Ozone Layer
this wiki
The ozone layer is a layer in Earth's atmosphere containing relatively high concentrations of ozone (O3). However, "relatively high," in the case of ozone, is still very small with regard to ordinary oxygen, and is less than ten parts per million, with the average ozone concentration in Earth's atmosphere being only about 0.6 parts per million. The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere from approximately 20 to 30 kilometres (12 to 19 mi) above Earth, though the thickness varies seasonally and geographically.[1]
The ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by the French physicists Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson. Its properties were explored in detail by the British meteorologist G. M. B. Dobson, who developed a simple spectrophotometer (the Dobsonmeter) that could be used to measure stratospheric ozone from the ground. Between 1928 and 1958 Dobson established a worldwide network of ozone monitoring stations, which continue to operate to this day. The "Dobson unit", a convenient measure of the columnar density of ozone overhead, is named in his honor.
The ozone layer absorbs 97–99% of the Sun's medium-frequency ultraviolet light (from about 200 nm to 315 nm wavelength), which potentially damages exposed life forms on Earth.[2]
The photochemical mechanisms that give rise to the ozone layer were discovered by the British physicist Sidney Chapman in 1930. Ozone in the Earth's stratosphere is created by ultraviolet light striking oxygen molecules containing two oxygen atoms (O2), splitting them into individual oxygen atoms (atomic oxygen); the atomic oxygen then combines with unbroken O2 to create ozone, O3. The ozone molecule is also unstable (although, in the stratosphere, long-lived) and when ultraviolet light hits ozone it splits into a molecule of O2 and an atom of atomic oxygen, a continuing process called the ozone-oxygen cycle, thus creating an ozone layer in the stratosphere, the region from about 10 to 50 kilometres (33,000 to 160,000 ft) above Earth's surface. About 90% of the ozone in our atmosphere is contained in the stratosphere. Ozone concentrations are greatest between about 20 and 40 kilometres (66,000 and 130,000 ft), where they range from about 2 to 8 parts per million. If all of the ozone were compressed to the pressure of the air at sea level, it would be only 3 millimeters thick.[3]
Ultraviolet lightEdit
Although the concentration of the ozone in the ozone layer is very small, it is vitally important to life because it absorbs biologically harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun. Extremely short or vacuum UV (10–100 nm) is screened out by nitrogen. UV radiation capable of penetrating nitrogen is divided into three categories, based on its wavelength; these are referred to as UV-A (400–315 nm), UV-B (315–280 nm), and UV-C (280–100 nm).
UV-C, which would be very harmful to all living things, is entirely screened out by a combination of dioxygen (< 200 nm) and ozone (> about 200 nm) by around 35 kilometres (115,000 ft) altitude. UV-B radiation can be harmful to the skin and is the main cause of sunburn; excessive exposure can also cause genetic damage, resulting in problems such as skin cancer. The ozone layer (which absorbs from about 200 nm to 310 nm with a maximal absorption at about 250 nm) [4] is very effective at screening out UV-B; for radiation with a wavelength of 290 nm, the intensity at the top of the atmosphere is 350 million times stronger than at the Earth's surface. Nevertheless, some UV-B, particularly at its longest wavelengths, reaches the surface.
Ozone is transparent to most UV-A, so most of this type of longer wavelength reaches the surface, and becomes the primary type of UV from the Sun to do so. However, this type of UV radiation is significantly less harmful to DNA, although it may still potentially cause indirect genetic damage in skin (see ultraviolet for more about UV-A).
Distribution in the stratosphereEdit
This unreferenced section requires citations to ensure verifiability. (February 2013) |
The thickness of the ozone layer—that is, the total amount of ozone in a column overhead—varies by a large factor worldwide, being in general smaller near the equator and larger towards the poles. It also varies with season, being in general thicker during the spring and thinner during the autumn in the northern hemisphere. The reasons for this latitude and seasonal dependence are complicated, involving atmospheric circulation patterns as well as solar intensity.
Since stratospheric ozone is produced by solar UV radiation, one might expect to find the highest ozone levels over the tropics and the lowest over polar regions. The same argument would lead one to expect the highest ozone levels in the summer and the lowest in the winter. The observed behavior is very different: most of the ozone is found in the mid-to-high latitudes of the northern and southern hemispheres, and the highest levels are found in the spring, not summer, and the lowest in the autumn, not winter in the northern hemisphere. During winter, the ozone layer actually increases in depth. This puzzle is explained by the prevailing stratospheric wind patterns, known as the Brewer-Dobson circulation. While most of the ozone is indeed created over the tropics, the stratospheric circulation then transports it poleward and downward to the lower stratosphere of the high latitudes. However in the southern hemisphere, owing to the ozone hole phenomenon, the lowest amounts of column ozone found anywhere in the world are over the Antarctic in the southern spring period of September and October.
The ozone layer is higher in altitude in the tropics, and lower in altitude in the extratropics, especially in the polar regions. This altitude variation of ozone results from the slow circulation that lifts the ozone-poor air out of the troposphere into the stratosphere. As this air slowly rises in the tropics, ozone is produced by the overhead sun which photolyzes oxygen molecules. As this slow circulation bends towards the mid-latitudes, it carries the ozone-rich air from the tropical middle stratosphere to the mid-and-high latitudes lower stratosphere. The high ozone concentrations at high latitudes are due to the accumulation of ozone at lower altitudes.
The Brewer-Dobson circulation moves very slowly. The time needed to lift an air parcel from the tropical tropopause near 16 to 20 kilometres (9.9 to 12 mi) is about 4–5 months (about 30 feet (9.1 m) per day). Even though ozone in the lower tropical stratosphere is produced at a very slow rate, the lifting circulation is so slow that ozone can build up to relatively high levels by the time it reaches 26 kilometres (16 mi).
Ozone amounts over the continental United States (25°N to 49°N) are highest in the northern spring (April and May). These ozone amounts fall over the course of the summer to their lowest amounts in October, and then rise again over the course of the winter. Again, wind transport of ozone is principally responsible for the seasonal evolution of these higher latitude ozone patterns.
The total column amount of ozone generally increases as we move from the tropics to higher latitudes in both hemispheres. However, the overall column amounts are greater in the northern hemisphere high latitudes than in the southern hemisphere high latitudes. In addition, while the highest amounts of column ozone over the Arctic occur in the northern spring (March–April), the opposite is true over the Antarctic, where the lowest amounts of column ozone occur in the southern spring (September–October).
The ozone layer can be depleted by free radical catalysts, including nitric oxide (NO), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydroxyl (OH), atomic chlorine (Cl), and atomic bromine (Br). While there are natural sources for all of these species, the concentrations of chlorine and bromine have increased markedly in recent years due to the release of large quantities of man-made organohalogen compounds, especially chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and bromofluorocarbons.[5] These highly stable compounds are capable of surviving the rise to the stratosphere, where Cl and Br radicals are liberated by the action of ultraviolet light. Each radical is then free to initiate and catalyze a chain reaction capable of breaking down over 100,000 ozone molecules. The breakdown of ozone in the stratosphere results in the ozone molecules being unable to absorb ultraviolet radiation. Consequently, unabsorbed and dangerous ultraviolet-B radiation is able to reach the Earth's surface. Ozone levels over the northern hemisphere have been dropping by 4% per decade. Over approximately 5% of the Earth's surface, around the north and south poles, much larger seasonal declines have been seen, and are described as ozone holes.
In 2009, nitrous oxide (N2O) was the largest ozone-depleting substance emitted through human activities.[6]
In 1978, the United States, Canada and Norway enacted bans on CFC-containing aerosol sprays that are thought to damage the ozone layer. The European Community rejected an analogous proposal to do the same. In the U.S., chlorofluorocarbons continued to be used in other applications, such as refrigeration and industrial cleaning, until after the discovery of the Antarctic ozone hole in 1985. After negotiation of an international treaty (the Montreal Protocol), CFC production was sharply limited beginning in 1987 and phased out completely by 1996.[citation needed] Since that time, the treaty has been amended to ban CFC production after 1995 in the developed countries, and later in developing. Today, over 160 countries have signed the treaty. Beginning January 1, 1996, only recycled and stockpiled CFCs will be available for use in developed countries like the US. This production phaseout is possible because of efforts to ensure that there will be substitute chemicals and technologies for all CFC uses.[7]
On August 2, 2003, scientists announced that the depletion of the ozone layer may be slowing down due to the international ban on CFCs.[8] Three satellites and three ground stations confirmed that the upper atmosphere ozone depletion rate has slowed down significantly during the past decade. The study was organized by the American Geophysical Union. Some breakdown can be expected to continue due to CFCs used by nations which have not banned them, and due to gases which are already in the stratosphere. CFCs have very long atmospheric lifetimes, ranging from 50 to over 100 years. It has been estimated that the ozone layer may not recover until 2075.[9]
Compounds containing C–H bonds (such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons, or HCFCs) have been designed to replace the function of CFCs. These replacement compounds are more reactive and less likely to survive long enough in the atmosphere to reach the stratosphere where they could affect the ozone layer. While being less damaging than CFCs, HCFCs can have a negative impact on the ozone layer, so they are also being phased out.[10]

