| Cannot Turn off Windows Firewall 64 bit version. I'm trying to work through an iTunes problem - it tells me that the iTunes application could not be opened - and in an effort to diagnose the problem I wanted to turn off the firewall on my antivirus. I turned off AVG, but when I go to Control Panel and click on Windows Firewall it reads: Home or work (private) networks Not Connected Windows Firewall state On Public networks Connected Windows Firewall state On There is an option on the left 'Turn Windows Firewall on or off' that does turn blue and becomes underscored when I hover the mouse over it. But left or right clicking produce no result. |

| Yeah, I'd already considered that, but I thought the fact that I couldn't turn it off in a normal manner was indicative of a bigger problem - one that may be affecting my inability to run iTunes. |

| You can try turning off the firewall from the command line. Click Start orb, type cmd in the box, then right click on the result and click Run as administrator. At the prompt, type: netsh firewall set opmode disable Now check the status. To turn the firewall on again type: netsh firewall set opmode enable But try running a sfc scan to fix corrupted system files, if any. SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker |

| Well, since I can turn the Firewall of through services.msc, there's really no need to do through a command line. I tried it just for kicks, and it does work, although I get a msg about netsh firewall being deprecated. I just thought that since I am unable to do anything with the left pane of the Firewall page, other than click Advanced Settings, it might be part of a larger problem that is causing to not be able to open iTunes. |

A&M Big Over Rice in Friendly |
Colleges - Men's DI College |
After just a week of practice, the Aggie staff was uncertain about how well A&M was going to play after summer break. "You never feel like you have enough to prepare for a match at any time during the season, " said head coach Brett Mills, "but with a week to train and get ready our anxiety was pretty high. Our expectations were simple, we hoped to run our pattern with some structure and play hard defense." The Aggies were able to accomplish both in a 70-6 season opening win. Texas A&M played its starters in the first half and built a 35-6 lead. Mills brought on a new group for the second half who added 35 more points to the total. "I was really pleased with the way both groups played," stated Mills, "Our first group did exactly what I hoped they would. I was most excited about the intensity of our defense. Even though we made some structural errors, our tackling was extremely hard, which resulted in a number of Rice mistakes." The Aggies were able to take advantage of the mistakes resulting from their defensive pressure and point up big points on the day. Center Jan Young and prop Dickson Garnett both had two tries apiece in the first half. Wing Brian Guillen added a try and flyhalf Conor Mills was 5-5 on conversions. Sophomore center Grayson Dowlearn led the way in the second half with two tries. Prop Garrett Dishman, frosh flanker Danny Amsler, and center Andrew McMath all added solo tries during the second stanza. Scrumhalf Rob Larsen matched Mills' effort in the first half going 5-5 on conversions. "I could not have been more pleased with the way this group played," commented Mills, "If we are going to win in the ARC and against other D1-A competition, we must have depth. We found out on Saturday that we have a lot of guys who are going to be battling for playing time, which makes us better." Team captain Conor Mills added, "We are very pleased with the results today. It is obvious, based on turnovers and defensive mistakes, that we have a lot of work to do, but I think we are way ahead of where we were last year." The coaching staff was overall pleased with the result against a strong Rice team. "I think Rice is a very good team and Mario is an exceptional coach," said coach Mills, "They were a playoff team last year and will be again this year. The Owls are fundamentally sound and hard physically. Rice gave us an excellent challenge and the final score is no way indicative of the quality of this opponent." The Aggies now prepare for sevens rugby with a friendly scrimmage against ARC opponent Sam Houston State next Saturday. "We are very excited about the upcoming sevens season, and we hope to have a very successful season. Our goal is to return to the national championships and the road begins next Saturday, " stated captain Mills. |

The Best Beauty Looks From the
2013 Golden Globes
The stars may have been shivering on the red carpet at the 2013 Golden Globes, but they were heating things up in the beauty department. Smoldering makeup (oh hello, Katharine McPhee), glamazon hair (Amanda Seyfried and Sofia Vergara), and golden skin (Jessica Alba, we're talking to you) were just some of the hot looks of the night. Here is a roundup of the rest of our favorite beauty moments. You can thank the Hollywood Foreign Press—everyone else did.

Not happy with smell
By Lorraine from Flushing, NY on 10/23/2011
Authentic Looking
Poor Design
Describe Yourself:
Was this a gift?:
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend
Comments about Shrek Deluxe Mask:
The mask looks great but you can't get past the smell of the plastic. It smell so bad that it made the whole room smell. You cannot wear the mask for more than a few minutes due to the smell and the lack of breathability.

