Ohio's Stark Area Regional Transit Authority (SARTA) signed an agreement with Clean Energy Fuels Corp. to develop and operate a new compressed natural gas (CNG) fuel station to support the transition of one-half of SARTA's bus fleet to natural gas power.
Located in Canton, Stark County, Ohio, the new fast-fill public access Clean Energy CNG station will operate 24/7 to support SARTA buses as well as other CNG vehicles operating in the area. Station opening is projected for the fourth quarter, 2011.
Over the next two years, the transit agency expects to deploy nine new CNG fixed-route 32-passenger buses and 17 CNG paratransit buses as replacements for 50 percent of the diesel models in its fleet.
SARTA provides an average of 2.1 million passenger rides each year. In addition to deploying fixed-route service in Canton, Massillon, Jackson, Alliance, North Canton, Louisville and Hartville, SARTA offers the Proline paratransit bus service throughout Stark County.

The Benefits of Door-to-Door Service in ADA Complementary Paratransit Many U.S. transit agencies continue to struggle with the quality of ADA service, the costs, and the difficulties encountered in contracting the service, which is the method of choice for a significant majority of agencies. One of the most basic policy decisions an agency must make involves whether to provide door-to-door, or only curb-to-curb service.

PhoneDevil Magic Screen Protector: Mirror Edition For Apple iPhone 3G / 3GS
Posted: 06/02/2010
The mirrored screen protector provides effective protection to your i phone as well as adding an extra dimension in providing a chic look to your i phone screen. The mirror effect does enhance the look of the screen considerably. The only drawback being the leaving of fingerprint marks on the screen after use. You certainly need to wipe it often! However the mirrored effect outweighs this drawback.
Exspect Leather Hard Flip Case For iPhone 3G / 3GS / Black
Posted: 01/02/2010
This is a great product for great value whilst not compensating whatsoever in quality. The case is very slim therefore not bulking out your i phone and is very easy to slot in. You do not need to force your i phone into a tight fit. The very sleek look of the case enhances the i phone and does justice to your phone. Overall - would wholeheartedly recommend.

A jeweller in Surat, Gujarat, has been the talk of the town – and the whole nation – after giving cars and apartments to hundreds of employees.
Savjibhai Dholakia, chairman of Hari Krishna Exports, handed out 500 Fiat Puntos, 207 apartments and 570 pieces of jewellery, according to the Guardian newspaper, which said that he would pay for his mysterious beneficence in installments "over the next few years."
The scale of Dholakia's generosity is unusual, but it is somewhat in keeping with Indian tradition. Throughout the country, offices are piled high with hampers of dried fruit and chocolates, gifts from companies to employees and clients, as India celebrates its festival of lights on October 23.

Last night, we just happened to be watching The Cheryl Cole Factor on Channel 5 (look, we're not sad, it's just that it was that or Top Gear reruns. And we're done The Wire boxsets to death), and Pete Waterman, who judged Cheryl on the show that made her, Popstars: The Rivals, was good naturedly (if slightly OTTedly) jabbering on about how he KNEW, in the way you just do when you come into contact with a Star In The Making, that Cheryl would be massive the second he saw her (which is clearly why you plumped for managing One True Voice instead of Girls Aloud, hey Petey?). So we clearly had to get straight on YouTube today and look up all the old Popstars clips we could find. We'll spare you the first audition one (everyone looks rough in those clips), and zoom instead onto the ditty that won Cheryl Tweedy, as she was then, her place in the band. So here she is singing Right Here Waiting by Richard Marx (the only thing poor Woolies wont be able to flog in their closing down -sniff! - sale will be his CDs which are destined to decompose in the bargain bin). Now, we're not entirely sure how Cheryl would fair in bootcamp these days, but aren't the audience behind her (well, not literally, they only managed to do those kind of jazzy camera angles six years later on X-Factor and it didn't help poor Laura did it?). Love they way everyone claps when she has to do the high bit. And how she does that little not-at-all-nicked-from-Baby-Spice nose wrinkle when she sings a sweet bit. Oh, innocent days...

