New neighbors discovered in Portugal
Author: Natividad Sánchez
Date: October 9, 2012
The Berlengas islands are a nature reserve in front of the town of Peniche, Portugal, and a great example of how much more knowledge of the seabed we need. Though located only a few kilometers from the coast, in just two weeks we no less than 120 species were found whose existence was unknown in the area. Not only that, but four or five of them could be completely new to science. Amazing isn't it?Read More...

Hope for bluefin
Author: Angela Pauly
Date: September 25, 2012
There is some hopeful news on the fate of the bluefin tuna – one of the iconic species of the Mediterranean, and one which has long been held as a frightening example of the effects of overfishing and illegal fishing.
Bluefin tuna, much favored by sushi lovers, was on the verge of collapse. In 2006, International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) established a recovery plan for the stating the likelihood of recovering stocks to levels which can produce Maximum Sustainable Yield by 2022 to be 60%.Read More...
A step forward on the EU shark finning ban – but with a confusing twist
Author: Allison Perry
Date: September 19, 2012
We took a huge step forward today, with the Fisheries Committee vote on the EU shark finning ban. The Committee voted to close major loopholes in the ban, which allowed some countries (namely Spain and Portugal) to land sharks with their fins already removed from their body, in separate ports, at separate times (making it very difficult to monitor whether the finning ban is being followed properly).Read More...
Ranger Expedition 2012: Exploring Ocean Depths
Author: Angela Pauly
Date: September 17, 2012
It's expedition time again; one of our favorite times of year!
Today, we launched the Oceana Ranger Expedition 2012 and this year's focus will be on the deep sea areas of the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
We'll be using our underwater robot (ROV) to take video footage and images of underwater mountains with peaks so deep that divers can't get to them.
Seamounts are incredibly important to protect as they are home to a wide variety of species and habitats that occupy the many different heights and soil types along their banks.Read More...
Exotic species: invaders of the seas
Author: Natividad Sánchez
Date: September 12, 2012
They are often beautiful, but also dangerous. Invasive species are increasingly common on land and at sea, and in many cases their presence in inappropriate places has to do with human activities. Some arrive in ballast water from visiting vessels, others escape from aquariums or travel through artificial channels, and their stocks are expanding and migrating into new areas because of climate change.

10 days to failure in the Med
Author: Angela Pauly
Date: September 11, 2012
It's not looking good for habitat and species protection in the Mediterranean, a big deadline is coming up and EU Member States from the region are failing to meet their obligations, despite the looming threat of financial penalties.

What is the limit of a coastal state's rights to the marine area surrounding it?
Author: Cristina Lopez de las Heras (Volunteer)
Date: September 4, 2012
A country's territory expands to a distance of 200 nautical miles from the coast, or if its continental shelf goes beyond that limit, it can extend further, to 350 miles. In order to be granted this extension, a country must provide sufficient geological and morphological arguments in support of this claim.Read More...

Oil Exploration and Marine Protected Areas in the Canaries: Hardly Compatible
Author: Cristina Lopez de las Heras (Volunteer)
Date: August 9, 2012
The Habitats Directive is the most important EU environmental legislation, requiring EU Member States to protect specific habitat types by incorporating them into a network of protected areas (both on land and at sea) called Natura 2000. But it's not looking like every country is going to meet their requirements.Read More...

Tips to deal with frozen or cutback HELOCs
Permanent link
WASHINGTON (8/7/09)--The Federal Reserve has released a guide to help homeowners deal with home equity lines of credit (HELOCs) that have been frozen or reduced because of the economy. Its "5 Tips for Dealing with a Home Equity Line Freeze or Reduction" explains consumers' rights and lenders' responsibilities when credit lines are reduced. It also provides information for those seeking to have a credit line reinstated. The tips explain that lenders can lawfully reduce or limit a consumer's line of credit regardless of whether the consumer has made timely payments. However, the lender must send a written notice of the action no later than three business days after the action goes into effect. The notice must include information about any other changes to the HELOC. The notice should include specific reasons for the modification ot the HELOC's terms. The most common reasons are a decline the home's value or a change in the borrower's financial circumstances. Understanding why the amount is frozen may help you take steps toward reinstating the original amount. For example: the lender may not be aware of significant home improvements that increase the home's value. If financial circumstances have worsened, look for ways to rebuild the credit rating. Protect your credit history by acting responsibly and contacting the lender immediately if you have questions about a freeze or reduction. Lenders must reinstate the credit privileges when conditions that caused the freeze or reduction no longer exist. The five tips include:
* Read the notice your lender sends you. * Call your lender. * Learn why your lender froze or reduced your HELOC. * Ask your lender how to have your HELOC reinstated. * Remember that your lender can impose fees for reinstating the HELOC.

