should probably read the Manga first, it's usually better
Yeah, that's one problem with having a series like this, that's rolled out fresh every week and ALL done by one guy, if for any reason he can't do his thing BAMF, the manga goes down . Lets just with Kubo san a speedy recovery and pray he's all better by next week
Reading the A song of Ice and Fire series is like playing with an adorable puppy, then someone comes up out of nowhere and shoots the puppy, then punches you in the face
i would say that in naruto you should at least watch the fight between gaara and rock lee since it's one of the best moments of the anime :P
someone else might have gotten it wrong.
Nah just watch it from the beginning if you want, it'll make more sense, but the latter half of Naruto is a shit ton of fillers, and useless story. However, as soon as Shippuuden gets rolling its pretty amazing for about 150 episodes, then the fillers roll in like crazy; The overall story arc w/o fillers is still really good though. Just search on the interwebs about a list of Naruto filler episodes, and skip them.
I did the same for bleach when i rewatched all the anime, it was 1000000000x better imo. Also SAO is fcking amazing, so that takes prio, from your avatar description, you've already seen Steins;Gate so I'm not gonna suggest that, but yea that shit is epic as well.
If you skip all the filler its not terible with a few really nice moments, Zabuza and Haku, gaara vs rock lee, the guy wo fights with his bones.. and thats all i can remember beign above par from the whole thing.
And yes SOA is great especialy the first game.
Tbh I might start from Naruto, because I hate reading something and not getting all the references, but I'll read the manga, because the only thing I hate more than not getting references is filler . SAO was pretty good, I know it's bad... but I really wanna live in SAO(the game, not the series), if you get past the whole "death is real" thing, it seems like a nice place to live . Sadly I thought the series went a bit wrong after about episode 15... It should go without saying, but, DON'T kill off the primary antagonist 1/2 way through the fucking series, it didn't work with Death Note, it doesn't work with SAO and the ending... annoyed me, quite a bit. Yeah Stiens;gate is LEGENDARY, can't wait for the movie to come out.
Reading the A song of Ice and Fire series is like playing with an adorable puppy, then someone comes up out of nowhere and shoots the puppy, then punches you in the face
Well read the manga, and then watch the fights that interest you As most of them are watchable up until semi recent in the manga.

At different times in my life, Austin has been a springboard, launching me into worlds of personal discovery. Like when I was browsing a hole-in-the-wall bookstore across from UT and found a book called "Sugar Blues" that sent me spinning through the world of nutrition and the natural food movement.
One of the most memorable times was when I came to Austin in 1980 to look for a job. I found one, not in Austin, but through a program at St. Edward's University that sent me out to the "last frontier of Texas"— the Big Bend region. I had dreamed of working in far West Texas while still a student at Texas Tech. Soon I was on the road to St. Mary's School in Marfa, three hours from any large city, with a backseat full of books that I couldn't live without.

Presteigne woman takes on first of 14 for Leominster's Freddie Saunders this weekend
4:10pm Friday 17th January 2014 in News By Jess Phillips
A PRESTEIGNE woman is taking on the first of 14 challenges this weekend to raise funds for a Leominster infant who was seriously injured in a car crash in October.
Louise Price, aged 44, is running a series of races – a mixture of marathons and half marathons – throughout 2014 to raise funds for Freddie's family.
The two-year-old has been receiving treatment at Birmingham Children's Hospital since the crash.
And this Sunday she will be taking on the Essar four villages half marathon in Cheshire.
"I'm really looking forward to my first race of the year. I entered this one last year but it was cancelled due to heavy snowfall. The forecast looks a little better this year," Louise said.
"Training has gone well so far, I am up to 30 miles a week, looking forward to the lighter mornings though. Everyone I know has been very supportive and the fundraising is building nicely."
Louise hopes to raise as much as possible to help Freddie's family pay for his ongoing care.