This trio is really nice. I like the design because it is from the post Time Skip arc. They would've looked better had they been bigger but I'm not complaining. At first glance the figures feel like they're of good quality because there is a certain weight to it. Still, I once left home for a 20 day trip and it was the hottest summer that time measuring up to 39 degrees celsius. When I got home, they all began leaning. Must be my fault since I didn't put the stand that came with the figure. Now, I just popped the stand and they're standing straight again, I didn't even need to do a hot water trick.

This whole set is really nice, but Renji far and away takes the cake. I'm not the biggest Renji fan but this sculpt is truly great, and his hair and expression really make it.

Don't know about HS but on Amiami in the deatails description it says: "Packed according to maker's rate from all 3 types". So we should be good as far as getting one of each.
thanks it just threw me for a mo i was like wait we get all 3 or not

Monthly Archives: July 2009
The "continued vitality and relevance" of certain international institutions are questioned Clinton's speech
John captured one good quote below. Here's another I jotted down. Sayeth the Secretary: "We are seeking institutions that combine efficiency and capacity for action with inclusiveness…Their continued vitality and relevance depend on their legitimacy and representativeness–and the ability of their members to act swiftly and responsibly when problems arise. "
The UN as a whole has the legitimacy and relevance part covered. And various UN agencies like the World Food Program, World Heath Organization and UNICEF have the "swiftness of action" down pat. The Security Council, however, sometimes lacks a bit of both criteria. I wonder, therefore, if a statement like this is meant to lay the groundwork for a new push on Security Council reform?
July Already the Deadliest Month for Foreign Troops in Afghanistan
A harbinger of things to come or a temporary spike?
The death toll for foreign troops in Afghanistan halfway through July equalled the highest for any month of the eight-year-old war, tallies showed on Wednesday, as a U.S. escalation has met unprecedented violence.
Authorities announced a U.S. soldier had been killed by a bomb and two Turks had died in a road accident, raising the toll of U.S. and allied foreign fatalities in the first half of July to 46, equal to full month highs set in August and June 2008.
In the two weeks since U.S. and British troops launched massive assaults, Western troops have died at an average rate of three a day, nearing the tempo of the bloodiest days in Iraq and almost 20 times the rate in Afghanistan from 2001-04.
Happy 60th, Geneva Conventions
On the 60th anniversary of the Geneva Conventions, it seems appropriate to celebrate the possibility that the United States could firm up its compliance with another UN human rights mechanism, the 1984 Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment of Punishment. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder is reportedly considering launching an investigation of the use of torture during the Bush Administration, a step that President Obama had been loathe to take.
IntLawGrrls' Beth Van Schaack has much more on why the U.S. should be fully implementing the Torture Convention, so I'll just add my agreement that this is a good step both for international justice and for the United States itself. The politics of an investigation will hopefully fade eventually, as this should be far more an issue of policy — of making sure the United States is abiding by conventions it has agreed to — than a partisan tactic.
Obama answers Africans' questions
This is pretty cool. Via Passport, the White House just posted a video response to three questions submitted to President Obama from African cell phone users.
Post-previewing Clinton's speech
Previewed yesterday, here's a bit of a post-preview, if you will, of Hillary Clinton's speech at the Council on Foreign Relations today (just about over now), mostly courtesy of our friends on the FP blogging team. Laura Rozen had some excerpts of the speech before Clinton even gave it; WaPo's Glenn Kessler looks at the Iran bits; Josh Keating couldn't find it on the teevee; and Dan Drezner has a great play-by-play for those who (like me) missed it.
The key graf for fans of international cooperation:
Today, we must acknowledge two strategic facts: First, that no nation can meet the world's challenges alone…. Second, that most nations worry about the same global threats, from non-proliferation to fighting disease to counter-terrorism….Just as no nation can meet these challenges alone, no challenge can be met without America.
I suppose the variant of the United States as "indispensable nation" was pretty much inevitable, but I'd just add (in case Secretary Clinton did not) that if no nation can meet these challenges alone, but America needs to be part of the battle, then U.S. engagement in the global body featuring every nation on the planet seems like a good idea.
Al-Qaeda targets Chinese workers–not an idle threat
Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb has threatened Chinese workers in North Africa in retaliation for the deaths of Muslim Chinese Uyghurs last week in Xinjiang. This is not a minor threat. Chinese companies don't use a lot of security in Africa, and Chinese workers generally are not well-liked by local populations in Africa; they lack the kind of population acceptance that would keep them safe. The Chinese embassy in Algeria has issued a warning and called for increased security measures for Chinese citizens in Algeria.
To make things worse, Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) – formerly known as "Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat" – is an especially violent branch of the group. They're known for violent bombings, with casualty numbers that are consistently in the double-digits. They also take hostages; they executed a European hostage last month. They have the skills and the willingness to do major damage to Chinese interests. Chinese workers have been easy targets for previous terrorist attacks. Nine Chinese workers were kidnapped in Darfur in 2008, and the Ogaden National Liberation Front repeatedly attacked Chinese workers in Ethiopia.
For the record, there doesn't seem to be any known link between Uyghurs and Al-Qaeda. The Uyghur American Association and the Uyghur World Congress have condemned Al-Qaeda's threat, saying that "Terrorist groups such as Al Qaeda do not represent the peaceful aspirations of the Uyghur people."
Middle East; Iraq; Ebola
Middle East: During the last 48 hours of the continued ceasefire, humanitarian workers have delivered food to hundreds of thousands of people, repaired water and sanitation infrastructure, re-stocked medical supplies, and some of the 520,000 displaced Palestinians have returned to their homes. However, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator remarked the scale of needs remains "unprecedented in the Gaza Strip."
Middle East; Ebola; South Sudan
Middle East: At today's informal session of the General Assembly on Gaza the SG remarked that the most recent ceasefire has held since yesterday at 8 a.m. local time. He noted that a durable ceasefire is necessary and UN shelters must continue to remain safe zones. The SG thanked UN staff in Gaza and will fly the UN flag at half-mast tomorrow in memory of those who died in the conflict.
Middle East; Ebola; Syria
Middle East: The SG commended Israeli and Palestinian parties for committing to a 72-hour ceasefire that took place at 8 a.m. local time today. He urges all parties to abide by the ceasefire and commence peace talks in Cairo to address underlying issues and agree on a durable ceasefire to sustainably stop the violence. The UN lends its full support toward these efforts.
Middle East; Iraq; Afghanistan
Middle East: The SG condemned yesterday's shelling outside of an UNRWA school in Rafah that killed at least 10 Palestinian civilians. The SG stated that the attack violated international humanitarian law and UN shelters must continue to be safe zones and not combat zones.
SG; Security Council; Middle East
SG: Last night the SG spoke at a joint press conference with the Foreign Minister of Costa Rica where he repeated his call for an unconditional and extendable humanitarian ceasefire. Speaking about yesterday's shelling of a UN shelter he said: "Nothing – nothing – justifies such horror" and demanded "that all parties immediately respect UN premises".
SG; Ukraine; Middle East
SG: The SG met with President Ortega yesterday in Nicaragua where he visited a wind farm and praised the country's commitment to renewable energy. The SG arrived in Costa Rica today where he is expected to lecture about "Costa Rica and the United Nations: Challenges and Opportunities in the 21st Century".