Boy Scouts Loses Bid to Block Release of More Abuse Files
The California Supreme Court has ruled that the Boy Scouts of America must hand over two decades' worth of internal documents detailing child-abuse allegations to attorneys in a molestation case, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The decision Thursday upholds lower-court rulings and clears the way for release of the so-called "perversion" files compiled by the youth charity since 1991. Last year Oregon courts ordered the Scouts to release files on sex-abuse allegations from 1965 to 1985.
The California ruling involves the case of then-13-year-old boy allegedly molested by a Scouts volunteer in 2007. The suit contends the files will expose a "culture of hidden sexual abuse" and the group's failure to warn Scouts and parents about abusive troop leaders.
National Scouts spokesman Deron Smith said the organization will comply with the order "but maintains that the files are not relevant to this suit and denies the claims raised in the suit."

Caroline Flint MP, Labour's Shadow Energy and Climate Change Secretary, commenting on the announcement that Vestas has scrapped its plan to manufacture wind turbines at a new plant on the Isle of Sheppey, which would have created 2000 jobs, said:
"Vestas' decision to pull the plug on their new plant will be a bitter blow to people in Kent already hit by the recession made in Downing Street. Time after time, the message from this Tory-led Government is that Britain isn't open for green business.
"The transformation of our economy and a new energy industrial revolution are a huge opportunity, with the potential to create 400,000 jobs and support growth, when we need them more than ever. But unless this Government ends the mixed messages, Britain could fall even further behind, sending jobs, growth and industries that should be coming to this country overseas."

