Speed awareness
Some of you may remember I was nabbed by a Wiltshire and Swindon Camera Safety Partnership Cashpoint for going too fast - I knew there was a form of words I should have used as I informed them who was driving in response to their NIP and in accordance with Section 172 but I couldn't find them. Here they are:
PePiPoo: PACE Witness Statement
As this statement is provided under threat of criminal penalty [Funke v France] and as I have not received the caution required by paragraph 10.1 of PACE Code C [Mawdesley -v- the Chief Constable of Cheshire [2004] 1 All E.R. 58], I make this statement on the express understanding that it shall not be used or disclosed in any proceedings of whatever nature against myself.
I found it thanks to this:
Revealed: Hundreds of civilians are operating mobile speed cameras | the Daily Mail
Thousands of motorists could have their speeding fines refunded thanks to a landmark court case taking place this week.
A businessman will tell magistrates his penalty charge should be overturned because the hand-held camera that caught him driving over the limit was operated by a civilian and not a serving police officer...
Mike Morgan, who runs the anti-speed camera website www.pepipoo.com and will speak on the driver's behalf at the hearing in Devizes Magistrates' Court, Wiltshire, told The Mail on Sunday: "There is no question in our minds that the camera partnerships are acting outside of the law by using civvies instead of police officers.
"Police constables are considered to be officers of the Crown and, as such, are deemed to be able to form what is known as a prior opinion of excess speed. The camera or other device provides the secondary opinion - but one is not valid without the other.
"We have sought top legal advice and they agree that there is no Act of Parliament that gives the civilian camera operators the empowerment to give primary evidence - only a police officer can do that."
By coincidence on Tuesday instead of being in Devizes Magistrates' Court to get my 3 points I have been offered a Speed Awareness Workshop. (My old dog used to give me lessons in speed awareness, he would stick his head out the side window and the faster we went the bigger his stupid grin was... ) So I'm off to be re-educated. Though I might pop into the court before hand to see how the case goes, it might give some amusement as I sit on a cheap plastic chair being lectured at....

In some type of twisted dark humor, AT&T announced today their plans to bring a 1Gbps Internet service to the city of Austin, TX. If you have been following the news of Google Fiber, they too made their expansion into the city of 820K residents official yesterday morning. So, for anyone not living in Austin, TX this must just seem like the worst thing ever. (more…)

Google Releases Further Details About Google Fiber Rollout in Austin, TX
It was made official yesterday that Google Fiber would be coming to Austin, Texas. While I don't find it fair at all, the folks down there are as excited as ever, and Google is finally releasing more details about the roll out. According to their post, homes won't begin to be setup until mid-2014. That seems like quite the wait, but it should be completely worth it. (more…)
Google Fiber Officially Headed to Austin, TX
It's official – Austin, Texas is the new home of the Google Fiber expansion. As was rumored last week, Google is set to bring the gigabit Internet service to the town sometime in the relative future, but there was no specific date given. Austin now joins company with Kansas City, the first city to host the service. (more…)
Google to Announce Fiber for Austin Next Week, Rest of Us Feel Left Out
Oh my goodness. Looks as though the time has come for Google's gigabit Internet service, Fiber to finally expand beyond its small realm of Kansas City. It's about time, Google! According to a statement, the city of Austin, Texas and Google have a very important announcement to make on April 9th, with almost everyone who runs the city in attendance. While Google did not come out and say it is for Fiber just yet, The Verge speculates that there is already enough evidence to come to that conclusion. (more…)
Google Posts Fiber App to Google Play, Won't Let You Play With It Unless You Have Fiber
As much as we'd all like to have Google's Fiber internet and TV service in our homes, only the lucky few that live in the suburbs of Kansas City get to have it. However, it would seem that Google wants to tease the rest of us by releasing the Google Fiber app to Google Play. You can download it, but you can't even toy around with the app unless you have Fiber associated with your Google account. (more…)
Netflix Ranks ISP Speeds, Google Fiber Beats Out Comcast and Verizon's FiOS
Not that this is a total shocker and given that Google Fiber currently only serves a single city, Netflix has ranked America's Internet service providers based on their average streaming speeds. Currently, Fiber outperforms all of America's other offerings like FiOS, Comcast, Time Warner, Charter, and basically everybody else in existence by a hefty margin. (more…)
Full U.S. Roll Out of Google Fiber Would Cost Google $140 Billion
According to Goldman Sachs, the best estimate for how much it would cost Google to have a complete Google Fiber roll out to the United States would cost roughly $140 billion. That's $140,000,000,000. That's a lot of zeros. Technically, Google's yearly budget for such projects is $4.5 billion, which means we could be waiting quite some time before others outside of Kansas City experience 1Gbps download and upload speeds.
Other estimates were done to see how much the cost would amount to if they decided to only light up half of America, which still equaled to about $70 billion. That's just $25 billion over the amount of cash that Google has on hand during any given day of the week.
Come on, Apple. Lend a helping hand?