It's safe to say that Netflix's latest original series, "Orange is the New Black," is nothing short of binge-worthy. I devoured the entire first season in under 96 hours (seriously). Groundbreaking on many levels, the show openly displays queer female sexuality and features a uniquely complex portrayal of a black transgender woman (played by the brilliant black trans actress Laverne Cox). What's more, the vibrant cast of diverse characters offers viewers a rare exploration of what privilege is and how it works. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the show's main character, Piper Chapman (Taylor Schilling), a perfect lesson in privilege.
I can't stand Piper. I find her whiny, entitled, possessive, incredibly self-obsessed, an emblem of unchecked privilege. But I actually think that's intentional; Piper would be the character we all root for, when in reality, she seems to be one of the least liked. As Salamishah Tillet noted over at The Nation, the main character of "Orange" probably had to be white and college-educated for the show (and memoir upon which it's based) to get picked up, and this is a valid point. But with Piper, we're also forced to come face to face with her privilege, and we can't stand what we see. [Spoilers after the jump!] Keep reading »

Let's Chat Some More
I made my own background for my blog! I kinda like it too. Vee shared Auntie's tutorial last week and tonight I did it. Why did I wait so long?
While I was wallowing in the mess of my 'organizing' this week, our state wide homeschool magazine winter issue arrived. Inside, is an article that I wrote in the late fall. The new editor is a gal from our co-op and she contacted me about writing for them. I was honored and scared! I thought that I would just rework an old talk I had given a few years ago, but the Lord changed that. I wrote about fear! My kids said "I didn't know you were doing that!"
Tomorrow we are having visits from two special friends of ours. One is a gal and her daughters, whose family has moved to New York, and the other is a sweet church friend and her kids. It will be so much fun!
This coming week, the kids and I are headed to Cheryl's home for a day of visiting and fellowship! We are so excited!
I am grateful for the opportunity to still be involved in encouraging moms, especially those who have chosing the challenging task of home educating.
Have a wonderful weekend - I know I will!

On 29th April, I gave a talk in the Wilson Center in Washington DC on 'Environmental Information – the Roles of Experts and the Public'. The event was organised by Lea Shanley, who is heading the 'Commons Lab' initiative of the center, and Dr Jay Benforado, from the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) provided a response to the talk.
The talk is based on a forthcoming chapter in a book that will be the final output of the EveryAware project, and I can share a copy of it if you email me.
I described the content of the talk as: 'Access to environmental information and use of it for environmental decision-making are central pillars of environmental democracy. Yet, not much attention is paid to the question of who is producing it, and for whom? By examining the history of environmental information, since NEPA in 1969, three eras can be identified: information produced by experts, for experts (1969-1992); information produced by experts, to be shared by experts and the public (1992-2012); and finally, information produced by experts and the public to be shared by experts and the public.
Underlying these are changes in access to information, rise in levels of education and rapid change due to digital technologies. The three eras and their implication to environmental decision-making will be explored, with special attention to the role of geographical information systems and to citizen science.'
The talk (and the chapter) are building on the themes that I discussed in a presentation during the Eye on Earth user conference in Dublin in 2013, and earlier talks in Oxford Transport Studies Unit, UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis and at University College Dublin School of Geography, Planning & Environmental Policy in 2010 (see also my reflection from the Eye on Earth summit in Abu Dhabi in 2011). In the talk I covered some of the legal frameworks about production and use of environmental information, including laws and international agreements, as well as using specific demonstrations of the information systems themselves, as to demonstrate the practice. I also tried to suggest the trends that are behind the changes in the eras, and levels of education is quite central.
On reflection, the 4 years that passed since I started thinking about the 'eras of environmental information' allowed me to think how to communicate them, and I hope for the better. It also made the writing up of the chapter easier, as the responses and comments that I received in previous talks provided the needed feedback and peer review to structure the text.
Although I was setting specific dates as markers for the eras, the reality is that the boundaries are more flexible and the transition was over time – it is especially difficult for the latest transition of public participation in environmental information production.
The talk was followed by a discussion that lasted almost 45 minutes, and during the discussion, the common issue of data quality of citizen science data or the interesting point about the issue of dissemination as Rob Baker noted: 'Is the role of experts as facilitators extend to dissemination of information or just collection? Who closes the loop? ' (https://twitter.com/rrbaker/statuses/461157624592203776) or Susan Wolfinbarger question about citizen science: 'How do you know when the quality of a #citsci project is bad?' (https://twitter.com/SWolfinbarger/statuses/461166886043262976)
The presentation and discussion were captured on YouTube, below

