In the interview that the first post in this thread links to, MC acknowledges the scraper issue that is apparently being worked on.
That sounds like it wasn't deliberate, or machine learning, or testing, but a giant bug with the algo.
Also, "But there's this mass perception outside the search industry that there's too much low quality stuff polluting the search results. Panda was designed to address that."
Here's how I put it all together, feel free to do so with your own spin.
"We've launched a super algo update called Panda to stop the bad press we've been getting about search quality, but scrapers will outrank you in the serps."
I don't really see anything in the interview that explains why sites haven't come back from Panda after making changes either.
It seems like it took a while for the big G to admit there is an issue with the scrapers in the serps.
Reality check: Google is in it to make money, not feed the world. Does that make them good or evil?
Only YOU can decide.

http://steamcommunity.com /sharedfiles/filedetails/
UPDATE 3: ir/rational has made the front page with 45,000 plays in under a week! Thank you everyone - and keep your eyes peeled for announcements in the coming months!
UPDATE 2: Walkthrough available here: http://blog.tomjubert.com /2012/07/irrational-walkt hrough.html
UPDATE 1: Made 10,000 views and the Popular Games list in 24 hours! Thanks to everyone who's played!
Argue the toss in a twisted tale of logic...
In ir/rational you complete, create and discredit arguments by selecting propositions and filling in the blanks. It's a puzzle game based on propositional logic, and a graphic adventure all in one - only here you don't so much need to escape the room as prove why you'd even want to.
- Unique, language-based argument system: formulate logical proofs to progress through the game
- Dark philosophical comedy by Tom Jubert, writer of Penumbra, Driver: San Francisco and FTL.
- 10 screens and roughly half an hour of intelligent, challenging and inventive gameplay
- Musical score by award-winning composer Mikko Tarmia
My website: www.tomjubert.com
My narrative design blog, Plot is Gameplay's Bitch: blog.tomjubert.com
- Click to progress story
- Complete the arguments by selecting options from the drop-down menus
NB Some systems don't display all the dropdown options at once, and you have to use the arrow keys to scroll.
If you can't see the right answer, chances are you can resolve the problem with the arrow keys. Hope it's not dampened your enthusiasm!
I really enjoyed this game a lot. However, I must admit I was not the most fond of the ending. One of the best parts of this game for me was that the puzzles felt natural and engaging. They were neither so difficult as to be subject to trial and error, nor were they so easy that at any point I became bored.
A personal note- last year I took a critical thinking course at a local community college. Throughout this game I was constantly reminded of it, and I was glad to see critical thinking mentioned in the after-game splash screens.
Thanks everyone for all your compliments and feedback. I'd love to get a proper programmer onboard and do more with the gameplay concept.
How well it does here will tip the balance on that, but it's edging towards the front page of 'most viewed this week' after just 8 hours, so things are looking positive :-)
loved it
the only problem is that when i used the arrow keys it changed ALL of my answers sometimes (Google Chrome)
Oh my God.
I FINALLY finished it.
My head actually hurts a little bit.
I Loved It!!
I'm going to give this a five star rating because it was challenging yet not annoying, At the beginnig of the game I thought I wasn't going to be able of finishing it due to english is not my mother tongue, even though I have a good level. but I found it really fun and entertainig Congratulations!

As soon as I found out I was pregnant, I was on online ordering pregnancy books. There are so many to choose from! I bought a few of them, and one of my musts was "What to Expect When You're Expecting". I think it's the one pregnancy book that everyone knows about! Heck… they even named a movie after it.
Thanks to the amazing folks at What To Expect, I am giving away "What to Expect Before Your Expecting", "What to Expect When You're Expecting", and "What To Expect The First Year" to one lucky reader! Even if you don't need one of these books, they make great gifts!
"What to Expect Before Your Expecting" is a great book for couples who are trying to conceive. It contains info about what type of foods to eat and avoid, different types of fertility treatments and MUCH more!
"What to Expect When You're Expecting" is the book I have read so far. It really is a huge wealth of information. It covers lots of topics from pregnancy nutrition to week by week pregnancy guides. I also love the q&a format that's throughout the book. It's the most read pregnancy book and I definitely understand why.
"What To Expect The First Year" provides a weekly/monthly chronology of what to expect (hence the name!) and the answers to just about any question, concern, or fear you can possibly think of. You can research vitamins and vaccines, leg cramps, causes of colic, sleep problems, SIDS, sibling issues, weaning, and sippy cups among other things.

