The infielder, who spent the past two seasons with the Phillies, will be added as a non-roster invitee to Brewers spring training.
From a Brewers press release - Nunez, 31, hit .234/.318/.282 with 16 RBI in 136 games last season. Most of his career was spent with Pittsburgh (1997 - 2004) and he was a member of the 2005 National League Champion Cardinals. He has played 293 games at third base, 261 games at shortstop and 258 games at second base in his Major League career. Nunez owns a career line of .242/.313/.314 and 62 OPS+.
Beerleaguer: Only a club with as many weapons as the Phillies could get away with starting Nunez 55 times at third base, as the Phils did last season. Witnessing perhaps the most one-dimensional semi-regular player in baseball for two seasons, the Phils bought out his option year and replaced him with Eric Bruntlett, part of the Brad Lidge package. A slick fielder who plays third, second and short, Nunez cannot hit the ball out of the infield and has the uncanny ability to murder a rally like no other. A minor league deal from the giant cartoon mit tells you all you need to know about how little a versatile gloveman like No-Hit Nuni is actually valued in the modern era of baseball.

Voting is the process at which voters exercise their franchise in choosing the leadership of their country.
The Gambia has a unique system for casting the ballot. Voters are issued with a token/marble which is inserted through a hole in the drum of the choice of candidate of the voter.
Election Observation is an important component of the electoral process. In short, it is one of the parameters to ensure a free and fair election. There are two different types of election observers:
International observers:
These comprise of international bodies or organisations, embassies, charities, democratic institutions etc.
Domestic observers:
These comprise of local organisations, media houses, democratic institutions etc.
The observation process begins from the registration of voters to the counting and dissemination of results. If it is difficult for the observers to come, during the registration of voters they come before the nomination of candidates. This enables them to judge whether the resources be it airtime, or otherwise, are equitably distributed or accessible to all the parties or candidates.
Usually, there is a briefing session for all the accredited observers wherein they are given the materials needed for the job. There is also a de-briefing session at the end of the elections. This is when they submit provisional reports on the election observation. They then submit actual reports to the commission at a later date on their findings.
The final stage of the election process on polling day is the counting of votes and the dissemination of results for the various candidates who contest the elections. Section 73 of the Elections Act mandates the I.E.C to designate counting centres prior to Election Day and these centres are published in the Gazette and announced in the media for public consumption.
- Immediately after the close of polls ballot drums are transported together with the party /candidate agents (polling agents), security officers and polling staff to the various designated counting centres across the country.
- The polling agents who accompany the ballot drums hand over responsibility to the counting agents.
- On arrival at the counting centre ballot drums are assembled in a sequential order. Counting of votes does not start until all ballot drums to be counted in that specific counting centre arrive.
- Counting begins after the Returning Officer or the Assistant Returning Officer has commissioned the Counting Agents to an Oath of Secrecy.
- Counting agents can confirm the serial numbers used to seal the lids of the ballot drums before the start and after the close of polls.
- The Presiding Officer (counting officer) then breaks the seals and the content inside the ballot drums are poured in a sieve to separate the sand or sawdust from the tokens.
- The tokens are then transferred onto counting trays. There are two types of counting trays - one with two hundred holes and the other with five hundred holes. This makes it easy to determine the votes a candidate has in a polling station, by counting the complete rows filled, expediting the count, and making it more transparent to all present.
The same process is followed until all ballot drums of a polling station in a constituency or ward are counted.
(N.B. In an instance where a counting agent is not satisfied with the count, he/she has an opportunity to demand a recount, but this cannot be done more than twice).
- The results of the various polling stations of an Electoral Division are entered on a form and then summed up to give the totals in a contested area.
- The results are then announced locally and then faxed to the IEC Headquarters where party representatives have the opportunity to see the result forms as they come in before the Chairman finally announces the results on Television and Radio.
A voter is expected to vote where he/she is registered.
This is usually the closest polling station to where he/she lives or resides. Yet still, he/she may choose to register where he/she was born.
This is usually the closest polling station to where he/she lives or resides. Yet still, he/she may choose to register where he/she was born.
The polling station code and constituency of each voter is clearly written on the voter's card. With this, the voter can easily identify where he/she is eligible to vote.
Before voting, the following conditions need to be met:
- be in possession of a Gambian voter's card
- present oneself at the right polling station
- must have one's name on the Register / counterfoil
- must not be serving prison term
- must not be of unsound mind
- must not be in a state of inebriation.
A team of three persons in hierarchical order man each polling station: the Presiding Officer, the Assistant Presiding Officer and the Polling Officer.
Polls open at 7.00 am and close at 4.00pm, however, if there are voters in the queue at 4.00pm, they will be allowed to cast their ballot.
The procedure for voting is based on the provisions as of the Elections Decree.
The voting process occurs in this order:
- Voter enters polling station
- Voter reports to the Assistant Presiding Officer (APO), who checks the voter's card against the Register of Voters/counterfoil.
- APO checks that the voting card is genuine and the identity of the voter correlates that in card..
Once satisfied, the APO draws a line through the serial number on the Alphabetical register of voters
(N.B. If the voter is under any query as to his/her identity, the voter is referred to the Presiding Officer)
- Voter then reports to the Polling Officer
- The Polling Officer dips the voter's left forefinger into indelible ink to ensure that they have been identified as eligible to vote.
- Voter proceeds to the Presiding Officer, who checks the voter's finger and then hands him/her a marble/token.
- Voter enters the voting compartment and drops the marble/token in his/her chosen ballot drum.
- The Presiding Officer listens to the sound of the token/marble hitting the drum.
- The voter then leaves the voting compartment.

Cylindrocladium Black Rot (CBR) is a challenging disease to control. It is characterized by the presence of brick-red reproductive structures (at left) growing at the crown of infected plants. Root systems of severely infected plants deteriorate, lack secondary root growth and turn black.
Pods and pegs are also susceptible to damage (inset). In advanced stages, the pegs and pods are severely rotted and dark brown or black in color. Fungal survival structures, known as "microsclerotia," survive in the soil, in the rotted crop debris, and can remain on the peanut seed as well.
In recent years, it has been shown that CBR can be transmitted via seed, though at a very low rate. If possible, obtain seed produced in fields free of the disease.
For management of CBR:
2. Folicur and Abound are labeled for the "suppression" of CBR. These fungicides may reduce symptoms of disease and possibly increase yields above other fungicides. However, the results are sometimes variable and disappointing.
3. Varieties with some level of resistance are now available. If CBR is present, consider planting a variety such as Carver, Georgia-03L, Georgia-02C or Georgia-01R.
4. CBR is more severe in fields where the peanut root-knot nematode also occurs. Managing nematodes may offer some suppression of CBR as well.
5. Fumigation with metam sodium (e.g. Vapam) at 10 gallons per acre directly beneath the row 10 days prior to planting is currently the best management strategy for the control of CBR.