Environmental Information Systems – R.F. Tomlinson (1970)
11 February, 2014
The news that Roger Tomlinson, famously 'the father of GIS', passed away few days ago are sad – although I met him only few times, it was an honour to meet one of the pioneers of my field.
A special delight during my PhD research was to discover, at the UCL library the proceedings of the first ever symposium on GIS. Dr Tomlinson studied towards a PhD at UCL, and probably that is how the copy found its way to the library. It was fairly symbolic for me that the symposium was titled 'environmental information systems'. See my earlier comment about the terminology: Geographic information or Environmental Information.
For a long time I wanted to share the copy, and today is a suitable day to share it. So here is the copy – thanks to the help of Michalis Vitos who converted it to PDF.
Reflections on Eye on Earth summit (2): the 3 eras of public access to environmental information
19 December, 2011
As noted in the previous post, which focused on the linkage between GIS and Environmental Information Systems, the Eye on Earth Summit took place in Abu Dhabi on the 12 to 15 December 2011, and focused on 'the crucial importance of environmental and societal information and networking to decision-making'. Throughout the summit, two aspects of public access to environmental information were discussed extensively. On the one hand, Principle 10 of the Rio declaration from 1992 which call for public access to information, participation in decision making and access to justice was frequently mentioned including the need to continue and extend its implementation across the world. On the other, the growing importance of citizen science and crowdsourced environmental information was highlighted as a way to engage the wider public in environmental issues and contribute to the monitoring and understanding of the environment. They were not presented or discussed as mutually exclusive approaches to public involvement in environmental decision making, and yet, they do not fit together without a snag – so it is worth minding the gap.
As I have noted in several talks over the past 3 years (e.g. at the Oxford Transport Research Unit from which the slides above were taken), it is now possible to define 3 eras of public access to environmental information. During the first era, between the first UN environmental conference, held in Stockholm in 1972, were the UN Environmental Programme (UNEP) was established, and the Earth conference in Rio in 1992, environmental information was collected by experts, to be analysed by experts, and to be accessed by experts. The public was expected to accept the authoritative conclusions of the experts. The second period, between 1990s and until the mid 2000s and the emergence of Web 2.0, the focus turned to the provision of access to the information that was collected and processed by experts. This is top-down delivery of information that is at the centre of Principle 10:
'Environmental issues are best handled with participation of all concerned citizens, at the relevant level. At the national level, each individual shall have appropriate access to information concerning the environment that is held by public authorities, including information on hazardous materials and activities in their communities, and the opportunity to participate in decision-making processes. States shall facilitate and encourage public awareness and participation by making information widely available. Effective access to judicial and administrative proceedings, including redress and remedy, shall be provided'
Notice the two emphasised sections which focus on passive provision of information to the public – there is no expectation that the public will be involved in creating it.
With the growth of the interactive web (or Web 2.0), and the increase awareness to citizen or community science , new modes of data collection started to emerge, in which the information is being produced by the public. Air pollution monitoring, noise samples or traffic surveys – all been carried out independently by communities using available cheap sensors or in collaboration with scientists and experts. This is a third era of access to environmental information: produced by experts and the public, to be used by both.
Thus, we can identify 3 eras of access to environmental information: authoritative (1970s-1990s), top-down (1990s-2005) and collaborative (2005 onward).
The collaborative era presents new challenges. As in previous periods, the information needs to be at the required standards, reliable and valid. This can be challenging for citizen science information. It also need to be analysed, and many communities don't have access to the required expertise (see my presentation from the Open Knowledge Foundation Conference in 2008 that deals with this issue). Merging information from citizen science studies with official information is challenging. These and other issues must be explored, and – as shown above – the language of Principle 10 might need revision to account for this new era of environmental information.
Reflections on Eye on Earth summit: the integration of GIS in Environmental Information Systems
17 December, 2011
