> Hi all,
Well, i'm messing with a used iBook G3/500 right at the moment.
OS X does look nice, and the few OS X audio apps i demo'd are solid.
And, dual-booting w/Debian unstable was dead easy to do, i have OSS audio
working jest fine with the built-in set, and i'm hoping to do ALSA
via USB audio soon, which will be kewl.
I like the hardware platform. The display is noticeably better than most
Intel laptops, certainly better than the used ones i was comparing to.
The Firewire Just Worked, right from the Debian install kernel.
I've been using it with a IDE -> firewire disk carrier.
The unit is solid. The built-in audio is okay, my model
has no real inputs (built-in mic) - you would definately be using USB or
firewire for Real Work. Using Open Firmware at boot instead of BIOS is
sweet. With Linux, performance is fine, even with the 500mhz chip.
The OS X on the other hand, is noticeably slooower than Linux (2.4.21 +
kernels ), especially at reboot. And the Mac world is insanely closed,
it actually surprized _me how little choice you have with OS X - near as
i can figure, you buy most everything from Apple, pay a bunch more money
than a comparable M$ product, or suffer.
And since they are _not a huge monopoly, they seem to have little shame
about being closed - i was very amused by the way they attempt
to corral the first-time user into signing up for .Mac (Apple's version of
MSN) during the OS X install, iTunes also.
The main thing-that-makes-me-nutbar is the keyboard layout. That's
fixable with X, and you can set up keymappings with sysctl for some
Mac-specific things. Main installation pain is the Mac version of fdisk,
which is....terse.
So in conclusion, i'd say the iBook + external converter (USB/fire)
would make a fine Linux audio laptop.
Get a decent sized disk, and you can dual-boot with OS X, and that
will motivate you to run Linux again. :)

moreSolar radiation data is important for a wide range of applications, e.g. in engineering, agriculture, health sector, and in many fields of the natural sciences. A few examples showing the diversity of applications may include: architecture and building design e.g. air conditioning and cooling systems; solar heating system design and use; solar power generation; weather and climate prediction models; evaporation and irrigation; calculation of water requirements for crops; monitoring plant growth and disease control; skin cancer research. Solar radiation data must be provided in a variety of forms to suit these applications. The radiation reaching the upper atmosphere of the Earth is a quantity rather constant in time. But the radiation reaching some point on Earth surface is random in nature. The main cause is the fact that various gases within the atmosphere absorb solar radiation at different wavelengths, and clouds and dust also affect it. There are two ways to obtaining solar radiation data at ground level: by measurement and by modelling. The book will facilitate the calculation of solar radiation required by engineers, designers and scientists and, as a result, will increase the access to needed solar radiation data. less

