The Battle of Franklin was fought in 1864 with 10,000 casualties. Today the battle of the Franklin engine continues here at Oshkosh.
For those who have flown behind the Franklin you know the smoothness and throaty rumble that is music to the senses. Franklin engines have been used in Helicopters, aircraft such as the Seabee and the Norton flying wing, Stinsons and even several cars of the Franklin brand as well as the Tucker automobile. Over the years Franklin built engine from the 4 cylinder AC-199 up to the 12 cylinder 12ac-595. However, new engine have been nonexistent for many years and parts are becoming more scarce. Two vendors here at Oshkosh are trying to reverse that.
Roman Sadowski (pictured), President of Franklin sp.z o.o., flew to Oshkosh from Grudziadz, Poland to assure the Franklin enthusiasts that his company is currently providing parts for Franklin engines from his Poland factory and his newly opened factory in Florida and will soon be manufacturing new engines. Mr Sadowski said through his interpreter that he has obtained the Type Certificate from WSK PZL Rzeszow which has held the TC for many years without producing a single part. Mr. Sadowski himself, has had the TC for several years and now seems to be serious about putting it to use and the reason may be because of Kelly Bartlett and George Gillespie.
Kelly Bartlett is President and George Gillespie is Chairman of Franklin Aircraft Engines USA LLC. These men along with Susan Prall, who as individually kept the Stinson aircraft and Franklin engines owners supplied with parts for a couple of decades, are making their bid to resurrect the Franklin engine and to again manufacture them here in the USA. Mr Gillespie told me that he has secured financing of 8 million dollars and is seeking an additional 2 million dollars to make it happen. They are doing this through a unique program called the "Franklin Engine Company Founders Club", where upon joining with a $15,000 fee you will become a member of a club that will own 10 percent of the company and will enjoy 10 percent of the net earnings on an annual basis. You will also receive a $5,000 line of credit towards the purchase of Franklin engine parts.
The current problem, and it might be a large one, is that Mr. Gillespie's company doesn't own the Type Certificate, but not for lack of trying. During Sun-n-Fun, a meeting was arranged between the principles but no agreement was reach to buy the TC from Mr. Sadowski. Here at Air Venture the two sides haven't even met and according to Mr. Gillespie he is in the process of obtaining all the manufacturing data and drawings from the Government under the Freedom of Information act and will attempt to obtain a Supplemental Type certificate if he can't buy one.
So the Battle of Franklin rages on and unless each company shoots the other out of the water it can only benefit Franklin engine owners, and again beautiful music will be heard from the skies.

How a VC winner is treated in modern Britain
Gurkha VC winner delivers medals to Downing Street in protest - Telegraph
A Gurkha who won the Victoria Cross delivered dozens of his medals to Downing Street in protest at the treatment of his fellow soldiers.
Tul Bahadur Pun VC, 87, a Second World War hero who is now in a wheelchair, handed in medals including an MBE as part of a demonstration to promote the rights of more than 2,000 Gurkhas to stay in Britain.
Mr Pun's protest came only days after he himself was refused treatment for a heart condition at an NHS hospital.
He was then told he owed the hospital thousands of pounds in unpaid medical bills.
Mr Pun, one of only 10 living VC holders in the UK, was close to tears after he was humiliated at a cardiology department at West Middlesex Hospital in London.
The war hero, who lives on just £135 a week, was forced to leave the hospital on the anniversary of winning his VC in Burma on June 23, 1944.
After examining his passport hospital officials said he was not entitled to treatment and would have to pay back the NHS for previous medical help because he had been "misleading" over his immigration status.
Mr Pun, who is blind and almost deaf, said: "I could not sleep worrying about having to pay thousands of pounds for the treatment I have already had. I have not misled anyone. The British Government allows me to live here."
He was originally refused entrance to the UK by British officials in Nepal as it was claimed he did not have strong enough ties with the UK.
But in June last year the decision was overthrown by Immigration Minister Liam Byrne, and he now lives in a home in Hounslow, west London.
What an utter, utter disgrace, I wish it hadn't been his medals he had deployed in Downing Street.