Brett BunsenTalk2
this wiki
Redirected from Brett
|Brett Bunsen
|First appearance
|Mole Hunt
|Voiced by
|Neal Holman
|Mr. Bloodmobile
|English (native)
|ISIS Employee
|Being shot
|Personal Life
Brett Bunsen was an ISIS employee who has been shot numerous times while employed there. His occupation at ISIS is unknown. Brett permanently walks with Lofstrand crutches, which is most likely due to one or both of his first gunshot wounds from Sterling Archer. He paid for the right to say he had sex with Lana in "Dial M for Mother."
During "Stage Two," when Brett learns of Sterling's breast cancer he makes a joke about Archer getting a disease that's most commonly suffered by women. Despite Sterling's good mood, he pummels Brett in response. Archer would then make amends with Brett by giving him a pink ribbon. He earned the nickname of "Mr. Bloodmobile" for his ability to lose great amounts of blood without dying. He finally died via a headshot wound in White Elephant.
In "El Secuestro", Brett's name appears on an ISIS computer as "Brett Buckley" which seems to conflict with his name, "Brett Bunsen", revealed in season 5.
He is voiced by Neal Holman, the production designer and art director of Archer.
Gunshot WoundsEdit
Brett is a bullet magnet at ISIS headquarters. Whether he's hit by a ricochet while walking by or attempting to put his pants on, he always manages to get randomly shot, many times courtesy of Sterling.
1st Gunshot WoundEdit
His first gunshot wound is from Sterling Archer in "Mole Hunt". Archer shoots multiple times at the ISIS mainframe's door and one of the bullets ricochet and hits Brett, likely in his leg.
2nd Gunshot WoundEdit
In the locker room during "Diversity Hire" during a competition with Conway Stern, Archer tries to prove the stopping power of his small gun by shooting Brett while he puts on his pants, thus stopping him.
3rd Gunshot WoundEdit
Brett suffers a third gunshot wound when Rona Thorne tries shooting an automatic weapon down range at the ISIS shooting range in "Movie Star". As an apology, Rona tells Brett to get a new suit and charge it to her manager.
4th Gunshot WoundEdit
His fourth gunshot wound is provided by Cyril in "El Secuestro." This wound occurred during an ISIS lockdown and was much more serious than the rest. After being forced to cover reception and answer the phones, he eventually passes out.
5th Gunshot WoundEdit
Brett suffers a fifth gunshot wound when Lana demonstrates how Archer's new car is bulletproof in "Drift Problem".
6th Gunshot WoundEdit
Brett managed to be shot a sixth time in "Legs" by a bullet fired from Archer that ricocheted at least five times, including off of Cyril's pocketwatch and a fire extinguisher, before hitting Brett in a stairwell causing massive bleeding. This particular shot involving a 'magic bullet' had Sterling reference the Warren Commission which investigated the assassination of JFK.
7th Gunshot WoundEdit
In the ISIS Training video clip, a drunken Archer is demonstrating gun safety to new recruits when he realizes (after shooting several times) that none of them have ear protection. He asks one of the recruits to hold his gun while he gets ear plugs and tosses it to him. The recruit fumbles with the gun in fear, before dropping it to the ground. The gun, however, does not go off. Archer begins to say how lucky they were, before it suddenly shoots off and hits Brett off-screen.
8th Gunshot Wound and DeathEdit
In the season 5 premiere, "White Elephant", Brett is shot in the head and killed when Archer attempts to get his attention during the FBI raid.
Other InjuriesEdit
In "Stage Two", Brett is beaten badly by Archer after he mocks Archer's breast cancer.
In "Skin Game", Brett is horribly beaten in an elevator by Barry Dylan when he is sent to receive alcohol for Archer's second wedding with Katya Kazanova. Scrawled in his blood on the wall behind him are the messages "Barry was here" and "so was Other Barry".
Later in the same episode, Brett was again horribly beaten by Archer, who mistook him for Barry while hunting for the cyborg in the dark.
Brett's status is deceased.
Ususally when Brett gets shot, he yells "God DAMN it, [name of whoever shot him]!"

Installing Skype on Centos 5.5
There are a couple of options for installing Skype on Centos 5.5
Dynamic means to dynamically link to libraries, and will require you to meet the dependencies of skype, while static is a larger package which meets those requirements. I went with static.
First, make a directory to download the code to (you can use /tmp if you want):
mkdir /usr/share/skype
wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-static
(alternatively: wget http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-beta-dynamic )
#upack the download
tar jxvf skype_static-188.8.131.52.tar.bz2
cd skype_static-22.214.171.124/
less README
cp skype /usr/bin/skype
cp -r avatars/* /usr/share/skype/
cp -r lang/* /usr/share/skype/
cp -r sounds/* /usr/share/skype/
And your skype should be up and running!

