karta & vägbeskrivning
By Car:
To get to us you have to take the exit called Firenze Sud and then go straight on to the end of the highway. Then turn to the left and follow the signs for the historic centre (centro) or the avenue (Viali di Circonvallazione) and go straight on.
You will arrive at Viali di Circonvallazione and than you can use the directions on the map. The same directions apply if you come from Firenze Nord or from the Superstrada Firenze - Pisa - Livorno .
From the Station:
You can reach our hotel in 10 minutes walking as it is really close to Santa Maria Novella.
From the Airport:
From the airport you have two choices. We suggest you take a taxi (especially if you have a lot of luggage) because is fast comfortable and cheap (costs about � 20,00).
However, if you don�t have a lot of luggage, you can come by bus. You will find it just in front of the airport exit. The ticket costs � 3,10 and you can buy it on the bus from the bus driver. There is a bus every 30 minutes from 5.30 a.m. to 11.30 p.m

State's stand-your-ground law intact
The Senate voted 19-5 to table House Bill 135, which would have repealed the provision that extends the Castle Doctrine allowing people to defend themselves with deadly force without retreating while in their home on their property to any place a person has a right to be.
But Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, noted the state has always had very liberal gun policies and noted the Castle Doctrine has served New Hampshire citizens well for many years.
The stand-your-ground law garnered national attention when unarmed Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was shot and killed by George Zimmerman, who claimed self-defense and said he was being beaten by Martin.
When the law was written two years ago it was narrowly drawn and did not change the four conditions under which a person is legally justified in using deadly force.
Before 2011 under the old law, a person's first obligation was to retreat from danger if he or she could do so safely, before responding with deadly force. Under stand-your-ground, there is no obligation to retreat safely before using deadly force if a person feels threatened.
House Minority Leader Gene Chandler, R-Bartlett, praised the Senate for killing the bill.

Boat Winterizing 101
Preventing & Eliminating Odor
One of the main tasks to achieve when putting a boat into seasonal storage is preventing the formation of foul odors. Star brite has the two most effective tools that have become the marine industry standards for winterization: MDG Mold/Mildew Odor Control Systems and No Damp dehumidifiers.
MDG Mold/Mildew Odor Elimination Systems utilize Star brite's patented, EPA-registered Clo2 generator system. MDG products produce a vapor that completely permeates the treated area to eliminate existing odor and prevent the formation of new foul smells. Unlike traditional air fresheners that can only mask bad smells, MDG actually eliminates the odor at the source. The Slow Release system maintains air quality for the winter season, while the Fast Release system works overnight. For best results, deploy a Fast Release system in the boat when it has been shrink-wrapped to eliminate any existing odor, and at the same time also deploy the Slow Release system to prevent the formation of odor during long-term layup. Each MDG bag treats an area of up to 1,000 c.f. (use one for every 10' of LOA).
Clo2 is a broad-spectrum disinfectant, sanitizer, virucide, fungicide, algaecide, slimicide and deodorizer. It has proven effective in the elimination of bacteria that cause odor, ranging from spoiled food to cigar smoke to smells caused by animals. Manufactured at Star brite's Montgomery, Alabama facility, MDG systems generate Clo2 in the form of a deep-penetrating vapor that treats all areas of the boat's interior, reaching behind furniture and fixtures and into all hard-to-reach sections to eliminate and prevent foul odors. The Fast Release MDG will deodorize boats overnight, completely removing musty, moldy, mildew odor, leftover food smells, cigarette odor, pet smells and all other unpleasant odors. Another major advantage of Clo2 technology is that it does not leave behind a harmful residue on the surfaces treated. Unlike other air-care products that are only capable of masking odors with a perfume, MDG systems actually remove the offensive smells, leaving only clean air behind, making them the best choice for protecting stored boats, RVs or other enclosed areas.
Dry the Air
The industry standard for chemical dehumidifiers, Star brite's No Damp products actively attract and collect excess airborne moisture in order to help prevent the formation of foul odor, mildew and damage caused by excessive moisture in an enclosed environment such as a stored boat. Unlike most dehumidifiers whose active ingredients are in the form of cheap "flakes," No Damp uses Marine Grade pellets which are significantly more effective at attracting moisture. The No Damp system consists of a container that attracts moisture into the pellets, collecting it in a reservoir for easy disposal in the spring. For applications where the boat may be moved or where the chance of spills must be completely eliminated, the No Damp Hanging Bag is the best solution, owing to the integrated, no-spill reservoir and built-in hook that allows it to be used anywhere on the boat.

