Sept. 14 (Bloomberg) -- The euro declined against the dollar and yen on concern Greece's debt woes will raise borrowing costs for other countries in the region, including Spain, which is due to sell bonds tomorrow.
The euro weakened versus the yen for a fifth day after China's Premier Wen Jiabao signaled developed nations should cut deficits and create jobs rather than relying on his country to bail out the world economy. The dollar held a two-day slide against Japan's currency before data that may show U.S. retail sales growth moderated in August. Australia's dollar dropped for a fifth day versus the greenback as Asian shares slid.
"Over the next week or two, the bias would be to the downside because you keep seeing a deterioration in sentiment," said Mike Burrowes, a currency strategist at Bank of New Zealand Ltd. in Wellington. "That's pressuring the euro lower."
The euro fell 0.5 percent to 104.75 yen as of 8:23 a.m. in London from 105.25 in New York yesterday. It reached 103.90 on Sept. 12, the lowest since June 2001. The shared currency dropped 0.4 percent to $1.3625. The dollar was little changed at 76.87 yen from 76.96.
The MSCI Asia Pacific index of stocks slumped 1.9 percent, while the Stoxx Europe 600 Index declined 0.3 percent.
"Countries must first put their own houses in order," Wen said today at the World Economic Forum in Dalian, China. He reiterated his message in June that China can offer "a helping hand" to Europe through investing there and called on the European Union and the U.S. to open their markets in return.
Bond Sales
Spain is scheduled to auction securities maturing in 2019 and 2020 tomorrow. Italy sold 3.9 billion euros ($5.3 billion) of five-year notes yesterday at an average yield of 5.6 percent, up from 4.93 percent at the previous auction. Demand dropped to 1.28 times the amount on offer, from 1.93 times.
"The bigger elephant in the room is really what's happening in Italy and Spain where you're seeing their bond yields rise and getting close to levels where potentially it becomes impossible for them to fund themselves in the market," Bank of New Zealand's Burrowes said.
The euro maintained losses after Moody's Investors Service downgraded ratings for French banks Societe Generale SA and Credit Agricole SA.
The ratings company cut Societe Generale's debt and deposit ratings by one notch to Aa3 from Aa2 and said it was extending its review of the bank's C+ Bank Financial Strength rating. Moody's downgraded Credit Agricole's long-term ratings to Aa2 from Aa1 "on Greek exposures" and cut the bank's BFSR rating to C from C+.
The euro has depreciated 1.3 percent in the past month, the second-worst performer tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Currency indexes after the Swiss franc.
Papandreou Call
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou holds a conference call with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy today to discuss developments in his nation and the euro area.
Merkel, in a German radio interview broadcast yesterday, said that an "uncontrolled insolvency" would further roil markets spooked by the prospect of a Greek default. The euro region currently has no system for "orderly" insolvency until the permanent rescue fund is established in 2013, she said.
The so-called troika of the International Monetary Fund, European Central Bank and European Commission representatives will return to Greece this week to review the nation's economy, the German chancellor said. Following the review the team will make a recommendation on the release of the sixth tranche of loans under a bailout secured in May of last year.
Retail Sales
The dollar headed lower against the yen before reports that may indicate the U.S. economy is slowing, boosting speculation the Federal Open Market Committee will add monetary stimulus at its Sept. 20-21 meeting.
Federal Reserve policy makers will meet for two days this month, rather than the single day originally scheduled, to "allow a fuller discussion" of the economy and the central bank's possible response, according to Chairman Ben S. Bernanke.
U.S. advance retail sales rose 0.2 percent in August compared with a 0.5 percent advance in July, the median estimate of a Bloomberg News survey of economists showed ahead of Commerce Department figures today. A producer price index remained flat last month, after gaining 0.2 percent in July, according to a separate survey.
Australian's currency weakened against most of its major peers after the statistics bureau released new methodology for calculating seasonally adjusted inflation that indicated the Reserve Bank of Australia's core measures may have been lower last quarter.
"These are considered the RBA's preferred measures of inflation and it's something that may weigh on the Aussie as it heats up the argument that inflation is not such a significant issue now," said Chris Weston, an institutional trader at IG Markets in Melbourne.
The so-called Aussie slid 0.8 percent to $1.0233, after earlier reaching $1.0187, the least since Aug. 11. It dropped 0.9 percent to 78.66 yen.

Pictures Of The Game Of Thrones Cast Having Some Fun
The Game Of Thrones cast has to be some of the most popular people in the television industry at the moment. We are so used to seeing them in 16th century garb or covered in grime that it was nice to see them in their normal lives.
The pictures showcase the cast having fun at photo-shoots, premiere parties, in their hotel rooms. These pictures in a way also help the fan base to connect with these stars while making them even more real. Also their good looks are quite evident once they have removed all those heavy furs and grime off of them.
Check out the pictures below though if you're looking for Joffrey, it looks like he wasn't invited to the party.

