ROMAN Catholic priest Denis Faul – who came to prominence during the 1981 hunger strike – was described by the NIO as an "unguided moral missile", while a letter from another priest believed to be sympathetic to the IRA was described as "sectarian".
Monsignor Faul, who was the Catholic chaplain at the Maze during the hunger strike, was described in an NIO analysis as a "considerable thorn in our flesh".
An NIO official said the priest was sympathetic to the aims of republicans but had come to believe the hunger strikes were hopeless and tried to persuade their relatives to help end the protests:
"He was largely responsible for the revolt of the relatives in July that led to pressure being put on Gerry Adams to order the prisoners off their fast."
Republican prisoners' representative Fr Raymond Murray wrote to the NIO with criticism of the alleged lack of work or education opportunities in Armagh women's prison.
An NIO official described the December 1981 letter – which accused the government of being "barbarous in its cruelty" to the hunger strikers – as disappointingly and predictably negative and added: "It is narrow, sectarian and gratuitously offensive to the prison administration".
Fr Murray had said that the Government's "continued intransigence helps the IRA" but that "more humanity and compassion would help us to remove relatives from the influence of paramilitaries."

Daihachi Yoshida's simple yet poignant story explores the human geography and intense hierarchy of Japanese high school in the face of turmoil brought on by the disappearance of the unseen character Kirishima. From the elite athletes to the girls in the school band to the Movie Club nerds, all of the students find their lives in flux as they await the return of the mysterious and nearly legendary title character.
Rumours begin to fly about why Kirishima made his decision, leading to misunderstandings, confusion, and misguided anger amongst his peers. Meanwhile, Ryoya Maeda, head of the film club, decides that this is the time to make the movie of his dreams.
Based on the best-selling novel Kirishima, Bukatsu Yamerutteyo by Ryo Asai (2010), The Kirishima Thing tackles the subject of high school hierarchies and the experience of living in a tightly controlled social environment. Beautifully acted, written, and directed, the film is certainly deserving of the accolades it has received.
Daihachi Yoshida was born in Kagoshima in 1963. Yoshida's first feature, Funuke Show Some Love, You Losers (2007), was officially invited to International Critics' Week of the 60th Cannes International Film Festival and won the award for best new director at the 29th Yokohama Film Festival. Yoshida's flms also include The Wonderful World of Captain Kuhio (2009) and Permanent Nobara (2010).

Take a look at Apple's advertisements with regards to the iPad mini. Apple didn't want you to think the iPad mini as a smaller iPad. They want you to know that its the iPad's younger brother, capable of doing things it's brother can do, but at the same time, able to work along it side by side.
The iPad mini and the iPad are playing music in harmony, complementing each other.

Just like the Chinese, they also wear red dress during New Year which they also believe as a symbol of good luck. 12 grapes in 12 seconds, seems hard to do and eating this in front of your relatives which for sure will say jokes to make you laugh.

Objects that resemble faces are everywhere. Whether it's New Hampshire's erstwhile granite "Old Man of the Mountain," or Jesus' face on a tortilla, our brains are adept at locating images that look like faces. However, the normal human brain is almost never fooled into thinking such objects actually are human faces.
Face recognition is an important social skill, but not all of us are equally good at it," says Beijing Normal University cognitive psychologist Jia Liu. But what accounts for the difference? A new study by Liu and colleagues Ruosi Wang, Jingguang Li, Huizhen Fang, and Moqian Tian provides the first experimental evidence that the inequality of abilities is rooted in the unique way in which the mind perceives faces.
Have you ever been approached by someone whose face you recognise but whose name you can't remember? Neuroscientists at the University of Bristol have identified the reasons behind why we are, at times, unable to link a face to a name.

Jones-Drew has been placed on injured reserve because of a foot injury.||||||| Jones-Drew injured his left foot Oct. 21 at Oakland when he was tackled on the opening play. He started running full speed last week, but his foot didn't respond as well as team trainers had hoped, so risking him in the season finale at Tennessee made no sense.

He faces a tough task next week against Houston's stifling defense but should still be considered a top-10 option, especially if Jennings can't play.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have activated running back Maurice Jones-Drew and waived second-year running back Keith Toston.||||||| The Jaguars had a roster exemption for Jones-Drew, who ended a 38-day holdout last Sunday. He is expected to play in Sunday's season opener at Minnesota.

Two people have been taken into custody after the Tulsa County Multi-jurisdictional Task Force served search warrants at a Midtown Tulsa home Tuesday evening.
According to Tulsa Co. Sheriff's Captain Bill McKelvey, authorities recovered "multiple" guns, narcotics and 3 lbs. of high explosives that were stable, as well as 30 grams of high explosives that were extremely unstable.
Because of that, the Tulsa Bomb Squad was called in to dispose of the unstable explosives. The scene was cleared just before 9 p.m.
The multi-jurisdictional task force consists of Tulsa County deputies and two federal agents.
McKelvey said the investigation into the home has been ongoing for about two months.
According to a booking report, Brian Larkins, 40, has been charged with possession of a bomb/explosives by a felon, manufacturing explosives, possession with 1000 ft. of a school/park and other firearms charges.
A booking report reveals authorities recovered "30 grams of TAPT, 13.57 lbs. of high explosive det cord, 18 guns, a baggy of Ice and $1,435," on Larkins.
He is being held in the Tulsa Co. Jail on more than $100,000 bond.
The Tulsa Co. Drug Task Force served a second search warrant at a home in the 1500 block of N. Florence Pl. just before 5 p.m. and took 32-year-old Jessica Cason into custody.
She faces multiple drug charges and is being held on a $15,250 bond.
McKelvey said he expects federal charges will also be filed for the explosives.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