Why is it So Difficult?
Sep 03rd, 2013 06:17 PM By BradI met the love of my life earlier this year. Christian, a Uruguay citizen, and I have been online friends for a couple of years yet our situations did not mesh until recently. We decided to get together, we fell in love, and now I am finding out how difficult it is for us to be together. I am blessed and thankful that I have a good job here in Michigan. I am able to afford to travel to see him, which I already have done two times this year and I have exhausted all of my vacation time for the year.
Would it be easy for me and my now fiance to get married and just come back here? Not right now. I do see the tides changing soon, but not soon enough. All long-distance relationship couples know what we are going through and they can relate. We just want to be able to hold each other. Yes, Skype is a great tool that we use on a daily basis.
The next step is he is going to try to get a visitor visa and then we are going to work on getting him a student visa. We just want to do what is right.
We give a damn! I hope the laws in this country change soon.
Sep 06th, 2011 11:50 AM By BenedictI am a European national who studied in the United States for a year. I was doing my first year in a PhD program in Las Vegas and met my current partner online. We visited each other frequently and given that my program could not fund my studies anymore, I had to quit. Since I am foreign national, I had to stay in school in order for me to remain legal in the United States. I, along with my partner, decided that I would move to his place and go to a community college in order to stay legal.
Before starting school, we both realized that this was putting a very big financial burden on us, given that I was not entitled to work in the United States, therefore my schooling was depending entirely on my US partner. Having not been able to afford school and/or to get any type of financial help from the US government, I had to leave the country in order for me not to become illegal. I tried to look for a job, but unfortunately I was not given the time of the day to even go to an interview since all the companies I applied to said that they did not sponsor foreign nationals. I felt really discriminated against.
Winged Road
Aug 04th, 2011 11:47 AM By guidoA million miles away from me lives my boyfriend of three and a half years now. I'm talking West Hollywood, Los Angeles. I live in a little village in the Netherlands. We met online, got chatting and moved on to Skype.(All people in long distance relationships love Skype) One day he invited me to come and visit him. I did in August, about 5 months after our first contact online. I got off the plane, went through customs, got my suitcase and wheeled it out into arrivals at LAX, where Tod was waiving like a madman for me to notice him. We hugged, got to the car and during the drive home we held hands and just kind of never let go again.
But we have yet to find a way to get me into America permanently. Gays aren't allowed to get married and I have no special skills that are worth getting a green card for. I'm not rich and I'm not politically in danger. And unlike in the movies, love doesn't move mountains when it comes to bureaucracy.
Any way in is only temporary, how am I to say I will be with you forever, when I'm not allowed by law to be with him forever? Does that seem right to you? How do we make love move bureaucracy out of the way?
American Ex-Pat in Sydney, Australia
Aug 04th, 2011 11:38 AM By ElcidI met my partner in New York when he was on vacation and we hit it off quite well. I moved to Sydney to see if it could work, and three years later we are still madly in love. When it comes to choosing between the love of your life and your country, there really is no competition. We would love to live in the US, but Australia has made life here for us so easy and accessible, every year that goes by we struggle to find any reason to ever go back.
I miss my mom and dad and I wish they could be here when we start to have children, but in the end, they understand why we cannot live in the US. It's a real shame, and it's a heart-breaking story that you hear all the time with ex-pats from the US, but it can and will (hopefully) change one day. Until then, I'm eternally grateful that in Australia we count as human beings whose love is worth recognising for immigration purposes.
The Costs of Inequality… Our Story
Aug 04th, 2011 11:32 AM By David and EricIt was back in the last week of October, 2008. I was in the UK visiting my partner, Eric. It was yet another of the many many trips I was taking back and forth from San Francisco to London. Being in a long-distance relationship has its own unique challenges under the best of conditions. For us, being half a world away from each other meant we tried very hard to maximize what little time we did get to spend together.
So on this particular trip, we had taken a long weekend getaway to Cornwall. It was a brilliantly sunny late afternoon at Land's End. (The extreme westerly point of the mainland of England.) We hiked over to an incredibly scenic point on the cliffs overlooking the North Atlantic. The sun was just starting to set, and the light was perfect to take pictures. So I told Eric to stand there against the panoramic view, while I took a picture. I then turned to face him, and with the setting sun shining in my eyes, I asked him to marry me.
He blinked a couple of times, and didn't say anything, and frankly my heart stopped for a moment. A split second later, he smiled in that particular way he does, that makes my knees go weak. Then looked at me and said. "I already said yes a long time ago."
I returned to the United States a few days later. While sitting on the plane, one thought kept ringing through my head like a trumpet blast. We were engaged!
I Want to Help Change My Partner's Family's Life
Aug 04th, 2011 11:17 AM By yadhiraI'm a citizen of the U.S and my girlfriend is an immigrant from Mexico. We have been together for 2 years since April, I know we love each other so much we can't imagine life without each other. She did and still has done so much for me, and I wish I could do the same for her, and not just for her but for her whole family that has been there for us as well.