US 20060084313 A1 Abstract A networking cable connects and disconnects with an information handling system port through activation of a push-push latch. A first push of the cable's connector, such as a RJ-45 connector, into a port engages the push-push latch to secure the cable in the port. A second push of the cable's connector into the port releases the push-push latch to allow removal of the cable from the port. A cable connector having a clip avoids engagement of the clip with the port by openings of the port and latch that are aligned with the clip. A biasing mechanism provides a biasing force against the cable connector to aid in removal of the cable from the port.

Description 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates in general to the field of information handling system cable connections, and more particularly to a system and method for push-push connection of clipped cables to an information handling system. 2. Description of the Related Art As the value and use of information continues to increase, individuals and businesses seek additional ways to process and store information. One option available to users is information handling systems. An information handling system generally processes, compiles, stores, and/or communicates information or data for business, personal, or other purposes thereby allowing users to take advantage of the value of the information. Because technology and information handling needs and requirements vary between different users or applications, information handling systems may also vary regarding what information is handled, how the information is handled, how much information is processed, stored, or communicated, and how quickly and efficiently the information may be processed, stored, or communicated. The variations in information handling systems allow for information handling systems to be general or configured for a specific user or specific use such as financial transaction processing, airline reservations, enterprise data storage, or global communications. In addition, information handling systems may include a variety of hardware and software components that may be configured to process, store, and communicate information and may include one or more computer systems, data storage systems, and networking systems. Information handling systems often interact with a number of peripherals to communicate, print or otherwise process information. For instance, server information handling systems typically communicate with client information handling systems using Ethernet communicated over Cat 5 cables. A typical network cluster has one or more of server information handling systems, switches and routers interconnected with each other and with client information handling systems by a plurality of Cat 5 cables. Generally, network clusters are installed in a restricted space so that information handling system manufacturers design and build hardware having as small of a footprint as possible. For instance, industry standards define the proportions allowed for �1U� server information handling systems to include limited height. Generally the Cat 5 cables connect to the exposed front of the server information handling system to reduce the amount of maneuvering that information technology administrators face when connecting or disconnecting cables. Cat 5 cables typically terminate with a standardized RJ45 connector that attaches to a port with an elastic clip. When the RJ45 connector is pushed into a port, the clip is depressed by the insertion force and, after complete insertion, is released to engage the port, thus locking the connector in place. To release an RJ45 connector, the clip is manually depressed and the connector is pulled from the port. Although clipped cable connectors, such as the RJ45 connector, are ubiquitous in the information technology and telecommunications industries, a number of problems often arise with their use. One difficulty is that the clips tend to be difficult to manipulate when removing the connectors from ports in low form-factor high-density systems, such as server information handling systems. For instance, an information technology administrator often has difficulty grasping a clip when multiple connectors are presented in a limited space. When a large number of cables are being disconnected, the repeated manipulation of the clips is tiresome and time consuming. Failure to adequately depress a clip while attempting to extract a cable from a port may cause damage to the cable, the connector or the port. Another difficulty is that the clips extend out from the connector and sometimes snag on objects, making the routing of cables more difficult when trying to pull the cable through cable trays or by other cables. If a clip breaks, the connector becomes essentially useless since the cable will not secure in a port. Replacement of cables and connectors due to a broken clip delays installation and maintenance, in some instances knocking an entire network cluster out of operation for extended periods. Therefore a need has arisen for a system and method which securely connects a networking cable to an information handling system without a connector clip. In accordance with the present invention, a system and method are provided which substantially reduce the disadvantages and problems associated with previous methods and systems for connecting networking cables to information handling systems. A networking cable secures to an information handling system port with a first push of the cable connector into the port, and is released from the port with a second push of the cable connector into the port. Cable connector clips align with an opening of the port to avoid clip coupling, thus allowing release of clipped connectors without manipulation of the clip. More specifically, a latching mechanism disposed in the port biases to an open position sized to accept a cable connector, such as an RJ-45 connector terminating a Cat 5 cable. Resilient opposing sidewalls couple to a rear wall and move proximate to a leveraging mechanism. Pushing of the cable connector against the rear walls overcomes a biasing mechanism to move the rear wall and the sidewalls relative to the leveraging mechanism. The leveraging mechanism leverages the sidewalls towards each other so that a latching surface extending from one or more of the sidewalls into the port engages the cable connector. A push-push lock coupled to the latching mechanism engages on a first push so that the latching surface remains engaged with the connector. The push-push lock disengages on a second push to release the latching mechanism so that the biasing mechanism bias the latching mechanism and connector out of the port, thus disengaging the latching surface from the connector to allow removal of the connector from the port. The present invention provides a number of important technical advantages. One example of an important technical advantage is that network cables connect and disconnect from an information handling system without the use of a cable clip. Secure cable connections are provided whether or not a cable connector has a clip so that a broken clip will not disable a cable. Quick cable release with a pushing motion instead of a clip actuation reduces the manual manipulation associated with cable disconnection. Thus, information technology staff are able to more easily remove cables in a restricted space for more rapid installation and maintenance of information handling systems. The present invention may be better understood, and its numerous objects, features and advantages made apparent to those skilled in the art by referencing the accompanying drawings. The use of the same reference number throughout the several figures designates a like or similar element. Coupling networking cables to an information handling system with a push-push latch reduces the time and space used during removal of the cables from the information handling system. For purposes of this disclosure, an information handling system may include any instrumentality or aggregate of instrumentalities operable to compute, classify, process, transmit, receive, retrieve, originate, switch, store, display, manifest, detect, record, reproduce, handle, or utilize any form of information, intelligence, or data for business, scientific, control, or other purposes. For example, an information handling system may be a personal computer, a network storage device, or any other suitable device and may vary in size, shape, performance, functionality, and price. The information handling system may include random access memory (RAM), one or more processing resources such as a central processing unit (CPU) or hardware or software control logic, ROM, and/or other types of nonvolatile memory. Additional components of the information handling system may include one or more disk drives, one or more network ports for communicating with external devices as well as various input and output (I/O) devices, such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a video display. The information handling system may also include one or more buses operable to transmit communications between the various hardware components. Referring now to Referring now to As a connector 16 presses against rear wall 30 of latching mechanism 26, the force of the push of connector 16 translates through rear wall 30 to pull resilient sidewalls 28 towards the rear of port 24. As resilient sidewalls 28 move in conjunction with rear wall 30 towards the back of port 24, leveraging mechanism 32 pushes resilient sidewalls 28 toward each other so that latching surface 36 engages connector 16 to secure connector 16 within port 24. A push-push lock 38 automatically locks latching mechanism in position at the back of port 24 so that latching surface 36 secures connector 16 in port 24 after a first push of connector 16 into port 24. A subsequent push against connector 16 into rear wall 30 releases push-push lock 38 so that biasing mechanism 34 pushes latching mechanism 26 forward in port 24. As latching mechanism 26 moves forward, leveraging mechanism 32 increases the distance between resilient sidewalls 28 to release connector 16 from latching surfaces 36. Referring now to Referring now to Although the present invention has been described in detail, it should be understood that various changes, substitutions and alterations can be made hereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.

