Museum Confers National Acclaim on Labeez.org Contributor
An artwork by Labeez.org contributor Sam Hassan has been chosen for the permanent collection of the Arab American National Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
Hassan serves as a correspondent for Labeez.org in addition to his duties as art director for the Los Angeles Garment & Citizen, a member publication of the website. Hassan also designed the logo for Labeez.org.
Directors of the Arab American National Museum recently selected Hassan's artwork — a 40-inch-by-40-inch ornamental painting in the Ancient Arabesque style that he counts as a specialty — along with several others by artists who responded to a national call for entries.
The artwork highlights the Arabic phrase "Ahlan wa Sahlan," which translates to welcome, in English. Variations of the phrase are commonly heard by visitors to homes where Arabic is spoken. The artistic interpretations of the phrase will be prominently displayed as a greeting for visitors to the museum.
Hassan is a native of Jablah, Syria, who several years ago emigrated to the Los Angeles area, where he now lives with his wife, Jessica, and the couple's two-year-old son, Zain. He is a recent graduate of Los Angeles Trade-Technical College, where he earned an associates degree in Visual Communications/Graphic Design.
Hassan describes Ancient Arabesque as a genre that "takes inspiration from nature, combining symmetrical designs with rich, natural colors and using a unique blend of materials to emboss elements of the designs to create a dynamic texture."
Hassan said that that he is "honored and humbled" by the Arab American National Museum's selection of his work, adding that he seeks to create art that offers common ground for all.
"Ancient Arabesque holds the capability of communicating that we are equal as human beings who are able to respect differences among us," Hassan said. "I hope that my art will help us see differences as a means to enrich our lives rather than a reason to fall into conflict."
The selection of Hassan's artwork is the latest recognition for his Ancient Arabesque creations. The American Friends Service Committee, also known as the Quakers, recently highlighted Hassan's work at an exhibit titled "Colors of the Arab World" and offered for public viewing at the organization's offices in Downtown Los Angeles. A selection jury at the University of St. Thomas more recently chose two of Hassan's pieces for an exhibit titled "Sabeel: Artistic Journeys from Arab Lands to America." The exhibit is scheduled to run from March 8 to May 24 at St. Thomas University's campus in St. Paul, Minnesota. More information on Hassan's art is available at his website at www.samhassanart.com.

The Fujifilm X-E2 is the second generation of the company's mid-range mirrorless camera. It features a 16MP X-Trans CMOS II sensor that gains on-sensor phase detection over the one used in previous models. A unique digital-split-image focus aid (introduced in the X100S) and a 1.04m dot LCD are the major changes - the X-E2 is mainly about handling and operations tweaks. The camera shoots at speeds of up to 7 fps and can record video at 1080/60p with AF tracking. The X-E2 also features built-in Wi-Fi, which allows for easy photo sharing via your mobile device.

The X-E2 is a highly capable enthusiast-focused camera capable of producing excellent images. Direct control dials and plenty of customization make for an engaging shooting experience, and its output is impressive. Wi-Fi and in-camera raw conversion make it easy to share images. It's only the lackluster video that disappoints.

All the Right Moves...
The X-E2, combined with the XF 23mm f/1.4 R, is simply stunning in build,performance, and IQ. This combo is the interchangeable (14 total lens) and robust version of Fuji's wildly popular X100S. Fuji will soon make available their XF 10-24mm f/4.0 R OIS zoom (with stabilization) for landscape and XF 56mm f/1.2 R for serious portrait work.
Comparing the Fuji X-E2 and a Canon 5D Mark III
This is truly an amazing camera! Bravo to Fuji !
Another truly amazing product from Fuji. After having used X-E1 for around a year or so, sudden rise of X-E2 caught many already X-E1 users with great surprise and dilemma. The dilemma for the loyal Fuji users was whether to immediately upgrade our own X-E1s to the newer one or not. But as there really such huge improvements that I couldn't resist the temptation any more and got one. I must say that this camera s truly a marvel and it is worth every penny. For here I want to send a message to ...

