I've recently spoken with several people about the security of connected vehicles and I learned, among other things, that providing 100 percent protection for cars 100 percent of the time is most likely not possible. Cars are increasingly connected in a variety of ways, and connected cars will eventually be hacked. The threat is not dire at the moment but it could become so, and now is when auto industry stakeholders should be – and are – working to prevent problems in the future.
One option for blocking attacks is an embedded firewall. "People don't connect their home or work PCs to the Internet without having a firewall to control what packets pass through," says Alan Grau, president and CEO of Icon Labs (iconlabs.com) and the same should be true of the growing number of embedded systems inside cars.
"We want the embedded community to understand the need for multiple levels of security," Grau says, "but the firewall is one piece that is all too often ignored." Icon offers a firewall built to work with real time operating systems.
Grau says embedded devices in general have been so specialized that it didn't matter much what packets came through, but embedded devices have become more general purpose, and are being targeted."
Icon provides static, or rules-based filtering and enforcement, which Grau says will block a huge percentage of attacks, including hacks of remote car door lock/unlock systems. Icon also provides stateful packet inspection (SPI), using the state of connection as part of the filtering decision, and it does threshold-based filtering, detecting and blocking floods of packets from an IP address to stop a device from being overwhelmed.
Icon Labs provides security software for Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Cisco, Intel, and the US Army. It partners with Freescale, Green Hills, and Wind River. Grau says Icon is now attracting attention from automotive customers.

The Strand :: Living Large, Living Well
The Gem and The Jewel are exciting proof that there's more than meets the eye at The Pearl. Even The Strand, categorized as a "superior" room, is an indoor/outdoor multi-dimensional delight. Yes, it's large, but beyond that, it adapts to YOU and not vice-versa. It empowers, but never overpowers. It almost intuitively eases you into your desired mission. If you traveled to San Diego for work, there's room to spread out and get down to business. Or if you arrived here for leisure, there's room to spread out and get down—however you define that. Sounds great, right? A room with room to roam—inside and out, mentally and physically. Clearly, The Strand has everything to do with freedom and nothing to do with being "stranded" or otherwise restricted. You're welcome to appreciate the irony, whether you're at The Pearl for an in-town getaway or arrive from faraway to hideaway in plain sight. You deserve to reserve this special slice of freedom.

The Grade 1 HOLLYWOOD STARLET STAKES is worth a whopping $500k. For two-year-old fillies, it is a rare chance to secure a top level victory. Contested at 1 1/16 miles, the Hollywood Park race will is the ninth of 10 races on the card and will go forward at 4:35 PST.
PURE FUN broke her maiden at Kentucky Downs in her fourth start on September 15. She followed that up by finishing seventh in the Grade 3 Jessamine Stakes at Keeeneland and then second in a non-winners of two races lifetime event at the same track. She broke through with a huge win at nearly 15-1 odds when last seen as she crushed optional claiming foes by 9 1/4 lengths at Churchill Downs. Switching surfaces to dirt that day likely made the difference. Now, the McPeek trained daughter of Pure Prize will try synthetic for the first time. Garrett Gomez is listed to ride.
Peter Miller trains MISS EMPIRE who will be returning to a synthetic track for the first time since finishing third in the Grade 1 Chandelier Stakes. Since then she has won a minor stakes at Golden Gate and faded to be ninth in the Grade 3 Miesque Stakes. The daughter of Empire Maker will be reunited with Kevin Krigger who hasn't ridden her since they finished fourth together in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante Stakes.
SCARLET STRIKE was left in the wake of Executiveprivilege in the Chandelier Stakes before finishing third as the 4/5 favorite in the Sharp Cat Stakes when last seen. The daughter of Smart Strike races for 26% winning meet trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. Look for her to come from the back of the pack under Joe Talamo.
BLONDE FOG erupted for a 12 ½ length win in her initial race on October 28. It looks like the sky is the limit for the Bob Baffert pupil, but it's tough to say how good she really is after just a single race. Martin Garcia retains the mount on the daughter of Divine Park.
Julien Leparoux is carving out a nice living while riding 19% winners at his new Southern California base. He will ride MIDNIGHT BALLET for Thomas Procter in this race. She was squeezed at the start in her initial try with Leparoux, but won the Sharp Cat Stakes anyway at odds of 10-1. That race was at today's track and distance.
EXECUTIVEPRIVILEGE gets to play the role of big bad wolf. The daughter of First Samurai was an undefeated dual Grade 1 winner before losing to Beholder in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. After that hiccup, Bob Baffert expects that today will be busy as usual for the classy filly. The only difference in this race is that Mike Smith will ride for the first time as Rafael Bejarano has apparently exited the good graces of this trainer. This bay filly can strike from anywhere and is the most dangerous horse in the race.
RENEE'S TITAN performed strongly to finish second in the Sharp Cat Stakes when last seen. The Doug O'Neill pupil has taken on top competition before and failed, but appears to be a better horse now than she was then. Tyler Baze, the hungriest jockey in the colony, will ride for the second time.
Rafael Bejarano lost the mount on the favorite, but catches a ride on RHODIUM. The daughter of Flashy Bull broke her maiden on the lead at Santa Anita before fading to be fourth in the Sharp Cat Stakes. Peter Miller is the trainer.
MIDNIGHT BALLET has the most upside and possesses the best chance to beat the favorite. She has won over the track and at the distance and will race third off the shelf. The pace projects to be fast and she likes to come running. I'm going to call for her to mow them down in the lane.
Overseas players should consider Paddy Power racing betting. They offer some of the best deals in the game and have great offers for King George Chase betting.