|Maxis have "no intention of offlining" SimCity, could happen to 'earn back trust'
|Posted: 11.03.2013 13:42 by Simon Priest
|Comments: 3
General manager Lucy Bradshaw of Maxis has said in her latest blog that the "core problem" with SimCity is "almost behind us," as the studio continues to add and tweak servers. 8m hours of gameplay logged.
Apparently they've reduced game crashes by "92% from day one." There are "still some elements" preventing an 'all-clear' but they're getting there. As of now, Maxis has "no intention" of an offline mode.
She wouldn't completely rule out an offline function though, saying "we'll look into that as part of our earning back your trust efforts." SimCity will remain online until then.
"I'm happy to report that the core problem with getting in and having a great SimCity experience is almost behind us. Our players have been able to connect to their cities in the game for nearly 8 million hours of gameplay time and we've reduced game crashes by 92% from day one," blogged Lucy Bradshaw.
Early adopters of SimCity are set to receive a free game from EA as a sorry.
"A combination of optimizing our server architecture and response times, deploying these enhancements on both a series of new and the original servers and issuing a few critical client updates has achieved getting virtually everyone into the game and, once in, having a great time building cities and sharing regions."
She continued: "We need a few more days of data before we can assure you that the problem is completely solved and the game is running at 100 percent." SimCity is said to 'need' a persistent connection to Maxis servers in order to run the GlassBox simulation engine which controls everything running in the game.
While connections to the servers have been vastly improved, the cities suffer from delayed trades with neighbouring cities which can severely hamper gameplay. A number of 'non-essential' features remain switched off.
SimCity's launch week has been a tremendous strain on both fans and Maxis. EA has even taken to suspending all online marketing campaigns, and retailer Amazon has delisted the game entirely.

Conducted entirely on Twitter, this poll crowdsourced nominations for the top 100 folks in healthcare IT without … Continue reading

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - Donations are pouring in for the Oklahoma tornado victims. And here in San Diego, a grassroots effort by a group of military wives, with connections to the tragedy, has grown throughout the day.
This group of military wives put the word out on Facebook around 9:00 a.m. Tuesday and throughout the day people have been dropping off all kinds of donations, enough to fill a driveway.
For two of the women who organized this drive, what happened in Moore, Oklahoma is personal.
"I have a friend they can't find. They found her son, so I'm just praying that they'll find her too," said Melanie Voss.
Voss' connection to Moore runs deeps. The Oklahoma native used to live in the town of less than 60,000 people, where on Monday a tornado touched down destroying nearly everything in its path.
"It's pretty horrible. When the May 3rd tornadoes went through, I was there and that was bad enough. I hear it's so much worse," added Voss.
Diana Noschang has been just as impacted by the tragedy:
"My heart breaks for those families."
Noschang's best friend lives in Moore.
"Her grandmother's home is to the ground and so many people she knows, they have nothing."
Together, these two military wives wanted to do something to help. They decided to reach out to others in the local military community and ask for donations. The response has been overwhelming. And all they need now, is for someone to ship the items.
Among the items they've collected so far: water, diapers, shoes and clothes for all ages. Someone even donated a shovel. And while that particular item may seem a bit odd, it could actually mean the difference between life and death - as rescue workers continue searching through the rubble.
These women plan to collect items through Wednesday and they'd like to have the items shipped by Thursday.
If you are able to help with shipping, please email: email@example.com

"Fascinating story, but..."
This is a fascinating story, and mostly a fascinating book though it slows down at times.
"the Vatican survived, barely"
I appreciate the extensive research of the author, Much of this history about Word War II in Italy and the military on all sides I did not know. This book was an education everyone should have.
I love Italy and lived there so it was personal for me and painful to hear what happened.to the cities, the people, and the art.
He did a fantastic job. His voice and his Italian was perfect for this book.
I don't know how you could read this and not feel rage, disgust and sadness. and even panic at times.
Much is narration, but you will hear from the real characters in the story. Very interesting. I think it is very difficult to present all of this history in an entertaining format. To fully understand, it helps to get a reference of the artwork and the places mentioned in Italy. This is not your ordinary light reading.. Sometimes I would drift a little but it doesn't matter if you don't get every bit of it, listen to the book anyway.

In an effort to relieve inequalities among the causes of potential saints, steps are being taken to reduce the costs associated with the canonization process, according to a Vatican official.
According to the Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, Cardinal Angelo Amato, prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, has said the cost-reduction is in response to a Holy See request to standardize and provide more public information on the costs associated with the canonization process.
The cost-cutting measures will also help provide assistance to dioceses and religious orders that are unable to raise the funding for their causes.
L'Osservatore Romano said Pope Francis wants the reforms at the congregation to include the creation of a preferential pathway for blessed and saints who are not well known, or who come from the poorest regions of the world. It would also benefit those who were victims of the Nazi and communist persecutions of the 20th century.
Cardinal Amato said the Holy Father has great interest in "valuing the holiness of priests and laypeople" and that he is "always willing" to meet with him to evaluate and sign decrees of beatification and canonization.
The prelate lamented that some causes in their final phases are delayed because their promoters, whether bishops, religious or laity, "seem to be absent," and he therefore encouraged them to have a more robust dialogue with his dicastery.