Should TSA Screeners Carry Guns?
IN THE WAKE of the shooting at Los Angeles International Airport earlier this month, among the questions being asked is this one: should TSA screeners be armed?
My answer is no, they should not be. Readers of my articles and my book already know of my disappointment with many of TSA's policies and protocols. Let me say up front that I am not using this incident as just another opportunity to criticize the agency and arbitrarily oppose a policy, and by no means do I wish to downplay the seriousness of the shooting. But the question of arming of TSA workers has come up before. It ought to be opposed for good reasons:Â
First, citizens need to realize that TSA screeners, despite what their blue shirts and silver badges might imply, are not law enforcement officers, and do not have police authority -- such as the power to arrest. Deputizing and training even a limited number of these employees to carry and use deadly weapons is granting the agency a power it neither has neither earned nor requires to fulfill its mission. It also would be very expensive. That expense would be passed directly to the taxpayers, or perhaps to the airlines, who in turn would raise fares to cover that cost. Â
Although what happened at LAX was tragic, the idea that armed screeners would result in a safer work environment for TSA employees, or a safer travel experience for passengers, is dubious. What happened at LAX was a random tragedy at the hands of a lone and presumably deranged gunman -- the sort of attack that could easily have taken place at a shopping mall, movie theater, etc. That the man is believed to held a grudge against TSA specifically is not a good enough reason to go handing out guns to screeners at large. The response to every mass shooting in this country should never be simply to arm more people, be they government or employees or anyone else. Â
Meanwhile if we are going to increase the TSA budget, there are better ways of spending that money. Â
We should start by speeding up and streamlining the airport screening process -- a project that would entail taking screeners away from public view in the terminal and re-training them to work behind the scenes.  When it comes to protecting passengers from criminals and terrorists, concourse screeners do have a role to play, but mostly it is one of last resort. The more critical work belongs to law enforcement and TSA working together backstage, so to speak: inspecting luggage and cargo, reviewing passenger data, and foiling plotters before they reach the airport. Chances are, once a perpetrator has made it to the terminal, he or she has already figured out a way to fool whatever safeguards we have in place.  Meanwhile, holding up lines so that guards can confiscate harmless pointy objects and shampoo bottles wastes our time, our money, and does nothing to make anybody safer.
I'd also suggest deploying more TSA workers overseas -- in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America -- where they could assist local security staff in the protection of US-bound aircraft. It is much more likely that a bomb or other attack would originate from somewhere overseas, yet our focus is relentlessly domestic. We've got high-tech equipment and body scanners at regional airports in Ohio, while US carriers are often forced to hire third-party contractors to assist with passenger and luggage screening in areas of the world where the threat is statistically much higher.
It's true the 9/11 attacks were launched domestically, but the failure to foil the plot had nothing to do with concourse screening. The loophole the 19 hijackers exploited was not a loophole in airport security, but rather a loophole in our mindset -- that is, our understanding of what a hijacking was, and how it would be expected to unfold, based on decades of precedent. What weapons they brought along for the job mattered little; had boxcutters been contraband, they could easily have improvised other weapons once on the aircraft. The men were not relying not on hardware at all, but on the element of surprise.
To its credit, TSA seems to realize most of this already. It took an awfully long time, but the agency is beginning to understand the limitations and challenges of its role on the front lines. Its "PreCheck" program is a smart idea, and many TSA employees are already busy doing that important work back stage. Let's keep that trend moving in the right direction. Arming screeners would be expensive, while accomplishing little or nothing in the name of safety. And if TSA wants to earn and keep the respect of the American traveler, strapping on guns, in an increasingly militarized society already awash with arms, isn't the way to do it. The way to do it is through more effective and efficient security.
(* Well, I like the concept behind it. What I don't like is that PreCheck travelers are required to pay a fee to qualify. Rather than charging Americans money to bypass the what's broken, how about fixing it instead?)

Uttoxeter firefighter is ready for next run with Chester Marathon
Posted: April 19, 2014|
A UTTOXETER firefighter is preparing to pull on his running shoes once again after just completing his first marathon.
Simon Poole, who is based at Uttoxeter Community Fire Station, completed the London Marathon at the weekend in four hours 22 minutes and nine seconds – and now he has got a taste for it.
After smashing his fund-raising target to raise £2,190 for the burns unit at Birmingham's Queen Elizabeth Hospital, he is now once again training hard for the Chester Marathon on Sunday, October 5.
This time he will be raising funds for The Fire Fighters Charity and has set himself the target of raising £150.
Mr Poole said: "The London Marathon was really good. I think around the 18 mile point I started to feel it in my legs but other than that it was fantastic.
"It was a once in a lifetime experience and I would definitely do it again.
"I would like to thank everyone who has sponsored me and say a special thanks to David Glennan from Tyrrells Crisps Uttoxeter and also Dan Garnett JCB in Rocester."
He was inspired to raise money for the burns unit because of his job dealing with fires as patients he has attended to during blazes have ended up needing treatment at a hospital.
Although it was the first time the firefighter has run in a marathon, it is not the first time he has found himself doing something to raise money for a good cause.
Mr Poole was part of the team which took part in a ladder climb for the Three Peaks for Lisa challenge, in memory of Lisa Oldham who died following a tragic house fire at her home in Wood Lane, Uttoxeter.
However, he said that despite just finishing the London Marathon he will not be giving himself much of a break.
In preparation for his next marathon, he will take part in the Uttoxeter Half Marathon and the Potters 'Arf Marathon to get himself in top physical condition for the big day.
Mr Poole told the Post and Times: "If anybody was unable to donate to me taking part in the London Marathon, if they still would like to sponsor me for the Fire Fighters Charity they will be able to donate for me taking part in the Chester Marathon."
Anyone who would like to sponsor Mr Poole for the Chester Marathon can do so by visiting the Just Giving page at www.justgiving.com/FFCharitySimonPoole