Think again if you are going to visit in a motor home, as there are only a few places to fill up your water tank. When we filled up we had to block an access road which of course is not popular. Each time you wish to refill your tank you will have to move your Motor Home to the tap - very inconvenient!

Having just come back from 7 days in a Super Deluxe Caravan I can safely say I would not return to the site again. The caravan itself was lovely, spacious, clean and could not fault it. I do think people need to be made more aware of the dangers of the beach. The sea is hazerdous, the waves crash into the beach and being shingle, it takes your feet aware.

NEVER AGAIN. We had a family camping holiday at this park in August last year. Site far too over crowded, loads of sloping pitches, numerous rowdy late disturbed nights (no staff checking the polite rules are being observed so everyone can enjoy their stay!). The "private beach" is private due to it being unusable/dangerous, massive waves with deep drop-off making it a no-swim zone! Trying to end on a good note, the toilet blocks and shop were good. Although, dreaded going back to camp each... (read more)

Just returned from a one night stay at Freshwater Beach Holiday Park in Dorset. Great facilities but overpriced for an out of season overnight at £24.00 and we were less than enthusiastic about the attitude of the staff member we spoke to on the morning of departure who was, frankly, rude out of all proportion to the situation she was dealing with. We had arrived at 6pm the night before in a motorhome and explained that we only wanted one night and would like a quiet pitch if possible. As... (read more)

We spent a week at Freshwater Holiday Park from 14th to 21st August and plan to return, great site, showers and toilets are excellent, 3 blocks to choose from they were clean and spotless as was the whole site. This was a great base to go exploring, close to Weymouth, Lyme Regs, Lulworth and Durdle Dor, Swanage and even Yeovilton, witin waliking distance via cliff tops or across the beach to West Bay. Lovely private beach within 5 minutes walk and great pub about 15 minutes up the road in... (read more)

