Something Marc Geiger said on This Week In Music last week rang a bell—he forecast two billion paying subscriber accounts for some kind of music streaming at some time in the future (you'll find it around 38:00 on the webcast).
If it had been Daniel Ek (Spotify) I wouldn't think twice but everything else Marc Geiger said made a lot of sense. He seems to come at the music business from a similar angle to me—it's all about artists and fans. To be fair neither Geiger nor Ian Rogers suggested this was happening next week, and they did say this kind of scale might come from new music service front-ends like Turntable.fm rather than simple playlist radio.
Now, we know the music industry has failed to do anything like that scale and they've been trying (sort of) for over a decade. Paying subscriber accounts are still single figure millions and as far as I know none of these businesses have ever made a profit. But that's not what Geiger was talking about—he said once the music was available some kind of consumer layer would transform the whole game.
And this is the bell that rang. In 2006 I hung-out on an invitation-only music industry forum where they discussed mobile music among other things (as Ian Rogers mentioned this debate was common at that time). I thought there was no way to merge the user interface of a cellphone and an iPod, I just couldn't see it. One of the members of that forum who always made a lot of sense and clearly knew a thing or two told me to wait a year and it would all be clear. He must have seen an early iPhone and as we now know he was right.
So, here we are again—or are we? A music industry bloke who makes enormous sense just drops into the conversation "two billion paying music subscribers" like your best friend might say he's built a spaceship. WTF?
He may be right but there is a mountain to climb. Any time this decade two billion accounts would be around a quarter of the world population and one of my touchstones for music take-up is that only 40% of the UK population ever paid for music. I'm not talking about Internet piracy, this was always the rule of thumb for CD buyers. So his two billion now looks like at least half of all music buyers.
Then there's another fly in the ointment. On average those CD buyers never spent anything like £120 a year, the current going rate for a mobile Spotify account. The average consumer spend on recorded music in 2002/3 (a record year as I say elsewhere and often) was around £50. Which means Marc Geiger's music subscribers would spend all their money on the sons of Spotify and buy no additional recorded music at all.
In fact the ointment is full of flies: would people use just one service? would these services have all the music they want (they don't right now)? would subscribers be happy to pay forever and keep nothing? how about those pirate economies (Russia, China, …) where the average spend on recorded music is zero? And so on…
Sadly I think that's a mountain (of fly infested ointment perhaps) we will never get over. Geiger hopes these new web services will earn the music industry ten times what it ever earned before—which translates to our UK record buyers spending £500 a year instead of £50. Not in my lifetime. But I do remember saying something similar about the iPhone.
It's an interesting idea. If the sons of Spotify really did that much business I'd look much more favourably on music subscriptions and I've been wondering how that kind of future might work. I just can't see it though.
Edit: This is an interesting perspective from Ian Rogers at DMFW just the previous week I think. It seems there are not yet 2 billion web users so Marc Geiger's forecast is even further ahead of its time than I thought.

Disturbed by the Sect's nightmarish practice of harvesting babies, Riese decides to stay in Helmkin to uncover the mystery and put an end to the practice - even though the town is a veritable deathtrap for her now that the Doctor knows she's of royal blood.
The Doctor, meanwhile, has a surprise visit from Herrick, who has the scent of Riese on his tongue and won't let go the trail. Appearing from the shadows, Herrick interrogates the doctor about Riese - what she knows, what she saw - and out of self-preservation, the doctor tries to limit the information he gives Herrick. Herrick is too powerful, however, and learns that not only did Riese see the Sect mark on the doctor's arm, but also that she saw the fields of babies that the Sect was harvesting. Knowing Riese's inner workings, Herrick understands that this sight is sure to have made Riese want to stay and help.
The outlawed princess, meanwhile, is seeking out Hannah, the distraught mother from earlier that day. Hannah begs Riese to help, and Riese, though feeling daunted, promises to do all she can. Riese slips into the night and finds the warehouse where the babies - rows upon rows stacked in crates - are being kept. Though outraged, she's at a loss for how to put a stop to this madness.
And on the other side of the kingdom, Rand and his resistance are battling Amara and her forces with all their might. But, with no connection to Riese - his people's rightful leader and one true hope - and dwindling resources, Rand knows his chances of winning the war are getting slimmer and slimmer. He has to win this fight, soon - or not at all.
See how the cast and crew of Riese prepared for their action-packed fight scenes.
Journey through a dying kingdom with the enigmatic Riese in this online series.
Go behind the scenes of Riese and learn more about the mysterious Sect. Featuring Smallville's Allison Mack.