Questions & Answers
X-M1 versus other X-camera's
Does the image quality of the X-M1 level the image quality of the X-E1 or X-E2 ? Other question that i have related to the X-M1 : The X-M1 doesn't have a dedicated manual focus button. Now when the 23mm lens is attached and you pull the manual focus ring on the lens will the X-M1 switch automatically from autofocus to manual focus or do you have to dive into the menu to switch the focus mode ?
I recently purchased an X-M1. I regularly use an X-100. I have the opinion that the sensor is "essentially" equivalent to the X-E2 and the processor to the X-E1. I understand that the X-E2 uses some of it's "pixels" to aid in focus so it's likely faster in that regard than the X-M1. I would be surprised if the IQ of the X-M1 were to be substantially different from the X-E2. The X-M1 has a reduced set of film simulations but the ones it has are quite good, as expected. These are JPG simulations. I regularly use the "back-focus" on the X-100 and it's not available on the X-M1. However the X-M1 has a Fn button on top which is programmable. The choice I made for this button is Manual Focus so I've found a suitable-substitute for the X-100's back focus button. (it manual focuses but not lock exposure) Continue Reading
According to the website of Fuji the X-E2 has a CMOS II sensor, the X-M1 a CMOS sensor. Are we talking about the same sensor ? Continue Reading
No, they are not the same sensor. X-M1 sensor only supports contrast detect auto focus X-E2 sensor supports both contrast detect auto focus and phase detect auto focus Continue Reading
Is X-trans sensor adequate for landscapes?
Hi there, I'm currently a Canon DSLR user, mainly photographing mountaineering/hiking. I got fed up with the bulk of the 17-40L and the DSLR itself and started to look for a smaller solution. I narrowed down my research to Sony A6000 with the crap kitlens and Fuji X-E2 with firmware 2.00. My question goes here: I read all the praising reviews of the Fuji X-trans sensor, and how amazing the kitlens is. But then I stumbled across this page: http://www.michalography.com/blog/2014/5/31/the-fujifilm-x-e2-a-landscape-photographers-perspective.html He states that Fuji cannot handle small details and the pictures are "painting like". His pictures in his post are indeed intolerably smudged. Then I started to verify if other sources are the same, and indeed here are sample photoes with the X-E1, and similarly sumdged and painting like: http://www.photozone.de/fuji_x/783-fuji1855f284?start=2 Then the DPreview photo gallery is similarly bad with the landscapes: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/f ...
No, what I needed was to see what was achievable when properly developed, as the helpful people above pointed out. Perhaps what you need are some basic social skills. Much harder to teach. Continue Reading
I love the Fuji X-Trans cameras for landscapes and find the image quality very good. As someone who spends a lot of time in the backcountry, the Fuji's have literally and fundamentally changed how I approach landscape photography now. I find the incredibly light and well-built system allows me to really be free and explore the landscape. I rarely use a tripod now unless I need it for moving water or another specific purpose. Here's one I took a couple days ago while out on a hike with the X-T1 and 55-200 XF lens, handheld at 1/25th of a second f/11 ISO 400. The OIS is really that good. I find very few problems with Lightroom processing RAWs and have tried other software but find I achieve better results in Lightroom and Photoshop and like the workflow I have established. This image processed in LR and finished in Photoshop. When I think of how Galen Rowell approached photography, I'm pretty sure he would be going fast and light carrying a Fuji X-T1. Gore Range Mountains, ... Continue Reading
Actually, IMO, the Fuji OOC JPGs are actually a little better as far as detail rendering than OOC JPGs from Canon cameras. There is no choice in my mind to use RAW for Canons...the difference is huge. It's not necessarily an issue with XTrans, but rather an issue with internal JPG processing to keep the speed up at the expense of detail rendering. But I agree that Adobe needs to step up their game for the xtrans array pattern. It's OK for many uses, but fine landscape shooting isn't one of them. Continue Reading
Are you interested in dynamic range measurements on Fujifilm cameras?
My name is Bill Claff and for several years I have been measuring Photographic Dynamic Range (PDR) and other sensor characteristics. Initially I started with Nikon cameras and I also have a fair amount of Canon data. Recently I obtained measurements for the X-E2 and I'm expecting X-E1 data shortly. PDR is analogous to DxoMark Landscape Dynamic Range but on a different scale. Since DxoMark publishes so few Fujifilm measurements I suspect my PDR data would be of interest. But my Interactive PDR Chart (D3 and D700) is getting crowded and I don't want to bother with another brand, like Fujifilm, unless there is interest (and data gathering support). So let me know two things: 1) Do you want to see Fujifilm PDR values integrated into the data at my site? 2) Would you be willing to help me by providing raw files to my specification for analysis.
I have added X-E2 data to my Interactive PDR Chart (This link preselects the X-E2, D3, and D700 cameras.) The "tail" on the X-E2 data is due to Fujifilm "cooking" the high ISO raw data. Continue Reading
People don't necessarily know and certainly not in any objective way. That's one way such data is used. Another is when considering an upgrade to have some idea how a new camera would compare with one's current camera. Continue Reading
With all due respect, Bill, the more I look at your results, the less confidence I have in them. I think you've got a basic problem with the test methodology which basically invalidates the results. Hear me out and then let me know if I'm misreading or misinterpreting something. My first concern with the validity of your results is that you have cameras that should have very different dynamic ranges all basically falling on top of themselves, including the OMD-EM5 (m43), D7000 (APSC) and D600 (FF.) By theory we should about a one stop advantage between them and it isn't there. Second, the results of the X-E2, at ISO3200 & ISO6400, are way off and you dismiss them by saying Fuji cooks the books. They can only cook the books if the books are cookable, which is a big problem right there. But more concerning is you only know Fuji's results are cooked because the results are so obviously cooked. The question I have is who is cooking the books just a tiny bit and invalidating your ... Continue Reading