Photographers to exhibit at the VynnArt Gallery (180)
MEREDITH — Tamworth photographers Mike Porter and Susan Brewer will display their works at the VynnArt Gallery located at 30 Main Street in Meredith, on Saturday, August 24 and Sunday, August 25. A meet the artists reception will be held on Saturday from 2-5 p.m.
The show will include some of their favorite works and will feature several large pieces printed on aluminum that give the photographs wonderful luminosity and an almost three dimensional appearance.
It was photography that brought the pair together. Susan was the owner of a Cafe in Marblehead, MA and showcased local art on the Café walls, changing the work out on a monthly basis. Mike, a captain at the Marblehead Fire Department, had his first show at the Café and he was an inspiration for Susan to get reacquainted with the camera, and better acquainted with him. The couple splits their time between Tamworth and Marblehead and are grateful to call two areas so rich in natural beauty, home.
They have both since won multiple awards for their work. Their photos include enticing images of landscapes and wildlife, shot using High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography as well as more traditional methods.

082213 Exchange Student Hosts (205)
LACONIA — Local families are invited to "Share Your America" with a high school exchange student from one of 70 European, South American, Asian, or African countries during the upcoming school year. Sponsored by PAXProgram of Academic Exchange (PAX), these students arrive to the U.S. in August, over the next two weeks.
PAX students are 15-18 years old, have studied English for at least three years, and are motivated to learn more about the U.S. by attending high school and living with a host family. PAX students are eager to experience American activities—backyard barbecues, birthday celebrations, and holidays with their host families. They are covered by comprehensive medical insurance and have their own spending money for incidentals.
Volunteer host families provide PAX students with a bed, a quiet place to study, a seat at the dining table, a warm and supportive home environment, and encouragement to engage in everyday American life. With their exchange students, host families experience such activities through fresh eyes while also learning about the exchange student's country and culture.
Host family opportunities are available to all types of families. Single parents, young couples, retirees, and parents with teenagers are all welcome to host.
For more information, call Shannon Robinson-Beland at 603-393-5616 or visit www.pax.org.

Another Great Lug Bag!
By Joytee
from Toronto
I bought the chocolate brown, the bag is very light, has two straps, so it's versatile, and clear plastic on the bottom to protect it from wet or salt on floors. Lots of zippered compartments , as well as other pockets and dividers to keep everything organized , even in a fairly big bag. Soft magnets in the flap keep it closed easily, and it's big enough to hold a tablet and everything else you might need for work. Love love love this bag! I'll be getting the Dutch messenger bag in blue next!