DURANGO - The death of a 23-year-old Durango man Feb. 2 in an avalanche near Silverton drives home how deceptively treacherous snow conditions can bury skiers, hikers or snowboarders in an instant.
The tragedy was on the minds of 40 Colorado Department of Transportation employees Feb. 7 as they simulated buried-skier rescues at the summit of 11,018-foot Red Mountain Pass north of Silverton.
Exercises focused on locating, under snow, a beacon that is carried by safety-minded mountain users. They also searched a snow field with 9-foot probe poles.
On average, six people are killed in backcountry avalanches in Colorado every winter. Nationally, during the last 10 winters, an average of 28 people died each year in avalanches.
Heavy snowfall that quickly puts weight on the existing base creates dangerous conditions in the San Juan Mountains, said Ethan Greene, director of the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. High wind that piles a lot of snow on any given slope also creates a hazard, he said.
Avalanches kill fewer people on Colorado highways, but they're not unknown.
As a guard against tragedy, CDOT maintenance workers responsible for clearing highways and disarming potential slides take a class on avalanches in Silverton every year.
Enrolled in a two-day advanced class this year were CDOT engineers, information technology employees and surveyors.
"Now, if they run into a situation, they know they have the skills," said Ann Mellick, one of the instructors from the Colorado Avalanche Information Center who teach the classes. "Their caution level will increase, too."
The avalanche center, a state agency, provides information about avalanches in the backcountry for the public online and by telephone, and alerts CDOT to avalanche threats to highways.
The rest of this year's curriculum looked at weather conditions, reading the terrain, evolution of a snowpack, snow stability testing, handling explosives, personal safety and creating an avalanche forecast for a highway.
New snow, severe change in temperature and high wind increase the risk of avalanches.
Six of 16 people killed by avalanches on Colorado highways were on Red Mountain Pass. Three of them were CDOT snowplow drivers. The fatalities occurred before 1992, when CDOT and the avalanche center began collaborating.
Monitoring snow accumulation, its water content, wind and temperature help officials determine what avalanche paths are likely to run and threaten highways, said Kyle Lester, maintenance superintendent for CDOT District 3.
Silverton Mountain Ski Area has its own avalanche forecasters and ski patrol, said Aaron Brill, who developed the 1,800-acre resort north of Silverton.
"We share information about potential hazards," Brill said. "All our ski runs are avalanche paths, so we're particularly alert."
Many mountain passes in Southwest Colorado contain numerous avalanche corridors, but Red Mountain Pass holds the national distinction of having the most avalanche paths with the possibility of hitting a highway.
CDOT keeps seven passes, all more than 11,000 feet elevation, open in the winter. Other passes are not kept open.
Movement in an active avalanche corridor indicates that lesser slides are liable to run. CDOT "shoots" the path with explosives to bring down snow.
"We like to say 'mitigate' an avalanche," Mellick said. "We really can't control them."
CDOT dispatches three-member crews to trigger slides with explosives. The team can use five-pound charges set by hand; a truck-mounted "avalauncher" that uses pneumatic pressure to fire 2.2-pound rounds; a 105 Howitzer leased from the Army that can fire 40-pound missiles up to seven miles; a helicopter that drops 30- to 50-pound bombs. CDOT doesn't own the helicopter.
Once snow is on the highway, workers move in with snow blowers, bulldozers, graders and loaders. Snow blowers can move 3,500 tons of snow per hour if it's fluffy stuff. If snow is wet or dirty - filled with rocks and trees - heavy equipment does the job.
Paul Wilson, a highway maintenance supervisor, is working on 29 years with CDOT, virtually all the time in Silverton. He has 18 years in avalanche work.
Wilson has an avalauncher on his truck to fire, with compressed-nitrogen, the torpedo-shaped missiles with fins.
"We try to hit rock ledges because the concussion loosens more snow than if the round lands in the snow itself," Wilson said. "We calculate elevation, angles and nitrogen charge."
Two types of avalanche are common. A slab avalanche occurs when stronger snow overlies weaker snow, and a loose-snow avalanche happens when surface snow has little strength.
Human-triggered slab avalanches typically are two feet deep, are about half the size of a football field and can reach 20 mph in a matter of seconds.
Loose-snow avalanches typically occur in the spring when surface snow warms and loses strength. They usually start beneath a cliff or a tree when a blob of snow falls, knocking more loose.