Her and her brothers are some of the most talented and smartest people I have ever met, I love that no matter what they just don't give up. My girlfriend loves school and she had to leave it at 12 to work to help her family. She came here to have a better life for her and her family, but immigrants here can only go so far. She works 24/7 and never stops, but in the back of her head she is always worried about getting caught by immigration.
She got her GED and her sister graduated from high school, they both graduated with honors and won many awards along the way, but can't continue there education in collage because of their "legal status." It was so heartbreaking to see them cry when so many people offered them scholarships and couldn't take them because of that legal status thing. I know in my heart I love this girl and I would do anything for her, which is why I will move to Mexico with her, if we can't do anything about her legal situation.
Give a Damn about LOVE
Aug 04th, 2011 11:09 AM By CarolI am in love with the kindest and most beautiful woman. We've been together for more than two years working overseas on cruise ships, but it has come the time for us to settle down on land and start living the rest of our lives. She is from the States, I am Peruvian and we'd rather live in the US than in my country, since we can access to a higher quality of life and provide a better future for our children when they come.
We are both on vacation; I just came back from the States where I was spending time with her. It was the first time that we have lived together for so long in a house like a real family and it broke my heart having to leave her behind. She has found a good job back at home and I love her enough to accept that this is a great opportunity for her and if we can make it through the long distance relationship, it will be good for our future.
I am going back to work in a few days and even when we have promised that this is not going to break us apart and we will be able to see each other from time to time, I can't stop having nightmares at night… I don't wanna lose her. She is the one!.
I wish the laws change soon enough, I hope that my voice and the voices of so many others like me can be heard soon enough so we can fulfill our dreams of love and happiness- the same dreams that other bi-national straight couples can achieve.
Please give a damn.
Thank you,
Why Do I Have to Leave My Country??
Aug 04th, 2011 11:06 AM By SusanAs the title says, why do I have to leave my country to have a life with my fiance? America is supposed to be the greatest country in the world, and yet I have to choose between my country and another just for equality in marriage!!!
My fiance Karen and I have been together over 2 years now, patiently waiting for the ability for me to sponsor her for a green card… an ability that all heterosexual couples have, yet I do not. I am treated as a second class American with barely any of the same rights "normal" couples have. And that is a real shame. It's a shame that Ireland and England and 17 other countries guarantee equal rights for LGBT couples, yet my own country, the Mighty USA, does not.
I have to now find someone to take care of 2 of my 3 cats because I cannot afford to take all 3 of them with me… I have to say goodbye to my 70 year old mother who just recovered from breast cancer and needs me to be HERE for her, my family… my friends. I have to sell almost everything I own because I can't take it all with me and storage is too expensive. Why? Because my country is run by bigots. People who are so caught up in their hatred of anyone not like themselves that they work hard to keep those people from having the same rights they do.
How sad is that?
I want more than anything to be able to begin my life with my fiance… let's work together to try and make that happen for couples like myself and Karen all over the world! Stand up! Speak Out! GIVE A DAMN! I do
Thanks for reading my story,
Oak Forest, IL
Must We Leave the US to Seek Equality?
Aug 04th, 2011 10:51 AM By KyleOur story, I'm sure, is much like all the other couples who now live day by day, wondering if and when they will ever be able to live their lives in the same way as "non-same sex couples" take for granted every day. It is such a frustrating position to be in. I lived my whole life, proud to be a U.S. citizen, and sometimes feeling superior as I traveled the world for both work and vacation, thinking that I enjoy more freedoms than the people at all the places I visited. That was until I met "the one" at age 39, my job for a cruise line let me travel and enjoy the world. I felt unfulfilled at not having a partner to share the adventures of life, but had convinced myself at my age I was probably going to spend my life alone.
Then one night, while our ship was docked in Acapulco, a friend invited me out to dinner. At the last minute, he called and asked if he could invite a friend of his (another crew member on board our ship) along. I said sure, the more the merrier. I was waiting on the pier, and my buddy and his friend came down the gangway. I recognized the other guy as someone I had seen around the ship, but never met. We were introduced (his name was Ricardo), and headed into town for dinner. The conversation came very easy between us, and during dinner, my eyes met my new friend several times. Was he just being friendly, or actually looking at me.
A Marriage Apart
Aug 02nd, 2011 06:30 PM By Mark AllanMe and my long time boyfriend just got married last September 3, 2010 in Victoria B.C. We've been boyfriends for almost 3 years before marrying each other. I am from the Philippines and he is from New York. We've been in a long distance relationship for the longest time.
Though we are married, we still have no choice to live apart since my husband cannot sponsor me to be with him in the USA due to their Immigration Law. I even had to get a job here in Canada just to be closer to him… But it's still not enough! We, as a married couple should have the same "Rights" as any other married couple has.
WE deserve "MARRIAGE EQUALITY"
We are just one of the thousands of bi-national couples out there seeking our well deserved "Rights."
Please help us start building our "LIFE TOGETHER"… Please give a DAMN!