Thought y'all might be interested in an update from the Bluegrass State. Guiliani was in Louisville and Lexington yesterday for a couple of fund raising meetings. He met a crowd of Ron Paul folks in both locales. Guiliani in Lexington Kentucky
For now this link to one of the local TV coverage sites has the story #2 on the list. It may move down as time passes. What was interesting to me (I was in the crowd shivering in the cold weather with about 30 others), was the reaction of the passing cars during the rush hour in downtown Lexington.
Every 15 or so seconds a car would pass honking support and giving us thumbs up and nods of approval – that went on for over and hour. There was only one individual (while stopped at the traffic signal) who showed any signs of disapproval. Better, the entourage of Kentucky Republican Party and Guiliani entourage big wigs could not ignore our presence (despite their obvious wishes to do so) and looked quite chagrined that "there those Paul people are again!"
Haven't had that much fun in years! I continue to believe that the support for Paul is being seriously discounted. That's good – it's always better to be underestimated.

Leading energy company, SSE, has today been named as a National Community Partner of the Rugby Football Union (RFU). The three-year partnership will see SSE invest significantly to support community rugby in England and take on the title sponsorship of the National and Divisional Leagues.
To help shape their commitment to English rugby, SSE are asking all members of local rugby clubs throughout England to have their say on the resources and facilities that will benefit them most. After the rugby community has had their say through the 'What Clubs Need' online survey, SSE will use these results to roll out a season-long programme of rewards, resources and opportunities for rugby clubs. The survey is live today on www.SSERugby.com.
At the launch event this week, SSE National League 3 side Bracknell RFC was announced as the first club to benefit from additional resource to give their season a boost. England International and SSE ambassador Tom Croft visited the club, providing their National League First XV with a training session and delivering the good news that SSE would be giving them exactly what they need in the form of a contribution to their much-needed floodlights.
Leicester Tigers flanker and World Cup hopeful Tom Croft enjoyed the event, which brought back memories of his own community rugby background at Newbury RFC before joining the Leicester Tigers academy: "Having grown up in the English club rugby system, I know what a difference any additional support and investment can make to local rugby clubs – especially the smaller clubs in the lower Leagues.
"It's great to see SSE taking an interest in the future of the game by investing where it is needed the most. That will make all the difference. It certainly has here at Bracknell."
Stephen Forbes, Director of Sales, Marketing and Energy Services for SSE was proud to announce the partnership: "SSE is a growing brand, known better to many of our English customers as Southern Electric, and our primary focus is on delivering the best possible service for our customers – in short, making their lives easier in as many ways as we can.
"Our partnership with the RFU will help us do this for rugby clubs and their surrounding communities all over the UK – with a particular focus on the areas we serve and provide for. We're excited about our forthcoming plans that will bring this to bear."
A cornerstone of the partnership sees SSE support the funding of the RFU's Community Rugby Coaches (CRCs); each a qualified coach working under the strategic direction of an RFU Rugby Development Officer (RDO). SSE recognises the CRCs are a vital development route for the grassroots game and is delighted to support such an integral relationship for the growth of the sport.
Steve Grainger, Rugby Development Director for the RFU, commented: "We're delighted to see SSE join the RFU family. The success of rugby in England depends on the longevity of success at the community level to support growth through to the elite game. With SSE backing the National and Divisional Leagues and helping to develop our invaluable CRC workforce, club rugby in England has received a further boost."
Sophie Goldschmidt, who joined the RFU as Chief Commercial Officer in July, added:
"The announcement of SSE's investment in the grassroots game is a credit to both SSE's dedication to the development of the sport and the work of the Union. The new partnership provides important additional funding which will help to continue the outstanding work of community rugby coaches all around the country."
To have your say in SSE's club rugby support programme and to tell them exactly what your club needs, log on now to www.SSERugby.com. Every respondent gets 10% off at the RFU's online store, and those who offer greater detailed responses stand a chance of winning tickets to watch England in the 2012 RBS 6 Nations.

