So which one do you choose? You've probably heard fantastic things about both blenders. Here we aim to give you the facts so you can make an informative choice as to which to buy. It's the Vitamix vs Ninja in our comparison test. For a quick comparison we've included a table at the bottom of the review with the pros and cons of each but for a more detailed analysis and to find out which will save you save you time and money then read on…
Let's start with the Vitamix.
Considered the top of the range by many a professional chef the Vitamix is packed full of features that will make your life in the kitchen very easy indeed. Used in restaurants, bars and the finest cooking schools this piece of kitchen wizardry is the standard that many people want. The workhorse of the Vitamix is a Swedish designed 2 Peak Horsepower motor which has four laser cut blades that tear down the cell walls of fruits and vegetables, making vital nutrients more readily available for your body to absorb. The blender does more that just blend and liquify, it has a whole host of tricks that you don't always get with other machines. You can cook steaming hot soup in a matter of minutes or create creamy ice cream in under 30 seconds.
The traditional polycarbonate containers (found in the early 2007 models) have now been replaced with an even more durable copolyester called Eastman Trita. The new jar is not only stronger, but is also significantly more chemical and heat-resistant, is quieter during operation, and contains no Bisphenol-A (BPA) commonly found in polycarbonate.
This is no lightweight machine, coming in at just under 5KG (11lbs) you really get a feel that this thing is well built. It's also 20′ (52cm) tall making it ever so slightly bigger when comparing the Ninja Blender vs Vitamix
The Vitamix is so well made that low friction ball-bearings are built to last a lifetime. This means it would be the only blender you ever have to buy. The spill proof lid and easy grip handle have been well though through as to prevent any minor annoyances (such as spillage) that you may get with cheaper blenders while pouring your liquid. The lid also contains a stopper for the tamper so you wont accidentally hit the blades when your pushing those thick bits of food to the bottom.The blender is marked for measuring purposes in ounces, cups and litres – holing a maximum of 80oz or 10 cups.
If there still aren't enough gadgets already included in the package you can opt to buy a dry blade, this is particularly useful for grinding of whole grains and beans into flours, powdering sugar, and making bread crumbs.
The only real negative with the Vitamix is the cost. Having a RRP of £599.99 ($900) for the pro version and between £400 – £500 ($650 – $820) for the standard version means coughing up a serious amount of money for the machine.
So what's it actually like to use?
Essentially a dream come true. I've used many sub standard blenders in the past. It really is the attention to details that make this worth the money. Theres no job too big or too small for this machine, you can just keep loading more and more fruit or vegetables into it and it keeps on going. You can even create pancake batter, smoothies, Ice cream, chocolate fondue, salsa and even cake mixtures in this machine. This really is the only machine you will need
When it comes to cleaning the machine it couldn't be much easier, all that you are required to do is fill the machine 1/4 full of water with a bit of detergent and run of full speed for about a minute. Then simply give it a quick rinse and you're done
The Ninja Professional Blender
The Ninja Blender is certainly a good preforming blender. I've used one in the past myself and it certainly has produced some excellent tasting smoothies and juices. The machine is very easy to use and pretty much comes assembled right out of the box, a quick rinse and you're ready to go. The Ninja blenders all come with a two year warranty as standard.
One of the main advantages of this blender is it's cost. Coming in at under £70 ($100) you really cant complain for what you are getting. The pitcher, lid and assembly are all dishwasher safe, so you can simply put them in the dishwasher and not worry about them. The parts are also reasonably priced compared to that of the Vitamix, blades, pitchers, lids and accessories are much cheaper, so this thing won't cost the earth to run and maintain.
The pitcher is measured to hold 72oz (2 litres or 9 cups) however like the Vitamix it can hold a little bit more. There are 4 modes available which are labelled 1, 2, 3 and pulse. These produce a slow, medium, fast and pulsing speed respectively.The machine itself is 17 inches tall (43cm) and will fit on most countertops with cupboards above them
The Ninja professional has 6 stainless steel blades which can easily turn ice cubes into a powdered snow in just a few seconds – making those cocktails look like there from a bar. The non slip base also has room for storing the cable which comes in handy for transporting it or simply storing it away in the cupboard
On the negative side though I have found that the blade does tend to wear down a little quicker then I would like, however it does out last pretty much all other blenders at this price point. If you are looking a making the occasional smoothie, bit of ice cream or fruit drink then you will certainly get a few years out of this machine. However if you're using it everyday you may come to the end of it's life span a little quicker then you may anticipate.
So what's it actually like to use?
This machine is brilliant as a stand alone blender making smoothies, ice cream and juices but thats about it. It handles a decent load but can over heat when making large amounts of slush from ice cubes ( the instructions do warn you of this though). It then requires a 15 minute cooling down period which isn't ideal if your making food for the masses. It's also easy to look after and can take a bit of punishment.
In Summary
When it comes to deciding between the Ninja blender vs Vitamix then if you have the money then buy the Vitamix, you certainly won't regret it. I certainly wouldn't choose any other blender as you don't really know what your missing until you have it. Making warm soup from cold vegetables for example, it will save you time and money as you simply won't need to add the mixture to a pan and heat it up once you've created your soup. You are getting an absolute work of engineering when it comes to creating foods in the kitchen. If it is however too expensive then buy the Ninja blender, you're getting a high tech blender with many features for a very reasonable price. This is a fantastic piece of kit for the money, overshadowing many similar products on the market at that price range.

