Some people are worried about the "future proofing" of the Note 4. The worry seems to be that, if Samsung keeps the Note 4 as 32-bit only, when some models are capable of running in 64-bit mode, then the Note 4 has no future, it is doomed. Such thinking really isn't warranted. Let me explain.

QNAP NAS server makes the business grade
QNAP's TS-EC1279U-RP rack-mount array combines midrange muscle, capacity, and redundancy at a low-end price
I've seen a number of QNAP NAS arrays over the years, and the TS-EC1279U-RP is the best of the bunch so far. Previous iterations were solid performers for the price, but they lacked features that would bring them to the next level. This has been sorted out with the QNAP TS-EC1279U-RP.
My main issues with midrange NAS devices have been a shortage of backplane capacity and the absence of redundant power supplies. QNAP has addressed these shortcomings quite nicely with this rack-mount unit, which not only sports redundant power supplies in a sleek 2U chassis, but also brings together a strong disk I/O subsystem and 10GbE network interfaces to move the TS-EC1279U-RP into the realm of big, fast, reliable storage for small to medium-size businesses.
[ Also on InfoWorld: Synology RackStation: Virtualization storage on the cheap | NAS shoot-out: 5 storage servers battle for business | Subscribe to InfoWorld's storage newsletter and stay on top of the latest info. ]
It wasn't so long ago that the delta between low-end and high-end storage arrays was large in almost every respect: price, capacity, performance, and reliability. Many companies were forced to purchase storage that far exceeded their performance needs in order to get the densities they desired or the redundancy that would let them sleep at night. It wasn't uncommon to find that storage was the most expensive line item in a data center expansion or renovation simply because IT refused to deploy devices that lacked suitable redundancy features. That time has passed.
Capacity and redundancy at the right price
Priced around $6,700 with 12TB of raw capacity, the TS-EC1279U-RP offers storage densities that would have cost substantially more only a few years ago; even greater densities can be achieved with the high capacity of today's SATA drives. Buy the empty chassis for $4,699, add your own drives (up to 3TB each) to the 12-spindle chassis, and you could beef up this unit to hold 36TB of raw capacity -- a conservative 27TB when configured in RAID6 with a hot spare disk. The TS-EC1279U-RP can be equipped with either 2.5- or 3.5-inch drives, including SATA solid-state drives, and the system supports SATA 6Gbps throughput.
On the I/O side, QNAP offers the TS-EC1279U-RP with four built-in Gigabit Ethernet interfaces and optional dual 1GbE or 10GbE interfaces. Because the unit supports Ethernet link aggregation, you could combine these interfaces into larger pipes, or with the 10GbE option, provide network redundancy to two 10GbE switches without sacrificing network performance.

Current Catalog
Program Requirements
Sample Four-Year Plan
Certification in Grades 4th & 5th added to the Early Childhood license
The Early Childhood Education Generalist endorsement is an "add on" to the Early Childhood Education license. This endorsement prepares teachers to work with students in grades four and five and allows the teacher-candidate to be licensed in Pre-Kindergarten–fifth grade. This endorsement can be easily completed with an additional nine credit hours that are completed during a May term and an additional licensure exam.
Certification in 4th–9th Grades
In the Middle Childhood Education Program, teacher candidates choose two concentration areas of study:
In addition to proficiency in two of these concentrations, candidates take three courses in study. At the successful completion of the program, a candidate is certified to teach two disciplines in grades 4 through 9.
At Cedarville University, there are specialized courses specifically for middle childhood. When studying science, for example, there are specialized courses such as science concepts, methods, and environmental science just for the middle childhood major. The same is true for the other three concentrations. Candidates experience more than 200 hours of field experience, including 60 hours of co-teaching in an urban setting and special education. Prior to the candidates' 16-week student teaching internship experience, candidates experience a structured field experience in reading and in their areas of concentration. Our graduates are very well prepared for taking charge of a middle school classroom.
Certification in Kindergarten–12th grade
The multi-age licensure education programs prepare students to work with students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. The Ohio Department of Education has approved Cedarville University to issue multi-age licenses in the areas of:
Music Education
The Bachelor of Music Education prepares student to teach vocal, instrumental, or general music in grades K–12 in public and Christian schools. Two tracks, choral and instrumental, are available.
Spanish Education
Physical and Health Education
The physical education and health major provides students a multilevel background in fitness, sports, recreation, and health knowledge as well as skills, dispositions, and teaching competencies.
Two tracks are available:
Certification for Kindergarten - 12th grade
Graduates of the Multi-Age Special Education Program are prepared for the Ohio Intervention Specialist: Mild to Moderate license. Teachers with this specialty are prepared to:
Early Childhood & Special Education double major
Our program has been designed so that teacher candidates may major in both Early Childhood Education and Multi-Age Special Education. Courses align to allow the double major to be completed in nine semesters. The double major may be completed in four years with an additional semester of coursework completed during May or Summer terms or by completing an additional semester. At the completion of this double major, teacher candidates will receive licensure in both Early Childhood Education and Intervention Specialist: Mild to Moderate.

