Master data management (MDM) is the practice of acquiring, improving, and sharing master data. MDM involves creating consistent definitions of business entities via integration techniques across multiple internal IT systems and often to partners or customers. MDM is enabled by integration tools and techniques for ETL, EAI, EII, and replication. MDM is related to data governance, which aims to improve data's quality, share it broadly, leverage it for competitive advantage, manage change, and comply with regulations and standards.

December 13, 2006—Think ahead 25 years.
Imagine a world where developing countries are the key drivers behind global economic growth.
Imagine too a world where about half or more of the purchasing power of the global economy stems from the developing world, which would also be home to an estimated 1.2 billion "middle class".
And also imagine a world where the number of people living on less than $1 a day has fallen from 1.1 billion now to 550 million in 2030.
The scenarios are all laid out in a new World Bank report, Global Economic Prospects 2007: Managing the Next Wave of Globalization.
Rise of Developing Countries
According to the report's lead author and Economic Advisor in the Trade Department, Richard Newfarmer, this transformed world reflects the continuation of recent trends. Developing country growth has accelerated over the past decade and is expected to remain strong both over the medium and longer terms.
"We expect that growth rates for developing countries this year will be 7 percent and exceed 6 percent in 2007 and 2008, more than twice as fast as high-income countries, which are expected to grow about 2.6 percent." says Hans Timmer, the manager of the Bank's forecasting team.
"This marks the third year of very strong growth and a continuation of a rising trend in developing country growth mainly due to improved performance by many rather than very fast growth by a few," Timmer says.
Progress in reducing poverty
Newfarmer says developing economies will become a major locomotive of the global economy.
"We expect developing economies' share in world trade to rise to almost 50 percent by 2030," he says. "That's a substantial increase from where we are today at about 30 percent. Moreover, their share in world GDP could reach 60 percent in purchasing power parity terms."
The report says benefits of that growth will be widespread, with the incidence of dire poverty falling from around 25 percent today to less than eight percent.
Uncertain Future for Unskilled Workers
However the report also says some groups may be left behind, with unskilled workers especially vulnerable.
"Unskilled workers will find themselves under increased pressure both for jobs and for wage increases" says Uri Dadush, Director of the Bank's Development Prospects Group and International Trade Department.
"While globally inequality will narrow as most developing countries continue to catch-up, within countries it may widen. That means there'll be greater need for government to find ways to facilitate adjustment and help those workers left behind."
Africa at Risk
The report says ensuring Sub-Saharan Africa benefits from globalization's next wave will be particularly challenging. While the region has done better in recent years, growing by 5.3 percent in 2006, and the incidence of poverty is expected to decline, overall progress remains too slow.
It says rapid population growth and a bulge in the number of young people means the absolute number of people in Africa living in dire poverty may remain broadly constant.
As a result, poverty will become even more a Sub-Saharan Africa issue than it is now, with the proportion of the world's poorest residing in Sub-Saharan Africa projected to double by 2030.
However, the report says Sub-Saharan Africa could also potentially gain the most from integration, since it could take advantage of technology and wage gaps to propel higher sustained growth. But to do so, it says reforms to strengthen the investment climate as well as increased aid for infrastructure are necessary.
More Multilateral Collaboration The report also starkly warns the gains from growth and globalization could be undermined by a failure properly manage environmental issues at a global level.
It singles out three areas – mitigating climate change, containing infectious diseases and preserving marine fisheries – where governments need to work together to develop policies to protect these "global goods."
"Any country acting on its own can have only a marginal impact on the control of carbon emissions; the sustainability of the world's fisheries; or preventing the global spread of infectious diseases" Dadush says.
"All of these are critical issues in which all of the world's citizens have a stake and which require coordination for success. Without coordination, we will not be able to move forward."