The Lowdown - This Week's XLR8R Top 10
- Words: Shawn Reynaldo
- Photo: Claudia Lucia
Throughout the week, a whole lot of material gets posted here on XLR8R. And while we know—and love—that some hardcore readers will eagerly pour over every single news story, interview, podcast, video, and MP3 download that appears on the site, we also realize that for most people, it's impossible to see everything, which means that some quality XLR8R content is likely to get missed in the hustle and bustle of everyone's daily lives. In the interest of making it easier for everyone to catch up, every Friday we present The Lowdown, a weekly wrap-up of the top 10 tidbits from our site.
1. Dirtybird bossman Claude VonStroke (pictured above) took us inside his new LA digs and told us about his evolving production methods for the latest chapter of In the Studio.
2. Mexican producer and Cómeme oddball Daniel Maloso put together an exclusive mix for this week's XLR8R podcast. We also exclusively streamed his new album in full.
3. NYC duo Wolf + Lamb offered up a free download of its new album, Versus, ahead of its official release next week.
4. This week's contest gave readers the chance to win a pair of sunglasses from Shwood. Enter now before it's too late.
5. Rising UK producer Citizen was the focus of the latest Bubblin' Up feature.
6. We reviewed—and quite liked—the new Fabric 66 mix CD from German DJ/producer Ben Klock.
7. UK beatmaker Lapalux dropped a new EP, which we also liked. Here's our review.
8. Next month, Tropics will be releasing a new EP on Svetlana Industries, Popup Cinema. Ahead of that, he gave away a remix of the title track by fellow Londoner Kelpe.
9. UK producer George FitzGerald has been rather busy lately. This week, he announced the impending release of a new EP, Needs You, on the Hypercolour label.
10. Next week, UK duo Shelter Point will be releasing its debut EP via Scuba's Hotflush label. Before that, XLR8R was given an exclusive stream of the whole record.
An expanded version of the The Lowdown is also available via a weekly email newsletter. Those interested in an even more in-depth round-up of XLR8R content, including a complete listing of all the free downloads we've offered in the past seven days, should sign up by entering their email address below.

Top Local Tips for Mougins
Wine If you are dining at the restaurant and opt for the 6 or 8 course menu wine is provided (1/2 bottle each). If you dont like the first one poured for you let the sommelier know! He should then produce something else which you do. I tried 3 different reds before getting the one I wanted.
Value for money dinner Resto des Arts in Rue Marechal Foch has a relatively inexpensive menu, with good food and service. The tables are close to each other, but that was not really a problem. The restaurant always seemed to be busy, which confirms our view that it was good!
Best Restaurant in the town of Mougins Although there are six restaruants clustered in a row with little to distinguish them, the food at A La Table D'Edmond is the best casual restaurant by far.

Will Kennedy
Yellowjackets / Sessions - United States
He won Modern Drummer magazine's reader's poll for best drummer (electric jazz category) three years in a row.
Will has a drumming video, which he co-produced with drum innovator Bob Gatzen. It was released by Warner Bros. as part of the "Inspiring Drummer" series.
He was part of ABC's critically acclaimed "Wayne Brady Show." The band was led by Peter Michael Escovedo. (Will and Peter also worked together in the "Demographically Correct Orchestra" on UPN's critically acclaimed "Martin Short Show.")
Music came to Will early in life; he was playing his first drumset at the age of four. His older brother Hershall was involved in San Francisco, CA area funk bands (playing keyboards), and Will would hang out and watch the band and also jam with his brother in the garage. His father had an extensive record collection and music was a big part of life for the Kennedy family.
One afternoon, his brother came home with a record by the great Tony Williams. It was one of Tony's solo albums titled Believe it new lifetime. "I listened to it over and over... I just couldn't imagine the drums being played like that, and when I went to see him play live, my life was changed".
Will played percussion and traps throughout his school years, and by age ten he had his first private instructor: Bill Nawrocki would teach during the day and swing with all sorts of bands at night. He taught Will the basics of drumming and was a great motivator.
He studied music in college under a professor named Bill Bell, who not only was an incredible instructor in classical and jazz studies, but also became like a second father to Will and ultimately invited Will to perform with him all around the Bay area.
Will was fast becoming a fixture in the Bay area scene. He started playing with a group called Rythmus 21, which was an all-star band featuring some of the top musicians in the community. Through this association Will was introduced to Andy Narrel, who wasted no time snatching Will up. Will did multiple records and tours with Andy, and around this time started getting heavily involved with writing music and became a partner in his first successful publishing company. Also during this time, saxophonist Marc Russo — a member of the Yellowjackets, and fellow Bay area resident — asked Will if he would be interested in joining the group (drummer Ricky Lawson had just left). "It was a tough decision to leave everything I had going on at the time, but after meeting and jamming with the Yellowjackets, I knew this was something I just had to do".
He's actively involved in education. He has conducted clinics and Master series all over the world, and he participates in many educational functions sponsored by his equipment endorsees, including Pearl, Zildjian, Promark, Evans, Shure and Drumframe. He also has a series of educational recordings under the heading "Will's Practice Room."
Will has reunited with the Yellowjackets and they're preparing to record a new CD in the Spring of 2010.

