Gordon Brown should apologise to the families of the victims of the Lockerbie bomber
The Telegraph today confirms what had been suspected for some time – that the Labour government led by Gordon Brown was complicit in the release of convicted Libyan terrorist Abdelbaset Ali al-Megrahi. As The Telegraph reports, with new evidence based on documents released by Wikileaks:
A Foreign Office minister sent Libyan officials detailed legal advice on how to use Abdelbaset al-Megrahi's cancer diagnosis to ensure he was released from a Scottish prison on compassionate grounds.
… The Libyans closely followed the advice which led to the controversial release of Megrahi – who was convicted of the murder of 270 passengers on Pan Am Flight 103 – within months of the Foreign Office's secret intervention.
The disclosure seriously undermines British Government claims that it was not complicit in the release of al-Megrahi, and that the decision to free the convicted terrorist was taken by the Scottish Executive alone.
Contrast this with Gordon Brown's emphatic denial of his government's involvement at a Downing Street Press Conference following the Lockerbie bomber's release in August 2009:
I was both angry and I was repulsed by the reception that a convicted bomber guilty of a huge terrorist crime received on his return to Libya… When I met Colonel Gaddafi over the summer, I made it absolutely clear to him that we had no role in making the decision about Megrahi's future. Because it was a quasi-judicial matter, because it was a matter legislated for by the Scottish parliament and not by us, it was a matter over which we could not interfere and had no control over the final outcome.
You can watch the video of Brown's press conference here.
In light of the latest evidence to emerge, Gordon Brown's statement may go down in history as one of the biggest whoppers told by a British Prime Minister in the 21st Century. It is surely time for the former PM to take responsibility for the shameful actions of his government over Lockerbie, and issue an unequivocal apology to the families of the victims of the PanAm bombing.
At the same time, David Cameron should call for the release of all British government documents relating to the release of the Lockerbie bomber, and announce an independent inquiry into the whole sordid affair. As Cameron himself declared in September 2009 as Leader of the Opposition:
Tonight the British Government stands accused – and indeed the Prime Minister stands accused – of double dealing: on the one hand, saying to the Americans they wanted Megrahi to die in prison, but on the other hand saying privately to the Libyans that they wanted him released. Now we've got to get to the bottom of this. The British Prime Minister has got to be straight with the British people. For weeks he has been refusing to say publicly what he wanted to happen to Megrahi. Yet we learn apparently, privately the message was being given to the Libyans that he should be released.
I don't think we can now trust the Government to get to the bottom of this so I think the time has come for an independent inquiry led by a former permanent secretary or former judge to find out what more papers need to be released so we can see what the British Government was doing in our name.
As I noted in an earlier piece, the release of the Lockerbie bomber was an affront to the families of the 270 people killed in the bombing of PanAm Flight 103 in December 1988, including 149 Americans and 43 Britons. Their killer is now a free man, living in the lap of luxury in Tripoli, feted by Colonel Gaddafi's brutal regime. The British government owes it to the victims of Lockerbie and their families to establish the full facts behind the shameful release of a mass-murdering terrorist. And it is now time for Gordon Brown and several of his key ministers to finally be held to account.

My Ice Bucket Challenge
About 12 years ago my mother called me and said that when jogging the last days she had felt a sticky feeling in her toe and that she had the weirdest feeling that something was wrong and was now going to the hospital to check it out. I remember thinking she was acting hypochondric.
The day efter I was called to the hospital to be with her when they told her she had ALS and only a few years left to live. It seemed so unreal at the moment, we were laughing on our way home, saying how could it ever be possible for someone to die from a numb toe. Now I know, she died two years later. ALS is a fatal, cruel disease with no cure.
The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge is amazing and are spreading the awareness in a fantastic way. I can't bring myself to dump ice on my head, this is still way to sad for me but I challenge all my friends and readers, please help fighting for a cure. Dump ice and donate!

"Stanford will receive the 2009-10 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup for overall athletic excellence in the NCAA's Division I on Oct. 23 [2011], the 16th consecutive season the Cardinal have won that honor...." [emphasis added]That must be one of the most incredible records in sports, since Stanford is competing with all the other NCAA Division I schools for this honor -- every year, and yet, for the last 16 years, Stanford has always won. THAT is excellence.
I should add, as a Stanford Law School alum, that I am of course biased on this matter, but then again, I have nothing to do with the giving of the award.

I am not sure this is the correct forum for this but here goes. I want o be able to dual boot a suite of Mac's with WIndows 7. I have managed to get this working on a MAcbook by using the Boot Camp assistant but i have not tried it on a complete suite. I am hoping someone can give me an idiots guide to doing this. I Know how to get it working on one stand alone Mac but what about a room full? DO you have to go through the same process on 30 Macs? Can you do just one and them find some clonign software to clone the HDD and use it on all the others?
Sorry for what may be basic questions but i have not much experience with this kind of thing with Mac's and OSX

Long time reader, first time poster. Quick question about Rangers 10 Packs.
I purchased the 10 Pack very early and thus qualified for "early redemption" via mail. I sent 6 of my vouchers in shortly after the first allowed date in mid-January, but have yet to receive the actual tickets. Has anyone received tickets yet, or know when we can expect to receive them?
I just moved back to DFW after two years back east - can't wait to get back out to the Ballpark. Is this 75 words yet?