Don't get drenched or let off a stench.
Protect yourself from precipitation while releasing your perspiration in the breathable, waterproof Marmot Women's PreCip Jacket. The PreCip is 43% more breathable than last year, while offering solid 10K-rated waterproof protection. Throw on this comfortable shell when heading out on the trail in wet weather, and its microporous NanoPro membrane with microscopic, densely-packed pores and a DWR (durable water repellent) finish will go to work keeping rain drops out while letting perspiration through. The DriClime mesh chin guard prevents moisture buildup from your warm, moist breath and dripping sweat—moving it quickly away from your skin and drying quickly. Fully taped seams ensure rain doesn't sneak through the cracks, and you can batten down against the elements by pulling in the hood, hem, and cuffs. For additional ventilation if you start getting steamy huffing up a hill, unzip the underarm vents.
If the weather clears up, roll up the hood and stuff it in the collar to keep it out of the way of your backpack. Or stuff the whole jacket into one of the zippered hand pockets that double as stuff sacks, and pop it in your backpack. It weighs a mere 11.4 ounces, so you'll hardly notice it's there.
- 10K NanoPro waterproof membrane with excellent breathability (17K)
- NanoPro eco-friendly DWR finish
- Durable nylon ripstop face fabric
- DriClime moisture-managing mesh chin guard
- Regular fit with Angel-Wing construction for free movement
- Underarm zipper vents
- Adjustable hood rolls into collar
- Packs down into hand pocket
- Adjustable hook-and-loop cuffs and elastic drawcord hem

Nice and light
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I got this in a beautiful shade of green and received many compliments on it. I've worn this in heavy rain while hiking and the zipper vents are a very nice touch in keeping me dry and cool. It's a very crinkly material and prone to bad wrinkles if it's not stuffed or folded neatly. I can't quite seem to fold it neatly into the stuff pocket so I end up folding it into a small rectangle in my pack since I'm not a fan of the wrinkles. I usually hang it up unless it's being packed for other adventures so the wrinkles aren't too bad.
For the price I paid and its ability to keep me dry in sudden downpours, I am very happy with it. The brighter colors are beautiful especially on a dreary rainy day! I'm 5'5" and a small fit nicely with room to spare even with a fleece underneath.

A Splash of Color and Superior Service

This product is great! The PreCip keeps me dry even in heavy rain. The only splash you'll feel wearing this, is the bright splash of color - which I get many compliments for. I originally got the electric yellow color but then realized my sister has the same coat. I used the Gearhead chat service to perform an exchange (for the sunset orange) and not only did the associate put in my new order for me, he gave me free 2-day shipping on it and free return shipping. I was so thankful for the high quality service regarding my purchase/exchange. It was hassle free and my orange coat came within a couple days!

This jacket is very light weight yet stands up to wind and a bit of chill in the air. I was pleasantly surprised on the ease of use and comfort - I will wear this for more occasions than I originally expected.

Great Rain Jacket
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I love this jacket! It packs into its own pocket, has pit zips and keeps me dry! Fits great
Does the job, but wrinkles
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I ordered this jacket for a backpacking trip in the Adirondacks because I was expecting rain. I appreciated that it was lightweight, would pack into the pocket and would keep me dry. I figured that this would also come in use for around town because I can easily throw it in my purse if it looks like rain.
That being said, the things I like about this jacket are that it fits great and looks cute, with some room to layer underneath. The color (Sea glass) is also very nice. I like that you can adjust the sleeves and hood with Velcro and cinch the elastic waistband to fit. I was not out in all-out downpour, but it deflected rain very well. It also kept the wind out at the exposed summits. It packs easily into the pocket and takes up minimal space and weight, so it worked as intended.
What I don't like is that after having it packed up into the pocket for 2-3 days the jacket is impossibly wrinkled. After a week of hanging the jacket, nothing has changed. It looks terrible and I don't think I would want to wear it out in public now. I am afraid to pack it up inside the pocket again for fear of more wrinkles.
I bought my sister-in-law the Columbia Arcadia and this jacket did not have the same issue, so I will likely exchange unless I can figure out how to get these wrinkles out in the next day or so. Pointers welcome!
Meg Fogg
Hey there!
Try washing it and hang drying it to see if that does the trick.
Try just 3-4 mins or so in the dryer, for the wrinkles, no need to wash but it won't hurt it to either (put a softener sheet in the dryer with it just to freshen it up) that should do the trick. That won't help while you vacationing away from a dryer but it'll help at home!