Goodwill, Salvation Army Thrift Stores Selling Books on the Internet
Category selling-more-books
Have you ever went into a thrift store such as Goodwill or Salvation Army with your trusty book scouting scanner and started scanning away? After an hour or two you find that you've only picked out a handful of listable books. You then think to yourself, "I wonder if another online bookseller has been here before me." Little did you know that online bookseller may have been the thrift store itself!
Check out this article about thrift stores selling books on the Internet. It looks like we're competing with the big dogs!
Yes, it's true. Some thrift stores including Goodwill and the Salvation Army aren't giving you those dirt cheap books anymore and doing the dirty work themselves of listing online. They've found that we've been buying books out from under their noses all this time and have been making a nice profit off of the books that are donated to them. I can't get as aggravated about this as if another bookseller was taking my stock, unfortunately. Thrift stores exist to give jobs to unfortunate individuals and to generate money for charitable events. I'd much rather get beaten to the punch by the thrift store than one of my blood-sucking, proft-driven fellow online booksellers!
In all honesty, I've known that Goodwill sells a lot of books online due to some conversations I've had with Indaba Systems. They are Goodwill's vendor for listing software. I sighed whenever I first heard that.
In the future, it may be a good decision to ask an employee or two if they sell their books online before you start scouting. I'd be miffed if I searched through a few hundred books and find that there were no gems in there because they've already been cherry picked. If you're going to ask, I'd approach it as a customer and not as a bookseller though. I've found it's always best to be as discrete as possible.

WATERBURY, Vt.-Another strong performance from the Keurig line of single-serve brewers and beverage cups drove parent company Green Mountain Coffee Roaster (GMCR) to an increase of 30 percent in third-quarter net income, to $73.3 million.
GMCR's net sales in the quarter, which ended on June 23, totaled $869.2 million, up 21.1 percent over the third quarter of last year. Sales in the quarter included a 31 percent jump in sales of single-serve beverage packs and a 32 percent gain in sales of brewers and accessories. Notable in the latter category with the $20 million in sales racked up by the Vue brewer and Vue packs, which were launched last year.
GMCR's third-quarter gross margin finished at 34.9 percent, down 192 basis points from last year. Operating expenses rose 19.9 percent but were down 22 basis points as a percentage of sales, to 20 percent.
While noting GMCR's third-quarter successes, Lawrence Blanford, president and CEO, added, "As we become larger…our sales growth trajectory will understandably moderate from hyper-growth to a level more in line with other successful growth businesses." Blanford said GMCR expects to deliver sales growth in the range of 15 to 20 percent, along with earnings growth in the mid-teens, over the long term.

I dunno, Ed Power. I am a citizen of your friend to the south and live in a fairly conservative area. I have had occasion to pass by Tea Party Patriot rallies on occasion and have observed them on the media news. The reports that you seem to get and repeat as God's own truth I have personally seen NO evidence of. Those I have seen on wildly left/liberal leaning "news" reports are wildly misrepresentative of what actually occured. It seems that the liberal perspective is sonomous with a truth narrative (whether true or not) that is the Holy Grail and must be reinforced and advocated no matter where any pesky real/objective evidence may take you. I watched the news media as some of our own government clowns ambled through a Tea Party rally in Washington, D.C. attempting to stir them up without any reaction whatsoever other than to get out of their way to let them pass only to have the media go through the usual littany of alleged intimidation, racist comments and other fairy tale narrations. Bottom line, be careful what you absorb from the main stream media in the good old USA. It is unashamadly left leaning and selective. Some of the local news is pretty straight up, however, the national outlets are extremely selective on what is reported and quick to take whatever statement best reinforces its accepted liberal narrative. There is plenty of published material on that if you are interested.

I dunno, Auntie Liz, maybe if the Speaker were to actually control the House instead of letting the children run amok, you might have a point. Still, it's no different here than anywhere else in Canada. Some pundits blame the boorish behaviour on the TV cameras, but I'm not sure if this entirely the case. If you watch televised debates in the US Congress, the Mother Parliament in England, Germany, France or other countries, you don't see this sort of behaviour. You can argue that they are different political forums, and with different rules, but I don't see the elected representatives in those counntries - the US Tea Party Patriots being an exception - engaging in such shrill, ignorant, disrespectful and childish behaviour. Behaviour that wouldn't be tolerated in a schoolroom, playground or modern workplace , is not just accepted as the norm in our Canadian Houses , but is televised, and the "hits and bodyblows" are played and replayed in all their 15 second highlight glory on the nightly news broadcasts. And the pundits and experts bemoan the falling voter turnout in elections, and wonder why ordinary citizens are tuning out of the political process? It's because we see them at work and it ain' t a pretty sight. Maybe if we were to turn the cameras off they might behave better. It certainly couldn't hurt. I always found that my two-year olds would quickly settle down when we ignored their temper tantrums...

why don't the government let some one go in and confront the house leader and express the concerns of corruption that is gone on and going on,you have a government that is in contempt former premier danny williams can go in and voice concerns and that is allowed and they come back and say russell do not under stand what is gone on YES he do ???? AND SO DO THE GOVERNMENT and what is going on is the governments do not want you to know what is gone on and going on ask frazer march he knows what went on that is when he was hired to be an obudsmen what went wrong with the house rules then so we do not know who some one is trying to fool if that is what the government is trying to do because that is all they are doing is TRYING????