Not only that, but before PRIDE imploded the UFC was seemingly running out of worthy contenders to throw at him. His last three defences saw him win a rubber match with Couture, despatch Renato Sobral (again) and knock out Ortiz (again.) Three opponents whom he'd already beaten, three opponents whom he beat again, all by knockout (again.)Liddell, at 37, was on top of the world.
The MMA Encyclopedia Contest: UFC 71 and the knockout of Chuck Liddell
At UFC 71 fans witnessed Chuck Liddell enter the arena at the absolute apex of his popularity and mseemingly, his fighting talents. It took just two minutes for challenger Quinton "Rampage" Jackson to leave Liddell crushed, feebly protesting about a completely justified stoppage to the referee.
The build-up
By the time the bell sounded on May 26, 2007, the Iceman had turned himself into the biggest stars in the MMA world, and had gone a long way towards dragging the UFC up with him. When he fought his last non-title bout (against Vernon White) in August 2004 on a card headlined by Randy Couture, the event had pulled in 80,000 buys. His next fight, when he took the title from Couture, drew 280,000. His last fight before his knockout by Jackson drew over a million.
If it was the trio of Couture, Liddell and Tito Ortiz that helped the UFC pull out of the dark ages, Liddell was the biggest of the bunch. He was marketable, with a very easygoing, one-of-the-boys persona, and also had a hugely exciting fighting style. In his five title fights from UFC 52 to UFC 66, not a single one of his opponents reached the final bell. There isn't any title holder in the UFC who can claim anything like that since.
So when Jackson was presented as an opponent for him, it was at once both the best challenger anyone could drag up and also a fighter who Liddell was expected to beat.
But Jackson was a different challenge. In 2003, Jackson had spoiled fans' hopes for a Liddell-Wanderlei Silva superfight by beating down Liddell in the PRIDE ring so badly his corner threw in the towel, while Dana White whined in the broadcast booth about Liddell not throwing enough leg kicks.
The UFC largely promoted the fight as a revenge fight for Liddell. Entering UFC 71 at 20-3, he'd brutally avenged his two previous losses, one to Couture and one to Jeremy Horn. Jackson was the one fighter on the list he hadn't repaid yet, and there seemed little reason to think he wouldn't be able to. The UFC gave all kinds of attention to Couture, even featuring him in the promo video, because Couture was one of the relatively few saying no, really, Jackson can actually beat this guy. But even in the promo videos the attempt came across as half-hearted, and UFC 71 was really about one thing: Liddell's revenge.
In retrospect, it seems crazy that few people saw it coming, but every reason that gave Jackson a chance to win could be (and was by Joe Rogan) was easily countered.
Liddell was 37? Who cares. He looked better at 37 than he did at 33. Jackson had beaten down Liddell? Sure, but only now, as Rogan pointed out, was it coming out that Liddell had a supposed injury before the first fight. And he'd been in a bad place mentally, having been stopped by Couture just four months before the 2003 fight with Jackson.
And was Jackson a feared challenger? He was coming off four wins, but since beating Liddell he'd also been knocked out three times, all in brutal fashion to strikers. He was 7-3, with one of those "wins" being a decision victory over Murilo Rua so inexplicable he mouthed to the camera "I didn't win" afterwards and tried to give his trophy to a dejected Rua.. Another contentious decision followed that several fights later over Matt Lindland in the WFA. His UFC debut had been a tune-up fight again Marvin Eastman, where he'd sputtered a bit in the first round before finally getting in gear and knocking out Eastman in the second.
The fight
Liddell had come into the fight as roughly a 5-2 favourite (various sources give him at -210, -240, -260 and -290.)
The fight itself was over so quickly there isn't much to say about it. After some circling, Rampage threw a wide right hook that clipped Liddell to the ground and he finished him quickly thereafter.
Liddell, stunned as much as anybody, angrily protested before he came to grips with it and calmed down, giving his now-trademark explanation "I got caught." Rogan, from the broadcast booth simply screamed out "I don't believe this!" An era had ended, quickly and violently.
The epilogue is as well known and as poignant as any in MMA. Liddell, once so dominant, saw his career fall apart, in a sense defying explanation- one fight apparently made the difference between being the most dominant light heavyweight champ in UFC history to being a fighter at risk of being cut from the UFC.
But it also opened up the gates to the new crop of light heavyweights who became the UFC's biggest stars. After ironically successfully representing the UFC in a UFC vs Pride title fight against Dan Henderson, Jackson lost his belt to Forrest Griffin, who lost it to Rashad Evans, who lost it to Lyoto Machida, who lost it to Shogun Rua. All were some of the biggest stars in the UFC in their respective reigns, and all of them, with Machida's exception, saw their rise directly tied to Liddell or Jackson.
With one quick fight, the era of the single dominant champion had ended. What followed was an era of multiple stars and pay-per-view draws, as much a part of the UFC's continuing success as Liddell was in 2005-2007.