Absolutely perfect rain jacket
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This rain jacket repels water very well and the generous hood keeps your head and even glasses dry. I use it for walking or hiking, and even short distance commuter cycling. It folds up easily and doesn't take up much space in a back pack. The bright blue color helps keep me visible on a cloudy day. The two side pockets are generously deep for hands, keys, phone and wallet.

how warm is this? im looking for a good windbreaking, water resistant jacket for september in peru where the temperatures can vary high 60s in the day to high 30s/low40s in the evening

Hi Cher,
There is no added insulation in this jacket to help keep warm- but it is a great rain layer! I would recommend you stick with the Summerset softshell jacket you are looking at, and bring extra layers for when it cools down

Kayla is right about this jacket having no added insulation, but you can easily wear a long sleeve or light fleece/base layer underneath to keep warm below 55 degrees.

How true to fit is this? I would normally order a M (5"3' and 135lbs) but I am planning the AT thru hike next year and need mid layers or a fleece to fit underneath it. Would you recommend going up a size or is there enough room for a fleece jacket?
Lisa E
This runs true to size so I would recommend you stick with a M. There is plenty of room for a baselayer and light-mid weight fleece for layering.

I purchased this jacket a few years ago and still love it but I want to waterproof it again. What product would you recommend using? Would NIKWAX TX. Direct Wash-In work?
Wayne Christoffersen
Hey Bry,
That is exactly what I would suggest you use to snap your jacket back to life.

I measured my sleeve according to the diagram and it measures 26" but the actual length of the jacket sleeve is 31", I am an xs. Will the sleeve length be ok?
Travis Tzioumis
Hey Kara,
The sleeves have velcro tabs on them so that you can tighten them up at your wrist if they are a little too long.
Great rain coat!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
I ordered this for the on/off showers that happen over the summer in Colorado. My main form of transportation is a bike, and this has been a great jacket to have while riding from place to place in the rain. So far I've had no issues with water getting through, the jacket keeps everything underneath it fairly dry. It's also pretty light and I love that it has underarm vents as well.
I'm 5"7 and about 128 and I ordered a small, its pretty roomy and it fits my long arms perfectly!
Girly fit
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
- Fit: True to size
I returned this jacket because I wasn't a fan of the fit. I am normally a size 12 dress size/pants, 5'6" tall, and I got the L and it fit pretty well. This jacket was longer than I was expecting. It almost covers my entire butt. It's got a really girly fit that is wider in the hips and narrower in the waist. I was planning on using this jacket for backpacking, and the fit just looked too weird and formal for me. I returned it and bought the mens version instead. The mens small fits me well. This jacket seems fine, I just really didn't like how it looked on me. Not my style I guess. I'm still giving it 5 stars though because it seems like a great rain jacket.

The hood is adjustable at the opening and can be cinched down around your face.

That is correct. This is indeed the 2014 model.

Does this jacket zip from the bottom as well as from the top? Is it lightweight and packable or heavier? Is it roomy enough to layer under? Thanks!
Sarah Orellana
Hey! This is a great option to layer and it does only offer the one way zip option. It's also a VERY lightweight jacket with a great waterproof tech called NanoPro DWR, that really gives you a great waterproof rating and even greater breathability.
Hope that helps!

A transit-oriented development (TOD) is a mixed-use residential and commercial area designed to maximize access to public transportation, and often incorporates features to encourage transit ridership. A TOD neighborhood typically has a center with a transit station or a stop in easy walking distance from relatively high-density development with progressively lower-density development spreading outward from the center.
Other characteristics of a TOD include common parks and open space areas, bike and pedestrian paths and unique architecture. Central Point approved the Twin Creeks TOD in 2001 and the City is now in the process of planning an East Side TOD, north of Pine Street between Bear Creek and Hamrick Road. Central Point has relatively few residentially zoned areas in town where it can grow and at the same time create attractive and identifiable neighborhoods. By accommodating some of the City's future population growth in these TOD areas, we also postpone the need to expand into the farmland that surrounds us. The Twin Creeks TOD has been so well received that the City Council directed its planning staff to pursue the East Side TOD.
For more information about this new land use strategy, contact Community Development Director, Tom Humphrey at 541-423-1025.