My name is Ken and I'm a geek. Like most geeks I like to stay up to date with the latest technologies, and normally try to find some excuse to play with them. As a dotCloud engineer I take advantage of our once a month hackdays to do just this.
One of the technologies I have been hearing a lot about lately is a new programming language called Go.
On the Go website it says "Go is an open source programming environment that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software." At first pass that sounds like a lot of programming languages, so what makes it better than the rest, and why is this so special?
To answer those questions, I'm going to steal some sections from the Go FAQ.
Go is a concurrent, garbage-collected language with fast compilation. It was started at Google and was released to the public on November 10, 2009.
Features of Go
- It is possible to compile a large Go program in a few seconds on a single computer.
- Go provides a model for software construction that makes dependency analysis easy and avoids much of the overhead of C-style include files and libraries.
- Go's type system has no hierarchy, so no time is spent defining the relationships between types. Also, although Go has static types the language attempts to make types feel lighter weight than in typical OO languages.
- Go is fully garbage-collected and provides fundamental support for concurrent execution and communication.
By its design, Go proposes an approach for the construction of system software on multicore machines.
Typical Go App
If you have never seen a Go program before, here is the typical Hello World application written in Go.
Looking at the code it is pretty straightforward. If it wasn't for the curly brackets it almost looks like Python.
If you want to learn more about Go, I recommend their excellent tutorial http://tour.golang.org. I also did a quick search on amazon and it looks like there are already a number of Go books. So pick one up today, and start learning.
Learning Go on dotCloud
We are starting to use Go on a few internal projects at dotCloud. I like what I see so far, but before I get too ahead of myself, I still have a lot to learn. I personally find the best way to learn is to have a small, real world, non-critical project that you can use as your guinea pig.
Reading books and going through tutorials is a good place to start, but it's a lot like high school physics, when you ignore friction, wind resistance and gravity. Once you start doing real world problems which include those variables, things never go smooth the first time.
That is why it is always best to get your hands dirty on a real project as soon as possible. dotCloud's free sandbox apps are perfect for this.
I'm not sure about you, but a lot of the projects that I work on lately are web-based. I was sad to find out that there were not many options for hosting Go applications. It seems you could run your own server (VPS, etc) or you could deploy to Google App Engine.
One of the many advantages of working for dotCloud is having access to this awesome deployment platform, where I'm like a kid in a candy shop. I can take these different services, write some code and easily deploy them to dotCloud, all without breaking a sweat.
Last Friday we had a hackday at dotCloud, where everyone takes the day off from their normal projects and we can work on anything we want. I took this time, to work on a Go on dotCloud custom service. It is still very early, but it allows you deploy your Go applications to dotCloud as easily as all of our other services.
Try it out on dotCloud
I have put the code up on github so that everyone can use it, and submit pull requests. It is still very early beta, but I welcome everyone to try it out, and please let me know what you think, good or bad. If you have a suggestion on how to make it better, feel free to submit pull requests and issues.
Using it is pretty straightforward. Assuming you already have a FREE dotCloud account, you just need to follow these steps.
- Create a new application
$ dotcloud create -f sandbox mygoapp
- Fork my github repo, and then clone it.
$ git clone git://github.com/kencochrane/golang-on-dotcloud.git
- Add your code in the src directory.
- Edit the dotcloud.yml
- Change the build_package config variable, to the name of your GO package
- Change the processes so that you can run the correct processes
- Add or remove ports depending on your application needs.
- Push the application
$ dotcloud push mygoapp .
That should be about it. Best of all you can do all of this for FREE since dotCloud doesn't charge for services in the Sandbox. So deploy as many times as you like, and let me know if you have any questions or problems.
Coming from a Python background, I am most interested in the fact that Go is a fast compiled language with concurrency built-in. I don't think it will replace Python as my go-to language, but when I need something small and fast with concurrency, it is nice to know there is another option at my disposal.
I'm looking for new ideas for my next hackday, if you have any suggestions, please let me know.