Google to Create Own Wireless Service in Partnership With Dish?
According to the Wall Street Journal, Dish Network is looking to build out its own wireless service thanks to spectrum that it acquired back in 2008. While it has talked to multiple potential partners, one of them should get you excited – Google. A source close to the matter said that the talks between the two were not advanced and that they could lead to nothing, however, it's certainly an area that makes sense on a number of levels for Google. The idea here, is to create a network that could rival AT&T and Verizon. (more…)

RagaBabe Organic Cotton Sherpa Inserts
Rated #1 on Diaper Pin
RagaBabe's unbelievably soft and absorbent diaper inserts are made of 2 layers of unbleached organic cotton sherpa with 2 layers of bamboo rayon on the inside. Unlike most cotton materials, the soft texture of our inserts help keep wetness away from baby's skin.
Our inserts do not need to be 'prepped' by repeated washings to reach full absorbency. Wash RagaBabe Inserts only once (separately from diapers) before using. After the first wash, you may wash diapers and inserts together.
A snap on the back is designed to be used with RagaBabe's Organic '2-Step' and Snapless '2-Step'. It can be used with RagaBabe's 'Easy' All-In-One (or other brands) when extra absorbency is needed by laying on the lining.
Diaper inserts come in Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large and Doubler/NB. The Doubler/NB is the same size as our Small insert, but thinner, and can be laid into a diaper if you need extra absorbency for nap, travel, or night.
New! Extra Large Inserts... Designed for Size 3 2-Steps when unsnapped or snapped once. Can also be used in Size 2 when unsnapped.
RagaBabe Doublers can be used in 3 ways:
- Snapped into our Organic '2-Step' for newborns
- Layed on top of another insert for older babies
- Added to our 'Easy' All-In-One by laying on the lining when extra absorbency is needed for nap and nighttime
Extra Large Insert - Size 3 unsnapped or snapped once. Also can be used in Size 2 unsnapped.

"Tony [Parker] looked aggressive and did a great job at both ends of the floor. He's just been phenomenal."
Tim Duncan added 23 points and 10 rebounds and Manu Ginobili scored 20 points for the Spurs, giving them their ninth post-season win in a row.
"We possibly played our best game of the year."Gregg Popovich, Spurs coachFor the Suns, Shaquille O'Neal had 19 points and Steve Nash was held to seven as Phoenix fans booed the team at the end of the game.
"Whatever we tried to do they seemed like they had an answer and Tony Parker obviously was terrific," Mike D'Antoni, Suns coach, said.
Parker said a four-game sweep would be difficult.
"We're going to try our best," the Frenchman told reporters.
"But they will play like they have nothing to lose and we just have to give at least a good effort and play good basketball."
Also on Friday the Dallas Mavericks beat the New Orleans Hornets 97-87 largely thanks to Dirk Nowitzki's 36 points, 19 rebounds and six assists for their first win after back-to-back losses in the opening games of their series.

Hawaii Five-0 Review: Rumor Has Itby Jim Garner at . Comments
"Ha 'awe Make Loa:" Death Wish
In his slow progression from being my least favorite character to making the top three, Max made a lot of progress this week, thanks in part to his quick thinking to help and injured man and his adorable new girlfriend Sabrina (Rumer Willis).
I actually feel a little bad for the Willis (the daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore), as she was put into an episode with the acting talents of C. Thomas Howell and sexy super model Behati. Talk about a double whammy. How is she supposed to compete with them?
Thankfully, she didn't have to. She just had to look cute with Max and not flinch when he melted ice chips on her lips. Setting aside how touching that gesture was, would they really need to give her water by mouth if she's only been out a few hours? Last time I was in the ER I got an IV of fluids and didn't need to drink anything for two days.
But I'm no doctor, so I'm willing to go with it.
For the record, I know she couldn't have been out very long, because Max was still in his bloody shirt and nobody seemed to think that was weird. Hey, Steve, next time you go to the hospital to get Max's statement after a shooting, take him a shirt would ya!
In a rare "double case" episode, Danny had the horrible job of protecting three Victoria Secret models from a stalker all of whom took a strong interest in Grace. Best part about this story is Danny was not grumpy once. In fact I don't think he stopped smiling the whole time, even after shooting the stalker.
And of course for those of you playing the recently created H5O Foot Chase Drinking Game, it was a banner night as we got two different chases with several things knocked over, a person car-jacked and knocked down, one suspect tackled, and I'm giving a bonus drink for the naked chase as where else would we get awesome Hawaii Five-0 quotes like this:
Kono: Male suspect traveling on foot, south on Koka Street. What's he wearing? Nothing, that's right he's bare ass naked. | permalink
Overall, this was a fun episode. I'm guessing C. Thomas Howell got a new agent, because he has been in everything lately. In fact, this appearance gives him the trifecta of Monday night shows, as he was on Revolution and Castle in the last couple of months. So I'm giving this episode 4.5 cute bank tellers in honor of Max and his new girl.
What did you think? Do you want to see Rumer Willis with Max again?