By JUDY SHERARD
Jessica Calhoun's new job as Hays USD 489 nutrition services director is a perfect fit.
"This is the kind of job that I've always wanted since I started my college career," Calhoun said. "I'm lucky to get to be here."
Calhoun, a registered dietician, was appointed in June to replace Shiela Brening, who retired after 35 years with the school district.
A native of Derby, Calhoun earned her degree from Kansas State University.
She first worked in a hospital on "the therapeutic side of dietetics. That wasn't a good fit. I was doing that in Kansas City, and I didn't really like the big city life."
A food service management position at Chartwells on the Fort Hays State University campus brought her to Hays.
Working in food service management and the Hays community were a better fit, but the school district job is the one she "really wanted."
At USD 489, Calhoun manages approximately 40 employees in the food services department, 38 in the kitchens, one driver who makes deliveries and an administrative assistant.
The district has three base kitchens -- Hays High School, Hays Middle School and Roosevelt Elementary School -- where the entrees and breads are prepared.
Because the district provides meals for Munjor day care and the Head Start programs, she is responsible for menu planning for infants to adults.
Brening has developed a financially successful program that has good participation in the district, so Calhoun doesn't plan to make any immediate changes in the department except those required by regulations.
The department's budget and bidding for supplies and food also falls under Calhoun's job description.
"I have the nutrition specialty and also the management aspect, so it's the perfect job for me. I really like Hays, and I plan on being here for a long time," she said.
Calhoun doesn't have much spare time, but she likes trying new foods and new recipes.
She's engaged to Brad Younker, and the couple plans to spend fall weekends in Manhattan.
"We have season tickets to football games," Calhoun said. "I grew up as a fan. That's when I see my family in the fall at the football games."

An excellent 18 hole precision course with Discatcher baskets and dirt tee pads. I would say the Regular Tees (Short) provide only a handful of distance challenges for advanced players but more than makes up for it with technical requirements of tight openings and alleys in the trees on a majority of the holes. From the Alternate Tees, the distances are significantly beefed up and proves to be a tough challenge. Most find the course memorable and well maintained thanks to the dedicated regular ...

Great course. A good variety of tight holes (I can't wait to see what the foliage does to the course) and a couple long lines. I really enjoyed the elevation changes and sloped greens. As a primarily forehand player, this course forced me to switch it up and throw a couple backhand drives, and I like that. The same could be said the other way around. It's diverse. Had a pair of good tour guides too.