Release Date: October 30, 2012
Developer(s): Clover Studio, Capcom, HexaDrive
Platform(s): PS3
I first played this game approximately six years ago on the PlayStation 2. From what I remember of it, it was one of the more memorable titles I ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Fast forward six years in the future, and now this game is being re-released on the PlayStation 3 for only $20 with HD graphics. I must admit, the result of this re-release is a joy not just for me— I get to relive all of the wonderful memories I made with it the first time around— but rather anybody who still hasn't had the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to try out this magnanimous work of art.
To call Okami a work of art is but an understatement, in fact, no simple words can describe the chef d'oeuvre that it is (even if isn't a literal work, mind you!). Like a lyrical and unforgettable haiku, Okami is poetry superimposed onto a video game format. Now that this game is finally in high definition, the sheer amount of effort, detail, love, and heart can be fully appreciated by the naked eye. It was quite obvious that this wasn't the typical video game you would find at your local retailer or movie/game rental kiosk, and that only helps to reinforce that this game is truly a diamond in the rough. I cannot, I repeat… I cannot emphasize just how astonishing Okami HD is. I'm going to try to accomplish something by end of this review; I'll try to convince anybody reading this to either try or buy this game. That will be my goal.
Okami HD (or just Okami) revolves around a sun Goddess by the name of Okami Amaterasu who after 100 years of slumber, comes back to life in order to restore her precious land of Nippon (Japan) to its former self. 100 years in the past, Amaterasu waged war against Orochi, an eight-headed demon that threatened the very existence of mankind. After a difficult battle against the beast, and with the help of a swordsman named Nagi, Amaterasu managed to defeat the eight-headed serpent. During the fight she was heavily wounded and unfortunately succumbed to her wounds. 100 years later Amaterasu is revived once again thanks to guardian spirit Sakuya, Nagi's descendant Susano, and Orochi himself. In present time the land of Japan cries out for Amaterasu's divine intervention.
There is plenty of divine intervention to be done here. Amaterasu carries a glowing weapon known as a "divine instrument" on her back which is her main weapon in combat. This divine instrument allows the wolf Goddess to tap into the power of her "Celestial Brush." This is where the restoration comes in. Using the Celestial Brush technique one can literally use a brush to either attack enemies or draw life into the withering environment around you. This is one of the many fantastic control mechanics involved in this avant-garde adventure game, and thankfully, they are intuitive and easy to learn. By pressing the right bumper on the PS3′s DualShock controller, you bring up the Celestial Brush. You move this technique with the left stick. Time will come to a stop, effectively giving you plenty of time to execute it. Even better is that Okami doesn't punish you for messing up, therefore, don't hesitate to bring out the artist in you as you control that brush. There is no way to circumvent this control scheme, but in the long run, it adds more gravitas than you'd imagine.
After all, it is thanks to the Celestial Brush that you can appreciate Okami's beauty at its best. The Celestial Brush allows you to rejuvenate the world with Amaterasu's 13 different techniques. You can restore broken bridges, open pathways, make withered trees bloom, create divine wind, climb walls, summon the elements, and even slow down time with the Celestial Brush. In other words, it is literally essential to use these different techniques to advance through the game. Like I said before, you can use this brushwork outside of battle as well and this is where Okami's environmentalism comes in. As you trek across the dying land of Japan, you will be required to breathe life back into it using your trusty brush as your tool. For example, are the several cursed areas of Japan that you must wipe away by restoring giant withered cherry trees, which you must revive as they bring back peace and good fortune to the land and its people. You'd think making a tree bloom wouldn't be the best way to describe this, but you would be surprised.
And it doesn't end there. Since you are God after all, you must perform all of your Godly duties such as getting people to believe in you again. What a better way to do that than to win them back through personal requests. These requests will net you Praise, that you need to level up Amaterasu's health stats, ink pots (for Celestial Brush use), and the coin pouch (used to buy more weapons, etc.) You also earn praise from rejuvenating the environment (e.g. making trees bloom, purifying "cursed zones"), and from feeding wild animals. That last part is why I consider this game to be as artistically significant as it is. Like I said already, making a tree bloom or feeding wild animals does not sound like it would make this game stand out from the rest, but it truly does. The small little details are what make this game shine differently from all the rest. All of these different tasks you must perform in order to deify yourself— since as a celestial entity, you need believers— only serve to corroborate that Okami isn't a typical adventure.
The cel-shaded, watercolor doused art direction highlights the artistic virtuoso of those working at the once-established Clover Studio. Who knows what inspired them to make Okami how they did, though whatever it was certainly came from a very special place. I did read that Hideki Kamiya, Okami's lead designer was a fan of The Legend of Zelda. This in turn would inspire Kamiya to make games in a similar vein, and this is quite relevant here. More importantly, you can see how much love and effort was placed into this video game as it draws elements from Shintoism without offending anyone's faith and beliefs in the process. That is a feat in itself, since Okami could have easily failed when you stop to contemplate its scope and ambition. Clover Studio placed a watermark so apparent in this game, that it easily demolishes the limitations of the medium. When a video game manages to come off as culturally significant, even spiritual, that's when one must stop, think, and admit this to be something special.
Okami's gorgeous cel shaded visuals have never looked this good, and in reality, this is how this magnum opus was meant to be seen. The entire game is washed in a watercolor-like hue which further substantiates its integrity. The rugged black outlines surrounding Okami's designs are its de facto principles demonstrating its artistic foundation. There will be plenty of times when the artistry here will leave you breathless, as the entire game is all about restoring its own beauty. It's like an old watercolor painting just waiting to be restored by its new owner. I'm sure Okami wasn't only a love letter to Japanese culture and religion, but also to art and mother nature. In fact, the entire thing looks like an elaborate Japanese 3D sumi-e, or like a multicolored elaborate origami sculpture created in flat space that changes as you shift your eyes around it.
The drop dead gorgeous art direction is complemented further by the game's original score. The score embodies work from a variety of different artists all inspired by Japanese classical music. In other words, while the music is very Japanese (much like the rest of the game), it is pivotal to Okami's existence and couldn't be more precise. Several tracks in the score serve to establish a mood and set a tone whenever you hear them. I bet you never thought video games could help you relax and meditate. Well, that prejudice will go away as soon as you watch Amaterasu feed a wild animal and hear the song which accompanies it. Another relaxing moment will take place whenever you make one of the [aforementioned] giant cherry trees bloom. The song which follows the restoration process (including the images and colors) might even be formidable enough to change your mood. The music here will truly test your faith.
The PlayStation Move makes it even more contemporary than it has ever been. Now, the Celestial Brush can fully be controlled using the PS Move, although the controls aren't completely precise. Using the PS Move peripheral certainly adds novelty, but regrettably not the "innovation" I expected. The device notices your motions around a third of the time, however, with imprecision. You will therefore be going through the same motions more than twice. This gets a bit frustrating when you're drawing a simple circle or a straight line, as more than half of the time these will look oddly misshapen. I also played the Wii version of Okami and noticed similar issues with the Wii Remote. Okami HD will be best experienced with the DualShock controller. The DualShock isn't 100% accurate all the time either, yet it works much better. Having said that, the slightly imprecise control scheme present isn't a godly affliction.
This re-release with HD graphics, full PlayStation Move controller support and trophies, has never been more relevant. I once mentioned how Journey from Thatgamecompany challenges the viewpoint of naysayers questioning the artistic integrity of a video game. Okami [HD] is another one of the very few behemoths that can safely fight off its opposition. A true test of faith and hope, Okami manages to be twice and even three times more memorable than newer video games whenever its re-released. A true instant classic in every sense, shape and form, and now looking better than ever; Okami HD is the most deified form of its titular Sun Goddess that should be indisputably picked up. At only $19.99, I would have payed more than five times that amount for an experience this meaningful. I would gladly pay again, and so should you. Armed with a Celestial Brush in its chops, Okami gracefully leaps beyond your own beliefs and goes where video games have very rarely gone before.
- Enchanting cel shading visuals
- Relentlessly imaginative premise
- Colorful cast of legendary characters
- Firmly upholds its hype and impresses every time it's re-released
- Pushes the artistic boundaries of the medium
- Manages to even become a spiritual experience
- PlayStation Move controls are impractical