I know many people are tired of seeing Doris. I believe that we are suppose to dislike Doris because I bet peter idea of Doris is that one, viewers to hate her, because of that things she did in the past and lie to her kids. We are not suppose to like her. As much as there are times when Doris character really p**s me off I believe her character is important to know more about Wo Fat and the ties she has with him and if there is any link to Steve dad murder, who knows!! Remember that Wo Fat is a character that will stick for a while
the december 3rd episode of hawaii five-o was great Max having a secret girlfriend that nobody at work knew about!! way to go Max&sabrina!! these two would make a great super couple on Hawaii five-o!! the mystery about how the robbers were headless that was great& how charlie explained it to Kono!! the stalker was a great case for the models! Kamekona & his friend impersonating Steve& danny & how he negotiated a deal that was hilarious!! how two men that were the same age could meet at a cancer treatment center & hatch a secret plan with the bank,along with his ex& little girl was touching .. but when daddy pays someone so you can redeem yourself in a dishonest way is below the belt for any father!! kudos to the entire five-o task force &max as well!!
ditto what Tess said! my thoughts exactly. and i thought c thomas howell was great.
Yes, Yes!! Just when you think Alex O'Loughlin couldn't possibly get even more handsome than he already is.... well, he sure as heck just keeps getting
better and better, and......etc....and the guy can act!!! I mean how can you find anything wrong with this show when you have Alex - he's 'top drawer' --
I'm also in favor of seeing a little more of Catherine -- they are great together and do the old "lovey thing" perfectly --- And please stop barking about Doris...you must know by now she is critical to the upcoming storyline surrounding WoFat....this week's episode was excellent -- couple of storylines going on at the same time -- don't know about you, but I found it interesting, exciting, looking forward to lots more of this fantastic
well, i enjoyed the show too. obviously a plug for VS show tonight, but... i don't think there is a straight man alive who minds being around half naked, young beautiful, if too skinny, women. also, you guys are way harsh on mom mcgarret and catherine. i like them both! any personal relationship is interesting i think, or more interesting than formulaic police drama. max kind of bugs me, but. just too geeky for me. and yes, alex does look even better than he did before, if that is possible...
Good point denise--a 9-year-old girl has no business at a lingerie fashion show and Danny letting her get made up wasn't the smartest parenting move.
Any episode without Doris and Catherine is great in my book. Can't stand either of them. They're both totally useless, and they just detract from the team chemistry that makes this show. Loved Danny with the models, and thought they did great with their roles. Loved Steve leaping out of the window without even looking, LOL. Loved Grace with Danny and uncle Steve at the end. Kono was fun. Not enough Chin, as usual, but loved Che Fong. The main case was silly, but after all the boring and stupid Shelburne tedium, this was really, really enjoyable.
I agree with Tuki. It was so evident that the storyline with the VS models was a lame attempt to grab young male viewers to raise their demo up. It was out of place in the episode and just plain dumb. I felt bad for Scott because they made him look like a teenager drooling instead of a grown man with a child. The models couldn't act and sorry, they looked emaciated, not attractive. CBS wanted to promote their VS show for tonight.It didn't work and the ratings dropped back down one million viewers and back to a 2.2 demo. The ratings continue low. They feel better when you see 9 million viewers, until you compare them with the decent ratings they used to get at 10-12 million viewers in previous seasons. The viewers who came from Castle when it was not on last week either returned to Castle OR watched the special instead. And the special won by a landslide because it had a demo of 2.8 which is far more important to the advertisers who pay for the show than the # of viewers. And the # of viewers was comparable; high 8 million for the special and low 9 million for H50. They need to start finding different story lines as they keep repeating the same ones; bank robberies, chase scenes, heads cut off, etc. They depend completely on their elaborate chase scenes which go on too long.I did enjoy Max's scenes.
Continued good news with the ratings. H50 won the time slot with 9.15 million viewers to 9.0 for a Blake Shelton Christmas special on NBC with Castle last at 8.4 without its big lead in from Dancing With The Stars.
Hi: Okay, guess my age will show, but what was Grace doing at the fashion show. Not for little girls. The whole VS part was one big commercial. They may not be jumping the shark yet, but they're getting close. Can't stand the Doris story line, like the actress though. Settle these mommy issues now.