See How the Style Council Accessorizes Their Summer Tees!
Dressing up a basic is easy. All you need is a few necklaces, a pop of color, or a sheer cover-up according to the SC! Steal their tricks to update your style this summer.
I definitely feel like accessories can either make or break an outfit. With this look, I am wearing hand-made deconstructed denim shorts, a mint collared t-shirt, and a sheer cover-up from Forever 21. I topped off the minty top with a spiked necklace underneath its collar and a bright blue feather earring to add a pop of color. This outfit is flowy, fun, and super-summery!

On June 12, Ontarians re-elected the Liberal Party government led by new premier Kathleen Wynne – this time with a full majority (more seats than all other parties combined). This means that the provinces two current Feed-in Tariff Programs – MicroFIT for small projects 10 kW and under and FIT for projects up to 500 kW – will be run for another four years, bringing much needed stability particularly to the solar PV energy market.
Under its Long Term Energy Plan (LTEP) released in December 2013, the government has committed to procure 900 MW of new renewable power through the FIT programs by 2018. Procurement under the FIT program will be 150 MW per year and 50 MW per year for MicroFIT. Announcement of the 2014 FIT contract offers is expected before the end of July. As in the previous years, community owned projects will be given priority.
In addition to the FIT programs, the government has committed to procure 280 MW of larger solar, wind, bioenergy, and hydro projects through competitive bidding processes. Finally, there is a pledge to consider raising the current targets for renewable energy beyond the 12 GW set in the LTEP, although this would depend on a decision not to re-furbish some of the Provinces aging nuclear capacity. The estimated cost of these re-furbishments is increasing and there is mounting pressure to increase renewable targets and purchase hydro power from Quebec instead.
In the three years since the FIT Programs started under the 2009 Green Energy Act, Ontario has attracted more than $27 billion in private sector investment in close to 10,000 MW of renewable power and 30 clean energy companies. This investment has resulted in more than 20,000 jobs. The programs have driven down costs significantly as can be seen by comparing current the 2014 FIT 3.0 tariffs for solar PV with those in the first round.
|Solar Rooftop PV System
|FIT 1.0Cents/kWh
|FIT 2.xCents/kWh
|FIT 3.0Cents/kWh
|MicroFIT systems < 10 kW roof
|FIT systems 10-100 kW
|FIT systems 10-250 kW
|FIT systems 100-500 kW
|FIT systems 250-500 kW
While the current FIT programs are a far cry from the long term comprehensive feed-in tariff procurement process promised in 2010, Ontarians can breath a sigh of relief and look forward to steady increase in renewable power capacity in the coming years.
Ontario Power Authority finally announced the awarding of FIT 3 contracts for projects 10-500 kW on July 30
These contracts add up to 123.5 megawatts (MW) broken down as follows:
- 490 solar photovoltaic (PV) projects
- 8 bio-energy projects
- 1 wind energy project
- 1 waterpower project
257 projects (60 MW) are with First Nations, 81 projects (21.5 MW) with community co-ops, and 161 projects (42 MW) with municipal or public sector institutions.

A few thoughts.....
It's easy for a lot of people to pull young kids from school. Fewer people do it in middle and high school. The work is that much more challenging, policies change, and then there are the activities - miss a week of basketball practice to be at Disney and you may be on the bench for weeks. Surprisingly, a lot of kids don't want to miss school at that age either, it's the place their friends are.
If you haven't stayed in a DVC room, you should. A DVC room is significantly different than a deluxe room, and had I gone from deluxe room to DVC studio, I'd have regretted my decision. For us, the benefit of DVC is the additional space and privacy we get when the kids are sleeping in another room...I really prefer the feel of a hotel room over a studio.