UK launch week sales of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 were reportedly down over 20 per cent compared to those achieved by last year's series release, Modern Warfare 3.
That's according to the latest issue of MCV, which claims to have been informed of the annual drop off in sales by UK retailers.
Nevertheless the shooter still enjoyed a very strong launch. Retail monitor Chart Track said on Monday that Black Ops 2 recorded the biggest UK launch of 2012 and the fourth largest of all time.
Black Ops 2's first week sales have only previously been bettered by 2010's original Call of Duty: Black Ops, last year's Modern Warfare 3 and 2009's Modern Warfare 2, although it should be noted that each of those titles launched on more than three platforms.
Black Ops 2 released on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC last Tuesday, while a Wii U version will launch alongside Nintendo's new console on November 30.
The author of MCV's Call of Duty piece confirmed to us this afternoon that the trade mag's figures take into account sales of the Wii version of Modern Warfare 3, which released on the same day as the 360, PS3 and PC editions last November. However, the Wii version no doubt accounted for a relatively small percentage of MW3's launch week sales.

Review Details
Omega 8005 Juicer - For Wheatgrass, Fruits and Vegetable
Product Rating:
- Product Review (submitted on September 25, 2011):
- We wanted a juicer that was especially good for juicing leafy greens, and after research chose this one. We're very happy with it; the pulp is dry and the greens are successfully juiced. It's good for tougher/crunchier fruits and vegetables like beets, carrots, and so on-- not so great with soft juicy things like mango, citrus. We are eager to experience the pasta-making, grain-grinding, and frozen-banana-soft-serve capabilities as well. Good purchase.

Apple Should Not Dictate the (Music) World's Future
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- I often count my blessings: I'm a lucky guy to be able to make a living out of taking relatively meaningless matters so seriously.
During these reflective moments, it's natural to think about the amount of power -- material and psychological -- we assign to Apple (AAPL). Because, in the grand scheme of things, who really cares what new product Apple comes up with next? It's not like they're committed as an organization to the early detection of cancer or something.
But we care. Because we are lucky. Or maybe caring about Apple helps divert our attention from the things that dog us in life. Whatever the case, it's nice to catch some perspective from time to time. To see the world from a vantage point that extends beyond your nose.
With that said, please do not construe this as an attack on Glenn Peoples, the excellent Billboard writer. I read everything he writes with respect and a keen eye to learn. But I just cannot make sense of his latest. It's an article arguing that Apple is giving independent labels a solid deal for inclusion on iTunes Radio.Before Peoples' piece, I make my opposition clear in Apple Should Be Ashamed Of Itself. Peoples' defense of the deal Apple is "offering" indies rests on the following premise:
iTunes Radio could be very valuable to labels if Apple can convince listeners to buy downloads at a healthy clip.Otherwise, Peoples states "labels will be paid a decent royalty until iTunes Radio becomes effective at generating revenue." (I guess what's good for Apple can't necessarily fly for Pandora (P), but digress I do). He doesn't make mention of key factors I brought up in my article:
1. Apple constructed a deal that allows it to stream some music without paying a royalty; and
2. This, for most indies, appears to be a take it or leave it, my way or the highway deal. I'm sure if Taylor Swift's label, Big Machine, objects Apple will make some adjustments, but it's unlikely to budge on pressure from the relative no-names it continues to screw.Here's my question: If we all agree -- and it seems this is the one thing we actually do agree on -- that streaming is the future, who in their right mind would call a deal that only gets marginally better on the backs of digital sales a good one? Allow Apple to dictate the terms of engagement for the music industry. Allow Apple to keep the industry stuck living in the past without the sort of vision to, once and for all, move things forward.