We have also continued to work on our District Improvement Plan through Wednesday Professional Development Days planned and facilitated by each school's Universal Leadership Team. Teachers have also been working in Professional Learning Communities within each school to problem solve and have student achievement discussions focused on the culture of the school, the learner and skills.
We are committed to planning and facilitating professional development opportunities for educators as well as developing support materials to aid instruction. The Curriculum Department is a valuable resource for teachers, administrators, and others who are invested in providing quality instruction to the students in Peoria Public Schools.

Canada wants more wheels in space with new rovers
Not content with a robot arm and a handyman on the International Space Station, ever-aggressive Canada is aiming for a bigger slice of the space pie with some new rover prototypes.
The Canadian Space Agency recently showed off the fleet of vehicles designed to inspire machines that will explore the moon and Mars.
They include mini-rovers that can act as scouts, as well as larger vehicles that could do double-duty as astronaut transporters. NASA is hoping to work with some of the vehicles, but the earliest that they would be aboard a mission to Mars or the moon would be 2020. … Read more

No! I just sent a letter and autograph request to Mr. Disney. Awful timing in my part, and on the part of his passing during the holiday season. RIP, sir.
The day after the anniversary of Walt's death, too. December must be a rough month for the Disney family.
Requiem aeternam, Roy. Thanks for fighting the good fight and continuing your father and uncle's vision.

Disney rocks, Walt was a genius.
A big shock for the Disney community. The man who helped rebuild his uncle's empire has passed away forty-three years to the day of his uncle's passing. My condolences go out to the family.
Have a Great, Big, Beautiful Today!

Yeah, I heard about it at work. This has been an awful year for us, as we've lost a few people, on top of the numerous jobs. Do you know what really hit close to home? When two of the people who have died this year worked at my very work location.
RIP, Roy. The Disney community grieves your passing, and our wishes go out to the family.

It's the end of an era in a way.
I must be bad luck. I was in MK when Thurl Ravenscroft died if I recall. I was at WDW again when I got news of Roy's death that morning.