Aunt Lizzie, You seem to know a lot about parliamentary procedure and who the rules should apply to and so on - so let me ask you this, if I may. Do you believe that confident, secure people need to yell out, interrupt, and heckle (as they call it) during a meeting of the House of Assembly? And if so, why?

Russell, you say the PUB has to balance the needs of the customers against the needs of the power suppliers, especially when the those suppliers are the only source of that electricity. The need of the customers is primarily that of low cost energy for heat and light. That energy comes from electricity but also from efficiency. Energy from efficiency is free, but the equipment is not. In 2008 the PUB ordered the power companies to improve customers efficiency, but they have done a poor job, and treat this as a joke. So what happens if the PUB orders the power companies to deliver 40 Megawatts per year of cost effective efficiency to the residential customers? And orders that these efficienies be tendered for delivery via a competitive bid process. Or orders that these efficiencies be delivered by other than the power companies , as in other jurisdictions. Nfld power is using the yardstick of the cost of Holyrood power, about 19 cents per kwh, to justify their generation upgrades . And efficiency comes in at much lower cost than that. Is Andy Wells without means to deliver on this option to protect customers from high electricity costs? However, such moves to protect the customer will likey be outlawed by the government. They need every loophole to screw the consumer in favour of the need for electricity demand to remain high and grow to favour MF. Maybe such efficiency benefits may violate the federal term sheet?

When you elect several consecutive governments with little or no oppostion, you get the predictable and well-deserved result --- dysfunctiion, unaccountability, and dangerously power-drunk government. And in Newfoundland's case, when you start with a political talent pool that is so shallow, unskilled, poorly educated and inexperienced in anything...well, let;s just say that any perceived "leanings" of the Speaker of the House is the least of our problems.

It is Russel Wangersky's colours that are really showing here. There is no evidence in this column that the occupants of the Speaker's chair in the House of Assembly are anything other than impartial and professional. Just because Minister O'Brien has a bit of fun with the rule that MHAs must address the Speaker instead of the Opposition, that doesn't say anything about the conduct of the Speaker. And just because the Speaker often rules Opposition amendments out of order doesn't mean anything either. The Opposition often moves amendments it knows are out of order, just to make a point. If Wangersky could give a concrete example of the Speaker applying any particular rule differently to the Government and the Opposition, then he would have a useful article. Instead, all he has written here is a pro-Opposition, anti-Government diatribe.

Aunt Lizzie, you've got to be kidding. Get real. The day Dunderdake and Wiseman skipped up to the Speakers chair sealed it for me. Wiseman's complete buffoonery seems to fit well for the position though. On that note Mr. O'Brien would be a good fit to.

Furniture is being bought at Armenian Parliament
08:30, 05.06.2012
YEREVAN. – Armenian National Assembly's (NA) new MPs are busy these days with acquiring furniture, Yerkir daily writes.
"It has become apparent that the office furniture of the fourth National Assembly MPs who did not pass to the fifth NA has been distributed—if, of course, they did not take it along as dowry—and the new deputies are forced to purchase new furniture which, subsequently, they probably will leave as souvenir to NA Staff," Yerkir writes.

