Léogâne (Haitian Creole: Leyogàn) is a seaside town in Ouest Department, Haïti. It is located in the eponymous arrondissement, the Léogâne Arrondissement. The port town is located about 29 km (18 mi) West of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince. The town was at the epicenter of the 12 January 2010 earthquake, and was catastrophically affected, with 80-90% of buildings damaged.[1][2] It also had been destroyed in an earthquake in 1770.[3]
Léogâne is the birthplace of the Taíno queen Anacaona (the town was originally called the Amerindian name Yaguana) as well as Marie-Claire Heureuse Félicité, the wife of the Haitian revolutionary Jean-Jacques Dessalines (1758).
Charlemagne Péralte, the leader of the Haitian resistance to the U.S. occupation that had started in 1915, had been a military officer stationed in Léogâne. He resigned from the military, refusing to surrender to the U.S. troops without a fight. Afterwards he returned to his native town of Hinche and began leading the Cacos against the occupation forces.
Since 2005 (prior to the 12 January 2010 earthquake) the city has had an Episcopalian nursing school, Faculté des Sciences Infirmières de l'Université Épiscopale d'Haïti à Léogâne. There was also a hospital run by the Episcopalian Diocese, with Presbyterian missionary collaboration; Hopital Sainte-Croix (Holy Cross). The hospital had closed to inpatients two years previously, and although it had continued with a variety of outpatient services, it is since restored to a being full service healthcare institution.[4][5] The centerpiece of the city was the now-destroyed Roman Catholic Sainte Rose de Lima Church.[6]
2010 earthquake[edit]