For what it's worth this was our mentality for buying in and how much we bought in: our last 10 years of trips have been once a year and sometimes twice a year. 2 years ago we went 3 times after we had our daughter. She was 13 months, then 16 months, and then 2 years old for those. Now we have my son who will be 1 year when we go again in June. We have always wanted to buy in but it was never the right time money wise. We built our home which took about 2 years so that time money was tied up. We had our daughter and that wan't a good time either. Then we had our son and this past year we really sat down and said we should do something. We r plowing room money into disney. We know we will go at least once a year with our family. We r a disney family and just always enjoy being there. We also want to be able to take my parents with us so I looked at the times of the years we usually go over the years and i figured out how many points i need for 2 trips at least a year, one with my parents if they want, and came up with 280 pts for our 2 trips a year with them once or maybe 3 on our own, or bank if we want for a larger trip the following year. we knew that the manual dues for the 280 are doable for us along with annual passes and all the other stuff.
This we know for sure when we made a decision:
We know we r going every year no matter if able so the room discount we will save helps.
We thought about it long and hard and made sure the time was right to put down all the money in one shot and it's done. We said we wouldn't go through with it until then.
We made sure the big things in our lives we set in motion first, home, saving for college for both the kids, and our future for retirement. When all those things lined up and we were still making all monthly payments for the house and life and still able to save for the future also along with everything else we said yes.
That took us 10 years to get to that comfort point.
Sorry if that was drawn out but its how we handled it for us. Everyone is different and there really isn't any right or wrong answer I think.

I like two beds in a room or a single king, not a bed and a pull out. I like daily housekeeping. I have no need for a kitchenette in a hotel room. I like the big daybeds at the Poly.
So what makes DVC worthwhile for us is the kids in a different room, the washer and dryer, and a stove - we don't use the microwave. A DVC studio wouldn't add value, it would only remove it for us. A DVC one bedroom removes value, but adds other value other places.
But other people, like you, find the DVC studios an improvement over deluxe rooms.

If you're an individual investor, day trader, or just new to the stock market, all the press coverage around algorithms and high frequency trading in the equity markets might feel intimidating, if not frightening. Why do companies race to have their algorithms trade nano seconds faster? What happened in the "flash crash"? How can a long standing trading firm lose $450 million in 45 minutes because of one bug in their code?
This class is for those who want to learn how modern markets use computerized trading, and what this new landscape means for you, an individual investor. As someone who both designed and managed automated computer trading systems, I will explain broadly how these strategies work, and what you should change, if anything, in your investing/trading approach.
Computerized high frequency trading is a topic that is for the most part completely misunderstood. While ostensibly complex, the purpose of HFT is to fulfill a basic function that has been around for centuries. I'll explain why for the average investor, HFT is not a zero sum game, and why for most market participants, high frequency trading can be beneficial. I'll go over the history of how computerized trading developed, how modern day firms think about it, why it makes money, and more. After this class, you will have an excellent grasp of what these systems do and what the strengths and weaknesses are.
Conference room in my apartment building
635 West 42nd Street
New York, NY
The first phase of the class will consist of ascertaining experience (if any, none is needed) in investing and trading. We'll get a sense of how everyone in the session thinks about markets. With everyone having a diversity of goals and strategies with investing, I will design the material to be relevant to everyone.
The bulk of the class will be primarily a lecture with handouts and examples that will make the material concrete.
Afterwards, discussion of the subject among all participants will be heavily encouraged.
Topics will include:
7:00 pm - 8:30 pm EDTAdd to Cal
I've worked at some of the largest banks and hedge funds in the world. My experience includes analyzing fundamental credit and equity investments, equity derivatives, and most recently as a trader at Goldman Sachs where I developed, traded, and risk managed successful high frequency trading strategies.
I received two degrees from MIT, where I studied a combination of theoretical math, computer science, and finance. I taught several finance seminars at MIT, and enjoy teaching anyone who wants to learn about all aspects of finance, both theoretical and practical.

Education at the Heart of Change in Nagoya
4 February 2008
Nagoya City, Japan, has unveiled plans to re-develop the city's botanic garden and zoo. Environmental education is at the heart of this project which will initially involve the creation of a large glasshouse to showcase how animals and plants interact and exist together in a range of habitats.
The approach will later be extended outside the glasshouse to other sections of the garden and zoo where more naturalistic habitats will be created. Construction will take two years and the aim is to open the glasshouse to the public in 2012. This ambitious 10 year project will involve a total redevelopment of the area including the secondary woodlands to the north of the botanic garden and zoo.

Visit his new website at www.gwynnepugh-us.com.
ra: What kinds of projects are you working on?
gp: I'm very interested in urban design, in how public architecture and developer architecture interact in the built environment. I'm working with various cities in California on a consulting basis: San Diego's Centre City Development Corp., and the cities of Long Beach, Carson, and Santa Monica. Also, a project for Santa Monica College has been delayed and will be resuming in a few months. I'm continuing to work on affordable housing, collaborating with Michael Folonis [FAIA] on a project.
ra: At Gwynne Pugh Urban Studio, what are you hoping to focus on?
gp: I'm looking to expand more to interacting with cities. What's really interesting is this place in between planning and architecture. I'm trying to see how cities can maximize what they've got, how they can contribute to the life of the city. Before things are cast in stone, there can be a real discussion about how they can set about that and become more of an interactive place.
ra: How does that discussion relate to sustainable design?
gp: A lot of people complain about the quality of their urban environment. There's been a greater recognition that it's not just about what's built on the site—it's about how it comes together. As we improve the quality of life and work toward a more urbanistic experience, it ties into the issue of sustainability as well. You're not getting into a car. In a large building with a lot of other units, you're not having as much heat loss and gain.
ra: As a member of the Santa Monica Planning Commission, can you tell us about the commission's recent endeavors?
gp: The commission just finished six years of working on land use and circulation policies. We tried to coordinate them. We've been awarded by the state for that plan. One of the nuggets of it is, no new net increase in traffic in the afternoon rush hour—any development created needs to redirect its own traffic. And the city needs to work to reduce its own traffic as well. Finally we're getting a light rail system coming in—that will help. And we have quite a good bus service. We're also looking at bicycle service and of course pedestrianism. We're looking at having activity nodes within a ¼-mile radius. That's all part of the traffic aspect. Historically, a lot of cities have tried to encourage any kind of development. But that doesn't necessarily make for a very functional city. We're trying to change those attitudes and think about it in a holistic way.