Kemp's walk-off homer caps Dodgers' rally
Slugger's 10th-inning shot comes after LA rallies in ninth to tie
LOS ANGELES -- For all the hype and buzz surrounding a Bryce Harper debut and a Stephen Strasburg start, only one player in the National League these days hears the "MVP ... MVP" serenade.
That would be Matt Kemp, who was at it again Saturday night, the game's hottest star stealing the headlines from Washington's pair of future stars. Kemp's walk-off home run leading off the bottom of the 10th inning gave the Dodgers a 4-3 win over the Nationals, securing a series win over the surprise leaders of the National League East, and helping L.A. reclaim the league's best record at 15-6.
"I've played with a lot of great players, but this guy is as good as it gets," said Jerry Hairston Jr., who survived a 97-mph Strasburg fastball off his left hand (X-rays were negative).
Kemp had to be special to upstage the 19-year-old Harper -- who doubled and had a tiebreaking sacrifice fly in his heavily promoted promotion -- and Strasburg, who hooked up in a duel with Chad Billingsley. Each allowed one run over seven innings for no-decisions, Billingsley rebounding from a horrible start in Houston last weekend.
"It was an exciting game from the first pitch to the last," said Billingsley.
It was Kemp's 11th home run of the season, setting a Dodgers record for the month of April. It was his seventh walk-off hit, five of them homers.
"I hate to say he could be scary. He is scary. He's fun to watch," said manager Don Mattingly.
The homer was launched 423 feet to center field on a 1-2 slider from Tom Gorzelanny, and before Kemp had rounded first, the crowd of 54,242 was in full-throated hero-worship mode.
"That goes back to last year," said Kemp. "It gives me goosebumps. It's definitely emotional, and it makes me play better. Keep doing that. It's always good to see Dodger Stadium filled like that. That's the Dodger Stadium I remember two or three years ago. Every Friday and Saturday, 56,000 fans. It helps a lot to have them on your side."
After the customary scrum at home plate that gave reliever Jamey Wright his first Dodgers win, Kemp made his way to the dugout seats to acknowledge his mother.
"She's been here when I got 30/30, when I tried for 40/40 in Arizona -- she's my hero, and I look up to her," said Kemp. "She's my little good-luck charm when she's there to see me. I'm very blessed. It's fun for my whole family to experience this ride we're on. I have to keep her here. Might have to buy a condo, or she can stay with me as long as she stays in L.A."
Kemp got the chance to win it only through an improbable rally in the bottom of the ninth, after the Nationals scored runs off Dodgers relievers Scott Elbert and Javy Guerra, who was making a shaky first appearance since taking a line drive off the jaw Wednesday night, in the top of the frame.
Adam LaRoche, who homered in the seventh inning off Billingsley, singled off Elbert leading off the top of the ninth, and was erased at second base on an attempted sacrifice bunt by Rick Ankiel. Danny Espinosa singled off Guerra to send LaRoche to third, and he scored on Harper's sacrifice fly to left. Wilson Ramos then singled home Espinosa.
The Dodgers answered with two runs in the bottom of the ninth off Henry Rodriguez to send the game into extra innings. They opened the ninth with three consecutive hits -- singles by Mark Ellis and James Loney and an RBI ground-rule double by Juan Uribe. The tying run scored on a wild pitch to Dee Gordon, plating Uribe, one of three wild pitches by Rodriguez.
The Dodgers tied the game in the bottom of the seventh. Jerry Hairston was hit on the left hand. Loney followed with a chopper that was booted by second baseman Espinosa. Uribe, failing to bunt, struck out.
A.J. Ellis (2-for-4) then singled to left. Harper made a perfect throw to catcher Ramos ahead of the sliding Hairston, who slapped the ball out of Ramos' glove with his left hand, Hairston scrambling back to the plate on all fours to score the tying run. Nats manager Davey Johnson argued plate umpire Mark Carlson's call, to no avail.
"I slide like that all the time," said Hairston. "It's an aggressive slide, and it so happens I hit his glove. It happens."
Harper finished the night 1-for-3 with a double and RBI.
"I wish we would have gotten the W, of course." Harper said. "We played a great team today. Billingsley threw a great game. We fought until the end. That's not the way you want to start off your career. I just wish we got a W."