Charmingly Ghetto - The Plight
Artist: Charmingly Ghetto
Producer: Introspective Minds
Album: Overstanding
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 9 votes )
Talk about a bait and switch; on his first feature, Charmingly Ghetto lures listeners in with the promise of something, well, charmingly ghetto, only to turn around and force us to think about the totally un-charming realities of inner-city poverty and racial inequity. No, of course I'm not being sarcastic. (OK, I am.) On this new EP single, the Beantown native bulldozes rap's glamorized depictions of the street life, illuminating The Plight of those left with no recourse but making a living through crime. Introspective Minds take an understated approach behind the boards, blending atmospheric strings with smooth sax riffs (courtesy of Baba Kamal) and a low-key bassline as the headliner turns a critical eye on gangster mythology. Lending a hand on the back, fellow Boston buzzmaker MC Colo drives the point home: "F*ck these rap kids, n*ggas hustle 'cause they have to / no benefits and no days off." Has this jam left you craving more thought-provoking new material? Ask and ye shall receive; Charmingly Ghetto's latest street release, the Overstanding EP, will be available in June 7th via RubyHornet.com.

'Twas the nightmare before christmas'Twas the nightmare before christmas, and all through the town,
Not a goblin was stirring, not even a louse.
The pumpkins were hung by the fence with care,
In hopes that king Jack might soon be there.
The monsters were hiding all under the beds,
While visions of dead things danced in their heads.
And the witch in the woods, and ghosts in the house,
Had just settled down for a long winter's nap.
When out on the hill there arose such a clatter,
Sally snuck from the lair to see what was the matter.
Away to the field she ran with a flash,
And hid by a pumpkin at the back of the patch.
The moon with an eerie haunted glow,
Gave such a small light to the objects below,
When, what to my wandering eyes should behold,
But Skellington Jack and his dog Zero.
His head was high, but on his face was a frown,
Then he widened his eyes and raised up his brow.
He started to sing with a tune deep and cold,
"I have grown so tired of the things of old.

I don't know if it's as good of a performance as last time but the questions were more difficult here too so maybe in relativity we've done the same just the questions are different."The Envirothon has been taking place since 1990.The group that organizes the event says the competition has expanded each year.Tish Carr of the Maine Association of Conservation Districts says the competition gives students the opportunity to show off what they've been working on all year."Put in a tremendous amount of effort and this is kind of like the icing on the cake."

A state police tactical team was called to a home in Bradford Thursday in response to a reported standoff.Officials say 57-year-old Clarence Rairdon Jr. threatened his ex-girlfriend with an axe.By the time officers responded to the scene at the intersection of Rt. 221 and Rt. 155 around 11:30 a.m., the ex-girlfriend had fled the home, and Rairdon refused to come out.Officials later secured the area and blocked off the street because Rairdon suggested he may have explosives.Sergeant Sean Hashey says tactical teams used a robotic camera to get closer to the home, eventually using tear gas to get Rairdon out of the building.State police say Rairdon was intoxicated when he was taken into custody just before 6:45 p.m.As authorities were taking Rairdon into custody, he told TV5 that he "was only trying to protect his home."The ex-girlfriend was reportedly not injured, and no weapons or explosives were found in the home.Rairdon has been charged with felony terrorizing and is being held at Penobscot County Jail on $10,000 cash bail.