Calif. Republicans Keep Their No-New-Taxes Promise
February 19, 2009 - 5:30 PMWhy did it take California lawmakers so long to pass a budget to close the state's $42 billion deficit? To find one reason, look about 3,000 miles east to an office in Washington.
In a campaign whose flames have been fanned by conservative bloggers and commentators such as Rush Limbaugh, anti-tax advocate Grover Norquist has been persuading lawmakers across the country to sign a pledge to vote against any and all tax increases.
"Serve and protect the state - not loot it," the president of Americans for Tax Reform said in an interview this week.
Norquist said one in six state lawmakers across the country has signed his Taxpayer Protection Pledge. Members of Congress, governors and attorneys general also have signed it.
In California, 40 of the 44 Republicans in the Legislature - and not one of the 75 Democrats - have signed on. And nearly every one of the GOP lawmakers refused to break their vow even as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a fellow Republican, warned of "financial Armaggedon" unless the two-year tax-raising budget was approved. He said that the deficit was so big it could not be closed with cuts alone and that those who thought so had "a big math problem."
The final spending plan to close California's shortfall through June 2010 includes $12.8 billion in higher sales, personal income and auto taxes.
"I'm not voting for the budget because I signed a tax pledge; I'm not voting for the bill because raising taxes will devastate our economy for all Californians," said state Sen. Tony Strickland of Thousand Oaks, one of those who kept their word.
Norquist called the final vote "a truly sad day for California taxpayers." He had no sympathy for the five Republicans who signed the pledge but then voted for higher taxes in the compromise plan.
"These people broke their word," he said.
Some Democratic lawmakers see the no-tax pledge taken by their counterparts as irresponsible and an obstacle to compromise.
"That signature clearly abrogates the legislative responsibility which voters entrusted to them," said Sen. Mark Leno, a Democrat from San Francisco. "It's as stupid as my signing a pledge that I'll never make cuts."
As if to underscore that point, many of those who signed Norquist's pledge are finding they have to backpedal as the nation's recession deepens and they are left with few options to close gaping budget deficits.
In Kentucky, for example, 17 pledge-signers in the state General Assembly last week voted for new taxes on cigarettes and alcohol to help offset the state's $456 million shortfall.
Florida Senate President Jeff Atwater, a Republican, signed the pledge but said he expects tax increases, including a cigarette tax increase, to be part of the budget in his chamber. He argued that rebalancing the state's tax structure does not conflict with his tax philosophy, even if Florida receives more tax revenue as a result.
The pledge was not the only thing that stalled California's budget. The state's unusual requirement of a two-thirds majority to approve budgets and tax increases was the main obstacle. Also, GOP lawmakers never offered a plan to close the deficit solely with program cuts.
One of the California Republicans to go back on their word was Sen. Abel Maldonado of Santa Maria, who cast the deciding vote for the budget early Thursday. He said he now fears for his political career.
"My friends, this might be the end for me," he said. But he added: "This ensures it's not the end for California."

The attitude-heavy compilation is a must for fans of bands like Blink 182, Smash Mouth and P.O.D. and is the perfect way to celebrate the golden era of pop punk, when jeans were baggier, hoodies were hoodier and only the people who didn't care about being cool had tattoos.

41st Annual Cooking Report
Cooking and Looking Smart
An APPLIANCE Staff Feature
Consumers around the world continue their love affair with higher-end appliances, especially in their showcase kitchens, and appliance makers are eager to provide cooking appliances that have stunning looks, gourmet performance, and a high IQ.
The versatile grill from Evo Inc. is designed to turn cooking into entertainment, inside or outside, in a residential or commercial setting.
The de facto standard finish for premium appliances is stainless steel. However, vibrant colors have always been available for premium, even heavy-duty commercial-style appliances. Today, more consumers are daring to commit to vibrant color on kitchen fixtures, and colorful alternatives to stainless ranges are becoming common. OEMs from around the globe showed off new color options at this year's Kitchen/Bath Industry Show in Las Vegas.
Dacor launched a colored-glass front on its wall ovens three years ago, and for 2007, it expanded the colored glass to a full line of appliances under the Preference brand name. K/BIS also saw an exhibition by Viking Range Corp., which is relaunching the St. Charles brand of kitchen cabinetry. This all-steel line of cabinets will be offered in 24 planned colors, and Viking's kitchen appliances will come in matching colors.
Prizer-Painter Inc., once a contract manufacturer of commercial appliances for Garland and other brands, launched BlueStar commercial-style appliances for the residential market in 2002. Prizer had a history of finishing expertise, and in the 1990s it developed a significant two-coat/one-fire powder-coating system. In 2007, that finishing expertise gives it the ability to offer 190 color choices in its BlueStar ranges—the most of any range OEM. If that's still not enough, BlueStar will finish a range in custom colors as well.
"More than ever, consumers are looking to express themselves through their kitchen design. With a palette of 190 different colors…BlueStar offers an unprecedented opportunity for customization and personal expression," says Keith Wolf, vice president of marketing. In fact, Wolf adds, most of those 190 colors have already been ordered. Clearly, there is a wide range of tastes in kitchen décor.
European ranges can have sophisticated color choices. For example, La Cornue's handmade Château ranges can be finished in rich shades such as British racing green and Eggplant.
Tecnogas, a member of the Antonio Merloni Group based in Italy, is taking a more lighthearted approach to the Allegro Fornello, or "cheerful gas cooker," a freestanding range launched in June. The range aims to bring more cheerfulness into the kitchen through the innovative use of color. A combination of lids and flame diffusers in different colors and materials is interchangeable with the Series II gas burners supplied by Sabaf. The appliance even allows the homeowner to change out these cooker elements to match changing kitchen décor. Engineering the appliance capitalized on the unique supply relationship the OEM established last year with Sabaf. Under the agreement, Tecnogas not only buys components from Sabaf (such as tabs, thermostats, burners, and oven hinges), there is also a higher degree of cooperation between the companies, including comarketing activities to promote products such as the Allegro Fornello.
Cooking can be a great way to entertain. Restaurants put special equipment in full view of patrons to bring flair to food preparation; consumers are just as interested in bringing cooking drama and entertainment into their homes. Evo Inc. (Beaverton, OR, U.S.) offers its versatile grill in models to accommodate both user segments. Foodservice professionals in various culinary institutes and fine hotels use its NSF-certified commercial-grade models. Professional models have 700 sq in. of ceramic-coated steel cooking surface, which is heated underneath using dual circular gas burners that produce temperatures between 225° and 670°F. A central burner is 10 in. in diameter and heats the center of the work surface; a 20-in. burner heats the outer cooking surface. The burners combine to produce up to 48,000 Btu and provide up to seven hours of cooking time on a single propane tank. The circular flattop cooking station can be used for indoor and outdoor presentation cooking events, allowing the chef to be center stage with an audience all around.
Home users can also put the grills inside or outside, where they lend themselves to group-participation cooking events, such as pizza parties. The home unit has the same performance as the commercial grill.