Sometimes when I invoke FullSimplify
on a large expression, I get a series of messages like this:
FullSimplify::ztest1 "Unable to decide whether numeric quantity «1» is equal to zero. Assuming it is."
I suppose Mathematica makes this assumption when numeric calculations with reasonably high precision do not produce a number that can be distinguished from the exact 0
While in certain cases this is useful, I want to be able to disable this assumption in cases that I believe involve tiny non-zero quantities.
Is it possible to disable this kind of assumption in FullSimplify

Here is some of the work that I have done.
Digital best practices book
How should sports brands interact with fans and customers across all social platforms? Strategies and tactics need to be different for each, and this book is a "best practices" guide for the most important ones – Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram, to name a few. The book also includes some predictions for the future – particularly gamification and wearables.
Shnarped – brand convictions
I consulted with Shnarped Hockey during the summer of 2014. The Vancouver-based start-up received funding after successfully pitching the company's vision to CBC's Dragon's Den. They are focused on improving and strengthening the fan-athlete connection, and are working with teams and athletes throughout the world of professional hockey – NHL, AHL, CHL, ECHL, and even teams from the NCAA, too.
Nike hockey copy campaign
Nike may not be an official sponsor of the NHL any more, but they still have individual agreements with players such as Steven Stamkos and PK Subban. Here are a few campaigns I mocked up for an #earnyourice – implying that the quality and effort of your play determines your amount of ice time – digital campaign.
College Football Playoff – brand strategy
A group of Warsaw Sports Marketing MBA's and I consulted with and provided strategic recommendations for the CFP executive team in Texas as they prepared for the inaugural season of the new CFP system (which replaced the BCS). Our recommendations were utilized across a number of social platforms throughout 2014, and our work was also featured in an August 2014 issue of the Sports Business Journal.
Debunking stereotypes in sport
Created a brand-athlete sponsorship connection with Sharpie, giving sports stars with off-the-field pursuits and passions from NASCAR, the NFL, and the NHL a platform to tell their story while creating new meaning for the world 'athlete.'
Train with PUSH – tagline and copy
Worked with a fitness wearable start-up to create a new tagline in advance of the launch of a new logo and website. Through changing the tagline from 'Strength in Numbers' to 'Train With Purpose,' I wanted to convey a few things. 1) The focus on the gym and exercise, as this wearable is for athletes and strength training. 2) The fact that this wearable allows everything to be measured – sets, reps, power, force, and so on. Every single movement should be done with purpose.

Gear Review
So sick!
I bought this in grey, from a store. I got the small. It fits true to size, I even find it to be a little big which is great because that makes plenty of room for either 2 small hoodies, or one huge one. It's not quite warm enough for -40 winters, but I toughed it out anyways. Love the fleece lined pockets for days when it's too warm for mitts. And it covers your chin on those unbearably cold days. Oh and I get a ton of compliments every time I wear it.

Skinny Cow Low Fat Ice Cream Sandwich and Skinny Cow Vanilla Skinny Dippers have already received rave reviews, so when I saw the Skinny Cow Truffle Bars - available in chocolate and French vanilla flavors, I picked up a box (of the chocolate flavor) right away. a 6-pack box cost me $5.99, which was a bit pricey but less so with a coupon from the website.
After unwrapped the bar, I found a pleasingly large chocolate bar drizzled with crisscrossing patterns of chocolate ribbons. I took a bite and savored the flavor. It was rich, not icy, and the chocolate was perfect. That said, I didn't experience the same flavors as a rich truffle ice cream but it was good regardless.
Each Skinny Cow Chocolate Truffle Bar provides 100 calories from 2 grams of fat (4% of the daily value), 2 grams of saturated fat (8% of the DV), 50 mg of sodium (2% of the DV), 3 grams of protein and 19 grams of total carbohydrates which includes 12 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fiber. There is also 8% of the RDA for calcium. A look at the ingredients list reveals that they do use sorbitol which is a sugar alcohol and natural sweetener.
Skinny Cow definitely didn't let me down with this one. I hope the price will go down a bit in the near future, but I'll continue to buy these bars to satisfy my ice cream fix. Try these for a healthy chocolate swap!

Interface Builder has not changed in any fundamental ways since it debuted in 1988 with NeXTstep.
Unlike crappy Microsoft tools for the 90's, it is NOT a screen drawing tool. It is an object instantiation and configuration tool. You set the properties and relationships between live objects graphically. The objects are then archived (serialized) and later unarchived (deserialized) into your running iOS app.

Re:The web and hyper text are a challenge (211 comments)
As a university instructor, I disagree. Many subjects are presentable in sensible sequence with knowledge neatly building on prior knowledge. The entire curriculum is created with prerequisite and co-requisite courses. Attempting a 400 level class without having mastered the 100 level course content is a recipe for pointless struggle.
Wikipedia is a great resource. It's articles are self contained and generally rely only on general knowledge. Wikipedia is not a good source for delving deep into subjects.
Having said that, I use wikipedia extensively. There is almost an entire Computer Science undergraduate curriculum in there. t still requires a guide. There are still sensible paths through the information. Here is a great example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibonacci_heap In the context of a Data Structures course, that is a great page. What benefit would that page provide to somebody who has never programmed and doesn't know what a data structure is? You can follow links to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heap_(data_structure) and then http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_structure and then you are directed to dead-tree textbooks that explain the topics in a sensible sequence.
Re:Stack Overflow (211 comments)
The blind leading the blind. People who can't tell good answers from bad upvote bad answers. Try searching for some topic that you know a lot about and see what I mean.
Stack Overflow (211 comments)
In my opinion, Stack Overflow is most often the blind leading the blind. There will be 20 wrong answers, 10 answers to the wrong question, 2 suboptimal solutions, and if you are in luck there will be 1 good solution. Now, tell me which is which. It seems to me that the good answer is almost always buried under crap.
Stack overflow questions are often badly stated and difficult to find with more correct search terms. If you don't even know the search terms, the site is useless.
There have been a few times when stack overflow saved me a lot of time. There have been many times when stack overflow has been a pointless time sink.
The web and hyper text are a challenge (211 comments)
As an author of three successful dead-tree programming books, I have a few observations.
1) I use the electronic versions myself because of easy search (better than an index) and copy/paste.
2) In book format, it's possible to lead a reader through topics in a sensible order that builds on prior topics.
3) The challenge with electronic/on-line documentation is that there is no expectation that readers will approach the material in any particular order. Readers type a search term into google and up pops a page or two of documentation. How can the author make safe assumptions about the definitions of terms and prior conceptual knowledge the reader will have? Adding links to the definitions of terms and links to chapter oriented conceptual documentation doesn't usually help because readers are impatient, and there is no good place in the middle of the documentation to start.
4) Many readers don't know the terms to type into google and therefore aren't lead to the relevant conceptual documentation even if they would have read it had they known.
Re:Proportional representation (500 comments)
Each USA citizen votes for one representative in the House of Representatives and two Senators. Each representative represents slightly less than 1,000,000 people. Given voting rates, a US Representative can get elected with as few as 200,000 supporters.
Residents in Wyoming, Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota, Alaska, Delaware, and Montana can elect senators with as few as 200,000 supporters.
Small interest groups in large states like California and New York are unlikely to get any representation unless they happen to be concentrated within one or two congressional districts. Of course, that's the case in places like New York City and San Francisco where individual neighborhoods are almost sufficient to elect their own representatives to congress. Barney Frank of Massachusetts's 4th congressional district is a stirling example of a congressman with a vary narrow and special interest constituency. See also Charles Rangel who represents the Harlem portions of Manhattan.
In a proportional representation system, would Harlem have any representation? Would anyone in North Dakota be represented?
Re:Proportional representation (500 comments)
Instead of CITIES I should have said metropolitan areas. For example, Dallas TX contains 1,223,229 people and Fort Worth TX contains 758,738 people and the Dallas/Fort Worth metropolitan area contains 6,526,548 people
Re:Proportional representation (500 comments)
5% in the USA is between 15,000,000 and 20,000,000 people! You want to exclude people who can find 15,000,000 people who support their platform?