Raw rice pudding
Prep Time
5 min -
Total Time
3 hours 5 min -
Shelf Life
3 days in fridge -
5/5 (from 6 ratings)5 -
4 servings
- 1 cup cashews
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1/4 cup chia seeds (reserve)
- 1/4 cup raisins (reserve)
- 1/16 teaspoon pure almond extract (optional)
Recipe Directions
- 1. Put all ingredients (except the chia seeds and the raisins) in a high-speed blender and blend until smooth.
- 2. Place chia seeds and raisins in a large bowl. Pour the blended mixture on top of the chia seeds and rasins, mixing slowly and thoroughly.
- 3. Cover raw rice pudding mixture and refrigerate for at least one hour. The purpose of refrigerating and letting the mixture sit for at least an hour is to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid. (Chia seeds are similar to tapioca. They increase in size!) Ideally, let this recipe sit in fridge for 3 hours. Overnight is even better!
- 4. Stir thoroughly before serving.
The Rawtarian's Thoughts
By The RawtarianOh dear, another raw rice pudding recipe. I am starting to get a reputation as the type of girl who only eats chia pudding, lol.
Well, since I've discovered this raw rice pudding, the fact is true. I don't even need to leave the house as long as I have a batch of this old-fashioned rice pudding on hand!
This recipe really does taste like the traditional rice pudding that you may have had as a child growing up, complete with the plump raisins.
Let me know how this raw rice pudding recipe compares with what you're used to!

I love your app. I try to eat a low-fat raw food diet, but your shopping list has 17 cups of nuts/seeds per week along with coconut oil and avocados. 10 cups of cashews per week can't be healthy for anyone. Please kindly consider creating a week plan for people on a low-fat raw food diet. Also, it would be great to have a daily menu with a shopping list or an option to create our own menus based on your recipes with a shopping list. Thank you :) Happy Holidays!
The fats that are in these foods are fats that are good for you. Infact some of them can and will help promote weight loss as long as you are eating them balanced. Some people cannot and do not need as much fat containing items. However, so it is up to them to figure out the proper amounts based on their metabolism and energy levels, dieticians and often your GP can help you figure out the right plan for your body type. eating raw food in general is eating real food so weight loss and inflammation loss is almost a gaurantee as long as you are not polluting your body with gross food. Also, the extensive research done on coconut oil is nothing short of amazing, it is nothing like any other oil out there it is among and in my opinion the best from keeping infection out and healing skin issues to healing you from the inside out to being used in dental hygene showing that it has cleaned up issues. I would kindly suggest you research that before you condemn it! Its amazing and it will not clog arteries it is an oil in a class of its own.! :) happy eating!
Yum!! That was delicious but there was no way it was going to last for longer than a couple of hours in my fridge...lol
And I just read that it serves 4....ooops..no wonder I feel very full!!
All I can say is YUM! I made this several days ago, it is amazing!
how many servings in this recipe? I see a serving is 7 oz. Do you think grated broccoli would substitute for the cashews, or what about almonds, walnuts? Cashews are an avoid for "O" blood type. thanks!
No macadamia either, could do almonds or walnuts blanched, do you think either or both of these would work?

Women were pissed/jealous that men are considered a pimp, a player, and "the man" when he sleeps with a lot of women and get a lot of pussy. So women created this phrase out of anger. What women don't understand is that why this double-standard tips in our favor (men), is because men have to always do all the approaching and it takes more skill/talent for a man to get pussy, than it does for a woman to get dick. That's why we get props for getting pussy, and women get ridiculed for opening her legs 7 days a week. HAHA!

bobby, cliff, and boyd were such redneck white trash man sluts that to have sex with them and not catch something, you'd need industrial strength condoms and extra strength lysol w/bleach.