A running joke in the Perl 6 world is that we'll release a stable Perl 6.0.0 by Christmas. We just won't tell you which Christmas.
As many community-developed projects have noticed, long blocks of holidays can be very productive for contributors. Both Parrot and Perl 6 on Parrot have made a lot of visible progress in the past couple of weeks.
Jeff Horwitz took over the maintainership of mod_parrot a while back and has steadily made progress. The new news is that he's writing a user's guide. The older news is that mod_parrot supports languages built on top of Parrot, including Perl 6 and Plumhead (PHP on Parrot).
In terms of code, I dusted off some proof of concept code that Jerry Gay and
I wrote several months ago, with advice from Nick Forrette, added one new
feature, and checked it in. The code is pbc_to_exe
and it allows
you to build an executable named perl6
by typing make
(or make perl6.exe
on Windows) once you have the
Parrot source tree configured on your machine.
The initial proof of concept took about two afternoons to write up; I wrote
the first version in Perl 5 and then Jerry and I translated it to PIR (Parrot's
native programming language). Then it sat for a few months, until someone
convinced me that the progress we've made would be much more accessible if we
could provide an executable file named perl6
with the compiler
linked in nicely. It took part of an afternoon to add the last missing piece
and put things in place. (For that, see downloading the Parrot source
code. Until the next stable Parrot release on 15 January, you need to
check out Parrot from source code.)
I'm proud of this little project in a sort of mortified way; it just writes
out a C file that wraps a tiny exectuable header around the PBC file and calls
a couple of functions in libparrot to run that code, much like the
executable does (but without all of the latter's
command-line options). It may be the most useful code I've written in a while
The biggest surprise to me is that, besides myself and Jerry, Francois Perrad, James Keenan, Patrick Michaud, Cosimo Streppone, Will Coleda, Curtis Poe, Bernhard Schmalhofer, Jason Porritt, and Andy Dougherty have all worked on this system in the past week. One small change — one small feature representing perhaps an ideal day's worth of work — inspired so much additional polish and evolution. That's not counting all of the other people who might now download and play with Perl 6 on Parrot. (It gets better too. Allison Randal and some of the other Parrot developers have resurrected the old Debian packages for Parrot, so Debian and derivatives will likely be able to install and run both Parrot and Perl 6 on Parrot after the next release.)
That's not the only interesting thing.
The November and December 2007 Parrot releases were significant because each one added a major new feature. Parrot 0.5.0 introduced the new object system which we believe is capable of supporting all of Perl 6's OO features (and by extension, just about every OO system available in dynamic languages, though there's one design question remaining about the multi-dispatch system in CLOS). Parrot 0.5.1 includes the new Parrot Compiler Tools, which allow you to build compilers using, more or less, Perl 6.
Though most of my work in Parrot is fixing weird bugs and adding new features to the platform itself, it's been fun and a little scary to watch the development of LOLCODE on Parrot. Will Coleda started this on Wednesday, and the project has picked up contributions from Simon Cozens, Jerry Gay, Patrick Michaud, Klaas-Jan Stol, Bernhard Schmalhofer, James Keenan, and Stephen Weeks.
I know that you know that LOLCODE is a joke language, and I know that Simon Cozens is a smart guy who worked on Parrot several years ago and then retired from programming, but he wrote up his experiences in Parrot is really quite wonderful.
Patrick and I gave a talk at OSCON last year about building a Parrot compiler, and I repeatedly said that our goal is to make it possible for you to build a working compiler in an afternoon. You won't build a language as rich and powerful as Perl, Python, or Lua in an afternoon, but we hope to get all of the boilerplate out of the way in the first thirty seconds so you can spend four hours adding just the features you want. (The frosting part of this dessert is that you can bundle up your compiler into a cross-platform C program you can distribute as source code to compile and run on any machine which has libparrot installed.)
I think we're starting to succeed.
The next Parrot New Contributor day is Saturday, 12 January 2008. Please join us in #parrot on irc.perl.org then or anytime.

Amanda was at home and turned on the TV to watch the eleven o'clock news. She heard someone on her porch. Thinking it was her fiancé, she opened the front door. On her porch was a strange man who demanded she let him in the house. When she refused, he pulled out a gun. Amanda, fearful of her life, let him in. Once inside, he searched the house for valuables, took her engagement ring and cash from a drawer. He then left the house

Curtis was drunk when he decided to drive from the bar to his home outside of town. On his way out of town, Curtis flung his lit cigarette butt out the window of his vehicle.

Can Curtis be convicted of arson?
Nicolena hated her next-door neighbor. Plotting to burn down the neighbor's house (so that he would move away), Nicolena planted an explosive device on the wall of the neighbor's home. The plan was that device would explode, and the house would then catch fire and burn down. The device was set off and it did explode. It caused extensive damage, but it did not actually cause anything to catch fire.
Can Nicolena be found guilty of arson?
Is there any other crime for which she could be prosecuted?
Scotland I was 9 years old and had just finished basketball practice at school and my teacher told me. I had no idea what was going on, but remember being overwhelmed both by the coverage it recieved on the news, and by the patriotism and support witnessed among the American citizens. God bless.
I was 8 years old at the time. I do not remember much about what happened that day, and I did not fully understood what happened then, but I remember being with my family at Bellingham Washington. My parents were staring the screen speechless, my mom looked horrified. I was afraid terrorists would come after me. I remember my 10 year old brother saying "calm down. it's not like it is going to happen to us", I guess since we are from Canada. I kind of remember the atmosphere of that era. When my parents were planning to go back to Washington, I would always ask "is it safe to go back"?