Porcelain (also known as China or Fine China) is a ceramic material made by heating materials, generally including clay in the form of kaolin, in a kiln to temperatures between 1,200 °C (2,192 °F) and 1,400 °C (2,552 °F). The toughness, strength, and translucence of porcelain arise mainly from the formation of glass and the mineral mullite within the fired body at these high temperatures.
Porcelain derives its present name from old Italian porcellana (cowrie shell) because of its resemblance to the translucent surface of the shell.[1] Porcelain can informally be referred to as "china" or "fine china" in some English-speaking countries, as China was the birthplace of porcelain making.[2] Properties associated with porcelain include low permeability and elasticity; considerable strength, hardness, toughness, whiteness, translucency and resonance; and a high resistance to chemical attack and thermal shock.
For the purposes of trade, the Combined Nomenclature of the European Communities defines porcelain as being "completely vitrified, hard, impermeable (even before glazing), white or artificially coloured, translucent (except when of considerable thickness), and resonant." However, the term porcelain lacks a universal definition and has "been applied in a very unsystematic fashion to substances of diverse kinds which have only certain surface-qualities in common" (Burton 1906).
The most common uses of porcelain are for utilitarian wares and artistic objects. It can be difficult to distinguish between stoneware and porcelain because this depends upon how the terms are defined. A useful working definition of porcelain might include a broad range of ceramic wares, including some that could be classified as a stoneware. Porcelain is used to make household wares, decorative items and objects of fine art amongst other things.
Kaolin is the primary material from which porcelain is made, even though clay minerals might account for only a small proportion of the whole. The word "paste" is an old term for both the unfired and fired material. A more common terminology these days for the unfired material is "body", for example, when buying materials a potter might order an amount of porcelain body from a vendor.
The composition of porcelain is highly variable, but the clay mineral kaolinite is often a raw material. Other raw materials can include feldspar, ball clay, glass, bone ash, steatite, quartz, petuntse and alabaster.
The clays used are often described as being long or short, depending on their plasticity. Long clays are cohesive (sticky) and have high plasticity; short clays are less cohesive and have lower plasticity. In soil mechanics, plasticity is determined by measuring the increase in content of water required to change a clay from a solid state bordering on the plastic, to a plastic state bordering on the liquid, though the term is also used less formally to describe the facility with which a clay may be worked. Clays used for porcelain are generally of lower plasticity and are shorter than many other pottery clays. They wet very quickly, meaning that small changes in the content of water can produce large changes in workability. Thus, the range of water content within which these clays can be worked is very narrow and the loss or gain of water during storage and throwing or forming must be carefully controlled to keep the clay from becoming too wet or too dry to manipulate.
The following section provides background information on the methods used to form, decorate, finish, glaze, and fire ceramic wares.
Unlike their lower-fired counterparts, porcelain wares do not need glazing to render them impermeable to liquids and for the most part are glazed for decorative purposes and to make them resistant to dirt and staining. Many types of glaze, such as the iron-containing glaze used on the celadon wares of Longquan, were designed specifically for their striking effects on porcelain.
Porcelain wares may be decorated under the glaze using pigments that include cobalt and copper or over the glaze using coloured enamels. Like many earlier wares, modern porcelains are often biscuit-fired at around 1,000 degrees Celsius, coated with glaze and then sent for a second glaze-firing at a temperature of about 1,300 degrees Celsius or greater. Another early method is once-fired where the glaze is applied to the unfired body and the two fired together in a single operation.
In this process, green (unfired) ceramic wares are heated to high temperatures in a kiln to permanently set their shapes. Porcelain is fired at a higher temperature than earthenware so that the body can vitrify and become non-porous.
Chinese porcelain[edit]
Porcelain originated in China. Although proto-porcelain wares exist dating from the Shang Dynasty (1600–1046 BC), by the Eastern Han Dynasty period (196–220) glazed ceramic wares had developed into porcelain.[3][4] Porcelain manufactured during the Tang Dynasty (618–906) was exported to the Islamic world, where it was highly prized.[4][5] Early porcelain of this type includes the tri-colour glazed porcelain, or sancai wares. The exact dividing line between proto-porcelain and porcelain wares is not a clear one to date. Porcelain items in the sense that we know them today could be found in the Tang Dynasty,[6] and archaeological finds have pushed the dates back to as early as the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD).[3][7] By the Sui Dynasty (581–618) and Tang Dynasty (618–907), porcelain had become widely produced.
Eventually, porcelain and the expertise required to create it began to spread into other areas of East Asia. During the Song Dynasty (960–1279), artistry and production had reached new heights. The manufacture of porcelain became highly organised and the kiln sites, those excavated from this period, could fire as many as 25,000 wares.[7] By the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), porcelain art was being exported to Europe. Some of the most well-known Chinese porcelain art styles arrived in Europe during this era, such as the coveted blue-and-white wares.[8] The Ming Dynasty controlled much of the porcelain trade, which were further expanded to all over Asia, Africa and Europe through the Silk Road. Later, Portuguese merchants began direct trade over the sea route with the Ming Dynasty in 1517 and were followed by Dutch merchants in 1598.[5]
European porcelain[edit]
These exported Chinese porcelains were held in such great esteem in Europe that in the English language china became a commonly–used synonym for the Franco-Italian term porcelain. Apart from copying Chinese porcelain in faience (tin glazed earthenware), the soft-paste Medici porcelain in 16th-century Florence was the first real European attempt to reproduce it, with little success.
Early 16th century, the Portuguese brought back samples of kaolin clay, which they discovered in China to be essential in the production of porcelain wares, but the Chinese techniques and composition to manufacture porcelain were not yet fully understood.[7] Countless experiments to produce porcelain had unpredictable results and would meet with failure.[7] In the German state of Saxony, the search concluded with an eventual discovery in 1708 by Ehrenfried Walther von Tschirnhaus that produced a hard, white, translucent type of porcelain specimen with a combination of ingredients, including kaolin clay and alabaster, mined from a Saxon mine in Colditz.[9][10] It was closely guarded as a trade secret by the Saxon enterprise.[10][11]
In 1712, many of the elaborate Chinese manufacturing secrets for porcelain were revealed throughout Europe by the French Jesuit father Francois Xavier d'Entrecolles and soon published in the Lettres édifiantes et curieuses de Chine par des missionnaires jésuites.[12] The secrets of porcelain manufacturing, which d'Entrecolles read about and witnessed in China, were now known and began being used in Europe.[12]