A woman suing a convicted rapist and her former employer for sexual harassment, took the stand at a trial in Ellsworth Wednesday.Patty Smith worked at Manset Yacht Service in Southwest Harbor.So did Peter Mills. He was convicted of drugging and raping three women in 2005.Now Smith alleges that Mills and the Boatyard owner, Robert Brown subjected her to almost daily harassment.On the stand, Patty Smith testified that the alleged harassment she endured while working at Manset Yacht Service in 2004 and 2005 made her feel "terrible, humiliated and degraded".She says that defendants Peter Mills, who was an employee at Manset Yacht, and owner Bob Brown often talked explicitly about female body parts, and Brown would look through lingerie magazines suggesting the outfits become the uniforms for female employees.Smith left for a time, but returned to work at the boatyard, because she says Mills was not working there. He was eventually rehired as her boss.Smith says when she complained and asked Brown to put an end to the harassment she was told to "get over it".Smith says she eventually resigned after Mills physically assaulted her in July 2005.A counselor took the stand, saying he diagnosed Smith with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder related to the alleged harassment.Brown's attorney, tried to poke holes in his story along with Smith's.He suggests the PTSD diagnosis can be tied to assaults that happened before Smith ever worked at the boatyard.Then it was time for Mills, who is representing himself to question, Smith.Something that was difficult for Smith's family to watch."Very difficult because I don't think he should have been able to go up there and ask the questions."They say the last five years have been difficult for Smith, but she just wanted to get her day in court to face her alleged perpetrators."I can't reiterate again how proud I am of her what a giant step she's taken not only for her and her family that's present but also for the women not only in the area but statewide and hopefully nationwide someday.""that's the big cause, she's trying to get across, is to help the other woemn who come behind her in these situations. I think she did that and I'm proud of her."Another woman who also worked at the boatyard, testified Wednesday, saying she also witnessed harassment by the defendants.Brown has filed a countersuit, alleging the complaints are false and have hurt his business.The trial recessed on Wednesday. No date has been set for it to resume.
Stimulus dollars are being used in different ways around the state. A pair of local business owners say their new restaurant is proof of how the small business loan program works."Machias Savings Bank gave us a call one afternoon to let us know it went through," says Roy Boothby.Boothby and his wife, Mary, say thanks to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, they were able to open a second location for their ACME Pizza and Wing Company, on outer Hammond street on the Bangor-Hermon town line.Provisions of the act eliminate fees and temporarily increase the SBA loan guarantee to 90 percent."Because with the 90 percent guarantee, that closed the gap between capitalized and undercapitalized, so it made the loan doable, and it actually helped us be in business," Boothby says.They saved about two-thousand dollars in fees."They employ 16 people here, so it's a good turnaround for the money," says Marilyn Geroux of the Small Business Administration.She says the number of loans in our area isn't increasing that much, but the amount of the loans is going up."It's jumped by almost 69 percent in the amount of dollars loaned, in just the two and a half months since the recovery act," Geroux says."One of the things we're seeing is fewer new businesses starting, there's some hesitancy in existing businesses to grow," says Jim Donnelly of Machias Savings Bank.He says ACME's success could help new business owners see their potential."They're just nervous about what's going on. We want to kind of help them make that next step, which I think will help us all," Donnelly says."We're an example of probably many," Boothby says. "The good news is, we're Main Street Mainers in Bangor, and we're working hard to create a living for ourselves in a very tough economic environment."