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The governor's office in the Michigan Capitol building will be named for former Gov. John Engler if a new bill becomes law.
Republican Rep. Pete Lund of Macomb County's Shelby Township said Wednesday that naming the office for Engler is appropriate because what Engler did to change the direction of Michigan "was incredible and cannot be overstated."
Engler, a Republican, served from 1991 through 2002.
Governors mostly work out of their office in a building across the street from the Capitol. But they sometimes meet with lawmakers and hold news conferences in the Capitol office.
Lund says the inspiration for his bill came when legislators voted in a bipartisan fashion to name the walkway between the Capitol building and the Hall of Justice for former Democratic Attorney General Frank Kelley.

Group A. The Group of Death. The Group Which All Journalists Had Figured Out. Of course it would be Manchester City taking the top spot -- with all their splashy purchases, how could anyone else even get a look in? Bayern Munich would take the second slot -- they're a big name, after all, a regular in the Champions League, runners up just two years previous. As for Napoli and Villarreal, well, each had one decent player (Edinson Cavani, Giuseppe Rossi), so it was anyone's guess who'd make it into the Europa League.
Well. Look who's laughing now. That's right, it's the entire city of Naples. The partenopei faithful are still riding high from the last round, when a brace from Cavani gave them a win over City, bumping them up to second place in the group. And so, it all comes down to this: Napoli must win at Villarreal on Wednesday. Sure, Manchester City could fail to beat Bayern, Napoli could lose and they'd still go through to the next round -- but this team shouldn't leave its destiny to others. Taking all three points is vital.*
Villarreal, on the other hand, have absolutely nothing to play for, unless pride is counted as "something." The Yellow Submarine have earned no points in the group, and the loss of Rossi to long-term injury certainly hasn't helped their situation. Yet football clubs often do see pride as a tangible thing, and finding just one point, particularly against high-flying Napoli, could very well be the home side's goal on Wednesday.
But can that goal be achieved? Villarreal's woes don't stop at the Champions League. They sit 15th in La Liga, having won just three matches, and fell 1-0 to Racing Santander at the weekend. In the CL, they've yet to score at home. Napoli may not be doing as well as they'd like in Serie A, currently sitting fifth, but at least they've started to look once again like the dominant side they were last season.
And therein lies the danger for the Yellow Submarine. Last week against Lecce, Walter Mazzarri tinkered with his team, giving starters like Paolo Cannavaro, Walter Gargano, and Marek Hamsik a chance to rest. But by the 67th minute, both Gargano and Hamsik had been added to the mix, leaving Mazzarri with his preferred front seven. While Lecce did manage a last-minute goal, the Holy Trinity looked better than ever. Cavani's second goal was a product of the complete synchronicity of the azzurri front three: Hamsik grabbed the ball in the middle of the pitch (from Cavani, actually, playing on the other side of the halfway line, bless), sending it on to Lavezzi, who was racing like a madman along the left flank. Pocho slid the ball across the face of goal, where an onrushing Cavani stuck out a toe to poke the ball in.
It's moments like those that perfectly encapsulate the pace, power, and beauty of this Napoli side. If they're clicking, they're unstoppable. Play like they did at the weekend, and the partenopei won't need to rely on what's going on between City and Bayern.
*if nothing else, only to make sure the author's liver and glassware collection survive intact.

Since the initial post received some interest, I figured I would scan and post some of the more notable buildings in the book.
Clicking on any of the pictures opens them up to full screen.
The Old, Old Main - makes sense that the building that replaced this one was just called Main building since it replaced Old Main, although the current "Old Main' name bucks the naming trend.
In the book, most every building's picture is prefaced with a description like the one below.
A large and commodious structure if I've ever seen one.
The railroad tracks mentioned by Professor Cairo in the first post.
Amazing that the Obelisk has stood the test of 100 years of virgins passing by.
There aren't any pictures of the men's lodgings, but perhaps to put some of the parents at ease, the college chose to include a picture of where the ladies live on campus.
Nothing to see here, please disperse. Wild nights on College Ave - not so much.
An unemcumbered view of Mt. Nittany.
I'm still working on the 1902 campus map and a few other items to finish up in a 3rd post. There are about 8 fraternity houses featured as well - If there are any Greeks interested I'll post those.