Traffic, political fights in Peachtree City in 2002 By JOHN MUNFORD Motorists who travel the often-clogged Ga. Highway 54 West in Peachtree City got fantastic news earlier this year when it was announced that the Georgia Department of Transportation was "fast-tracking" the widening of the thoroughfare to four lanes. The project could begin as early as late summer, according to DOT officials. Right-of-way acquisition is 30 percent complete on the Peachtree City side and 70 percent complete on the Coweta side of the project. The traffic jams on Hwy. 54 West have become routine both in the morning and afternoon, with noticeable slowdowns for motorists travelling east into Peachtree City. While the two-and-a-half year estimated construction time will almost certainly slow things down further, DOT officials have pledged to do their best to keep traffic moving, especially during peak hours. Other top stories in Peachtree City this year include: Politics in Peachtree City took a rancorous turn coinciding with the entry of new Peachtree City Mayor Steve Brown. The political rhetoric was at least partly to blame in the September resignation of long-time city manager Jim Basinger. After council declined to renew his contract, Basinger chose to resign. Some council members "erroneously felt that I was still aligned with the previous administration," Basinger said at the time. "Nothing could be further from the truth." Just days before Basinger's resignation, former mayor Bob Lenox filed papers in Magistrate Court claiming Brown should be arrested for theft of city services for having a city employee drive one of his daughters to golf camp while he attended a meeting for the city. Judge Joe Tinsley denied Lenox's request for an arrest warrant against Brown. Before Lenox complained, Brown publicly cited himself for the slip-up, noting that the employee volunteered to take his daughter to golf camp. Brown also admitted violating the ethics ordinance. After the arrest hearing concluded, Brown repaid the city the $8.94 tab for the estimated half-hour the employee spent on transporting his daughter to the Braelinn golf club. Basinger was not the only long-time high-ranking city employee to resign this year. Director of Developmental Services Jim Williams resigned his post in June so he could become city manager in Fairburn. Williams said with Peachtree City being close to its build-out stage, he wanted the challenge of managing growth in Fairburn, which is becoming a popular destination for development. Nor was Brown the only Peachtree City elected official to be scrutinized by Lenox. The former mayor filed an ethics complaint against councilman Steve Rapson in May, alleging that Rapson should have abstained from council votes regarding the city's development authority since his wife, Kristi, is suing them in federal court, alleging she was unfairly paid compared to then-tennis center director Virgil Christian. The city's ethics board voted 3-2 that Rapson violated the city's ethics ordinance, but board members declined to issue a formal reprimand and "admonished" him instead. Rapson contended that he felt compelled to vote on the matter, which was whether or not the council should hire an independent attorney to investigate the hotel-motel tax agreements Lenox signed with the development and airport authorities last year. Lenox contended everything was done above board, but the independent attorney gave council an opinion that the contracts could be declared illegal in court. Brown's ongoing dispute with the city's Development Authority over its share of the city's hotel-motel tax has also been a significant story in 2002. Brown originally sought to cut the authority's share of the city's hotel-motel tax, which it uses to subsidize operation of the city's tennis center and amphitheater. The authority and city council approved similar agreements in November to resolve the matter, pending a few details, but since then Brown called for all the authority members to resign, citing financial mismanagement, particularly with several hundred thousand dollars of cost overruns at the tennis center expansion. Councilmen Dan Tennant and Murray Weed, who negotiated the deal with several authority members, were caught off guard by the mayor's request. Tennant indicated he thought the mayor's request was out of line. Since then, authority members reported the issue is still moving towards a resolution, but Brown is insistent on transferring the tennis center and amphitheater operations to a new sports and entertainment authority. The city's airport authority, which depends on the hotel-motel tax revenues to fund capital improvement projects agreed in November to reduce its income from the hotel-motel tax. In July, the City Council cut $1.3 million from its budget, with most of the cuts coming from its public improvement plan. Finance Director Paul Salvatore warned council that it would face a similar fate next year since the increased expenses that hiked the budget aren't going away. The lion's share of the $1.375 million budget hike was attributed to the increase of claims on the city's self insurance fund, which many pointed out that the council has no control over. The cuts included the expansion of the Gathering Place ($104,000), paving a parking lot at the Meade softball fields ($250,000) and building restrooms and a concession area at the Kedron multi-purpose rink ($150,000). Also, council scaled down several projects including its street resurfacing program, cart path resurfacing program and improvements to the intersection of Huddleston Road and Dividend Drive. Despite the drastic budget cuts, council agreed to increase property taxes through a .385 millage rate increase. The hike will cost an additional $31 a year on a home with a fair market value of $200,000, according to Salvatore. The 9 percent increase in the millage rate was also rationalized to help avoid a more dramatic increase next year. Without a millage increase this year, staff projected a 35 percent increase would be necessary next year to balance the budget. The .385 mill increase will raise approximately $520,000 for the city. Another of Brown's early initiatives, a moratorium on all development, was shot down by a court in February. The moratorium was sought to give several committees more time to strengthen several development ordinance, but since the moratorium was overruled only one of those ordinances has been considered by council: for stormwater management. In September, council approved lowering the golf cart driving age to 15, which allowed 15-year-olds with valid driver's permits to drive unchaperoned for the first time. Previously, the city required such drivers to be at least 16 years old. Council also voted to allow the 15-year-olds to drive with up to three immediate family members" so they can transport their siblings when necessary. The 15-year-olds can also have just one passenger who is at least 15 years old, according to the new ordinance. Lowering the cart driving age helped spark an onslaught of McIntosh students driving their carts to school which created a parking problem on Prime Point since carts weren't allowed on campus. But school officials created a separate golf cart parking lot on campus to solve the problem. Peachtree City's industrial base took a hit in January when TDK Components USA announced plans to cut its work force by almost one-third as part of a restructuring plan that will eliminate an entire production line and streamline another. The company cut approximately 100 jobs as it eliminated production of inductors. That will leave around 230 jobs at the plant for producing chip capacitors. The moves were in response to a "significant drop-off in customer demand brought about by the current economic slowdown," according to TCU officials. The reduction comes on the heels of TCU dropping its production of VHS tapes and computer CDs last year. A $1.05 million federal grant to help expand Falcon Field was announced in April by U.S. Representative Mac Collins. The funds were used to purchase over 23 acres for the Peachtree City Airport Authority. The tract, which was sold by Peachtree City Holdings, Inc., a subsidiary of Pathway Communities, is adjacent to the airport and will allow for future growth of hangar space. The authority wants to attract more aircraft service operations to Falcon Field as well as more jet traffic. The authority will need to add infrastructure to the new property such as taxiways, hangar sites, access roads, and parking lots for automobiles and aircraft. Another contentious issue for council this year was the traffic calming plan for Golf View Drive, a collector road. after hearing complaints from Golf View residents, council installed several four-way stops and two pairs of speed humps to slow down traffic. Motorists who used the thoroughfare waged a honking campaign to protest, sounding off their horns as they passed along on Golf View. Council later relented and removed most of the stop signs and part of the speed hump design. Sadly, Peachtree City lost two community volunteers this year with the passing of long-time Development Authority member Tom Farr and Planning Commissioner Rich Schumacher. Both men were lauded for the time and effort they gave toward making Peachtree City a better place. In September, the six new covered courts at Peachtree City's tennis center were used to keep a women's professional tournament on track. Heavy rains and high winds that weekend also put a damper on the Great Georgia Airshow at Falcon Field as aircraft couldn't fly their full patterns due to visibility problems. Also, a brief microburst brought strong winds that forced the evacuation of the public at Falcon Field. This fall, Peachtree City got its first college presence as Clayton State College and University began offering continuing education courses at the newly completed tennis center office building. One of the facility's classrooms is wired with high speed Internet connections.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
It has been suggested that this article be merged into Phase converter. (Discuss) Proposed since May 2012. |
A rotary phase converter, abbreviated RPC, is an electrical machine that produces three-phase electric power from single-phase electric power. This allows three phase loads to run using generator or utility-supplied single-phase electric power.
At the beginning of the 20th century there were two main principles of electric railway traction current systems:
All of them needed a separated supply system or converters to the standard 50Hz electric network. Kálmán Kandó recognized that the electric traction system must be supplied by single phase 50Hz power from the standard electric network, and it must be converted in the locomotive to 3 phase power for traction motors. He created an electric machine called phase converter. It was a single phase synchronous motor and a three phase synchronous generator with common stator and rotor. It had two independent windings. The winding placed closer to the rotor is a three phase (or variable phase) synchronous generator, the other is a winding of a single phase synchronous motor. The winding of the motor takes the power from the overhead line and the generator provides the power for the three (or more) phase traction motors.
A rotary phase converter (RPC) may be built as a motor-generator set. These completely isolate the load from the single-phase supply and produce balanced three-phase output. However, due to weight, cost, and efficiency concerns, most RPCs are not built this way.
Instead, they are built out of a three-phase induction motor or generator, called an idler, on which two of the terminals (the idler inputs) are powered from the single phase line. The rotating flux in the motor produces a voltage on the third terminal. A voltage is induced in the third terminal that is shifted by 120° from the voltage between the first two terminals. In a three-winding motor, two of the windings are acting as a motor, and the third winding is acting as a generator.
A common measure of the quality of the power produced by an RPC or any phase converter is the voltage balance, which may be measured while the RPC is driving a balanced load such as a three-phase motor. Other quality measures include the harmonic content of the power produced and the power factor of the RPC motor combination as seen by the utility. Selection of the best phase converter for any application depends on the sensitivity of the load to these factors. Three-phase induction motors are very sensitive to voltage imbalances.
The quality of three-phase power generated by such a phase converter depends upon a number of factors including:
RPC manufacturers use a variety of techniques to deal with these problems. Some of the techniques include,
The main principles of RPC operation are as follows: Three-phase induction motors have three terminals called "legs", usually numbered (arbitrarily) L1, L2, and L3. A three-phase induction motor can be run at two-thirds of its rated horsepower on single-phase power applied to any pair of legs, once spun up by some means. A three-phase induction motor that is spinning under single-phase power applied to legs L1 and L2, generates an electric potential (and can deliver power through) leg L3, although without some form of current injection, special windings in the idler, or other means the voltage will sag when a load is applied. Power factor correction is a very important consideration when building or choosing an RPC. This is desirable because an RPC that has power factor correction will consume less current from the single-phase service supplying power to the phase converter and its loads. Balanced voltage between the three legs of power is important for operational life of the equipment receiving that power. Unbalanced three-phase power can damage the equipment that it is meant to operate.
RPCs may be used anywhere three-phase devices need to be used, but only single phase power is available. Three-phase motors cannot start on single phase power without a device to generate three-phase power. Since prices (and quality) of used three-phase motors are usually more favorable than those of their single-phase counterparts, demand exists for phase converters. This is also true because single-phase electric motors generally are not available in sizes over 15 hp (11 kW) due to their complexity, starting requirements and relative high expense and low efficiency compared to three-phase motors. In fact, single-phase motors larger than 5 hp (3.7 kW), though available, are rarely seen in use for these reasons. RPCs are sold by various vendors, but often also are home made.
Rotary phase converters are used in the opposite direction (three-phase to single-phase) for electric railways. In Europe, electricity is normally generated as three-phase AC at 50 Hertz. Five European countries, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Sweden have standardised on single-phase AC at 15 kV 16⅔ Hz for railway electrification. Phase converters are, therefore, used to change both the phase and the frequency.
Alternatives exist to rotary phase converters for operation of three-phase equipment on a single-phase power supply.