Léogâne was at the epicenter of the 7.0 magnitude 12 January 2010 earthquake,[1] and a United Nations assessment team that investigated three main towns near Port-au-Prince found that Léogâne was "the worst affected area" with 80 to 90% of buildings damaged and no remaining government infrastructure.[2] Nearly every concrete structure was destroyed. The damage was also reported to be worse than the capital. The military estimated that 20,000 to 30,000 people had died from the earthquake in Léogâne. People had congregated in ad hoc squatter camps and relief had taken longer to reach Léogâne.[1]
In the wake of the temblor destroying municipal buildings, city hall was moved to a telecommunications building.[7] Among the facilities destroyed in the quake was the Sainte Rose de Lima School, considered the emotional heart of the city. The main commercial strip, the "Grand Rue" was also collapsed.[6] Saint Croix Hospital was also partially demolished.[8] The "court of the peace" building was destroyed in the temblor.[9]
British urban search and rescue teams with Rapid-UK along with the Icelandic search and rescue team were the first to reach the destroyed town on 17 January 2010.[10] The Canadian destroyer HMCS Athabaskan first reached the area on Tuesday, 19 January. The Athabaskan's crew of 280 have been tasked to supply humanitarian aid to the city and assist in relief efforts.[11] A Japanese field hospital, Sri Lankan peacekeeper unit, and an Argentine White Helmets field hospital are already in the field treating survivors,[12] the Japanese and Argentinians had arrived on the 18th.[6] The Canadian Medical Assistance Team (CMAT) arrived on the 19th, and set to work performing surgeries.[13][14]
The missionaries of World Wide Village, set up outpatient clinics beside the Japanese Red Cross at the nursing school in Léogâne within days after the earthquake. Volunteer medical personal together with teams of volunteer surgeons from World Wide Village and the University of Notre Dame, have seen and treated thousands of patients. World Wide Village brought in a Field Hospital which began full operation in Late February 2010, the new, "Hospital St. Croix". World Wide Village and the University of Notre Dame continue to send teams to the nursing school/field hospital to meet ongoing health care needs in Léogâne.[15]
The NGOs Heart to Heart International and Médecins Sans Frontières were providing medical aid at clinical sites in the area.[citation needed]
As Léogâne has no airport, the Canadians began using the small strip at Jacmel to avoid the bottleneck in Port-au-Prince, and had 250–300 personnel there the next day.[16] The Canadian 1 Field Hospital is being deployed to Léogâne.[17][18] The Cuban military set up a field hospital in the region.[19]
Canadian soldiers are providing security for food distribution points.[20] The Canadian medical facility is located near the Japanese field hospital, which is next to the nursing school, which has been turned into a hospital.[4] Canada has deployed the Van Doos, a Canadian infantry regiment, to help with recovery efforts.[21] Haitian Girl Guides and Boy Scouts are providing crowd control at some food distribution points.[7]
With no airport in Léogâne, any aid needing to be airlifted in needs to be carried by helicopter, or through use of small planes on makeshift landing strips. The highway, Route 9, at Léogâne, was cordoned off by UN Peacekeepers to use as such a landing strip.[22]
The Korean government announced it would deploy 250 peacekeepers to the region in February, composed mostly of engineers, with some medical troops, and marines for security.[23] The mission comprises 120 military engineers, 22 medics and a 1,200 tonne-freighter filled with supplies and equipment.[24] As of 18 February 2010, the Korean Peacekeepers had started work on building a hospital.[25] On 27 February 2010, 190 South Korean Peacekeepers left home for deployment in Léogâne.[26] By 28 February 2010, 240 members of South Korean Peacekeepers (Task Force Danbi / Operation Danbi) had arrived.[27]
The UN Food and Agriculture Organization started a cash-for-work programme to clear irrigation canals in the Léogâne area.[28]
As of 9 February 2010, the US 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit was rotating out of Haiti, having been replaced by the US 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, in their position on USS Bataan and Carrefour, Léogâne, Petit-Goâve, and Grand-Goâve.[29][30]
On 2 March 2010, the IFRC decongested a refugee camp, creating a second one out of the overflow.[31]
Once the victims of the earthquake were cared for, 1 Canadian Field Hospital began to treat patients with other serious illnesses. Many operations were performed on patients who traveled long distances to Léogâne for care.[18] On 7 March 2010, it was announced that HMCS Athabaskan was to end its mission on 10 March.[32][33]
Johanniter International (Built top of the bill rehabilitation center in Leogane, which was donated to the Seventh Day Adventist Hospital) and six community clinics in the region of Leogane. They also trained more than 30,000 villagers in disaster reduction and preparation.
Deep Springs International (sponsor of Gadyen Dlo) and the Children's Nutrition Program[34] are based in Léogâne.
The University of Notre Dame du Lac of Indiana is hosted by the Sainte Croix Hospital, and with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, assists the hospital in conducting a Ministry of Health-sanctioned reference center to research, treat and control the mosquito-borne disease lymphatic filariasis (aka elephantiasis).
GOALS (Global Outreach and Love of Soccer) is a permanent sport-for-development organization in Léogâne which uses soccer to mobilize youth to improve health, the environment and local leadership.
La Faculté des Sciences Infirmières de l'Université Épiscopale d'Haïti à Léogâne (FSIL) is a baccalaureate nursing school located in Léogâne.

PHOENIX (AP) -- "No burn" restrictions are in effect in the Phoenix metropolitan area due to high particulate levels in the air.
The restrictions include a prohibition on burning wood in fireplaces, outdoor stoves, chimineas and fire pits.
Air quality officials say they recognize that New Year's Eve is a big evening for recreational activities but they urge people to abide by the restrictions to protect public health.