Cody claims teacher performance doesn't correlate (216 comments)
Cody claims teacher performance doesn't correlate with student achievement. I believe him. I don't agree with his assertions that schools are underfunded and couldn't educate poor students even with more funding.
There is even less correlation between cost per student and student performance than between teacher and student performance.http://www.npri.org/blog/does-more-spending-increase-student-performancehttp://www.reuters.com/article/2007/05/24/us-usa-education-spending-idUSN2438214220070524http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2012/03/02/opinion/doc4f51a55f28207547363660.txthttp://www.ctpost.com/news/article/Little-correlation-found-between-per-pupil-823833.php
It is common for urban poor school districts to cost much more per student than the surrounding suburbs. Look at Kansas City or Washington DC for stark examples.
Seriously, spending more than $10,000 per year per student is a travesty. A class with 30 students should not cost $300,000 and the money is not going to the teacher!
I agree, end the war on drugs and greatly reduce parent incarceration rates.
I agree, find employment for everybody that raises them above poverty.
I agree, support family planning, pre-natal care, nutrition, and free pre-school or head start.
But, it isn't poverty exactly or school financial resources that predict student performance. It's culture. There is an urban poor culture that doesn't exist among poor rural students, and the outcomes differ. How can we change the culture that devalues education? How can we change the violence and street power culture? How can we convince people not to have children that are later neglected and abused?
The first round of cuts should be simple (1306 comments)
We have a larger navy than the next 11 countries combined, and 9 of those are our allies.
Step 1) Reduce navy to the save of the next 5 countries combined.
We have more agriculture department employees than there are farmers.
Step 2) Eliminate all farm subsidies and cut the agriculture department to the bone.
We fight too many wars
Step 3) Stop fighting wars and eliminate supplemental war expenditures.
Stop fighting the "war on drugs" and every other "war on..." that we have been loosing since the 1960s. Get over it already.
Step 4) Stop prosecuting and start taxing vices and victimless crimes.
I currently work as a defense contractor, and I know first that the government is incompetent and defense spending is largely wasteful.

Objective-C is easy - frameworks take time (111 comments)
Saying you don't have time to learn Objective-C is ridiculous. If you know Java, It takes half a day to learn Objective-C. The time consuming part of learning any new technology/platform is learning the frameworks. Cocoa and Cocoa Touch are huge and use design patterns that many coders do not already know. Fortunately, the design patterns are used everywhere, and they are used consistently. Once you understand and recognize the patterns, there is no more productive and flexible framework on the planet.
Frankly, learning the design patterns will make you a better programmer no matter what platform you choose. It's worth it just to advance your computer science knowledge.

Thanks. (129 comments)
Thanks. I have read much the same in the documentation. I suspect I just have to gain experience with the framework to get a feeling for which class to use when. For example, I don't see any reason why I can't draw in any old View rather than using a Widget, and Drawables don't seem to need Views at all; is that correct? I can have a Canvas and a Paint for a Drawable and see it on screen without a View?
I guess I'll just have to learn the intended roles of the classes. That is the nature of learning any framework and not necessarily better or worse with Android - just different.
From iOS developer POV (129 comments)
The enhancements including new/improved GUI controls and built-in animation support will make re-hosting features from iOS easier. There seems to be some confusion (possibly only in my mind) or overlap between Views, Widgets, Fragments, and Drawables as well as between Canvas and Paint. The whole framework seems disorganized or lacking consistent application of patterns, but I admit that I may just not see the forest for the trees.
Where is the ACLU now? (1 comments)
the ACLU has joined several court cases against government funding of organizations that discriminate against homosexuals and atheists, prominently including the Boy Scouts of America. They have defended Neo-Nazi organizations and the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). The ACLU also defended Lieutenant Colonel Oliver North,[60] whose conviction was tainted by coerced testimony. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Civil_Liberties_Union#Controversial_stances
I grew up hearing stories about ACLU abuse of the courts in the 70s and 80s. Now that government inflicted injustice is rampant among ordinary citizens, where is the ACLU? Where are the federal lawsuits to stop the TSA goons? Where are the calls to impeach the president for abuse of power (like the ACLU advocated for Nixon, Regan, and Bush 2)?