Innovation. Combining decades of experience in the furniture business with an eagerness to evolve and surprise.
Innovation was founded in 1971 in Denmark by Flemming Hoejfeldt, who is still the owner and Chairman of the company. Inspired by his personal experience with the first production communities of the flower power generation, he started the company with a production of beanbags. For 15 years Innovation functioned as a supplier for the furniture industry, but at the end of the 80's the desire to produce its own designs took over.
The company began its new direction with a competition among design students at the School of Architecture in Aarhus and ended up with a concept for contemporary sofa sleepers. As the concept grew, Innovation was rewarded with several design prizes and engaged in a very fruitful cooperation with the famous Danish designer, Verner Panton.
Innovation USA was founded in 1991 and today is an international furniture enterprise with production facilities in Denmark and China. Their designs are available around the globe.
As an international company, Innovation considers it their duty to contribute to better working conditions and a cleaner environment for all. Innovation has a certified environmental profile and all recyclable waste, like cardboard, plastic, iron and metal, is separated and used in other productions. Residual, combustible waste is incinerated in low-pollution plants. Packaging is reduced to the minimum needed for safe transportation. By embracing their environmental responsibility, Innovation designs have a clear vision for the future. Now that's evolved.View other products from Innovation Living

The Magic Castle

|Architectural style(s)
|Reference no.
The Magic Castle, located at 7001 Franklin Avenue in the Hollywood district of Los Angeles, California, is a nightclub for magicians and magic enthusiasts, as well as the clubhouse for the Academy of Magical Arts. It bills itself as "the most unusual private club in the world."
The Magic Castle is a performance venue, restaurant and private club. A typical evening features several magic and sometimes variety arts performances, as well as a full service dining room and several bars in a nightclub atmosphere. A dress code of formal party attire is strictly enforced.[2] Entry is only allowed to members and their guests.
The lobby of the Castle has no visible doors to the interior, and visitors must say a secret phrase to a sculpture of an owl to gain access, exposing the entrance to the club. Nightly, five different magic performances are showcased in three different theaters, with additional performances added in the Peller as well as Hat and Hare Pub and W.C. Fields Bar on weekends. Magicians perform in several different theaters, including the intimate Close-Up Gallery, a larger Parlour of Prestidigitation, and stage illusions in the Palace of Mystery. Informal performance areas near the five bars give magician members the space for impromptu magic for guests and other patrons. In the music room, a piano is played by invisible "Irma," the Castle's "resident ghost," who takes musical requests.
In addition, magician Misty Lee, the first female staff medium at the Magic Castle, regularly performs Houdini Séances at the castle.
Those under 21 years of age are not permitted during evening performances. However, on Saturdays and Sundays, the Castle hosts an "all-ages" brunch and performances which are open to members and their guests, including those under the age of 21. During brunch, the Castle's "Junior Members" (ranging in age from 13 to 20 years old) perform in the Close-Up Gallery.
Magic Castle Junior Group[edit]
The Magic Castle is also known for its Junior Program (the Magic Castle Junior Group). The Junior Group comprises highly skilled young magicians, many of whom have gone on to professional careers in magic. One week a year, billed as "Future Stars Week," performers from the Junior Group are showcased in evening performances in the Castle's showrooms.
The principal building of the Magic Castle is a Chateau-style or Chateauesque mansion built in 1909 by banker, real estate developer and philanthropist, Rollin B. Lane. The house was designed by architects Lyman Farwell and Oliver Dennis[3] and constructed as a near duplicate of the 1897 Kimberly Crest House and Gardens in Redlands, California that the architects had designed over a decade earlier. Ownership of the mansion remained in the Lane family until 1955 when it was sold to Thomas O. Glover, whose family still owns the property. In September 1961, the mansion was leased to Milt Larsen and Bill Larsen, Jr., who began converting it to its present state. The Magic Castle opened for business on January 2, 1963.[4] Over the years several additions have been made to the original structure, allowing for the inclusion of several theaters, bars, a library and other meeting spaces. The Magic Castle was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1989.[1]
One of the Castle's most famous members was the late Dai Vernon, an expert in sleight of hand, who often sat in the bar area entertaining and teaching. Vernon was the Magician-in-Residence at the Castle for many years, up until his death in 1992.[5]
Other famous magicians who have been regular performers at the Magic Castle include Mark Wilson, Jay Ose, Senator Crandall, Johnny Platt, Kuda Bux, and Billy McComb. Many "celebrity magic hobbyists" have also performed at the Magic Castle, including Cary Grant, Steve Martin, Johnny Carson, Neil Patrick Harris and Jason Alexander of Seinfeld.
On October 31, 2011, the Magic Castle suffered damage from a fire[6] that broke out in the attic. Significant interior refurbishing was necessary as a result of extensive water damage caused by fighting the fire. The Magic Castle was reopened in its entirety in February 2012.