ok, everyone seems to be taking a deep breath after a rollicking first couple days. the big headlines are behind us and the signings will get smaller and more niche from here. so what are gillis' options from this point to improve the team? one thing i think he will try again is taking a run at an RFA or 2. he tried it last year with david backes (would have been a great move if it worked) and given the lack of high quality canucks RFAs i don't think retaliatory offers are going to be much of a deterrent. so who's available and/or likely? well i'll tell you who i'd like him to go for.
first, i think if you're going to make a predatory offer for a restricted free agent i think you should really choose your targets well. pick players that will make a difference, are worth the pick(s) you'll give up and would come from teams who would have difficulty matching your salary. there are 2 aspects to RFA offers: they are a poker showdown, and they are potentially sabotage. in the first aspect the predatory gm has to weigh the value of the player and the compensation that entails when making the offer, as well as guessing at the math the opposing gm goes through when weighing the choice to match the offer or take the compensation and walk away. that is an interesting financial, scouting and psychological puzzle. the second aspect comes into effect if the opposing gm is forced to match a predatory offer that can screw his team's salary structure and make life for that gm very difficult in subsequent years, potentially crippling that franchise. i'll get back to that aspect later.
second, the holes in vancouver's roster are a) a big body forward, perferrably with good hands, and b) a defenseman with some wheels. (yeah, both those kinds of players grow on trees, should be easy to find, right?)
that said, the RFA that interests me is cam barker. barker is a good young dman, a good skater with a fairly poor shot who has the potential to be a very good dman. i'm not sure who he knocks out of the top 2 pairs on the canucks but i'm willing to let training camp decide that, at least until salo gets injured then it's a moot point.
the beauty of going after barker is that he plays for chicago who currently have 17 players under contract leaving less than 9M under the cap to spend on 6 RFAs and whatever else. more importantly, they have a tsunami of players coming up for contract next year - kane, toews, ladd and keith will be commanding big big bucks. this is where sabotage comes into play. forcing another elite team in the conference to spend more than they want to this year can have a knock on effect into next year and make dale tallon's life miserable as he tries to carve out enough cap room for his young studs when the cap itself is collapsing like the trash compactor on the death star.
so, am i crazy? dreaming? targeting the wrong guy?

Association CEOs Who Excel at Social Media: Dave Phillips of PAR
Instead of listing reasons why CEOs should consider using social media, I'll let Dave Phillips, CEO of the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors, tell you in fewer words:
"Social media is optional and so is being relevant."
Maddie Grant of Socialfish agrees. She recently wrote, "One good tweet from a CEO is worth more than 100 tweets from other staff." Her post inspired me to interview several association CEOs who enjoy the personal and professional benefits of social media.
Building a social staff
I "know" Dave Phillips from following him on Twitter and reading his blog. When I visited PAR's online staff directory, I was astounded to see the entire staff had social media profiles.
Although PAR started developing a digital presence before Dave came along, only a few of them were using social media themselves. Once Dave was on board, they increased their social media efforts, both organizationally and individually. PAR even has a full-time community and social media manager on staff now.
Changing perspectives and habits is no easy task, but Dave said an early breakthrough came from their Twitter-skeptical governmental affairs director. "One of her goals was to do a better job with social media. As she live-tweeted a debate, a freshman assemblyman sought her out because he had seen her tweets and wanted to introduce himself to her." No longer was there any doubt: social media could help break the ice and spark relationships.
PAR's advocacy team has experienced other social media benefits. The average response rate for political calls to action is 10% nationally. Because they supplement traditional tactics with social media, PAR's is 18%.
The personal/professional line
Dave's had a blog and Facebook profile since, well, forever. He doesn't spend much time on LinkedIn, but loves Twitter. "I resisted Twitter when it first came out because I knew I'd become completely addicted to it." I'm happy to report Dave's found balance with Twitter.
He decided long ago to have only one social media profile, not separate personal and professional profiles. "I have one face, the same face. I'm not as fun to follow as I could be, but I also don't accidently post things in the wrong place. One account keeps it simple."
Dave believes the line between personal and professional, particularly with the younger generation, has blurred. "It's almost become nonexistent." He says, "The true value, the genius of social media, is engaging other people. That's my main thrust in social media. That's our business."
Whom to follow?
"You get what you follow," says Dave. Find and follow quality tweeps — thought leaders, press, policymakers and their staff, members, prospective partners, and your peers. Use Twitter lists to organize the flow of tweets.
How to manage?
"One, you need to have two 22" monitors — one for social media and one for work," says Dave. Because most people are drawn to association work because of the extreme variety of tasks and issues, he says that shuffling back and forth between social and work should be a natural for the ADD set. I had never thought of us in that way, but I think he has a point.
"Two, find your social media primetime." For Dave, it's first thing in morning, especially on Mondays, when people catch up and post updates before settling into work. He also likes to check in at lunch and at the end of the work day. "Understand the peaks and valleys. There's no use posting business stuff at 8 p.m. on a weekend when no one's there."
"Social media is optional and so is being relevant."
Dave says, "If you're not doing social media, you're not being relevant to a large part of your membership. You can't afford not to do it."
"I wish everyone had to be on Twitter and think in 140 characters. I enjoy it. It keeps me fresh as a professional, and keeps me in touch with younger members who are going to be our future."
For Dave, social media is another way to connect with members. "That's job number one," he says. "If I walk down the hall and see someone on Facebook, they're not penalized, they're applauded. They're connecting with members on a personal and business level. You have to do both. Take advantage of the blurred line."
Deirdre Reid, CAE is a freelance writer who blurred the line many years ago.