Haight Ashbury
At the center of Haight Ashbury is one of the most famous intersections in America. The epicenter of the counter culture movement, home to the Grateful Dead, the Haight Ashbury Free clinic, and the hippies of the 60s, today Haight Ashbury still retains a heady whiff of those free-spirited days, grounded by a new civic awareness and neighborhood pride.
Tourists still come from around the world to check out the action on Haight Street, and they find plenty of it. Trendy boutiques like Upper Playground, Buffalo Exchange and American Apparel sell the coolest looks. Independent record store Amoeba offers free in-store performances and proves there's still life in the music industry. When the hubbub of Haight Street proves too much, Golden Gate Park, with its new world-class museums, the DeYoung and the California Academy of Sciences, offer a calm oasis.
Renovation of the neighborhood Victorians continues apace. Converted to apartments in the 60s these homes are being rediscovered by families who take them on as hobby, pastime, passion, and investment. For families with young kids, the Haight Ashbury Coop Nursery School, now in its third decade, provides an inexpensive alternative to day care from its home in the Alma Street playground.

Categorizing issue
Im dealing with a little problem on the architecture of my MySQL database due to its complexity and I would appreciate any tips on the following:
Im building a database for my image bank and want to categorize the images so that they may be viewed according with a specific multiple classification. What I have now is an image that belongs to a Category A and has a sub-category A1, for example: People / Health.
But I would like to have the image to be seen on a category Concepts with a sub-category Stress or even category Health and sub-category Mental Health or all of them, according to the users choice. If the user clicks on the category Concepts he will be able to see my image IMG_5454.jpg and also he could see that same image on the Health category.
I now have an image, category and subcategory tables. What could be the best structure for use with PHP to select images that meet the multiple classification?
Thanks in advance for any help

i don't see what's so complex.
Your three tables should all have a primary key (PK)
You now create a 4° table that contains these PK's (so they are used as Foreign Keys).
Table: image_cat_subcat
imageID | catID | subcatID
1 | 1 | 2
1 | 3 | 2
3 | 1 | 5
you see? so the image with PK = 1 in the images table, is linked to the combination of categorie with PK = 1 and subcategorie with PK = 2.
but it's also linked to the combination of categorie with PK = 3 and subcategorie with PK = 2.
This new table, is caled a factstable and it only contains Foreign key valeus to your 3 existing tables (which are called dimensiontables)
if you then want to run a select to show all categories that image1 fals under, then you just run a
SELECT image_cat_subcat.catID, categories.categori_lable FROM image_cat_subcat INNER JOIN categories ON image_cat_subcat.catID = categories.catID WHERE image_cat_subcat.imageID = 1
or if you wanna get all images that are linked to categorie 1, then you run
SELECT image_cat_subcat.imageID, images.imagename FROM image_cat_subcat INNER JOIN images ON image_cat_subcat.imageID = immages.imageID WHERE image_cat_subcat.catID= 1
(well, the table and columnnames will be different of course ...)

Georgia Bulldogs
Print without images
Friday, July 12, 2013
Five-star DT close to a decision
By Radi Nabulsi
ATHENS, Ga. -- With much attention is focused on the annual Dawg Night camp that will start at 4 p.m. ET, next weekend might have some fireworks as well. Five-star defensive tackle
Lamont Gaillard
is scheduled to visit the Bulldogs on July 20, and according to his head coach, Bill Sochovka, Georgia has positioned itself well.
"I think he's got a good idea where he wants to go and he's going to make that announcement definitely before we kick off our season, so I'm assuming within a month he's going to make the commitment to the school he wants to go to," Sochovka said. "He had planned to go visit Georgia, South Carolina, and Clemson again this month with family members just to kind of see the campus and go on like a little family vacation. I say the reason why Clemson and South Carolina were one of the ones we had talked about geographic reasons, just to kind of get a perception of looking at something different than Georgia and always having a backup plan if something falls through."
The nation's No. 12 player initially wanted to visit Athens last Sunday.
Lamont Gaillard's last trip to Athens vaulted the Bulldogs to the top of his list. His next could result in a commitment.
"He was originally supposed to go this past weekend, the July 6th weekend," Sochovka said, "but that kind of got bumped, the family vacation, so I was expecting something this weekend from him in that regard."
The 6-foot-4, 300-pound rising senior has had Georgia in front since his visit in May.
"When we left Georgia that day there was a little gas station we stopped on the outskirts of town, and I think he had a good idea already where he wanted to go at that point," Sochovka said. "Not to say the other schools didn't do a good job recruiting, because they did, it's just, he went down there, there was no fanfare, it was low key, they didn't do the overwhelming, pulling out the red carpet for you, it was just us and the coaching staff. Coach [Mark] Richt for an hour and a half sat and talked to us, it was just really, really low key. Then they hooked him up with
Todd Gurley
Keith Marshall
Tramel Terry
and they sat down, we had dinner, and they were just talking real normal, and those three were just talking -- no pressure on him whatsoever. It was more about Lamont and the student-athlete than Lamont the football player."
The Georgia coaches were a hit as well.
"There may be more, but it was just a different feel," Sochovka said. "You could see the coaches know how to recruit and have recruited kids like Lamont before, and they know how to deal with head coaches. There was never a, 'I'm so and so from so and so University and you're just Bill from Fayetteville yada yada.' Real good, cordial, respectful recruiting methods all around, and I think Georgia just hit it home."
Gaillard did have some doubts about Georgia at first. When he and his teammate
Harold Landry
accompanied Sochovka on the visit, they were not sure what they would find.
"And it was funny, we were driving there and the comment was made -- because it's pretty rural -- they said, 'Coach are you sure you're going the right way? Because I don't think Georgia is in this area,' " Sochovka said. "And I said, 'Guys, I'm telling you, it's here because I've been there before.' I'm a big Penn State fan, and it reminded me a lot of State College -- it's out in the middle of nowhere. If you take Penn State out, there's no State College, if you take UGA out of Athens, there's no Athens. And we drive right in, and they're like, 'Wow.' There was the concert that weekend so they couldn't drive us up in cars to the Stadium so they had to take those guys up in golf carts because all the roads were blocked off. They saw how big the stadium was, they saw how people were flocking to go see a country music star, and I think the comment was made, 'Well this is nothing, you should see it on a game day.' So they really go to see something from that perspective."
Gaillard is not easy to impress.
"I was telling our local newspaper the other day for a kid as young as he is and being thrown all these different carrots -- with championship rings being thrown at him and bowl rings, the oohs and ahhs -- he has remained pretty level-headed and he understands the process," Sochovka said. "He asks the right questions, and I'm pretty amazed at how he deals with the whole thing."
The process might come to an end next weekend when Gaillard returns to Athens with his family.
"They're going to go down on the 20th," Sochovka said. "I said, 'Whenever you decide call me and I'll put the word out to everybody.' It's pretty much a waiting game. Once he makes that official, I'll make it official."