Academy of Magical Arts[edit]
|The Magic Castle in Hollywood, California
|Erika Larsen
The Academy of Magical Arts is a non profit mutual benefit corporation organized and devoted to the promotion and development of the art of magic.
Although begun in 1952 as a loose association of magicians by William Larsen, Sr., the Academy was incorporated and its organization formalized in 1962 by his son, William Larsen, Jr., who together with Milt Larsen, another son of William Larsen, Sr., built the Academy into an international organization whose headquarters has been the Magic Castle since 1963.[7]
History of the Academy of Magical Arts[edit]
The Academy of Magical Arts was created by William Larsen and announced in the April, 1952 issue of his independent magazine of magic, Genii; of which all the subscribers were automatically accorded membership. "Academy Awards" were presented by Larsen over the next several months for outstanding contributions in various areas of the magic arts. William Larsen, Sr. died at the age of 48 in July, 1953. His wife and eldest son, Bill Jr. continued the publication of the magazine but the "Academy" lacked any formal structure and the organization became dormant. In 1962 William Larsen's younger son, Milt, undertook the job of leasing and restoring an ornately styled, 1909 mansion in Hollywood, California and turning it into a meeting place for magicians which he called the "Magic Castle." As part of their plan to revive the Academy and locate it in the "Magic Castle" William Larsen, Jr. filed articles of incorporation and created a nonprofit corporation, in 1962. The Magic Castle opened its doors on January 2, 1963 as the home of the Academy of Magical Arts, Inc. From an initial membership of 50, the Academy has grown to a worldwide membership of over 5,000 today.
Becoming a member[edit]
There are nearly 2,500 magician members in the Academy today. To become a regular member one must first be actively practicing or involved with magic as a career or hobby and audition before the Academy's membership reviewing committee. Associate members are people who love magic and the academy. Most of the members are in the entertainment business, law, finance, and medical fields. Some of these associate members are friends of magician members who enjoy the atmosphere of the Academy. Associate Member applications must be approved by the Board of Directors. Honorary members and VIP members are presented by the Board of Directors to magicians, celebrities and individual members of the Academy who have contributed to the advancement of the art of magic. It is also possible to become a junior magician if you are between the age of 13 and 20. Membership in the Junior Group is open to anyone seriously interested in magic and is from 13 to 19 years of age. One may apply if 20 years old, but must be able to be a member in the Group for one full year. These junior magicians are only allowed the limited use of facilities. You must be a talented magician to get accepted through audition.
Taking a class[edit]
To take a class at the Academy of Magic one does not have to become a member. The Basic Magic class is designed to provide the skills and knowledge necessary to perform basic magic.[8] The class combines instructor presentation, step-by-step explanation, hands-on instruction, group practice sessions and individual performance. Classes are held one night per week for six weeks, from 7:45 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. During the six weeks the students receive a temporary six week pass that grants the privileges of a regular member, excluding magician member's lectures. They are allowed to bring four friends to stay at the castle, but not to the classes. Men must wear a coat and tie and women must wear a dress or skirt; no casual wear is permitted.
Performing awards are given in different categories at the annual "Academy of the Magical Arts Awards" event. Nominees for the performing awards are chosen from among that year's performers at The Magic Castle.
Other awards include Literary and Life Fellowships awards which go to individuals who, in the view of the Academy, have made significant contributions to the field of magic.
Each year the Academy of Magical Arts awards:
- Stage Magician of the Year
- Parlour Magician of the Year
- Close-Up Magician of the Year
- Lecturer of the Year
The Academy of Magical Arts also presents:
- Master's Fellowship
- Performing Fellowship in Close-Up Magic
- Performing Fellowship in Stage Magic
- Creative Fellowship
- Literary Fellowship
- Junior Achievement Award
Events, television and movies[edit]
- The annual Soapy Smith night, in honor of the famed confidence man, takes place July 8. Proceeds go to the Dai Vernon Fund.

Population of genetically identical cells or organisms that originated from a single cell or organism by nonsexual methods. Cloning is fundamental to most living things, since the body cells of plants and animals are clones that come ultimately from a single fertilized egg. More narrowly, the term refers to an individual organism grown from a single body cell of its parent that is genetically identical to the parent. Cloning has been commonplace in horticulture since ancient times; many varieties of plants are cloned simply by obtaining cuttings of their leaves, stems, or roots and replanting them. The body cells of adult humans and other animals are routinely cultured as clones in the laboratory. Entire frogs and mice have been successfully cloned from embryonic cells. British researchers led by Ian Wilmut achieved the first success in cloning an adult mammal in 1996. Having already produced clones from sheep embryos, they were able to produce a lamb (Dolly) using DNA from an adult sheep. The practical applications of cloning are economically promising but philosophically unsettling.