Parks Canada
Home > Learn and Discover > Parks Canada 2010 Arctic Surveys > Notes from the Field > HMS Erebus and HMS Terror
Erebus and Terror Search – Update - August 16, 2010
Following the Investigator project, Ryan Harris and Jonathan Moore joined the crew of CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier and the Canadian Hydrographic Service team members at Kugluktuk (Nunavut). This rendezvous took place on August 10, 2010 during a scheduled Coast Guard crew change. Arriving crew members, supernumeraries (as guests aboard the ship are termed), equipment and supplies were flown onto the anchored icebreaker by the ship's helicopter. The ship continued the next leg of its 2010 Arctic patrol and travelled eastwards along the south side of Victoria Island. For the following five days the ship's crew conducted maintenance work on navigation aids between Dease Strait and Cambridge Bay. There was a brief diversion for a search and rescue (SAR) call that was soon cancelled.
During this time, the Canadian Hydrographic Service and Parks Canada teams readied two survey launches Gannet and Kinglett with the assistance of the ship's crew. On August 15 the launches were put into the water for the first time, tested, and the Canadian Hydrographic Service team carried out some survey work in the approaches to Cambridge Bay. By the morning of August 16 the Sir Wilfrid Laurier was at Jenny Lind Island, situated between Victoria Island and the Royal Geographical Society Islands. Further navigation aid maintenance and survey tasks will be carried out here.
HMS Erebus and HMS Terror Search -- Update -- August 19, 2010
During the first week aboard the vessel, Sir Wilfrid Laurier has covered a lot of ground, with the crew members from both Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) and Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) busy with efforts to ensure safe navigational routes for the Arctic waters in this region. The CHS continued its work from the survey launches primarily conducting bathymetric survey work, while the CCG crew focused their efforts on installing and servicing navigation aids. Upon completion of work at Jenny Lind Island, Canadian Coast Guard vessel Sir Wilfrid Laurier continued eastward.
Weather and general working conditions have been favourable and the icebreaker is now in the targeted search area for HMS Erebus and HMS Terror. Ice charts of the Queen Maud Gulf have been examined regularly to determine the viability of conducting the survey work and, weather conditions are always top of mind as they can change drastically and with little notice in the Arctic.
With the two Canadian Hydrographic survey launches, Gannet and Kinglett readied prior to arrival, the marine search began immediately with a side-scan sonar deployed from each launch. The side-scan sonar is towed from the stern of the launch vessel, offering an acoustic image of the sea floor. During surveys with the side-scan sonar, our team will systematically cover as much of the targeted area as possible, while overlapping search corridors. This methodology will provide a composite image of the area and can confirm the presence of any shipwreck remains on the sea floor. The side-scan sonar to be used for this survey is the same equipment used for the recent locating of HMS Investigator off the shores of Aulavik National Park, in Mercy Bay, Northwest Territories.
The team expects to conduct long-days of surveying to maximize the allotted time for being in the targeted search area. If weather conditions remain good, each day will likely consist of 16-hours of survey time, leaving little time for sleeping and eating. This critical focus on the survey work will keep our communications at a minimum, however updates will continue to be provided as time allows.

Craftsman Operating Procedures (COPs), developed by the PDCA Craftsmanship Forum, establish a benchmark for how painting is done at a craftsman level, so that individual painting companies can customize them for their own brand of craftsmanship. From job site setup to painting trim and cleanup and closeout, COPs constitute a ready-made tool to help you standardize craftsmanship practices within your painting company. The COPs also help train employees in consistently delivering the quality that you promise your clients.
Each month APC will highlight a new COP. This month: failed coating removal from trim by scraping and sanding EPR-10.

I was looking through my house today, trying to find ways to save a little extra cash on energy. As I went around the house, I looked at all the things that were plugged in that didn't need to be: the TV, the dryer, the microwave, the Wii, and all that stuff. None of this stuff needs to be plugged in unless I'm using it, but they still use small amounts of power when they're plugged in. After going through the house unplugging everything, I started thinking about other ways to charge my stuff.
Then I started thinking about personal solar panels. Right now, it may not be the best time of year to talk about these things. After all, the sun isn't really a big part of anyone's life during the winter. However, those sunny days will rear their heads once more in a few months, and then these solar panels will be a great investment to have around.
I didn't really know how great of an investment they were until I started looking into them a bit more. I was expecting them to cost about four times as much as they really do, which is a funny little indication of just how far the technology has come over the years. Five years ago, a little charger to charge your phone would have run you around $200 bucks. Now, it'll run you about $50. It's crazy how times change!
So I ordered one for myself. I decided to go with the Kiwi U-Powered Portable Power Source. I'm just planning on using it to charge my phone, but I think it's pretty cool to possibly use it as my sole source of power to charge my phone once the sun comes back. I'll let you know how everything turned out once I finally get to use it, so stay tuned for any updates. This is just another great example of the ways that we can all rescue ourselves from the technological slavery that oil is putting us into. If this one works out, I'm definitely going to be thinking more about solar in the future for my other projects.