The Eye on Earth Summit took place in Abu Dhabi on the 12 to 15 December 2011, and focused on 'the crucial importance of environmental and societal information and networking to decision-making'. The summit was an opportunity to evaluate the development of Principle 10 from Rio declaration in 1992 as well as Chapter 40 of Agenda 21 both of which focus on environmental information and decision making. The summit's many speakers gave inspirational talks – with an impressive list including Jane Goodall highlighting the importance of information for education; Mathis Wackernagel updating on the developments in Ecological Footprint; Rob Swan on the importance of Antarctica; Sylvia Earle on how we should protect the oceans; Mark Plotkin, Rebecca Moore and Chief Almir Surui on indigenous mapping in the Amazon and man others. The white papers that accompany the summit can be found in the Working Groups section of the website, and are very helpful updates on the development of environmental information issues over the past 20 years and emerging issues.
Interestingly, Working Group 2 on Content and User Needs is mentioning the conceptual framework of Environmental Information Systems (EIS) which I started developing in 1999 and after discussing it in the GIS and Environmental Modelling conference in 2000, I have published it as the paper 'Public access to environmental information: past, present and future' in the journal Computers, Environment and Urban Systems in 2003.
Discussing environmental information for a week made me to revisit the framework and review the changes that occurred over the past decade.
First, I'll present the conceptual framework, which is based on 6 assertions. The framework was developed on the basis of a lengthy review in early 1999 of the available information on environmental information systems (the review was published as CASA working paper 7). While synthesising all the information that I have found, some underlying assumptions started to emerge, and by articulating them and putting them together and showing how they were linked, I could make more sense of the information that I found. This helped in answering questions such as 'Why do environmental information systems receive so much attention from policy makers?' and 'Why are GIS appearing in so many environmental information systems ?'. I have used the word 'assertions' as the underlying principles seem to be universally accepted and taken for granted. This is especially true for the 3 core assumptions (assertions 1-3 below).
The framework offers the following assertions:
- Sound knowledge, reliable information and accurate data are vital for good environmental decision making.
- Within the framework of sustainable development, all stakeholders should take part in the decision making processes. A direct result of this is a call for improved public participation in environmental decision making.
- Environmental information is exceptionally well suited to GIS (and vice versa). GIS development is closely related to developments in environmental research, and GIS output is considered to be highly advantageous in understanding and interpreting environmental data.
- (Notice that this is emerging from combining 1 and 2) To achieve public participation in environmental decision making, the public must gain access to environmental information, data and knowledge.
- (Based on 1 and 3) GIS use and output is essential for good environmental decision making.
- (Based on all the others) Public Environmental Information Systems should be based on GIS technologies. Such systems are vital for public participation in environmental decision making.
Intriguingly, the Eye on Earth White Paper notes 'This is a very "Geospatial" centric view; however it does summarise the broader principles of Environmental Information and its use'. Yet, my intention was not to develop a 'Geospatial' centric view – I was synthesising what I have found, and the keywords that I have used in the search did not include GIS. Therefore, the framework should be seen as an attempt to explain the reason that GIS is so prominent.
With this framework in mind, I have noticed a change over the past decade. Throughout the summit, GIS and 'Geospatial' systems were central – and they were mentioned and demonstrated many times. I was somewhat surprised how prominent they were in Sha Zukang speech (He is the Undersecretary General, United Nations, and Secretary General Rio +20 Summit). They are much more central than they were when I carried out the survey, and I left the summit feeling that for many speakers, presenters and delegates, it is now expected that GIS will be at the centre of any EIS. The wide acceptance does mean that initiatives such as the 'Eye on Earth Network' that is based on geographic information sharing is now possible. In the past, because of the very differing data structures and conceptual frameworks, it was more difficult to suggest such integration. The use of GIS as a lingua franca for people who are dealing with environmental information is surely helpful in creating an integrative picture of the situation at a specific place, across multiple domains of knowledge.
However, I see a cause for concern for the equivalence of GIS with EIS. As the literature in GIScience discussed over the years, GIS is good at providing snapshots, but less effective in modelling processes, or interpolating in both time and space, and most importantly, is having a specific way of creating and processing information. For example, while GIS can be coupled with system dynamic modelling (which was used extensively in environmental studies – most notably in 'Limits to Growth') it is also possible to run such models and simulations in packages that don't use geographic information – For example, in the STELLA package for system dynamics or in bespoke models that were created with dedicated data models and algorithms. Importantly, the issue is not about the technical issues of coupling different software packages such as STELLA or agent-based modelling with GIS. Some EIS and environmental challenge might benefit from different people thinking in different ways about various problems and solutions, and not always forced to consider how a GIS play a part in them.