Von Tschirnhaus and Böttger were employed by Augustus the Strong and worked at Dresden and Meissen in the German state of Saxony. Tschirnhaus had a wide knowledge of European science and had been involved in the European quest to perfect porcelain manufacture when in 1705 Böttger was appointed to assist him in this task. Böttger had originally been trained as a pharmacist; after he turned to alchemical research, it was his claim that he knew the secret of transmuting dross into gold that attracted the attention of Augustus. Imprisoned by Augustus as an incentive to hasten his research, Böttger was obliged to work with other alchemists in the futile search for transmutation and was eventually assigned to assist Tschirnhaus.[9] One of the first results of the collaboration between the two was the development of a red stoneware that resembled the red stoneware of Yixing.
A workshop note records that the first specimen of hard, white and vitrified European porcelain was produced in 1708. At the time, the research was still being supervised by Tschirnhaus; however, he died in October of that year. It was left to Böttger to report to Augustus in March 1709 that he could make porcelain. For this reason, credit for the European discovery of porcelain is traditionally ascribed to him rather than Tschirnhaus.[13]
The Meissen factory was established in 1710 after the development of a kiln and a glaze suitable for use with Böttger's porcelain, which required firing at temperatures up to 1,400 °C (2,552 °F) to achieve translucence. Meissen porcelain was once-fired, or green-fired. It was noted for its great resistance to thermal shock; a visitor to the factory in Böttger's time reported having seen a white-hot teapot being removed from the kiln and dropped into cold water without damage. Evidence to support this widely disbelieved story was given in the 1980s when the procedure was repeated in an experiment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[citation needed]
Soft paste porcelain[edit]
The pastes produced by combining clay and powdered glass (frit) were called Frittenporzellan in Germany and frita in Spain. In France they were known as pâte tendre and in England as "soft-paste".[14] They appear to have been given this name because they do not easily retain their shape in the wet state, or because they tend to slump in the kiln under high temperature, or because the body and the glaze can be easily scratched.
Experiments at Rouen produced the earliest soft-paste in France, but the first important French soft-paste porcelain was made at the Saint-Cloud factory before 1702. Soft-paste factories were established with the Chantilly manufactory in 1730 and at Mennecy in 1750. The Vincennes porcelain factory was established in 1740, moving to larger premises at Sèvres[15] in 1756. Vincennes soft-paste was whiter and freer of imperfections than any of its French rivals, which put Vincennes/Sèvres porcelain in the leading position in France and throughout the whole of Europe in the second half of the 18th century.[16]
The first soft-paste in England was demonstrated by Thomas Briand to the Royal Society in 1742 and is believed to have been based on the Saint-Cloud formula. In 1749, Thomas Frye took out a patent on a porcelain containing bone ash. This was the first bone china, subsequently perfected by Josiah Spode.
In the twenty-five years after Briand's demonstration, half a dozen factories were founded in England to make soft-paste table-wares and figures:
- Chelsea (1743)[17][18]
- Bow (1745)[19][20][21]
- St James's (1748)[21][22]
- Bristol porcelain (1748)
- Longton Hall (1750)[23]
- Royal Crown Derby (1750 or 1757)[24][25]
- Royal Worcester (1751)
- Lowestoft porcelain (1757)[26][27]
- Wedgwood (1759)
- Spode (1767)
Other developments[edit]
William Cookworthy discovered deposits of kaolin clay in Cornwall, making a considerable contribution to the development of porcelain and other whiteware ceramics in the United Kingdom. Cookworthy's factory at Plymouth, established in 1768, used kaolin clay and china stone to make porcelain with a body composition similar to that of the Chinese porcelains of the early eighteenth century.
Porcelain can be divided into the three main categories: hard-paste, soft-paste and bone china depending on the composition of the paste, the material used to form the body of a porcelain object and the firing conditions.
Hard paste[edit]
These porcelains that came from East Asia, especially China, were some of the finest quality porcelain wares. The earliest European porcelains were produced at the Meissen factory in the early 18th century; they were formed from a paste composed of kaolin and alabaster and fired at temperatures up to 1,400 °C (2,552 °F) in a wood-fired kiln, producing a porcelain of great hardness, translucency, and strength.[10] Later, the composition of the Meissen hard paste was changed and the alabaster was replaced by feldspar and quartz, allowing the pieces to be fired at lower temperatures. Kaolinite, feldspar and quartz (or other forms of silica) continue to provide the basic ingredients for most continental European hard-paste porcelains.
Soft paste[edit]
Soft-paste porcelains date back from the early attempts by European potters to replicate Chinese porcelain by using mixtures of clay and ground-up glass (frit) to produce soft-paste porcelain. Soapstone and lime were known to have been included in these compositions. These wares were not yet actual porcelain wares as they were not hard and vitrified by firing kaolin clay at high temperatures. As these early formulations suffered from high pyroplastic deformation, or slumping in the kiln at raised temperature, they were uneconomic to produce and of low quality. Formulations were later developed based on kaolin clay with quartz, feldspars, nepheline syenite or other feldspathic rocks. These were technically superior and continue in production. Soft-paste porcelains are fired at lower temperatures than hard-paste porcelain, therefore these are in general less hard than hard-paste porcelains.[28][29]
Bone china[edit]
Although originally developed in England since 1748[30] to compete with imported porcelain, bone china is now made worldwide. The English[clarification needed] had read the letters of Jesuit missionary Francois Xavier d'Entrecolles, which described Chinese porcelain manufacturing secrets in detail.[31] One writer has speculated that a misunderstanding of the text could possibly have been responsible for the first attempts to use bone-ash as an ingredient of English porcelain,[31] although this is not supported by researchers and historians.[32][33][34][35][36] In China, kaolin clay was sometimes described as forming the bones of the paste, while the flesh was provided by the refined rocks suitable for the porcelain body.[28][31] Traditionally English bone china was made from two parts of bone-ash, one part of kaolin clay and one part china stone, although this has largely been replaced by feldspars from non-UK sources.[37]
Other uses[edit]
Electric insulating material[edit]
Porcelain and other ceramic materials have many applications in engineering, especially ceramic engineering. Porcelain is an excellent insulator for use at high voltage, especially in outdoor applications. Examples are: terminals for high voltage cables, bushings of power transformers, insulation of high frequency antennas and many other components.
Building material[edit]
Porcelain can be used as a building material, usually in the form of tiles or large rectangular panels. Modern porcelain tiles are generally produced to a number of recognised international standards and definitions.[38][39] Manufacturers are found across the world[40] with Italy being the global leader, producing over 380 million square metres in 2006.[41] Historic examples of rooms decorated entirely in porcelain tiles can be found in several European palaces including ones at Capodimonte, Naples, the Royal Palace of Madrid and the nearby Royal Palace of Aranjuez.[42] and the Porcelain Tower of Nanjing in China. More recent noteworthy examples include The Dakin Building in Brisbane, California, and the Gulf Building in Houston, Texas, which when constructed in 1929 had a 70-foot-long (21 m) porcelain logo on its exterior.[43] A more detailed description of the history, manufacture and properties of porcelain tiles is given in the article "Porcelain Tile: The Revolution Is Only Beginning."[43]