Renin and Prorenin in Pregnancy

To determine the role of the prorenin-renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) in normal and hypertensive pregnancy.
Cardiovascular Diseases
Heart Diseases
Pregnancy Toxemias
|Study Type:
|Study Start Date:
|September 1987
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|July 1992
The renin-angiotensin system is involved in the physiology of pregnancy in two ways. Circulating angiotensin II affects blood pressure, renal hemodynamics, and uteroplacental blood flow. Abnormalities in angiotensin II production rates in hypertensive pregnancy contribute to the hemodynamic changes seen in the disease. Additionally, there is a form of the renin-angiotensin system in kidney, ovary, and placenta whose function is regulated by prorenin. Prorenin, activated by a specific receptor, is involved in the regulation of steroid hormone biosynthesis and renal and uteroplacental blood flow.
The study was conducted in response to a Request for Applications on Research on Hypertension in Pregnancy jointly released in 1986 by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
The study was longitudinal in design. Measurements were made of glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow or uterine blood flow. To define first trimester changes, studies were conducted on in vitro fertilization and ovarian failure patients who had a broad spectrum of plasma prorenins. Since interrelated changes in renin and prostaglandins may participate in the pathogenesis of hypertensive pregnancy, RAAS, prostaglandins, and uteroplacental flow velocity profiles were monitored during a placebo-controlled trial of low-dose aspirin in chronic hypertensives.

Kansas Congressman Mike Pompeo says he will vote in support of authorizing a U.S. strike on Syria.
The Republican congressman spoke Tuesday to The Associated Press by phone from Israel. Pompeo is traveling to several Middle Eastern countries this week as part of his role on the House Intelligence Committee.
The rest of the state's all-Republican delegation is opposing a military response to an alleged chemical weapons attack in Syria that killed hundreds.
Pompeo says a no vote in Congress would guarantee a bad outcome. He says the Iranians are watching how Americans respond to the alleged use of chemical weapons inside of Syria on civilians.
He says the objective of any military action should be the "massive degradation" of Syria's capacity to use chemical weapons.

La Jolla Town Council names recipients of fall dance fundraiser
By Pat Sherman
During its July 11 meeting La Jolla Town Council (LJTC) trustees voted to establish the following as recipients of the group's first annual "Dancing with La Jolla Stars" fundraiser: The La Jolla Christmas Parade and Holiday Festival, the La Jolla Community Center, and the LJTC general fund (to fund various community projects).
The event, hosted by Mary Murphy (a celebrity judge on TV's "So You Think You Can Dance") is set for Oct. 5 at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines.
LJTC trustees also voted to approve partnering with Las Patronas to promote the event. In exchange for the philanthropic organization's promotional prowess, LJTC will give Las Patronas 10 percent of the net proceeds from "Dancing with La Jolla Stars."
"This whole event started because there's so many great projects in La Jolla that need help," event organizer Nancy Gardner said. "San Diego just doesn't have enough money to give us what La Jolla needs."
Gardner said some money would likely be set aside from the net proceeds as seed money for next year's event.
La Jolla Realtor Charles Schevker was thanked for helping organize the fundraiser, and trustee Ramin Pourteymour was thanked for paying the deposit needed to secure the venue.
Gardner said she is still seeking sponsors to underwrite the food, lighting, sound and other aspects of the event. For information, contact Gardner at firstname.lastname@example.com or (858) 456-3000.

Christopher Beach, president and artistic director of the La Jolla Music Society, gave a presentation on the society and its upcoming SummerFest music program in the Village.
For 44 years, the society has been bringing classical music and culture from around the globe to La Jolla, Beach said.
"We present the great international orchestras like the Chicago Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, and famous classic music musicians (like) Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Pearlman and major, international dance companies … from all over the world," he said. "This coming season we are adding a new cabaret series and a new recital series."
Beach said the society's annual SummerFest program began 27 years ago with five performances and now has 16.
"We bring over 100 musicians throughout the month of August to the Village," he said. "They live in our homes, they eat in the restaurants. … It has become for many of these artists the high point of their year to come back to La Jolla."
The SummerFest program kicks off July 31 with a 7:30 p.m. program by San Diego Youth Symphony in Ellen Browning Scripps Park. For more information, visit