National Merit Scholarship Program Recognizes Heights High Seniors
September 12, 2012
Cleveland Heights, OH
Four Cleveland Heights High School seniors have been named semifinalists in the first round of the 58th annual National merit Scholarship Program. The National Merit semifinalists are Trevor Coble, Carter Hastings, Carter Hastings, Ian Kraus, and Thomas Frederick. Over 16,000 Merit Scholarship semifinalists have the opportunity to continue in the competition for some 8,300 awards worth more than $32 million that will be offered next spring.
Trevor Coble likes math, science and the social sciences – it is all interesting. "I have had really great teachers here at Heights – Mr. Meister makes history so real," he said. He is taking numbers theory and world literature at Case Western University as well as his classes at Heights High. He says that he loves learning, "My family encourages that." He is not sure exactly what he wants to study, but he will apply to several liberal arts colleges, including Macalester and Kenyon.
Carter Hastings felt that he had no other choice but to succeed. "My parents and teachers really encouraged me to do my best," said Carter. "My parents are proud of me. A lot of the credit goes to them—they pushed me and helped me to reach my goals." He recognizes that his family shares in this award. "This is their accomplishment too," said Carter. He is especially interested in a liberal arts college that will allow him to explore several life options, and he plans to apply to Oberlin, Denison, and Kenyon.
Ian Kraus appreciates all the great teachers at Heights. "Heights has done a lot me for me. The teachers and staff are always there to support me," said Ian. One teacher that really stands out for Ian is his history teacher, Karen Bauer-Blazer. "History is my favorite subject, and I have had Ms. Bauer-Blazer every year of high school. She makes class interesting and engaging; it's not just a lecture," Ian said. He plans to apply to several schools with strong business programs. "I'm not exactly sure what I want to study, but it will involve business," he continued. Ian will apply to several schools, including Stanford, Columbia, and Princeton.
Thomas Frederick's favorite classes are chemistry and statistics. He is taking organic chemistry and calculus at Cleveland State University and AP statistics at Heights High. "I have always been a math person, and statistics is really interesting," he said. Chemistry teacher Evelyn Bradshaw has been especially inspiring to him. "Last year I was in her room after school, just learning more." Of the organic chemistry class at CSU, he said, "I can see how things work at the micro level." He plans to apply to several schools, including Brown and Northwestern.

Johnson County officials are trying to make getting rid of old license plates a little bit easier.
Workers have installed a 24-hour secure license plate drop-off box at the county's administration building.
The box is checked daily by the county treasurer, and all plates will be unregistered from the system, cut up, and then recycled.
The state will be replacing all license plates in Iowa over the next ten years.
Officials say the drop box will help handle the increased load.
"They don't end up in the landfill. They don't' wind up on somebody else's car or improper use of the plates, and it becomes a win-win for everybody," said Johnson County Treasurer Tom Kriz.
More than 15 thousand license plates were turned in to be recycled at the Johnson County Treasurer's Office last year.

New Vulcan LCG
<< Lower Deck
With a five- to six-inch lower deck height, the LCG™ allows for better stability and overhead clearance when hauling vehicles or equipment as well as increased operator safety because the operator can secure the equipment while standing safely on the ground. Additionally, the LCG™'s low angle allows for easier loading overall.
Low-Profile Wheel Lift >>
The LCG™'s low-profile wheel lift stinger provides 68 inches of reach with a lift rating of 3,500 pounds. When retracted, the crossbar tucks in with minimal overhang. The LCG™ comes standard with the slide-in L-Arm system, while the Vulcan strapless system and hydraulic AutoGrip system are both optional.
<< Side Mount Winch
The Side Mount Winch allows the operator to easily adjust a sliding pulley assembly into nine different positions for a straight line pull with loading vehicles with screw in tow eyes or hooks. The option is available with a 9,000- or 12,000-pound planetary winch and requires a stationary cab protector or the SP 8,000 Sidepuller option.
Well-Equiped Tailboard >>
The LCG™ tailboard is equipped with easy-access safety chains, and adjustable rear stabilizer, LED body lighting and anti-theft storage for the standard slide-in L-Arms. The optional galvanized subframe assembly includes the control station, tail light housing and wheel lift outer boom for additional protection from salt and road spray.
<< AutoGrip II
The AutoGrip II self-loading wheel lift option operates from the control stations of the carrier by lowering the wheel lift, opening the claws and extending the crossbar until it comes into contact with the towed vehicles tires. The claws are then closed and the vehicle is ready to be lifted.
Strapless Wheel Retainer >>
Vulcan's Strapless Wheel Retainer System is one of the easiest and safest systems on the market today. The retainers pivot both vertically and horizontally for easy hook up in a variety of situations and best of all, no tie-down straps.
<< SP 8000 Sidepuller
The unique design of the SP 8000 Sidepuller allows the operator to use the removable sheave head on either side or winch directly from the center pivoting sheave. The center sheave is able to pivot 180 degrees, allowing you to winch in any direction behind the cab, even straight onto the carrier deck.
20-Degree Dump >>
In addition to the low load angle, the LCG™ has a dump angle of up to 20 degrees. This allows the operator to easily unload damaged vehicles or equipment.
<< Low Load Angle
With a lower deck height and low load angle, the LCG™ allows the operator to load most vehicles without needing wood or planks.
With the standard 102-inch wide deck, the 12,000- or 16,000-pound deck capacity, the LCG™ easily accommodates wider vehicles or those with oversized tires. Both the 12 and 16 Series LCG™ carriers are available in either aluminum or steel, and with solid-tube railing or a selection of removable side rails.