Pin It
Enjoy a nice head start by starting with a gardenia topiary--glance out your window and there it is, the glossy foliage and aromatic flowers four feet off the ground, no need to step outside to enjoy your new beauty. No need to plant straight into the ground either, as gardenias do quite well in container on porch or patio, just be sure to use high quality potting soil and a container with drainage holes. Gardenia August Beauty is highly prized for its profusion of sweetly fragrant double blooms, excellent for cut flowers. Evergreen. Full to partial sun. Clip to maintain current topiary shape. Best planted close to outdoor living spaces in heavy ceramic pots or raised planters to enjoy the lovely fragrance. Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. Shipped in its original soil and container. Hardy to USDA zone 8 and all higher zones.

So today is my first day back at work in three weeks. It was a good three weeks, and I'd love to have more, but alas...have to get back to work, especially if we are to leave this 9th circle of hell this summer.
I actually slept last night, can you believe it? Me either. I woke up a bunch and had a horrific nightmare the last time, but I still feel refreshed and ready to dive back into
But I better get up and get going! I will be around the blogs and stuff later, I hope.

Ke$ha released the new album called Warrior on 4 December 2012.
"When I came onto the scene I was just a wild party animal. I was broke, but I had a totally uninhibited and carefree lifestyle. I was so naïve: at the beginning; I had no idea what I was in for. I was, in a sense, animal. I'm still an animal, but I've also learned a lot along the way," she said. "Seeing people all over the world sing words that I wrote back to me, when we don't even speak the same language, was a powerful experience. It really made me want to think hard about every word on this album and make sure that everything that I wrote was positive."

I am doing some additional experiments with Haskell and web development. In this post, I am looking at the problem of composability for web pages.
I have tested different methods for building a web page and what I don't like is the lack of composability. When I look at most web pages, I see several components with their own state and control flow. But, when I build a web page from those components, the composability on the server side (for the request handlers) is less obvious.
If you read my previous post, you'll be interested by this one. Indeed, I have discovered that the idea introduced in the previous post is working but not practical at all since it does not work with type synonym definitions. But, without synonyms, you can't really write the kind of types required to do http content-type comparison at the type level. By luck, some additional type hacking is solving the problem. Moreover, I think it can be useful to show in a very informal way a few applications of computations at type level. It is not so hard (but not totally trivial. I had to make several experiments to get it right).
In my last post, I was writing about the use of coproduct of free monads to do content-type dispatching in a web monad. It was working but it was not the right approach. I changed everything and introduced a lattice of lists at the type level to track hierarchical dependencies between formats and do content-type dispatching thanks to type information. I also added a few other features to my Web Monad.
From time to time, I continue my experiments with Haskell and web development and try to build my own framework. I will never release anything because I am just exploring a few ideas.
Recently, I experimented with a common problem : when a client is getting an URL, it is communicating the formats it wants with some preference values. The server should return the best format according to what is requested by the client and what is supported by the server.
I am pleased to release a new version of my PDF library for Haskell and an example showing what's possible with the library : a magazine generated in an automatic way with Haskell.
The parsing for the magazine has not yet been debugged totally and the image layout algorithm is currently very simple. The text formatting in columns is not always ok because I have not yet implemented an hyphenation algorithm. But, the result, still in beta, is good.