President and Editor-in-Chief | 5280 Publishing, Inc.
For most of 5280's 20-year history, I've stubbornly insisted that I'd rather do one thing really well than a bunch of things half-assed. We've focused almost exclusively on crafting a single magazine that would serve Denver with high-quality journalism and a strong commitment to our community.
We didn't waste resources on the many digital dead-ends that have distracted publishers over the past two decades. Instead, by remaining focused on our core product, we've managed to largely avoid the declines seen elsewhere in print publishing. Our newsstand sales have grown by 22 percent while our paid subscriber base has nearly tripled over the past 10 years. Best of all, ad revenue has returned to pre-recession levels. We'll know in a few weeks if 2013 ends up being our biggest year ever.
Focus needn't mean tunnel vision though. We've selectively expanded our horizons in recent years and will continue to do so in 2014. Each new venture truly amplifies our core mission, and only when I'm convinced it meets our high standards of quality.
Not surprisingly, we started with print, extending the 5280 brand with ancillary editions covering health, home and travel. Here again, my faith in print's continuing viability has been confirmed: Newsstand sell-throughs for our ancillaries have often exceeded 60 percent with equally impressive ad sales.Â
At the same time, we've begun carefully building a digital audience that now rivals 5280's print readership. Digital obviously lets us talk to our readers more frequently than a monthly magazine schedule allows, but it's also given us a chance to explore new story-telling techniques. In 2014, we'll continue those initiatives, while making significant efforts to monetize that audience, especially through newsletter and directory sales. Â
I can't say for sure where this will lead, but the very best magazines have always been the ones with the clearest vision. And the ones who don't do anything half-assed.

It is so annoying to have a flat tire, a dead battery, or be involved in an accident that require the services of a tow truck. Most of us are not sure of the best towing company to contact. You need to contact the best New Orleans towing company to get you home safe.
But before you chose the first available individual or company to tow your car, give careful consideration to choosing one who will transport your vehicle safely and efficiently to its destination. You want a professional towing service that will treat your vehicle with as much care as you would. When you call for a tow truck, there are some important questions that you should ask before you make an agreement.
First and most important, give the type of vehicle that needs assistance. The company will determine if your vehicle requires a flat bed tow truck or a dolly tow for transport. Price is always a concern. Make sure you understand the charge per tow. Give the location of where you are and where the vehicle is to be taken. Given that you do not want to be stranded, it is important to find out how long it will take the tow truck to reach you.
These suggestions will be helpful in determining the best tow truck service to hire. To get more information about towing companies in New Orleans take a look at: http://www.nowtowing.com/best-new-orleans-towing/

Getting There & Parking
There are 2 accessible parking bays available on a first come first served basis. Other on street parking is available.
Getting a Ticket
For information on purchasing a ticket please visit the Fleetwood Town Website
Spectator Viewing areas
There are 8 accessible bays for wheelchair users in the Highbury stand at pitchside (non segregated, 4 for home fans and four for away fans).
NB: Under existing minimum standards for accessible stadia, the club should have 56 wheelchair spaces (48 home and up to 8 away). 75% of these should be elevated positions and the remaining 25% pitchside.
LPF's view is that many disabled supporters should be able to access general seating areas and only those with specific needs eg those who require extra legroom, or access via aisle seats or who need step free access etc should be allocated seats in the dedicated areas.
Based on the above, the club therefore only meets 14% of the guidance and has a shortfall of 48 wheelchair spaces. They should be working on a plan to rectify this deficit within a reasonable timeframe under the auspices of a full independent Access Audit.
Accessible amenities
There are accessible toilets for both home and away fans. The ticket office is accessible to all fans.

Match: Fleetwood v York City date 16/05/14
Published: 29/5/2014
Four of us decided to have a day in Blackpool as this was an evening match, so we went to the ground, parked the car, street parking only, and then caught the tram into Blackpool. Got day tickets, £4.60. The tram stop was 2 minutes walk from the ground, and trams are wheelchair friendly. Took about 45 minutes to the pier.
I had previously phoned Dave Holloway at Fleetwood and he agreed we could go in the open space by the side of the away fans stand in the corner where the practise goal nets were. There was no problem getting in this time when I explained what Dave had told me.
The teabar was just inside the turnstiles and their meat & potato pies are lovely.
No one brought us carers seats this time. But the view was good, except when an ignorant steward kept standing in front of us, I told my son in the wheelchair to move forward onto the yellow lines so he could see (I know it was wrong) when the steward refused to move. But the steward got rather abusive & demanded that he moved back. This led to a bit of a row, but my son moved back and the steward continued to block our view.
I was hoping that these stewards might have had a bit of training since last time we went, but obviously not.