UPDATE: MOSES LAKE, Wash. (11JULY2013) - A bomb threat Thursday morning called into the Grant
County International Airport caused the evacuation of the terminal and the
lockdown of neighboring schools and offices.
Airport officials received the call about 8:45 a.m. The airport activated its emergency plan and notified the Grant County Sheriff's Office. A cursory walk through search by deputies did not uncover any suspicious materials, and a bomb detection dog and handler from the Grand Coulee Police Department responded. No bombs or suspicious materials were found, and the lockdowns were lifted around 11:15 a.m.
Air traffic was not interrupted. The Grant County Sheriff's Office is investigating.
BREAKING: The Grant County International Airport in Moses Lake received a bomb threat this morning at 8:45am. The airport initiated their emergency plan which included notifying the Grant County Sheriff's Office and neighboring institutions such as Big Bend Community College and Job Corps. BBCC and Job Corp are on lock down as a precaution. The tarmac in front of the main terminal at the airport has been shut down but right now there have been no interruptions to air traffic at the airport.

The Desire 510 is HTC's cheapest 4G phone yet, with Category 4 LTE speed and a cool DotView case.

Verizon subscribers can't beat the polished-metal HTC One Remix for value and style.
The One E8 offers the high-end HTC experience in glossy colors and a plastic case, but without a unique selling point, there's little reason to buy this expensive device.
The HTC Desire 610 may be affordable, with an iPhone 5C-style plastic body, but its mediocre specs and poor screen resolution mean it's still not a good buy. For much less money you can grab the 4G Motorola Moto G, which has the same processor, Android KitKat software and a higher resolution display.
While it has its sound limitations, particularly in the bass department, the downsized version of Scosche's BoomBottle H2O is a pretty decent little wireless speaker that's travel-friendly and repels water.
With its slick metal body, the HTC One Mini 2 is among the most luxurious compact phones around. HTC, however, has given it a set of specs that put it more alongside the dirt-cheap Moto G than the One M8. This is definitely not the flagship One M8 in a more compact form. If style is of the utmost importance, it's worth checking out, but the Moto G is much better value.
Unless you need a great deal on earbuds, there's no reason to buy the HTC One M8 Harman Kardon Edition.
The HTC Desire 816's combination of solid design and quality performance strikes all the right chords to make it a compelling phone for its price.

The inflammation and swelling of the fluid-filled sacs around a joint is medically called bursitis. These fluid filled joints are scientifically termed "bursa". These pockets of fluid filled sacs or "bursa," aid in the lubrication during locomotion and are very important for a healthy physical life, these sacs that provide lubrication to the joints sometimes become inflamed and due to this reason a severe pain during movement or physical activity may ensue. All joints within the human body are not equally affected and the joints of the shoulders, the elbows, the knees and Achilles' tendons are known to be the most vulnerable in cases of bursitis. Bursitis as such has other names and some of them include frozen shoulder symptom, the notorious tennis elbow and cases of bunions all make up good examples of bursitis and in addition may often involve tendinitis as well. Some of the physical manifestations of bursitis along with the obvious discomfort are a typical inflammatory sign, which may include the reddening of the skin and the swelling and tenderness in the affected area. With careful bed rest, mitigation of the symptoms and healing does not usually take longer than two weeks and some of the symptoms may even disappear within days.
The condition of bursitis is often caused and comes about by an injury sustained at the joints or the presence of repetitive stress to the joint, as in hard labor or exercise that concentrates only on a particular area of the body. Bursitis can also come along with other illnesses, for example, it can occur symptomatically with arthritis at the same time, it can also be caused due an infection sustained, it can come about due to the deposition of some minerals in the joints, a good example would be as a result of calcium deposits that can cause friction along the joints. Some nutrients are essential in the human diet and one of them is glucosamine, it is a nutrient that is found occurring naturally in the human body, with a heavy presence in cartilaginous tissues and the cartilage between joints as such. Chemically speaking it is essentially a combination of glucose and an amine, while glucose is a naturally occurring essential sugar in the body, an amine is a derivative of ammonia, containing nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in its molecular buildup. As the human body ages, there is a loss of muscle and bone mass, and at the same time with aging, a lot of the cartilage inside the body loses glucosamine and thins out, this is one of the major reasons that leads to joint pain and stiffness and the first signs of the possible development of bursitis, indeed the first signs of the development of bursitis are often a slow and steady occurrence of stiffness and swelling in the joints. There are conditions of weather involved in the equation and one of this is an overexposure to a colder climate, cold weather has a marked affect on joints and a decrease in the weather shows the joints to have a slight but noticeable predisposition to inflammation and soreness. The other physical causes of bursitis as one of its variants, also called the Achilles' tendon is purely artificial and it is common among young women as a result of poor shoe selection, high heels and tight fitting shoes can cause this kind of bursitis. Achilles' tendon manifests itself due to physical trauma sustained by the heels as in cases where the hard back of the shoe presses continually against the tendon just above the heel, the tendon is always opposed by a hard physical object and this has a huge strain on the tendon affecting it adversely and leading to the aforementioned form of bursitis also known as Achilles heels or tendon syndrome. Another effect of improper footwear is the physical illness known as bunions, which are also often associated with bursitis as a result of inappropriate strain on the feet. Though most of the initial symptoms of bursitis are harmless aside from a slight discomfort and usually dissipate after a good period of rest, there is a possibility of bursitis becoming chronic, and recurring frequently if the joints continue to undergo a repeated strain and overuse due to physical effort or through artificial agencies such as footwear. There are no immediate and quick cures for bursitis but some of the herbal remedies can and should be tried out, as they have proved effective in lessening the pain caused due to swelling and inflammation.
Supplements and herbs
The best supplements that can be included in the diet to lessen symptoms of bursitis are, vitamins like ascorbic acid or as it is more commonly known vitamin C and other flavones essential to diet like the bioflavonoids can help reduce the physical manifestations of bursitis like, the inflammation and pain that comes suddenly to the joints, these compounds while being organic and natural also aid greatly in recovery and speed up the healing process. Bioflavonoids act in a similar way and improve the rate of vitamin C absorption in the body, and are thus essential supplements in the fight against bursitis. Vitamins A and E respectively are also helpful in mitigating the worst effects of bursitis, minerals and ions are also essential to the body in its fight against the symptoms of bursitis and the common and useful mineral like silica, has a great impact on connective tissue repair and healing.
Additional things you may do
There are other treatment options for persistent symptoms of bursitis such as pulsed electromagnetic therapy which is a highly recommended treatment to eliminate pain, it may also help and is reported to aid in an increase in blood circulation. An increase in the circulation of blood is very helpful because the more blood that flows into the affected area means a lot more of nutrients flows to that area. In and during the acute stages of chronic bursitis, the best and most effective remedy is to immediately rest and immobilize the affected part or the joint. Gently moving the affected part after the acute symptoms subside can aid greatly in minimizing pain and recurrence and eventually in the recovery of the affected part. Another quick and easy remedy is the application of hot potato or cabbage leaf packs to promote healing and pain minimization. An application of cider vinegar compresses relieves pain and stiffness in the joints the best way to do this is by placing a protective pad on the affected area to minimize the effects of friction and stress on the joints.