The long awaited Highway
78 widening project between
Bamberg and Denmark may
finally become a reality.
Bamberg County Council
District One Councilman Chris
Wilson, reported at council's
Monday night meeting that the
(LSCOG) transportation
committee will meet at 10 a.m.
on May 11 in the Bamberg
County Library and a
groundbreaking ceremony for
the long- anticipated Highway
78 widening project will be held
immediately after the meeting.
Wilson said there will not
be four lanes widening between
Bamberg and Denmark, but
there will be a widening of five
lanes out past the Denmark
Technical College turnoff. The
highway will then narrow to two
lanes with six-foot shoulders all
the way to Bamberg, with some
different areas for truck pull-offs
and will also provide for bike
$3.5 million dollars has
been earmarked through Rep.
Jim Clyburns office for the
initial phase of the project and It
is anticipated that additional
funds will be earmarked in the
near future to complete the
entire project.
In other business:
Council members gave
first reading approval in title
only to a proposed ordinance to
adopt a budget of $ 7,552,350
million dollars for the fiscal year
beginning July 1, 2010 and
ending June 30, 2010.
Council members gave
approval to a proposed
resolution creating a
commission to select capital
improvement projects to be
funded by a proposed local one
penny sales tax. County
Administrator Rose Dobson-
Elliott said working with current
data, the penny sales tax would
bring in approximately
$419,000 the first year and
$559,000 the second year. May
5 would be the deadline for the
appointment of commission
members by municipality and
also for council members to
appoint three members to the
Bamberg County Hospital
Principal Administrator Carl
Menist reported that the hospital
had a good month in February
with a profit of $325,000. Year-to-date the hospital has shown a
profit of $412,000.Menist noted
the profit is due in large part to
the management of expenses
and substantial bad debt
recovery of $350,000 to
$400,000 for the month of
February. Cash collections in
February were $2.15 million.
Menist said the Swing Bed
unit has shown improvement
starting in March with just under
five patients per day and the last
15 days has averaged 6 to 7
patients per day.
The following roads were
added to the county
maintenance list under the
condition that the property
owners provide an easement to
the county by July 1, 2010 or
they will be removed from the
list: Grassy Road, Shad Road,
Zig Zag Road and Rose Bud
Council members heard a
report from Bamberg County
Litter Control Board Chairman
Ted Robertson who reported
that the litter board sponsored a
Poster Contest in the schools in
the county this year and received
over 600 entries. The board also
donated supplies to 21 people
for the Great American Cleanup
Day on Saturday March 27th.
Heard a report from
Chuck Milliken of the Mary
Ann Morris Animal Shelter
(MAMAS) who stated that the
agency has placed over 100
animals and spayed or neutered
100 others. The agency is
requesting a budget of $30,000
this year, which is an increase of
$5,000 from last year. Milliken
noted that the bulk of the
shelters money comes from
donations and the countys
contribution is quite small.
Council members heard a
report from County Finance
Director Thomas Thomas who
stated that the county has
collected year-to-date 75 percent
of its estimated budgeted
revenue after the first eight
months of the fiscal year in the
amount of $5,669,327. Total
expenditures stood at $5,546,488.

The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey announced a temporary weekend ferry between lower Manhattan and Jersey City.
For the next six weekends, the Port Authority says a ferry will travel between the Paulus Hook Terminal and the World Financial Center Terminal.
The trip is expected to take seven minutes and will cost $2.50 each way, with children under 5 riding for free.
They say the service is for weekend PATH riders because the Exchange Place and World Trade Center PATH Stations will be closed most weekends in 2014 for projects including post-Sandy clean-up, track repairs, and safety work.
The Port Authority says the program will end May 4, unless they decide ridership has been successful enough to continue.