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Sunday Special: Triumph over tragedy
Courage and toughness saved fliers when training mission went wrong
RIDING MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK — At Riding Mountain National Park's 75th anniversary celebration last year, George Roper was introduced as someone who "dropped in" for a visit many years ago.
Boy, did he ever.
It was a 1944 training mission during the Second World War. Roper, the radio operator, was making his way to the front of the aircraft to get its location from the navigator so he could radio it back to the base in Winnipeg.
On his way, Roper looked out the side window and saw something that wasn't supposed to be there: the tops of spruce trees level with the plane. "What the--" he recalls saying.
The next thing he remembers is waking up from a wild sleep. He dreamt a pal was trying to shake him awake back at the barracks in Winnipeg. "Rise and shine!" his friend kept repeating.
When Roper opened his eyes, he wasn't in his bunk but upside down in smouldering aircraft wreckage scattered across a spruce bog. A wedge cap dangled from a spruce bough. One crew member was moaning and would let out an occasional gut-wrenching scream.
Roper, now 88, reached by telephone at a seniors' residence in Camrose, Alta., said he can never forget that day and what followed -- acts of determination and heroism so inspiring that park officials brought Roper back to visit the crash site last year.
The April 30, 1944 plane crash of the Avro Anson Mk1 is one of 13 in Riding Mountain since it was designated a national park in 1933. The first plane crash was in 1937 by a farm kid in a home-built aircraft. The majority of crashes have been flight training missions around the time of the Second World War.
In one case, two planes on training missions flying from Winnipeg to Yorkton, Sask. flew too close and touched wings, coming down near where the park's bison enclosure is today. In the park's last crash, in 1947, three British Commonwealth Training Program planes were playing at dog fighting when two of the planes, one piloted by an Australian and the other by an American, collided. A third plane, piloted by a Canadian, caught fire but managed to fly safely to Dauphin.
It had been a low cloud ceiling when the Avro Anson started out after lunch that day in 1944. The crew was in flight training in preparation for combat overseas.
Their training mission that day was to fly in a triangle from Winnipeg to Miniota (southwestern Manitoba) to McCreary (east of Riding Mountain) and back to Winnipeg. They were to drop down low enough to spot landmarks at Miniota and McCreary, like the name on a grain elevator.
The low cloud made flying tricky because the crew was required to fly by 'dead reckoning,' meaning by sight and calculations of their position. But the navigator forgot to include the headwind in his calculations. He reckoned they were well past Riding Mountain, a mistake that meant a 2,000-foot difference in elevation. When the pilot dropped the plane down to spy their whereabouts, he flew straight into the ground.
Most of the wreckage is still in the bush, and it makes for a sombre hike 65 years later. It's especially interesting if you happen to be accompanied by park interpreter Brett Smith, and Ed Stozek, author of his second self-published book, A Slice of the Parkland: Circa the late 1890s-1970s, that includes the story of the 1944 crash.
Along the way, Smith pointed out various signs of wildlife, like wolf scat, grouse scat, tufts of bear fur, scars on poplar trees made by the claws of climbing bears, and a pair of moose tracks (the hoof has a wider splay than an elk's). He also pointed out a "puff ball" mushroom the size of a potato, whose powder was once used by early peoples to stop bleeding and heal wounds.
111A steady rain was falling when Roper regained consciousness. They'd crashed at exactly 3.44 p.m. Roper could tell because his shattered Rolex watch had stopped at that moment.
He had somehow escaped serious injury other than a broken shin, cracked length-wise, that caused his leg to swell up so badly that his pant leg became skin tight. The navigator, Leading Aircraftman F. C. Webb, was also lucky, suffering just a bad facial gash.
The pilot, Sgt. G. H. Hill, who occasionally screamed, was not. His body was completely crushed. The navigator's apprentice, Ray Lawrence, was also alive but his body was so broken that one side of him hung like a rag. Lawrence had been hit by the first tree the plane crashed into.
"He was smashed from shoulder to ankle, and never had a bit of pain. He just talked calm. Thank God he did! It just brought you back to earth so that you got down to what had to be done," Roper said in the telephone interview from the Rosealta Lodge in Camrose, where he lives.
Rain fell steadily. Otherwise, the forest was completely silent. Using a nearby fire axe, Roper cut his way out of what remained of the canvas and plywood aircraft. He tried to assist Lawrence, who was lying on sopping muskeg.
Roper took off his sweater to make a pillow for Lawrence. Then he managed to pull away the tail section of the airplane and placed it under Lawrence. He pulled out airplane seat parts to further brace Lawrence's body. He and Webb then ripped open some parachutes and made a crude tent to keep the rain off him.
Pilot Hill was barely alive. When Roper tried to move him next, the pilot gave out a blood-curdling cry that shook up Roper emotionally. The pilot died a short time later.
The radio didn't work. Roper and Webb had to walk out of the bush somehow.
Fortunately, Roper grew up on a farm in the Alberta foothills and had hunted since he was a tyke. He oriented himself in the bush by the colouration of the bark on poplar trees: lighter bark is on the south side where it got the most sun, and darker on the north side.
So they started to make their way east, Roper limping badly on his fractured leg. Webb was from London, England, and had never been in the bush in his life. "He kept crying, 'We're lost, we're lost,' until I got so angry I told him to shut up or stay with the plane," Roper recalled.
Roper used the axe to double-blaze trees, chopping out strips of bark on opposite sides of the tree, as landmarks so they could find their way back to the plane. Even so, it was remarkable they didn't become lost or discover they were going in circles. But they didn't, and Roper and Webb trudged through the forest for about seven kilometres and reached the park's eastern boundary.
It was around dusk and foggy, but Roper was able to make out what looked like cattle in the clearing. Then he saw what he thought to be the legs of a man.
111But the farmer siphoned gas out of his water pump and tractor -- it amounted to just a gallon -- and got the truck started after several cranks. Then they drove to nearest town Kelwood, about 10 kilometres away.
Every light in Kelwood was out except at the St. Michael Anglican Church. They could hear singing inside. When the men burst through the church door, one by one people stopped singing and turned to stare at them. What did they want? the minister asked. Help, they replied.
They'd come to the right place. The men in the congregation, still dressed in their Sunday best and smooth-soled shoes, followed them back to the farm. An RCMP officer at the church had his horse and rode to the farm.
They tried to go back into Riding Mountain to rescue Lawrence, using coal oil lanterns for light. Roper could hardly walk so he rode the farmer's work horse, an extraordinary feat of will considering all he'd been through.
But it was too dark and they were getting lost themselves. It was approaching 2 a.m. when they gave up. They started out again at the first light of dawn.
Roper thought for sure Lawrence was dead by now but underestimated that amazing man's determination to live. Lawrence had become unbearably thirsty and managed to roll over to drink from the muskeg. But he couldn't roll himself back again.
The problem was if he passed out, his face would lay in water and he would drown. So Lawrence held his head up as long as he could, then let it fall into the water while holding his breath, and he repeated the exercise over and over. He did that for seven hours.
"I will never forget him," Roper wrote of Lawrence, in an account of the ordeal written in 1988, provided by local historian Stozek. Neither has he ever forgotten "those dear people of Kelwood. I learned more about mankind in those 24 hours than I probably will learn all the rest of my days."
That was not the end of the story. What followed was the long, arduous task of moving Lawrence on a gurney over the rises, ravines and deadfall of Riding Mountain. He was taken to Neepawa Hospital and then flown to Winnipeg.
He survived. Roper met him a few years later and he was walking and looked almost fully recovered. It isn't known what happened to Webb. Roper returned to Alberta to farm.
Years later, people lost track of the location of the wreckage. Bob McCrae, son of the farmer who helped Roper that night, spent two years searching by horseback over Riding Mountain, along with his daughter, until they finally found it.
The wreckage is scattered over an area of about 25 metres. A plaque sits on the ground to commemorate the event. Some of the aircraft was removed by the department of defence, and some by souvenir collectors. Any visitors are urged to leave the site as they find it so it can continue to tell its story of tragedy and the triumph of the human spirit.