1:50 pm MT: From ABC News' Rick Klein, author of The Note: So all the buzz today was supposed to be about two big Wednesday speeches — Bill Clinton's and Joe Biden.
Why, then, is everyone in Denver talking about stagecraft?
It's simple: Reporters got their first glimpse of the stage where Barack Obama will deliver his speech tomorrow night at Invesco Field. Reuters described the set as similar to a "Greek temple."
Thus a legend — not the good kind — was born.
Said one Democrat: "This is a disaster of mythical proportions." Said another: "It's not enough that he wants to be president — he wants to be Zeus." Said the first: "Will he send down thunderbolts from the mountain?"
Those are the Democrats — though assuredly not Obama partisans. Cue the Republicans: The RNC blasted around an e-mail referring to the "Temple of Obama."
"Tomorrow you're going to see Obama come down from Olympus to be among us mere mortals," Michael Steele, the former lieutenant governor of Maryland, told reporters in Denver.
Senior Obama advisers dismiss the comparisons. There will be columns, they say, but it won't look like a Greek temple — or even the White House portico.
"It looks like any state capitol," one adviser tells ABC News. "It's a bunch of columns."
For the candidate who brought you his very own faux-presidential seal, this is not a good perception. Obama aides insist that the set is staying, and that it won't look as bad as it sounds right now; the real backdrop, they say, will be his supporters.
It raises anew the larger issue: After Berlin, and the "Celebrity" ads, does Obama want to accept the nomination in front of a screaming crowd of 75,000 people?
Obama folks, who see the evening as an organizing tool, say yes. There's a real enthusiasm gap here that the Obama folks want to exploit
But I wonder: If this was being put together post-"Celebrity" — had it not been in the works for months — would the campaign have had such a problem with accepting the nomination inside the Pepsi Center — just like people normally do?