Work on new VU dorm to begin this fall
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent May 7, 2013 4:04PM
Updated: June 9, 2013 6:11AM
VALPARAISO — Work on a four-story dorm at the intersection of LaPorte Avenue and University Drive should begin this fall and be ready for the 2014-15 school year.
Before that happens, Valparaiso University will begin demolition of two small buildings on LaPorte — the Confucius Center and the health center — in August.
Around mid-June, the city will replace a water main along LaPorte from the roundabout at Sturdy Road to the old hospital parking lot west of Roosevelt Road, where it'll go north to Lincolnway.
University representatives brought preliminary plans for the new dorm at the southeast corner of the intersection to Tuesday's Site Review Committee meeting.
Joel R. Sandridge of FGM Architects in Chicago said the 280-bed building will resemble the collegiate Gothic architecture of the rest of the university and fit into the orthogonal grid of the campus, with one side running along LaPorte.
The first floor will be divided between common spaces and residential units. The other floors will be suites of shared bathrooms at about 80 beds per floor.
To avoid noise and an unaesthetic look, "we've taken a lot of equipment from the roof top and put it in the basement," Sandridge said.
Trees along LaPorte will block the building from street view. Trees around the dorm won't grow tall enough to interfere with tension wires around it.
Mark Geskey of the city's water department said replacement of the water main should be completed before students arrive for the 2013-14 school year and dorm construction begins.
The 80-year-old line has had about 50 breaks since the 1970s.
City Engineer Tim Burkman requested that when the university replaces the sidewalk along LaPorte it puts in an 8-foot wide variety that matches the city pathways. Valparaiso intends to extend the pathway to downtown from the university to Garfield Street to the west, where it now ends. Burkman asked that the university put a crosswalk across LaPorte at the stop sign, so students can access the Lincolnway pathway to the north.
City Planner Tyler Kent asked for a concrete pad on LaPorte for a V-Line bus stop, which the city could put a shelter on in a partnership with VU.

Sharing Nursing's Knowledge: The January 2014 Issue
Have you signed up to receive Sharing Nursing's Knowledge? The monthly Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) e-newsletter will keep you up to date on the work of the foundation's nursing programs, and the latest news, research, and trends relating to academic progression, leadership, and other essential nursing issues. These are some of the stories in the January issue:
Patients Slowly Gaining Access to Care Provided by Advanced Practice Registered Nurses
In recent years, several states have taken steps to ease restrictions on advanced practice registered nurses (APRNs), indicating that efforts to empower them and improve patient access to care are picking up steam. However, many consumers still lack unfettered access to care provided by APRNs because two-thirds of states do not allow them to practice without physician supervision—and even in states that do, APRNs aren't always able to practice independently.
Stronger Primary Care System Is Goal of RWJF Scholar
RWJF Executive Nurse Fellow Margaret Flinter, PhD, APRN, has been at the center of three movements: community-oriented primary care, the growth of the community health center movement, and the growth of nurse practitioners as primary care providers. She founded the country's first formal post-graduate residency training program for new nurse practitioners, and co-directs The Primary Care Team: Learning from Effective Ambulatory Practices, a national project supported by RWJF that is working to help health care organizations develop and accelerate innovations.
Health Leaders Rally Supporters to Continue Transforming Nursing
Three years into a national movement to transform the nursing profession to improve health and health care, leaders came together recently to rally supporters at the Institute of Medicine's 2013 Richard & Hinda Rosenthal Lecture. Leaders in the field, including Donna Shalala, PhD, FAAN, former head of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and chair of the Committee on the RWJF Initiative on the Future of Nursing, acknowledged many successes and urged nurses and their allies to "seize the opportunity" to transform nursing. More than 1,000 people viewed the lecture online.
Assuring Better State-Level Nursing Workforce Data Systems
The first step to ensuring there will be enough nurses to meet growing demands for health care services is to possess robust and accurate data on the nursing workforce. However, the foremost data source on the demographics, location, and practice behaviors of U.S. nurses has been discontinued. A new set of briefs, developed by a team of researchers funded by RWJF's Interdisciplinary Nursing Quality Research Initiative, provides information and guidance to help states build and maintain nursing workforce data systems that will help answer questions about the current and future supply, distribution, diversity, and demand for nurses.