Public engagement with water conservation in London
10 February, 2011
In 2009, Ud Doron, who studied on our MSc in Environmental Systems Engineering developed a research project together with Tse-Hui Teh, who is doing her PhD on urban water issues. The project was co-supervised by Sarah Bell.
The focus of the project was on a series of participatory workshops to understand the relationships between urban residents and water technology. The workshops explored the perceptions and actions of environmentally aware citizens. Ud also explored the use of environmental information by the participants of the workshops. The output of this work is now written and published in the Water and Environment Journal.
The paper is titled Public engagement with water conservation in London
The abstract is:
Understanding water demand and consumers' capacity for change is essential in underpinning water demand management and water efficiency programmes. This paper presents the outcomes of a qualitative study, which used discussion groups relating to water infrastructure with environmentally aware citizens in five London boroughs in the Lower Lea River Basin. The results showed a subtle interaction between users, water and technology. Users are generally unaware of their own water consumption. Individual perceptions of changes in water behaviour are constrained by habit and lack of knowledge about what changes can be made and how. Knowledge of environmental information was described as the inspiration behind making any changes. The paper concludes that access to information about water resources, infrastructure and conservation measures should be enhanced because although information sources are abundant, participants claimed they were inaccessible without considerable effort. Finally, an emphasis should also be put on helping the public form a more substantial part in environmental decisions.
and the paper is accessible in the early view section of the Water and Environment Journal http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1747-6593.2011.00256.x/full
EveryAware – Enhanced environmental awareness through social information technologies
7 January, 2011
EveryAware is a three-year research project, funded under the European Union Seventh Framework Programme (FP7).
The project's focus is on the development of Citizen Science techniques to allow people to find out about their local environmental conditions, and then to see if the provision of this information leads to behaviour change.
The abstract of the project highlights the core topics that will be covered:
'The enforcement of novel policies may be triggered by a grassroots approach, with a key contribution from information and communication technology (ICT). Current low-cost sensing technologies allow the citizens to directly assess the state of the environment; social networking tools allow effective data and opinion collection and real-time information-spreading processes. Moreover theoretical and modelling tools developed by physicists, computer scientists and sociologists allow citizens to analyse, interpret and visualise complex data sets.
'The proposed project intends to integrate all crucial phases (environmental monitoring, awareness enhancement, behavioural change) in the management of the environment in a unified framework, by creating a new technological platform combining sensing technologies, networking applications and data-processing
tools; the Internet and the existing mobile communication networks will provide the infrastructure hosting this platform, allowing its replication in different times and places. Case studies concerning different numbers of participants will test the scalability of the platform, aiming to involve as many citizens as possible thanks to
low cost and high usability. The integration of participatory sensing with the monitoring of subjective opinions is novel and crucial, as it exposes the mechanisms by which the local perception of an environmental issue, corroborated by quantitative data, evolves into socially-shared opinions, and how the latter, eventually, drives behavioural changes. Enabling this level of transparency critically allows an effective communication of desirable environmental strategies to the general public and to institutional agencies.'
The project will be coordinated by Fondazione ISI (Institute for Scientific Interchange) and the Physics department at Sapienza Università di Roma. Other participants include the L3S Research Center at the Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Universität, Hannover, and finally the Environmental Risk and Health unit at the Flemish Institute of Technological Research (VITO).
At UCL, I will run the project together with Dr Claire Ellul. We will focus on Citizen Science, the interaction with mobile phones for data collection and understanding behaviour change. We are looking for a PhD student to work on this project so, if this type of activity is of interest, get it touch.