What's the point of this Karma system anyways? Is it to encourage people to be civil in the forums or what? I've read some interesting and helpful posts from people with a lot of bad Karma and it makes me wonder why they have it. I just assume people click bad Karma if they don't agree with something they may have read, but who knows.
basically, I think you will find most people very very helpfull on this site, plenty of strong opinions and sometime heated discussions, but overall its a massive pool of knowledge and experience that can be tapped very quickly.

Kristin Kelly
Racial Disparity Project
Seattle, Wash.
Kristin Kelly is interning at the Racial Disparity Project (RDP), a grant-funded project at the Defender Association aimed at reducing racial bias in criminal justice through community organization, public education, and legal advocacy.
July 1, 2013
I scored an internship with The Racial Disparity Project (RDP). The RDP at The Defender Association began in 1999 as a grant-funded project aimed at reducing racial bias in criminal justice through community organization, public education, and legal advocacy. Since 2001, RDP has focused primarily on racially disproportionate drug enforcement in Seattle and reducing the harm caused by current law enforcement approaches, working in close alliance with grassroots organizations that serve Seattle's communities of color. My position at the RDP is a combination of policy work and assisting with civil and criminal cases where a legal fellow at RDP provides individual representation to LEAD participants.
One of the most exciting projects I have worked on so far was the Jobs Assistance Legislation, which was passed by the Seattle City Council on June 10, 2013. Several organizations were working together to pass legislation that would remove the box on job applications asking employees if they have been convicted of a felony. The legislation also sought to reinforce that it is unlawful to advertise that no convicted felons or criminal convictions could apply for the position posted and to prohibit employers from performing a background check until after initial screening. The proposed legislation also required the position to remain open for 48 hours to allow the applicant to explain the circumstance or show that he/she is not the one convicted of that crime.
I was allowed to participate in meetings with Seattle City Council members to report compromises that had been reached with the business sector and discuss remaining concerns, in getting community members to share their experiences at the City Council meeting and ultimately, and in celebrating the legislation's passing. It was such an amazing experience to see the process that these great organizations go through to advance social justice and public interest.
The Jobs Assistance Legislation was very important to me because I personally know many individuals who have paid their debt to society but are unable to integrate back into society. Intelligent, hard-working, and rehabilitated individuals were immediately rejected without an opportunity to show their skills or explain their circumstances.
Some other projects I have been able to support include the LEAD program (Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion), an innovative pre-booking diversion program for low-level drug offenses, which was implemented in 2011; the Community Police Commission, an advisory body that provides guidance on numerous issues related to police reform, as part of the implementation of the consent decree between the Department of Justice and the City of Seattle; and right now, I am performing policy research with regard to the constitutionality of city ordinances that criminalize homelessness and prohibit public camping.
This summer, I have been inspired by the good work the RDP is involved in and I feel fortunate to witness and take part in the necessary change that they are working so hard for. This kind of work is truly why I went to law school and I am excited to be a part of these changes one day in the near future.