CHICAGO – Governor Rod R. Blagojevich signed two bills today to strengthen Illinois laws against adults who use the Internet to exploit children. Senate Bill 2855 and Senate Bill 2349 both overwhelmingly passed the Illinois Senate and House of Representatives late this summer. "We teach our children to stay away from strangers. But online the difference between an e-buddy and a stranger can be confusing, and our kids can be tricked. I am proud to sign these laws increasing protections for our children and creating stricter penalties for predators that are online," Governor Blagojevich said.
Senate Bill 2349, sponsored by Senator A.J. Wilhelmi (D-Crest Hill) and Representative Maria Antonia Berrios (D-Chicago) creates the Illinois Child Online Exploitation Act adding restrictions to prohibit an adult from sending a minor a public transportation ticket for an unlawful purpose prohibit meeting with a minor for an unlawful purpose and prohibit sex offenders from knowingly communicating with a minor via the Internet or through digital media. In addition, Senate Bill 2349 requires computer technicians to report child pornography if they find it while performing their job, tightens definitions on what is considered child pornography and increases the conditions of supervision for sex offenders. "The Internet can be a very scary place for children. In preparing this legislation, I heard horrible stories about adults using email to invite children to come meet them or to obtain child pornography. I thank the Governor and the General Assembly for helping to create the Illinois Child Online Exploitation Act to better protect our children," said Senator Wilhelmi.
"While the Internet has brought new opportunities for communication, it has also brought new opportunities for predators to reach our children. With internet provider's assistance, Illinois will better be able to track sex offenders and keep them away from our children," said Representative Berrios.
The Governor also signed Senate Bill 2855, sponsored by Senator Linda Holmes (D-Plainfield) and Representative Sidney H. Mathias (R-Arlington Heights), which stiffens penalties on adults who communicate online with minors with the intent to harm or solicit sexual activity. Under this new law, if an adult uses the Internet to communicate with a child under 18 for sexual or detrimental purposes, they can be charged with a Class 4 felony (1-3 yrs. prison). This includes attempts to use the Internet to pursue sexual advances, sexual contact, bodily harm, sexual exploitation, indecent solicitation, solicitation of a sexual act, solicitation of a juvenile prostitute, pimping, child pornography and sexual assault.
"I am proud to be the sponsor of legislation that will impose harsher penalties on adults who use the Internet as a weapon against children. It is time that we crack down on adults who visit sites like Facebook and MySpace in order to bully children. I will continue to work to make our state a safer place for our children," said Senator Holmes.
"As a father and a grandfather, I understand the importance of constantly protecting young children from the possibility of harm. I am proud to be a part of passing this important legislation which is aimed at ensuring that adults who harass children on line will not go unpunished. We must continue to do all we can to ensure that the tool of the internet is used appropriately," said Representative Mathias.
In 2006, Governor Blagojevich established the Internet Crimes Unit (ICU) which has received 150 complaints of child victimization since its inception. This is a unique enforcement group capable of educating the public, gathering information from the private sector, coordinating investigations with other law enforcement agencies, researching crime, proactively searching the Web for criminal activity, and performing forensic work to further investigative efforts and assist prosecutors in jailing offenders. "Protecting our youth is a priority of the Illinois State Police and I applaud Governor Blagojevich for signing these bills into law today," said Director Larry Trent. "Our children will now have additional protection from on line predators who will face harsher penalties for their actions."
The ICU serves as a point of contact for the general public, schools and the law enforcement community for all concerns regarding Internet safety and crimes like identity theft, financial fraud and terrorism. The unit also serves as the initial point of contact for citizen inquiries. For more information on the Internet Crimes Unit, visit: www.isp.state.il.us/icu.

Marijuana legalization has become one of the hottest topics in politics. With the economic meltdown of 2008/2009 our states and government should legalize marijuana, thus ending a large potion of the failed drug war and begin to tax marijuana to the tune of billions of dollars a year. When our website came to Twitter, we quickly noticed 1000's of pro-marijuana accounts attempting to spread news of legalization. This is a great thing for the movement and we support each of them. The problem is that having 5,000 accounts with 1,000 followers isn't going to get the message across as well as can with a single million follower account. So we set out with this lofty goal in mind: To recruit 1,000,000 Tweeple who support legalization and link them all together in one powerful voice that the internet and media simply can not avoid. This year alone, over 1,000,000 U.S. citizens will be arrested for using, seling, or buying cannabis. Of all drug related arrests over 50% are from marijuana and over 60%+ of those are citizens under the age of 30. It's time to quit putting our youth in jail for something so simple. A typical marijuana charge can result in jail time, thousands of dollars in fees, fines, and court costs. We live in a free country and can do better than this. Remember, a follow is your vote. Sincerely. @PotLegalization

Videogaming's premier adventure series finally returns to PS2 and the result is, quite frankly, one of the best adventures ever to hit the machine.
Final Fantasy XII combines mindmeltingly good graphics with near perfect gameplay mechanics and an absorbing, enjoyable storyline. It's a glorious game that stands alone amongst today's PS2 releases in being created with no compromises - everything about it is fully fleshed out, coherent, totally playable and completely sublime.
Set in the world of Ivalice, FFXII tells the story of the kingdom of Dalmasca, annexed by the Rome-like imperial power of Archadia. The game begins with a young thief, Vaan, seeking to liberate Dalmascian relics from a nearby palace - a course of action that brings him into contact with the insurgency, bent on liberating the realm from its oppressive masters.
In terms of actual gameplay, the adventuring elements are not far removed from previous FF epics - it's still essentially a case of moving from location to location, accomplishing tasks, finding items, and talking to key people in order to further the storyline.
Combat however, is pretty much allnew, with just a passing nod to the gameplay system used in the online FFXI. It's still turn-based, but with a realtime spin - your characters move at will, but each has a certain 'charge time' during which they cannot attack. Charge times differ, of course, and with multiple party members in your group and differing amounts of enemies, keeping track can be tough. This is where 'gambits' come in - a brilliant gameplay addition that sets rules for your characters to follow when they act autonomously during combat. For example, you can set a rule whereby a healing spell is cast when any character gets below 50 per cent health.
Or you can specify another gambit which concentrates all attacks on your character's choice of target. Later on in the game you'll have access to up to 12 gambits per character, with different gambit options unlocked as you progress through the game.
The best thing about Final Fantasy XII is the composition of the story and the way the lead characters all interact together. The plot itself brings all of the key players together in the first few hours of gameplay and gradually builds their stories, drawing the player in and building a coherent, intelligent storyline.
Square-Enix is at the top of its game here in that everything combines to drive the story onwards. The world of Ivalice feels believable due to the incredible detail in the graphics and the diversity in the non-player characters. All the main protagonists are deep and rounded, thanks to the wonderful graphics, animation, excellent dialogue and exceptional voice-work.
In short, it's hard to find fault with a game as wonderfully designed and executed as this. It's an example of master storytellers at the height of their powers, and despite the shadow of its illustrious heritage, Final Fantasy XII is by far and away the best game in the series yet.
So good, it manages to turn the heads of people who have never, ever visited Games Workshop.
- Deep, rich storyline
- Some of the best visuals on PS2
- Brilliant combat system
- All-new - not just a sequel