The Tajine
Hotel La Maison Arabe (LaMaisonArabe.com) owners José Abete and Fabrizio Ruspoli (an Italo-French aristo whose relativeswere intimates of Marcel Proust and Jane Bowles) are the kind of culturally wired couple who can steer you to the best underground boutique or art party in town. But the signature lamb and orange tajine dished up poolside in their handsome hotel's Les Trois Saveurs dining room should prove party enough.

Bee Heaven Farm / Redland Organics
Excellent Experience First Time Around
By: Courtney Romero (Apr 27, 2009)
I really enjoyed participating in this season's CSA. The fruits and vegetables were always delicious and not once did I find something in my share that was not top quality. There was always a great variety in my share and the recipes and newsletters were very helpful in learning how to prepare and identify new produce. I loved the extras box-it is a great way to allow others to enjoy what you might not and also grab an extra of something you really love. I appreciate all the effort that goes in to making the CSA possible and I look forward to participating again next year!

Vehicles powered by alternative fuels will become increasingly accessible to consumers in Arizona as the technology advances and fueling stations grow in number.
That was one of the messages to come from a conference Thursday on cleanburning fuels and alternative vehicles sponsored by Gateway Community College and a group promoting the use of alternative fuels.
Bill Sheaffer, executive director of the Clean Cities Coalition, which co-sponsored the National Alternative Fuel Odyssey event, said it's difficult for owners of vehicles that use alternative-fuel sources like compressed natural gas or hydrogen to find filling stations. He said that will change as the cars and trucks become more popular.
"The purpose of this event is to show the public what kinds of clean burning vehicles are available," Sheaffer said.
About 40 people attended the showcase at the Gateway campus at 40th and Van Buren streets in Phoenix.
The coalition, which is a public and private partnership chartered by the U.S. Department of Energy, promotes the use of natural gas, ethanol, propane, hydrogen and biodiesel to fuel vehicles. It also promotes the use of hybrid vehicles among other alternatives to the exclusive use of gasoline.
Some of the vehicles displayed at the event that are available to the public were hybrid vehicles like Ford's Escape sports utility vehicle, and the new 2007 Honda Civic, which uses compressed natural gas to operate.
Sheaffer, who was the keynote speaker at the conference, said he hopes to start sponsoring the event annually.
"We're talking about our health, the economy and our dependance on foreign oil," Sheaffer said. "We have an opportunity to reach people."
The college was one of several locations throughout the country hosting similar events.
Attendees were able to mill around the campus and see the various forms of vehicles that don't rely exclusively on the use of gasoline.
Brian Cassidy, a 48-yearold Gilbert resident, said he has owned some form of alternative-fuel vehicle since 2001. Cassidy said he currently owns a Honda Civic GX, which is powered by compressed natural gas, as well as a pickup truck that he runs on biodiesel fuel.
He said he has several reason for buying alternativefuel vehicles, ranging from a belief that he shouldn't buy foreign oil to a desire to contribute to a cleaner environment.
"I'm just a typical guy," he said. "I'm not an engineer, I'm not a scientist. But this stuff interests me and its important to me. I would consider it immoral not to buy this stuff, since it is available and it's affordable."
Tempe resident Kirsten Joan, 37, expressed similar sentiments. Joan said she's plans to buy an alternativefuel vehicle and attended the conference to learn about the various options available to the public.
"I'm leaning more toward the electrical vehicles," she said.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Our mayor seems to be playing a shell game
BATTER UP... Last week, like a bullpen trying to get that final out, a scrum of reporters took turns trying to throw one fastball of a question after another at Mayor Sam Katz.
Hoping, as they did, to find out more about the mayor's purchase of an Arizona house from the sister-in-law of his Winnipeg Goldeyes partner, city real estate developer Sandy Shindleman.
Related Items
Finally, tired of the mayor simply fouling off pitches, one wily reporter tried something off-speed.
He threw the mayor a curve.
The reporter referred to another controversial story from last month about another Arizona purchase. The one where the mayor paid $1 to his close pal and top Winnipeg civil servant, Phil Sheegl, for the purchase of a shell company known as Duddy Enterprises LLC. The reporter, in the process of framing his breaking pitch of a question, alluded to something the mayor said when the shell-company story broke. After acknowledging that, in retrospect, he should have "exercised more caution" in making the March 2012 deal, Katz said this: "If I had to do this again, I would have paid the $3,000, $4,000, found a lawyer, and boom, done that."
The implication the reporter and others drew was the true value of the shell company was between $3,000 and $4,000. Which, the reporter suggested in pitching the question to Katz last week, would have made it reportable to the city clerk under conflict-of-interest legislation. Either because it could be seen as a gift with a true value of more than $500. Or, if it wasn't a gift, its true value would qualify it to be disclosed under city council's code of ethics, which states: "Members must disclose any business or interest which may give rise to a reasonable apprehension of conflict."