In Academy City, a technologically advanced Academic city located at western Tokyo which studies scientifically advanced superhuman students with powers, but is also set in a world where magic is real.

Why Did Some Banks Perform Better during the Credit Crisis? A Cross-Country Study of the Impact of Governance and RegulationAndrea BeltrattiBocconi University - Department of Finance Rene M. StulzOhio State University (OSU) - Department of Finance; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) July 13, 2009 Charles A Dice Center Working Paper No. 2009-12 Fisher College of Business Working Paper No. 2009-03-012 Abstract: Though overall bank performance from July 2007 to December 2008 was the worst since at least the Great Depression, there is significant variation in the cross-section of stock returns of large banks across the world during that period. We use this variation to evaluate the importance of factors that have been discussed as having contributed to the poor performance of banks during the credit crisis. More specifically, we investigate whether bank performance is related to bank-level governance, country-level governance, country-level regulation, and bank balance sheet and profitability characteristics before the crisis. Banks that the market favored in 2006 had especially poor returns during the crisis. Using conventional indicators of good governance, banks with more shareholder-friendly boards performed worse during the crisis. Banks in countries with stricter capital requirement regulations and with more independent supervisors performed better. Though banks in countries with more powerful supervisors had worse stock returns, we provide some evidence that this may be because these supervisors required banks to raise more capital during the crisis and that doing so was costly for shareholders. Large banks with more Tier 1 capital and more deposit financing at the end of 2006 had significantly higher returns during the crisis. After accounting for country fixed effects, banks with more loans and more liquid assets performed better during the month following the Lehman bankruptcy,and so did banks from countries with stronger capital supervision and more restrictions on bank activities.

Why use LaTeX?
- It makes reuse of figures, tables and equations across papers, presentations and posters very easy. For some, this is the main motivation of using LaTeX. .eps files scale well so you can just include the same figure in papers and posters and you don't have to (usually) worry about bizarre scaling effects. Equations are even nicer.
- LaTeX is free. So if you can't afford Microsoft Office software, this is a good option.
- LaTeX works with BibTeX to make doing references very easy. Again, BibTeX is free unlike Endnote which is a common software package for use with Microsoft Office.
- There's lots of online information about how to do stuff in LaTeX.
There is a large learning curve associated with using LaTeX. So those new to LaTeX would benefit from either giving themselves extra time to prepare their first LaTeX document or having a friend who knows LaTeX and who doesn't mind answering a lot of questions.
Why not use LaTeX
- There is a large learning curve associated with the language.
- It is not WYSIWYG.
- Collaboration and editing tools among multiple users is lacking.
- Often in writing scientific literature, whether an internal report or thesis proposal to publishing a paper, you will be working with people that don't use LaTex. This is the primary disadvantage.
LaTeX software packages
TeXShop is a nice frontend for using LaTeX on MacOSX. Read through the site carefully for instructions on how to install both TeXShop and TeXLive-teTeX (the backend).
BibDesk is a nice frontend for managing your library of references (ie your BibTeX library). It even autofiles your library of PDFs which makes maintaining and searching your collection of papers much easier than before.
Useful links
- A LaTeX template for writing thesis proposals
- Some journals accept papers in LaTeX format. Check ahead of time.
Here is a link with a source file for making posters in LaTeX. The cls file can be modified to alter the style of the poster.
Here is a link with general information about LaTeX presentations.
PPower4 is software that permits you to add powerpoint-like slide transitions to LaTeX presentations. It generally requires that you use Adobe Acrobat reader to view your presentation with effects.