The Netherlands competition authority (NMa), has approved bundled cross-border capacity auctions to be extended to six more border points within the country's natural gas grid, Dutch grid operator Gasunie Transport Services (GTS) said on Monday.
Auctions have been successfully conducted at the Oude Statenzjil network point that connects the Netherlands to Germany since 22 May 2012, when GTS initially launched the pilot project (see ESGM 24 May 2012).
Limited amounts of bundled transmission capacity are auctioned off at the border point on a daily basis as part of a pilot to the forthcoming capacity allocation mechanism (CAM).
The network code is due to be implemented in autumn 2013 and become law by 2015, GTS said.
Since its introduction, GTS has said the auctions have helped to strengthen links between the TTF and GASPOOL hubs and has helped to improve liquidity of the gas markets in northwest Europe.
On average, GASPOOL's premium to the TTF on the Day-ahead has declined since the pilot scheme was introduced.
Between 22 May 2012 and 8 February 2013, the average premium was €0.154/MWh, compared with €0.293/MWh during the equivalent period between 2011 and 2012, ICIS data shows.
The NMa said authorising the project's expansion will help to bring the transmission system operator (TSO) in line with EU requirements before the autumn 2013 implementation date.
"Players on the gas market are still dealing with a trading system that is not uniform, meaning that they have to deal with several TSOs, each with their own systems, when purchasing gas capacity," a GTS spokesman said.
"Offering gas capacity jointly as transmission system operators and harmonising the processes will make it much easier for gas buyers to buy capacity."
The other six network points to be launched are: the Oude Statenzijl operated by German TSO GASCADE; the Oude Statenzijl operated by German TSO Open Grid Europe (OGE); Bocholtz TENP also operated by OGE; Bocholtz Vetschau operated by German TSO Thyssengas; and the s-Gravenvoeren and Zelzate points operated by Belgian TSO Fluxys.