30-Round Double Eagle MultiBurst TripleShot shotgun shell made out of durable ABS composite. Holds 30 rounds per shell, or 10 shots (3 BBs per shot).Compatible with Double Eagle (DE), UTG, and Tokyo Marui 3-Shot burst shotguns. Good quality, fit and finish. Jet black color, with gold colored shell tip (very realistic).
"I don't know why these shells have such low reviews, I have both the red and black shells and they both perform as they should. I took them both apart and they're the same design just different colors so they should perform equally in performance."
"can this fit any shot gun "
"I'd personally get the 3 pack one, it's a much better deal."
"I have 2 of these and 2 red shells. Both of these black ones will not feed any BBs, maybe 1 per 3 pumps. But for some reason, the red ones work flawlessly"

Lance Armstrong interview draws 3.2 million viewers
By David BauderAssociated Press
NEW YORK — Oprah Winfrey's much-anticipated interview with Lance Armstrong was seen by a total of 4.3 million viewers in back-to-back airings Thursday night on OWN.
But the interview with the disgraced cycling champion drew only 3.2 million viewers for its first airing, an audience that fell short of OWN's most-watched program: an interview Winfrey conducted with the family of Whitney Houston last March following the singer's death the previous month.
During the highly publicized program, Armstrong confessed to taking banned substances for all seven of his Tour de France victories, among other admissions.
The second half of the Armstrong interview is scheduled to air Friday night.