A local businessman is having some early success with a new product. It's sold through multi-level marketers, similar to Mary Kay.But Clayton Fowlie isn't selling make-up. He's selling health, on a strip.Fowlie brought Enlyten strips to the East Coast in January. The product delivers supplements through a strip placed on the inside of your cheek."Rather than ingesting supplements through the digestive tract, they determined going through the buccal mucosa, a highly vascular region of your cheek and gum, could deliver them more effectively and efficiently," he says.Enlyten was developed by researchers a few years ago. Fowlie, who's the director of the Maine Center for Integrated Rehab, is hoping they'll catch on in our area.There are strips with electrolytes, antioxidants, melatonin, energy, and most recently, strips developed for weight loss."These are things people are using already. We're just giving them a new delivery system," Fowlie says.Tim Jundt sells the strips at Snap Fitness in Brewer."I worked shift work for 21 years and I couldn't sleep," Jundt says. "The melatonin made me sleep seven to eight hours. And I haven't slept more than 4-5 hours in years."Trainer Stacy Stack says the energy strips work for him."I recommend this to my clients because it's the best. This right now, you get the most bang for your buck," Stack says.Fowlie's now working with area college sports teams. He hopes to take the product down the East Coast."I realized as I got involved with the company in the first couple of weeks," he says, "I was onto something huge."Enlyten strips haven't been approved by the FDA. Fowlie says they're not required to be, and that most of the ingredients in the strips are things people are using already.As with any such product, if you have questions, be sure to ask your doctor.
Lucienne Dionne Cloutier, of Old Town, will celebrate her 100th birthday, June 24, 2009. Today at the state house Mrs. Cloutier was recognized for her upcoming milestone. She was born in Quebec and came to Maine at the age of 3. She became a United States Citizen at 37 years of age. Mrs. Cloutier and her husband, Nelson, had 4 children and Mrs. Cloutier has 12 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren and 2 great-great-grandchildren. Mrs. Cloutier has been active in her community and is a valued volunteer at Holy Family Parish in Old Town. She is a charter member of the Old Town Senior Citizens' Club, she enjoys playing in Keno tournaments and she walks a quarter mile every day. Cloutier says the secret to having a happy, healthy long life is to be kind to yourself and those around you, eat right and exercise.
A local refuge offers a place for wild animals needing help.Native American history is also a big part of the operation."The object of the whole refuge is to keep it as natural as we can."For the Hirundo Refuge in the Old Town area, this means they don't cut any trees or build anything unless it benefits wildlife.The refuge is open to the public year-round, seven days a week, for the public to explore."If you're walking slow and you're looking, you are going to see animals."Hirundo also provides a place for animal rehabilitation."And what we do is we'll take in usually orphan animals, mother gets killed something like that, and we'll get the babies that will not survive on their own."Once the animals are healthy, they try to release them back where they were found. If that's not possible, they make sure it's a remote area.Another big part of the refuge is it's Native American history."And we want to cooperate with the Native Americans because we have such an area that is related directly to them."This weekend, Maine Tribal Specialist David Sligger is offering some background on Native American history."Explain to people some of the plants and animals that they Wabanakis used here in Maine and it's really to give people a understanding of and appreciation of Wabanaki culture and history."A culture and heritage that Sligger says can easily be over-looked."A lot of people read about the Wabanaki but don't know that much about what they use from Mother Earth."Hirundo care taker Fred Bryant says no matter what, you'll leave the refuge with some great knowledge and a better appreciation of wildlife.The refuge is open all-year long but the workshop on Native American history is only being offered this Saturday, May thirtieth from 10 til 2.If you'd like to attend, please call 827-2230 ahead of time to reserve a spot.
Students at United Technologies Center in Bangor have some new tools at their disposal thanks to Lowe's.As part of Lowe's "Tough Tools for Cool Schools Program," the store donated six-hundred dollars worth of tools.Instructor David Stevens says it couldn't have come at a better time."Well you know not much is built without hand tools. You talk a lot about power tools but it still takes hand tools to get the job done, so these will be very helpful within the program."The donation from the Brewer Lowe's is part of a national program.