Prices for light, sweet crude oil fell modestly on the New York market Apr. 15 while gasoline futures reached their highest level since Aug. 29, 2013, pending the release of a weekly US government report on oil and product inventories.
Gasoline inventories have dropped for 8 consecutive weeks, the US Energy Information Administration reported.
US commercial crude oil inventories, excluding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, increased 10 million bbl as of Apr. 11 from Apr. 4, EIA said. With an Apr. 11 estimated total of 394.1 million bbl, crude oil inventories are above the average range for this time of year.
Meanwhile, Brent crude oil prices fell during Apr. 15 trading on the London market, and analysts attributed the drop to easing worries about possible supply disruptions because US, European, Russia, and Ukraine representatives were scheduled to meet in Geneva starting Apr. 16.
The Ukraine military fired shots in the government's effort against pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine on Apr. 15 to keep an armed mob from entering a military air base, but the military reportedly had not engaged with the rebels or entered any occupied government buildings.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said any use of force by Ukraine against protesters could derail diplomatic talks.
US gasoline supply drops
Total motor gasoline inventories decreased 200,000 bbl for the week ended Apr. 11, which EIA said was near the lower limit of the average range. Finished gasoline inventories decreased while blending components inventories increased.
Distillate fuel inventories decreased 1.3 million bbl, which is below the lower limit of the average range for this time of year. Propane-propylene inventories rose 800,000 bbl, which is near the lower limit of the average range, EIA said.
US refinery inputs averaged over 15.6 million b/d day during the week ended Apr. 11, which was 276,000 b/d more than the previous week's average. Refineries operated at 88.8% of capacity last week. Gasoline production decreased, averaging over 8.9 million b/d for the week ended Apr. 11. Distillate fuel production increased, averaging 4.9 million b/d.
US crude oil imports averaged 8.3 million b/d, up 959,000 b/d from the previous week. Over the last 4 weeks, crude oil imports averaged 7.5 million b/d. Total motor gasoline imports, including both finished gasoline and gasoline blending components, last week averaged 532,000 b/d. Distillate fuel imports averaged 258,000 b/d.
Energy prices
The New York Mercantile Exchange May crude oil contract price was down 30¢ on Apr. 15, closing at $103.75/bbl. The June contract declined 21¢ to $103/bbl.
Heating oil for May delivery edged up 0.79¢ to a rounded $2.99/gal. Reformulated gasoline stock for oxygenate blending for May delivery was up only 0.37¢ to a rounded $3.04/gal.
The May natural gas contract also edged up less than a penny to a rounded $4.57/MMbtu.
In London, the May ICE contract for Brent crude delivery declined 33¢, closing at $108.74/bbl. The June contract also closed at $109.36/bbl, increasing 29¢. The ICE gas oil contract for May increased $7.75 to $917.75/tonne.
The Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries reported its basket of 12 benchmark crudes for Apr. 15 was $105.21/bbl, a gain of 40¢.

Fighting against climate change
Safran focuses on two main areas to limit the emissions of greenhouse gases that are largely responsible for climate change: product design and our production facilities.
The European Union, including France, has pledged to reduce emissions by 20 to 30% by 2020, and by 50% by 2050 - an objective set by the Advisory Conseil for Aviation Research and Innovation in Europe (ACARE). The United States recently announced a climate and energy bill that would reduce these emissions by 20% by 2020, and by up to 83% in 2050, versus 2005.
Like any industrial enterprise, Safran has to meet a dual challenge: on one hand, address climate change and the increasing scarcity of fossil-based energy sources, and on the other reduce its emissions by integrating all aspects of the production and operation of its products.
Air travel accounts for about 2% of all carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from human activities, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Research & Technology efforts at Safran are largely focused on designing less fuel-hungry engines and lighter aircraft systems and equipment, in order to decrease fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, while also working on renewable fuels, such as biofuels. This research aims to identify technological breakthroughs that will enable our products to meet the environmental challenge.More

Out with the old and in with the new for this holiday, as Ashton Kutcher has a free and clear shot now to marry his love Mila Kunis, who he starred with years ago on "That 70s Show."
Kutcher is finally divorced from Demi Moore, in a divorce that lasted way too long over issues of money.
"Ashton and Mila have talked about getting engaged and married for quite a while," a source close to the "Two and a Half Men" actor told People.
No word yet on Kutcher proposing this holiday season, but the couple no longer has the roadblock of Kutcher's divorce to deal with.
"Ashton's been waiting for his divorce to be over for a long time," the source added. "He was annoyed it took so long. It was hanging over his head."