I have just come back from my second two week stint at Freshwater and I have enjoyed every minute of it! The camp is clean and tidy and the toilet/washing facilities are second to none. The club house is a little dated but the staff are always friendly and helpful but the evening entertainment is straight out of the 1970's so if you like things a little more modern this won't be for you. However, the under twelves in our party absolutely loved the kids entertainment and 'Flopper' will live... (read more)

The toilets are clean, the park is VERY crowded. The beach is unusable, a massive shingle bank keeps the water from the sea flooding the camp and its all shingle with fierce menacing waves. We got soaked having to wash up the dishes outside or alternatively get soaked on the trek to an under cover washing up area. The dog walking field had horses and donkeys in it and there were stiles to get out of the camp to other walks which made it very difficult for large dogs and people who werent... (read more)

This was quite simply the worst holiday park we have ever visited. The bar was highly overpriced, the staff were poorly trained and the quality of service was generally inadequate. The kids club was awful, the pool was overcrowded, and when me and my wife ordered food from the restaurant we were kept waiting for 1.5 hours!
On the plus side the area was full of things to see and do, but I would greatly advise a different park

We stayed at Freshwater for 4 nights over Bank Holiday weekend. The staff were friendly and helpful.

The site was well organised but the road way and size of pitches made it difficult for some caravans to get onto their plot and indeed to leave the site. The road ways need to be wider and the plots could do with being larger, in fact there was a huge difference in pitch sizes depending on where you were. The site was rather too large for my liking but the thing that really spoilt it for me was the amount of dog dirt left lying around the site by some dog owners. Whilst most of the dog... (read more)

Other sites operate a strict noise at night policy, this site would be perfect if they did the same. There were strict rules regarding dogs which I have no doubt would be enforced, surely the same should apply to the noise nuisance especially as the site does seem to attract families with young children who would not appreciate listening to drunken youths shouting loudly. Security should patrol the tented areas to remind the rowdy campers to keep the noise down. (read more)

I would recommend Freshwater for families, fishermen, and anyone just wanting a good old fashioned holiday. Their caravans are clean, welcome packs of tea/coffee/cleaning materials a good idea. Bed linen nicely presented. It's not noisy and the staff are friendly. The children loved looking for fossils and we walked to West Bay along the beach and over the cliff top; a delightful harbour that, although newly renovated, retains its old charm, and the kids loved crab lining there.

Simple window covering with roller shades brings light into a small roomJul 7 2011 White decor creates a sense of spaciousness in a room. According to Better Homes and Gardens, white creates a sense of spaciousness because it reflects from various light sources around a room. Taking advantage of natural light by limiting window treatments in a small room to window blinds or shades only is one way to maximize the light entering a room. Roller shades are always a good choice in a white palette because when they are matched to the walls they convey the impression of an unbroken surface. They also combine well with other treatments. The magazine states that some white tones are more effective when paired with a certain type of décor. For instance, a bright white coordinates well with modern décor that may include charcoal gray, silver and black. Off-white is more traditional and pairs well with many shades of blue, sage green or dusty rose. Antique white is similar to off-white, but has a slight yellow undertone which allows it to work best against hardwood furniture and kitchen cabinetry. Related Products

Telestar's Sweet Confession to their Moms! |
Friday, 07 May 2010 13:29 | |
Some one had said it true that GOD cannot be everywhere and thus he made mother. She is the one who always cares for you but unknowingly we do some stupid deeds to escape mom's scolding or hiding something from her. In our childhood, we always try to hide those things, but today we laugh out on those little antics and excuses which we make. But, its time to confess now, as TellyCafe had asked some of those naughtiest telestars about their stupid deeds and lying! My mom is very conscious about my diet and health and she will call me a minimum 12 times day for asking me about my lunch, breakfast and dinner and I sometimes lie her that I've had my lunch where, in fact, I am actually hungry and not had my food at all. And instead of that I say that I had yummy lunch and go to the extent of naming a few delicacies!