Steve Snow founder of Charlotte's Web and community networking champion diesPaul, · Categories: General
When I met Steve Snow, he was not only embarking on a life-changing journey, he was embarking on a journey in which he changed others lives as well.
Charlotte's Web (here in 1997) was conceived before the Web was really or readily available to all. Steve saw potential for strong and broad democratic involvement aided by technology that would transform communities like Charlotte reaching out to the homeless and to public housing equally with outreach to those more privileged.
Charlotte's Web had a fantastic start then ran into trouble, mostly political due to it's involvement with various parts of the Charlotte-Mecklenburg government each of whom had a financial stake and so a policy stake in the enterprise.
Steve somehow managed to manage CharWeb through that time and into the future until about 2001 when Charlotte.com picked up the project and Steve left.
Steve was an outspoken advocate of full-community participation in the online community. He helped found the Association for Community Networking and advocated for access for the homeless.
Steve still cared about and was involved in community even in his counseling and consulting practice in Asheville, NC, which he named CommCure. In his own biography on the CommCare site, he described himself this way:
"Among his primary interests academically are integrating human needs and technical infrastructure and Jungian applications of SandPlay in virtual environments. He also has a deep commitment to addressing complex trauma in children and adults, with a special emphasis on men who commit domestic, family or interpersonal violence, an area for which he is a regular speaker in national and international conferences."
The final sentence rings true especially as it pertains to Steve's commitment to others: " If you are interested in talking about any of these things, please send an e-mail note and he'll reply quickly."
If only that were still true in fact as well as spirit.
Steve died suddenly on December 27th in Asheville, NC.

Alert! @andycarvin be talking about Steve Snow (and maybe Steve Cisler) on Talk of the Nation tomorrow December 31 at 2pm EST.
6 Responses to "Steve Snow founder of Charlotte's Web and community networking champion dies"
Steve was a great inspiration beyond the US, as I've reported here http://socialreporter.com/?p=477 So sorry to lose him.
I met Steve early into the Charlotte's Web project. Along with Caroline Felton and David Ramsey, Steve took many of us on the journey. I was a programmer at NationsBank at the time. I wrote code at a "dumb terminal" all day, in a tall office building near the corner of Trade & Tryon…
One day I was in the main branch of the public library at lunch break. A buddy came over. He said to check out the geek show…
I walked in & met Caroline. She walked me over to where David & Steve were huddled, deep in conversation.
Dave had perfected a self service email sign up screen, on what I soon learned was a "web browser". He asked me to test it for him. I filled in the information, and he pulled out a singal sheet of paper.
"Your ID is web19… "
"What will I do with it?"
"Log in when you get home. You'll see…"
When Charlotte's Web closed up shop, I heard they had ID's up to 25,000. The Charlotte Observer took over the email accounts for them, along with their domain name…
Yeah, Steve wasn't a business man. He never had a viable business model.
He irritated the people who could have given him enough money to be at it forever…
Steve Snow was a visionary. He saw the potential. He saw what COULD be.
Our job is to keep his vision alive…
In 1997 the Community network was just a blury idea. Without doubt, he was a visionary man.
….and which is more important for the world, the visionary or the business man……?
Where the Snow Falls
Between the river birch and fragrant pine
Branches weighed by memories of a friend
Whose life was laughter, well lived over time
And though he is gone, we will meet again.
In a kinder world and a sacred place
You believed that love was a right and choice
For children and the lost to welcome grace
Learn to trust again, blossom and rejoice.
Your life carved its path through wood, song and word
Renaissance man in the deep winters dark
In a world of chaos, driven by sword
You were the springtime, the song of a lark.
Where the snow falls flowers still bloom and grow
In prison courtyards among silent cries
And bare footed angels speak that well know
A time from ashes when all will arise.
In loving memory of Steve Snow,
Angel, friend and advocate.
25 January 2009
After knowing Steve as a trusted therapist for over a year, he encouraged me to begin writing again and to express my visions through poetry. This was a huge breakthrough for me as I had come to a new safe place where my past experience of domestic abuse was no longer a threat to my life and soul.
Je Suis
I am she who dreams
And flys at night
When dark clouds cover stars
And moon, takes flight
Who sails through tempests
Knowing not where
The stormy course will lead
Or what will fare
I am the eye of the storm,
And upon my wings
Rise above on dragons fire
To eternal things
I am a chrysalis, an emerging
I am I.
(October 2006)

I've been an emotional person for as long as I can remember. But in pictures of me as a child, I always had a smile on my face. No matter what was going on internally, I managed a smile for those around me. That smile also hid the pain inside, the confusion, the internal dialogue, and the sadness. As I grew up I learned how to hide it even more with eating, perfectionism and typical type A behavior. Anything sound familiar yet? Here I am in my late forties and perimenopause sneaks in over the last year and because of [...]Read more ›

Uh….that would be the environment of your body! What's the difference between an acidic and an alkaline environment? Well first and foremost, if your body is highly acidic, cancer cells can thrive. And, it's not just about the food that goes in that effects your body's pH balance….it's about everything that goes in, on, and comes out of or comes near your body. Stress, toxins…both can make the body more acidic. Check out the previous blog about keeping toxins out of your body. A healthy pH is about 30% acid and 70% alkaline. Processed and cooked foods, meat, cheese, caffeine, [...]Read more ›

Midlothian boys and girls varsity soccer win big against Everman
The Ellis County Press
MIDLOTHIAN - Midlothian hosted Everman in boys and girls varsity soccer Friday night.
The girls showed an impressive amount of teamwork with great passing and communication. The Lady Panthers never let the Lady Bulldogs get in the game as their fast-paced play left Everman confused and unable to get anything started offensively or defensively.
The game was called after the first period with a 5-0 win for Midlothian.
The Midlothian boys took the field next.
Midlothian showed great coverage of Everman giving the Bulldogs little room to pass the ball.
Both teams showed quickness up and down the field.
Strong defenses kept the game scoreless through the first period even though both sides had several scoring opportunities.
Even though Everman deliberately ran the clock every time they had an out-of-bounds possession, it wasn't enough to beat Midlothian. The Panthers scored three unanswered goals in the second period of play taking the win 3-0.