Two companies have imported games with BL themes into the US. One closed down. The other hasn't released a new BL game since 2006.
As of today I've removed the games category on our store site. Sales no longer justify the minimum orders we would have to place with the manufacturer to keep the games in stock. I know the remaining company I buy from is still selling copies of it's first print run of the game. This is typically only 5,000 copies.
At every convention I attend I hear one or two customers point to one of the games and say, 'Oh, I downloaded this one.' I don't have an emotional response to this sort of thing anymore since it's so common. There was a time in the 1990s when I didn't know better either (bought a fansub on VHS). However, I did get angry when one of my own employees gave out the link to a piracy site.
I really thought that BL games were going to be the next big thing. I wanted to see the library of imports grow as big as the BL DVD library has. Both categories have stunted growth due piracy. For the fledgling game category I wonder if it hasn't been killed outright. How can I blame other publishers for turning down imports when I did the same? I could be offered Lamento, a BL game hot enough in the USA to have the figures rapidly sell out at every convention, but I would have to say no. I know I wouldn't make back the licensing, translation, distribution, and production costs when I may lose around 50% of sales to thieves.
One go-around to the piracy problem would be a BL Massively Multiplayer Online Game. That's something I'd love to see. Perhaps it's something we could investigate.

October marks National Dyslexia Month, and a new documentary called "The Big Picture: Re-Thinking Dyslexia" shines a new light on the learning disability. NY1 Parenting Correspondent Shelly Goldberg filed the following report.
There's never been a better time to be dyslexic than now, and director James Redford just might be onto something.
Redford's new film, "The Big Picture: Re-thinking Dyslexia", explores the learning disability which affects up to 20 percent of students. It greatly impacts a person's reading abilities and other areas of learning but Redford says it may, in fact, be a gift.
"When you come up against a sort of neurological roadblock as you're learning language and how to read, it is within the human capacity to sort of find other branches to pursue, to get to the end result in different ways. And it's in that branching out and being multi-sensory and finding different ways to solve problems than the conventional ways that the dyslexics start to excel," says Redford.
Speaking of excel, the documentary points to the extraordinary lives of investment pioneer Charles Schwab and global entrepreneur Richard Branson, just two successes on a long list of notable dyslexics.
Another notable dyslexic in Redford's life? is his own son.
"He's always been an amazing artist, and he really had wonderful skills with drawing and yet his handwriting skills were almost illegible," says Redford. "And I think when families are looking for how to get their kids through school it's important to say, 'Well what else are you besides dyslexic? What other interests do you have?' The world isn't just about reading and writing and trying to overcome your struggle with that. You'll find areas where you'll actually thrive."
Redford also has some great advice for those who see their dyslexia as a liability.
"Instead of saying, 'I'm stupid', or, 'There's something wrong with me', they can say, 'Oh I have dyslexia, and it means I struggle with this, but I may just be good at that,'" says Redford.
The HBO documentary "The Big Picture: Re-thinking Dyslexia" debuts Monday, October 29 at 7 p.m.