"It would be huge," senior defensive end A.J. Francis said. "I've never got a tombstone before. It would be great to beat a team we never beat, a rival, a team that doesn't like us and we don't like them."
Maryland's struggle against WVU extends beyond the players. Coach Randy Edsall is 1-7 against the Mountaineers, including 1-6 as head coach at UConn, but he hopes the team can draw encouragement from last year's narrow defeat.
"You always take a look at history and try to use it to your advantage," Edsall said. "During the week, coaches will show certain things from last year. We know that we came close and came up a little bit short. But that's something that we need to draw on. We need to minimize the mistakes. It has got to be a team thing."
The Terps will need bring a pack mentality to Morgantown, where the visiting team can expect absolutely no hospitality.
"The last time I was up there, somebody's grandmother spit on me," Francis said.
Gilbert said, "You go into most stadiums, and the student section is the loudest part. At West Virginia, pretty much the whole stadium sounds like the student section. They're pretty rowdy. That's something we're going to put an emphasis on this week, getting the offense ready for the crowd noise."
The pressure will be on Maryland true freshman quarterback Perry Hills, whose only road game thus far, against Temple in a half-full stadium, could not have prepared him for the zaniness of playing in Morgantown.
"The one thing that we have to do is really prepare our guys for the noise and the hostility that those fans have for their Mountaineers," Edsall said.
Despite that, Dorsey is looking forward his final trip to West Virginia.
"I like the atmosphere. The energy," he said. "The crowd is screaming, and even though they're against you, it's the true essence of college football."

Appeals Court Halts New York's Move To Ban Big, Sugary Sodasfrom Eyewitness News Online Reported by: Jeff Morris Web Producer: Jeff Morris Also Contributing: ABC News Reported: Jul. 30, 2013 1:44 PM EDT
New York New York City's crackdown on big, sugary sodas is staying on ice.
ABC News reported that a mid-level state appeals court ruled Tuesday that the city's Board of Health exceeded its legal authority when it voted last year to put a size limit on soft drinks served in restaurants, theaters, stadiums, sidewalk food carts and many other places. The ban, which would have stopped the sale of many high-calorie beverages in containers bigger than 16 ounces, had been lauded by some health experts as an overdue attack on one of the primary contributors to a national obesity epidemic. But in a unanimous opinion, the four-judge panel of the state Supreme Court Appellate Division said that the health board was acting too much like a legislature when it created the limit. It said parts of the new rules were clearly political or economic considerations, rather than health concerns. The judges wrote that while the board had the power to ban "inherently harmful" foodstuffs from being served to the public, sweetened beverages didn't fall into that category. Since soda consumption is not necessarily harmful when done in moderation, it "cannot be classified as a health hazard per se," the court wrote. Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the driving force behind the regulation, promised a quick appeal. "Today's decision is a temporary setback, and we plan to appeal this decision as we continue the fight against the obesity epidemic," he said in a statement. The American Beverage Association, which had been among the groups challenging the rule, applauded the court ruling, which was the second to find that the Board of Health had overstepped its authority. A similar lower court ruling in March kept the regulation from taking effect. "With this ruling behind us, we look forward to collaborating with city leaders on solutions that will have a meaningful and lasting impact on the people of New York City," said Beverage Association spokesman Christopher Gindlesperger. New York's effort to cap soda portions has drawn national attention, including from diet companies lauding it as a groundbreaking step in America's war on extra weight and late-night TV hosts ribbing Bloomberg as a nutrition nanny. The drinks limit follows other Bloomberg efforts to nudge New Yorkers into better diets. His administration has forced chain restaurants to post calorie counts on menus, barred artificial trans fats from restaurant fare and challenged food manufacturers to use less salt. Bloomberg and city Health Commissioner Thomas Farley saw soft drinks as a sensible next front in a necessary fight: reining in an obesity rate that rose from 18 to 24 percent of adults in the city within a decade. Studies have tied heavy consumption of sugary drinks to weight gain. "We have a responsibility, as human beings, to do something, to save each other. So while other people will wring their hands over the problem of sugary drinks, in New York City, we're doing something about it," Bloomberg said at a news conference after the measure was struck down in March. Critics said the city went too far in imposing a serving size limit. "For the first time, this agency is telling the public how much of a safe and lawful beverage it can drink," Richard Bress, a lawyer for the coalition of groups that challenged the regulation, told the appeals court at a hearing in June.