|> back to statements
Mr. President, Honorable Ministers, ladies and gentlemen, a pleasant day to all of you.
It is a great honor for me to speak at this High Level Thematic Debate session on Climate Change in behalf of the Philippine government and the Filipino people as concurrent Secretary of the Department of Energy and Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on Climate Change.
As a developing country, the Philippines accounts for a miniscule share of global greenhouse gas emissions. Yet as a tropical archipelago located in both the typhoon belt and the Pacific Rim's so-called "ring of fire", our country counts among the most highly vulnerable to the effects of global warming. It is for this reason that we welcome this initiative of the United Nations to host a thematic debate on climate change. As a member of the Group of 77 and China, this statement is also aligned with the concerns that will be presented by our distinguished colleague from Antigua and Barbuda this morning.
To start with, I wish to echo the statement made by UN General Assembly President Srgjan Kerim that we need "a common vision, a global consensus, a global alliance for action" for, clearly, an issue like climate change cannot be addressed by individual nations on their own nor even by an institution as broad-based as the United Nations.
If indeed scientific consensus has been reached that human activity is the main cause of global warming, then our planet would be best served by the moral suasion of the United Nations in affirming this consensus and working toward the fulfillment of national commitments to halt, if not reverse, the tragic trajectory of climate change.
Over lunch yesterday, Sir Richard Branson stressed the preeminent need for scientific action in light of the reality that mitigation and adaptation strategies would do nothing to thin the layer of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, which are already pushing global temperatures on a precariously upward path as we speak. This opens up another potential for UN intervention, perhaps as the custodian of an international fund to activate research by a multinational group of scientists to develop a gas or a sophisticated sequestration process that can restore the balance in our atmosphere to pre-industrial levels.
To preclude the notion that a scientific silver bullet can save humankind from the ill effects of its largely unsustainable development track, however, we cannot downplay the importance of the mitigation and adaptation strategies—and the requisite technology and financing interventions—that are outlined in the Bali Roadmap.
The UN—along with other international, development partners—is ideally positioned to facilitate the flow of mitigation and adaptation technologies and resources to vulnerable developing states in particular. As a corollary benefit, such interventions afford countries like ours the chance to minimize—if not leapfrog—carbon-driven technologies on our way to higher stages of industrialization and development.
Yesterday's discussions drew consensus on the need for partnership, based on good faith, solidarity and scientific knowledge, at every level. We seem to agree that each of us has to reach out—in a deliberate and systematic manner—to the private sector, to civil society, to local governments, to communities, to development partners and to one another if we are to make the collective impact that we all desire.
What seems to be lacking is a sense of urgency that cuts evenly across all these levels of partnership. Between the ranks of alarmed international scientists and the legions of passionate non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is a spectrum of stakeholders with varying degrees of appreciation of the climate change problem and what needs to be done about it. Of these "ambivalent" stakeholders in any state, the most critical would be the government, the private sector and vulnerable communities.
Governments are typically caught between competing priorities. In the developing world, sparse government resources tend to be focused on meeting people's basic needs, making it necessary to align the UN's Millennium Development Goals with the global climate change response agenda. In addition, many in the public sector still have to overcome the reluctance to engage other sectors, particularly those that might be critical of government or the work pace of bureaucracies.
In the private sector, on the other hand, many companies have yet to be convinced of the wisdom of the triple bottom line. In spite of the growing receptiveness of corporations in general to planetary concerns, a critical mass of CEOs has yet to subscribe to the view that profits can only be sustained over the long term if a company looks after delivering social and environmental benefits at the same time. But Ms. Fionna Harvey of the Financial Times raised an interesting point about shareholders exerting pressure on companies to place climate change concerns prominently on the corporate agenda. As Mr. Timothy Wirth, our debate moderator, pointed out, this underscores the emerging role of key stakeholders as political actors, bearing strong voices of advocacy.
Communities, like governments are beset by competing priorities. Climate change, while a very serious global concern, still has to be translated into concrete issues that would make it relevant to specific stakeholders—such as vulnerable island communities and marginal farmers—and stir them to act with a sense of purpose and urgency.
This is where NGOs, as ubiquitous links to grassroots stakeholders, fit perfectly into the picture. In addition, as Mr. Martin Khor of the Third World Network underscored, they inject the dynamics of activism that push governments—national and local—to sort out their priorities and that keep corporations transparent and consistent to the principles which these firms espouse.
I believe that one of the most potent formulas for success on any development agenda is to combine the authority and structure of government, the resources and enterprise of the private sector and the passion and persistence of civil society. This triumvirate, working in harmony, constitutes a formidable platform for sustainable local action. For this reason, our climate change response framework in the Philippines explicitly brings in social mobilization as a vital dimension that complements the mandatory interventions in mitigation, adaptation, technology and financing. This is anchored on the premise that we need to secure the buy-in of key stakeholders to make sure that programs can be broadly co-owned and sustained.
Our experience in mobilizing these key partners has been very encouraging. Just last week, we concluded a very successful, multi-sector Philippine Energy Summit, which was convened by the Department of Energy at the behest of our President, Her Excellency Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, to assess how the recent spike in the international price of crude oil would impact on our economy and on vulnerable sectors in particular and to recommend the appropriate short-, medium- and long-term responses. The summit challenged the stakeholders to judge whether this situation spelled crisis or opportunity on the Philippine horizon. The overwhelming view that surfaced was that the seeming point of crisis had taken us to the threshold of a new era of unprecedented opportunity to fast-track plans to develop renewable and climate-friendly energy sources as a way of insulating our country from the effects of future oil price shocks.
Through the Summit, we have secured commitments from key legislators that our Renewable Energy Bill will be passed within the first quarter of this year. This comes on the heels of the passage last year of the Biofuels Act, which constitutes a potent platform for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the transport sector. The results of the Summit have bolstered our confidence that we can achieve our long-term goal of energy independence and energy security through the aggressive development and utilization of the Philippines' vast renewable energy resources.
Already, one out of every five light bulbs in our country is powered by geothermal energy, and we are aiming to become the number one geothermal producer in the world within the next 10 years. With the help of other key stakeholders, we also expect to make significant strides in developing our hydro, wind, solar and biomass energy resources as well. In the area of energy demand management, our
President has mandated the phase-out of all incandescent bulbs in the Philippines and their replacement with compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) by the end of 2009, making the Philippines the second Asia-Pacific country after Australia to embark on such a groundbreaking initiative. Clearly, none of this would be possible without sustained social mobilization and the support of development partners like the UN, the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank.
Yesterday, the United Nations, along with its member agencies, recognized the need to integrate disparate efforts to help states mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. This is a timely call for purposeful convergence that should encompass other international development partners extending technical and financial assistance in this field as well. It would be a great tragedy if we fail to arrive at a coherent response to a problem spawned by wasteful human practices simply because we squandered the abundant resources available to meet the global challenge. It seems incumbent upon the United Nations to seize that role of aligning priorities and programs within a holistic framework, while being mindful of institutional boundaries and mandates, to guarantee efficiency and strategic impact in the allocation of resources.
I propose that the UN convene a high-level meeting of all international development agencies for precisely this purpose. In this manner, the contours of the Bali Roadmap can be more clearly defined in terms of street signs, demarcating lines of responsibility and commitment across program areas and across regions and states, while surfacing interventional gaps. It is even conceivable that an information technology giant like Google, Yahoo or Microsoft would willingly provide the engine by which to map out the whole range of available technology and financing options in real time, side by side with the evolving demand picture at the global, regional and national levels. If such a virtual market for climate-oriented interventions can be pulled off, that would be a partnership made in planetary heaven.
Thank you very much.

Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap is a LDAP adapter for the Zend_Auth that should authenticate users from a LDAP connection.
Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap is a LDAP adapter for the Zend_Auth that should authenticate users from a LDAP connection.
4. Dependencies on Other Framework Components
5. Theory of Operation
The Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap will simply try to find the provided user login into the LDAP directory.
Using the found user information, it will try to connect and bind using the selected user information and provided password. If the bind succeeds, the authentication is ok. Otherwise, the authentication fails.
In Both cases, a Zend_Auth_Result will be returned.
If provided into the configuration settings, a bind user and password will be used for searching the user information into the LDAP directory. Otherwise, the Zend_Auth_Adapter_Ldap will try to connect anonymously.
If any technical problem occurs (LDAP not present, etc) the authentication will fail and a Zend_Auth_Adapter_Exception will be fired.
The available parameters are :
- 'host' : mandatory, the host IP or servername. Multiple hosts may be added, coma separated. This is a feature of the PHP LDAP extension : if the first host is not available, the extension will try to silently connect to the next one (PHP LDAP API feature).
- 'port' : the port of the LDAP service. Default to 389
- 'url' : alternative connection string (see ldap_connect). Will be preferred to the 'host' if provided
- 'protocol_version' : The LDAP protocol version. Default is V3
- 'bind_dn' : superuser bind username. This is used to browse the LDAP directory to get the user information
- 'bind_pw' : superuser bind password.
- 'base_dn' : base LDAP path to start searching for the user information
- 'user_dn' : user part of the LDAP path. This will be prepended to base_dn when searching for the user information (Default:'')
- 'user_oc' : the ObjectClass on which the user login will be searched for (default :posixAccount,ActiveDirectory: user)
- 'user_attr': the attributes that correspond to the user login (default: UID, ActiveDirectory : SamAccounName)
- 'group_dn' : the DN of a group the authenticated user should be member of. If the user is authenticated against the LDAP, but is not member of the specified group, the authentication will fail (not implemented yet).
Moreover, some parameters allow special features of MS Active Directory:
- 'use_direct_bind' : use only a direct bind with the username and password (this will require a NT domain).
- 'domain' : prepend a domain to the username
- 'use_domain_from_email' : if the username is formatted as an email, parse the username to get the login + the domain
The direct bind will be a faster alternative when using a Active Directory authentication.
The constructor will take 3 arguments :
- the username
- the password provided by the enduser, and
- the config array : holds all stable configuration information.
This will let the developer instanciate the config array from another source like Zend_Config, and simply change the transient information, coming from the login form (username and password).
Expected Exceptions (throw a Zend_Auth_Adapter_Exception):
- username null or empty (message : 'Username, Password and Host must be set before calling ')
- password null or empty (message : 'Username, Password and Host must be set before calling ')
- host config null or empty (message : 'Username, Password and Host must be set before calling ')
- Ldap extension not present (message :'Ldap extension is not properly loaded')
Expected Zend_Auth_Result::FAILURE : (these are problems)
- Ldap connection failed (message : 'ldap_connect failed');FAILURE
- Ldap bind failed (anlonymously or not) (message : 'ldap-bind failed') FAILURE
- Ldap search failed (search of the username into the Ldap) (Message : 'ldap_search failed') FAILURE
Expected Authentication failure (wrong user information)
- Ldap get entries failed (fetch data from Ldap)(message: 'ldap_get_entries failed') FAILURE_IDENTITY_NOT_FOUND
- Invalid username or password (message : 'Authentication failed, username or password invalid') FAILURE_CREDENTIAL_INVALID
- zero or more than 1 match for this user (message : 'ldap_get_entries return 0 or too many entries') FAILURE_IDENTITY_AMBIGUOUS
Open questions
- I figure out here that the constructor AND the authenticate() methods may throw Exceptions. If this is a problem, I can move those exceptions to the authenticate() methods. Maybe this will be more compliant?
Well I see that the Zend_Auth_Adapter_Http constructor also throw some exceptions...
- I still do not know what is the impact of authenticate() on a previously existing ldap connection. Is the existing connection reused or not? To be tested
- Does the Adapter need to provide a storage of the authenticated Identity? I guess not but I may be missing this point in the doc.
6. Milestones / Tasks
- Milestone 1: design notes will be published here
- Milestone 2: A working prototype is currently tested. We need to add support for groups.