ALBANY, N.Y. — The New York State Court of Appeals decided that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates area airports and owns the World Trade Center site, is entitled to government immunity for its security measures at the parking garage in the 1993 bombing that killed six people and injured about 1,000, the AP reported. The decision could mean the transit agency doesn't have to pay currently outstanding claims, but is not likely to affect settled claims. For the full story, click here.

A 'SAD' state of affairs looms, if you don't eat healthy
- Written by Dr. Timothy Moore
The winter months were relatively mild – not too frigid for Southerners like myself. Surprisingly, the birds are chirping, the pollen count is sure to rise, and the icky bugs are surfacing again.
Winter, it seems, is relative. The common denominator for us all is that being cooped up inside during a long winter without the sun's warm glow bathing our skin can lead to emotional discomfort and depression.
Researchers at the National Institute of Mental Health described this problem in 1984 as seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. It is a syndrome that causes people in cooler climates – where the nights are long and the days are short – to lapse into a state of depression until the return of spring and summer.
According to The Mayo Clinic, the clinical description of SAD's symptoms is social withdrawal, hopelessness, lethargy, over-sleeping and weight gain. SAD generally eases its assault on the sufferer when daylight is extended and rigid temperatures are vanquished. But no one will forget the aftermath of mental depression and emotional upheaval.
One in 55 Americans has some type of emotional disorder, news reports have shown. If you're like the majority of people, it should come as no surprise that a lot of individuals may need a warm hug, someone to love, and much-needed attention as they contend with SAD.
I have not experienced SAD – not that I know of. But I've been told that the winter months can be grueling, like you're being locked up for a season, shut out or placed in a box. I would imagine that a burst of light would be all that's needed to free oneself from the cold, dark conditions associated with SAD.
Do you feel trapped sometimes in a cold, dark place that reminds you of being in a tight closet, or in some deep dark hole away from everyone and everything? This is what SAD feels like, I'm told. But don't be surprised by naysayers who'd try to convince you that the absence of light during the bitter chill of winter months is less stressful and taxing on the mind and body.
SAD is real. But don't worry. It goes away when spring arrives. However, since depression and emotional discomfort stemming from SAD is seasonal, you'd still need to focus on your physical health. You still should eat healthy foods throughout the year to avoid becoming physically ill. I can't stress eating healthy enough. Too many people are unhealthy as a result of eating nutrient-starved foods.
Yes, SAD is real. But it shouldn't matter whether the days are short or the nights are long. A good diet, I believe, will remedy your health problems, including depression and emotional discomfort. There will be challenges of course, but don't be dismayed. We're all facing and struggling with something in our life.
We have to be vigilant and eat the foods that will keep us mentally and physically healthy. If your emotions are bottled up, you can release them with a diet of fresh fruits and vegetables. It will make you feel a lot better and keep you balanced. Now if you're unstable, that's another column.
The hardest part about any of this is trying to strike a balance in life. A good diet of course is germane, but you also must exercise, drink plenty of water and change your lifestyle. We all have felt lousy at times, but we can overcome that feeling.
If you're experiencing SAD, you're one of many. But I can assure you that if you focus on eating healthy, your state of mind will change. You wouldn't be concerned about the short days and long nights of winter. You just need to be healthy to deal with the climate change.
How much can you really handle if you're SAD? Besides eating a good diet, I suggest you communicate your feelings and emotions. You'll be surprised to find someone going through the same problem.
So regardless of the situation, learn to live – even if you find it difficult to adjust to the climate change.