Questions for Discussion
1. How would you describe Nina Revskaya? What kind a person was she? Do you sympathize with the way events shaped the woman she became? And how would you compare her with Vera Borodina? What exactly was the nature of their friendship? What held them back from sharing their deepest secrets?
2. How does living in a repressive society like Stalin's Soviet Union affect human relationships? Can real trust ever be formed between friends, spouses, colleagues? What risks do people face in revealing their true nature?
3. Each piece of Nina's jewelry denotes a particular memory. Why do you think she waited so long to finally part with her jewels? Are there memories we have that are too painful to face, yet too dear to let go of? Do any of your possessions hold a special memory for you?
4. In your opinion, did Viktor Elsin truly love Nina? Did she love him? What about Gersh and Vera? What sacrifices were each willing to make for love?
5. After she defected, Nina believed she had shed the first third of her life. To what extent was this true? Can we ever truly rid ourselves of parts of our lives—or ourselves—that we don't like? What is the price of forgetting?
6. Nina cherished the solitude of her later years. "She relished the very texture of her privacy, its depth of space and freedom, much of an entire day hers alone. Her early life of always sharing, never a private moment or corner or closet shelf of her own, had left her hungry for this." Was her solitude a release, or was it a fortress she used to keep others—and the past—away?
7. Was Nina a victim of the society in which she was raised—or a perpetrator of its worst abuses? Would her ambitions have eventually led her to behave the way her jealousy ultimately caused her to act? Was Nina's jealousy justified? Did Viktor, Gershstein, and Vera have a hand in their own demise? Are the choices Nina made forgivable?
8. Themes of art, politics, and love are intertwined throughout the novel. How do art and politics influence each other? Can art be a release from political oppression? In what ways can it be oppression's tool?
9. Can art flourish in a repressive state? How does repression influence the creation and expression of art? In a repressive state like the Soviet Union, must artistic success be accompanied by compromise? Compare the choices that Viktor, Nina, Gersh, and Vera made.
10. Were Gersh, Viktor and Vera radicals? What makes someone a dissident? Why do nations like the former Soviet Union insist on silencing all criticism?
11. What did art—the ballet—mean to Nina? Did she have to make a choice between dance and love? Could she have balanced both? What about women today? Have choices become easier or more difficult as opportunities for women have expanded?
12. Zoltan, also a refugee from the Iron Curtain, tells Grigori, "I remember before I left Hungary understanding completely that literature could save me as much as it could get me killed. Of course it's not like that here. But isn't it funny, that in some ways the price one pays for freedom of speech is . . . a kind of indifference." What does he mean by this? What do you think of his viewpoint? Must an artist suffer in some way to produce art?
13. After Nina defected to the West, she found she could not enjoy all of its freedoms. "Even when she tried to will it open, Nina's heart would not budge." Why couldn't she open herself up to new love and new friends? What held her back—habit, or guilt?
14. What do you think of Drew Brooks? Do you see similarities between her and Nina? What are your impressions of Grigori Solodin? How are he and Nina alike?
15. What did Drew and Grigori offer each other that others could not? Do you think their personalities and experiences made them more attuned to Nina's unconscious longings and regrets?
16. Why did Nina refuse to see Grigori on the occasions he tried to contact her? How were their assumptions about each other wrong?
17. On their third anniversary, Viktor tells Nina, "love is all we have." But for Nina, it is dance and love. And years later, Grigori's colleague and friend Zoltan remarks, "There are only two things that really matter in life. Literature and love." Can art change the world—change who we are? Can love? Has love or a passion transformed you or someone you know?
18. Have you ever met anyone who has lived under repressive circumstances? How did discovering their story affect you or your outlook?
19. Did Grigori ultimately have a better life—though it was fraught with uncertainty—because of Nina's selfishness? How might his experience have been different if he'd grown up in the Soviet Union rather than Europe and eventually America?

The Dangers of Asbestos Exposure During Home RenovJun 19 2012 One of the latest trends in home renovation is the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) movement. Hoping to save some money, many homeowners are opting to do home improvements themselves. More homeowners are also becoming aware of many "green" options for replacing materials in their home. If you live in an older home, a hidden danger may lurk in the walls, attic, and basement or even in sealants around your windows: asbestos. In many homes built before the 1980s, asbestos was a popular building product used in insulation, ceiling walls, floor tiles, roofing and window caulking. Before doing any work, you should hire a professional inspector to locate all the possible asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) in your home. If you are trying to make your older home more energy efficient, safe and sustainable, looking at replacing asbestos-containing materials is probably a good idea. Asbestos is a known carcinogen that causes serious diseases like asbestosis, lung cancer and mesothelioma. If asbestos is in good condition, it poses little threat, but it also breaks easily and this dust can float on the air and enter the nose and mouth. Over time, these fibers become lodged in the lungs, abdomen and the linings of internal organs. Choosing to abate (remove) ACMs and replace them with more sustainable and eco-friendly options will not only make your home or building more green, it will also make it safer. Asbestos is found in many areas in the home, but insulation, roofing and window caulking are some of the most common places to find it. Insulation Asbestos is resistant to extreme temperatures, making it an ideal insulator. Asbestos insulation can be found in roofs, walls, water pipes and heaters. Homeowners have a variety of eco-friendly insulation choices to replace asbestos:
Another popular use for asbestos was in roof shingles and roofing cement. There are several materials that can add style and efficiency to your home:
One place homeowners might not think to look for asbestos is in the caulking around windows. Caulk is used to reduce noise and insulate. Many caulks may contain asbestos. Some asbestos free and eco-friendly caulk brands include:
Remember, asbestos abatement should only be performed by a licensed, trained professional. But if you are doing work around suspected ACMs, always use the proper Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as disposable gloves, head cover, coveralls, shoe protectors and a respirator. Bio: Michelle Y. Llamas researches and writes about asbestos and its related diseases for the Mesothelioma Center. Want to participate in the Blinds Chalet community?