Trevor Bayne, driver of the No. 60 "We Back Pat" Ford Mustang in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, is honoring former University of Tennessee women's basketball coach Pat Summitt this weekend with a special paint scheme. Bayne, a Knoxville native, spoke to members of the media this morning in the Bristol Motor Speedway infield media center about racing in his home state.
HOW DO YOU FEEL COMING BACK TO BRISTOL? "I'm really excited to be back at Bristol. It's our home track and there's no better color to run here than Tennessee orange, so it's a perfect fit with Pat Summitt being on the car and really just raising awareness for her and Alzheimer's with the situation she has going on, but I feel honored that I get to represent Pat Summitt. Hopefully, I can do as good as she's done representing the Vols for, I don't even know how many years, 30-40 years she's been doing it, so it's pretty special. But the last time we were here at Bristol we had a really fast race car. We qualified second and led the race for a long time. We had some pit strategy that didn't work out for us at the end and we ended up finishing eighth, so I think we can definitely improve on that. I'm looking to go out there and try to get our first Nationwide win of the year. This potentially could be our last Nationwide race of the season. I'm not sure about that. I've been trying to talk Jack into a lot more at the end of this season since he's wanting to run the full-time series next year for a championship with me in the car. I'd like to get my feet wet at the end of the season and get some momentum going. I think that would be a good thing to do, just to get a feel for the Nationwide cars again because they are a little different than the Cup cars, but I'm excited to get that roll started back here at Bristol. It's kind of weird being parked on this end of pit road. I haven't done that since my first Nationwide race in the Taco Bell car. Normally we're down there with the other guys, but it'll still be good and we've hopefully got a fast race car."
WHAT WAS IT LIKE WHEN YOUR TEAM SHUT DOWN AFTER THE THIRD RACE HERE AT BRISTOL? YOU WERE AROUND THIRD IN POINTS AT THAT TIME AND IS NEXT YEAR ALL LOCKED UP? "Yeah, from what I hear Jack is gonna run the car full-time, just like he planned on doing with Ricky this season. They didn't necessarily have sponsorship at first, but they planned on running it and anything that came in went to that car and, I think, that's probably what's gonna happen next year with Jack. They've told me that and it sounds like it's in concrete, but I'm sure things can still change before the season starts, but, as of now, we're gonna run full-time Nationwide next year.
"It is a little disheartening when you're third in points and you think you've got a run for a championship going even though it was a thrown-together deal. We still had a limited amount of people and hardly any cars in the shop. The car that we got ready for this race we got ready in a week. We took a Carl Edwards car from last year, stripped it down and got it back together in one week literally, so we've had a little bit more of a head start this time and I think that will help us here. We would have loved to run a full season this year. I still have never done that. Even though it seems like I've been around for so long in the Nationwide Series – three years now – I still never ran that one full season all the way through with one team and one group of guys and that's what I'm looking forward to next year. At first when they said that I was a little bit bummed out because I wanted them to come to me and say, 'Hey, we're gonna run you full-time in a Cup car with the fourth team,' and that didn't happen. But when I did find out I was running Nationwide and I thought about it, I thought that's probably a good decision to go out there and get that first full season under our belt in that series and work on running for points because I've done that a limited amount. I haven't got to go points racing and I think it would be good to get that under our belt before we go to that Cup level when it's gonna be even tougher to do that and get that experience."
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR ROLE DAY-TO-DAY WITH THE TEAM TO TRY AND FIND FUNDING AND CAN YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR REACTION TO RICKY GETTING THE 17 RIDE FOR NEXT YEAR? "That's the hard balance to find because I am excited for him. I think it's great and I think he deserves it because he's run really well in Nationwide. The hard part is I feel like we both deserve it a little bit, and there is a fourth team there so that's a good option that we have. It's not like they chose him over me or anything like that. It's a case where he's ready to move to Cup. I haven't run a full Nationwide deal yet, but with that being said, I'm happy for Ricky. I think it's gonna be a great opportunity for him to step into that 17 team that is already running, a team that's really strong, but, at the same time, I can't wait to get my opportunity in Cup. I think we could run competitively there every weekend. We do that even with the Wood Brothers car part-time. We go to Michigan and qualified sixth and ran in the top 10 and we've had a couple top-10s already this season, so doing that on a part-time schedule, I think those runs would turn into top fives if we were running full-time. If you can run like that, then you're a contender to get yourself into the Chase and run well in the Cup Series and make a name for yourself. But I've just got to be patient in the meantime for that. Next season is gonna be a great deal for Jack. He's gonna put everything he's got behind me, including sponsorship. This season, we knew that pretty much anything that came in would have to go to Ricky's car until it was funded because they were locked in to running him and I was locked in to the Wood Brothers car. So next year it will be exciting to see what partners we can come up with and I've still been beating on every door that I know of – everybody from Knoxville to Charlotte all the way across the coast to California, and those guys are doing the same thing. They're really working on our sales team at Roush. They've just added one new person to come in and head things up a little bit. This season, we have added more sponsors than we have in the past on the Nationwide side with NOS and those guys and also on the Cup side with Fifth Third Bank and Best Buy. I think they're really starting to grow a little bit more productively than they have before."
WHEN YOU LOBBIED JACK FOR MORE RACES HOW EFFECTIVE WAS THAT? "I think it does. Jack is the most influential one in the company and if you get him convinced that that's what you need to do, then it could happen, but I haven't really tried it yet so I don't know how it's gonna go. At the beginning of the season we talked to him about running full-time and hopefully we'd get sponsorship and he ended up doing that for the first five races in hopes that we would get sponsorship, so that wasn't me trying to convince him, that just made more sense and I think Jack understands that. I think he understands that running more races at the end of this season is gonna better prepare us for a championship next year. The same thing with Ricky running a couple more Cup races just to prepare him for that 17 car. Jack, as a racer, understands that seat time is necessary, so if he can possibly do it, I think if he can make ends meet at all and do that, I think he will just because he gets that."
YOU'RE STILL PLANNING ON DOING THE WOOD BROTHERS NEXT YEAR? "Yeah. I talked to Eddie and Len last weekend and they said that they told Jack, 'Hey, if everything is good, we would love to have Trevor back in our car.' We've built such a brand there and had such a good time running together and if I'm not gonna be in a full-time Roush car, then the next-best thing is running for the Wood Brothers."
YOU WOULD NEVER GIVE BACK YOUR DAYTONA VICTORY BUT DID WINNING THAT RACE SET UP AN UNREASONABLE EXPECTATIONS FOR YOUR OR THE FANS? "Maybe for the fans more than anybody in the sport. I think everybody in this sport understands how hard it is, especially for a part-time time. I think when we did that nobody expected us to go back and win the next race at Phoenix. If they did, I don't know what to tell them. I didn't even expect that. I knew that we could go out there and run top 10 and be competitive, but I do understand that if you're not running every weekend to go out for wins – even in the Nationwide Series it's tough to run part-time and run well. But the fans, your borderline fan that just turned on the TV and saw me win the Daytona 500 and figured they'd watch me the next week probably thinks it's like golf and once you're on the scene you're in and you can go win every tournament, but with racing it's definitely different. That might have hurt us a little bit, but I wouldn't trade the win for anything. I know it's in God's timing anyway, so He was setting me up for something there and putting all the pieces together, so I'm just waiting on the puzzle to make a little bit of sense for me."
WITH PENSKE MOVING TO FORD NEXT YEAR IS THAT AN OPTION FOR YOU? "If Jack says it is. If Roger went to Jack and talked to him, then it could be a possibility or something but for me it's not. It would strictly have to come from Jack and he would have to say something. Being under contract there is no way I would go talk to another team or do anything like that at this point. Ford has done a great job of building up their company and they're doing that in racing too with Ford Racing adding teams and making it more competitive. The more teams the better, but I don't know if that changes opportunities for me or not. If Jack talked to him, I haven't ever heard of it, so I just kind of have to wait and see."
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE TRACK CHANGES HERE? "I'll let you know here in a little bit when I get on it, but from the looks of it I don't think it's gonna be that much different. I think as you get into the Cup cars the track starts taking on rubber and I think it's gonna eliminate a little bit of that groove at the top, which they use to keep the cars wound up so when they lost forward drive they could get up there and really get some bite, but I don't know if that's gonna be there or not because it's so tight coming off of four anyways, and then if you take a little bit of that groove away, we're gonna be coming up on that wall pretty quick. So I don't know if it's gonna change it that much. I think it was just enough that the fans were gonna think there's gonna be a big difference in the race and they'd come show up, but for us as drivers – in Nationwide especially – I don't think it's gonna change the track that much for us."
WHAT OTHER CUP RACES DO YOU HAVE THIS YEAR? "I have six Cup races left. We go to Atlanta after this and then Chicago, Charlotte, Talladega, Texas and Homestead – not that I'm counting or looking forward to them."