Ten years ago there was no Facebook or Twitter. Fifteen years ago broadband access to the internet in your home was an unimaginable luxury. Just twenty years ago you still had to buy your books, music and feature films from a high street shop. The digital revolution might still be young, but it has arguably brought about the biggest change in our lifestyles in the last two hundred years.
Where did it all begin? How does it work? Where is it going? These are just some of the questions answered in My digital life.
My digital life is your introduction to the next twenty years of computers and the internet, whether you are:
You'll be taken on a journey from the most familiar, personal technologies through to the computer systems that span the entire world. It will give you a view of the future in which computers stop being discrete boxes on desks and become part of almost every manufactured object. The ubiquitous computer of tomorrow promises, or perhaps threatens, to change the world beyond recognition. My digital life explains why this change is coming and the opportunities and challenges it brings.
Through six themed teaching blocks you'll cover the key aspects of modern computer technology. Each block includes a blend of printed and online text, pictures, animations and practical activities. Specially recorded audio and video materials accompany the teaching material. These include interviews with leading researchers, experts, companies and users from a wide range of countries, including the USA, Nepal, Iceland and Switzerland.
My digital life isn't just about reading. It's about doing things and learning as you do them. Just some of the things you will do are:
During the course of learning about these things you will address topics as diverse as:
My digital life is not just something you will study; it is a community you will join. You won't be learning in isolation – you'll be sharing your work with your fellow students, friends and family – and with the rest of the world.
My digital life wants you to feel passionately about the subjects it covers so that you will be in a position to give informed evaluations – as an employer or an employee and as a citizen. You'll be encouraged to form – and possibly change – your own opinions, to discuss and to argue your point of view.
My digital life gives you an opportunity to develop your own rich, interactive applications running on your computer and to share them with fellow students. You'll build your programming skills through problem-solving, through exploration of novel concepts and through play. To help you in this, you will use two specially created technologies that turn My digital life into a hands-on exploration of computer and online technologies – the specially designed language Sense and the SenseBoard.
Sense – a completely new approach to computing deserves to be taught in a completely new manner. Almost from the very beginning, you'll be running, designing and writing computer programs. You will be using the specially designed language – Sense – so called because it can be used to sense the world.
Unlike other computer languages you may have seen or used, Sense doesn't rely on cryptic text commands; instead you assemble Sense programs using graphical blocks. Creating a Sense program can be as simple as clicking two blocks together and pressing the Run button!
You'll begin your work in Sense by following the first of many guided activities accompanied by text and video instructions. Soon you'll be modifying existing programs and writing completely new ones of your own.
Sense lets you do much more than program your own computer; it lets you send information to the internet and receive it from other machines. You will use Sense to write simple online games, download news from sites such as the BBC, and even let your fellow students know what you are up to.
Sense is intended to give you the skills to design programs in any language. Once you've had experience with Sense you will understand how programs are designed and written. If you choose to study programming at a higher level you will see the same structures and patterns appearing in completely different languages. If you're an experienced programmer you'll appreciate the value of working with software objects and message passing between objects; concepts that are fundamental to modern computer programming.
The SenseBoard – the vision of the ubiquitous computer hasn't been realised yet, so there's plenty of opportunity for you or one of your fellow students to invent it. The SenseBoard has been designed to work with Sense and give you a few of the features of a research laboratory in something that sits in the palm of your hand.
Connect the SenseBoard to your computer, install the provided software and you're ready to go. Use the SenseBoard on its own, or with the supplied sensors and motor to build a weather station, a home security device or a device from your imagination. Everything just clicks together – no solder, no danger and no experience needed.
You can program every feature of your SenseBoard using Sense. They have been designed to work together to allow you to concentrate on what you want to do rather than worrying about how to do it.
You never know – you might just invent the future.
If you are considering Accreditation of Certificated Practitioners 1 (MT127), to gain credit for specified, non-OU, practice-based qualifications that you already have, normally you should have successfully completed this academic OU module.
You will have a tutor who will help you with the study material and mark and comment on your written work, and whom you can ask for advice and guidance. If you are new to the OU, you will find that your tutor is particularly concerned to help you with your study methods. We may also be able to offer group tutorials or day schools that you are encouraged, but not obliged, to attend. Where your tutorials are held will depend on the distribution of students taking the module. In addition, there will be online tutorials and other collaborative activities which will take place in your tutor group's online forum. Throughout your study you can use this forum to keep in touch with your tutor and with other members of your tutor group.
Contact us if you want to know more about study with The Open University before you register.

How Much Does It Cost To Treat Acne?
Treating acne is something that requires the purchase of many different products. Some of these acne treatments can cost a pretty penny and may shock you when it is time to make the purchase. Luckily it is not necessary to buy the most expensive product you see sitting on the shelf. Most acne products are prepared with the basic same ingredients, so spending more will not provide results any faster.
With that being said you are probably wondering how much it will cost you to treat acne. There are several factors that contribute to the amount that will be spent to treat acne. Those factors include the type of acne that you have, the brand of products that you want, where you purchase your acne products and the length of time you plan to use these products.
OTC products are available to treat acne and are commonly used by most that are affected by the condition. Prescription medications are more costly though some insurance may help absorb some of those costs. For more acne treatment tips, visit http://www.solveacnetoday.com/.
The type of acne product that you want to purchase will also weigh in on the costs of the product. There are several different choices out there including cleansers, toners and astringents, moisturizers, on spot treatments and regular treatments. Most dermatologists recommend that you use a combination of therapies to find the best results in your condition.
Typically you can expect the cost of these products to range in price from about $5 all the way up to $100 or more. Again, purchasing one of the more expensive products isn't likely to show any better results than one of the cheaper options.
If you do not want to spend a fortune to treat acne it is in your best interest to compare products and prices. You can do this with the help of the web and a few minutes of your time. Take a look at the various products that are offered as well as reviews and other information. Doing this can help you find an amazing product that is priced within your budget.
Additionally you can save money on your acne products by looking for coupons, promotional codes and special offers. These things are provided free of charge to anyone who is willing to take the time to find them. Many acne treatments are available in sets, which will help save money as well.