No ban on Skype in UAE: TRA
etisalat and du should apply for permission to deliver service, says telecoms authority
i think that the telecom companies must start moving over to internet adoption in the sense, they must lower the rates for data and make it free for user to choose any method to communicate. that is the future. where calling doesnt depend on the geographical location. telecom authorities must now switch over almost completely to internet companies. That will be freedom. and will help Etisalat and DU due to high penetration rates of smartphones.
Neeraj Thakur, Abu Dhabi, India
there will be no additional video call charge while using 3g or any data packages?
Anonymous, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
Well the skype ban has been lifted very recently actually that was there. So now you can use it for audio & video conferencing... but for calling to Phones whether LL or Mob is still under restrictions. So i inform everybody to be careful before buying the skype credits & any subscriptions.....
Anonymous, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates
It is in the best interests to legalize Skype as many people already use it and once Microsoft makes Skype an integral member of its offerings - it will be even more difficult to control it. Already many many people in UAE are using Viber ( through Iphone using VoIP technology).
Ali, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
I can't call to land phones and mobile phones from Skype. I try it from android & PC.
Rajesh, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
If 'there is no ban on Skype' in UAE, why are people unable to install it here?
R.Vasudevan, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
If you think about it, all outside companies need to have a 100% locally owned agent to sell to clients inside Dubai. This is for the client's protection. If the local agent is Du or Etisalat, then if skype decides to close the service and deny refunds of accounts, the Dubai clients can place a case against the agent which is du or Etisalat to refund completely the balance remaining in their skype account. TRA had the same policy for many years. Just that the people never requested the local agent to contact skype to have a responsibility sharing agreement. Good work protecting the Dubai clients TRA and DED. Users of skype can suggest to the local agent to take like 5% or whatever commission to handle the responsibility of providing the service. Also du and etisalat can request skype to deposit all the money held in accounts of skype (not used) in case skype decides to close down and the customers have to be refunded by etisalat and du. If skype refuses to protect the Dubai clients, then any voip company was and still is allowed to deal with Du and etisalat as a provider. That shall get them a lot of minutes. As long as they can guarantee the refunds due in case they decide to close. Regards, Khawar Nehal
Khawar Nehal, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
If we use skype in our etisalat postpaid mobile having data subscription will there be an additional videocall charge as 3g data?
RINESH ANDREWS, DUBAI, United Arab Emirates
Dubai: There is no ban on Skype services in the UAE, the head of the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) said on Tuesday.
Mohammad Al Ganem, head of TRA, told Gulf News that there is no restriction in Skype services in the UAE, but the service must be provided by one of the telecom service providers in the UAE and not through a third party.
Al Ganem said that telecom providers etisalat and du should apply for permission to deliver the service.
When an official request has been submitted to the TRA, the authority will then apply rules if there is a third party to facilitate the service.
Ali Al Ahmad, etisalat Chief Corporate Communication Officer, said the regulation on VoIP has not changed in the UAE.
Al Ahmad said there are international companies that want to introduce Skype directly in the UAE market, but if a third company wants to enter the market, they must contact the two main telecom providers and present a proposal, which will be studied and presented to the TRA.

According to a report from Reuters, lithium ion battery maker A123 Systems is dangerously low on cash. The company filed a report just before the weekend with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission indicating that it "expects to have approximately four to five months of cash to support its ongoing operations."
The company says it spends between $18 million and $25 million per month in normal operational costs, and had about $68 million on hand at the end of May. In the same filing, A123 outlined plans to raise $39 million in an effort to remain afloat while it attempts to locate new business and shore up its finances. The company expects to turn a positive cash flow on a quarterly basis sometime in 2013.
A123 has major contracts with automakers such as Fisker and BMW, the former of which was involved in a massive battery recall that is said to have cost A123 nearly $67 million. The upcoming Chevy Spark EV is also slated to use batteries from A123, assuming the company is able to survive its recent monetary blows.

Would you forgive her and become her loving sister? Update in blue
I have a story to tell and then I want to ask a question. Maybe I'll get some honest answers.
When my 11 yr old was 8 months old we ended up moving in with my father and stepmother. At the time they had my stepsister living there with her children also. My stepsister is crazy....mean crazy.
As we were living there we found out that Brian (my son) was/is allergic to powdered laundry soap. We bought him dreft and kept his stuff (sheets,clothes,bibs....etc) away from everyone else's. He is also asthmatic so we really don't want to mess around with his allergies. So,Joy (evil stepsister) gets mad at me for some stupid sh!t and instead of talking to me. She starts pulling mean little pranks. She "mistakenly" cut all the sleeves off my hubby's uniforms...etc.
And one night Brian stays awake ALL night. He wouldn't eat, he wasn't cold he wasn't hot. I changed his bottom like 7 times...thought maybe he's teething;tried motrin. Nothing worked. I sat in a rocking chair and held my crying son all night. At around 7:00a.m. I got up fed my oldest....and went to change my baby,again. His butt was raw and blistered,bleeding. I couldn't believe it...I'd changed him just 2 hours before. He hadn't even been wet. We went ahead and took him to the ER and found out he was having such a bad allergic reaction to something that it gave him a yeast infection!! The doctor gave us a t-shirt from the hospital and a clean pampers...we didn't know at this point what had caused it. As soon as they started the meds and changed his clothes he settled down and fell asleep. The doctor told us to take him home and re-wash his clothes/sheets just in case.
By now maybe you guessed what happened? My dumb-ass stepsister dumped powdered tide into Brian's dreft. And I'd changed him so many times that I'd managed to put him in something washed with it.We moved out the next day and I will NEVER forgive that bitch for hurting my son!!
My stepmom says that bygones should be bygones.And I should forgive and forget. I can't. My question is:
Who's wrong? Should I try to forgive crazy bitch or should I tell my stepmom I'm sorry but hell no?!
DAMN WITCH!!!!!!!! She's not even remotely sorry.
Thought for the day :
Women are angels and when someone breaks our wings we simply continue to fly...on a broomstick. We are flexible that way.
Like I said before I do NOT hate her...I do NOT like her,either. Just as long as she stays away from my family I am indifferent to her. We will be fine unless my Sm pushes the issue.
We see her maybe once every 2 years during Christmas and we are all civil.No loud arguments or anything else.This is about as "far" as our relationship will ever get---- I HATE what she did to my son (notice I said I hate what she did...I did not say I hate her)
Quoting HisMommy4Ever:
Fuck no. I would not forgive her. That's your little baby....wtf is wrong with people?! My MIL never did anything close to hurting my son but she's done some pretty fucked up shit to ME. And I will NEVER forgive her. EVER! And neither should you. Maybe just don't hold so much anger inside you cuz she's not in your life anymore but no...don't let her back in your life....
If evolution really works, how come mothers only have two hands?