Essential Skills for Creating A Dynamite Relationship with Your Boss
At some point in our lives most of us will be working for someone else, so it is important to fully understand what makes our boss tick and how best to interact and influence him or her. How much attention have you given to your boss's personality style? How does she function? What seems to agitate or please her? If we have a difficult boss we focus on what drives us crazy. If we have a great boss we tend to take things for granted. Recognizing the factors which contribute to creating the most successful, powerful working relationship is a skill to be utilized throughout one's career.
One of the ways to do this is by identifying your boss's personality type. Let's look at a few examples. Jo's boss is extroverted, high energy, with lots of ideas which he makes happen. He tends to move quickly and rarely acknowledges the good work his staff does. He assumes they know he appreciates and values them. Bill's boss is hard working and organized but tends to micromanage her staff. Bill worries that his boss does not trust him to do his job and therefore would not recommend him for a promotion. These are two different kinds of bosses , with different personality types . What does this mean for their colleagues and staff? Read the rest of this entry »

In humans, some evidence suggests that there are two different types of spindles during sleep, which differ by their scalp topography and possibly some aspects of their regulation. To test for the existence of two different spindle types, we characterized the activity associated with slow (11-13 Hz) and fast (13-15 Hz) spindles, identified as discrete events during non-rapid eye movement sleep, in non-sleep-deprived human volunteers, using simultaneous electroencephalography and functional MRI. An activation pattern common to both spindle types involved the thalami, paralimbic areas (anterior cingulate and insular cortices), and superior temporal gyri. No thalamic difference was detected in the direct comparison between slow and fast spindles although some thalamic areas were preferentially activated in relation to either spindle type. Beyond the common activation pattern, the increases in cortical activity differed significantly between the two spindle types. Slow spindles were associated with increased activity in the superior frontal gyrus. In contrast, fast spindles recruited a set of cortical regions involved in sensorimotor processing, as well as the mesial frontal cortex and hippocampus. The recruitment of partially segregated cortical networks for slow and fast spindles further supports the existence of two spindle types during human non-rapid eye movement sleep, with potentially different functional significance.

The dish on Long Island's restaurant and food scene.
Edgar "Javier" Viera, who cooked for 16 years at Maureen & Daughters' Kitchen in Smithtown, is doing a brisk business at his new Smithtown breakfast and lunch spot, Javier's Cafe. Open since June, the place — much like Maureen's — serves only breakfast and lunch. On a recent weekday morning, I encountered a 10-minute wait for a table. An omelet filled with lump crabmeat, tomato, fresh dill...

No objections presented in Hermitage-Sandyville
© Wesley Harris photo
Residents of the east side of Hermitage whose properties are adjacent to the land purchased by Cooke Aquaculture will have council's ear if the company applies for a development permit.
In 2011 the town of Hermitage-Sandyville hired Arvo McMillan, a municipal planner, to prepare a zoning plan for the town and to write development regulations according to the Urban and Rural Planning Act 2000. Also in 2011 townspeople were invited to a presentation by Mr. McMillan and to give their input at that time.
On February 6, 2012, the town announced a public hearing to hear and consider objections to and questions about the plan and the development regulations. A requirement advertised was that anyone wishing to present an objection had to submit a written statement of the objection at least two days before the scheduled hearing.
However, there were no written statements or questions so the hearing was cancelled. The council will formally adopt the plan in its next meeting.
The key elements of the zoning are residential (areas designated for new housing development) and town ( most of the present town, a mix of businesses, homes, and other properties). An industrial area is zoned to the north of the highway coming into Hermitage, and the ponds and bog area are labeled as environmentally protected.
Earlier some concerns had been expressed by the residents of the east side who live in proximity to the huge area of land purchased by Cooke Aquaculture. Under the new regulations, however, the town cannot issue a development permit until many criteria have been assessed, criteria including servicing (water and sewer), environmental impact, access from existing roads, and adjacency to homes where noise, smell, and other inconveniences would have to be considered.
Specifically, the regulations read, "Before approving any non-residential development near existing or proposed residential development or residential zones, the town must be satisfied that the proposed non-residential development (a) will not give rise to excessive noise or other forms of pollution; (b) will not generate vehicle traffic which is above the level acceptable to adjacent residential amenities; (c) will not cause an acceptable nuisance or hazard to adjacent residential uses, and (d) in general, can be considered acceptable to the amenity of residential uses."
Meanwhile, Cooke Aquaculture has said only that the purchase of the land on the east side is to give them a "footprint" in Hermitage, an area where in the future they may consider a maintenance shop or a storage facility.