Houston, Texas I was at school, in my first grade classroom in Houston Texas. My teacher got a phone call and began to cry, and she went over and turned on the TV. Living in Houston, my mother thought that they would attack the Oil/Gas industry. Here, and she pulled me out of school for 2 days. I remember seeing live stream of the events on the news, and being horrified by the experience.
My brother worked in the WTC.I was at school and all of a sudden I heard a crash but he wasn't working that day.But my other brother was.I was soo scared so I turned on the tv in the library at my school and i called my brother and he was talking and then he hung up and I called my brothers friend and asked him is my brother ok and he said no so I was very very sad!!!:(
My uncle worked in the WTC. Fewwww!!! He didn't work on that day. But some of his friends were in that building. I was just 10 years old. I was walking out of school sick when u saw people crying and police officers and people were hiding behind cars buildings and it saw many other people screaming. I asked my mom what has happend and she said that there was a plane crash into the twin towers. It took me days to understand what was really happening and how it happend. I was scared. My uncle's best friend , joe was in that building but did not survive. My uncle was devistated so was everybody else. Well that's my story!!!! By Catina floe
Texas I was in school. I was in second grade at that time. I remember my mom dropping me off at school and just being there for a little while. A little over an hour my mom was there to pick me up. When we were walking out we have to walk by the library. They had T.Vs on and a lot of the older students were around it. My mom brought me home and called my dad. I live really close to the boarder and were Texan so my dad has a lot of guns. I remember my mom scrambling to get all of our guns and ammo out for my dad when he got home. They told us they might come up from Mexico and we were under attack and to be prepared. I just remember being terrified.
i was 1 year old
Tampa, FL Just as D.T. Chang said, I was in school (a private catholic one) and I was unaware of what was going on until I got home and my family was glued in front of the T.V. screen.

Norristown, PA I was on the bus heading to school when the first plane slammed into the World Trade Center. I had no idea what had happened in New York and Washington during the entire school day. Business was usual and assumed the principal wanted to keep the news away from the students. It wasn't until I got home when I found out about the attacks. My dad met me at the bus stop and he told me the World Trade Center in New York fell down today. I was like "whaaattttttt?????" and I thought it was one tower. He responded no "both towers." I was confused at first because I thought something at that scale is impossible but my dad turned on the TV when I returned home and the rest is history. It took me some time over the next few days to process what had happened
I was 10 years old and in the fifth grade, and I heard nothing about it at school. The first signs that something was up was when I heard some people talking instead of oldies on the radio, on the bus home. I went home, and either I was watching a cartoon and the news report came on from WPIX-TV in New York or the report was on the whole time. Only then was I aware of the terrorist attacks. Things have gotten more real and more serious to me as I got older.
I was at home (work at home) and my exhusband was at work teaching. One of his friends called and asked for him and I told the friend my husband was at work. It was a beautiful, warm sunny day here, just like in NYC. We were planning on going for bike ride when he got home from work. One of his friends called and told me to turn on the tv, the planes had hit the WTC. By that time, both towers were on fire and I thought, Oh wow, I hope everyone got out. I thought how bizarre it was, the towers burning against the brilliant blue sky. I remember how quiet it seemed when air traffic stopped, because there are always planes flying over. We're not too far from the airport. It just seemed like the world had stopped, it was so quiet.

I was in 1st grade in Guatemala. I remember a teacher coming in to deliver the news to my teacher (who was American).
Washington State I was 12 and in Washington State at the time. I remember my parents were just starting to get up and get ready to go to work. My Dad started yelling "we're under attack!" My parents decided to have me stay home from school that day. Growing up in WA State, and never having been to the East Coast I didn't know too much about the World Trade Center. That day I became more aware of the world.
I worked in the twin towers for many years and I remember that morning like it was yesterday. I had woken up early to prepare all my files and papers for a meeting there at noon that same day. I remember waking up my two children at what must have been around 7am and getting them ready for the day. I also seem to remember my high school teacher husband leaving later than usual that morning which must have been around 8am. Around that same time, I left the house to drop my eldest son, then 6, off to school and then I took my youngest, then 3, off to her nursery. I was about 7 months pregnant at the time and I remember rushing to make my hospital appointment. I had had several problems with my last child during pregnancy and was taking no chances. I was sceduled for an ultrasound and some other tests at around 9:30am. The appointment should only have lasted an hour or so, allowing me to get to my meeting in the north tower at
Ireland At school. I was 10 at the time and all I remember is my mother phoning my grandparents as they were in Los Angeles at the time and understandably my mother was fearing the worst
I was 6 years old and at school
England I was in school, and my music teacher had left half way through class. It turned out her husband was in one of the towers. We all got called into the main hall because many teachers had left to call loved ones in new york, so we watched the news on the tv. I didn't really understand and I remember my brother trying to explain what was happening but I just wanted school to let us go home.
Atlanta, GA I lived in Mexico back then, I was 5 years old and I was getting ready for school I was sitting in the bed waiting for my dad to get ready and take me to school, then my mom turned on the TV and I saw the north tower wrapped in black smoke and my dad came out and said ok let's go and when we were on our way to school in the radio they said that a second plane had crashed into the south tower. What I remember the most is when I get home from school everyone was just quiet they were watching the news and I saw the repetition of how the twin towers collapsed, it was so sad, even if back then I didn't even understand what was going on I knew that it had to be something bad. Now I'm 17 and I get it and I feel really upset about it.