Glowing Tron-like animation highlights bicycle hotspots
This mesmerizing video may look like an art display, but it's actually a data representation of the five million routes taken by London cyclists since 2010. It's the perfect marriage of graphic visualization and useful information.
Barclays Cycle Hire was launched in 2010 to provide an alternative means of transportation for London commuters. Visualization specialist Jo Wood and collaborator Andrew Huddart, both from City University London, took the first five million journeys and created the animated map to help transport planners and associated organizations make better decisions on how to support the bicycle project in the future.
The animation starts out looking like tangled spaghetti, but the creators allowed for the least traveled routes to fade out after about 15 seconds. Patterns are then revealed after about one minute. The chaos begins to shape itself into three major routes: those in and around Hyde Park in the west, trips in and out of King's Cross St. Pancras in the north, and between Waterloo and the City in the east.
The curves of a route show the most frequent directions of travel. So, looking at the animation reveals more people traveled to King's Cross than from it; Waterloo sees people depart from there and head into the City rather than people heading towards that destination. Strangely, the data reveals people leaving locations via bicycle, but not necessarily returning that way.
The map can't reveal why these routes have evolved this way, which is why Wood and Huddart believe the next step would be to add anonymous user profiles to the data. If they can get a more detailed picture of use of the bicycles over time, it could help the planners adjust the location of the bicycle docking stations and how many are needed throughout the city.
If the next level of data collection looks anything like this first generation model we can't wait to see it — and what the City of London might do with it.

Cellulite is unattractive, and can ruin your self-confidence. Fortunately, you do not have to live with it for the rest of your life. Some tips can help you learn how to get rid of cellulite, so you can look and feel your best.
Tip #1: Make some changes in your diet. Roughage will remove waste that can contribute to cellulite. Eat fresh vegetables and fruit, and whole grains every day.
If you want the most benefits from fruits and vegetables, eat them with the skins intact whenever possible. This will increase the roughage in your diet. If you must cook your vegetables, avoid overcooking. Overcooking can reduce their nutritive value.
Tip #2: Drink fresh, pure water every day. Water will flush waste from your body, and improve the collagen that leads to smooth skin. Not only is water important to your health, it is good for your skin. When you develop the habit of drinking water throughout the day, you will see how it benefits your skin.
Tip #3: Physical activity will decrease cellulite. Make time in your daily schedule for exercise. Swimming, walking, and other forms of exercise can make cellulite disappear. You can ride your bicycle, or use a stationary bicycle at home.
After you exercise, use an oil or moisturizing cream on your skin. After you have perspired from exercising, these products will absorb more effectively. When you massage the product into your skin, skin will become smooth. By the way, one of the best program I have come across is Joey Atlas' body movements. Click on the link to read a in-depth review about it.
Tip #4: Massage can break up the fat and improve your circulation. You do not need to visit a spa. You can massage your skin in the privacy of your own home. If you wish, you can use a special soap or oils made for this purpose.
Tip #5: An exfoliator is good for your skin, and can eliminate unattractive cellulite. Purchase one online, from a pharmacy, or from a specialty store. The fatty deposits will begin to disappear if you exfoliate your skin regularly.
However, you do not have to spend money on an expensive product to exfoliate your skin. One alternative is to make one yourself. A healthy, inexpensive option is a coffee scrub. Before your shower, massage your skin with coffee grounds.
A second alternative is skin brushing. Use a skin brush with natural bristles. Using firm strokes, brush the affected areas before you take your daily shower.
Tip #6: Purchase and use a serum that is specially made for firming the skin. If you use it every day, you should see improvements in your skin in less than two weeks.
Tip #7: If it is within your budget, buy special workout gear. An example is a pair of workout shorts that contain ingredients to help your skin. They can help hydrate and tighten your skin so your skin will appear smoother after you have completed your workout.
Tip #8: Use an artificial tanner when you need to look your best before your cellulite has completely vanished. Whether you are going to the beach or wearing a party dress, an artificial tanner will make your cellulite less visible. In addition to creating the appearance of a tan, cellulite will not be as noticeable.
Tip #9: Avoid tight clothing. As good circulation is necessary when you want to be free from cellulite, do not wear clothing that can interfere with your blood circulation. This approach not only applies to jeans, pants, and tops, but also underwear. Choose looser clothing so your blood can circulate properly.
Tip #10: Detoxify your body with a healthy drink. One approach is to make a drink with cayenne pepper and lemon juice. For the most benefits, drink this combination three times every day. When the toxins are flushed out of your body, the appearance of your skin will improve, and your body will be healthier.
When cellulite is extreme, your first thought may be to have cosmetic surgery. In most cases, though, a surgical procedure is not necessary. If you begin with some of these tips, your skin should start to improve within a short period of time.
However, as cellulite does not occur overnight, you need to be patient. It may have taken years for these fatty deposits to build up in your skin. If you do not expect overnight results, and do not become discouraged, you will be pleasantly surprised with the improvements in your appearance.
Years of weight gains or losses, a poor diet, and a sedentary lifestyle, can all contribute to the buildup of cellulite. While you are in the process of trying these tips, take a few minutes to assess your lifestyle and habits. If you make a point of eating healthy foods, staying active, and maintaining a healthy weight, you may never have to deal with cellulite again. Regardless of your age, you can always be attractive and confident.