Clean Boating Colorado brochure
Pledge & Enrollment Statement
Emergency Procedures and HazMat
Boater Education
Clean Marinas Colorado is a voluntary recognition program that targets marinas, boatyards and individual boaters - providing education and outreach activities that help maintain or restore water quality in Colorado's major waterways. The overall environmental goal of the program is to document water quality improvement where people enjoy boating.
What is the Clean Marina Initiative? The Clean Marina Initiative is a voluntary, incentive-based program promoted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and others that encourages marina operators and recreational boaters to protect [boating] water quality by engaging in environmentally sound operating and maintenance procedures. While Clean Marina Programs vary from state to state, all programs offer information, guidance, and technical assistance to marina operators, local governments, and recreational boaters on Best Management Practices (BMPs) that can be used to prevent or reduce pollution. Marinas that participate in the Clean Marina Program are recognized for their environmental stewardship.
Why is the Clean Marina Initiative Important? Clean Marina programs help reduce pollution to our [boating] waters by encouraging environmentally-friendly marina and boating practices. Marinas and recreational boating are increasingly popular uses of [inland lakes and] coastal areas. The U.S. Coast Guard reported more than 17 million registered recreational boats in 2004. Because marinas are located right along the water's edge, pollutants created by marina activities are released directly into the water. Although not one of the leading sources of polluted runoff, pollution from marinas can have a significant impact on local water quality. Therefore, is it important to promote operation and maintenance practices that will prevent pollution from entering [our] waterways.
Benefits of a Clean Marina Program A Clean Marina Program offers many benefits to marina operators and coastal areas participating in the program.
Benefits for Marinas Operators and Owners
Reduce waste disposal costs. The Best Management Practices (BMPs) will reduce the amount of wastes produced so disposal costs will be less.
Generate new sources of revenue. Studies have shown that Clean Marinas can charge slightly higher slip fees and have fewer vacancies.
Receive free technical assistance. Best Management Practices guidebooks, training workshops and on-site visits are available to marina operators. Often states will even offer on-site assistance for meeting regulatory requirements.
Reduce legal liabilities. By participating in the Clean Marina Program, marinas can ensure they are meeting all regulatory requirements, thus avoiding fines.
Enjoy free publicity. States recognize Clean Marinas through press releases, newsletters, and boating guides, etc.
Attract knowledgeable customers. Clean Marinas are aesthetically pleasing facilities that can attract responsible clientele that will follow good boating practices
Improve water quality and habitat for living resources. The marina and boating industry depends on clean waters and a healthy coastal environment for their continued success.
Demonstrate marina is a good steward of the environment. Many states distribute special burgees and signs for Clean Marinas to display. Clean Marinas are also allowed to use the State's Clean Marina logo on all letterhead.
Benefits for State Coastal Managers and Others Interested in Starting Clean Marina Programs
Educate boaters. The Clean Marina Program is an excellent way to reach out to recreational boaters and demonstrate how they can alter their own practices to minimize impacts on the marine environment.
Satisfy the requirements of the State Coastal Nonpoint Control Program. By developing a Clean Marina Program, a state will demonstrate a commitment to implement the marina management measures required by the joint NOAA/EPA program.
Improve Coordination. By joining in the Clean Marina Initiative, states and their partners will be able to join the growing network of Clean Marina Programs nationwide.
NOAA's Role in the Clean Marina Initiative Many boaters prefer to patronize clean marinas because they value clean coastal waters for boating and fishing. NOAA, jointly responsible for administering the Coastal Nonpoint Control Program with EPA, plays an important role in protecting coastal waters from polluted runoff. The Coastal Nonpoint Program establishes a consistent set of management measures for all coastal states to use in controlling nonpoint source pollution. Management measures are designed to prevent or reduce runoff from a variety of sources, including marinas. NOAA recognizes that the Clean Marina Initiative can serve a valuable role in protecting coastal waters from nonpoint source pollution and has promoted the program as a way for states to meet many of the marina management measure requirements under the Coastal Nonpoint Program. As a result, the Coastal Nonpoint Program has been responsible for driving the development of most of the state Clean Marina Programs existing today and developing a national interest in the Initiative. For more information, contact email@example.com. source: http://coastalmanagement.noaa.gov/marinas.html August 2010
Program Description The Program begins with a review of each marina to determine what Best Management Practices are / are not currently in use - meaning "all activities and products that help prevent or reduce water pollution" - including good boat-keeping practices, education, signs, notices, marina rules and regulations, waste receptacles, spill prevention and rapid clean-up plans - all focused on clean and healthy boating waters. The Program provides a roadmap that provide separate recommendations for both marinas and boaters - covering all boating-related activities, including these specific topics:
Emergencies • Petroleum Containment • Topside Boat Maintenance and Cleaning Underwater Boat Hull Cleaning • Marina Operations • Marina Debris • Boat Sewage Discharge Solid Waste • Liquid Waste • Fish Waste • Hazardous Materials • Storm Water Runoff
Marina owners will be asked to commit to the goals of the Program - to change their operational actions and procedures to enable compliance with the Program BMPs (i.e. "Pledge" to the Program). Marinas are officially "scored" in their effort to comply with the BMPs, and the scoring system becomes the basis for performance improvement and Program certification. The Program also provides marinas and boaters with up-to-date applicable local, state and national regulations and resources to enable focused attainment of the Program goals. Those meeting Program standards and implementing a pledge to continue using these BMPs will receive a Clean Marina designation. There is no "scoring system" for individual boaters, however, a "recognition" effort will be extended through the Program, US Coast Guard Auxiliary and CLRMA volunteers at the lakes and reservoirs. Once a marina has Pledged loyalty to the process, the marina operator(s) will be presented with a Program shirt and a Pledge Certificate. The Program Coordinator's role then evolves as a resource and assistant in the marina's effort to complete the certification process and implement a Clean Boating Behavior Change Campaign targeting the marina's local boating customers and other boaters on that particular lake / reservoir. Where possible, this campaign will utilize US Coast Guard Auxiliary and CLRMA volunteers (and others) who currently perform boat safety inspections or other activities at several of Colorado's larger reservoirs - interacting with boaters to deliver the message and distribute "Clean Boater Kits" with clean boating products and resource information. The message to boaters includes informal education and awareness about the marina's clean boating efforts on that lake and what the boater can do to support this effort. The Program leads marinas through the process of adopting all of the BMPs until the marina has accomplished the changes necessary to be scored sufficiently and earn the designation of a Certified Clean Marina. Upon certification, the marina operator(s) will be presented with a Program flag (to be flown on the marina's dock flag pole), a Certification Plaque, five (5) Program stickers and three (3) Program signs for prominent placement and public visibility around the marina. Participation means marinas adopting clean practices for their operations and delivering this message to their boating customers. It also means the delivery of this message to other public boaters on Colorado's waters. This type of awareness and behavioral change, if adopted by both marinas and boaters, will enable the achievement of the Program's environmental goal - water quality improvement - as evidenced by the successful results of Clean Marina Programs in many other states to date.