Under Schapiro, the SEC reached its largest settlement ever with a financial institution. Goldman Sachs & Co. agreed in July 2010 to pay $550 million to settle civil fraud charges that it misled investors about mortgage securities before the housing market collapsed in 2007. Similar settlements followed with Citigroup Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and others.
The Goldman case came to symbolize a lingering critique of Schapiro's tenure: No senior executives were singled out. The penalty amounted to roughly two weeks of Goldman's earnings. And Goldman was allowed to settle the charges without admitting or denying wrongdoing, as were other large banks that faced similar charges.
Among the SEC's leading critics was U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff, who questioned how the agency could let an institution settle serious securities fraud without any admission or denial of guilt. Rakoff later threw out a $285 million deal with Citigroup because of that aspect of the deal.
Lawmakers and experts say Schapiro made the SEC more efficient and fought for increased funding needed to enforce new rules enacted after the crisis. She often clashed with Republican lawmakers who had opposed the 2010 financial overhaul law and wanted to cut the SEC's budget.
Schapiro also faced criticism over a decision she made in response to the Madoff scandal. Madoff had been arrested a month before Schapiro took over at the SEC in January 2009.
Schapiro allowed her general counsel at the time, David Becker, to help craft the SEC's policy for compensating victims. It was later discovered that Becker had inherited money his mother had made as a Madoff investor. Schapiro acknowledged in 2011 that she was wrong to have allowed Becker to play a key role in setting the policy.
The SEC's inspector general concluded in a report that Becker participated "personally and substantially" in an issue in which he had had a financial interest. Some lawmakers complained that the affair further eroded the public's trust in the SEC.
Cox, the Duke professor, said that after a strong first two years, the SEC under Schapiro became less effective.
"The wind was really taken out of (Schapiro's) sails" by the political fallout from the Becker episode, Cox said. "I don't think she really got her legs back under her after that."
For example, Cox said, Schapiro should have fought harder against legislation enacted in March that makes it easier for small start-ups to raise capital without having to comply immediately with SEC reporting rules.
Critics say the law went too far in removing SEC oversight and might open the door to corporate scandals or to the sorts of deceptions that led to the financial crisis.
Schapiro's push for stricter rules for money-market funds has been opposed by a majority of SEC commissioners in the face of resistance from the fund industry. But top regulators have pressed the SEC to adopt recommendations that include requiring funds to hold capital reserves against losses and placing limits on how fast investors can withdraw money.
Money-market funds hold $2.7 trillion in assets. Any run on money funds could pose a risk to millions of investors and companies.
And the banking industry has lobbied successfully to delay the implementation of the Volcker Rule, which regulators say would force banks to more closely monitor their trading risks and might, for example, have detected trading risks at JPMorgan Chase.
Chase, the biggest U.S. bank, absorbed an estimated $6 billion in losses from its trading operation in London that surfaced last spring.

Windows 7 unable to start, system repair and f8 functions unreachable
Before I start I'm sorry if this is in the wrong thread, i just joined and I don't want to waste time that could be spent trying to fix my computer.
Anyways, I've been recently trying to dual boot windows 7 and windows 8 release preview and i tried several methods from vhd to bootable usb, it was going pretty well until i decided bootable usb would be easier and got rid of the vhd that wouldve had windows 8. Now i am unable to boot my computer after a message saying bootmgr is missing. I have a system recovery disc but when i put it in it comes up with an error :status 0xc00000e9 info an unexpected I/O error has occurred. I also have the usb with the bootable windows 8 installation but that fails to start with another error; status 0xc000000f info a required device isnt connected or cant be accessed. i am currently making a windows 7 boot cd to see if i cant get that to help fix my problem. i would do the same thing with windows 8 but the windows usb/dvd download tool says my windows 8 iso is an invalid iso so i was unable to use that but i got it through a more difficult tutorial. I will answer any and all questions that further explain this problem to the best of my knowledge. I know little about scripts commands etc, but i have been trying to learn so if something like this were to happen it would be easier, sadly i didnt get enough time to work.
Any help is appreciated
EDIT: i have managed to get the windows 7 boot cd to load, i am currently trying to repair the system
EDIT 2: i have rebuilt the BCD and nolonger recieve the bootmgr is missing, that is the largest of my problems out of the way. Now i just have to figure out how to get it past the welcome screen without restarting will continue updates until i have gotten the system to boot normally then i will probably put a tutorial (or atleast the ones i followed) in case someone may have the same problem

thanks bigmck, unfortunately a clean install wouldve been easiest but my computer has to many files on it right now that i cant lose. i have managed to start up in safe mode and will search for what to do from there.
EDIT: i can enter in safe mode but i am not sure what to do, i have run startup repair from the recovery disk and it says its fixed problems (dealing with the partition, which i am pretty sure is causing the problem) but it still reboots after the initial windows screen. I will get rid of the windows 8 partition to see if that help.
EDIT 2: i ran check disk and that helped. i can now return to my main pc