I wasn't actually born yet. My mom was about 8 months pregnant with me. My cousin had recently been born, mad her parents (my aunt and uncle) lived far away. My grandmom had gone out to stay with them for a few days. 9/11 was the day my mom was supposed to go to pick my grandmom up from my aunt and uncle's house. My mom was seeing just things shot from cameras and cellphone on the news. She didn't know whether or not she should go to pick up my grandmom. She didn't know what was happening or if it was safe. She called my dad, who she discovered was letting his people go home. In the end, she decided to just go. She took my brother along, who was about 2 at the time. She told me, as she drove along 95, there was no one on the road. A huge interstate highway, and she only passed one car. All this time, she had no clue what was going on. I'm not sure what happened after that. I'm 11 years old, btw.

In my computer I have a folder headed Adobe Web Photo Gallery with three pages of thumbnail images.
Can someone tell me what program created this? I have Photoshop Elements and also Elements 3.0, but can't see this program included.
I have done a google search and also looked at the Adobe website, but can't find it for looking! Apart from 'Elements', it would have been made with a free program, not something which I bought.
Many thanks.

I use Photoshop 6 and I can create the web gallery you mention by going to Photoshop > File > Automate > Web Photo Gallery. One of your Adobe products probably has that option also.

Many thanks, Maj. I have found it in PS Elements but, oddly enough, I can't find it in PS Elements 3.
One further question - do you know how to add a label under each picture (as opposed to the file name)? The help file says that one can put a caption under the picture from the file information by selecting that box. I have tried going back to the original folder and adding a title in the file information, but it doesn't seem to work. So how do I add 'file information'?

Bear in mind, sheila.weston, that I'm not using the same software as you, but in PS6 it's all done when you're creating the photo gallery, there is an option to use a "Caption", what you call "a label under each picture", rather than the file name.
There are two dropdown menus:
1. Styles
2. Options
From the Options menu, choose the "Gallery Thumbnails" option. Then tick the "Use File Info Caption". You can also set the Font, Font size, etc. in there. Here's a screen shot. click here
You will have already entered the text, on the full size images info, that you want to appear as your caption before doing the above. Like this click here