This item may be Check for Availability This title in other editionsA House for Hope: The Promise of Progressive Religion for the Twenty-First Century
Synopses & ReviewsReview:"Coauthors Buehrens (A Chosen Faith) and Parker (Saving Paradise), both progressive clergy, engage in conversation with each other and with theologians ancient and modern (Origen, Barth, Buber, J.L. Adams). Using the metaphors of garden, walls, roof, foundation, threshold, they construct a theological 'framework' that faith communities can apply to stimulate reflection and reform, which will develop communal hope, discipline, and activism. To educate contemporary faithful about progressive theology's deep roots, the authors offer complementary chapters within thematic sections, reviewing historical ecumenical and universalist movements and illustrating their arguments with personal anecdotes. Exploring such religious themes as eschatology, salvation, and sin, the authors provide credible alternatives to traditional biblical interpretations, arguing, for example, that apocalyptic scriptures don't predict Earth's ultimate destruction but a future when God's will is done on Earth, and that humanity needs salvation not from God's wrath, but from the consequences of sin. Closing chapters introduce 'process theology,' which argues that God both abides and changes. This accessible, engaging book may inspire religious progressives to claim their proud history and vital role in contemporary theological conversation." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
About the AuthorJohn A. Buehrens was president of the Unitarian Universalist Association from 1993 to 2001 and is now minister of the First Parish Church in Needham, Massachusetts. He is coauthor, with Forrest Church, of A Chosen Faith and author of Understanding the Bible.

Congo M23 rebel fighters ride trucks out of Goma
GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo
- Tweet
- Share this
GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo Dec 1 (Reuters) - Trucks carrying rebel fighters singing and brandishing their weapons pulled out of Democratic Republic of Congo's eastern city of Goma on Saturday under a withdrawal deal brokered by regional states.
Leaders of the Tutsi-led M23 rebel movement had agreed to quit Goma by Saturday. They had seized the city on Lake Kivu on the border with Rwanda on Nov. 20, after they routed government troops backed by United Nations peacekeepers.
"The M23 is leaving Goma," the group's deputy spokesman Amani Kabasha told Reuters.
In the city centre, blue-helmeted U.N. peacekeepers from Uruguay in white armoured vehicles watched as camouflage-clad M23 fighters scrambled onto the back of flatbed trucks with battered suitcases and other belongings before driving off.
Several of the departing trucks were loaded with crates of ammunition including mortar shells.
A crowd of around 200 local residents gathered under a hot tropical sun to watch the rebels go.
A full rebel withdrawal from lakeside Goma, which lies in sight of the towering Mount Nyiragongo volcano, would signal some progress in international efforts to halt the eight-month-old insurgency in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo.
On Friday, the agreed withdrawal appeared to run into problems, including a dispute over abandoned army supplies the insurgents wanted to take with them.
Goma is an important hub in Congo's eastern borderlands which have suffered years of recurring conflict stoked by long-standing ethnic and political enmities and fighting over the region's rich resources of gold, tin, tungsten and coltan. The latter is a precious metal used to make mobile phones.