A Douglas County judge is expected to rule next week on whether or not Nikko Jenkins is competent to be sentenced for four murders. He could be facing the death penalty.
Jenkins' attorneys are trying to convince a judge that things have changed and that Jenkins, who has already been found guilty, shouldn't be punished yet.
Jenkins showed up for court Thursday wearing glasses and rubbing salve on cuts to his eyes and lips. Investigators called it recent self-mutilation.
Thursday brought more than six hours of arguments similar to the competency hearing in February in which Judge Bataillon ruled Jenkins competent.
The state doesn't think much has changed since then.
The public was pushed back from the judge's doors and behind metal detectors Thursday. There were reports that Jenkins wanted to try to grab a deputy's gun and be killed in the process. Jenkins was brought in strapped to a wheelchair out of our sight.
The case boiled down to this:
Two doctors hired by the state saw Jenkins in Lincoln last month. Both said he was competent to be sentenced. Both said he was faking mental illness and knew full well what was ahead of him - possibly the death penalty.
But the public defender's office brought in three of its own psychiatrists including a woman who examined Jenkins when he was eight because he had brought a gun to school and had chased his sister around the house with a knife. She said that he had the signs of mental illness then.
Dr. Bruce Gutnik is key to Jenkins case. He ruled him incompetent for trial and incompetent for sentencing saying it is clear that Jenkins is delusional, has hallucinations and is bi-polar -- all the chalk-up for mental health treatment rather than sentencing.
One man who didn't testify but had the most to say during the hearing was State Senator Ernie Chambers. He spent his birthday in court and he told us Jenkins will never see the light of day but the system will not execute him because he's been sick since he was a child.
Chambers said, "Nikko Jenkins is not going to be executed. This exercise might make some people feel good like pulling wings from a butterfly, or sticking pins in a beetle's eyes. It's not going to bring the result that they want."
Senator Chambers believes the Jenkins case should be stopped and started over with a clean slate. He said there is precedent that it could be done.
The three-judge panel is still set to consider the death penalty August 11th. We'll find out if that changes next week when the judge rules on competency.

Apple hires former Yves Saint Laurent CEO Paul Deneve, wait what?
Summary: The rumors are true: Apple has hired former YSL CEO Paul Deneve to work directly for CEO Tim Cook. But what is he going to be working on? Think fashion.
Bloomberg's Adam Satariano has reported (via 9to5Mac) that Apple has hired former Yves Saint Laurent CEO Paul Deneve (@PaulDeneve) as vice president, reporting directly to Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Apple would only confirm that Deneve will work on "special projects" and not as head of retail, as was speculated after John Browett's spectacular flame-out in that role last year.
In addition to being CEO of global fashion brand Yves Saint Laurent (which was recently rebranded as Saint Laurent Paris), Deneve's LinkedIn profile shows that he was previously president of fashion brands Lanvin and Nina Vicci. So what "special project" is he working on at Apple?
My money's on the iWatch.
YSL designed plenty of watches in its day, but maybe Tim Cook's hoping that there's a certain je ne sais quoi that Deneve could bring to something as pedestrian as a watch. We don't want it to turn out like Pebble, do we?
What's your take on the Deneve hire?

CAPE CORAL, Fla - A Cape Coral community is ordered to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in renovations.
The Florida Department of Health says the pool area and hot tubs at Rose Garden Villas are out of code. Now, the cost of repairs could force some residents out.
To pay for the renovations, residents will each have to pay a one-time assessment of $8,100 dollars. It's too much for some of the residents here on a fixed income.
"I know a couple people who won't be able to make the assessments," said Darlene Viebrock, a resident at Rose Garden Villas, which is located near Tarpon Point Marina in southwest Cape Coral.
Viebrock and her friend Alice Hays are two of the many residents at Rose Garden Villas who are worried. "It's very frustrating," Alice Hays said. The frustrations stem from their pools and hot tubs, which at first glance appear fine.
"We tell people what's going on and their like, "what's wrong with the pools?"," Viebrock said. But the Florida Department of Health says the pools and hot tubs are out of code for commercial use. The code changed earlier this year.The pool can't be grandfathered in because the original builders didn't have the proper permitting.
Now, the pools are considered not wide enough, among other code infractions. The Florida Department of Health told the condo manager updates need to be made immediately. Chad Van Tilburg, the property manager, says "It doesn't look like there's anyway out of the situation."
The situation is bad for some residents. The cost to bring the pool and hot tubs up to code will be around $300 thousand dollars. Van Tilburg says this means residents will have to pay $8,100 dollars more in assessments. As a result, some may be forced to leave.
"They will no longer be able to make maintenance fee payments and they'll walk away from their homes all together," he said. The residents have written to the Department of Health and local lawmakers asking for more time.
"Rules are rules and codes are code. We all know that. If we could just extend it," Viebrock said. Residents are pushing for a delay so they can accumulate some of the money up front. That way, their assessment fees won't be so high and people won't be forced to move.