Devanahalli in Bangalore is set for commercial growthJan 25, 2013, 01:09PM IST
Featured Today
Proximity to a major infrastructure project pushes up the realty development in its vicinity, and if that infrastructure project is as big and significant as the international airport, then the region is bound to emerge as a commercial destination. The growth story of the Devanahalli belt and north Bangalore has been gradually evolving after the international airport at Devanahalli took wings. A host of development measures have been announced along with plans to strengthen existing infrastructure and give a boost to connectivity in the region.
Here are some factors why this region is tipped to be a destination for realty growth:
After the international airport began operations here, there has been a marked difference in the road connectivity from Mekhri Circle. A number of underpasses and road widening projects have changed the landscape of this area. The Outer Ring Road project is one such significant development which has enhanced the region's connectivity to other areas in the city. The connectivity that the seamless Outer Ring Road project will bring about will make a marked difference too. It has already brought about large-scale realty development along its stretch. The connectivity to Old Madras Road, Tumkur Road and Peenya has made this project very noteworthy.
The commercial development in Nelamangala and the Greater Peenya project will also have an impact on the development in this region, owing to the connectivity factor. Commuting time from Nelamangala has been drastically reduced via the Outer Ring Road and NH 207 that will speed up the commute to Devanahalli. Another important connectivity project is the elevated highway that will come up between the Hebbal flyover and Yelhanka bypass, with six lanes.
There are also plans for Metro connectivity in the future expansion plans. Better connectivity will also serve residential catchment areas around Hebbal-ORR, Hennur-Banaswadi Road, and Yelahanka-Doddaballapur Road. Improvements to NH-7 as well as the widening works on the Yelahanka-Doddaballapur Road stretch will be a boost.
Industrial corridors
There are many industrial parks in Devanahalli that will give a boost to commercial and residential development. The Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) is currently working on the ambitious project over 3,000 acres of land near Devanahalli. The three parks coming up for hardware, IT/BT and aerospace can be accessed from the Bagalur Cross on NH 7, Shettigeri village in front of the ITC factory, NH 207 stretch between Doddaballapur and Devanahalli, and Budigere Cross on NH 4 (Old Madras Road).
Along with connectivity, the KIADB's Hardware Park, Aerospace Park, and the Information Technology Investment Region planned here will give a push to residential development around. Localities around Yelahanka, Jalahalli, Doddaballapur Road, and IVC Road along with the BDA's layouts are some of the areas that will benefit from better connectivity.

Vehicles of all descriptions welcome
21 Feb 2010
It's not all about railways at Locomotion – The National Railway Museum at Shildon.
The fabulous vehicles on display at the museum also include what is probably the first private car to drive up the M1. What's more, local classic and vintage vehicle owners are invited to showcase their own vehicles at regular events throughout the year.
The display in the museum's Collection Building includes a 1924 12/15 'Duck's back' Alvis, used by Tom Rolt, engineering writer and vintage car and heritage railway enthusiast. The car was purchased in 1934 for just £10 by the Rolt family.
In 1959, Tom Rolt drove the car on a section of the M1 under construction – from near Luton to beyond Watford Gap – as part of his research for a pamphlet he was writing for John Laing & Sons, the main contractors for the road.
The museum's busy event programme includes a range of vehicle rallies, which local owners are welcome to attend. Events scheduled for 2010 include: Fire Engine Rally on April 5; Vintage Tractors Rally on July 11; Shildon Classic Car Show on July 25; Vintage Bus Rally on August 1; Trikes & Bikes Day on August 15; and Shildon Vintage Vehicle Rally on October 3.
Participation in these events is free, although owners are required to pre-book. For more information, please contact Locomotion – The National Railway Museum at Shildon on 01388 777999 or email@example.com

Remedy Rule isn't old enough yet to drive a car, and she's still a few months away from her first day of 10th grade. But next week she'll be competing against the best swimmers in the country.
Rule, a rising sophomore at Western Albemarle, leaves Saturday for the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials in Omaha, Neb. And she admits that the reality of the opportunity still hasn't completely sunk in.
"It's hard to explain. I don't know," Rule said Wednesday morning. "Like, sometimes I still get the feeling like, 'Wow, I'm going to Olympic Trials."
"People have been searching and reaching their whole lives just to have that experience," said Norm Wright, Rule's coach with the Shenandoah Marlins Aquatic Club. "And for Remedy to be 15, and last summer 14 years old and get these cuts, it's just unprecedented."
Rule began swimming with the SMAC program at age 9. Last summer she qualified for the Olympic Trials in three events -- 200-meter and 100-meter butterfly, and 200-meter backstroke.
And after a year of virtually nonstop preparation, Wright says Rule is ready.
"Yesterday we had a great practice. She was swimming fast times, fast enough to hit her goals for the meet," he said. "And then she came in today and I told her, 'Easy. Easy speed. Let's see what you've got.' And it was even faster."
"I just try to think about every little thing about my stroke, and about trying to hit my times," Rule explained. "And doing my best at practice."
The trials begin next Monday, with the 100-meter butterfly prelims among the races on the schedule. The 200-meter butterfly prelims will be held the following Thursday, then the 200-meter backstroke is the following Saturday.
Rule's top seed is No. 37 out of 144 swimmers in the 200-meter butterfly.
"Anybody who is going is looking to advance at least one round," said Wright. "So if we get that opportunity we'll be happy. And if we don't, well the fact that we're getting to go. We're coming home with a T-shirt, and the experience to catapult us into the next four years and into college is huge."
"I think it will definitely motivate me to want to swim," said Rule. "Just continue swimming and push me to want to make the Olympic team even more, since it's closer in reach than it has been ever before."