Qualify as a Conductor
To qualify as a conductor requires a three-year full time undergraduate course.
Since September 2012 the BA Hons Conductive Education course has run as a part of the Conductive College training portfolio through Birmingham City University. Students interested in enrolling on this course would need to apply through BCU following the UCAS procedures.
The course is based on acquiring the skills for a vocational profession. Qualified Conductor Status (QCS) is a worldwide recognised professional qualification and enables graduates to be employed as a conductor. In addition to QCS successful graduates will also receive an honours degree in Conductive Education.
Alongside formal teaching in the philosophy and practice of Conductive Education, students will also learn about neurological conditions such as; cerebral palsy, stroke, Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis. To enhance this learning all students complete weekly practice in conductive groups alongside the professional practitioners delivering the programmes (conductors). Students will gain a broad range of experience with children and adults and are able to specialise in one age group from the middle of the second year of study.
Entry requirements (UK students): 180 UCAS points from A level or equivalent qualifications; or Access to HE Diploma with 2 Merits at Level 3 including equivalent of GCSE English at grade C or above. Other qualifications or relevant experience will also be taken into account.
International students: due to recent changes at the UK Border Agency we were not able to take Non EU at the moment. However we are still trying to find a way to make this option available going forward.
All applicants will be required to undertake a Disclosure and Barring Service check and will be invited for an interview. Acceptance onto the course will only be confirmed following the interview process.
Please contact Marie McCann – Training Manager on 0121 442 5556 or by email email@example.com for more information on the application process

In Benin, women cotton growers embrace organic agriculture
Each year, on average, Benin produces 220,000 tons of cotton, representing 45 percent of its fiscal income and 13 percent of its Gross National Product. Yet, in the northern municipality of Banikoara - Benin's top cotton-producing region - the excessive use of chemical fertilizers by some cotton growers has contributed to the soil's increased infertility. Other growers have insufficient income to buy seeds and fertilizers.
Mama Sambo Bapa, for her part, produces high quality organic cotton which allows her to both restore degraded soil without having to endure long periods of fallowness, and be financially self-sufficient.
- Cotton is the main agricultural export in Benin. Farmers in Banikoara use approximately 80 percent of the chemical fertilizers and 90 percent of the imported pesticides in the country.
- The cost of normal cotton production is five times higher than that of organic cotton.
- In 3 years, the project has allowed the restoration of 250 hectares of degraded land and close to 1000 cotton growers saw their yield triple.
"As a woman, I was never able to work more than 0.25 hectares, but thanks to the loans to buy seeds and labor, I was able to sow half a hectare, which allowed me to earn US$205 in a single harvest," she says.
The promotion of organic cotton cultivation is an initiative of the Association of Courageous and Active Women (AFVA), a woman's NGO that works in the villages of Banikoara, where agricultural output has been steadily decreasing. In 2010, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) gave a helping hand to the initiative and provided more than US$30,000 in technical support and financing through the Global Environment Facility Small Grants Programme.
This contribution allowed women cotton growers to increase their agricultural output and boost their incomes. To protect their fields against pests, the women use a bio-pesticide, which they prepare themselves. They also fertilize the soil organically, helping maintain the soil.
In three years, close to 1000 organic farmers in Banikoara saw their cotton yield triple and 250 hectares of degraded land restored. Additionally, the women have received training in the diversifying their agricultural activities, transforming their products and improving their packaging.
With the revenues Mama Sambo Bapa earned selling cotton, she was able to invest in a small business selling cheese and soy. "I bought livestock, and the animals represent my savings," she explains.
The success of the women supported by AFVA is creating a lot of interest in neighboring municipalities, which conducted exchange visits to learn from this experience.