Chassis components directly behind the cab must be 2" below the top of the truck frame.
* Platform rating is based on equally distributed load.
** Inside Bed Widths will vary based on Siderail Option.
*** The outside frame rails of the chassis extending behind the cab must be free of fuel tanks, air tanks, exhaust stacks, etc.
**** Not available on 12 Series LCG™
The LCG™ carrier is not compatible with chassis that have inboard mi-ship fuel tanks such as the Ford 550 and Dodge 5500. Fuel tanks must be under the cam. Fuel tanks can extend up to six inches behind the cab only in combination with the frame-mounted pylon. Fuel fill must not be behind the cam.
The preferred location for the battery box is under the passenger seat or under the cab; battery boxes in other locations may require relocation.
Air-bag rear suspensions are recommended for the lowest possible load angle but the LCG™ carrier can be mounted on some chassis with leaf spring suspensions. The top of the truck frame must not be more than 3 ¾ below the top of the tires with the airbag suspension deflated. Chassis that do not employ helper spring pads such as International 4300 and Ford F650 have no installation issues. Chassis such as Hino will need the helper spring pads lowered.
In-line horizontal exhaust systems on some chassis with 2010 emissions that require DEF may interfere with inboard tilt cylinders and an alternate exhaust configuration should be selected.
A minimum clearance of 49" between the inside of the rear tires is required.
Add 6" to C.A. for frame mounted pylon.
Add 12" to C.A. for SP 8000 side puller.
NOTE: All ratings are based on structural factors only, not vehicle capacities or capabilities. Specifications shown are approximations and may vary depending on chassis selected. Platform rating is based on an equally distributed load. Actual payload carrying capacity is determined by the curb weight of the chassis and equipment and should not exceed the GVWR of the chassis. Product and or specifications may change without notice or obligation. Some equipment shown is optional.

HMS York comes home
After 27 years patrolling the oceans of the world, the Royal Navy's Type 42 destroyer HMS York is visiting the region as it prepares to bid farewell.
Affiliated to the City of York, the 5200-tonne HMS York has come to the natural end of her working life in the navy and will decommission from service in Portsmouth later this month.
A celebration of HMS York's long and illustrious career within the Royal Navy, the visit begins when the ship sails into Hull's King George Dock this evening.
For some crew, this is also a home coming visit, with members of the ship's company from Hull and the surrounding area, as well as North Yorkshire.
A number of the crew will journey to York on Friday to make the final preparations for the Freedom parade, while invited guests and dignitaries will visit the ship for a lunch and evening reception. On Saturday the ship's company will travel to York to exercise their Freedom of Entry to the City for the final time.
The parade will form near York Minster at 11am and will be welcomed and inspected by City of York Council's Lord Mayor, Councillor Keith Hyman.
The parade concludes at 12 noon having returned to Duncombe Place when there will be a fly past made by the ship's own Lynx helicopter from 815 Naval Air Squadron, before the crew is invited to an official civic reception at the Mansion House. Normally based in Yeovilton, when not at sea with the ship, the helicopter will make her home at Imphal Barracks for the weekend.
On Sunday 16 September the ship will open her gangway to the public, so visitors can explore the ship, discover more about her equipment and speak to the men and women who have sailed with her.
– Commanding Officer of HMS York, Commander Rex Cox
This visit is one of celebration and appreciation of the sterling service which this exceptional ship has offered her country during her 27 years at sea.
To be bringing her back home to Yorkshire is, without question, not only the absolute pinnacle of this celebration, but also a very poignant and dignified moment in her long and illustrious life.
We have always enjoyed exceptional links with York. I know that my crew is honoured and excited to show off their ship once more to the Yorkshire people, who have always shown unparalleled hospitality and enthusiasm for this great ship.
I am extremely proud to have commanded HMS York and her crew - there is obviously some sadness in bidding farewell to any ship, but, more than anything, this is a time to honour her and her achievements.
I sincerely hope that as many locals as possible will make the journey to the King George Dock to visit the ship on Sunday when we open to the public. It allows us in our own small way to return the hospitality and affection extended to us for many years before bidding our final fond farewell.
– The City of York's Lord Mayor, Councillor Hyman
We are delighted to welcome the Commanding Officer and ship's company of HMS York to the city.
Plans have been made to make this a special occasion, when the ship's company will exercise their Freedom of Entry to the City for the final time. It is an opportunity for the city to say goodbye to the ship and the company, with whom we have enjoyed an affiliation since 1991.