Mr Puzzle - We've got puzzles!
Category Almost 100 different puzzles priced between $15 and $20! Easy puzzles, tricky puzzles, difficult puzzles; shopping for a man gift for His special birthday, Father's Day or Christman, or even something for Mum for Mother's Day, you won't have any problem finding something just right here to challenge them! Difficulty Level 5 Difficulty Level 6 The puzzle is to separate the four pieces from each other then put them back together again. Difficulty Level 6 The key work here is "antlers". Can you free the antlers.... and then put them back together again? Difficulty Level 5 This puzzle is one of these rare puzzles revived in it's new form. The key of the puzzle is decisively navigating its labyrinth, in which exists one point of weakness for you to break through. For the indecisive part of you! Difficulty Level 5 The object of this brilliant cast metal puzzle is to take the two interlocked loops apart and take them out of the surrounding planet like structure, then get the puzzle back together again. The puzzle was designed for Hanayama by Oskar van Deventner of The Netherlands and released in 2008. Difficulty Level 1 Can you take it apart? Can you assemble it again? Getting the two parts of the loop back together again will be much trickier than you might think. The puzzle comes on a leather thong so that you can use is as a pendant it certainly makes a baffling piece of jewellery. Created by the young Finnish puzzle designer Vesa Timonen. The key word is "Synthesis". Difficulty Level 4 The puzzle is to separate the four pieces from each other then put them back together again. Four pieces of the same shape are loosely interlocked to make the puzzle. The pieces fit loosely together and it seems they should be easy to take apart. Difficulty Level 5 The puzzles is to try to separate the two H's that are locked together. Difficulty Level 4 This puzzle has such a beautiful shape that it could easily be mistaken for a piece of jewelry. Difficulty Level 5 Can you separate the five pieces of the 3D jigsaw and then get them back together again? Difficulty Level 5 Can you separate the 'Adam' and 'Eve' loops from the heart? Difficulty Level 4 The puzzle is to separate the two pieces fashioned after the image of intertwining Bach melodies. Difficulty Level 2 This puzzle, utilising pieces resembling equipment used in the sport of cricket, can be traced back to a puzzle patented in England back in 1898. The world's only remaining original version of this puzzle is part of the personal collection of James Dalgety in England. Difficulty Level 5 The five separate rings can be taken apart and put back together again to form a very large ring. The ring is a puzzle, not meant to be worn as jewellery. The diameter is 30mm. Difficulty Level 4 Difficulty Level 3 This cube is actually a maze from which you have to remove the segment of a sphere. The segment inside can be moved around but how to find the 14 set moves, in order, to remove it from the cube? There are many reviewers, including Rik van Grol writing in CFF Magazine, who believe this puzzle warrants a rating even higher than Level 3 out of 6. Difficulty Level 4 The puzzle is to try to get the three pieces apart and then back together again. To the people at Hanayama it looked like a strange adornment weaved into a "coiffure" design. Difficulty Level 5 At first glance it looks like there is only one ring hanging from the grid but there are in fact two rings attached with a magnetic force. Can you separate the rings from the grid and return them to their original positions? The object is to slide the photos around until you can get the overall picture! Dissect one larger photo and watch the fun as people try to put it together. Or just use it for 8 different photos. Puzzle Photo Frame holds 8 photos 5cm x 5cm. DIFFICULTY RATING 3 The puzzle is to separate the eight pieces - if you can never do this puzzle it can always be used a a teapot stand. At first glance this puzzle appears to be an impossible object. In puzzle terms, an impossible object is a puzzle that will not come apart or looks physically impossible to make. For this type of puzzle, the puzzle is to determine how it was made in the first place. The Puzzle Sticks is NOT an impossible object. It will come apart without the use of force. Strategically placed magnets will either pull the puzzle pieces together or force them apart. The puzzle has the same 7 pieces as originally designed by Danish poet and writer Piet Hein in 1936. You think you know how to do the Soma Cube already? But are you ready for this new twist on an old favourite? We also sell other versions of the Soma cube. Click the links: Soma cube in wooden Box Soma Cube on wood & glass Stand Both patience and skill are needed when positioning the 12 odd-shaped wooden pieces back within the frame.

The Reality Check Election
Column: How Romney lost on culture and economics
Republicans (and I) thought the 2008 election was a fluke. We thought the Obama coalition of minorities, young people, and white liberals had been brought together under unusual circumstances: the unpopularity of the Bush presidency, the war in Iraq, and the recession and financial crisis. The 2010 midterms, in which the Obama coalition did not appear and Republicans had their best performance in decades, supported this assumption. A combination of GOP enthusiasm and a lackluster economy would spell trouble for Obama's reelection. Obama would not be able to replicate his 2008 performance. His voters would not show up. We were wrong.

This new report by The Campaign Finance Institute reveals that the main federal campaign finance agency, the Federal Election Commission, has not adequately exploited the potential of instantaneous electronic filing, searchable databases and user-friendly Web sites. As a result, the new technology's promise of getting accurate and timely information about candidates to the public is not being fulfilled.