I'd say a deal between the top political person in the city and his acknowledged buddy, the city's top bureaucrat, qualifies. And Katz's regret about not exercising more caution suggests that.
But then, in the course of denying there was any conflict whatsoever, the mayor smacked the reporter's curve ball right back at him.
"I'll tell you where you're wrong," Katz said.
He meant "wrong" about the value of the shell corporation he bought for a buck.
"If you talk to a lawyer," the mayor said, "you will find out that it has no value."
With all due respect, Your Worship, I'll tell you where you're wrong.
Shell companies do have value, even if you only calculate what it initially takes to set them up.
And, curiously enough, the one the mayor bought might well be valued in that $3,000 to $4,000 ballpark.
Or even more.
At least that's what I take after reading an award-winning Reuters investigative series from late last year entitled Shell Game. It delved into the uses of shell corporations -- both legitimate and illegitimate -- and what it called "a growing niche in the shell business" known as "shelf" companies.
They're shell companies set up and then placed on "the shelf" to "age."
"The older they are," Reuters reported, "the more expensive, like Scotch whisky."
"They're then sold later, to owners looking for a quick way to secure bank loans, bid on contracts, and project financial stability," Reuters said. "To speed up business activity, shelf corporations can often be purchased with established bank accounts, credit histories and tax returns filed with the Internal Revenue Service."
A shelf company, remember, is a shell company by another name -- a clean-slate shell company -- that has no real business history.
I went looking for some Arizona shelf companies on a website called Corporations Today Inc., that listed several "aged companies" from the state where the mayor bought his shell company from Phil Sheegl.
Among them was one called Eagle Eye Services LLC; a shelf company advertised as being incorporated four years ago. Its listed price: $2,795.
Duddy Enterprises LLC was incorporated on Nov. 27, 2002.
Ten years ago next month.
Still, according to the advice the mayor says he's been given -- and that he passed along to reporters last week -- Duddy Enterprises LLC has no value.
I beg to differ. For what it's worth.

Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom Divorce Update: Kris Jenner Says Reality Show Will Highlight Khloe's Marriage Struggles
The Khloe Kardashian Lamar Odom divorce news was one of the greatest and most shocking entertainment revelations of 2013. Despite previous rumors that Lamar is scared his name might have a bashing in the reality show his ex-wife is in, here comes the news that Kris Jenner is confirming the new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians will definitely tackle her daughter's marriage troubles.
According to Classicalite, the Kardashian matriarch's confirmation came out after news that the former power couple is now offering their house for sale. It was during one interview this year when Kris Jenner took the time to plug what KUWTP fans can expect from their brand new season offering. "She's having a hard time. She's going through a very difficult time, but she's doing her best. And I think that you'll see that on the new season," the family momager said.
Jenner also added and emphasized how strong her daughter, Khloe, has been despite all the troubles she went through. She shared to everyone how Khloe is keeping herself busy which she, as a mother, considers as good news for her daughter whom she described as someone with a tough exterior but is sensitive inside, Sportsworld News wrote.
On some moving on news, Mirror UK reports that Khloe is rumored to be seeing another athlete, Matt Kemp. The Kardashians star was allegedly spotted working out with the baseball star on Thursday.
The former home of Khloe and Lamar is already listed for a whopping amount of $5.5 million. It has a total of seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms. The entire property is measured at 8,400 square foot. This asking price will get the couple a profit of about $1.5 million.
Khloe's cited reason for her formal filing of divorce was irreconcilable differences to finally put an end to her marriage with the former NBA star. According to sources' claim, the prenuptial agreement of the couple allows Khloe to keep their marital home, her engagement ring worth $1 million and a $2 million cash out.

A great photograph on a nice sunny day during construction of a East Harlem brownstone at 2125 Lexington Avenue at 126th Street in Harlem, New York, 1913.
Similar to some of our earlier Harlem history posts of photographs along Lexington Avenue on 116th Street and others, this image was taken during the construction of the 4, 5, and 6, train subway (aka the IRT) in East Harlem. Construction of the subway in this photograph from the left show large four by eight long timbers sitting in all directions to seemingly hold up or brace the brownstones outer walls. In the center of the frame sits this old very shallow brownstone with its open wood shutters, multiple floors and a two room deep building. Front right a pile of dirt sits in front from the construction and wood benches sit above it as our eyes move up to the wooden fence that cuts off the brownstone back yard from the street.
This old brownstone may not have survived the construction of the subway like many others, since it does not exist today.