Hostility to GM putting EU in 'global slow lane' - report
THE growing influence of green lobbyists and anti-capitalists on European policymaking is condemning the EU the 'global slow lane' when it comes to biotechnology, an MP has warned.
George Freeman, chairman of the All Party Group on Science and Technology in Agriculture, said 'growing hostility' to technologies like GM is already forcing some of the biggest biotechnology companies to abandon Europe as a market.
The UK and the rest of the EU are in danger of missing out on the 'major opportunity' presented by the revolution in the field of genomics to support farmers in boosting food production while also creating 'huge new inward investment and export opportunities', according to the Norfolk MP.
In a 'Fresh Start Project' report on the 'EU Impact on Life Sciences', Mr Freeman and think tank Open Europe's Pawel Swidlicki call for a rethink in how biotech and other strands of Life Sciences are regulated bin the EU and say 'serious consideration' should given to repatriating this responsibility to the UK.
The reports says: "Growing hostility of the EU to biotech, reflected in the increasing tide of anti-biotech legislation, is having a damaging effect on the EU Bioscience Economy, and risks condemning the EU – and by extension the UK – to the global slow lane in biotechnology."
German-based BASF and US biotech giant Monsanto have already announced their withdrawal from Europe in agricultural research and development and other companies like the UK's Syngenta, which employs thousands and has a turnover of billions, will follow suit unless things change. This would have 'dire consequences' for the UK and European Life Science sector," Mr Freeman's report said.
The report, which covered biotechnology in the medical and agricultural sectors, identified the 'growing influence in European policymaking of Green lobbyists and political parties with an agenda that is anti-corporate and anti-capitalist, and particularly hostile to biotech' as one of the underlying problems.
In contrast it noted the 'Insufficient influence or effective representation' of the UK pioneers in these emerging fields. It also highlighted 'inconsistent and differential implementation EU legislation' across different member states.
It said repatriating the regulation of agricultural and food research to member states would' allow countries that support the appliance of science and innovation, like the UK, to exist happily alongside, but not be undermined by, those like France and Germany which are increasingly hostile to it'.
Last week Mr Freeman outlined his vision agricultural technology in Europe at the Oxford Farming Conference, where, earlier, Defra Secretary Owen Paterson warned Europe risks becoming a 'museum of world farming' if it continues to 'close its doors on GM crops'.
Julian Little, chair of the Agricultural Biotechnology Council, said: "Political interference in science-based regulation at an EU-level is having a direct and negative impact on investment in UK agricultural R&D."
"If no action is taken, EU farmers will be stuck with museum agriculture and we will become an increasing burden on global food production as our global competitors surge ahead."
He said an estimated 17.3 million farmers were now growing 170.3 million hectares of GM crops globally. An estimated 3 trillion meals containing GM ingredients have been eaten around the world over the last 13 years 'without a single substantiated case of ill-health', Mr Little added.
But Tom MacMillan, the Soil Association director of innovation, said: "Europe's caution on GM has served Britain's farmers better than some like to admit.
"Reports show US farmers are now dropping behind their EU counterparts on yield, despite all the song and dance, and they're having to worry about superweeds.
"The real challenge, where the UK, Europe and the US all need to do better, is to back hands-on innovation that works on-farm."
10 recommendations to to support the EU biotech industry
The report proposed a package of ten measures to address the failings in the EU's current approach to biotech regulation.
1. A clear statement of the EU's policy regarding biotechnology and the bio-economy.
2. A shift away from the increasingly widely used risk-based 'Precautionary Principle'.
3. An easier way of amending flawed EU legislation and/or ECJ rulings.
4. Ensuring more joined-up policy making at the EU level.
5. More accessible and transparent early consultation processes before legislation is drafted or proposed.
6. Better and more active UK Government and parliament engagement in the legislative process.
7. Greater freedoms for member states to determine their own policies with respect to Data Protection.
8. Greater freedoms for member states and different public healthcare systems to determine their own policies with respect to Early Access to medical innovations.
9. Reforming access to EU research grants.
10. Greater flexibility for member states to 'go it alone' in designing appropriate regulatory frameworks for GM crops.
UK life science industries
- £50 billion turnover.
- Employ 167,500 people in over 4,500 companies.
Global biotech market
In 2012, the global market value of biotech/GM crops was $14.84bn.
This represented 23 per cent of the $64.62bn global crop protection market and 35 per cent of the $34bn global commercial seed market.
Total global GM crop area increased from 1.7m ha in 1996 to 170m ha in 2012.
The US accounts for 69.5m ha, followed by Brazil (36.6m ha), Argentina (23.9m ha), Canada (11.8m ha and India (10.8m ha).
In the EU, the main GM crop is maize with a total 129,071 hectares under cultivation, of which 90 per cent is grown in Spain.
17.3 million farmers grow biotech crops in 2012, an increase of 600,000 million compared with 2011.
Of these, over 90 per cent, or over 15 million, were small resource-poor farmers in developing countries.
Readers' comments (2)
Trash propaganda.
If Monsato's products were that good they would take the basic variety before the GM mutation and compete with non GM varieties in Europe.
But they can't because the DNA line they are using is uncompetitive.
90% of this article is utter gibberish.
Given the fact peoples health that eat GM food isn't monitored NO CLAIMS can be legitimately made.
The biggest factor in UK farming DECLINE is the UK government policy over the last 2 decades.
Foot & Mouth, TB, Horse Meat, Gold Plated UK rules, Illegal Pork & Egg imports, failed CAP computer system, unclaimed EU grants, useless energy policy, anti UK farming policies, Derrogation for minimum beef in mince, 1,000s of dairy farmers left the industry, the list goes on and on and on and on.
The fact "slow lane" is linked to lack of GM acceptance is ridiculous given these two useless MPs have mooted 0% CAP for UK farmers - this will crucify UK farmers in a "Common Market".
I didn't vote for the policies being introduced nor did I vote for two little dictators to be installed.
I can't wait to vote and get rid of them.The key to anti-GM activism in Europe is `Green lobbyists'; The reason is simple. For decades North America had almost a monopoly on the export of staple food, increasingly based on GM crops (maize, soybean, canola). This dominance is now challenged, for example, Brazil for soybeans. The North American response is to export activism to protect their export trade: Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth originated in North America.