The whole experience. Food and service was first class.
|22 August 2014 Ellen United Kingdom
Delicious food, particularly the scallop and saffron risotto, and the fourme d'ambert cheese!
The service was mostly very good, but towards the end of the evening my husband ordered a diet coke which never arrived and the wait to pay was a little bit long as we had finished our drinks and were ready to go. With regards to food, we thought the duck might be slightly over-cooked and that the presentation of the cheese course might benefit from a larger plate, but overall the food was delicious and the ambience very nice so we would definitely come back for dinner again. Thank you Chez Vous for a lovely evening.
|22 August 2014 Michelle United Kingdom
Everything was perfect. The service, the presentation, and the flavours were are all simply wonderful. The ambience and the decor are warm and impressive. Couldn't praise it more

The delicious food
The staff were extremely friendly and did not treat us differently using a voucher
|16 August 2014 Jamie United Kingdom
The food was very good, it was presented nicely.
The thing that let's this restaurant down is the wine, we hade a different glass with each course, but only the first glass (Pino ) was ok the rest was barely drinkable, it was cheap and nasty.

Some of the issues the Charlestowne Mall need to overcome are of its own doing, according to Crain's Chicago Business.
"Some of Charlestowne's woes are of its own making," Crain's reports in a March 12 article. "Until last year, when it was sold out of receivership, the mall was owned for five years by creditors who did nothing to bring in fresh retailers."
The articles elaborates on the ongoing troubles the mall faces and what it's currently doing to fight back against an 80 percent vacancy rate.

In February, St. Charles Patch reported on how plans inside the mall to add a ice skating rink and seafood buffet remained in preliminary stages. A mall spokesman told Patch that building permits "still have not been issued."
Crain's reports that the city officials say the permits had yet to be applied for by mall management.

When you think of concrete, more often than not, the first thing you think of is probably not art. This is the joy of this day and age, where what was once a boring material used for building and construction is now being used around the world by creative minds as they mould and shape concrete into artistic designs – thanks to products like Cemcrete's SculptCrete.
Sculptcrete, a cement mixture from Cemcrete is scientifically formulated as an enhanced fibre-cement blend that makes it easy to manipulate. Simple to use, when mixed properly there is not much that can't be done in the realm of artistic creation. While used primarily in creating stunning sculptures, SculptCrete can also be used to create three dimensional details on surfaces whether on canvases, walls, plaques, floors or whatever surface takes your fancy. Layers can be built upon layers – an exciting feature for all self-proclaimed sculptors. SculptCrete dares you to challenge the norm and to not be afraid to experiment!
Another terrific property of Sculptcrete is in its drying phase. As it sets to semi-solid, biscuit dry-hard texture, you are able to carve intricate designs and details. It's also a great substance to use for creating mosaics. SculptCrete dries waterproof, is weather resistant, contains no hazardous material and is suited to both indoor and outdoor use. With all of this said, the only thing left to say is, "what are you waiting for?".
Visit www.cemcrete.co.za and get your own supply of Cemcrete's SculptCrete and get creating!

Using HPC systems management tools to administer high density microserver clustersSteven Alan DuChene
Using HPC systems management tools to administer high density microserver clusters
High density clusters of Microservers like the 10U (rack height) 256 Atom based nodes from SeaMicro are coming to a data center near you. This paper will show how one person can use available advanced chassis management systems along with some common HPC opensource tools to easily bring up and maintain 256 compute nodes with very little time investment.<br>
This paper will start with a high level overview of what is a microserver, discuss the specific features of the SeaMicro SM10000-64 chassis, compare and contrast the SeaMicro with two other microserver platforms from Dell and SuperMicro. Then a transition into a discussion of available HPC systems management tools such as C3 tools, SystemImager Suite, Yum, and kickstart. A short outline of the steps used to bring up a new platform or re-image an existing platform using the previously mentioned tools and concluding with a description of how to maintain systems once they are up and running.

At the Tuesday, Dec. 11 Banning school board meeting, retired teacher David Vanden Heuvel took to the podium to comment on the matter at hand – reconfiguring Coombs Intermediate School – but took a detour in his comments.
Facing the board, he said, "It's nice to see our community represented up here."
The existing five-member board includes an African-American woman, a Hispanic man and an Asian/Pacific Islander man.
Vanden Heuvel taught in the district for many years and lives in Banning. He ran for a seat on the board in 2011 but lost. When a vacancy on the board recently came about, he sought an appointment but the board picked Louie over him.
Vanden Heuvel welcomed Louie to the board Tuesday night.

A short "pitch" to belay at the base of the main corner, then up sweet laybacking butterscotch all the way to the top. Five star pitch.
This is the easiest to find climb near the Reflector Oven; that doesn't make the approach any easier, but I guarantee it's worth it.
Cams from fingers to largest, you'll be pumped and appreciating the big guys at the top.

To the Wilpons from Paul Lukas
A rant by Paul Lukas, a Mets fan, of Uniwatchblog about the Wilpons and their disfunctoinality, especially concerning the recent "retro" uniforms. He concludes "And so, Fred and Jeff, in the spirit of the holiday season, I send you the following Thanksgiving wishes: I hope you gag on your turkey, spill cranberry sauce on your suits, and get gravy stains on your ties. I hope your wine is corked, your mashed potatoes lumpy, and your pumpkin pie spoiled. I hope your staff quits at the last moment and spends the day peppering you with crank calls from "me, your old pal Bernie Madoff, don't you remember?" Then I hope you get the runs afterward. The two of you deserve nothing less."