RAWALPINDI/ISLAMABAD, Jan 13: As Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran (TMQ)'s long march on Islamabad started from Lahore on Sunday, the Rawalpindi police sealed the city by blocking all its entry points at the G.T Road.
The long march led by TMQ chief Dr Tahirul Qadri is proceeding to the federal capital on G.T. Road while small rallies coming from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and different cities of Punjab like Taxila and Attock will be using Peshawar Road to join it in Islamabad.
A senior police officer in Rawalpindi told Dawn that 10,000 personnel would be deployed in the city on Monday. He said security level in the city had been put on 'red alert'.
"This level of security indicates a severe threat for which the emergency counterterrorism measures are put in place by law enforcement agencies," he added.
A special team comprising explosive detectors and sniffing dogs will conduct a sweep and search drive on the route of the long march and camps set up by the TMQ to ensure their safety.
The special branch sent an "assessment report" to the district police intimating threats of a terror attack on Dr Qadri and asked the police to take extra security measures for the safe passage of the participants of the march.
Police have set up checkposts and blocked Rawalpindi city's entry points and link roads by heavy containers and barbed wires.
However, the deployment of the police will be completed on Monday morning.
The reserve police personnel called from the Punjab Constabulary, Police Training School and Sihala Police College have joined the Rawalpindi police to assist them in maintaining peace in the city.
As many as 40 containers have been placed at Mehrabad and Misrial on Peshawar Road; T. Chowk in Rawat, Kahuta Road, Kural Chowk and Naseerabad on G.T. Road.
"It is part of the contingency plan in case the Islamabad administration stops the marchers from entering the capital city," said Saqib Zafar, the district coordination officer (DCO) of Rawalpindi.
Commissioner Imdadullah Bosal told Dawn that the district administrations of Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal and Jhelum had been directed to make arrangements for the protection of life and property in their respective areas.
When contacted, Israr Ahmed Abbasi, the senior superintendent of police (operation), said a comprehensive security plan had been chalked out to ward off the long march. He said the participants of the rally would not be allowed to enter the city.
"Police checkpoints have been set up at all entry points while 2,000 police personnel have been deployed at Gujar Khan where Dr Qadri is to address the participants of the long march," the SSP said.
He said the police would seal all the entry points of the city from G.T. and Peshawar roads. "Neither any vehicle nor any person will be allowed to enter the city as all the link roads will be blocked."
He said TMQ representatives at a meeting had assured the police that the long march participants would not enter Rawalpindi and would use Islamabad Highway from T.Chowk at Rawat to proceed to the federal capital instead of entering the garrison city via the G.T. Road.
The SSP added that the police had also been assured that no procession would be held in the city and the TMQ workers and activists would join the main rally in Islamabad in small groups.
When asked if the Islamabad police stopped the rally from entering the capital at T. Chowk in Rawat, how the Pindi police would handle the situation, the SSP said: "First we will try to negotiate with them and then would consider other options." He, however, did not elaborate the 'other options'.
Meanwhile, the city traffic police have prepared a traffic plan on the occasion. According to Syed Ishtiaq Hussain Shah, the city traffic officer, Choor Chowk, Mehrabad, Dhoke Lulial, Dhoke Syedan, Misryal Road, Kalma Chowk, Katchery Chowk, Gulzar- i-Quaid, Chohan Chowk, Khanna Road, Lulial Road, Soan-Kahuta Road, T. Chowk, Faizabad and KRL Road would remain closed on Monday.
He said Dhoke Kala Khan, 9th Avenue, Carriage Factory, Khayban-i-Sir Syed, Lahore Mor, Pindora, New Katarian and Khawaja Corporation Chowk would also be closed for all kinds of traffic.
Islamabad police uncertain
The Islamabad police seem uncertain and unclear about how to deal with the participants of the long march when they reach the capital city on Monday.
On the one hand, the police are preparing to provide security to the participants of the march and on the other they are planning to stop them from entering the city.
It has also been learnt that after negotiations with Tehrik-i-Minhajul Quran (TMQ), the government has decided to allow the participants to stage a sit-in at Jinnah Avenue near Saudi Pak Tower.
A senior police officer requesting not to be identified told Dawn that they were double minded because of the statements of Interior Minister Rehman Malik.
"Two days back, the minister was saying that the residents and traders of Islamabad had requested him not to allow the participants of the march to enter the capital city because it would affect their routine life and business," he said.
"We confiscated containers to block the G.T. Road at different points to stop the participants from entering the capital," he said.
However, on Sunday the minister said the participants would be allowed to enter Islamabad and Blue Area had been cleared for them.
Ghulam Ali Khan, the media coordinator for the TMQ, while talking to Dawn said the ministry of interior had conveyed to them a message that a stage can be built near Saudi Pak Tower for the participants of the march.
"A mobile stage is ready and it will be fixed on the notice of one hour. Participants of the march are coming along with mattresses, blankets, stoves and they will prepare food for themselves on the spot."