Match: Fleetwood v York City on 01/02/14
Published: 3/2/2014
I previously bought & paid for our tickets over the phone. There were no car park spaces but the lady on the phone asked me to email Mr Holloway to explain our difficulties, but he never replied.
We had a pre match at the Thornton Lodge at Thornton Cleveley, 5 miles from Fleetwood, 2 meals for a tenner.
We arrived at the ground early & collected our tickets & bought programs from the shop, a small one but accessible.
I asked the car park steward where we had to go & he directed me, but without going through all the gory details, we werent admitted into the ground unless we went down a seriously flooded footpath, must have been 12 inches deep in places, with potholes. there was only a 12 inch gap at the side to walk through, so impossible for an electric wheelchair to go through unless he wanted to flood the battery.
After speaking to possibly 20 steward who all refused us entry I demanded to see someone in charge.
He eventually took us in after 45 minutes of trying. but we were sent to a corner where the training goalposts were & with no cover both wheelchair men and me were exposed to the strong winds & freezing rain. One steward though.did eventually bring me a chair.
There were disabled toilets and an accessible tea bar behind the stand which we bought a meat & potato pie & a proper cup of tea from. though it might have been difficult queueing up in a wheelchair when there were barriers there. Absolutely disgusted with the untrained ignorant stewards & I have written to Fleetwood to tell them so, but again I doubt if there will be any response.

Herb Crusted Prime Rib
No special day here or anything buts it's not often I get to have prime rib.
Was feeling a bit out of sorts earlier today on a personal level but I will say that spending a bit of time in the kitchen doing some prep lifted my spirits. There is something strangely & immensely satisfying about smashing the crap out of a whole bunch of herbs and garlic using a mortar and pestle. Today's crust was made with a lot of savory, thyme, 6 cloves of garlic, some beautiful New Zealand sea salt (thanks Angie!!) , black peppercorns and some canola oil. I pounded my little heart out (seriously I really need to bring the mortar and pestle out more often) and came up with a lovely herb mash.
The prime rib was lovely. I just love the look of raw meat. I love seeing the striations of marbling. Just beautiful.this prime rib weighed approx 6 lbs
On went the slather and into the fridge for a couple of ours.
My children were seriously not impressed at this point. At this point they were giving me the oh my goodness you can't possibly expect us to eat that for dinner tonight looks. Any parent can relate to that.
It was a lovely smelling prime rib and the color was coming along nicely. Off to the kitchen to prep some veggies to accompany our dinner. Had some portobellos with some Wisconsin Parmesan that I picked up on our last travels to the US. Its a nicely aged cheese. Lovely to eat on its own. Not sure I would use it again on the portobellos. Just didn't have enough oomph.
Then one of my all time favorite veggies – asparagus! Love love love asparagus grilled. So do the kids. Ok 2 out of 3 of the kids love it. The other (Chaos causing , tiny terrorist also known as my son Gabe) child has determined it looks too much like a plant. I grated the rind from a really large lemon and sprinkled it on the asparagus as well as a really fragrant lemon olive oil. Salt & pepper was added as well.
The Natives were getting restless at this point and it took everything in me to keep them all (including husband) occupied until the prime rib had rested for enough time.
Overall dinner was lovely. The prime rib was delicious. I love herb crusts on beef.

Woah that looks *very* good! Agree with the mortar/pestle comment…it's a life saver. I even used mine to declump my last sachet of Chicken oxo the other day…and to bruise up some rosemary, of course. Mmm…my mortar smells yummy.
Diva, This looks so delicious!! Do you deliver? If you have any leftover, please keep them until I come in town!
Wow, that looks amazing! I love rib roasts. Your crack about the kids really hit home. Last year I bought a whole ribeye and cut it into a roasts and steaks. It was a big splurge. About a week later, I made dinner and my older son (20 at the time) said, "No thanks, I'm tired of steak." I swear that's what he said. I could have kicked his arse.
I like that you grilled your lemons. I just recently picked up that trick and it does heighten the flavor of the juice on the asparagus.
Jeeze….that is just the perfect plate. EXCELLENT job!
Thanks for all your help this will be a great dinner in the charcoal smoker. Please remember when the book is done I want to buy a copy. Tell Hubby and the kids we said hi. See Y'all on the BBQ Trail Karen n Honcho
Oh gosh, that looks GOOD! I'd eat that.

Ehm, you're pretty much screwed i think, you could try hooking up in another server as 2nd harddrive and see what you can read/repair ..
when you remove a partition table, the data on the disc is still there but your OS won't know what is where, you have tools that can figure out what belongs to what etc and you have companies that can restore hdd's.
good luck with it.