College of the Atlantic students got to show off their hard work today.They held a ribbon cutting ceremony for Mount Desert Island's first free-standing wind turbine.The ceremony allowed the students to showcase what they've been working on for the past seven months and let the public see the wind turbine.It also gave the community the opportunity to ask questions about the turbine and wind power.C-O-A President David Hales says they hope this project is only the beginning."And progress comes in little practical steps and we hope this is one those important, small practical steps that others will follow."The college of the Atlantic received grant money to buy and install the turbine at beech hill farm.

Folks at the Hammond Street Senior Center in Bangor are cleaning up quite a mess, thanks to the work of vandals. And they say it will cost thousands of dollars to fix the damage.Staff members discovered someone threw rocks through the glass of a handicapped-accessible door, a basement window and an historic double-paned window during the holiday weekend. Insurance will cover most of the repairs, but the senior center will have to pay the $1,000 deductible, a hefty price tag for the non-profit organization. Executive Director Kathy Bernier says, "the fact of our having to spend $1,000 on the replacement of these panes of glass will take away from any income we make on our plant sale this weekend that we were hoping to use toward our programs and activities."The center was already raising money to repair the building's 100-year-old boiler. Police say they have no suspects and say it will be difficult to find the culprits without the help of an eyewitness.If you'd like to help pay for the repairs, the Senior Center plant sale starts at 2 o'clock on Friday afternoon and 8 o'clock Saturday morning.

Overall, it reducesspending by 8 percent compared with the current spending package. Democratic Sen.

Folks in Surry were had at work extracting a tractor from a pier on the Newberry Neck Rd. Tuesday night.The tractor was being used to do some work on the pier when some of the deck gave way and the tractor fell through.The tractor didn't end up in the drink though. Fortunately for the operator, the bucket caught on the guard rail.Crews used a crane on a barge to remove the tractor from the damaged pier, but workers had to wait several hours for the tide to come in before the barge can get close enough.No injuries were reported.
Life Flight was called to a three car accident in Levant Tuesday night.The accident, at the intersection of Rt. 222 and Stetson Rd. Involved an SUV, a minivan and a truck. The SUV was traveling towards Levant on Rt. 222 when it collided with the minivan and truck traveling on the Stetson Rd.Eight people, including three children, were involved in the collision. All eight occupants were taken to Eastern Maine Medical Center. Three of them are listed in critical condition, two of those are children. One of the children were taken to EMMC by Life Light.Penobscot County Sheriff's Dept., State Police and Levant Police Dept. Responded to the crash. A reconstruction team was called to the scene to determine the cause of that accident.
Governor John E. Baldacci today ceremonially signed LD 66, An Act To Amend Maine's Endangered and Threatened Species List by Removing the Bald Eagle. The bill was ceremonially signed during a ceremony at Capitol Park with Lawrence the Bald Eagle present."When you look at this bald eagle, you really get a sense of strength, awe and beauty,†Governor Baldacci said. "Those characteristics are a perfect representation of this great country.â€Bill sponsor Sen. Bruce Bryant (D-Oxford) was in Capitol Park for the ceremony, as was his brother and co-sponsor, Rep. Mark Bryant (D-Windham), and a number of supporters of the legislation.In the 1970s, only 20 nesting pairs of eagles lived in Maine and they were virtually the only ones left in the Northeast. Only one other pair lived in New York. In 1978, the bald eagle was first recognized as an Endangered Species in Maine and 42 other states. Less than 10 years later, further action was taken in the Maine Legislature to protect the bald eagle and other Endangered Species in Maine. With the signing of LD 66, the bald eagle is the first species to be removed from this list.Bald Eagle populations have been restored to more than 475 nesting pairs now in all 16 Maine counties. The legislation ceremonially signed today includes protections that ensure that the bald eagle population in Maine continues to thrive."Thanks to the work of State and federal agencies, the problem has been corrected over the past 30 years in Maine and throughout the country,†the Governor said. "But the government agencies were not alone in their efforts. Conservation organizations, landowners who share their properties with eagles' nests and volunteer citizens helped out, and I would like to thank them for their commitment to this remarkable species.â€
A heroic boat rescue off Jonesport means an Addison man is safe tonight.The rescuer — the man's own 8-year-old grandson."It was right between those two bouys," says 55-year-old lobsterman Lester Drisko. That's where he went overboard Tuesday morning."I was hauling a string of traps, and I got to the last one and wasn't paying attention. So when I dumped the trap out, over the side I went," he says.The water was cold and he was frozen almost instantly. "I was too tired, too weak to get back in the boat," he says.The only other person on the boat was his 8-year-old grandson Mathew, who was too small to pull him back up. But what Mathew did next would save his grandfather's life."I came over and put the life jacket on him," Mathew says. Mathew then took command of the boat and kept close to his grandfather in the water for the next 30 minutes, until he was able to head off a passing boat."I saw him coming over so I stopped him and I said, 'My grandfather just went overboard,' and then they went to pull him in," he says.Leland Faulkingham, Jr. was in that passing boat. He says he's never seen anything like that."I said, something doesn't look right, I knew something must have been wrong…I don't think he would have lasted too much longer if we hadn't gotten there."So how did Mathew know what to do?"Because, he taught me how to shift her in gear and put her in reverse and stuff," he says."I just couldn't have done it, I would have drowned," says his grandfather. "He's a hero, as far as I'm concerned."