Right off the top, let me emphasize the "amateur" tag. I've never broken down any game film in my life, so be gentle in comments.
I have watched a helluva lot of football in my life, though, so I got that goin' for me...
Before I begin the breakdown, just a few observations on the relative similarities of the two teams' seasons. As has been noted, when comparing score differentials of common opponents, they are almost identical. I wanted to go a step further, though, and compare the win/loss records of the entire schedules of each team, excluding, of course, the GOTC, and the SEC championship game(with the assumption that Bama would have done just as well).
LSU's slate of opponents had a combined record of 73-59, with 4 teams with losing records, 2 with break-even records, and 5 teams with winning records.
Alabama's, OTOH, went 72-61, also with 4 losing records, 3 break-even, and 4 winning.
Now, with the breakdown. This is the first time I have watched the replay because it was too painful before knowing whether we would get another shot against them.
The first drive started well, TR left for 15, then a 25 yd completion on the left side. Then we lost 5 going left again, picked up 8 on a pass to the right side, 4th down. Watching LSU's defense, they kept 9 to 10 guys within 6 yards of the line of scrimmage, but didn't blitz, with the possible exception of a run blitz on the 5 yd loss running left. We also picked up our first illegal substitution penalty to help kill the drive.
Second possession started on our 5 yard line, but AJ made a good read and hit Maze across the middle for 20 on third down and we got a penalty for horsecollar tackle. Cool beans! We then picked up another first down on a pass to the right side, ran left a couple more times with medium success, then ran right for 20 yard gain. Looking good!
Then, it bogs down, up the middle for 1, left for negative 5, incomplete pass, another missed FG. LSU started blitzing more here, both run and pass, to shut us down.
The third possession really hurt me to watch again. Twenty yard gain on a pass to the left, beating the honey vager again. After an incompletion, TR goes up the middle for 10. Inside the 20! Then, we lose 6 yards on a botched reverse to Maze. I had to watch that play about 4-5 times to see what went wrong. Maze was lined up to the right, as was the TE and, most critically, Trent, lined up in the backfield to the right of AJ. LSU's defense was lined up heavily to the strong side, so a well executed reverse would likely have scored. But Maze accidentally trips over Trent's foot, and falls down for the loss.
Oh, the horror. Go watch it and grab a box of kleenex on the way.
AJ gets sacked, then we miss a FG. CRAP!
LSU is still mixing in some blitzes here, but not as much as we are.
Fourth possession again starts at our 5 yard line thanks to that little skipping girly boy from Australia.(Side note-How could that country produce both Wing AND Jesse?), but we run our way out going up the gut a few times, getting 9 on the right side(moving Barrett to that side) then AJ finds TR on a blown assignment by LSU up the left side for 60 yards. The next pass is to Williams on the right side for no gain. HV makes the stop, but if AJ gets that pass out quicker, Williams has another first down. LSU shows Heavy Run Blitz on 2nd down, so of course, AJ checks out of a run up the middle, right?
Uh, no. Up the middle, no gain. Crap. Third and 10.
And then comes the play that had Saban spitting nails. AJ drops back to pass, throwing the fade to a well covered Hanks on the right side, while Brandon Gibson had slipped out to the left flat and was all alone and likely would have scored.
But at least this time we make the FG. GREAT!
Then, the defense allows LSU their only real drive of the half and makes it's only noticeable mistake on the 37 yard pass inside our 10. We were fortunate to escape with only giving up the FG after Dre was called for defensive holding and LSU had it 1st and goal at the 2. But the Bama defense bowed up, and thankfully LSU had burned all but one of their timeouts.
End of half.
The biggest things that stood out to me were the poor decisions AJ made. He threw the ball well, but he didn't always throw it to the right receiver. He also must be able to check out of a bad play at the line of scrimmage when he spots a blitz coming. I realize he is a sophomore first-year starter at QB, but if we hope to win the rematch, he must make better decisions
We left at least 17 points on the field the first time. That can't happen again.
Sorry, I know this is a long-ass, tl;dr, kind of article and my arms are hurting, but I just had to share.
Feel free to point out my senility/stupidity in the comments below.

The most we can ask for is to be able to gaze out at the abyss and laugh.