High school football player gets Houston Texans cheerleader as prom date
HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) — Many high school football players take cheerleaders to the prom.
However, this is a little different.
Mike Ramirez will have a Houston Texans cheerleader on his arm at the senior dance.
He sent a tweet to the young woman and asked if she would be his date if he got enough retweets.
It happened and quickly.
Houston Texans cheerleader, Caitlyn, said she figured he would get the 10,000 retweets. What she didn't realize was that the it would only take 24 hours.
"I got a Texans cheerleader to go to the prom with me, so hopefully I can get me a good-looking Texans colored tuxedo and bow tie," said football player, Mike Ramirez.
The prom is about two months away, so he should have enough time to get everything he needs.

You could try but this is a very PARK specific board. It is reverse camber and very soft so it is not made for cruising all over the mountain. Hence it is made to ride very loose and soft. Made more for jibbing and not so much for pow turns and hardpack.

Truth in Tooth
First-year students work on plastic teeth. Everyone else gets the real McCoy.
"We actually put extracted teeth in there," Huang said. "In the old days we had fake teeth on a bench, then we'd go into a clinic and hack up a few patients' teeth."
Dental simulations will go 3-D before long. Liquid-crystal-shutter glasses will allow students to watch and perform procedures and work on virtual teeth and patients in three dimensions, Huang said.
"Pilots make simulated flights," he said. "Why can't dentists have simulated patients?"
The goal of all this technology (like the dento-dummy above) is to give students as much practical experience as possible, as soon as possible, so they spend more time in the school's dental clinic working with patients.
"When they get out of dental school, they'll be much more of a clinician," Huang said. "They'll have spent more time doing actual procedures on real people."

Gran Reserva #5 Grandioso Reviews [view details]
Give us YOUR review!Showing 1 through 2 of 2 reviews
"The smoke of Kings!"
I smoked the Grandioso; those snobby reviewers who don t like big ring cigars are crazy. I got four hours of effortless smoke, no burn problems, and great cedar, cream, pepper, and great sweet coffee aroma. As good as the best Cubans which I ve smoked . Decadent!
Bob C. in Plymoutth February 22, 2014
"One of the best cigars I have ever smoked"
Excellent draw with lots of smoke, great taste and nose, very smooth, I made a single punch hole in each cigar and every one was as equally easy to draw. Great construction, burned perfectly, Musk, Leather, Rich, you simply have to try these.

So if you are starting Firelands in World of Warcraft, you're first boss will inevitably be Shannox. He spawns after killing a lot of trash near the entrance. He seems to do so after 20-30 mobs being killed (groups counting as a single mob).
So, he seems a little challenging at first, but this fight is basically a tank kiting exercise. Here is your very simple strategy.
DPS – don't stand in traps that are thrown in the ground (duh!). Don't stand in fire (duh!)
Main tank on Shannox. Face him away from the raid.
No tank on Rageface. Burn him down as quickly as possible. He'll just run around the group like a meth addict and do a little damage to people. Put him over immolation traps (not the crystal prism traps!) to speed this up. Boss will get a minor buff here, but that predictable damage on the main tank is easier to heal than unpredictable raid damage.
Off tank on Riplimb. Move Riplimb like 30-40 yards away from Shannox. You're job is fun and it's bugged to make it very simple. Watch your DBM timer (or not) and wait for the hurl spear ability to be like 3 seconds away. Maneuver Riplimb by a crystal trap and he'll get frozen. Immediately, run as far away from the encounter as you can. Riplimb will eventually become unfrozen. He'll chase you down (even if there is a hurled spear on the ground) to get 1 last hit on you before retrieving it. If you get the geometry, make a triangle between you and the boss and the spear. This is his longest path. It's very easy to accomplish. Done properly, the main tanks debuff stacks should never hit 4. And you're stacks will never pass 5 or 6. Hunter frost traps or any other slowing effect will, of course, make this a lot simpler.
Get Shannox to 35% or so. Burn Riplimb down – kite him over immolation traps to speed this up. Burn Shannox.
Basic. Not a lot of healing if done properly. It basically tests the ability of your two tanks to work in coordination. And of your DPS not to stand in shit- but this is the same in every fight.
The fight is conceivably done with 1 tank and a good kiter. But 2 tanks is probably optimal for most groups.

Hamakua Coast
Photograph by Perfect Days Hawaii
The beautiful Hamakua Coast on Hawaii's Big Island is home to some of the most gorgeous views on the island including gardens, waterfalls, towns, forests, and cliffs.
Formerly forest, and then sugar cane, the Hamakua coast is now farm and ranch land centered around quiet towns with deep roots.

Flixster was one of the first applications I downloaded for use on my iPhone and it remains one of my faves to this day. Recent feature improvements have made it an even better resource. I'm not a movie buff by any means, but the Flixster app embodies what most of us appreciate about having a smartphone–up to date information on the go.
With Flixster you can search and watch movie trailers from Flixster's enormous online database. You can view listings from your local or favorite theaters and from within favorites you can call the theater, locate it on a map and share the information with friends. You can also view upcoming movie and DVD releases. Last night, I looked on Flixster to learn that Milk had been released on DVD 10 days previously and subsequently pulled into the local Blockbuster on my way home to grab it.
The newest app version can integrate with your Facebook account by utilizing Facebook Connect. The idea is to create more of a social aspect to rating movies and sharing the info with friends. While you can view movie ratings from the pros at Rotten Tomatoes from within Flixster, it's often fun and helpful to see what "real people" think of a film before deciding whether or not to see it. Once you set it up, all of your Facebook friends who use Flixster are loaded into the app, along with their movie ratings; these show up as you search specific films or in your 'My Movies' section of the application. You can rate movies and create a wish list from within Flixster or FB and the information is then published within both applications.
Flixster is stable and the clips run smoothly, even over the cellular network. There's really little to criticize here. The user interface is nice, the app doesn't crash and it's free. Give Flixster Movies a try. I bet you'll like it.