Use Whisher to treat anyone's Wi-Fi like it's your own
There's a new Wi-Fi sharing service launching at Demo 07: Whisher. This service competes with Fon, but has a very different architecture. (See News.com story.)
Fon asks its customers to install Fon-powered Wi-Fi access points on their broadband connections, and it makes them all into a global shared network. Whisher, by contrast, collects the access keys to the existing routers that its subscribers already use. In other words, to put your broadband connection on the Whisher network, you give the service your Wi-Fi access point's ID and security code (WEP or WPA key), and then Whisher holds … Read more

Pop screws this up. The paying public deserves even just 1 of their stars to show tonight against the Heat. You're paying good money to watch the game and Popovich decided to let go of his top prized cagers back home to prepare against the Grizzlies. They are actually missing 6 players now and with 9 players suiting for tonight's game, it does not look like and NBA game for us. He could have let Parker play and instead of sending home Duncan and Ginobili, he should have ordered these players to remain in Miami and just watch the game. Pathetic!
Four Spurs stars sent home to rest, will miss nationally televised Heat game
Thursday night's marquee nationally televised Spurs-Heat game will be lacking much of San Antonio's star power, possibly because Spurs coach Gregg Popovich wants to send a message to NBA commissioner David Stern.
Popovich has sent four of his top five leading scorers home to San Antonio. Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili and Danny Green did not travel with the team following Wednesday night's win in Orlando. The quartet will get an extra day of rest prior to Saturday's home game against Southwest Division contender Memphis.
Popovich bemoaned the most demanding November road schedule in team history prior to the Orlando game.
"We're getting tired," Popovich said. "We've had a six-day trip and a 10-day trip. Usually you don't have that in one month."
Less than 24 hours later, the ripples of Popovich's decision will be felt all the way to the offices — and ratings book — of TNT and the NBA.
Popovich will stress sitting starters tonight is best for the team. Unspoken message will be to Stern: You have your schedule, we have ours.—
Buck Harvey (@Buck_SA) November 29, 2012
The absence of Duncan, Parker, Ginobili and Green means the Spurs — who are already missing injured small forward Kawhi Leonard and Stephen Jackson — will tip off against the defending NBA champions with nine players.

Saranac Lake's TB history includes famous Norwegian explorer
May 06, 2008 — Next week, the U.S. Postal Service will unveil a new stamp honoring Saranac Lake's Edward Livingston Trudeau. Trudeau did pioneering research in tuberculosis care. His sanatorium attracted patients from all over the world. One of the more famous patients was a Norwegian explorer and anthropologist named Carl Lumholtz. Lumholtz came to Saranac Lake at the end of his life, in the 1920s, after leading expeditions to Australia, Mexico, and the South Pacific. Brian Mann spoke about Lumholtz with Norwegian journalist Morten Andrea Stroksnes. Stroksnes was in the Adirondacks recently researching a new biography of Lumholtz. Go to full article