Senior Emilee Dailey with parents, Wayne and Lois, at the 2014 Senior Night Presentation
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Senior Emilee Dailey arrived at Mizzou in 2010 from Joplin HS in Joplin, Mo. The 2010 MSHSAA State Championships Runner-Up in the high jump, Dailey continued finding success in the event while sporting the black and gold.
Dailey was recognized as First Team Academic All-Big 12 in 2011 and 2012, and made the SEC Spring Academic Honor Roll in 2013. She was also awarded a health professions scholarship from the Air Force, making her a lieutenant.
Dailey will earn a B.A. in Biology and continue her studies with medical school in the fall. She will finish her degree in four years and start work as an Air Force physician.
On how she got started...
I started track and field in seventh grade. I can't remember much about my first meet, I'm pretty sure I high jumped, hurdled, and threw shot and discus. I know I completely ate it during my hurdle race, so I decided then and there that I was done with them for good. I never ran hurdles again.
Why she chose the high jump...
In middle school, I did everything. I hurdled, ran, high jumped, and threw shot and discus. My dad and brothers were all throwers, so that was originally what I wanted to do, but I am not built for that event. I ended up sticking to high jump because I thought it was fun and I felt like I had the potential to be good at it.
Her favorite memory before Mizzou...
Competing at the State Championships - I high jumped and got second.
On why she chose Missouri...
My brother (Tyler) did track here, and his experience helped influence me to come here for track. I liked that he was up here, so I would have family nearby, and I also wanted to go to a big college. He just had a great experience while he was here, I knew the coaches already, and it seemed like a good fit.
Her favorite Mizzou memory...
I cherish every moment that allowed me to hang out with my friends. There are too many great memories that have occurred over the years, but it is always special when you have a good meet and your friends and family are there to see it happen.
On the team...
The team is great. They are a big part of the experience and many of my closest friends are also my teammates.
On her time at Mizzou outside of athletics...
I really enjoyed my time here at Mizzou. There wasn't a lot of free time outside of athletics, but when I had time I liked to just go downtown and hang out with friends.
Future plans...
I will be attending medical school in the fall and in four years I will be an Air Force physician.

BTW, Porsche only developed a watercooled engine for the 911 GT1 at Lemans and didn't bring it to production until the 996 (forgetting the 924 / 944 / 928).... Hardly revolutionary.
You need cylinders and displacement to get power.....unless Porsche gets off its religion on Rear Flat-6 engines, the likes of MB / BMW / Audi are going to blow them away when they finally develop real sportscars (like the R8.....but not really since it has Quattro).
Porsche are built on a different premis. They don't need high horsepower engines in their cars because they keep their cars light. Acceleration is only ONE part of racing (tracking, auto-x, events, gtr..etc) BMW's, even the M3 is not designed around Porsche's winning formula. The flat six's will get DFI next year and about 9% - 15% more HP also becomming slightly lighter. Thus making it slightly quicker.
Don't ever make the mistake of thinking a BMW will out track a Porsche, it won't. But in the BMW you do get a quiet interior, a stereo that isn't shit and no squeeks or rattles that kinds part of Porsches heritage.
The new M3 is a little bit pigish (weight) if you ask me. I hope it's agility is still there or many will consider it a bust.

The 15 Minute Plan
I have to admit to feeling a bit of sewing burnout lately. In the rush to finish my Cambridge Peony (which is still languishing), I rather pushed my envelope a bit much and ended up sewing for a several hours at a stretch. At the end of it all, I had made several silly mistakes and my frustration level was mounting. Worse off, I began to really dislike the project I was working on.
In the words Erin of Miss Crayola Creepy: Sewing should be fun and not stressful!
Like you, I am performing a constant juggling act of priorities over leisure. When I do have dedicated time to creative pursuits, I tend to binge-create. While the end results, productivity-wise, can be quite good, I'm usually left feeling flat and rather drained.
As of today, I will begin using Tilly's 15 Minutes Plan. I am quite lucky to have a small, dedicated sewing space, so I can leave my projects out to be picked up whenever I need them. My first project? Well, I can't decide between New Look 6000, View E in red slub silk or Simplicity 1873, View A in red and white polka dots. Which would you choose? Are you using Tilly's plan?