Friends of Jordan Winery know that owner John Jordan is a die-hard Denver Broncos fan. After founding The John Jordan Foundation two years ago, he started a tradition of hosting a Super Bowl party for community leaders involved in the foundation's charitable programs, as well as recipients of grants and other donations. Chef Todd Knoll just created this new recipe for John's upcoming event–Citrus Spiced Chicken Wings–a wine-country take on the quintessential football food. He toned down the spice and added citrus flavors, allowing the appetizer to pair with crisp white wines, not just beer. We'll let you make the call on game day beverage. If the Broncos win this weekend, February 2 is going to be a BIG day for John Jordan. Chef Knoll might want to double-down on the number of wings he's cooking.
Recipe: Citrus Spiced Chicken Wings
Summary: Well worth the extra time and effort, these Duck à l'Orange-inspired chicken wings combine subtle zesty, spicy and sweet flavors, making them a natural pairing for crisp, white wines, such as Jordan Chardonnay.
Ingredients ~
- 3 lbs. free-range chicken wings (Mary's if available)
- 2 Tbsp. Kosher salt
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 medium sweet onion, sliced
- 1 bunch lemon thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 star anise
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- ½ cup Wondra flour (for dusting wings)
- 2-3 cups peanut oil (any high-smoke-point oil, such as canola or grapeseed, may be substituted)
- Blue cheese crumbles for garnish (Point Reyes if available)
- Celery sticks for garnish
- Citrus segments for garnish (optional)
For the Sauce ~
- ¾ cup orange juice
- 6 Tbsp. butter, melted
- ½ cup Frank's hot sauce (or pique, Puerto Rican-style hot sauce, if available)
- ½ tsp. Chinese five spice or Quatre épices
- 2 Tbsp. tangerine zest
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt to taste
Instructions ~
- In a non-reactive bowl, combine chicken wings with salt, sugar, onions, thyme, bay leaves, anise and garlic; toss to distribute evenly.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours.
- Remove wings and discard aromatic marinade. Wipe any excess salt and sugar from the wings and lay them on a wire rack. Refrigerate for another 24 hours uncovered. (The refrigeration step may be omitted, but the skin will not crisp as well.)
- When ready to serve, fill a heavy-bottomed pot to a depth of 2-3 inches of oil and heat to 375 degrees. Dust wings in Wonda flour and set aside to allow to coat.
- Begin to prepare sauce. In a separate heavy-bottomed pot, reduce orange juice by three-quarters over medium-high heat. Combine all sauce ingredients with orange juice reduction and heat until just warm. Season with salt to taste.
- Fry wings at 375 degrees until cooked through and crispy; about 11-13 minutes. Transfer wings with slotted spoon to paper-lined tray to drain excess oil.
- In a non-reactive bowl, combine wings and sauce and toss to coat.
- Serve with celery or citrus segments, Point Reyes blue cheese crumbles and additional sauce.