This five-day course provides a comprehensive and practical hands-on introduction to developing Web applications using ASP.NET 3.5 and C#. It includes an introduction to using ASP.NET AJAX to build rich client applications. ASP.NET is introduced as a Web programming platform that overcomes a number of limitations of ASP. Its architecture is outlined, including the role of compilation, the Page class and code-behind. Web Forms are introduced, including server controls, viewstate, life cycle, and the event model. Request/response HTTP programming using ASP.NET is covered.
Visual Studio 2008 is used to greatly simplify the development of ASP.NET Web applications, including facilitating UI design. ASP.NET Web applications are covered, including issues of application and session state and the use of cookies. Server controls represent an important innovation in ASP.NET and are covered in detail, including validation, rich controls, and user controls. There is an introduction to caching in ASP.NET, which provides an effective mechanism for optimizing the performance of your ASP.NET application. The fundamentals of configuration and security are introduced. Diagnostics and debugging are covered, including the use of tracing.
Additional server controls are introduced, including menus and master pages. Data access is covered in some detail in two chapters, including an introduction to ADO.NET, Language Integrated Query (LINQ), and the powerful data access controls provided by ASP.NET 3.5. There is further discussion of security using membership and roles, and personalization features such as themes, skins and Web parts are introduced. This section of the course is tied together by a progressive case study illustrating a Web site for a publishing company.
The final section of the course introduces rich client-side development with ASP.NET AJAX and covers the architecture and programming of the HTTP pipeline.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES: * Gain a thorough understanding of the philosophy and architecture of Web applications using ASP.NET * Acquire a working knowledge of Web application development using Web Forms and Visual Studio 2008 * Optimize an ASP.NET Web application using configuration, security, and caching * Access databases using ADO.NET and LINQ * Use new features in ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.5 * Implement rich client applications using ASP.NET AJAX * Customize Web applications through the use of HTTP handlers and modules
This course is designed for experienced application developers and architects responsible for Web applications in a Microsoft environment.
The student should have a good working knowledge of C# and the .NET Framework. Knowledge of JavaScript recommended for the last chapter.

"Made a good looking muffin. I put a small dollop of Zentis strawberry-rhubarb-vanilla preserves in the middle before baking.

"A fantastic recipe! True to their word, the pancakes are fluffy! Be careful to cook them well to avoid undercooked centers-- although they will be slightly moist because of the pumpkin. I subbed all brown sugar for the white, and with great results!"
"This is a fabulous recipe! Most strawberries baked into muffins, cakes, or cupcakes turn out slimy, unappealing, and not very true to their real flavor; this proved otherwise! The recipe I used called for 1/3 cup of puree, which I used, and they came out marvelously. The batter and the finished product smelled and tasted like strawberry ice cream!..."

DFA endorses candidates at all levels of office from School Board to Presidency. A DFA endorsement brings our national network of activists together, providing key resources to the endorsed campaign: Time, People, Money and Media.
DFA endorses candidates at all levels of office from School Board to Presidency. A DFA endorsement brings our national network of activists together, providing key resources to the endorsed campaign: Time, People, Money and Media.
The driving force behind all DFA endorsements is our members. We recognize that all politics is local and that what is considered progressive in Los Angeles may be very different from what's considered progressive in Louisville. For this reason, DFA does not have a litmus test of specific progressive positions for which a candidate must stand. Our endorsement is heavily weighted based on these questions:
• Will the candidate move the progressive movement forward in their community?
• Does the candidate have substantial support from our local members?
• Do the candidate's positions and policies fit into the broader progressive movement?
• Is the campaign people-powered and the candidate working to win?
If you have questions, or want to let us know about a candidate in your neighborhood, please call us at (802) 651-3200 or email us at [email protected] .

This topic actually came about one day when I was going for a walk following a crazy workday. I could just feel my mind racing, and my brain just wouldn't shut off. The workday was over, and I just couldn't stop thinking about work. In the following article I am going to try and break down the mind of myself, and in turn those who spend their time working on the internet. I hope some of you out there can relate to this "fragmented mindset".
Now some of you might be thinking that working on the web must be easy. We just sit in our chair all day, maybe even in our pjs, and get to have fun on the web. Some of this is true, but our work isn't the physical nature, but rather 100% mental. All jobs have some kind of mental component, but in my opinion there is few jobs more taxing on the human mind than working on the web.
Here are a couple of reasons:
The following are some best practices for fighting this unproductive mindset:
I must make a bit of a confession here. I fail at all four of these things daily. I know I should be doing them, but they just don't happen. This is because we either lose track of time, let our deadlines get the best of us, or we just have too much fun learning.
How do you cope with the "fragmented mindset"? I want to hear your thoughts in the comments.
A smoke break on the hour every hour works well for me
But I also try to work in a secluded environment with as few distractions as possible. Of course, summer time is awesome for bringing the laptop outside, so you have to compromise!
thanks for the comment Nathan! I guess your the only person that reads what I post haha. Yeah I wish I could work outside more. I miss my dual monitors too much and so much glare outside…

ValacyclovirGeneric GenvirValacyclovir is actually a "prodrug," in that it is not active itself. Rather, it is converted to acyclovir (Zovirax) in the body, and it is the acyclovir that is active against the viruses. Genvir has a longer duration of action than acyclovir, and, therefore, can be taken fewer times each day. Genvir is used to treat genital herpes in patients with a normal immune system. Valacyclovir can also be used to control genital herpes outbreaks in all patients including those with HIV. This is also known as suppressive therapy.