Glycerol Mono Stearate (100 gm)
Manufactured By: NutraPlanet

View All 7 Reviews For Glycerol Mono Stearate Feeling pumped...10 hour later By: PatrickReview posted on: 2007-11-13 16:55:28 -0500 This product is a very nice surprise to say the least. I can't believe more people haven't tried it. I take about three grams with Dicreatine Malate with AAKG and I feel pumped for about 10 hours after using. My muscles feel a lot fuller and when combined with creatine and WMS, it makes for one hell of a pump during workout and lasting way after. The product doesn't dissolve well, so you will see the little chips floating at the top of the shaker bottle, which doesn't seem to matter because it's still very effective. I will definatly buy this again. Sickest Pumps By: RyanReview posted on: 2011-07-02 13:56:43 -0400 It doesn't mix at all or go down well but my arms felt like they were going to explode, and it lasted until I went to bed.

A piece of protein bar, yogurt, a shake or something. Then, pound mass water, dude. The more you drink the better your PUMP! The folks that do that and still didn't get results don't know how to lift. It ALWAYS cracks me up because it's obvious who can't lift when I read the reviews of a STELLAR product! Doesn't work for me. By: StevenReview posted on: 2010-01-19 23:14:11 -0500 I thought this was supposed to be powder, but it's huge chunks. It looks like they just melted fat in a pan, let it harden, then scraped it into a container. Anyway, I've used 5 grams pre-workout for 7 workouts now, and I haven't noticed any kind of extra "pump". Very disappointing. Aargh By: matthewReview posted on: 2009-02-04 01:49:49 -0500 GMS was beginning to work its magic on me and then I don't know what happened. It was like my body just rejected it.

Factors associated with success and failure in the behavioral and cognitive treatment of sexual offenders

Get AccessAbstract
A retrospective review of 4381 heterosexual and homosexual pedophiles treated in a community-based program produced preliminary evidence of factors associated with success or failure in treatment. Records of these offenders revealed a number of factors of importance in predicting treatment outcome, including victim and offender characteristics, offending behavior characteristics, and penile plethysmographic findings of deviant and normal sexual arousal. Results indicated that success in treatment was often associated with a minimum number of victims, familiarity and cohabitation with victims, an absence of force or threats employed in the crimes, admission of some responsibility for the offending incidents, and a stable history of employment and relationships with others. Plethysmograph findings confirmed the general impression that low pre-treatment deviant arousal was correlated with improvement. Surprisingly, duration and frequency of offending behaviors were not consistent predictors of treatment response. Limitations of the present study are noted and caution is advised in accepting these findings until corroborated by controlled research.

Cecilia Jiménez-Jorquera has invented an electronic wine-tasting tongue. It measures six characteristics of wine, including acidity, sugar and alcohol levels, and the variety and vintage of the grapes. Requested by "industry specialists" who need a fast way to determine the quality of wine without sending it to a lab, Jiménez-Jorquera's device works instantly, as the touch of a button.
Essentially, it's a fraud detector for use in a business where even expert humans simply aren't reliable.

Unless he's Brett Favre?
Unless he gets hopped up on steroids? The league will never punish him.
The Fall of the Patriots won't happen anytime soon, and I'll give you a few reasons why.
Ryan Tannehill, Geno Smith, and E.J. Manuel. Those are the other three quarterbacks in his division.
True but the Pats look to be all in this year. If they get a motivated Britt and he can learn to play with Brady (many a vet has struggled) that would be another great piece for them. I really thought we would have closed the gap last year and that was looking pretty good in week 15 but unfortunately for us weeks 16 and 17 happened which filled me with questions again. I went from feeling really confident about the fins to pretty much how I felt coming into 2013 after those Bills, Jets games.
Andrew Luck VS New England
0-4 with 6 TD's and 10 picks. Not sure "Suck for Luck" helps in our division. Maybe we stop the "meaningless wins" talk.
I belive Dion Jordan is gonna finish what JT tried to do.
Brady might lose something, but he's not losing the best game day coach in the entire NFL, so unfortunately I don't see any pats fall anytime soon.
Bellichek has showed over and over, he's always a step ahead of everyone else. The only thing IMO that has held him back from owning another 3-4 rings is his own arrogance. Could you imagine if they actually spent some $ in free agency? Or didn't trade down in drafts, amd drafted guys like clay Matthews when they had the chance?
It's almost shameful that they had Hernandez and gronk on rookie contracts and didn't get a ring out of that.
"If foot fetish videos of your wife surface online, and the voice of the cameraman sounds like you, just admit that it was you ... because the alternative is that someone else was filming foot fetish videos of your wife, and I'm pretty sure that's worse." - Bill Simmons's enduring lesson to Rex Ryan.