|A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled, Clinical Trial of Omega-3-polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Subjects With SLE.
|Brief Summary
The investigators hypothesize that low-dose dietary supplementation with omega-3 fish oil will improve disease activity and endothelial function in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) patients.
|Detailed Description
Patients with SLE have a fifty-fold increased risk of myocardial infarction. This risk is not totally explained by traditional cardiovascular risk factors. In a previous double-blind study of atorvastatin in SLE, there was no reduction in surrogate measures of coronary artery disease (coronary calcium, coronary IMT, carotid plaque) and no effect on inflammatory markers such as ICAM, VCAM, IL-6 and CRP. We need to find novel approaches to reduce coronary artery disease in SLE. In a preliminary study, omega-3 was shown to improve flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery, oxidative stress and disease activity in lupus patients. In this study we will determine if omega-3 improves brachial artery flow dilation, disease activity and other vascular inflammatory markers (IL-6, s-VCAM-1, s-ICAM-1) in SLE, in a double-blind placebo-controlled trial.

If you're attending AirVenture at Oshkosh this summer, you might notice some activity on the southeast corner of Wittman Regional Airport. The Oshkosh Common Council has approved $608,460 for the purchase of about 35 acres of airport land for an aviation industrial park that will be marketed to aviation and support industries.
It's not a done deal just yet. Winnegabo County has yet to approve about $1 million for the purchase of an additional 47 acres adjacent to the airport that will be west of an as-yet-to-be-built road. Those parcels will be leased to companies who are seeking easy airport access. The proximity of the land to the airport means the county could grant runway access to those companies without the approval of the FAA, according to the Oshkosh newspaper The Northwestern.
The Common Council's vote to approve the city portion of the land purchase was unanimous, according to the paper. "An airport is ... an economic driver of a community," said council member Tom Pech Jr., calling the airport an "asset" to the community. Mayor Burk Tower and City Manager Mark Rohloff both agreed that the industrial park would be a key driver of economic development for the city's future.