Results tagged "pensions"
By Andrew Williams
So much of the debate around green issues seems to revolve around predicting the future.
Will Arctic ice caps have melted in 50 years?
What will the Amazon rain forest look like in 2020? How will technological advances in solar, wind and tidal power affect our energy security? At the moment we're working on best guesses.
The entire country isn't opposed to the public sector strikes. Just those who haven't got jobs at all, those who haven't got any meaningful pensions, those in the private sector who face far more draconian cutbacks on their benefits, those in the small business sector who live with daily insecurity, and, of course, the army of parents valiantly attempting to arrange childcare as the schools shut.
Members of the University and College Union took strike action across the UK today to protest at changes to pensions and pay cuts.
Staff from Tower Hamlets College, Greenwich University and University of East London took to picket lines over what they believe to be unfair increases in their pension contributions and moves to raise the retirement age.
The Government is refusing to bow to pressure in bringing forward an increase in retirement age following the recession.
At the Conservative Party conference, George Osborne unveiled proposals to raise the age of state pensions for men to 66 from 2016, eight years ahead of the current Government's proposals.
RETIREMENT may be a long way from the minds of most Wharfers but HSBC have given everyone food for thought with their latest report.
The banking giant's insurance arm published their latest Future of Retirement report on Tuesday. The survey of 40,000 people across 25 countries revealed most of us expect to work for longer and are making more detailed provision for retirement, reflecting a growing realisation that we can't rely on a state pension.
Robert Lang, chief executive of HSBC Life, explained how the report's findings showed changing attitudes to the challenge of funding retirement.

In some ways, Ohio has become a poster child for the problems and an example of a state now searching for solutions. In 2005, one in every 71 households filed for bankruptcy or had their mortgages foreclosed, says Gov. Ted Strickland (D) in a phone interview. "That problem has worsened in the last few months to the point it is a crisis in Ohio…. I have been told for every vacant home in a neighborhood, property values decline by 1 percent."
Governor Strickland says part of the problem is the "relatively flat" manufacturing economy. But, he adds, the state has also suffered from "predatory lenders that have taken advantage of folks in unscrupulous ways."
Last month, Strickland formed a foreclosure task force made up of public officials, lenders, and nonprofits. "We want to look at the total picture and devise solutions for the state to minimize the pain that's being felt out there," he says.
One of the state's solutions is for the Ohio Housing Finance Agency to issue $100 million in taxable bonds. The proceeds will finance fixed-rate mortgages for people who may be on the edge of foreclosure.
On Monday, the agency began taking applications, receiving close to 300 calls on that day alone.
"There was a lot of distress in the voices," says Rita Parise, program director. "Some we may be able to help, but numerous people were well into the foreclosure process, and we will not be able to help them."
Initially, the agency is estimating the new pool of money will provide refinancing for about 1,000 mortgages. "If the demand is there, we will go back in the market again and again," says Doug Garver, the agency's executive director.
While the financing could help, some Ohio officials believe even more urgent action is needed. In fact, Monday was the deadline for Cuyahoga County (Cleveland) residents to ask for property-value readjustments. Officials are expecting 50,000 homeowners, about 10 percent of the city's residents, to ask for downward revisions of their taxes.
Cuyahoga County Treasurer Jim Rokakis says communities need to work together with the mortgage service companies to head off more foreclosures. "I don't care if you want to call it a moratorium, or a cooling-off period. But for this to be most effective, we have to find a way to get them to agree to back off on adjustable-rate mortgage interest [hikes], and back off on foreclosures."

There's another key position battle on the Kentucky football team that has gone largely overlooked — center. In Neal Brown's offense, that spot is critical and UK does not have an experienced center.
Brown and offensive line coach John Schlarman plan to give Zach West, a starting guard last year, a look at center to see if he "can get better at snapping the football." They also see if Kevin Mitchell, who started at tackle last year, can play both guard and tackle.
Brown said he was not hinting that West could be the starting center.
"You're reading way too much into it. He's definitely going to get some snaps there. Zach West is a kid who has played guard, that we played a little bit at center in the spring, not in the spring game. Zach Myers, probably had the best spring of those guys (playing center). Jon Toth is moving to that position and Max Godby was a back-up center last year who got injured during the spring. He'll probably get some reps there as well," Brown said.
"I'm intrigued to see who's probably made the most movement at that position because that's probably sliding under the radar, but that's going to be just as important

Rate Dr. Heather Day
Dr. Heather Day's Ratings
I would like to share a rather interesting exchange,I was a witness to while visiting the Ocean medical centre today.
A doctor who I later found out was a Dr. Day was having what I would call a heated exchange with a lady I later was able to talk to.
This was happening in the waiting area affront of all people waiting there for a treatment.
Appararently, the lady-patient was being asked to pay 75 dollars for a missed appointment.
The lady-patient was refusing to pay, claiming that she was unable to contact the receptionist and that there was no one at the office and even the answering machine was not deployed.
She also stated that she was a month away and she was hoping that at least a remainder of her appointement would be left on her phone like she recieves from other medical offices.
Since I can not verify either side of the story I can not say who is right or wrong.
But what I heard and thought to be rather odd was a statement made by Dr.Day, quote:" If you can afford to travel you should be able to pay".
I assume that would be the reference to the missed appointement fee.
When I later approached the lady-patient and asked about her experience, she told me that she was shocked and left speachless by Dr. Day's behaviour.
The lady-patient is 75 years old,retired, living on a small pension and is Dr. Day's patient for more than 20 years without missing one appointment.
I do not wish to take sides but feel that there should be a better way to communicate then what I was a witness to.
PS. Dr Day also stated that: quote" If you don't like it you should go somewhere else".