Pfeffer, Fabian T. 2008. "Persistent Inequality in Educational Attainment and Its Institutional Context." European Sociological Review, 24(5): 543-565.
Research has repeatedly shown that educational opportunities are distributed unevenly in all countries. Therefore, the question is not whether family background and educational outcomes are related but to what degree they are related. This latter question then invites a comparative perspective. That is, does social inequality in education differ across time and countries? If yes, which institutional characteristics can explain differences in educational inequality? Educational inequality is conceptualized as the association between individuals' and their parents' highest educational level attained. Intergenerational educational mobility processes are analysed for 20 industrialized nations by means of log-linear and log-multiplicative models. The results show that the degree of educational mobility has remained stable across the second half of the 20th century in virtually all countries. However, nations differ widely in the extent to which parents' education influences their children's educational attainment. The degree of educational inequality is associated with the institutional structure of national education systems. Rigid systems with dead-end educational pathways appear to be a hindrance to the equalization of educational opportunities, especially if the sorting of students occurs early in the educational career. This association is not mediated by other institutional characteristics included in this analysis that do not exert notable influences on educational mobility.

US consumer spending flat, income up 0.5 pct.
Americans spent no more in June than they did in May, even though their income grew at the fastest pace in three months.
AP Economics Writer
Americans spent no more in June than they did in May, even though their income grew at the fastest pace in three months.
The lack of growth in spending follows a decline in the previous month, suggesting consumers are staying cautious with their money as they economy weakens.
Income rose 0.5 percent, the Commerce Department said in its June report on consumer spending and income. That was the biggest gain since March and was driven by a 0.5 percent increase in wages, the largest component of income. After-taxes and adjusting for inflation, income grew 0.3 percent.
The extra money in June paychecks went straight to savings. The savings rate rose to 4.4 percent in June, the highest level in a year.
Slower growth in consumer spending this spring was the main reason the economy grew at an annual pace of just 1.5 percent in the April-June quarter. That's less than the 2 percent growth rate in the January-March quarter this year. Consumer spending drives roughly 70 percent of growth.
In June, consumers spent slightly more on services. But they cut back on autos and other long-lasting manufactured goods. They also spent less on non-durable goods, such as clothing, food and gasoline - although some of that may reflect lower gas prices.
"Consumption ended the second quarter on a very weak note as households opted to save rather than spend their extra income," said Paul Dales, senior U.S. economist at Capital Economics. "Renewed concerns over the jobs outlook, growing fears of tax hikes and worries over the health of the overall economy are prompting households to keep their wallets in their pockets."
Economists don't expect growth to accelerate much in the second half of the year. Europe's financial woes and a U.S. budget crisis are likely to weigh on business and consumer confidence. And job growth is expected to stay weak.
Annual growth of 2 percent generally adds only about 90,000 jobs a month, according to economists. That's not enough to drive down the unemployment rate, which is stuck at 8.2 percent. Healthier growth of 4 percent or more is needed to reduce unemployment significantly.
The government will release the July jobs report on Friday. Economists forecast that employers added 100,000 jobs. That would be only slightly better than the 75,000 a month from April through June and still down from a healthy 226,000 average in the first three months of the year.
Without more jobs, income growth is likely to remain sub-par and consumers are likely to remain cautious about spending.
Sluggish economic growth could compel the Federal Reserve to announce further efforts to bolster the economy. Fed officials meet Tuesday and Wednesday.
Still, many private economists believe the Fed will wait until their Sept. 12-13 meeting. That would allow the Fed more time to review the July and August jobs reports before taking new steps.
Economists had hoped that falling gas prices would give consumers more money to spend elsewhere and boost growth in the second half of the year.
But gas prices have stopped falling and have even started to rise in recent weeks. And this summer's severe drought is expected to push food prices up toward the end of the year.