Course Description
Sociology Diploma This Sociology Diploma course is about developing a critical understanding of society, and through this understanding providing a basis for highlighting and explaining social problems such as ill health, poverty and crime. Sociology is the study of human societies. It is usually classed as one of the social sciences (along with subjects like psychology) and was established as a subject in the late 18th century (through the work of people like the French writer Auguste Comte). However, the subject has only really gained acceptance as an academic subject in the 20th century through the work of writers such as Emile Durkheim, Max Weber and Talcott Parsons (names that will be visited throughout this course). One name that you may have heard of - Karl Marx (the founder of modern Communism) - has probably done more to stimulate people's interest in the subject than anyone else, even though he lived and wrote (1818-1884) in a period before sociology became fully established as an academic discipline.
Sociology, therefore, has a reasonably long history of development, (150-200 years) although in Britain it has only been in the last 30-40 years that sociology as an examined subject in the education system has achieved a level of prominence equivalent to, or above, most of the other subjects it is possible to study. At present, approximately 40,000 students sit an A-level sociology exam, making it one of the most popular A-levels in our society.
This Sociology Diploma course focuses on the study of the social world. It involves studying human beings and their patterns of behaviour. In order to do this, we focus on the way people form relationships and how these relationships, considered in their totality, are represented by the concept of a "society". In this respect, the focus of the sociologist's attention is group behaviour. That is, the effect that the groups people join or are born into (family, work, education and so forth) have upon people's social behaviour.
Our aim is to provide you with the best deal available when purchasing the Sociology Diploma course, therefore registration fee, certification fee and full tutor support is included in the course price for you.
Previous Knowledge Required
The good news is that no prior learning knowledge or experience is essential to take this Sociology Diploma course. This course is openly available to anyone wishing to learn more about the study of Sociology and would like to take part in a highly rewarding home study course. You have the freedom to start the Sociology Diploma course at any time and continue your studies at your own pace for a period of up to 12 months from initial registration with full tutor support.
You will receive the Sociology Diploma course manual, assignments and study guide plus tutor support by mail and email. Our student support team are also available for any other queries that you may have whilst completing your course. You can be assured that 12 month unlimited support is available for your Sociology Diploma course, so there is no need to struggle or feel isolated during your studies.
Theoretical information is provided throughout the Sociology Diploma course, followed by a series of exercises, assignments and activities that are to be completed and marked by your personal tutor.
Awarding Organisation
This course has been accredited under NCFE IIQ Licence by NCC Resources Limited which has been approved as an NCFE Investing in Quality (IIQ) centre to give formal recognition to courses. At the end of this course successful learners will be awarded a certificate of achievement by NCFE.

One of the greatest Mc's of all time. I dont know what you fuckers are talkin about. You think you're funny with your little acting jokes, but the truth is, if his acting were half as good as his mic skills, he'd be winnin Oscars. I think it's hilarious that a buncha kids who are probably white cyber geeks are commenting on how 'soft' Ice Cube is. He may not have been shot nine times like your gay ass pop rapper 50 Cent, but at least Ice Cube can rap. 50 Cent and all those muthafuckas that just came on the scene suck cock. Ice Cube started this gangsta shit, and this the muthafuckin thanks he gets?
Ice Cube is the hardest mofo out there, dumbasses.

Under the Occupy 2012 banner of the "American Spring," the movement spearheaded the largest protest ever against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) last Friday in Washington D.C. The Organic Consumers Association's political director Alexis Baden-Mayer spoke at the rally. Here are two videos from the demonstration. The first includes Alexis's speech. The second is an important speech by Helen Caldicott on current nuclear dangers. The text of Alexis's speech follows, along with Take Action links.
Text of Alexis Baden-Mayer's speech at the Occupy EPA action March 30, 2012:
Thank you so much for coming here today to Occupy the EPA.
Our lives depend on being able to kick the polluters and the toxic chemical companies out of the EPA. We need to replace corporate influence with sound science and common sense regulations that protect public health and the environment.
My name is Alexis Baden-Mayer. I work for the Organic Consumers Association's Millions Against Monsanto campaign and I'm 5 months pregnant.
As a pregnant woman in North America, eating a typical North American diet, in all likelihood, I have toxins genetically engineered by Monsanto coursing through my veins. I have a 9 out of 10 chance of having Monsanto's genetically engineered Bt toxin in my blood and the baby inside of me has an 8 out of 10 chance of the same toxic contamination. We're also likely to be contaminated with Monsanto's herbicide RoundUp. How did these toxins get in our blood? What does this mean for our health? And what is the EPA doing about it?
It's the food we eat. Almost all processed foods contain genetically engineered ingredients. A soda is mostly genetically engineered high-fructose corn syrup. French fries are cooked in genetically engineered trans fats. Meat, milk and eggs come from animals raised almost exclusively on genetically engineered grains.
All of the genetically engineered crops are engineered to either to withstand herbicides or produce pesticides. Monsanto's RoundUp is the number one herbicide of all time. We've never used more of one agriculture chemical. Now Dow and Monsanto are working on crops that are genetically engineered to withstand outrageous amounts of the herbicide 2,4-D. 2,4-D is half of the formula for Agent Orange. It's the 7th largest source of the dioxin pollution that continues today, even though the EPA for the last 27 years has been collecting evidence that shows dioxin is the most toxic compound synthesized by man. If we start growing this Agent Orange corn we're going to be using 50 times the amount of 2,4-D used today and this is only going to put more dioxin into our farmland, our food and our bodies.
Genetically engineered foods are dangerous. The genetically engineered Bt toxin found in the blood of pregnant women and our babies kills human cells. Other countries have banned it, but we're just growing more and more of it.Where is the EPA? Genetically engineered crops greatly increase the use of herbicides and pesticides. The EPA should be banning these dangerous chemicals. The EPA should ban 2,4-D. The EPA should ban RoundUp. These pesticides cause birth defects. As a pregnant woman, if I were a Minnesota farm worker my baby would be 1.6 times more likely to have a birth defect because of exposure to pesticides. If I were pregnant in Argentina, living near the massive plantations of genetically modified soy where Monsanto's Roundup is sprayed, my baby would be 46 times more likely to have a birth defect. If I were pregnant in Vietnam where Monsanto and Dow's Agent Orange was used, my baby would be 131 times more likely to have a birth defect. If the EPA were occupied with sound science, if the EPA were occupied with common sense regulations -- and not occupied with the corrupting influence to corporations like Monsanto, toxic chemicals would be banned and all women could have healthy babies.