In this, the United Nations International Year of the Cooperative, it was inevitable that The Economist would be out hunting for heretics.
Indeed, this very article was anticipated (here and here) on Democracy in America nine days ago. To quote:
So let's hope The Economist thinks outside the square this year and covers the cooperative movement.
And let's hope it is a balanced report, and not a typical one-sided Economist hatchet job which simply lists the defects of anything that deviates from The Economist's beloved model of big business corporate capitalism.
Alas, it was too much to expect.
The cooperative movement - and the nature of firms in general - is far more complex than described in this ignorant article.
The Economist becomes more ridiculous with each passing week.
There are some good points here folks, but to gloss over the report by Cass Business School (which is not the first research to suggest the benefits of employee-owned companies) and suggest that Lehman Brothers and Enron are relevant examples is frankly absurd. You can do better than this, and I hope you will.
With the greatest respect you couldn't be more incorrect. The reason why John Lewis Partnership is so well run and able to treat its Partners so well and remunerate them properly is entirely because of its ownership structure. If JLP were owned by II's and PI's the objective of the Board would be to deliver shareholder value, which sadly in this day and age is measured over months not years, and normally equates to management philosophy focussed solely on financials, rather than a triple bottom line. The difference with JLP is it that it's owned solely by its employees and the business is run - with a commercial focus - for the benefit of the employees. Indeed at the very heart of John Lewis' philosophy and approach is their constitution which clearly states that the ultimate purpose of the Partnership 'is the happiness of its members'. Thus, management have the task of employing whatever strategy and operational direction they believe will achieve this purpose because of the ownership structure. Clearly a profitable business model is a must for the Partnership to continue to achieve its purpose, but profit is not the single motivator.
If you don't believe any of this go to a JLP store and talk to the Partners about what employee ownership means to them.
John Lewis is as succesful as it is because it is very well run. Not because of any partnership.
It could teach a lot of firms about how to treat staff and properly remunerate them to create the most efficient and stable workforce possible, but that has little to do with the company structure and a lot more to do with the management philsophy.
Come on guys, i don't expect such a lazy analysis from you. There is a load of research that points to higher employee engagement and performance in employee-owned businesses and that the UK has a comparatively low proportion of mutuals and co-ops. The banking examples show precisely why we need more responsible capitalism, and greater employee involvement and ownership is one route to this. And how could you fail to mention that the great Economist itself is structured with a trust and dual share structure to preserve its integrity and independence and avoid the excesses of casino capitalism. Practicing what you preach?
To compare Lehmanns and Enron with John Lewis is disingenuous in the extreme.
The staff in neither Lehmanns nor Enron had the same influence on the board as exists in John Lewis through the management committee hierarchy. The Economist is confusing companies in which some of the share capital is available to staff but little of the management control and where there is a mixture of external and conflicting interests versus no external investors.
John Lewis' model "is not an answer to all ills." Well, neither is The Economist's.
Could you fix the last paragraph? You describe the fact that "Sir" Fred would have been unwilling or unable to work his spectacularly incompetent form of wizardry if RBS had been owned by its employees, but the way it is currently worded, it reads like a counterargument to employee ownership! Surely shome mishtake?
I am happy to see this discussion in the Economist, and hope that we will have a similarly vigorous one in the United States. However, I was dismayed to see that this article draws purely on anecdote and theory, completely avoiding the research on employee ownership. The "eggs in one basket" argument, for example, is made almost entirely irrelevant by the actual patterns of employee ownership. Namely, most employee-owned companies have two baskets, one with diversified assets, and one with company shares. The value of those two baskets in the United States is 2.5 times as large as the assets for someone working for a comparable non-employee-owned company. You might have also looked at research that shows employee ownership causing job growth, improved profitability, higher productivity, better rates of company survival, and more employee involvement programs.

Postgame quotes following Boston College's 24-14 loss to Clemson.

"The big thing for me is our secondary," Swinney said. "If I'm sitting in the stands, that's what I'm watching. There are a lot of question marks coming out of last season. "To be fair to those guys, we were very thin going into last season, and then we just get decimated by injuries. But compared to where we were at this time last year, we have nine new pieces - eight signees and Martin Jenkins, who was out all year.

Dabo Swinney on the Clemson secondary. Go 'Dawgs!The defending SEC East champion Georgia Bulldogs kick off their 2013 campaign by renewing their age-old rivalry with the Clemson Tigers. Another close game between the two teams is likely . . . but not in the manner most longstanding fans expect.
A preview of the matchup in Death Valley
Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney has suggested moving the Tigers' 2013 college football season opener to Labor Day night, but the Georgia Bulldogs' athletic director has a better idea: play the game on Thursday night, instead.
Though this college football season will produce neither a conference nor a national championship for Georgia, it remains one of the best uncrowned seasons in school history. In that regard, the 2012 Bulldogs resemble the 2003 Bulldogs.

Kay Shelton
Associate Director, Clinical Program
Kay Shelton, the Associate Director of the Clinical Program at the S.J. Quinney College of Law, began working at the University of Utah in 2006. Prior to joining the Clinical Program staff in 2010, Kay worked in graduate admissions at the business school, followed by three years as the law school's career counselor. The favorite parts of her job are working with students to find a good fit for their clinical placements and reading their clinic reports. "It's amazing to see what the students do and learn in clinics and how this shapes how they want to practice law."
Being part of the larger University of Utah community is important to Kay, and she has volunteered enthusiastically on the University of Utah Staff Council, including one year on the Executive Board, and on the University Health and Safety Committee. Kay has also been involved in starting the College of Law's Green Team, which will promote activities to help the law school with its sustainability goals.
For fun, Kay loves to travel, especially "off the beaten path" vacations. She takes frequent short trips to Walla Walla Washington to work on her family's farm. "The wheat fields around Walla Walla can be described as Van Gogh country", she says, "and visiting Walla Walla reminds me of Napa or Sonoma California in the eighties."