Valentines' Day is coming up.
Realize now that your people want something handmade from you.
Even if they aren't saying so...
The bark Valentines I made last year are probably my favorite ones yet. A few supplies from the craft store and you're ready to go.
Crochet hearts can be made into nearly anything (embellish a card, string them up, or leave them in lunchboxes.) A link to make these.
Although I also really like the ones I made this year.
Heart chains made from pipecleaners.
I love anything made with Hama beads.
There's tons more ideas on my pinterest board. My kids no longer make Valentines to trade at school (sniff sniff), but I would suggest these if they did.
Or maybe I'll just make them. Gah!

Own a Leaf? Nissan would like to keep buyers of its all-electric car it in the proverbial family by offering a $1,000 loyalty discount towards other Nissan vehicles, even those dirty, nasty gas-powered ones.
In fact, Nissan is making the loyalty case offer available to anyone who lives in the household of a 2011 or 2012 Leaf owner (we're wondering how folks will stretch the definition of "household" to work that system). Nissan must be aware that some families like to hedge their bets and complement their EV with a gas-powered car; will $1,000 be enough to make it more likely they will choose a Nissan?
The loyalty program will be offered through the end of next year, and Nissan will be contacting Leaf owners starting next month as a reminder that
In January, Nissan cut the price of its 2013 Leaf by $6,400 to a base of $28,800. Through February, Nissan's US vehicle sales were down three percent, compared to last year, down to 180,555 units. Leaf sales, though, were up 13 percent in 2013 compared to the same time in 2012.

The ArtReach Nanoplex is an experimental moving-image gallery housed with a converted family caravan. Our state of the art surround sound projection room creates a truly unique and immersive experience, providing up to ten viewers at a time with an exclusive insight into the world of digital arts. Welcome to the world's smallest moving-image gallery!
We have created a special Festival concept – Night of Festivals – in order to celebrate freedom and democracy through the presentation of challenging and exciting new artworks, encompassing a wide range of disciplines. We plan to stage Night of Festivals 2012 (see www.nightoffestivals.com) in the high profile Old Market Square, Nottingham from 21-23 June.
With your support, we'd like to curate a new programme of short moving image pieces made by artists from around the world to show in the ArtReach Nanoplex during the Festival.
About the Project
The proposition for Night of Festivals 2012 is a focus on a global celebration of world artists and world freedom (complementing the 2012 welcoming the world to the UK). The opening day of the Festival (21 June) coincides with the opening of the 2012 Cultural Olympiad Festival and the build up to and delivery of the Night of Festivals event will come just before the Torch Relay visits Nottingham.
With your support, we would like to identify and curate an exceptional programme of short, experimental moving-image that reflects the theme of freedom and democracy, and represents artists from six continents – North America and Canada, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia and Australasia.
The work will be edited into six programmes, each of up to twenty minutes duration, and each focusing on artists from a different continent and culture. This new creative programme will be premiered in the Artreach Nanoplex throughout Night of Festivals 2012 with a continuous programmes of screenings from 11am until 10pm in the evening each day.
This is a quirky, high quality and adventurous project that will attract media and public attention and be accessible to anyone who wishes to participate as an audience member. There will be no charge for people to enter the Nanoplex and see the films but tickets will be issued to ensure attendance can be managed.