So since you've posted Edit 2, does that mean you're all fixed up?

f5ing, yes, i have actually since then managed to get windows 8 up and it has an interesting function called refresh. my guess is that its similar to system recovery but whatever it does, it worked because i can dual boot between the two now without either of them randomly restarting.

an institution; there may be inherent obstructions to peer-reviewed funding or publishing of cross-disciplinary research (for instance, in defining what constitutes a peer); and there may be contextual scientific obstacles (since the multifaceted system under study may not fit into traditional categories for scientific investigation).
Without attempting to specify particular remedies, the panel includes below a few generic observations and outlines some possible initial approaches to encouraging collaborative research, especially between statisticians and oceanographers. The recent publication of several excellent studies and reports addressing cross-disciplinary research in various contexts (e.g., NRC, 1987; Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 1988; NRC, 1990a; see also Goel et al., 1990; Gnanadesikan, 1990; Hoadley and Kettenring, 1990), together with heartening signs of an improving environment for such activities (Crank, 1993; Harris, 1993), suggests that attention to the value of collaborative research is increasing and that work toward facilitating it will be ongoing.
The need for clear communication and substantive interaction among collaborating researchers from different disciplines suggests the desirability of their working together at the same physical location for a significant period of time on specific problems to which both parties can contribute needed expertise. Funding agencies and research institutions could stimulate such interactions (a) by sponsoring workshops on well-delineated topics—drawn, for example, from the research areas discussed in this report—that are best addressed by a collaborative effort; (b) by providing for postdoctoral fellowships, senior research sabbaticals, and graduate student residencies that would enable statisticians to work with oceanographers at oceanographic research institutions; and (c) by sponsoring a series of one-or two-week short courses on oceanography for statisticians in which specialists would review selected topics and indicate open areas of research. It is much more likely that statistical research on one of the physical oceanographic challenges described in this report will produce valuable results if that research involves continuous interaction with an oceanographer who is versed both in the nuances of that challenge and in the practical oceanographic realities surrounding it.
In all such considerations, the panel encourages active cooperation between statisticians and oceanographers at agencies that fund research in these disciplines.
Effectively communicating the results of successful collaborative research—and thereby increasing understanding of its value in addressing complex problems—includes having the results published in journals that are well regarded in the relevant disciplines. The panel suggests that, as an initial step, one or more of the major statistical journals could publish a special section or issue on statistics and oceanography designed to increase awareness of the research opportunities in that area. This would encourage interaction between statisticians and physical oceanographers, increase the visibility of the results of successful collaboration, and set a precedent that could stimulate other highly regarded disciplinary journals to publish statistics and oceanography cross-disciplinary papers.

The HealthWorks! program introduced a new tool Wednesday - a fitness video - which leads children through one hour of cardio segments.

By getting kids on their feet and into exercise, doctors believe the number of obese children will drop.
Bob Siegel, director of the Center for Health & Nutrition says they treat more than 2,000 children per year for obesity issues.
"It's a very big problem in general, but in the Cincinnati area about 40 percent of kids are overweight or obese by the time they hit middle school," Siegel said. "We're doing everything we can to get kids eating better and more active."