Waste Management Opens Public-Access CNG Fueling Station, Expands Natural Gas-Powered Fleet
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 3, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Waste Management has launched a new local fleet of 25 clean-burning CNG trucks and unveiled Louisville's first public-access, 24-hour compressed natural gas (CNG) fueling station.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090219/WMLOGO)
The fleet is the first of its kind in Kentucky, replacing heavy-duty collection trucks with new state-of-the-art vehicles that run on CNG, a cleaner-burning alternative to conventional gasoline or diesel fuel. The new fueling station provides first-of-its-kind infrastructure in Louisville to serve commercial fleet managers and private individuals a ready supply of CNG fuel.
Mayor Greg Fischer, along with other civic, community and sustainability leaders, attended a ribbon-cutting ceremony and demonstration of the new facility Wednesday at Waste Management's 7501 Grade Lane location.Waste Management is adding up to 25 CNG-powered collection vehicles in Louisville and will roll out additional CNG-powered collection vehicles in the area in the future. The public fueling station will refuel Waste Management's local fleet as well as sell CNG to commercial fleets and retail consumers with CNG-equipped vehicles. "Since natural gas-powered collection trucks run cleaner and quieter, we've made the commitment to use more in our local operations and support sustainability in this community by opening a public CNG station," said Tim Wells, area vice president for Waste Management in Kentucky as well as Alabama, Arkansas and Tennessee. "We are dedicated to providing our greater Louisville area customers with outstanding service while doing business here in the most sustainable manner possible." CNG is one of the cleanest fuels currently available for use in heavy-duty trucks. Its use reduces particulate matter emissions to up to 86 percent, carbon monoxide emissions by 80 percent, nitrogen oxide emissions by up to 32 percent, and carbon dioxide emissions by 25 percent. As an additional benefit, CNG offers cost savings compared to traditional fuels and runs quieter than diesel trucks.

Dáil Éireann - Volume 286 - 26 November, 1975
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Dublin Insured Person.
Mr. Tunney Mr. Tunney
23. Mr. Tunney asked the Minister for Social Welfare the basis on which an insured person in Dublin (details supplied) has been regarded as not being available for employment.
Mr. Cluskey Mr. Cluskey
Mr. Cluskey: It is a statutory requirement for entitlement to unemployment benefit that the claimant must be available for employment. In this case the deciding officer was not satisfied, having regard to the available evidence, that the person concerned fulfilled this requirement and the claim for unemployment benefit was accordingly disallowed. The claimant's appeal against this decision has been allowed and payment of unemployment benefit was made to her, together with arrears due, on 20th November, 1975.

Bio-therapy represents an alternative way of treatment of several serious diseases in the society where conventional therapy fails. Although the larval treatment effect has been well known since 16th century, its use was not so popular in Slovak medicine until 2007. Then a Slovak company called Scientica established a green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) colony in 2007 to produce sterile larvae for their Slovak patients in Slovakia. Peter Takáč talks on how they introduced this method also in Kenya in December 2010 and why the larval therapy is ideal for the African conditions. More info: www.V4Aid.eu The interview took place in the context of the V4Aid project, which is financed by the European Union Fund.