Amazing taste, mixes well with water. Rich Chocolate is crazy delicious. Have been using it for years and the results show after just a few workouts. Best protein EVER. Will continue using it for a long time to come.
NICHOLAS CHUA* (posted on 5/8/2010 4:08:23 PM)
This product is one of the best whey protein around. With an excellent amino acid profile (check it on bodybuilding (dot) com), super mixibility and a good variety of taste. If possible, check out the Dymatize Gourmet as well. It has better amino acid profile than this, and it contains hydrolyzed protein, isolate, concentrate and casein. This dymatize product has a better protein profile compared to leading brands like Optimum Nutrition.
Mohammad Firdaus bin Mohammad Ali (posted on 8/7/2010 10:17:01 AM)
WOW! This protein powder is super amazing. It has wonderful taste. i dont get so much muscle cramps the next day if i consume this protein powder although i did an intensive workout. I would recommend everyone to at least try this product.
Low Jia Jin (posted on 3/1/2013 11:03:44 PM)
Mixes very well with water!
And taste great!
mohammad affendi bin roslan (posted on 10/10/2013 12:56:43 AM)
For me personally this had to be one of the best whey protein isolate in the market right now...not sweet and amazingly mix instantly well.Good amino acids profile and the best of all for 73+ serving for $85 for me is worth your money!Gonna try the vanilla next:)
Kim Jun Hong (posted on 12/2/2013 9:33:59 PM)
I initially ordered ON 100% Whey Protein Gold Standard, but NutriFirst was kind enough called me first thing in the morning to inform me that it was out of stock & recommended me Elite Whey instead. & so I got the rich chocolate flavour... it tasted much better than ON French Vanilla!! (Also nice btw)
Lastly, delivery guy was also kind to text me 15 mins before he arrives at my house. Keep up the great customer services NutriFirst!
I'm hoping to see similar or better results with Elite Whey :)
Muhammad Hilmi (posted on 4/25/2014 2:46:56 PM)
Have been using ON Whey Protein Gold Standard Double Choc. Decided to try something else and ordered this. Not too happy with it though. Maybe I'm used to on. This Dymatize Elite doesnt dissolve as well as ON. And the chocolate taste is not chocolatey. But I believe the results are similar. So I'd stick to ON next time.

The United States has a new attorney general.
The Senate confirmed Michael B. Mukasey as attorney general Thursday night, approving him despite Democratic criticism that he had failed to take an unequivocal stance against the torture of terrorism detainees.
The 53-to-40 vote made Mr. Mukasey, a former federal judge, the third person to head the Justice Department during the tenure of President Bush, placing him in charge of an agency that members of both parties say suffered under the leadership of Alberto R. Gonzales.
Six Democrats joined 46 Republicans and one independent in approving the judge, with his backers praising him as a strong choice to restore morale at the Justice Department and independently oversee federal prosecutions in the final months of the Bush administration.
The majority of Democrats voted not to approve Mukasey because he wavered when asked if the practice of waterboarding constituted illegal torture during his confirmation hearing.

New detached dormer bungalow
Erection date: September 2011
Construction was completed in September 2011 of a new detached three bedroom dormer bungalow within a greenbelt area of Higher Poynton, Cheshire.
The timber framed building utilised a number of glulaminated beams in its structure with two separate hipped roofs to the front elevation and three dormers to the rear elevation. The timber frame was clad in imperial sized brickwork and tiled using a brown brindle concrete tile in keeping with surrounding buildings which are located within a dedicated area of Cheshire greenbelt.
The building was constructed to above building regulations Part M standards with additional consideration being made to disability
access into and within
the ground floor of the dwelling specifically for wheelchair use. By using modern building techniques, installing thermal insulation above and beyond the requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations and also providing new heating systems throughout the property will benefit the conservation of fuel and power.
Under floor heating will be used throughout, a system which is ideally suited for use with ground source heat pumps. The air permeability was designed to achieve a maximum of 6m³/(h.m²) which is well within the 10 m³ required under the current Building Regulations.