Stupid q's: Has smoking cigarettes kept you from getting a job? - page 8
Do any of you smoke cigarettes? And has it kept you from getting a job?... Read More
- 0Oct 19, '12 by tinky6233I quit smoking almost 2yrs ago(1yr, 9 months). I never thought I smelled like cigs, I would take a shower, put clean clothes on and go out....example, i would go to my son's house(non-smokers)to see my grand-daughter and would be told,"uck, you smell like cigs" and I would say, "i didn't even have a cig" etc...thought they were being picky....me thinking, "ofcourse I would never smoke in front of a child"...well, now that i quit, I can tell you I can smell a smoker right away and they do stink! As for at work, when i smoked, I would get mad when a non-smoker would say something like, "they are always on a cig break" etc....I'd think, it's their problem if they don't take their breaks,,,,,and some people just don't take them, but that's their choice...Now, I find myself saying, "they're outside again???" it does seem most do take more cig breaks than they should. As a nonsmoker, i find that I now have extra time to finish charting, and/or to help out somebody who needs extra help...
In spite of all of this, I find it wrong to not hire a smoker...it is not against the law(yet). Employers should not be able to discriminate against smokers....Where i work, a privately owned 155 bed longterm/rehab facility, we are a non-smoking facility, but they do hire smokers...??? confusing since, new patients have to sign a waiver saying that they can't smoke while here. they do offer nicotine patches though...
- 1Oct 19, '12 by BlueDevil,DNPYes, I agree. Most of you probably just didn't realize that you didn't get the job because you smelled of cigarette smoke. The response, if you ask, is going to be: "We decided to go in a different direction." "We found someone with more specific experience, better tailored to our present needs." "Don't worry, we will keep your resume on file."
- 0Oct 19, '12 by elkparkQuote from tinky6233Why is it "wrong"? There are any number of issues/personal qualities, etc., that may be legal but an employer may find undesirable (tattoos, piercings, inappropriate attire worn to the interview, etc., etc., etc.). As long as the employer is not violating state or Federal employment or EEOC law, the employer is free to set whatever employment standards it chooses (just as it is the right of smokers to choose to smoke).In spite of all of this, I find it wrong to not hire a smoker...it is not against the law(yet). Employers should not be able to discriminate against smokers...
- 2Oct 19, '12 by RNsRWeYears ago, an agency that handles respite workers for special needs children/adults once sent a new caregiver to my home. Before her first visit, a received information about her, and spoke at length to her supervisor, who assured me that this person was perfect to take care of my preschooler for a few hours a day, once a week.
Except what she didn't tell me was that the woman would arrive in a cloud of smoke. I opened the front door and the FIRST thing I noticed was the cigarette odor; I was taken aback but didn't want to be rude so I invited her in. I had her stay about fifteen minutes when I worked up the courage to tell her there was a problem (I was once not so outspoken as I am now, believe it or not!).
I told her that her resume was fine, but the scent of cigarettes triggered a reaction in me that causes my throat to close up, cough, etc. Not life-threatening but still uncomfortable, and I didn't want it around my child, I didn't want to find out what effect it might have on him.
She understood, and assured me if given another chance, she would arrive without any possible hint of cigarettes on her. She swore it was just because she had smoked on the way over. She never smoked in her own home, and so on.
Ok. So second chance comes the following week. I opened the door, let her in...and there it was. In her hair, on her clothes. She insisted she hadn't smoked since before getting dressed, not even in her house, but---there it was. In her hair, on her clothes.....and I didn't want it near me or my child, so.....she was out of a job.
Could I discriminate against her based on the fact she smoked outside of work? You betcha: she smelled badly and was a potential health risk to my family. End of employment.

June 10 (Bloomberg) -- U.K. winter natural gas advanced to its highest level in more than seven weeks after Brent crude rose above $120 a barrel for the first time since May 5.
Gas for the six months from October climbed as much as 0.65 pence, or 0.9 percent, to 72.9 pence a therm, its highest since April 18, according to broker prices compiled by Bloomberg. It was at 72.7 pence as of 4:15 p.m. in London, equal to $11.80 a million British thermal units, which would be the contract's fifth weekly gain.
Brent for July settlement climbed as much as 0.4 percent to $120.07 a barrel on London's ICE Futures Europe exchange, its highest since May 5. It was at $118.47 a barrel as of 4:28 p.m. in London. Oil costs can boost the price of some mainland European gas contracts, affecting the U.K. market because of pipeline links to the continent.
U.K. winter baseload power advanced 40 pence to 59.55 pounds a megawatt-hour, broker data show. Baseload is delivered around the clock.
National Grid Plc forecast gas demand in the 24 hours through 6 a.m. tomorrow at 211 million cubic meters, 34 million less than normal for the season, according to the pipeline manager's website. The nation's pipelines will hold 337 million cubic meters of the fuel at that time, about the same as at the start of today.
Within-day gas fell 0.1 pence to 59.15 pence a therm. Gas for the next working day was at 58.9 pence at 4:30 p.m. yesterday. Power for the next working day rose 55 pence to 51.10 pounds a megawatt-hour.