Number of people currently using tobacco by sex and age
Number of people who are obese by sex and age
Number of people doing regularly physical activities by sex and age
Condom use at last high-risk sex (i.e. sex with a non-marital, non-cohabiting partner) by sex and age
Proportion of population using solid fuels for cooking on open fire or stove with no chimney or hood
Unintentional injuries by sex, age and type of injury
Occupational injuries by sex, age and type of injury
Proportion of adults who are obese by sex
Proportion of young current drinkers (15-24) by sex
Smoking prevalence among persons aged 15 and over, by sex
Proportion of young population (15-24) currently using tobacco by sex
Proportion of young population (15-24) doing regularly physical activities by sex
Household surveys focused on health issues may collect data on drinking, tobacco use, anthropometric measures, engagement in physical activity, and daily consumption of fruits or vegetables. Household surveys such as DHS, MICS usually collect data on condom use at last high-risk sex. They also collect data on type of fuels used for cooking along with information on ventilation factors such as type of stove and place of cooking.
School-based surveys such as Global School-based student Health Survey (GSHS) collect data on health related issues among students 13-15 years old. Among the issues covered are: alcohol use, dietary behaviour, drug use, hygiene, physical activity, sexual behaviour, tobacco use, violence and unintentional injuries.
Population and housing censuses often collect data on fuels used for cooking.
Administrative sources may provide data on unintentional injuries, including occupational injuries and road traffic accidents. Civil registration system with complete coverage may provide data on causes of death, including on deaths due to unintentional injuries.
The type or frequency of alcohol consumption (e.g., binge drinking, hard liquor) may vary by sex and surveys may not adequately distinguish the relevant risk behaviours.

The average wholesale heating oil price on February 8, 2010, had fallen nearly five cents from last week's report to $1.94 per gallon (see the table at the end of this report). The graph below shows the spread in Nebraska prices from month to month and from this year compared to previous years.
The other states surveyed in the Midwest Region had comparable wholesale prices ranging from $1.89 to $2.03 per gallon resulting in a regional average of $1.98. States near in proximity to Nebraska, such as Missouri and Minnesota, had prices of $1.95 and $1.94, respectively.
For the week ending February 5, the Midwest distillate inventory level was at the upper boundary of the normal range for this time of year at 1.4 million barrels.
Notes: The annual report for the 2008-2009 winter season is available. An archive houses annual reports from previous years.
Heating Season
The Oil Price Information Service collects wholesale heating oil prices each week for Nebraska and twelve (12) other states in the Midwest Region during the heating season (October to March). The Energy Information Administration, the independent statistical and analytical agency within the U.S. Department of Energy, uses the prices collected by the Oil Price Information Service to calculate a state average price, a regional average price, and a national average price which can be seen in the report Wholesale Heating Oil Prices by Region and State.
Off Season
Prices are not collected during the off season (April through September).
Midwest Region
For statistical purposes, the Energy Information Administration defines the Midwest region to include the states of Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, and Wisconsin.