The one dreaded question asked by anyone who is new into photography is: "Canon or Nikon?". It's a difficult question because in this day and age, it really has little to do with the camera brand any more. Heck, many of the amazing photographs we see these days come from various phones running Instagram. Even Time Magazine used one for the cover photo as well as to document Hurricane Sandy.
It really is how one uses the camera.
Which is why for this review I'd skip over the technicalities and specs, which you can geek over extensively on dpreview, complete with colour charts and all that stuff most human beings are likely to skip over. Suffice to say it has a 23.6mm x 15.6mm (APS-C) sensor that dishes out 16.3 MP. So I took it out with Laura Huntley and went around a shipyard construction site in Dubai. Thanks to @FujifilmME for giving me the camera for a spin.
The first thing you'd notice about the camera is how beautiful it is Really. It's a work of art. And not only does it look good, but it feels good in the hand; it feels solid, yet fragile all at once. The exposure and shutter speed dials on the top of the body are firm; you won't be accidentally changing settings. More importantly, they're easy to reach without having to look at the camera, though of course it's a matter of habit from one camera to another.
Most of my shooting was done through the old firmware, and I only got to test out v2.0 of the firmware on the last day. That said, the autofocus, while "slow", wasn't really as terribly slow as people complain about. Again, it depends on what photography you're doing. Most of my testing consisted of portraits or inanimate scenery. My primary camera is a Canon 5D MKII, so probably that's why I don't see the X-Pro1 as particularly slow in focusing.
There were plenty of bells and whistles hidden in the menus. Panorama shots. Some bits and pieces of colour options and picture options and dynamic range options and the sort. The panorama mode was decent, though quite frankly the Fujifilm X10 performed better here. Not that the resolution isn't good; it was a matter of the X-Pro not keeping up with my motion. So I'd be panning and after doing a 180 and stopping I could still hear the camera snapping and trying to keep up on the LCD panel at the back.
Anyway, there are plenty of settings to mull over, but shooting in a RAW file renders most of them pretty useless anyway. And what a RAW file it produces.
I was actually quite surprised with how good the photo quality is. I mean, honestly, though this isn't a 5D sensor, the photos are stunning. Very, very crisp. Sharp. I was shocked. Heck, I have trouble getting sharp photos with my 5DMKII. Not with the X-Pro. And the amount of detail I was able to retrieve from the RAW images was great, too. Again, I had zero expectations of what the X-Pro can produce. I've seen photos from other photographers, but it's a different feel when you do your own shooting and your own processing. I enjoy processing photos so the RAW files from the X-Pro satisfied me.
One of the things which needs quite a while getting used to is the electronic viewfinder. It's just… weird. If you have the wizardry off, you'll get a plain, white rectangle that is supposed to be your frame. However, the viewfinder has a static view of the world, so you need to half-press the shutter, and as the camera focuses on your target, the white rectangle will change position to show you what will be in the frame. Then you recompose. It feels like guesswork most of the time.
The other option is to turn on the viewfinder wizardry and bring it to life. Basically, whatever is displayed on the back screen is projected on the tiny viewfinder for inspection. You also get the full frame shot so you can compose better. The colours are too saturated and crisp, so as far as usefulness of the viewfinder is concerned, it's really just to see what you'll be shooting. Turning this option on however drained the battery significantly. The batteries died on me after two or three hours of shooting. I'd be worried if I am out on a day trip with just one battery.
Will this replace my 5DMKII? Honestly, I don't see why not, for the type of photography I do. Yes, the Canon is much more versatile because it has been around longer and the lenses cover an extensive variety of uses. As I explore my photography I find myself more gravitated towards street, street portraits, and candid shots — not much into landscape and nature as I used to be, though of course I do appreciate the amount of effort and the art involved.
Travelling to Nepal for holidays with my 5DMKII made me realise how much I miss the X-Pro. The latter is much, much lighter. The lenses are significantly smaller. They all have pretty wide apertures. Having walked over 50 kilometres during my trip, my shoulders and back were in massive pain. I almost bought an X-Pro from the airport on my way to Malaysia but didn't have the budget for it then and didn't want to deal with more weight and gear on me.
I needed the smaller camera body and smaller lenses to remove much of the intimidation from people as I took photos. For the first time, my 5DMKII felt like an impediment. And the urge to buy an X-Pro grows by the day.
It's a beautiful camera. Is it worth the purchase? Depends on what you want to do. If you're very new to the photography scene, then probably it's better to stick to cheaper, entry-level DLR cameras from Nikon or Canon. If you're looking for a camera you'd pick up and enjoy taking photos with – despite its quirkiness – then yeah, this one's for you.

Witnesses reported that the airplane was departing a private airstrip. It reached an altitude of about 200-300 feet above the ground when the engine lost all power, and the airplane began a left turn. During the turn, the airplane's nose pitched down abruptly, and the airplane collided with the ground in a steep, nose-down attitude. Two of the witnesses, both of whom are pilots, noted that before the loss of power, the engine made some popping noises and sounded unusual.A postaccident examination of the airframe and engine disclosed no mechanical malfunctions. A carburetor icing probability chart indicated that the relative humidity and temperature at a nearby airport about the time of the accident was conducive to serious icing at glide power. Although carburetor icing was possible, absent any mechanical malfunctions or fuel contamination, it could not be determined why the engine lost power. The accident site was adjacent to a road and about 300 yards from a clear field. Despite these potential landing areas, the pilot decided to attempt to return to the airstrip by initiating a turn at low altitude and low airspeed following the loss of engine power, which resulted in an aerodynamic stall and a loss of control with insufficient altitude to recover.During the impact, the pilot's seat separated from the airframe and moved forward about 6 inches, which allowed the pilot to impact the instrument panel and subsequently contributed to the severity of the pilot's injuries.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

This week's best dressed round up so has been hijacked by all things Wimbledon. Have you heard that Andy Murray won? But we also have had a masterclass in model off-duty dressing as Rosie Huntington-Whiteley arrived in Australia looking flawless in ice blue Pierre Balmain jeans, a snuggly coat-igan, IRO 'Merrick' sand booties, a straw hat and a giant red Gucci bag. Then Miranda Kerr stepped out in a Topshop floral midi with a white tee- she has really upped her fashion game recently.
Our favourite couple Diane Kruger and Joshua Jackson attended the LA premiere of The Bridge last night. Krugs wore a Jonathan Saunders green, white and black ombré chiffon dress, paired with a Charlotte Olympia perspex clutch.

Wimbledon Final - 7 July 2013
On centre court Kim Sears looked lovely in a crochet sleeved mint green Victoria Victoria Beckham dress, which she matched with her wedges and trusty Mulberry bag. But bad news for K Sears copy cats, the dress which is worth £925 is now sold out. Oh and the hair, the hair was bigger and better than ever. Victoria Beckham was also in the Royal Box in a lingerie-inspired Louis Vuitton slip dress. Just last week she tweeted a picture while on set with fashion photographer Boo George in the very same grey check, spaghetti strap dress with lingerie-inspired lace detailing. A souvenir from the shoot, perhaps?

Live: Sudanese primate calls on Robinson to resign (updated)
fourth version, includes response from Bishop Robinson's spokesman
By Jim Naughton
The Primate of the Church of the Sudan, the Most Rev. Daniel Deng called on the Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson to resign to preserve the unity of the Anglican Communion.
"God is not making a mistake creating Adam and Eve," Deng said, asserting that homosexual activity contradicted Biblical teaching. "He would have created two Adams if he wanted."
Deng said Robinson's resignation would allow the bishops who are not at the Lambeth Conference to reconcile with the Communion. He claimed to speak for 150 bishops from 17 provinces who had held a meeting during the conference.
"Gene Robinson should just go away from the Anglican world and be a normal Christian," said Deng. He said he could not predict the future of the Communion if Robinson did not resign.
Robinson's spokesman Mike Barwell said the bishop would not respond until he had seen a transcript of Deng's remarks.
"There have been calls for his resignation since the day he was nominated. He has been very clear he would not step down... and that even if he did, the whole issue of gay clergy and gay bishops would not go away," Barwell said.
Many Episcopal bishops could not comment on Deng's press conference because they were unaware it had taken place.
Deng said he hoped that the Lambeth Conference would make a decision on homosexuality that Archbishop Rowan Williams would enforce.
Asked whether there were homosexuals in Sudan, Deng said, "They have not come to the surface, so no, I don't think we have them."
Deng's comments were made in the media room at the Lambeth Conference in an interview arranged after two statements from his church appeared in the media room this morning. The other statement concerned the civil war in the Sudan and the genocide in Darfur.
His comments came as a surprise to Episcopal bishops at the conference. The Churches of Sudan, Burundi and Tanzania are to be guests of Presiding Bishop Katharine Jefferts Schori of the Episcopal Church at a wine and cheese party on Saturday evening on the conference grounds.
A spokesman for Deng said he believed that Sudanese bishops would attend the party. "It's nothing personal," he said.
Deng and Jefferts Schori recently spent time together in Salisbury during the pre-Lambeth hospitality initiative.
The Church of Sudan has extensive relationships with Episcopal churches maintained through American Friends of the Episcopal Church of Sudan.
Following Deng's statement, the Rev. Dr. Chuck Robertson, canon to the presiding bishop who had also come to the press room, said the Episcopal Church wanted to continue to work in partnership with other provinces on the mission and ministry of the church.
An Episcopal bishop said he believed conservative American bishops were involved in publicizing the statement, but Deng's spokesman denied that.
In a related development, Bishop Jack Iker of Forth Worth, called on the bishops of his own church who supported Robinson to go home.