I ordered two of these night stands.. I loved them. I wish they had a Headboard to match along with full sized dressers.. Very Happy with them
Product just as described. It arrived quickly and in perfect shape. I was afraid that it might get damaged during shipping but the nightstand was packaged so perfectly that it took me almost 30 minuted just to unpack it. Good packing inside the box, then the box itself was wrapped in large bubble wrap, then wrapped in plastic. The nightstand goes good with my guest bedroom furniture. It would be a good fit for a childs room as well since it's not as large as a full size nightstand, but goes well in our guest room. A++
It is a great value for the price. The piece looks way more expensive than it really is. The finish is very nice, and I have similar pieces for which I paid four times as much. However, when you open the drawers you realize that it is not what it seems. I have a really nice bed next to it, but did not want to spend a lot of money on the nightstand. They look great together and since I hardly ever need to use the drawers, it serves my purpose. The drawers are extremely small, so again, not so much a functional piece as much as a good looking one.
The way they used Styrofoam and bubble wrap on this box, a bomb would not of hurt it. So impressed !!!! Took me 20 minutes to get it open but it was in perfect condition. Overstock.com you get an A+++ for packaging. The nightstand looks way more expensive than what it actually cost.
I ordered these to replace an older night stand and to match my cherry sleigh bed. Though they were the same height as the older stand, the drawers are very tiny, short and won't even pull out all of the way. There is far less storage space in this one than my old one and I like to keep books, etc. close by.. I am disappointed. They were packed well and arrived quickly.
Very pleased with nightstand. Nice cherry finish & style. Excellent quality for the price.
Good quality nightstand. No assembly required. Would recommend
Looks much more expensive than it was! Arrived quickly and a described. Also, it arrived fully assembled! Not sure I remember reading that anywhere so that was an added bonus.
The best part is the magic words,'needs no assembling'. Just take it out of the box and haul it to wherever it needs to be. Wood is heavy and solid. I got the cherry one to add to a bedroom set that came with only one. A bit smaller but will do.
Great quality. It looks great, and came completely assembled.

Some outraged by women only parking spots
(ABC News) A shopping mall in northeastern China has sparked accusations of sexism after it created 10 pink, extra-wide parking spots for women only.
Painted in hot pink, the spots at the World Metropolis Center in Dalian say, "respectfully reserved for ladies," and are about 11 inches wider than usual parking spots.
While some female drivers appreciated the tailored design, others called the parking spots sexist and disrespectful.
On the Chinese social media site Weibo, a microblogger wrote in Mandarin, Is this for real? Dont discriminate against women drivers.
Another microblogger asked, Is this implying that women are bad at parking?
Yang Hongjun, a female manager at the mall, said officials just wanted to make parking easier for women.
Women make up most of our customers, she said.
Nevertheless, others disagreed.
Why do women get all these advantages? one male commentator asked on Weibo. If you cant drive, dont drive. It doesnt matter what gender you are. This is precisely reverse discrimination.
In Seoul, South Korea, nearly 5,000 parking spaces near entrances of malls and other buildings were painted pink in 2009. They were designed to minimize the distance from cars to shopping for women wearing high heels.