Bulk-water supply to Bethal upgradedBack

© Reuse this Due to increasing water demand in the area, Rand Water appointed consulting, civil engineering and project management firm GFJ Consulting Engineers to upgrade the existing bulk-water supply system to Bethal, in Mpumalanga, in a contract valued at some R10-million.
Bethal, located in the Highveld East Municipality district, is supplied with potable water from Rand Water's Wildebeestfontein reservoir complex, over a distance of approximately 35 km. The initial supply system was constructed during the early 1960s and consisted of a 300-mm- diameter steel/fibre cement pipeline with a booster pumping station located in the vicinity of Trichardt. During the 1980s and 1990s the supply system was extended in phases by adding sections of 450-mm-diameter pipeline in parallel with the existing 300-mm-diameter pipeline.
Rand Water recently acquired the existing bulk-water supply system. Due to increased demand in Bethal, the system capacity is being extended from approximately 10 Ml/day to 15 Ml/day, which will cater for the projected medium-term demand. The extensions included the construction of 10,7 km of 450-mm-diameter steel pipeline and upgrading the existing booster pumping station at Trichardt.
Construction began during September 2001 and commissioning took place in May this year.
The firm was also recently appointed by Mhlathuze Water to formulate a business plan for a subregional water scheme, supplying potable water to the Mbonambi community north of Richards Bay in Kwazulu-Natal.
Mbonambi includes both peri-urban and rural areas. The main purpose of the project is to provide potable water and the secondary issue is employment creation.
The community is involved at all levels of the project. The project steering committee is directly involved in planning. The labour desk assists the contractor with employment of local labour, the technical committee monitors progress and a project liaison officer facilitates with community members directly affected by the project.
The first phase of this project began in January this year and includes the laying of approximately 9,5 km of pipe, which provides potable water to the community using standpipes. The reticulation has been designed to accommodate house connections, as the area served includes a formalised agrivillage within the city of uMhlathuze.
Future phases will serve the balance of the Mbonambi community.
Completion of the R3,6-million first phase of the R69-million project is expected in August.
Another project in which GFJ was involved that is worth mentioning is the upgrading of services at Springs after preparation of a preliminary design report during 2000 to update some of the items listed in the master plan.
The Springs Water Services master plan had identified a number of shortcomings in the water reticulation of Springs, as well as future requirements.
Due to budget constraints, the Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality decided to implement the required upgrading work in two phases.
Phase One comprised the replacing of the existing flow- control systems with new combined altitude and rate-of-flow limiting valves.
This will ensure that Springs withdraws water from Rand Water main connections at controlled and adjustable flowrates.
The near-million-rand project also required that a mechanical flowmeter be installed at each of the four reservoir sites to monitor the quantity of water withdrawn from the Rand Water connections.
Reinforced concrete was used for new control and flow meter chambers due to the sensitive nature of the equipment. Existing chambers and/or structures were retained where possible.
Phase Two includes the installation of a number of interlinking pipelines in the reticulation system to improve water distribution and will start later this year.
GFJ has provided its consulting, civil and structural engineering and project management services in Southern Africa for more than 40 years with increasing exposure in Africa. At present the company runs four offices throughout South Africa with the head office in Pretoria.
Its committment to provide its customers with innovative solutions means that the company gives conscious attention to research and development. Thirteen awards, since 1990, from recognised technical institutions, give credence to the innovative inputs by the company. Eleven of these have been for water-treatment or water-supply projects. These include the first National South African Institution of Civil Engineering Award for Excellence in Community Based Projects and a recent National South African Association of Consulting Engineers Award for Technical Excellence.