The Guardian article is here
Ruth Gledhill of The Times reports here.
The Rev. Susan Russell, President of Integrity, responds here.
What is news is that the Archbishop of the Sudan helped make the case on Tuesday that the schism facing the Anglican Communion is the direct result of hard-line reactionaries who will stop of nothing short of compliance with their narrow, exclusionist agenda as their criterion for being in communion.
Louie Crew, founder of Integrity, writes here.

"go away from the Anglican world and be a normal Christian"?
Everything that has come to my mind on reading this is so uncharitable that I don't dare post my thoughts...other than to say "May God have mercy on all of us, for our blindnesses and hardness of heart."
Paige Baker
"Gene Robinson should just go away from the Anglican world and be a normal Christian."
It's odd to find this fragment of acknowledgment of something Gene's friends and supporters know and celebrate in Archbishop Deng's impatient prooftexting. Gene is a normal Christian and in fact, if Archbishop Deng would talk to him, he might learn that Gene is a very compelling witness for Christian faith as well.
How could being a normal (ordinary?) Christian prevent Gene from being an Anglican or the bishop to people who elected him?
Beyond this odd rhetorical twist, I find myself wondering what it will take to get us all - Anglicans worldwide - to listen to one another in serious, responsible conversations about how we read the Bible, what it says verse by verse, and how the unfolding process we see there of faithful people discovering (often against their own intuition and received previous teaching) that God's mercy is truly constant and God's embrace of us all unfailing.
What a travesty it would be for Gene to resign, what an appalling declaration that to be Anglican meant valuing 'unity' over any Good News that God may be speaking to us.
Asked whether there were homosexuals in Sudan, Deng said, "They have not come to the surface, so no, I don't think we have them."
This is perhaps the most important and telling part of this whole statement. As far as this primate and millions of Anglicans around the world are concerned, this is Someone Else's Problem.
The Sudanese statement:
" In view of the present tensions and divisions within the Anglican Communion, and out of deep concern for the unity of the Church, we consider it important to express clearly the position of the Episcopal Church of the Sudan (ECS) concerning human sexuality.
We believe that God created humankind in his own image; male and female he created them for the continuation of humankind on earth. Women and men were created as God's agents and stewards on earth We believe that human sexuality is God's gift to human beings which is rightly ordered only when expressed within the life-long commitment of marriage between one man and one woman. We require all those in the ministry of the Church to live according to this standard and cannot accept church leaders whose practice is contrary to this.
We reject homosexual practice as contrary to biblical teaching and can accept no place for it within ECS. We strongly oppose developments within the Anglican Church in the USA and Canada in consecrating a practicing homosexual as bishop and in approving a rite for the blessing of same-sex relationships. This has not only caused deep divisions within the Anglican Communion but it has seriously harmed the Church's witness in Africa and elsewhere, opening the church to ridicule and damaging its credibility in a multi-religious environment.
The unity of the Anglican Communion is of profound significance to us as an expression of our unity within the Body of Christ. It is not something we can treat lightly or allow to be fractured easily. Our unity expresses the essential truth of the Gospel that in Christ we are united across different tribes, cultures and nationalities. We have come to attend the Lambeth Conference, despite the decision of others to stay away, to appeal to the whole Anglican Communion to uphold our unity and to take the necessary steps to safeguard the precious unity of the Church.
Out of love for our brothers and sisters in Christ, we appeal to the Anglican Church in the USA and Canada, to demonstrate real commitment to the requests arising from the Windsor process. In particular:
- To refrain from ordaining practicing homosexuals as bishops or priests
- To refrain from approving rites of blessing for same-sex relationships
- To cease court actions with immediate effect;
- To comply with Resolution 1:10 of the 1998 Lambeth Conference
- To respect the authority of the Bible
We believe that such steps are essential for bridging the divisions which have opened up within the Communion.
We affirm our commitment to uphold the four instruments of communion of the Anglican Communion: the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Lambeth Conference, the Primates' Meeting and the Anglican Consultative Council; and call upon all Provinces of the Communion to respect these for the sake of the unity and well-being of the Church.
We appeal to this Lambeth Conference to rescue the Anglican Communion from being divided. We pray that God will heal us from the spirit of division. We pray for God's strength and wisdom so that we might be built up in unity as the Body of Christ.
The Most Revd Dr Daniel Deng Bul
Archbishop and Primate of the Episcopal Church of the Sudan and Bishop of Juba
This is really getting tiresome. Maybe the North Atlantic churches (there are more than that, but...) are wrong about committed same-sex relationships. I don't think we are, but unlike some within as well as outside Anglicanism, I do not believe in my own infallibility. But whether we are right or whether we are wrong, this is *not* an articulus stantis et cadentis ecclesiae. It just isn't. And anyone who thinks so has a very peculiar notion of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Archbishop Deng has enough problems to minister to in Sudan without spending his time on the Bishop of New Hampshire.
When someone says "why doesn't he just go away", well, I find it pretty hard to listen to very much after that. I think, rather, "Why don't you just go away?"
This is ridiculous. The reality is that there are a lot of emotional attachments to something that is as unreal as unicorns or basilisks. The Anglican Communion is finished, and constructive moves forward are what we need right now, not harmful attachments.
I rather like the implication that it's not possible to be a "normal Christian" in the Anglican World. There are days when one wonders, of course.
Is there a web or printed source for the direct quotation posted as a part of this article:
"Gene Robinson should just go away from the Anglican world and be a normal Christian," said Deng.
Thanks for any help.
Clemmitt Sigler
Thanks to help from another, I've found a video source for the quote I asked about above. My most careful transcript of the quotation in question, taken from an edited snippet at run time approx. 1:23 to 1:31 in a Ruth Gledhill YouTube posting, is:
"What we want is that Gene Robinson have to be away from the Anglican world, and be a normal Christian."
Please note that he doesn't use the words "go away," which would be most inflammatory. I believe this has a different connotation than the quotation posted in this article, but others might disagree. I have little experience in speaking with people from East Africa for whom English may not be their native language.
Clemmitt Sigler
This is the first of a series of statements and press-releases trying to polemize the issue around homosexuality that will be released throughout this conference. The Lambeth Conference this year was designed not to have any statement at all, and the pace of the indaba process has probably got on some people's nerves. Those people, who want to force their "shun X and Y churches" agenda, will try, repetitively, to force certain figures to release similar statements.
For those who know African culture(s), it's clear that most bishops in that context will be as opposed to homosexuality as our grandparents, or great-grandparents were. They are the easy target for those who want to push their agenda. They are not better or worse Christians than me or any of you. They just come from a different context. If we didn't have all this "behind the scenes" orchestra, we wouldn't see as much of the shunning spectacle.
The good feeling I have from what I've seen so far is that such desperate measures seem to me like extreme attempts of hijacking a power that does not belong to those who planned them anymore, and they won't probably have it again.
A commenter on Ruth Gledhill's blog noted that we should respond to what Archbishop Deng actually said, rather than what he is assumed to have said. Good point. So I watched Ruth's video of the news conference. Obviously Deng strongly disapproves of the "North Atlantic" actions on committed same-sex relationships (a subject about which he seems not well informed), but I am not hearing from him the level of hatred and bile that comes from some other Primates on this subject. Nevertheless he still seems to think that the way to solve the problem he perceives is to throw *somebody else* under the bus. That just won't do.
Slightly OT, for a very moving account of the "Lost Boys" of Sudan, see the documentary "God Grew Tired of Us."
The demand that TEC "cease court actions with immediate effect" makes it pretty clear who's calling the tune here.
It's tempting to get all up in a twist about this, but Jesus wanted us to forgive again. And again. And again. Until we get nailed to wood for doing it. And then again.
I'm reminded of Jay Bakker apologising for Christians. Abp Deng is still "one of us" from the outside looking in. And so we need to start apologising to the world for how we act. As Jay puts it, "We're sorry for being self-righteous judgemental bastards." It's going to take that kind of meta-confession for us to do Gospel and betaken seriously in the world. Look at the Pope asking forgiveness for the sins of his clergy. That should be us as well.
There is no "us and them" here. There is a world of broken humanity, some of whom participate in what we claim to be the solution to that brokenness. But we are broken as well. So we need to ask forgiveness for our brother Daniel - and all of us.
But I agree the Church should drop the lawsuits in secular courts. That's one part of St Paul I agree with 100%. When we take each other to court over property we are a laughing stock.
I know Archbishop Deng means "go be a layman", but the irony is strong. We need to be away from all this churchiantiy and political power plays and go be normal Christian for a while.
I was so sorry to read Bishop Deng Bul's comments, because my diocese (Chicago) has been in a relationship with his former diocese, Renk, for many years. Several parishes have sent delegations to the Sudan to volunteer there.
Also: it's important to check primary source material. Still, I'm surprised and sorry to read of this development.
I can only think that once again, it's a case of following the money, as we all learned here before.