The Someday Isle of Women's Health Care - Tips to Manage Stress
Another interesting thing about stress is that men and women deal with it differently. (Imagine that!) Studies have shown that when a husband and wife have an argument, his stress hormones decrease within the hour but hers are still high for another 12 hours. Other studies show that pregnant women who experience extreme stress have high levels of cortisol in their blood stream, possibly shutting up to 60% of the oxygen and nutrients away from the fetus. It is also believed that cortisol can cause the dendrites (the branches that contain memories) to shrink temporarily, causing memory blocks and that "going blank" experience. As cortisol levels decrease, the dendrites plump back up and your memory and thinking become clearer.
Research done at UCLA in 1998 showed that while most men and some women react to stress with the fight or flight response, women have another way to respond to stress. It is called "tend and befriend."[2] Women appear to be physiologically wired to reach out and communicate with each other, connecting in ways that help decrease stress and help one become calmer and less afraid. This instinctual "woman's way" is compromised in today's society because for almost everyone there is no time left in our 24/7 jam-packed lifestyle to have much tending and befriending.
Technology that looks like connection (cell phones, computers, computer games, tablets, etc.) is increasing our disconnection. No one can deny that we are living in challenging times, but mostly outside of our windows of stress tolerance. As a therapist, I see every day the devastation stress is causing to the human spirit and soul. Individuals and families struggle with stress escalation and become stuck in survival ego, disconnecting from the ones they love.
We can't stay in this place and survive. Women are the nurturers. Who nurtures the nurturers? What happens when they are not?
According to some studies, women who allow themselves to connect with each other release an essential calming brain chemical called oxytocin. A great book that explains our inner calming chemistry is The Chemistry of Connection: How the Oxytocin Response Can Help You Find Trust, Intimacy and Love by Susan Kuchinskas [3]. Oxytocin builds on our attachment/caregiving system. Oxytocin seems to counteract the metabolic activity associated with physiological reactivity from the stress reactions fight-or-flight like increased heart rate, elevated blood pressure and increased cortisol levels (which for women seem to go to their middle?) Our present day lifestyle is not promoting us to connect at a physical or emotional level. So, what do we do?

THEIndia occupies most of the Indian subcontinent, which is placed between the tectonic plate of the India and the north-western part of the indo-Australian plate. A part of the territory of the States of the North and northeast of the India is located in the mountains of the Himalayas. The rest of the Northern, Central, and Eastern India is occupied by the fertile indo-Gangetic plain. In the western part, bordered by Pakistan to the Southeast, lies the Thar desert. The South India consists almost entirely of the Peninsular Deccan plateau flanked by two massive coastal hilly terrain, the Western Ghats and the Eastern Ghats.
Major rivers and rivers such as the Ganges, the Brahmaputra, Yamuna, the Godavari, the Narmada, the Kaveri across the country. THEIndia also has three archipelagos: the Lakshadweep Islands, which lie off the coast of southwestern; the volcanic chain of the islands of Andaman and Nicobar Islands to the Southeast, and the Sundarbans in the delta of the Ganges in West Bengal. India climate varies from tropical in the South to more temperate in the North of the Himalayas and where the mountainous regions receive continuous snowfall in the winter.
The climate of theIndia is strongly influenced by the Himalayas and the Thar desert. The Himalayas and the mountains of the Hindu Kush in Pakistan, impeding the katabatic winds from Central Asia and thus preventing them from entering the Mainland, which preserves heat in most of the latter, unlike most of the areas at the same latitude. The desert of Thar, meanwhile, draws moist winds of the summer monsoon which, between June and September, is responsible for most of the rainfall of the India.

LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) – Lakers legend and Hall of Famer Magic Johnson knows a thing or two about winning NBA Titles.
He won five of them during the team's showtime era along with Big Game James Worthy and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
On Friday, Magic sat down with CBS2/KCAL9 sports director Jim Hill to talk the current crisis that Kobe Bryant and the rest of the Lakers are going through after losing all three point guards and losing their future Hall of Famer to a fractured knee.
"I just want him to take his time, but to get back healthy" Magic tells Hill. "Don't rush back because we have two more years of Kobe Bryant. He needs to understand that along with Jim [Buss], Jeanie and Mitch [Kupchak]. I would say to him: 'Don't rush it. If you're not ready, sit the whole year out."
He also reminds Hill how the Spurs capitalized on keeping David Robinson out for the 1997 season after he injured back during the preseason, then breaking his foot six games after his return in December, leading to a low record of 20-62 for the season.
As a result, the Spurs got 'lucky' and drafted Tim Duncan.
"I want the Lakers to get lucky and get somebody in the draft," Magic added. "We have enough money to sign another free agent and the Lakers could be strong next year."

Savage Public Works Building Expansion
Photo: ,
Savage Public Works Building Expansion 13770 Dakota Av. S., Savage
Type: Government Size of expansion: 23,843 feet Cost: $5.8 million
The city of Savage is moving forward with a planned $5.8 million renovation and expansion of its public works building.
At its Tuesday meeting, the Savage City Council approved issuing advertisements seeking construction bids for the project. DLR Group architects and civil engineers Bolton & Menk are the designers.
The project would see 23,842 square feet added to the 34,586-square-foot building, where the city stores and maintains its fleet of street sweepers, tankers, dump trucks and myriad other vehicles. City officials say its design is nearing completion.
The aim of the expansion is to integrate all of the growing city's public works facilities onto one site. Savage maintains a remote materials storage site, known as the city boneyard, at the Savage Industrial Center near the intersection of Hwy. 13 and 126th Street.
The expansion project addresses a long-term goal to eliminate the need for the city-owned, multi-tenant office building in the industrial park and get it back onto tax rolls with a new, private owner, said Savage City Administrator Barry Stock.
The city hopes to select the winning bid by its Feb. 21 council meeting, during which the project's final site and building plans are to be considered.
The oldest section of the current building dates back to 1988, with a significant expansion performed in 1993. Some additional office space was built in 2001 to meet the growing needs of the Scott County community.
"Probably the biggest impact for the public works staff will be the modernization of the mechanics' bays," Stock said. "We have a pretty large fleet, and we save quite a bit of money having them repaired in-house. Our mechanics have been working with 1988 technology on these vehicles."

President Bill Clinton's My Life is the strikingly candid portrait of a global leader who decided early in life to devote his intellectual and political gifts, and his extraordinary capacity for hard work, to serving the public. It is the fullest, most concretely detailed, most nuanced account of a presidency ever written, and a testament to the positive impact on America and on the world of his work and his ideals.
Here is the life of a great national and international figure, revealed with all his talents and contradictions. Filled with fascinating moments and insights, it is told openly, directly, in President Clinton's own completely recognizable voice.
"William Jefferson Clinton's My Life is, by a generous measure, the richest American presidential autobiography—no other book tells us as vividly or fully what it is like to be president of the United States for eight years. Clinton had the good sense to couple great smarts with a solid education; he arrived in Washington in 1964 and has been the nation's—or perhaps the world's—No. 1 politics junkie ever since. And he can write—as Reagan, Ford, Nixon and Lyndon B. Johnson, to go no farther back, could not."
—Larry McMurtry, The New York Times
"[Clinton's] life is too fascinating, his mind too brilliant, his desire to charm too strong to permit him to produce a boring book. The combination of analytic and emotional intelligence that made him a great politician now makes him a compelling raconteur."
—Walter Isaacson, The Washington Post
"My Life is, without question, the best written U.S. presidential tome of all time."
—Douglas Brinkley, Financial Times

When Hosni Mubarak, once the Arab world's most powerful leader, was wheeled into a courtroom on a stretcher to face charges of murder and corruption, Egyptians were able to watch the proceedings live on television. But now Judge Ahmed Rifaat has ordered an end to the live broadcasts. He has also merged the trials of Mubarak, his sons and the former interior minister Habib El Adly, before adjourning the trial until September 5.
The move has been met by shock, anger and disappointment among many Egyptians as they ask why the biggest case in the country's history should be banned from the public. Many are now worried that a deal has been struck behind the scenes.
Inside Story discusses with guests: Ahmed Naguib, the co-founder of the Council of Trustees of the Revolution in Egypt; Manar Shorbagy, an associate professor of Political Science at the American University in Cairo; and Daniel Newman, a professor of Arabic Studies at Durham University in the UK.

Hi guys.
I have an Outcast 29er that came stock with "Tektro Aluminum" V-brakes. That's all I know about them. There are no markings on them other that "Tektro."
They're a bit flacid, ie, limp and squishy.
I was thinking of upgrading them with the Avid Single Digit 5's. Can anyone here give a good recommendation for the Avids? Will I notice an improvement with these low-end Avid brakes or is it just more of the same? How about if I threw in some Avid Speed Dial 7 levers?

Schools in the Philippine capital have suspended classes and many local flights are cancelled as the country's main island braces for heavy rains and winds brought by fast-moving Typhoon Nesat.
Forecasters say Nesat will make landfall in eastern Aurora province in the next 24 hours and cross Luzon Island north of Manila with winds of up to 215 kilometres per hour.
Heavy downpours and wind on Monday prompted the government to shut schools in Manila while airlines cancelled flights to central and eastern parts of the country.
The coast guard also grounded inter-island ferries, stranding hundreds of travellers.
The typhoon bore down on the Philippines exactly two years after nearly 500 people died in the worst flooding in decades in Manila.