Big theater sound can come from small speakers—if they're good speakers with a good subwoofer. Audioholics took a look at a new system from well-respected brand Bowers and Wilkins. The MT-50 combines five M-1 satellite speakers and an 8" 100 watt subwoofer.
Audioholics liked a lot of things about this system, starting with the clever way the speaker conceals the wire connections, so there's nothing sloppy about the installed look of the speakers. The reviewer also liked all the connection and adjustment options on the ASW608 subwoofer.
Overall Audioholics said the system sounded "a lot bigger than it is" in movies. The system also did a good job with music, but needed a little tweaking.

Vina Robles Winery » Profile
We craft wines that represent a stylistic bridge between the Old and New worlds, capturing the finesse associated with European wines while celebrating the bold natural flavors of our estate vineyards in Paso Robles. Here, owner proprietor Hans Nef and managing partner Hans-R. Michel bring their Swiss heritage to California's Central Coast, where they aim to unite the best of both experiences.
We specialize in varieties that excel in the complex soils and nuanced microclimates of Paso Robles, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Syrah, Petite Sirah, Viognier, Sauvignon Blanc and others. We also embrace unconventional blends as an opportunity to create wines of distinctive quality and character.
Our winemaking approach emphasizes structure and balance, harnessing our rich Paso Robles fruit with grace and food friendliness. The resulting wines exhibit ripe flavors with polished tannins and fresh natural acidity.
The Vina Robles story begins in 1997, when the Nef family planted the first of what would become four estate vineyards in Paso Robles—Jardine, Pleasant Valley, Creston Valley and Huerhuero. Today, the cornerstone of our estate program is Huerhuero Vineyard, where the rolling oak-studded hills reach an elevation of 1,030 feet. This site boasts multidimensional growing conditions that enable us to optimize the ripening of each varietal.
A fifth vineyard, Adelaida Springs Ranch, was recently added. Here, in the rugged coastal mountains at an elevation of 1,700 feet, 12 miles from the Pacific, we grow Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot for our award-winning Suendero blend and other Cuvée Collection wines.
Our wines are available across the United States and overseas, and can be enjoyed at our hospitality center in the heart of the Paso Robles wine country, where we host a variety of public and private events throughout the year, including weddings, business meetings, concerts and wine appreciation seminars. Please visit us soon to experience the Vina Robles difference.

I'm trying to extract text from a .dwg file and importing it into excel. I do not have autrocad.
Is this even possible? Are there any other ways of taking a table from a .dwg file and importing it into excel?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Am I able to group the text together? Right now I am using "list" to get each line of text individually and copying and pasting it to excel.
Not really: see in AutoCAD you have three types of "text": single line (as the name implies, each line is unique), Mtext (paragraph style) and attributes (which can be one of the other). The viewer does not have the tools to try and grab all the variations to export, or to let you copy/paste, more than one of these at a time (and no ability to convert them like AutoCAD).
Ok, thank you for your help.

Montgomery Motorsports Park Track Officials Make Extra Safety Precautions For Racers
Concussions and brain injuries aren't just for football. They're placed high on the list of major safety concerns on the racetrack, as well. Last weekend, 25 cars piled up at Talladega Super Speedway before the final turn. And the result was a crash and concussion for number 88 Chevrolet driver -- Dale Earnhardt Jr. "Everytime you get in the car, you're going to be scared and shake all the way until you get to the other end and just pray until you get to the other end cause like I said, you know, this might be my last time getting in the car," said racer, Deramus Dorsey. And it's a fear many drivers have on the track, which is why the Montgomery Motorsports Park is taking extra safety precautions to prevent any injuries. "We have certain SFI rated seat belt helmets. In our really fast cars, they wear HANS device, just like they would in Nascar. Of course, we don't do any left turns here. It's all straight, but it's... these guys are traveling close to 200 miles an hour," Said Montgomery Motor Sports track owner, Jim Howard. And the rules say suiting up goes for both the driver and their vehicle. To help prevent head injuries, drivers must wear neck collars, seatbelts, and of course -- their helmet. Rules racers like, Kayla McClain, doesn't take lightly. "These are the ISP pads, if you roll over they protect you from beating up your head and all that good stuff. My builder got hurt in a wreck really bad so he started putting these in all his cars," Said the 19-year old Florida racer, McClain. This week, thousands of drivers and fans will be out here for the annual million dollar race, and track officials say they're taking extra precautions by bringing in more medical assistance. |