kajeet Supports Debit Cards & Gift Cards
March 18, 2010
by Daniel Neal
Did you know that as of June 30, 2009, more people in the U.S. had Visa® Debit Cards (352 million) than Visa® Credit Cards (309 million)? (Source: Visa.com) And a recent survey cited by CBS said that 28 percent of consumers planned to increase their use of debit cards while decreasing the amount of purchases they make with their credit cards.
Gift cards have also become extremely popular – US consumers purchased 87 Billion dollars of gift cards last year! However, according to the Tower Group, many consumers are giving more general purpose prepaid gift (debit) cards rather than store-specific gift cards because of their greater utility – they can be used for the basics – gas & phone – as well as in a variety of stores.
Many kajeet customers use their credit cards to pay for their (contract-free!) kajeet plans – but are surprised to learn that debit cards, prepaid cards, and gift cards can also be used. We wanted to highlight this as debit cards can be popular with teens (many of whom pay for their own phone service) – and with those that don't like to be tied down to things like contracts.
As always, if you have any questions at all, please call our Care Team at 1-866.4kajeet (1-866-452-5338), 9 am – 6 pm ET Mon.-Fri., and 9 am – 3 pm ET on Saturday.
Part of the Solution: Set Ground Rules on Cell Phone Use
February 24, 2010
by Daniel Neal
The Kaiser Family Foundation recently released a study that reviewed kid's media use – excluding cell phone texting and talking – and found that kids 8-18 are using media an average of 7 hours and 38 minutes a day. The study found that texting adds another 1 hour and 35 minutes per day. The study also found that high media use is correlated with lower personal satisfaction and lower grades. Parents are rightly concerned.
A major challenge in the world of cell phones has been bearing down on us for several years. And now it's here. Extremely powerful mobile devices – small computers, really – are now in the hands of our children for large parts of the day, creating all kinds of questions, problems and conflicts. With two 'mobile kids' of my own, I live with the challenge of making sure my children make the best possible use of their powerful mobile devices – and avoid the pitfalls.
As a parent, I do not believe that 'every child has to have a cell phone.' Though I know that virtually every child wants one, the decision is a child's parents to make. Still, the Kaiser Family Foundation study finds that 66% of 8 – 18 year olds now have cell phones. And the number is steadily growing. It's our view that, within 5 years, nearly every child above the age of 10 (and probably younger), will carry around what we'd today call a Smartphone.
Parents are getting their children cell phones for safety, to improve family logistics, to help their kids connect with friends, and to keep the family in closer touch. (My kids and I love texting each other when I'm traveling for work.) All good reasons. And soon, cell phones will be integrated into more school activities and processes.
Yet, despite the benefits, parents want to find ways to make sure cell phone use doesn't distract their kids from school, homework, and sleep. And they want to shield their children from dangers such as sexting; texting while driving; being harassed, tracked or worse by strangers; and bullying, much of which is now conducted online or via cell phone. (I was just at my daughter's middle school orientation last week, and this was the most talked-about topic.)
At kajeet, seeing that cell phones were in the cards for most kids, we set out to be part of the solution. From our earliest beginnings, we've thought about our service as a kind of "kitchen table," a place where parents and their children can negotiate the right boundaries and limits, which, as we know, change with time and circumstances. By building kajeet with a powerful suite of monitoring, alert, control and budgeting features, we've put the power of managing the challenges, risks and potential dangers directly in the hands of families.
Now, without even signing up to a contract (parents insisted on that point), families can manage their kids' service via the easy-to-use kajeet parental controls. Just by logging in to our Web site, parents can ensure that the talk they had with their child is put into practice: who they can text and call, when, what features of their phone they can use, who pays for what. Plus, parents can monitor the phone's activity, track their child's phone, and even get alerts telling them where the phone is at set times. (For example, I get e-mail alerts each morning that tell me whether my kids have arrived at school, and, in the afternoon, telling me whether or not they've made it home. That works for me.)
But the actual conversation between parent and child is really the most important thing. Our technology supports and implements what comes from that conversation. So, we asked ourselves how we might contribute more to those conversations, beyond simply providing affordable and easy-to-use technology to manage and monitor your child's cell phone.
After talking with many kajeet families, we have come up with a set of guidelines that families can review before giving their child a cell phone in order to avoid the common pitfalls many families encounter:
- Establish a contract covering the rules of use before giving your child his or her first cell phone. Cover "who, where, and how much" cell phone use is appropriate. (Here's a sample contract you can tailor to meet your own family's needs.)
- Agree to put the cell phone in a central recharging area at night, in a powered down condition. (And, to be green, unplug the charger when it's not in use.
- Discuss and reach agreement on appropriate cell phone etiquette (including use of phones during meals, at restaurants, and in public areas)
- Discuss the appropriate use of picture messaging and the hazards of inappropriate use. (Yes, we're talking about sexting here.)
- Get an iron-clad commitment that the phone will not be used when driving. Discuss what your child should do if in a car with a driver who is texting.
- Review the rules of cell phones at school, and reach agreement that all school rules regarding cell phone use will be followed.
- Establish a budget and identify who will pay for use of the cell phone.
- Review the consequences if the agreed-upon rules of use are broken.
Many kajeet parents find it useful to periodically review the detailed account activity with their child to make sure that the phone is being used appropriately.
This may seem like good ol' common sense. Good. But we parents are busy people, and it's important to find the small amount of time it takes to set the ground rules for kids' use of cell phones. That's just as important as experiencing the excitement of giving the phone as a gift, or sending your child off to school or camp.
At kajeet, we've committed ourselves to helping families have better conversations, better tools to control that small computer their kids are toting, and a simple dashboard that allows for effective monitoring of their child's communications.
But regardless of who you've chosen to be your child's cell phone provider, outlining the rules and establishing a contract for use of this mobile computer can help families ensure the phone is a tool that keeps their child safe and teaches them responsibility.