Poverty generates ill health, and poor health, in turn, increases vulnerability and poverty. The growing burden of non-communicable diseases increasingly also affects the poor. However, reducing the burden of infectious diseases remains essential and a prerequisite to reduce malnutrition. Controlling diseases is also a key element for economic growth. Therefore, the EU is strongly committed to increasing equitable access to quality health services in developing countries, whilst ensuring social protection against the financial risks of disease, strengthening social inclusion and boosting global health.
In line with its Communication on 'The EU Role in Global Health', the EU pursues a rights-based approach to health and provides support to developing countries to develop their health policies. Support is also given to strengthen health systems and ensure that health is appropriately considered in other policies, in order to reduce inequalities in health and in access to healthcare, to improve the quality of care, to provide more comprehensive services and to protect against the financial risks of excessive health costs – also ensuring that women's health concerns are appropriately considered.
While the EU is a major supporter of global health initiatives – such as the Global Fund to fight HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, and the GAVI Alliance for Immunisations – and of the specialised UN organisations – such as the World Health Organization – the main focus of the EU's assistance in the health sector is to provide support directly to partner countries and support countries' own efforts to achieve universal health coverage.
In the Communication 'An Agenda for Change' on EU development policy, the EU confirms its commitment to health by announcing that at least 20 % of its 2014-20 aid budget will be allocated for human development and social inclusion, including health. Furthermore, the 2013 Communication on the post-2015 global development goals sets out the EU's intention to provide a balanced approach to poverty eradication and sustainable development, ensuring basic living standards, including health, for all.
Rights and equity in four health priorities: UHC, SRHR, access to medicines and human resources
In 2000, the United Nations Millennium Declaration promoted equality as an essential value to international relations in the 21th century. However, despite efforts towards its accompanying Millennium Development Goals, inequities seem to have increased at national and international levels. It is a political, social, economic and environmental issue; it is about fairness and justice.
How equity can be better included in the future development framework is at the core of the current debate on the post-2015 agenda. This session aims at deepening ideas on this question, taking stock of the experiences of Belgian, EU and southern actors. How does development...
Rights and equity in four health priorities: UHC, SRHR, access to medicines and human resources
In 2000, the United Nations Millennium Declaration promoted equality as an essential value to international relations in the 21th century. However, despite efforts towards its accompanying Millennium Development Goals, inequities seem to have increased at national and international levels. It is a political, social, economic and environmental issue; it is about fairness and justice.
How equity can be better included in the future development framework is at the core of the current debate on the post-2015 agenda. This session aims at deepening ideas on this question, taking stock of the experiences of Belgian, EU and southern actors. How does development cooperation tackle inequities? Which tools are used? How should the development cooperation approach be changed?
The focus of the session will be on the right to health and healthcare in low-income countries.
Equity in healthcare is about ensuring equal treatment of individuals or of groups. Participants set out to get a better understanding of the key issues underlying inequities in healthcare and to map out possible post-2015 strategies.
A key issue in this debate is the expansion of universal health coverage (UHC), which should be endorsed by national governments as an obligation and a right. UHC in developing countries is problematic as they only have a limited resource base for taxation.
Emma Iriarte, Executive Secretary of Salud Mesoamerica 2015, pointed out that many governments do have the possibility to sustain investment in healthcare through their existing pubic budgets. A country like Guatemala, she noted, had a health budget of US$ 2 billion dollars in 2012, enough to cover the minimum level of care if used fairly.
She said that in Mesoamerica the poorest have been left behind. While the national averages appear normal, the situation is bad for those at the lowest income level. For example, 80 % of children in Panama are anaemic. Only 30% have the full vaccination needed for their age. Only 3 % of women are using contraception. It is important to target the poorest 20 % of the population and identify which are the best interventions for them.
A further bottleneck in implementing UHC is the shortage of the qualified health workers needed to underpin a universal system. This gap is currently estimated at 7 million health workers and is increasing. In addition, ageing populations with growing care needs is increasing the demand for trained carers.
The expansion of the number of local community health workers is a partial solution, however, it is important to avoid having a dual system with trained doctors for the rich and informal community health workers for the poor.
Remco van de Pas, Head of Human Resources for Health Project at the Wemos Foundation, pointed out that inequity in health is not only an issue for less developed countries. Inequalities are also growing in Europe. In Greece, for example, social protection is being eroded by the collapse of the economy. It is necessary to put the European house in order, he said.
Bart Criel, Associate Professor and Head of the Health Financing Unit at the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Belgium, also pointed to the health inequities that exist in Belgium despite its excellent social protection and health system. People in the weakest socioeconomic groups have shorter lives and spend fewer years in good health.
One of the cornerstones of Belgium's sustainable development policy and vision is Health For All. To make this work effectively it is important to designate a contact person at all levels of government to increase capacity building, raise awareness and improve involvement regarding health inequities.
There is a need for development cooperation to move beyond aid towards a governmental obligation to provide universal healthcare. There should super-national regulation concerning healthcare rights that can define a minimum level or base.
To strengthen equity in health, governments must change their approach and not just focus on the health sector. A pan-governmental or 'all-government' approach is needed to promote health equity. Each country should have a mechanism at government level to implement an all-society approach.
There is no simple single solution. What is needed is an multisectoral, integrated approach with an all-government focus on healthcare needs.