For the second year in a row, the National Association for Business Resources (NABR) named Troy, Mich.-based Seco Tools one of the nation's "Best and Brightest Companies to Work For."
Seco received the honor for "upholding the highest quality human resources initiatives, including employee engagement, work-life balance, open-door policies, training programs and employee events."
According to Dan Sikora, director of operations and human resources for Seco, the company makes recruiting and retaining talented employees a top priority, which is critical in a time when skilled workers within the manufacturing sector are at a premium.
"We are in an industry that constantly competes to obtain and keep the best talent, and we value each employee for his and her contribution to the customer experience," said Sikora. "We have built a culture on trust and mutual respect. It's been the foundation to our success and the cornerstone principle for how we work with our customers and our employees."
Seco says it offers several programs to reward dedicated, responsible and creative employees, as well as fosters an environment that listens to employees. Furthermore, the company provides training to empower employees to achieve optimal performance, takes a solutions-oriented approach to product quality and innovation, and builds cross-functional teams to drive future company growth.
According to the company, three fundamental values help shape its corporate culture: passion for its customers, family spirit and personal commitment. "Our list of nationally recognized companies has grown significantly this year. This exceptional growth is a testament to how important this designation is for companies that want to have the best and brightest employees working for them," said Jennifer Kluge, president of the National Association for Business Resources. "We are proud to recognize and honor these winning companies."
When selecting the 113 nationally recognized winning companies for 2012, NABR worked with an independent research firm that reviewed several key measures, including compensation; benefits and employee solutions; employee enrichment, engagement and retention; employee education and development; employee achievement and recognition; communication and shared vision; community initiatives; and strategic company performance.
In addition to this national recognition, Corp! Magazine recently listed Seco as one of "Metropolitan Detroit's 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For." This 2012 honor marks the fourth year in a row where the magazine has recognized Seco for providing a highly motivating and rewarding work experience to employees.

The iPhone was the device that took handheld computing from something only nerds could stand to something useful for "normal" people. Looking back at what Apple announced (video) back in 2007, two things stand out: How primitive the first iPhone actually was, functionality-wise—no third-party apps, no multitasking, no copy-paste, etc.—and how revolutionary it was.
In the above-linked video, you can hear people gasp as Jobs demos scrolling and pinch-to-zoom. Which shows what an epic leap forward the product was. When your demo makes the audience audibly gasp in delight, you're doing things very right indeed.
This New York Times article on the backstory behind the development of the first iPhone, apart from being interesting reading in itself, shows just how much Apple bet on that product and how flatfooted it caught the competition. (It's an extract from the very good Dogfight, which you should read if you have any interest in the technology business.)
Now the platform has had enough time to mature that people whose lives are sad can fill the Internet with blather about how boring the accumulated improvements to the platform are. Boring, boring, boring. Yawn. Multi-tasking, a full-on Q-Branch fingerprint sensor, retina screen, massive performance increases. Yawn.
It must be very sad to be one of those people.
Apart from the progress of the iPhone itself, it's mind-boggling just how many other devices and technologies in my life the iPhone has devoured. (And yes, if you swing Android, a modern Android phone can do pretty much the same things.)
The iPhone is now the camera I carry around, it's my GPS, it's my alarm clock, it's my music player, it's my exercise tracker, it's my weight logger, it's my Twitter window, and it's my podcast player. All of that in my pocket.
But wait, there's more! Thanks to the maturation of Bluetooth my iPhone also talks to my FitBit and the Automatic device in my car and plays podcasts over my car stereo. Seriously, listening to a podcast on the bus, then getting in the car and having the same podcast continue playing over the car stereo from inside my pocket is so future it's almost ridiculous.
It's going to be amazing to see what the next seven years will bring.

I tried reading the book. It lead to no clues on how to get home. It was utterly blank, unsurprising seeing how other "Fictionals" have experienced the same. I really hope you people expected otherwise — that somehow I would break the pattern that I've seen you discussing. I am glad that you are working in a way to return me home… but know that I will be most displeased if you were deliberately wasting my time. Do not test my patience.
If you have a book to recommend that details how I could travel from one world to another, make sure the book actually contains such travel. And, more importantly, make sure it's one I can read.