All Roads Lead to White Privilege
White privilege in America today is so omniscient, so assumed, so embedded in everything, that it is even forwarded by some liberal voices as the answer to the very problems it creates.
White privilege in America today is so omniscient, so assumed, so embedded in everything, that it is even forwarded by some liberal voices as the answer to the very problems it creates.
"I Want My Country Back". A motto that would be called treasonous if uttered by throngs of blacks, Latinos or Native Americans has been deftly sculpted by conservatives into an accepted clarion call for white power.
Imagine an alternate universe -- a foreign military power begins flying remote-controlled warplanes over your town, using on-board missiles to kill hundreds of your innocent neighbors. How would you and your fellow citizens respond?
According to the conservative leader of one of the most conservative cities in America, those thrown out of their homes in this Great Recession actually want to be homeless.
Those same Democrats expressing outrage at Paul's criticism of the Civil Rights Act have no problem accepting a deregulated labor market that lets employers fire and discriminate against you for all sorts of preposterous reasons.
Many "progressive" institutions are not principled at all -- sadly, lots of them are just propagandists for Democrats, regardless of what Democrats do.
Volume cannot hide poor quality. Spinal Tap's songs, no matter how loudly played, were quite awful. And Wall Street "reform" legislation, no matter how loudly celebrated, is the offensive punchline to a bad joke.
As the Senate's GOP leader, McConnell backed the bank bailout in 2008. A year and a half later, he says that he vehemently opposes bailouts of big business. His spectacular contortions have earned him a spot in the Flip-Flopping Hall of Fame.

I'm glad to say that you guys have made your support felt for 5C! I don't think it will be a thing that is huge, but even if you guys like what I've made, I will be happy with that.
I posted a marker piece on my FB site, and people seemed to really like it. In fact I woud say more people seem to like my marker stuff than my digital stuff.
So here's a question for you, would you like to see more marker stuff, mayhaps even a tutorial? I still have to work on Momo, but wouldn't mind doing some Omarker pieces. I'm kind of having and urge to do some Persona. (Yes Beatrush, your commission will be one of them!)
Any thoughts?

The construction of the World Cup Stadium in Qatar is scheduled to begin next year, although the host nation of the 2022 FIFA World Cup has many preliminary challenges to overcome considering the immense heat of the region. Besides developing a top notch world class stadium, engineers and construction workers in work pants need to build a stadium that is completely carbon neutral, as this formed part of their initial winning proposal to FIFA. Developing a green World Cup Station with an effective cooling system in a desert almost seems like an impossible task. However, engineers have already proposed a solution for carbon neutral air conditioning system for the 2020 World Cup Stadium.
Qatar engineers have had to consider that because FIFA World Cup takes place in summer in a desert region, air conditioning is an absolute must for both the players and the spectators. However, regular air conditioning is one of the most carbon emitting technologies especially when used on such a large scale. The World Cup Stadium developers have partnered with Arup Associates in London to create an air conditioning system that does not use fossil fuel and is thus carbon neutral. The demonstration World Cup Stadium model has a cooling system completely powered by solar energy. Between games the air conditioning system will store cooling in ice storage using similar cryogenic or phase change materials. When it is needed it can be effective for three or four hour time slots.
Even though the new technology is astonishing and is also a new concept- cooling a stadium in a desert is no easy feat- it was developed in a relatively short space of time, meeting its deadline. Incredibly, once the workers in their Scruffs boots have completed the construction of the World Cup Stadium in Qatar, the outside temperature can reach 48 degrees Celsius outside while the inside of the stadium maintains a cool climate of 22 degrees Celsius. In order to make the cooling of the World Cup Stadium even more effective a roof for the structure may be developed, although the final design still needs to be confirmed. When construction is completed (scheduled for 2015), the new green technology hopes to inspire other projects to take a more green stance to problem solving.

Jump in, the waters warm and there is plenty of room for more.
The place is kinda slow right now with nice weather and outdoor chores having to be done but come winter, we may get going again.
I know when I first started, we had quite a large crew all learning together at the same time which kept the ole printer steaming and the ink & paper companies whirling around in dough!:(