After being kept waiting for over an hour an a half for an appointment that took 7 months to get , this doctor does not even have the courtesy to say sorry. When I told her I was upset for being kept waiting so long she replied - " too bad - get out if you don't like it" I would not go back to her if she was the last doctor on earth.
Was this rating useful? 1 [[ userState['ratings'][2506295].votes_count ]]
She was late for appointments.... I was a new patient, and she only allowed 10 mins. per appointment... not helpful at all. She told me on the first visit that she only specialized in the area that I needed assistance, and then at the second appointment she told me she did not specialize in that area at all??? Very confusing!! I certainly would not have gone back for the second app't if I had realized that she was not interested in helping me. Would not recommend at all.

She is the best Doctor that I have had and I will continue travelling from out of town to see her twice/year. I have never seen a Doctor so interested in her patients, as to correct mistakes of a GP and watch over you through consultation with your other specialists. Most note worthy, she is very pleasant and a pragmatist as well! She is a winner, don't miss out.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1277625].votes_count ]]
Due to my mothers illness i have dealt with many doctors and specialists. However, she by far exceeds any doctor I have ever met. She is very compassionate, knowledgeable and caring. She really takes her time and helps the patient understand the issue and tries to find a reasonable solution. I am surprised there are not alot of doctors like her.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][1277624].votes_count ]]
Dr Day is booked for months in advance but rather than make me wait that long for follow up appointments, she has, multiple times, scheduled me into her lunch hour. She is personable and helpful. We tried several medications until we found the right combination, with manageable side-effects. She remembers personal details and does not make you feel like you are just another body passing through. She helped me get on disability benefits and get the government to pay for my treatment. She tells you what is going on with your body, but encourages you to learn how to live and function with your illness. The front desk staff is another story. They are rude on the phone, they lose messages, they are abrupt and impolite. The waiting area is usually very busy and loud, and even though there are at least 3 secretaries up front, there is line ups to check in. There is also office staff in the back, they are much calmer and more helpful.

This is an easy and delicious one pot meal. The number of servings seems rather weird, but that is how many 2 cup servings we got. I see that the sodium value is pretty high. There is no way to note it when entering nutrition information, but you rinse the chickpeas which lowers the sodium considerably. Of course you can also reduce the amount of salt you add to lower it even further! If you have left over butternut squash that is already cooked it cuts down the recipe time to less than 30 minutes, just skip the first step and proceed with recipe. Enjoy!

Time flies in the tech world. The Moto 360 isn't the latest hotness anymore, but I still love the one strapped to my wrist. In my mind, it remains the most visually stunning smartwatch you can buy. And when I say you, I'm referring to folks in Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, and the United Kingdom—all places where the watch is now listed as available from the Play Store.
For folks who like to stay on the cutting edge of technology (which I assume includes you, since you're reading an Android blog), thermostats and smoke alarms don't get much cooler than the Nest and Nest Protect. They're Internet-connected, which is great because reasons. They can talk to your mobile device, which is all any gadget really needs to do to be considered smart (since many of us do less talking on our smartphones these days, does that make us dumber?).
Update 2: Google has updated its official list of countries with access to paid Newsstand content, and it looks like Spain is the only other country to get in today. Enjoy your magazines and newspapers, amigos - better luck next time for everyone else.
Update: At least one of our Russian readers says that paid Newsstand content is available in Russia as well. Nasdarovje, Pavel Azroyan! If anyone else sees paid content in a previously unsupported country, check out the Contact page and drop us a line.
My, my, but it is difficult to keep a device properly under wraps these days. The latest leak for LG's 2014 flagship G3 comes courtesy of the company's own Dutch website, spotted by Netherlands enthusiast site Portable Gear. LG took the promotional page down almost immediately, but not before keen eyes managed to record pretty much everything about the upcoming phone. Spoiler alert: reading the following won't leave you many surprises for tomorrow's event in London.
In an ideal world, a phone's SIM card would work with whichever carrier you choose. No having to sell a Verizon HTC One to switch to an identical one on Sprint. A device with a carrier-free SIM card could go wherever its owner wanted it to. The only problem is, such a product is currently illegal across most of the planet. Only in the Netherlands is the story starting to change.
Customers of T-Mobile in the Netherlands should be able to start charging Google Play purchases to their phone bills, in addition to more traditional payment methods. Google has updated its support pages to reflect the change.
Competing mobile carrier Hi in the Netherlands got carrier billing last year. At the time, Dutch news sources were reporting that T-Mobile would be getting carrier billing soon, as it already had deals in place in many other EU nations.
Remember the wafer-thin new Galaxy Tab 10.1 we saw at CTIA? Yeah, well, you might have to wait a while longer before you can get your paws on one of those - but if you live in Portugal and you're willing to sacrifice some of that slimness, you'll be able to obtain an ever-so-slightly thicker model called the Galaxy Tab 10.1v starting tomorrow. The tablet will be sold through Vodafone for the price of €589.90 and will be:
- 10.9mm thick
- Running on stock Honeycomb
- Powered by a dual-core 1 GHz Tegra 2 CPU
- Including an HPSA+ radio
- Featuring an 8MP rear camera
Vodafone will also be selling the 10.1v in the Netherlands, though they have not yet announced its price there; the only detail we have so far is that it'll launch in "week 17," which should mean sometime before May 1st.
It's not the PlayStation-related Android announcement we were hoping Sony would make, but the Official PlayStation app is still (sort of) intriguing in and of itself. Version 1.0 of the app will be coming soon to both our beloved Android Market and the iOS App Store, though we here in the States will be left out of the fun initially. For those lucky enough to live in the UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, or the Netherlands, (the areas where the app will be available upon launch) here's what you have to look forward to:
