The Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (DWP) just released its long term strategic plan for how the City of L.A. will meet its future water and energy needs. At a time when the City's historic water supplies are very much at risk it's clear that the distant sources we've relied on for many years are both diminishing and becoming much more expensive.
The new plan heads in the right direction. It states that it's a priority to develop new, local supplies, and that includes capturing the rain that falls on our region for free. But unfortunately the proposed long term budget doesn't give evidence of the agency's commitment to changing the course.
The role of a strategic plan is to set a strategy and to provide a basis for leadership and direction. Because of the imported water supply threat, it's time to make a turn and invest the agency's resources in developing local supplies and the economy. That's what this plan should do. But unfortunately because the budget doesn't follow through, it sends a confusing message to DWP's staff, L.A. residents, and innovators who want to help.
I spent the first part of last week in a town near Amsterdam presenting at Bioneers Global, the first Bioneers conference to take place outside the U.S. The theme was biomimicry, or "innovation inspired by nature."
TreePeople helps nature heal our cities. We bring the forest, and forest-inspired technologies into the city landscape. Our work is biomimicry at a systems level.
Los Angeles has broken many of nature's systems in the way we've developed and managed the region. TreePeople's goal of creating functioning community forests in every neighborhood of L.A. is a way of restoring the gifts of nature and community to our local landscapes. Our work equips and inspires people to restore and care for trees, soil, and plants, so they can do all the jobs they've been designed to do in our ecosystem. In the process they make our urban environments healthy and thriving.
But for this to happen on a wide scale we must re-imagine our roles as city dwellers.
Last week TreePeople received national attention. NBC's Today Show featured a segment on our work, including on one of our proudest accomplishments, the 1990 community planting of hundreds of trees by thousands of people along LA's Martin Luther King Boulevard, the results of which are now visible from space. TreePeople was chosen as one of Pepsi's Refresh campaign awardees, and on Friday I appeared live on the show to receive a gift of $50,000 for our work.

Why this recognition by two corporate giants? I think businesses are becoming increasingly aware that more of us - not just stockholders - are holding them accountable. Everyone is a shareholder in the world today, and where we choose to spend our dollars makes a difference. We can choose a company that gives back, and we should.
Soon the Los Angeles City Council will consider a measure that will make sidewalk repairs the financial responsibility of homeowners, and not the city, which has been taking care of such repairs since l974.
People ask: What does it matter? Well, it matters a lot.
Past history tells us that, even with a permit process in place, in order to avoid having to repair the sidewalk homeowners will too often butcher trees or even take them out entirely, replacing them with something that might be called a tree, but is actually a glorified shrub. Shrubs cannot provide anywhere near the same benefits as trees. Sidewalk parkways, where street trees are planted, are public rights of way. They are a space for the public good, traditionally controlled by city agencies. City leaders had the prescience to understand they needed to maintain authority over these strips of land to manage them for maximum public benefit. Trees were traditionally put in these parkways not just for beauty, but for shade and other dividends. These purposes have been forgotten by many, and now trees are too often seen just as decorations and nuisances.
Public parkway trees need protecting now more than ever.
At a time when Los Angeles'economic, environmental, and physical health is increasingly compromised, the public parkway is the interface where city actions can make a big impact. We need our trees , and we need to enable them to do what they are designed to do. That little crack in the concrete is a result of trees trying to spread their root systems to get access to water, as they do in nature. Trees are designed to take the rain and water run-off, clean it in the spongy, porous soil in their root zone, and store it for further use. Healthy trees also filter the air, and by shading, cooling, and lowering urban temperatures, they reduce air pollution and save energy.

Today is just one of those days where the most interesting things happening in the world are only peripherally baseball related.
#1 Interesting Thing: It's National Cupcake Day. Needless to say, I made my vanilla cupcakes with chocolate frosting. I was going to try to dye the chocolate orange and black, but decided against it. Instead I used orange and black cupcake papers (from Halloween). I think they have some Giants flare.
#2 Interesting Thing: I finally made it to the California Academy of Sciences to see the newly (two years, newly) renovated museum. It was all going very nicely until the fire alarms started going off and the lights started flashing and a voice started telling us to get out quickly and not take elevators. We had to evacuate and fire trucks showed up and it seemed like a real emergency. Then they left. No one seems clear what happened. Anyway. Here's the interesting part:
I liked almost everything I saw of the museum but the best part was this red and blue poison dart frog. It's way smaller than it looks in this picture and while everyone was oohing and aahing and saying it looked like Superman, all I was thinking was, Rangers frog!
See what I mean? Those colors! It should be the Rangers mascot. The colors were incredibly vibrant even though it was absolutely tiny and very still.
This is not baseball related, but the other part I really enjoyed was the moon jellyfish. They were totally hypnotizing. I think I could have watched them for hours.
Enjoy the multitude of cupcakes today, everyone.

Social Research Report and Executive Summary
The main aim of the research was to provide evidence about people's views on the law-making powers of the Assembly to inform the recommendations of the All Wales Convention, and to help inform the communications work of the Convention.
The research was conducted over two stages, between November 2008 and July 2009, using both discussion groups to explore issues in detail, and telephone surveys to provide statistical information.
The final report, which brings together the findings of both stages of the research is now available. It gives both statistical and in-depth information about public awareness of the Assembly's existing law-making powers, the public's views on the way Wales is governed now, and their views on proposals for additional law-making powers in the future.
The results of the second wave of our research revealed:
- 72% of the people in our survey stated that they favoured the present settlement or somewhat increased devolution.
- When asked how they would vote in a referendum on further powers, 47% would vote for a move to Part 4, whilst 37% would vote against

The subject of blessing and prosperity has become very controversial among those in the church. We want to be blessed and live the abundant life Christ died to give us, yet we don't want to approach God as if He is a lottery or a slot machine—if you put in the right amount of prayer, praise, worship, faith and good works, out comes your blessing. But for some, that is all they see God as, and they get beside themselves when He doesn't come through the way they wanted Him to.
Blessing and prosperity are more than money. According to Strong's Complete Concordance of the Bible, one Hebrew word for prosperity is shalom. We often associate the word shalom with peace, but the peace that Christ went to war for on the cross is a complete, whole kind of peace. Also according to Strong's, shalom is "completeness, soundness, welfare and peace." It represents completeness in number and safety and soundness in your physical body. Shalom also covers relationships with God and with people.
Why personal finance must be set upon a strong foundation
The more the economy continues to bump along, without much evidence of rebounding, the more anxious people become about the future. We don't like uncertainty, especially financial uncertainty. Have you noticed how many people are ready for economic change? Nearly all of us! And regardless of how we've weathered this recessionary storm, we all have a need for a solid financial foundation.
Poor employment numbers, diminished value on investments, lost equity in real estate—these and more have pushed many of us out of our comfort zone during the last several years. This has instilled some with an urgency to find new ways of doing things and has led to some good changes. Many, though, are still looking for direction, hope and a positive outlook about the future.

They Came. They Played. They Conquered.
We Induct Two More 2012 Champions into the Hall of Heroes |
FFG Hall of Heroes | Published 04 October 2012 |
Last week, we opened the doors to the Hall of Heroes and inducted its first member, three-time Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game World Champion, Tom Capor.
Now, as we continue to contact and work with our champions, past and present, we are proud to induct two more players who have earned entry by winning National Championship Tournaments in 2012. Moreover, each of these National Champions won the right to represent his nation at the FFG World Championship Weekend:
Mathieu Hosatte – A Game of Thrones: The Card Game
The 2012 A Game of Thrones: The Card Game French National Champion, Mathieu Hosatte has been an active player since 2004. He took a one-year break from A Game of Thrones after it transitioned to its Living Card Game™ format, but has since returned and made himself a consistent force upon the European tournament scene, claiming top honors in several French tournaments, including the 2012 French National Championship.
During the 2012 French National Championship, Mathieu narrowly missed the final tables of both the Joust and Melee, but he won the Overall title due to his balance and ability to stay among the top participants in both tournaments.
Will Mathieu translate his success in Europe to a World Championship in November? This may be the year North America's champions lose their hold on the Iron Throne. The contests of A Game of Thrones: The Card Game are taking on a more global complexion this year as Mathieu and other National Champions are coming to FFG Headquarters in Roseville, MN to stake their claim during the FFG World Championship Weekend!
Sascha Kramer – Dust Tactics
Since 2012 Dust Tactics German National Champion Sascha Kramer started playing the game, he has quickly established himself as one of Europe's elite generals. He played his first Dust Tactics tournament at the qualifying tournament in Cologne, which he won. Then, he went on to prove his worth as a commander by steering his Axis army to victory in the Dust Tactics German National Championship Tournament.
Sascha prefers the Axis because of their strong melee units and artillery options, but he has done his homework like any good commander, gaining intel on both of the other blocs by playing with them extensively.
Will Sascha's opponents be able to find a weakness in his strategies, or will he emerge victorious from the alternate 1940s reality battles of the Dust Tactics World Championship Tournament? Who will win the title of World Champion and the right to design a custom miniature along with the creator of Dust, Paolo Parente? Certainly, Sascha is a force with which to be reckoned.
More Champions to Come
We have more champions to induct into the Hall of Heroes in the coming weeks and months, but you can join their ranks!
The 2012 World Championship Tournaments are coming soon. Pre-register now for the FFG World Championship Weekend to take your shot at glory and stamp your name into the annals of history!
In FFG's Hall of Heroes, we celebrate those champions, past and present, who have etched their names into the histories of their games.

I am following what you're saying, as while it has nothing to do with the type of LNB, it seems receiver/authorization type problem, if the reboot picks up the data [so it's in the stream], but later stops/dumps it because the receiver "doesn't think" the data is applicable.Sorry...
I followed the link from another thread, and didn't realize it was an old thread.
Like the OP, you could get guide data for the channels by flushing the guide cache, but the data would disappear shortly after.
I'm commenting about it again in another thread.
Long long ago, in a test group, while not the same, my receiver wouldn't get my SD locals. It turned out to be it was blocking the TP it needed and not another one it didn't need. This took a few "tries" by DirecTV to sort out, which I think was with firmware.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Neighbors told the paper they heard what they described as loud bangs or pops in the early morning hours.
"I just heard bang, bang, bang," a neighbor said. "I didn't hear anything before it. I didn't hear anything after it. No voices. No cars. Just three bangs and nothing else."
Another neighbor said she heard popping sounds like a car backfiring in the middle of the night. It wasn't until she drove to work that she realized something had happened.

In a game played yesterday, one of my opponents chose the Warlock (random selection). Everyone else groaned, because we all know that particular player loves to spell-cycle, and he's usually quite good at it.
It started me thinking that I'd like to have some way to restrict other players, such as a Curse that could prevent someone from casting spells, or only allow them to move in a clockwise direction, or miss a turn if they land in the woods, or only be able to use their starting values in battle / psychic combat, until they were able to complete some action and remove the Curse. It would function similar to a Quest, but completing a task would remove a restriction rather than gain a reward. We all know that characters are not equal, and the ability to negate some of those inherent advantages (at least temporarily) might add a new fun element to the game.
A separate Curse deck would be ideal, and maybe could even be tied into the long anticipated Dark Fate concept (pay a Dark Fate to force someone to draw from the Curse deck!). I'd be in heaven if the 4th corner was a Swamp, filled with dark magic including a Curse deck.

Another upset-filled Saturday has changed the national landscape again. What does that mean for Week 7's Bowl Projections? Mark Schlabach and Brad Edwards look into the future and make their bowl selections.
Back to All News
And another poetntial' big loss for next year Chris Peterson. It's time for Coach Pete to make his move to the real (stable) big time. He (along with the rest of us) must be getting pretty sick of all the conference-of-the-day wrangling that's going on. With the MWC morphing into the new WAC, Boise's move this season may have backfired. And who the heck really thinks Boise should be or wants to be in the Big East? This, alone, may be the last straw for Peterson. Add to that the fact that the 2012 version of the Broncos without all of the talent as you highlighted might (might) (yes, MIGHT) be an 8-3 or even a 7-4 team with a trip to the Midas Car Care Bowl the best to which it can aspire. The Broncos likely (certainly?) will not be a pre-season or mid-season or post-season, for that matter Top 10 team. Not trying to pour kerosene on the fire here or kick the Bronco when it's down, but just saying that I think there is a reasonable, rational case for Chris Peterson to optimize his future by moving on and, though we Boise State fans may believe it's not possible, UP! How good could Coach Pete be if he could actualy attract 4-stars to campus?What say you, Penn State? How about you, UCLA?

BYU publishes Ibn Sina translation
SALT LAKE CITY, UT–Ibn Sina, the great Muslim philosopher and scientist, is being reintroduced to the modern world through translations of his works by the Brigham Young University.
A section of Avicenna's work from "The Healing" called "The Physics" was translated by Jon McGinnis, an associate professor in the department of philosophy of the University of Missouri-St. Louis. The resulting two volumes, titled "Avicenna: The Physics of 'The Healing,'" are now available as part of BYU's Middle Eastern Texts Initiative.
BYU's Middle Eastern Texts Initiative has published 16 works — including Islamic works, Eastern Christian texts and a series of works by Jewish rabbi Moses Maimonides. "Physics" is the seventh volume in the Islamic Translation Series of this initiative.
Hundreds come for Halal food course
TORONTO–In a sign of growing concerns over Halal foods hundreds of Muslim youth in the Toronto area turned out for a weekend course titled 'Precious Provisions: Fiqh of Food and Clothing,' taught by Shaykh Yasir Qadhi. Providing a comparative analysis of the rulings on food according to the various Islamic legal schools he said that a majority agrees that the food should be properly slaughtered and that the name of Allah (swt) be recited on the animal or bird.
Throwing light on the various controversies on the topic in North America he went on to demonstrate that the permissibility of the meat of the people of the book is not unconditional. He said it is permissible only if the Islamic conditions of dhabh are met.
He said that the importance of tasmiyah evident from the fact that it is even required for hunted animals, so how about non-hunted? He said that only school, the Maliki, consider the mentioning of Allah's name is Mustahab. The majority opinion either considers it to be obligatory to mention Allah's name in all circumstances or obligatory but forgiven if accidentally forgotten.
Shaykh Qadhi also discussed the reliability of the books which contain lists of halal and haram products. He said the utility of such books is limited as they are not written by Islamic scholars and adopt a a mechanical attitude in classifying products as Halal or Haram. This results in classifying things like water and milk in the prohibited category. He said that the just a presence of a particular doubtful or prohibited product on the ingredient list doesn't make a product Haram but one has to look at its quantity and state.
He urged the Muslim communities to organize locally and develop a system to monitor and certify halal stores. He also said that Muslims should respect divergent opinions and discuss things in an amicable manner.