TD Waterhouse Tower Strikes Gold
Property Awarded CaGBC LEED® Gold EB: O&M Certification
Toronto, ON (Aug 15, 2011) - The Cadillac Fairview Corporation Limited is proud to announce that the TD Waterhouse Tower (79 Wellington Street West) at the Toronto-Dominion Centre has attained LEED(R) Gold Certification under the Existing Buildings: Operations and Maintenance category, presented by the Canada Green Building Council.
This award marks a special accomplishment for TD Centre as we have been working diligently to exceed several environmental and operational benchmarks that we know will benefit our valued clients.
Cadillac Fairview has long been committed to environmental stewardship at Toronto-Dominion Centre, and it's great to see the hard work of our team recognized in this way. Achieving LEED® Gold is a testament to architect Mies van der Rohe's timeless design of the TD Centre and our commitment to preserving this while offering uncompromising service, comfort and energy efficiency to the 21,000 people that call TD Centre home every day.
The LEED® Gold certification helps to set TD Centre apart from its competitors and prove that greening of an existing building of this quality is both the smart thing and the right thing to do.
In order to achieve LEED® Gold EB: O&M Certification, TD Centre had to meet strict, measurable benchmarks and earn credits in five categories - Sustainable sites, Water efficiency, Energy & Atmosphere, Materials & Resources, Indoor Environmental Quality.
This prestigious certification was achieved through a long history of enhancements to the property with operating efficiency in mind, and through Cadillac Fairview's national GREEN AT WORK™ program. GREEN AT WORK™ is a detailed, measurable and long-term proprietary program implemented at all company properties that sets operational benchmarks to reduce energy consumption and waste, improves environmental protection, encourages sustainable procurement and ongoing communication with key stakeholders.
The following initiatives helped TD Centre to meet the standards of the five LEED® categories:
The Occupant Engagement Program™- Through its unique Occupant Engagement Program™ (OEP), Cadillac Fairview is reviewing its operations in a unique way by creating a comprehensive program to encourage and actively engage tenants to help meet progressive consumption and meet eco-friendly standards.
- Energy Reduction- The TD Centre has reduced its overall energy use by 6 per cent since 2008 by installing automatic lighting controls, state-of-the-art building automation controls, real-time energy monitoring and lighting retrofits.
- Enwave Deep Lake Water Cooling- In 2004, the TD Centre was connected to the energy and cooling abilities of the water from Lake Ontario. This upgrade replaced 13,000 tons of chiller capacity and reduced electrical consumption by 90 per cent of the electricity previously used by the chillers.
- Electricity Submetering Systems - Installed on every office floor, the system allows tenants to log in, view, and manage their individual and specific energy use.
- Reduced water usage by 8 per cent- In 2009 water consumption for the TD Centre decreased by 8 per cent thanks to washroom fixtures with low consumption, auto valve controls, aerators on water faucets, and regular water audits.
- Sustainable Construction and Infrastructure- Through sustainable purchasing, construction is supervised at its infancy, using specific building materials that minimize waste and air contamination. In doing so, Cadillac Fairview is proactively supervising its green initiatives and ensuring that each project follows the criteria from start to finish.
- Transportation - As part of its dedication to environmental action and ongoing greening, the TD Centre is directly linked with the PATH, downtown Toronto's underground walkway which links 27 kilometers of shopping, services and entertainment; facilitating pedestrian links to public transit for 100,000 commuters, daily. Cadillac Fairview's TD Centre has also partnered with Zipcar, a car sharing program in its own parking lot levels to encourage green transportation. In addition, the property has bike racks to provide public bicycle parking for more than 400 bicycles.
Cadillac Fairview has already achieved LEED® Gold EB certification through the U.S. Green Building Council at its Simcoe Place office tower, and LEED® Gold NC for its innovative new RBC Centre building located in downtown Toronto that has been described as Toronto's greenest office tower.
About the TD Centre
The Toronto-Dominion Centre is one of North America's largest business communities and home to 21,000 office employees. Due to its visionary design, unequaled size, and central location, this cultural landmark has played a significant role in the success of a generation of Canada's most innovative and extraordinary business leaders. The TD centre consists of six buildings: Toronto Dominion Bank Tower, 77 King Street West, 100 Wellington Street West, TD Waterhouse Tower, Ernst & Young Tower and 95 Wellington Street West.
About Cadillac Fairview

Joyner Library Responds to Student Demand with Trial 24/5 Schedule
GREENVILLE, N.C. (8/15/2013) Joyner Library responds to student demand with trial 24/5 operating schedule for the 2013-14 academic year.
Beginning August 19 and continuing through the spring semester, Joyner Library will be open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week. This pilot initiative is a result of student demand for expanded hours to work on assignments, use library resources, collaborate on group projects, and complete an array of other academic tasks. With the extended hours, the library opens at 10:00 a.m. on Sunday and remains open until closing at 9:00 p.m. on Friday.
After 11:00 p.m., an ECU OneCard is required for entry. At 2:00 a.m. the basement, second and third floors are closed for housekeeping and reduced staffing, however the first floor remains open overnight. The second and third floors reopen at 7:30 a.m. Security staff are present during all operating hours.
According to Mark Sanders, assistant director for Public Services, "We are committed to being responsive to our patrons' needs and 24 hour access is one of the requests we most frequently receive from students. We will monitor the hourly building use data during the overnight period of the fall and spring semesters to see if it supports making 24/5 access permanent. I'm hopeful it will."
"After sharing the news with my roommate she was more than excited about the 24/5 access to Joyner. I'm certain she'll utilize this resource to her advantage and she will benefit greatly!" says Cortney Hagans, senior Accounting major.
Joyner Library's complete operating hours can be found at http://www.ecu.edu/cs-lib/libhours.cfm. Operating hours are reduced during breaks, intercession periods, and the summer semesters.
Fossil Exhibit at Joyner Library: "Paleontology of Eastern North Carolina"
Through August 31st, the North Carolina Collection at J. Y. Joyner Library is exhibiting fossils from Eastern North Carolina. The fossils are from the private collections of William O'Neal and Jay Holley. They have been collected over a period of roughly forty years. Mr. Holley is a geologist and instructor who provided technical expertise as well as fossils. The fossils on display are examples of the kind of items that can be found in local waterways, quarries, and other excavations. There are also explanatory materials from books and electronic resources that can be accessed through Joyner Library.
The fossils are from a wide date range. The oldest are from the Cretaceous Period, and can be as old as sixty-five million years plus. The youngest are from the Quaternary Period, the Pleistocene Epoch, or the age of large land mammals. These can be as old as 1.8 million years. The primary fossil bearing sediments from the region are marine in nature. The Coastal Plain has not always been dry land. The sands and clays of the area offer ready evidence of the abundance of sea creatures. Limestone from the Southern part of the state tells the same story.
The exhibit can be viewed on the third floor of Joyner Library in the North Carolina Collection. Tours can be arranged, and school groups are welcome. Further information can be obtained at 328-6601 or email@example.com .