In a normal heart, the coronary arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to the heart tissue. The blood is then returned through a coronary vein. With a coronary artery fistula, the artery connects to a wrong part of the heart (eg, the heart chamber or other blood vessels).
The Coronary Arteries
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
This condition can be mild to severe. Other heart defects may be present as well.
This condition is typically a congenital defect. This means that the baby is born with it. It is not known exactly why the coronary artery develops abnormally in some babies. It can also occur after birth due to infection, injury, or heart surgery.
For many congenital heart defects, the risk factors are unclear.
Children with this condition usually do not have any symptoms. Sometimes the condition is noticed by a
heart murmur
that the doctor hears during a physical exam. Occasionally, other symptoms may include:
If your child has any of these symptoms, get medical care right away. In severe cases, this condition can lead to a
heart attack
or a ruptured fistula.
The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Tests may include:
Talk with the doctor about the best treatment plan for your child. Options include:
Surgeries that may be done to treat this condition include:
Your child will have regular exams by a heart doctor.
Preventing heart defects may not always be possible. However, getting regular prenatal care is always important.

A new study by the Health Access Resource Center shows that 28.6 percent of residents 18 to 64 are uninsured. That's compared to 21.3 percent nationwide, according to the 2011 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). That same survey showed that 1 in 5 Californians under age 65 lack health insurance and 9.2 percent of children in the Golden State are uninsured.

Friday, 02 March 2012 00:00The high taxes; reduced bond ratings and takeover by a financial control board has little to do with the closing of the 4th Precinct.
Nassau's financial woes are far more global in that its politicians have mismanaged this County for years where political favoritism in every aspect of governance has been the modus operandi. The Tea Party has stopped short of a municipal revolution. These problems have been brewing for decades. They are not remediable by the closing of the 4th Precinct.
The closing of Nassau's Police Lab and the re-testing of up to 9,000 cases will cost taxpayers several million dollars. So will the negligence of police in failing to properly respond to reports of domestic violence. Our police force has been the highest paid in the nation with some breath technicians being paid $160,000 per year and pension payouts and early retirement incentives making some of the senior brass millionaires.
Crime nationwide has been on the decline for 20 years, yet we are the most incarcerated nation on earth. We have overbuilt the number of prisons in lieu of job, drug and alcohol treatment alternatives. It costs us $35,000 to $50,000 per year to house a single prisoner and $20,000 for a program.
The Taylor Law has prevented strikes by municipal employees but also spawned mandatory arbitration with unions. Politicians looking for endorsements and contributions have caved into unions and arbitration awards have overextended the abilities of taxpayers to keep up with these costs. Political patronage rather than employment on the basis of merit or need has been the practice of both political parties. It continues today on many levels. We long ago reached the law of diminishing returns.
For example, the retention of outside litigation and transactional counsel by the County and some financial settlements that have arisen out of political ties have for many years caused payouts to be made to lawyers for legal fees and litigants sometimes undeserving of the millions given to them. In like manner, law firms handling tax certiorari cases in our flawed assessment system have cost taxpayers millions. There is no incentive to fix the system as long as power brokers control its purse strings.
There is a massive cover up of these problems by unions and politicians. It is time to talk straight to voters if we ever expect to bring this County back to where it belongs – a true diamond in the rough.