FORT WAYNE – Of course this wouldn't be easy. Nothing else has been for these Komets, so why should something so humble as a playoff berth be any different?
This long slog began 4 1/2 months ago with a gang that couldn't shoot straight, and then there were changes and more changes and yet more changes, and slowly something began to come together. And then it was April, and Friday, and spring at last – the season down to two games, the playoffs still not pinned down, an Evansville team allegedly playing out the string in the house.
Naturally, it would be a fight to the death.
Naturally, the Icemen would score once in the first, and then again, and suddenly the Komets were looking up from a 2-0 hole. One thousand miles to the south, their shadow, the Florida Everblades, were beating Reading; if both the Icemen and Everblades held serve, the last playoff spot would still be up for grabs on the last day of the season.
Of course this wouldn't be easy.
The good news in that: The Komets have gotten comfortable with it not being easy.
And so fast forward a couple of periods, past Mike Embach's goal 45 seconds into the second period and Scott Fleming's goal 38 seconds into the third. Past Christian Ouellet's goal with 8:36 to play. Past a 12-0 flurry of shots to open the third period, past 43 total shots to Evansville's 23 past Ouellet's goal on the power play with 2:55 to play, the one that sealed the 4-3 win and delivered the playoffs.
Nice for us to get in on our own, winger Brandon Marino said. We waited until the last weekend, and that's tough. But we got the win.
Across the room, defenseman Simon Danis-Pepin was saying pretty much the same thing.
We knew a couple of games back every game now was going to be super important, he said. It's just so nice to get that win tonight out of a hard fought battle like that. Finally the work we've put in this season is coming through for us.
It's work that carried on through the usual ECHL upheaval – call-ups, send-downs, more call-ups – and some not-so-usual upheaval. All told, 39 non-goalies have seen ice time in orange and black this season, plus a club-record nine goalies. And of their 35 wins, 16 have been by one goal.
Lots of scratching and clawing for purpose in all of that. So why not more of it Friday?
We've been in so many one-goal games this year, Danis-Pepin said. It's going to be huge going into the playoffs knowing we have experience playing in one-goal games and hard-fought games.
Back across the room, it was Marino saying the same thing this time.
Better to be winning those games now, he said.
Sure it's better. Everything's better now, obviously. Even the struggles – all the changes, all the stuff that went on before this team found its footing – seems, at least now, like nothing more than a necessary trial to make Friday night feel even more like a reward than it otherwise would have.
I think if you look at this whole season, this long journey; there were a lot of things happened this year that we dealt with, Komets coach Gary Graham said when it was done Friday. We had some ups and downs that everybody had to deal with in the organization. And you know, we made the most out of it.
The guys that have come into the locker room have done everything we could possible ask. The new players that have come in, they buy in right away, they're good teammates. We've got a good locker room – and that's the more important thing.
Well. One of them, anyway.