Wall Street Journal Profiles Jon Jones, Secures Epic Victory via Jinx for Shogun Rua
The Wall Street Journal profiled Jon Jones, identifying him as a potential 'Transcendent Star' for the sport. This officially completes the cosmic jinx that will allow Shogun to beat Jon Jones by brutal TKO. The UFC is already running a TV special devoted to Jones. It's as if the whole world is already celebrating his victory. Well, my sources are telling me that the MMA Gods will turn UFC 128 into the second coming of the Jake Shields/Dan Henderson Strikeforce fight, where the ignored underdog champion gets the last laugh.

cold weather is no problem, but when it gets moisty in a cold barn, then you're fucked.
there should be enough warmth in there to keep condens and stuff outside, you don't want to have (how do you call it, daw? ) water drops on your amps/speakers/everything.
I've also got all our stuff stacked in a barn we rehearse in, amps and PA, mixer everything, but that barn is pretty well isolated.. we do throw blankets on the amps.
I think electronics can stand the cold verry well but you don't want to expose your guitar or bass to cold/hot weather changes, it's really bad for the neck etc.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSArts And Bots Camp Wraps Up At MU
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported by: Elizabeth Noreika
Reported: Jun. 26, 2014 5:16 PM EDT
Updated: Jun. 26, 2014 7:45 PM EDT
Huntington , Cabell County , West Virginia
Thursday was the final day for the Arts and Bots Camp at Marshall University.
It was sponsored by June Harless Center.
The kids wrapped up with a show and tell, with the students demonstrating what their robots can do to their friends and family.
During the last couple days, second through fifth graders learned about designing, building and programming the robots.
This year's camp had a superhero theme.

Obama to revive populist messageBy JULIE PACE
The Associated Press | February 12,2013WASHINGTON Reviving his populist re-election message, President Barack Obama will press a politically-divided Congress to approve more tax increases and fewer spending cuts during a State of the Union address focused on stabilizing the middle class and repairing the still-wobbly economy.
The agenda Obama will outline today before a joint session of Congress will include more money for infrastructure, clean energy technologies and manufacturing jobs, as well as expanding access to early childhood education.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said Obama would outline his plan to create jobs and grow the middle class as the nation struggles with persistently high unemployment.
Some of Obamas job ideas will be repackaged versions of proposals he made during his first term, though aides say there will be some new initiatives, too. All of the economic proposals are expected to echo themes from Obamas re-election campaign, which focused on using increased spending to generate jobs, protecting programs to help the middle class, and bringing down the deficit in part by culling more tax revenue from the wealthiest Americans.
Republicans have shown little sign of falling in line behind the president as he starts his second term, particularly when it comes to taxes.
Clearly the president wants more revenue for more government, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said in an interview. Hes gotten all the revenue hes going to get. Been there, done that.
The backdrop for Obamas address will be a March 1 deadline for averting automatic across-the-board spending cuts, known as the sequester. The president wants lawmakers to push that deadline back for a second time to create space for a larger deficit-reduction deal, one he hopes would include a balance of targeted cuts and increased tax revenue. Republicans want to offset the sequester with spending cuts alone.
As he addresses lawmakers and the American people, Obama is expected to say that government entitlement programs should be on the table in deficit reduction talks. But he will also make the case that programs that help the middle class, the poor and the elderly must be protected.
In keeping with that approach, the White House said Monday that Obama would not consider increasing the Medicare eligibility age as a way to reduce spending.
The presidents focus on the economy and deficit reflects the top concerns of many Americans. A Quinnipiac University poll out Monday showed than 35 percent of registered voters are most interested in hearing the president during the State of the Union address the economy, more than any other issue. The federal deficit came in second, with 20 percent saying that was the issue they were most interested in hearing Obama discuss.
The poll also suggested that the slow but steady economic gains throughout Obamas first term may not be trickling down to many Americans. More than 50 percent of registered voters said they thought the economy was still in a recession and 79 percent described the economy as not so good or poor.
Obama will also press Congress to support his proposals for overhauling the nations immigration laws and tighten gun measures, though his remarks on both issues are expected to break little new ground and largely reflect his previous statements.
Still, the White House and some lawmakers will aim to use the atmospherics of the annual address to Congress to rally support for stricter gun laws.
Some lawmakers, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, are bringing victims of gun violence and their families as their guests today. And Michelle Obama will be sitting with the parents of slain 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton, the Chicago teenager killed by gunfire days after performing in the inaugural parade.
Foreign policy will take a backseat to domestic issues, though Obama may discuss next steps for drawing down U.S. troops from Afghanistan and reducing the nations nuclear stockpile.
The administration has developed a consensus around cutting down to between 1,000 and 1,100 deployed weapons. While Obama is not expected to outline a specific number during his address, the administration wants to emphasize that it wants to work with Russia on mutually supporting moves toward weapons reductions below the ceiling of 1,550 set in the New START accord that took effect in 2011. The State Departments point person on nuclear arms control, Rose Gottemoeller, is in Moscow this week to consult on possible next steps.
The president will follow up his State of the Union address with three days of travel around the country. Hell start Wednesday in Asheville, N.C., where hell visit Linamar Corp., a supplier of engine and transmission components that has expanded its manufacturing operations.
Obama is expected to reiterate his calls for revitalizing the U.S. manufacturing sector, perhaps reviving his campaign pledge to create 1 million new manufacturing jobs during his second term. Following a sluggish 2012, manufacturing grew at a faster pace last month, driven by an increase in new orders and more hiring at factories.
On Thursday, Obama will press for expanded early childhood education, perhaps going so far as to call for universal pre-school, when he travels to the Atlanta area. Hell speak at the College Heights Early Childhood Learning Center, which offers programs for infant, toddler, preschool, and pre-kindergarten students.
The president will also speak about the economy and gun violence Friday in his hometown of Chicago.MORE IN Wire NewsPARIS Police are searching for a 5-year-old British boy with a severe brain tumor whose parents...