Botox-laden swamp-drainer made $100K in two days by savvy investing and blocking legislation, but mostly blocking legislation
Retail investors would love to learn former Speaker Nancy Pelosi's investing secrets, which magically increased her net worth 62% during the worst of the financial crisis (spiking her portfolio's value from $22 million to $35.2 million in a year's time).
CBS News explains how the Botox-laden, swamp-draining, small business-stiffing Pelosi made her millions:
The former speaker and her husband have participated in at least eight IPOs, one of which was from Visa in 2008 – just as a troublesome piece of legislation that would have hurt credit card companies began making its way through the House. The Pelosis purchased 5,000 shares of Visa at the initial price of $44 dollars. Two days later it was trading at $64.
…this stock purchase was made as Visa was engaged in a full-court press to lobby Pelosi to stop legislation to curb credit-card swipe fees to vendors.
In 2007, Visa used an army of lobbyists to try to influence Pelosi, including one of her former advisers, Dean Aguillen… In addition to exploiting the revolving door between Congress and lobbying firms, Visa's political action committee made a $1,000 donation to Pelosi's re-election campaign… Two days after that donation was made, Pelosi met with Visa executives in her office. Aguillen also contributed $1,000 to Pelosi and another $1,000 to the campaign arm of the House Democratic caucusin the first half of 2008.

Created: 04/07/2014 10:38 PM
By: Tessa Mentus, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Dash cam video from New Mexico State Police released Monday captures the minutes before officers shot a man who was driving down the wrong side of I-25 near Las Vegas.
The incident occurred on January 4 on I-25 south in San Miguel County.
Nearly a hundred people called state police telling them about a wrong-way driver on I-25.
Just seconds later, we see the van drive past police.
Police tell the driver to pull the van over, but that doesn't happen.
The driver is 72-year-old Albert Urban, from Hamburg, New York.
When Urban doesn't obey, spike strips come out.
The first attempt fails, but the second try works.
Then, officers make their next move.
Police perform a pit maneuver, running the van off the road. The van flips and Urban drives into police officers.
An officer then gets out of his car and fired at Urban, striking him.
Albert Urban survived that shooting.
The Las Vegas Optic reports the district attorney dropped charges against him because doctors determined he was suffering from a disorder that may have been caused by Alzheimer's or dementia.

Wal-Mart Employees Speak Out About Mandatory Anti-Union Meetings, Political Intimidation
"Wal-Mart Employees Speak Out About Mandatory Anti-Union Meetings, Political Intimidation"
Today, the Wall Street Journal reported that Wal-Mart has been warning its managers that a Democratic victory in the fall would lead to unionization at Wal-Mart stores. "In recent weeks, thousands of Wal-Mart store managers and department heads have been summoned to mandatory meetings" discussing the downsides of unionization and not-so-subtly telling employees not to vote for a Democrat.
Wal-Mart Watch notes that the article "would not have been possible without the several brave Wal-Mart employees" who spoke out against the company's policies, including the employee below who e-mailed Wal-Mart Watch:
In a statement, Wal-Mart Watch Executive Director David Nassar said the Journal report confirmed stories they have collected from workers:
We have been receiving the reports described in the Journal for the past week. Some of the reports we received were even more egregious than what was described in today's story. In one case, a worker said they were shown a slide that said 'Obama = union' and then were told why unions were bad.
Wal-Mart employees who wish to speak out should contact Wal-Mart Watch to share their stories. Sign a petition to tell Wal-Mart to stop the political intimidation of its employees.