Attorney, Garden City Village Justice, Westbury

Trent Reznor Talks 'The Social Network' and Social Networking, Is Skeptical
Though Reznor has been famous for using new media to promote his albums virally, he bid farewell to Twitter last year, and only uses Facebook to stay "closer to people that I hadn't been in contact with that I actually know as real human beings." He admits that the site is a good tool, but Zuckerberg was merely at the right place at the right time. Perhaps it's a bit curmudgeonly of Reznor, but when a guy who's been in the music industry (and in L.A.) for over 20 years calls the 'Book "false" and filled with false identities, maybe there is something sinister about Zuckerberg's progeny.

a result of the addition of the DER; and (2) determining the consequent change in fuel use and emissions.
While the conventional wisdom is that adding DER automatically will displace new CC production, we found that assumption was not correct. In the scenarios with baseload DER, multiple types of production were displaced, even if gas CC capacity was canceled in response to the DER ( see Figure 3 ). Coal capacity was displaced in all cases, representing those times when coal plants were on the margin. If no plants were canceled or if older plants were retired, then a fair amount of gas-fired combustion turbine production was displaced, even though oil-fired steam units were the main technology retired. Even if the DER experienced random forced outages, the other technologies would drop in the same proportions as shown in Figure 3 because the outages could occur randomly anywhere along the LDC.
The fuel prices in the reference cases were based on the fuel prices paid by the individual plants in the region between 1999 and 2001. The price averages are shown in Table 1. With the recent run-up in natural gas and oil prices, it was worthwhile to evaluate what would happen if higher prices were used [ Short-Term Energy Outlook 1]. With higher gas prices, the dispatch order changes so that gas-fired plants run less often. This in turn places oil-fired plants on the margin more often, so that they are displaced by DER more often ( see Figure 3 ). Even in the cases where new CC capacity was canceled, the displaced production from CC represented less than 80 percent of the total displaced; without cancellation of CC capacity, the amount of CC capacity displaced was closer to 60 percent.
In the scenarios with DER operating during weekdays only, the impact of new gas CC capacity was more evident ( see Figure 4 ). When 2,000 MW from new CC plants were canceled, their lost production was greater than the amount added from the peaking distributed generation. As a consequence, other central plants increased their production to make up the deficit. This somewhat overstates the amount of CC that would be canceled to compensate for the DER, however. Because the DER operated only during weekdays, weekend demands were unaffected and the overall peak demand declined by only 510 MW. If we canceled just 600 MW of new CC in order to maintain the same system-reserve margin, then no central generation increased its production to replace lost CC capacity; all declined. If old plants were retired (1,845 MW oil, 155 MW coal), then coal-fired electricity production declined significantly. And with higher gas and oil prices, oil generation was on the margin much more than in the reference cases, as in the baseload cases. Thus in the cancel scenario, oil-fired steam units increased their production more to compensate for the loss of gas CC production.
Net Emissions Changes
As production from each generating technology changes, the energy use and emissions picture changes. The characteristics of the DER used for the analysis are

1. Swiss Army Farmer pocket knife - from £12 (Amazon) - I have one of these on my key chain and I use it on an almost daily basis, mainly for taking tags off stuff and fixing broken nails. I'm sure a man would find more manly uses for it too though.2. Cashmere scarf - $110 / £110 (J Crew) - because maybe he'll let you borrow it too.
3. 52 New Things by Nick J Thorpe - a year spent trying one new thing every week, from breaking a world record to recording a Christmas single. An inspiring and entertaining read for everyone (not just men).
4. Leather wash bag - $110 / £110 (J Crew) - so your man can feel more distinguished when he travels.
5. Cashmere sweater - £80 (Uniqlo) simple, classic and a great price, as far as cashmere goes.
6. Storm proof umbrella - (Senz via Amazon) - these technical umbrellas won't turn inside out in winds less than 80 km/hr.
7. Socks - $14.50 / £14.50 (J Crew) - one of my default stocking stuffers, J Crew socks are so soft and comfy that I bagged some for myself last year too.
8. Titanium hip flask - $160 (Snow Peak) - super light and strong, titanium won't add metallic taste to this rather dashing flask's contents.9. Steam gift card - a given for anyone who plays video games, which is 95% of the men I know.
10. Lightning bolt ankle reflectors - $16 - will make him go faster. Probably.
11. Seiko chronograph SNDA65 watch - $120 (Amazon) - great looking, very accurate, pretty much bomb-proof and not a bad price at all.
12. Petzl head torch - from $20 (Amazon) - I once lost my Petzl torch just before the first big snow storm one winter in Chicago. When the last manky pile of snow melted from the edge of the sidewalk, there it was, sitting right where I'd dropped it months earlier. It still worked, which I think says a lot about the engineering.

Many will gladly claim the Jesus and Mary Chain as an influence, but for most, it's lip service, amounting to little more than a prim touch of feedback on an otherwise pristine chorus. NYC's Young Boys, fronted by native Minnesotan David McDaniel, are one of the few to follow the Reid brothers completely down the rabbit hole—engaging Psychocandy's most caustic, foreboding extremes. On their double A-side single "Bring Em Down"/"Runaway May," the quartet favor sheer heft over identifiable song structure, obliterating the melodic foundations and whipping up a nearly impenetrable din. Many will no doubt be put off by the band's radical approach, but give credit to the Young Boys for remembering that, in their day, the Jesus and Mary Chain were as despised as they were celebrated.