About Night of Festivals
In 2010 ArtReach developed an extraordinary partnership encompassing Embassies of Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Colombia and Chile, ACE, Nottingham City Council, Nottingham arts organisations and Latin American artists (all disciplines) in order to create/deliver Night of Festivals 2010 from 16-18 September, enjoyed by 30,000 people in Old Market Square, Nottingham and by thousands through TV, online coverage and documentary dissemination.
The concept for Night of Festivals (the overarching brand) was devised by ArtReach, and emerged organically from the aspiration to develop a special event to celebrate the Bicentenary of Latin American independence from Spain in 2010. The intent was to celebrate freedom through the presentation of challenging, stimulating and exciting new artworks encompassing a wide range of disciplines (including new media). In 2011 the momentum has been maintained through delivery of a smaller scale Night of Festivals Box of Tricks event in which the Nanoplex made its first appearance.

Norwegian oil and gas major Statoil said late it has been awarded shares in seven exploration licences on the UKCS.
The company is operator for two of these, and expects this number to increase when the blocks pending environmental assessment are awarded.
The licences which were awarded by the United Kingdom authorities are part of the United Kingdom 27th Offshore Oil and Gas Licensing Round, and comprise a total of 19 blocks West of Shetland and in the North Sea.
In the United Kingdom North Sea, the most prolific award is for 3 blocks in the Catcher area on the Western Platform, where Statoil and Nexen on behalf of a group of five partners will be responsible for drilling at least three exploration wells in the coming years.

They muddy your windshield and assault your wipers and aerial. And for their 'work' they want to be paid. In Toronto this week, a man waved one of them off. When ignored, he got out of his car, and was beaten about the head. Other cities have run them off, and if the political will is there, Toronto can do it too.

The Sioux Empire United Way in Sioux Falls selected Lutheran Social Services to launch a new mentor program called USucceed.
Posted on 11/10/2011
The Sioux Empire United Way in Sioux Falls selected Lutheran Social Services to launch a new mentor program called USucceed. This program is designed for volunteers to mentor students who have a disproportionate number of risk indicators for dropping out of high school. For example, they do not live with a parent or guardian and have limited support. Intervention efforts are critical early on. It is the appropriate stage of development to best absorb and benefit from the skills of a mentor. The mentor will help the student tackle issues related to living independently, finding a job and completing high school.
USucceed will begin in January and include 30 high school freshmen from schools in Lincoln and Minnehaha Counties. Mentors and referred students committing to the USucceed program will spend at least four hours per month together for the duration of the students' high school career. As a new school year starts, there will be an additional group of 30 freshmen who will begin USucceed.
Under the guidance of LSS staff, mentors and students will focus on three primary areas—relationship building, independent living skills and academics including high school graduation.
"USucceed will show students that their mentors and the community do care about them," says Michelle Madsen, LSS Mentoring Programs director.

Welcome to the Numeric Data Resources Guide!
Welcome to the Libraries' Guide to numerical data! This guide is designed to help you find data that you can use in your classes and your research. If this guide does not have the information you are looking for, don't hesitate to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will be happy to help you find what you are looking for.
Data Versus Statistics
Recently I've met some people who use the terms "data" and "statistics" interchangeably. But while they are both numeric, they mean different things to researchers and the world of academia.
Data is raw, unadulterated information, like the number of bars in a city, the number of pigs in the state, or the temperature. With statistics, someone has "done something" to the data, or manipulated it in some way. Examples of statistics include the number of bars per person, population density, the average daily temperature.
Why can't I find anything more recent?
Data can be expensive and time-consuming to produce and process - often depending on its size, scope, complexity, and available funding. The more people a survey includes, or the more observations that are recorded, the longer it will take for the data to be collected and processed, and the more expensive it is.
Data can also be embargoed. This is a ban on the publication of documents (or in this case data), for security or copyright reasons. Scientists can wait until they have finished analyzing their data before making it available. The US Census does this as well; reports on the changes in the population were available before the data was released to the general public.
Did you know?
Copyright law does not apply to facts, data, or ideas. However, it does apply to their arrangement (as in a data base). But, just because data is not protected by copyright, it does not mean there are not other legal considerations.
The most common is privacy. Research in medicine, sociology, education, and public policy may include information about individuals that is protected either by federal privacy legislation or by commitments made by the researchers who collected it. Attempts to anonymize data before sharing it do not ensure that individual research subjects will not be identifiable, thus compromising privacy. For more information, check out Facts and Data from the University of Michigan.