The Daily Grind: Do you use Kickstarter to pre-order MMOs?
In MJ's interview with TUG's Peter Salinas last week, Salinas said that the most interesting thing about the community reveal of Nerd Kingdom's sandbox MMO was just how many people consider Kickstarter to be a pre-order system instead of, you know, a way to kickstart a game they want to see made.

Serves 4 as a side dish
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 4 firm bananas
- 1 1/2 cups light rum
- 1 large egg
- 4 cups cornflakes
- about 5 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
Peel bananas and cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch pieces. In a bowl cover bananas with rum. Macerate bananas at room temperature 30 minutes.
While bananas are macerating, in a shallow bowl lightly beat egg. In a plastic bag finely crush cornflakes with a rolling pin and transfer to a large shallow bowl.
In a deep 12-inch skillet heat 1 inch oil over moderate heat until a deep-fat thermometer registers 375°F. While oil is heating, carefully remove bananas from rum, reserving rum for another use. Working in small batches, dip bananas in egg to coat, letting excess drip off, and roll in cornflakes, knocking off excess. Arrange bananas as coated on a wax-paper- lined tray.
With a slotted spoon gently lower half of bananas into oil and fry, turning them occasionally, until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer bananas as fried with slotted spoon to paper towels to drain and fry remaining bananas in same manner.

I think I found a wackier rival to KFC's Double Down: a Footlong Cheeseburger at Carl's Jr.
You've got to love Carl's Jr. for producing some of fast food's most obnoxious big burgers.
Chain reps confirm that the home of the "Six Dollar Burger" is testing a foot-long cheeseburger in some restaurants. The funny-looking meat sandwich has been spotted at this Orange County restaurant: 1943 E. 17th Street in Santa Ana. (Note: This is the same restaurant that tested the Grilled Cheese Bacon Burger before it rolled out in stores across the country.)
The regular "Footlong Cheeseburger" sells for $4; the deluxe version (with lettuce and tomato) cost $4.50.
When I got my hands on the 12-inch burger, the first thing I noticed is that part of the wrapper stuck out of the to-go bag. Now, that's a long burger.
But, that's where the impressiveness stopped. Upon further inspection, I discovered the footlong came with three tiny round patties carefully placed between a Hoagie-style bun. I was kind of hoping for one long, lean burger pattie. The toppings (onions, mayo, pickles, lettuce, tomato and cheese) made the whole thing ordinary.
My husband, who joined me in tasting the burger, felt the same way. "It looked interesting until I took a bite. It perfectly matched my low expectations of Carl's Jr.," he said.

Canada: Gun safety courses deal with surge in registrations following repeal of long-gun registry
Firearms instructors are scrambling to cope with a sudden increase in demand for gun safety courses.Enrolment has jumped by more than 20 per cent in the past year as younger hunters and more women head into the woods and to shooting ranges.The end of the federal long gun registry also plays a role in the upswing, says firearms instructor Bob Kierstead. He says the creation of the firearms registry by the federal government in 1993 turned young people away from hunting and the use of guns.

CHL Surge Spreads to Great Northwest
As the American heartland and historically gun-friendly states continue to post record gun sales and experience a surge of interest in concealed-carry permits for personal protection, it may come as something of a surprise that the same trend is occurring in the Pacific Northwest, a region not usually considered a bastion of support for gun rights.
Surge in Hoosier Handgun Permit Demand Creates Backlog
From December 2012 through June 2013, the Indiana State Police received 91,940 applications for handgun licenses, compared to 62,934 applications for all of 2012.
The significant surge has led the Indiana State Police, the agency entrusted to oversee the permit system, to add staff and streamline the application process.
In the past, the agency received about 5,200 handgun permit requests per month, but in January applications shot up to 23,000, Capt. David Bursten said in a statement last week.