New York, NY United States
Francoise Bollack Architects
The apartment building at 250 Cabrini Boulevard in Manhattan was designed by noted architects Boak and Paris and completed in 1937. As in all speculative residential buildings of the period, the lobby was an important public space, setting an appropriate tone of modernity and luxury.
Although the Art Deco lobby still has its original components (polychrome terrazzo floor, etched glass doors with nickel frames, ceiling with geometric pattern, etc.) the ensemble has lost its cohesiveness.
The exterior lighting scheme is lost also: it consisted of symmetrically placed columnar lights framing the large entrance recess and, at the door, lights at the top of the square framing elements diffused by textured glass.
We conducted a thorough investigation of the original finishes and restored them meticulously. We also restore the original nickel and frosted glass, built-in, light fixtures as well as the two chandeliers. The unusual light columns on each side of the entrance is reinstated and we have designed new exterior light fixtures to replace long-gone lanterns.

Recommendation 5: To enhance progress in polymer science and engineering through increased collaboration across the subfields of materials science and engineering, the committee recommends the following:
Initiation of efforts to better integrate the field of polymer science and engineering both internally among polymer subdisciplines and externally with other materials subfields, including, for example, establishment of interdisciplinary programs by academia, initiation of cooperative programming by professional societies, funding of synergistic cross-boundary projects by government agencies, and structural reorganization by industrial laboratories to maximize cooperation among the various materials subfields;
Adoption by funding agencies of a broader definition of polymer science and engineering in order to foster advances in interdisciplinary research and education; and
Efforts to take advantage of research opportunities at the interfaces between polymer science and engineering and other materials areas.

NOVA Fall 2010 Traditional or 2+1 anyone??
- 0Oct 6, '09 by jp6492Just wanted to see if anyone is applying to Nova's nursing program for Fall 2010. I keep going back and forth about whether to do the traditional or the 2+1 momentum program. I am also studying right now to take the TEAS. I am so nervous... Anyone out there doing the same?
- 0Apr 13, '10 by dsb26Hey! I am going through the same thing you are going through. It's great that I am not alone on this matter. I too am studying for my TEAS exam as well and want to start this fall. I am also debating whether traditional or 2+1 is better for me. I feel like all of that time gap of no school will get to me, any thoughts? Glad I found your post!
- 0Apr 15, '10 by latoya7161HI, I am confused. Nova requires you to take a TEAS test? I already submit my application for Fall 2010 but I was not told this.
- 0Apr 16, '10 by RNwannabe2011Quote from latoya7161Yes, it's #9 on the pre-admission check list for the traditional program, not sure about Momentum.HI, I am confused. Nova requires you to take a TEAS test? I already submit my application for Fall 2010 but I was not told this.
Follow this link and then click on the pre-admission test information.
- 0Apr 16, '10 by CilantrophobeQuote from latoya7161That doesn't even make sense. You submitted your application or your checklist?HI, I am confused. Nova requires you to take a TEAS test? I already submit my application for Fall 2010 but I was not told this.
You can't even submit your application without completing the TEAS, because they won't approve your checklist without it...
I'm a current Traditional student. We are 3 weeks from finishing our first year!!!!!!!!!!
ETA: My opinion is that the 2+1 program is pointless considering you can simply go through the RN to BSN program after graduating the NOVA nursing program.
- 0Apr 20, '10 by tcs26I'm a current momentum student and just finishing up my second semester. One thing that's exclusive to our program is the guaranteed admission to GMU's school of nursing. While traditional students can certainly apply to Mason's RN to BSN program, the process can be competitive and leaves no guarantee. Mason has also made special agreements about credit transfers for momentum students, allowing many of our lower level classes to count as upper level classes so that we only have NUR curriculum to complete when we get to Mason. That being said, there are more credits to complete while in the momentum program (making it a more expensive option) and I have been told that the summer sessions are quite rigorous. Hope this helps and good luck with your decision
- 0Apr 26, '10 by CilantrophobeQuote from tcs26Guaranteed to GMU's school of nursing, but guaranteed spot in a program? I've heard that even the momentum students had to meet specific requirements to go directly into the nursing program at GMU.One thing that's exclusive to our program is the guaranteed admission to GMU's school of nursing.
It's not applicable to me anymore of course, just something I've been curious. Had I applied to the Momentum 2+1 program, I would have waited until this summer to actually start nursing classes. I'm glad I took the route I did!
Except the news on the street is that from here on out GMU isn't accepting NAS 161 & 162. Does anybody know if that is true? Kind of a bummer, if so, but not the end of the world. Just MORE classes I'll have to take to get my BSN. I don't regret taking NAS 161 & 162, because I was looking for the quickest route to graduating nursing school and getting a job, but it sucks that I took a couple of now obsolete classes.
- 0Apr 26, '10 by 2011RNtobeMason will nolonger take NAS 161 and 162 but they have a special "articulation" with Nova and will still take the Nas from Nova students. it's on the website
- 0Apr 26, '10 by tcs26Yes, we have a guaranteed spot in GMU's nursing program as long as we adhere to the GPA guidelines and successfully pass the nclex following graduation from NVCC. The transfer agreement between Mason and NVCC requires that Mason accept all NVCC students that maintain the required GPA and credit hours. This rule does not apply to the school of nursing. They have their own criteria for accepting students and can turn away NVCC students and RN's if there's no space (even if the GPA and other requirements are met). The momentum program is a combined program between Mason and NVCC and the purpose of the program is to complete a BSN degree from Mason in three years.