Updated: January 30, 2013 6:05AM
As America morphs from one nation under one Christian god to an amalgam nation under many gods, more scholars are asking whether the phrase "one nation under God" in our Pledge of Allegiance still applies.
Most recently, historian Molly Worthen posed the question in the New York Times and never really gave an answer. She referred to the increase of what she called "Chreasters — Americans who attend church only on Christmas and Easter." She also pointed to a Pew Research Center poll released in October showing that Americans who have no religious affiliation account for 20 percent of the population, up from 16 percent in 2008.
Certainly, four decades of massive immigration have changed not only the complexion of America's skin, turning us browner, but also the panoply of our faiths. The ballooning population of Asian Americans includes large numbers of Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and all manner of non-Christian faiths.
As our non-affiliated population increases, so does our non-Christian population. That has huge implications for us as we move forward. Speaking as one of the non-affiliated, I must say it is liberating to know there are more of us and more non-Christians as well. Sometimes, pop and political culture give one the idea we are a decidedly, oppressively Christian nation that does not take it lightly when we deviate from church dogma.
One such episode was the 2012 political season's fixation on reproductive rights. This was prompted by three bizarre statements made by white male candidates about the intersection of church doctrine and pregnancy. Another was the Catholic overreaction to the Obama health care plan. "ObamaCare" requires employers to cover contraception in their employees' health plans. The church hierarchy turned around and sued the administration, claiming its health care law violates the First Amendment guarantee of religious liberty.
The Obama administration offered a compromise, saying insurance companies would have to provide contraception for employees who wanted it, so Catholic employers could avoid directly providing birth control. But that wasn't good enough for the church, and the lawsuits persist.
It requires a huge leap of faith (pun intended) to jump from the free-exercise clause to claiming that requiring insurance companies used by Catholic employers (schools, hospitals and the like) to provide birth control to employees who want it (many of whom are not Catholic) somehow violates the right to religious liberty.
Clearly, the Catholic prelates and other Christian church leaders still see us as one nation under one god. But as the Pew poll indicates, this is changing. Another Pew poll released two years ago on the "millennial" generation and its relationship with faith should be even more troubling to Christian leaders: "Americans ages 18 to 29 are considerably less religious than older Americans. Fewer young adults belong to any particular faith than older people do today. They also are less likely to be affiliated than their parents' and grandparents' generations were when they were young."
One day, Christian leaders will wake up and recognize that their era is crumbling. If that means they will have decreasing power in the political realm, it will be a blessing for all of us — regardless of whether the "one nation under God" pledge still applies.

TROY, N.Y. -- Senator Kirsten Gillibrand is touting legislation that would help small businesses. The senator was at Market Block Books in Troy on Friday. She detailed legislation that would extend tax breaks for small businesses.
Several tax cut provisions expired at the beginning of this year and Gillibrand, along with several other senators, is working on a bill to extend the cuts. In addition, the Small Business Tax Extenders act would provide incentives to invest in small business stock, and increase deductions for start-up expenses.
"We have to help our businesses grow. Everyone knows the American dream is started by a strong middle class, and the middle class is strengthened by small businesses, by our agricultural sector, by our manufacturing sector. So a common sense bill like what we're talking about today can literally make the difference," said Sen. Gillibrand.
Senator Gillibrand says part of the legislation is geared towards women-owned small businesses, which are among the fastest growing segments of the economy.
Gillibrand is running for re-election in November. She's being challenged by Wendy Long, who recently won the Republican primary for the right to challenge Gillibrand.

Martin Whitmarsh maintains McLaren will 'look at anything' - even last year's car - if they cannot find a solution to this year's problems.
Having had one of the strongest cars in the latter stages of last year's Championship, McLaren had hoped for a flying start to this campaign. That, though, was not to be.
The Woking team struggled for pace in the season-opening Australian GP where Jenson Button finished a distant ninth while Sergio Perez was not even in the points.
McLaren's misery raised the question about whether they would consider reverting to last year's MP4-28 with Whitmarsh admitting it could be a solution.
"Well, not before next weekend that is for sure," the McLaren team boss told Sky Sports F1 when asked if reverting to the MP4-27 was a possibility.
"We will see, we are not too proud to say when we get things wrong, and we do occasionally.
"But for the time being we have to try and get some understanding and do the best job we can do go forward with this car as quickly as we can.
"It probably won't be as quick as I'd like or many people would like but we think we can work this one out, but if we can't we will look at anything."
Whitmarsh admitted that McLaren's back-to-back Aussie triumphs in 2011 and 2012 added to the team's suffering on Sunday.
"It has been a weekend where we have had to force a smile a few times - it has been tough. It is tough to start a year like this, you make decisions during the winter and sometimes they don't come off and it is not pleasant being here if you are used to being a front runner.
"We won the previous two grands prix and to be here with a lack of pace and frankly not understanding the car and really struggling made it difficult for the team."
The Brit, though, was impressed with how his drivers handled themselves in the face of adversity.
"The drivers did a great job this weekend as it is very easy to let your head drop - we went into the race with Jenson in the worst possible shape with heavily-grained tyres and he had to stop very soon so to come through and score some points was good for him.
"For Sergio to come from 16th and nearly get into the points is a solid job. We didn't have the pace so we had to rely on the drivers doing a great job looking after the tyres and doing the best job they could."