Introduction: Lumbar epidural analgesia is considered to be the most effective method of intrapartum pain relief with the least depressant effects on the fetus compared with all other pharmacological methods. Despite the superiority and widespread availability of epidural analgesia, ethnic disparities in the provision of epidural analgesia exist. A recent retrospective study of 83,000 women using a New York State perinatal database found that African American and Hispanic women were significantly less likely to receive epidural analgesia during labor than white women, even after accounting for differences in insurance coverage (2). Patient preference, provider bias, and treatment by different physicians were not controlled for in their study making it difficult to determine whether there are true ethnic differences in epidural utilization.We have perceived a markedly different experience at our institution in regards to the acceptance and provision of labor epidural analgesia. The aims of this current study are to investigate whether there are ethnic differences in both epidural utilization and in the amount of medication used to achieve analgesia.
Methods: This was a prospective cohort study of all women with singleton fetuses in the cephalic presentation delivering at a large tertiary center in the most culturally diverse county in the USA(Queens,NY). Institutional review board approval was obtained for this prospective observational study. The study included 800 consecutive parturients in labor between July 1, 2007 and Nov 30, 2007. Exclusion criteria were planned cesarean delivery, malpresentation and multifetal gestation. Patients in active labor were given a choice for labor analgesia between parenteral fentanyl, patient controlled epidural analgesia or no medication. The nursing staff completed a data sheet for each patient containing maternal demographics and obstetrical data( Table 1). Severity of pain, efficacy of analgesia and patient satisfaction scores were measured by visual analog scale (VAS) from (1-10). Amount of bupivacaine was recorded as total dose used in milligrams and milligrams per hour for those patients who received PCEA. Statistical analysis was performed using Chi-Square test for categorical data and the Kruskal-Wallis test for continuous data to screen if any variables potentially associated with either ethnicity or epidural utilization.Multiple logistic regression was performed to determine variables that predicted patients' choice of analgesia. We chose Chinese/Korean group as the comparison group as opposed to Caucasian since they represented the dominant ethnic group at our Instituion (42.4%). We used the ethnic distribution at our Institution (see Table 1) as the basis for a sample size calculation and considered 5% difference in epidural utilization between any ethnic groups to be clinically significant. The results showed that 800 patients were necessary to show significance with alpha 5% and beta 90%.
Results: The study sample consisted of 800 patients. Ethnic diversity was seen with 42.4% of the patients Chinese-Korean, 18.8% of the patients Hispanic, 12.9% of the patients Caucasian, 9.8% of the patients African American, 8.4% of the patients Indian/Pakistani, and 7.7% others. Overall 81.9% of the patients selected epidural analgesia. There were no significant differences among the group that selected epidural compared to those who declined in regards to education and insurance (Table 1). Table 1 summarizes the result of the univariate analysis between the utiliztion of epidural. Univariate analysis according to ethnicity was measured. Age,BMI, birth weight and duration of of labor analgesia were significantly different among ethnic groups.. Chinese/Korean patients tended to be older (mean age ± SD: 29.6±4.6) and Hispanic patients were younger (27.0±5.7). BMI was highest among African Americans(31.1±6.5) and lowest in Chinese/Koreans (26.9±3.7). The Caucasian and Hispanic populations had infants that weighed the most (3.3kg±0.4, 3.4±0.6, respectively) and Indian infants weighed the least (3.2±0.4). Chinese/Korean patients had the shortest duration of analgesia (141min±104.7) and the African/American and Hispanic populations had the longest duration of analgesia (185.4min±128.3, 174.3±121.2, respectively). There were ethnic differences in epidural consumption as indicated by mg/hr bupivacaine used. Hispanic patients used the most at 7.3 mg/hr and Chinese/Korean patients used the least at 5.5 mg/hr (p< 0.0001). Operative delivery rates between the ethnic groups were not different. Pain scores and patient satisfaction of the ethnic groups as measured by visual analog score (VAS1-10) were done. The baseline pain score of those patients requesting epidural was much higher and did not vary among ethnic groups than those not requesting epidural. There were no ethnic differences in the initial VAS score or in the VAS score after epidural placement.Patients who received epidural analgesia had higher baseline VAS score (8.8±1.3) than patients not receiving epidural (3.7±1.5, p< 0.0001). There was a high level of patient satisfaction among all ethnic groups which was not significantly different.Parity and and ethnicity predicted epidural use by logistic regression. Nulliparas chose epidural more than multiparas (OR=4.0, 95% CI 2.6-6.2, p< 0.0001). Hispanics chose epidural more than Chinese/Koreans (OR=2.07,95% CI, CI 1.1-4.0,p=0.03).
Conclusion: In this study we found that when equal access to epidural analgesia is available, all ethnicities choose epidural analgesia in approximately the same proportions.Socioeconomic factors and level of education did not interfere with the high demand rate of epidural analgesia.This is in contrast to previous reports showing significant differences depending on ethnicity, and suggests that education about and availability of, epidural analgesia are important determinants of patient choice.Our results are in keeping with the goals stated in Healthy People 2010 in eliminating racial disparities in pain management(3) . Hispanic patients require further study to determine whether dose requirements and epidural utilization in mutiparous patients are actually different.

I take the time to fill out this "review" and then you tell me how many words I can use. That's excessive and although I liked the product I bought, I don't appreciate how much time it's taken me to write this.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug itself is a nice rug. However, rather than it being a red color as depicted in the photograph it is actually closer to a brown or rusty maroon in color
Very nice colors
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

What I do have no idea about is Torres's return. It should get interesting out there. I will be watching those lineups as they come out with baited breathe. While I sit by the side of a pool that has a fake crocodile in it to scare away the ducks that like to live there. I don't buy that it'll work. Ducks aren't stupid and that's a lump of plastic.

Scott Lidskin said he realizes his Illinois Old School program isn't like some of the others that populate the club basketball landscape.
A former boys basketball assistant coach at Glenbrook North, Lidskin said he makes sure his players understand their respective high school teams come first.
"We want to have a good relationship with the high schools," said Lidskin, who started Illinois Old School five years ago while he was working at Glenbrook North. "We are not trying to take their kids away. We want to be a partner with them."
Not all travel programs are alike, and that might help explain why high school coaches in the Pioneer Press coverage area have a wide range of opinions about the role clubs play in their sport.