i think i prefer the new look although the other is very pretty too. did you see tilly is sewing it up too, same view? spooky!
i struggle to sew for 15 mins at a time (i either have a whole spare evening or no time at all!) but i am trying to take it on board by grabbing time here and there to sew (so when dinner is cooking or watever, rather than watching tv for 10 mins, i will sew a few seams). rather than sitting up late sewing and making mistakes, when it gets late i will sit in front of the tv and pin pieces together or press hems so that i can make the most of small slots of time.

Both patterns are so cute, so I'm not help in deciding haha :) I own the first one (haven't sewn it yet), but the second one is on my wish list!

I personally love the Simplicity 1873! I have plans to make this dress in my future and would love to see what you make with it!

Red and white polka dots!!!! Definitely!

I loooooove that Cynthia Rowley dress! I've ditched projects before because they stressed me out too much, and I think that's okay. Erin is SO right! Sewing should always be fun :)

The Simplicity pattern looks supercute! It caught my eye even before I read about your plans. And you can never go wrong with polka dots, am I right?!
Good luck!

Aw thanks for the mention, my dear! It wasn't actually my idea in the first place, it came out of the Twitter chat, so I don't want to take credit :) What I love about this approach is how easy it is to make creativity part of everyday life.
Love both of these patterns. x

I really like the concept behind this idea, as I tend to do the same thing as you - go for long marathon sessions, make mistakes and then resent my project... that's no fun! ^_^ 15 minutes might not be enough for me to get focused enough to do things properly but half an hour is definitely do-able! :) If I do have more time, I'm trying to break it up with other tasks so I don't spend too much time on a project at one go :)
- November 24, 2012 at 6:43 PM
- Symon said...
oh and I can't decide which one!! I have the NL 6000 but I just finished sewing a different Cynthia Rowley and they're both great!! As are both your fabric choices - do both! ^_^

Sewing for 15 minutes seems very feasible, and a good way to squeeze some sewing into insanely busy lives. As for myself, I don't have children and getting lost in a project for hours at a time is one of my greatest pleasure. I don't think I'll be sewing "15 minutes at a time" anytime soon. :-) I do look forward to hearing about other people's experiences with the concept.

I thought this was a great idea when I saw it! What am I doing right now you ask? Well, procrastinating doing my 15 minutes of course! lol! Okay I can't fall over at the first hurdle. Gotta do it! Haha.

Polka dots. You know me... ;)
Actually, that sounds like a plan I would benefit from, too... I need to put it on my list! ;)

Series 7 Filming: Ponds & Mark Williams
Today, filming begun on Series 7 of Doctor Who and already some details are coming in.
Shooting has been taking place inside a house on Church Road in Penarth (Amy and Rory's street) with Karen Gillan and Arthur Darvill both on location. Eagle onlookers have already caught pics of the pair, which can be seen below.
Actor and comedian and Mark Williams (pictured, right) has also been spotted on the set. Williams is probably best known as Arthur Weasley in the Harry Potter movies and for several roles in comedy The Fast Show. He has also recently done a stint on Being Human as vampire Regus.
There is some speculation that Williams could be playing Rory's dad.
A few pics of Arthur Darvill, Karen Gillan follow.
UPDATE: The Almost Doctor also got a couple of great close-up pics with the Ponds.
Thanks to Ryan Farrell and Grace Jenkins.

Stock RulesYes I know rules are a drag but have to be done
Unrestricted however rules below apply
You can use my stock in animal art, horses, wolves etc with exception to some premades, see below
Premade background stock
Some of my premades are not to be used in art that contains animals alone, ie: wolves, horses etc..this is because the stock providers I used do not allow it. I will state clearly which ones you can or cannot use in the listing, please respect this.
Also be creative, dropping a animal cutout onto a premade is not art and will not be appreciated.
You may use my stock in DA prints and commercial as long as credit is given and you provide an active link back to my stock not my profile. This is a must!
You may post your finished art containing my stock to your social media sites, a credit link back to all the stock you used is always nice but not necess