One of the leading hotels in Kabul, the Afghan capital, is under attack by suspected Taliban fighters, local police sources say.
They told Al Jazeera that six suicide bombers entered the hotel late on Tuesday, after a firefight outside. At least one of them detonated himself, they said.
Guests were being evacuated, but some were still inside, police said.
Bystanders were ordered to lay down on the ground for their own safety as the Afghan police battled the attackers with machine guns and other weapons.
The Associated Press reported that rocket-propelled grenades and tracer rounds could be seen and heard being fired at the site. AP reporters at the scene said they could hear bursts of gunfire and shooting from the roof of the five-storey building.
"It's an attack on the Intercontinental Hotel. There are several gunmen shooting," Mohammad Zahir, the criminal investigations chief, said. He said "a number" of police officers had been wounded.
Samoonyar Mohammad Zaman, a security officer for interior ministry, said the attackers were armed with machine guns, anti-aircraft weapons, rocket-propelled grenades and hand grenades. The were using grenadelaunchers, he said.
Bette Dam, an independent journalist who was at the scene, told Al Jazeera that gunfire had gone on for "hours after hours", and that she had seen rocket-propelled grenades being fired.
She reported hearing two loud explosions at the site, though it was unclear what caused them. She described the attack as "very coordinated".
The Afghan interior ministry says that all of the "suicide bombers" have either detonated themselves or been killed.
"There are foreign and Afghan guests staying at the hotel,'' Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesman, said. "We have reports that they are safe in their rooms, but still there is shooting.''
Zaman said there were 60-70 guests at the hotel, and that he had seen the bodies of two suicide bombers at the main entrance to the hotel.
Seddiqi said that two gunmen continued to fire from the roof of the hotel.
Taliban claim
A guest said he heard gunfire echoing throughout the building. There was no immediate word on casualties.
Zabiullah Mujahid, a Taliban spokesman, claimed responsibility for the attack in a telephone call to the press.
Al Jazeera's Bernard Smith, reporting from Kabul, said the Interncontinental is a very "well-defended hotel".
"This happens - possibly coincidentally - as a two-day conference here in Kabul is due to start tomorrow, with people coming from across Afghanistan to talk about the transition - the taking over of the security responsibility by the Afghan security forces," he said.
"People who are going to that conference are staying at the hotel."
Streets leading to the Intercontinental were blocked. The hotel is situated on a hill overlooking Kabul. The scene was dark as electricity was out at the hotel.
Jawid, a guest at the hotel, said he jumped out of a first-storey window to flee the shooting.
"I was running with my family," he said. "There was shooting. The restaurant was full with guests."
ISAF, the US-led military force in the country, said the Afghan interior ministry had not requested any assistance from foreign forces in the wake of the attack.
Attacks in Kabul have been relatively rare, although violence has increased since the May 2 killing of Osama bin Laden, the al-Qaeda chief, in a US raid in Pakistan and the start of the Taliban's annual spring offensive.
On 18 June, armed men wearing Afghan army uniforms stormed a police station near the presidential palace and opened fire on officers, killing nine.
Late last month, a suicide bomber wearing an Afghan police uniform infiltrated the main Afghan military hospital, killing six medical students.
A month before that, a suicide attacker in an army uniform sneaked past security at the Afghan defence ministry, killing three people.

Ryan Painter scored four goals as the Ottawa Rebel edged the New Jersey storm 12-10 in front of 6,535 at the Continental Arena Saturday night. The win improves the Rebel's record to 3-11, while New Jersey drops to 3-11.
Both teams matched up evenly, and opened up the game by trading off goals. However, the visiting Rebel caught fire in the second quarter, scoring five straight goals at the end of the first half, and taking an 8-6 lead into halftime.
The Storm made the necessary defensive adjustments in the second half, and scored three straight goals to take a 9-8 lead. Goaltender Matt Roik also stepped up and made several outstanding saves to hold Ottawa scoreless in the 3rd quarter. Unfortunately for the Storm, their momentum faded in the 4th quarter, as they could only manage to tally one more goal, while the Rebel was able to find the net four more times to take the lead for good.
DJ Serr and Dan Marohl also chipped in for the Rebel, each scoring two goals, while goaltender Matt Disher stopped 41 Storm shots. For the Storm, forward Cam Bomberry added to his team leading totals by scoring a hat trick. Rookie forward Scott Stewart also played well and registered two goals for the game. In the net, Matt Roik provided another impressive performance, making 30 saves in the losing effort.

In February 2011, mass protests in Egypt unexpectedly toppled long-time ruler Hosni Mubarak. The nine months since Mubarak's resignation have been almost as eventful.
It has been a period of both hope and despair. Sectarian clashes and violent protests threatened to derail Egypt's journey from dictatorship to democracy.
But there have also been moments of overwhelming euphoria, particularly when Mubarak and his sons found themselves on the dock facing trial in a Cairo court.
The trial was proof enough that the country had changed since the revolution. The following images chart the process of transformation, with its pitfalls and its indicators of progress.

In South Dakota, too much water
WAUBAY, S.D. — Standing along a South Dakota waterfront shored up with boulders, Kevin Jens peered at the placid lake and reminisced about a road that led to a popular place to fish and picnic nearby but now lies underwater after being swallowed up by rising waters.
"There's an island under there," the mayor of Waubay said, breaking into an uncomfortable laugh and pointing to a grove of dead trees jutting from the water about a mile away.