On track: Sport teaches speed, strength, self-reliance

Fast is good explosive is better. College coaches don't just want to know who is fast only that's for sure. I think track is great in development but very rarely in any sport are you running with perfect running form. You have to have a strength base to you and many other things then just running trackto be fast. Basketball you can't run with great form when your dribbling a basketball. It's about getting from point a to b at angles or how you use your body to do that. Chris Mullins wasn't the fastest player but he understood how to beat his players by movement and the understanding of angles. You can't make someone faster if they don't have the genetics to be fast. You can improve them that's a fact . If you get a good trainer who knows what they are talking about like many of the kids have its worth my money. It's about training the athlete to what that sports requires fast is always good but being explosive and having the ability to move in different directions at speed in small spaces while being efficient with body mechanics is better. I don't think track teaches you how to move in small areas or how to be agile. Scarpelli talks about paying for trainers when he is a crossfit instructor or was one who has/had his track kids pay for training. I don't know if he still does but he def did.

I think the point of the article is to identify track as a complimentary sport to many others. And put a period there.
To compare/contrast it to other training that has additional cost outside of the public school system is a whole separate article.
Track is a way to get cardio conditioning, reinforce neuromuscular memory, muscle strength and sheer training discipline (through your coach, your team and yourself) when your sport is on hiatus or in low gear or that can be done simultaneously. AND it is provided by the high school as a normal part of the year.
High school Track is a time honored sport that has complimented football(for instance) since I was a lad, and continues to be endorsed by the likes of the De La Salle football program.
A grass roots way to strive beyond what one may consider their primary sport.
To say that time is better spent with a trainer versus a second sport depends on the athlete and the objectives of that athlete. There is truth in the value of a trainer and their techniques but not to the exclusion of a multi-sport lifestyle.
Multiple sports lead to multiple athletic and life lessons. It can provide multiple perspectives on training technique and objectives. It can provide exposure to more athletes and coaches and their views and their character modelling.
I'm not saying that Mullin's myopic focus on basketball was bad for him, because alcoholism is multifactorial.
More sports leads to more better kids is a reasonable factoid.

Running hills is the greatest work out to build speed. We have the hills right here along foothill road. A lot of it is forty-five degrees up, the best conditioning. Get out, run up the ridge, three times week. In four to six weeks you will be amazed with your increased speed.

|Dragonbone Dagger
| Base Damage:
| Weight:
| Base Value:
|Class: One Handed, Dagger
|Upgrade Material: Dragon Bone
|Perk: Dragon Armor
|FormID: xx014FCB
The dragonbone dagger requires a Smithing level of 100 and the Dragon Armor perk to create. It can be forged at a blacksmith's forge with the following components:
- 1 x Dragon Bone
- 1 x Leather Strip
It can be upgraded with a dragon bone at a grindstone and also benefits from the Dragon Armor perk, which doubles the improvement.
- The dragonbone dagger can swing much faster than most other dragonbone weapons with just slightly less damage, making it a good choice for most builds, even non-thief ones.
- It is tied with the Blade of Woe for the dagger with the highest damage in the game, minus the Blade of Woe's enchantment. It, however, is much faster than the Blade of Woe, allowing for more damage per second.