302: Chemical Spill Management
Safety Policy & Procedure Manual
Section 300: Laboratory Safety
To protect employees and the university community by providing guidance and instruction on how to effectively manage a chemical spill.
Faculty, staff, and students who discover or are involved in a chemical emergency.
Hazardous Chemicals
A chemical or material is considered hazardous if:
- It is flammable, highly reactive, or explosive
- It generates harmful vapors or dust particles that affect eyes or lungs.
- It is corrosive and attacks skin, clothing, equipment, furniture or facilities.
- It is poisonous by ingestion or absorption.
- It is radioactive. (For spills of radioactive material, immediately call Radiation Safety, 7-2227, and follow their instructions.)
Faculty, staff, or students who discover or are involved in a hazardous chemical spill are responsible for notifying the appropriate authorities and following established protocol. This protocol is outlined in OSU Safety Instruction #19 and found on the EH&S Web site.
Spilled chemicals should be effectively and quickly contained and cleaned up. Such spills should be handled correctly to avoid extensive property damage and personal injury.
EH&S Responsibility
Environmental Health & Safety (EH&S) is responsible for maintaining a Hazardous Material Spill Response Program that is in compliance with applicable policies, rules and regulations. The EH&S Hazardous Material Spill Response Program provides access to Material Safety Data Sheets that provide guidance and/or assistance with spill cleanup, the maintenance of hazardous chemical spill response equipment and materials, and procedures for notifying authorities (e.g. DEQ) in case of major spills
Supervisor Responsibility
Supervisors working with hazardous materials are responsible for being familiar with the hazardous properties of the materials, establishing appropriate spill procedures, being familiar with the EH&S Hazardous Chemical program, and for ensuring that all employees are aware of spill policies and procedures.
Employee Responsibility
All employees working in areas where hazardous materials are used or stored are responsible for knowing proper procedures to deal with spills and the requirement that large spills (more than one gallon liquid or one pound solid) must be immediately reported to EH&S.
General Guidelines
- The first step in dealing with any chemical spill is assessment of the magnitude of spilled material and the associated level of hazard. No one should attempt to deal with a spill until properly equipped with adequate personal protective equipment and spill treatment materials.
- Risk assessment is successful only if personnel are familiar with the hazardous properties of the material they are handling and have developed methods to follow in the event of a spill. Information of this type is available from safety data sheets and from Environmental Health and Safety (EH&S). The basic philosophy of chemical spill control at OSU is to contain and absorb first, treat second.
- EH&S has the responsibility to respond to chemical spills and oversee cleanup activities. EH&S also has the authority to ensure that appropriate cleanup steps are taken in accordance with applicable environmental regulations. EH&S maintains a chemical spill response vehicle that is equipped to handle typical chemical spills. Contact EH&S for assistance when dealing with a chemical spill by calling 7-2273, or by contacting Public Safety, 7-3010.
- The capability of EH&S to deal with chemical spills does not lessen the responsibility of laboratories to develop their own plans on how to safely deal with small spills. Several chemical spill kits are commercially available for small spills and their use is encouraged. For assistance in kit selection, contact EH&S.
- The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has established regulations that require the submission of reports for spills that are above certain amounts. All large spills of a hazardous chemical (more than one gallon liquid or one pound solid) must be reported promptly to EH&S, who will then make the report to DEQ if necessary.

UW-Eau Claire
News Bureau
Schofield Hall 218
Eau Claire, WI 54702-4004
UW-Eau Claire Theatre To
Present 'The Hothouse'
(715) 836-4741
(715) 836-2900
MAILED: April 22, 1999
EAU CLAIRE The University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire Theatre's last play of the academic year will be "The Hothouse." The play will begin at 7:30 p.m. May 5-8 and 11-15, and at 1:30 p.m. May 9 in Riverside Theatre of the Haas Fine Arts Center.
Under the direction of theatre arts professor Terry Allen, the play tells of a conspiracy that places frightening implications on a government superficially dedicated to its people, but that also refers to those same citizens as numbers.
Harold Pinter's "The Hothouse" is a black comedy set in a government-run mental institution on Christmas Day. The play will have a set that is "retro-future," Allen said.
The play deals with the oppression of the individual and revolves around a psychologically disturbed ex-colonel, Roote; Gibbs, a sinister and conniving person; and a seedy alcoholic appropriately named Lush.
The point Pinter tries to make in "The Hothouse" is that the state has an interest in producing "model" citizens who will conform to whatever is expected.