Get A Hotel Upgrade By Emailing The Manager Directly
It's always worth asking for a hotel upgrade. If you feel shy about asking at the front desk or calling the hotel ahead of time, a simple email to the right person can do the trick.
Ask In Advance To Have Hotel Safe And Parking Fees Taken Off Your Bill
Staying in a hotel comes with its own array of fees, some of which are tacked on with no thought to whether or not you're actually using the services being charged. Ask the front desk a couple of questions as soon as you check in to make sure you're not charged for services you won't use, such as an in-room safe or hotel parking.
Confessions Of A Hotel Insider
I've worked in hotels for more than a decade. I've checked you in, checked you out, oriented you to the property, served you a drink, separated your white panties from the white bed sheets, parked your car, tasted your room service, cleaned your toilet, denied you a late checkout, given you a wake-up call, eaten M&M's out of your minibar, laughed at your jokes and taken your money.
Avoid Hotel Cancellation Fees By Changing Your Stay Dates
Most hotels will charge you a fee if you cancel your room booking less than 24 hours before you're supposed to check in. Ideally, that shouldn't be a problem — if you're not going to make a trip or holiday, you'll usually know it ahead of time. However, if your flight is cancelled, re-routed or there's another emergency, Redditor drwired has the solution: don't cancel the room, push your arrival time out by a few days, and then cancel it, once you're safely more than 24 hours from your check-in date.

yes you can coop, but with an id on the body element (which your PHP script can put there for you if you like ;)) you can control templates in more ways that just highlighting the active link. so yes if that's all you want to do a php snippet is likely best as far as code bloat is concerned I tend to use a similar PHP script that places a body ID on every page as I'm more comfortable with the CSS parts, but then once that body ID is in place I can get on with the functionality and do the styling later. For example I did a site a few years back which wanted different background images depending on which "section" you were in as well as the highlighted link, now that's not something that most scripters would think about when building a template.. but if they did the designers would gain control if the body ID was there at the start. changing an image is a design aesthetic after all isn't it? I'm building another drupal template/theme for a client just now (which if you saw you would cringe). I just know that I need to get it working so the client/staff can use it, but I'm also their designer ;) and I do know that drop down/highlighted menus are one of their requirements later ... so I've built in the body ID as I don't know how many levels of drops are there nor what the urls will be yet. I also know that each section of the site looks different either 2 cols or 3 depending on which bit you happen to be reading, I can do that with CSS using the body class, I also know that they are likely going to want a different header image per section, I can also do that of that using the body ID. Now I'm pretty sure that all this can be done via PHP too but when I get to tweaking the design elements of the site should I be tweaking PHP or CSS? this so conflicts with what I've said for years, not so much for active link highlighting perhaps, but to my mind as soon as you have to go back to a site programmer to add a design functionality element it wasn't done properly in the first place.. so add in the basic CSS ID hook at the beginning :) -Suzy
In still use that method too Edward :) You can really cut back the CSS code bloat by not having an id on every <body> element.

Senior Correspondent Mike Causey wants to know: If I chopped a couple of bucks off each of the future cost-of-living adjustments made to your federal retirement or Social Security benefits would you even notice? Or, would you pick up the fact that over time that is a lot of money that you will never see.

This year we were supposed to only get about 0.5% and they cut even that. They "adjust" the calculation and it would only matter for retirees because they are the only ones that get a full COLA. The rest of us have to live with whatever arbitrary number Congress picks out of thin air, again. I would be all for this new calculation if I thought for a minute we would actually get it every year.38308{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Study: Former PA Leader Arafat Likely Poisoned by Polonium
Wife Calls for Exhumation of Body
Former Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat's death has long been considered suspicious, but his widow is calling for his body to be exhumed tonight following the revelation that new tests showed he may have been poisoned with radioactive polonium.
The tests taken on his personal effects by the Institut de Radiophysique in Lausanne, Switzerland says they found "surprisingly high" levels of polonium-210 in his belongings. The institute said this wasn't conclusive without testing his body, and medical reports would not be consistent with the poisoning claim.
Arafat's health precipitously declined in late 2004 with no apparently explanation, coming just months after then-Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said he no longer felt bound by his promise not to assassinate Arafat. At the time there was no cause of death, but doctors said they didn't find any known poisons.
Some of Arafat's supporters and family members have speculated he was killed by the US, or Israel, or both. In 2009 the Fatah Party's Congress also declared Israel responsible for the death, which sparked a series of threats from Israeli officials and declarations that the peace process was over.
In 2011, Fahmi Shabana, a member of Palestinian intelligence who has involved in the investigation of Arafat's death, had explicitly claimed he was poisoned with polonium by his political rivals.
