Floform Countertops hosts educational scavenger hunt
December 3, 2012
BEAVERTON, OR — Artisan Group member Floform Countertops welcomed customers for a night of knowledge, prizes and fun at its Portland/Beaverton, OR, location. Floform Countertops has been a part of the building community in Oregon for seven years and wanted to do more to bring that community to the showroom it opened last year.
The premise of this "Passport to Knowledge" event was a scavenger hunt with an emphasis on learning. Floform invited their product vendors to come in and talk about what is new and interesting about their brands. The guests then checked off each vendor they visited on their "passport." With that passport, the guests were entered to win a stay at the Oregon Garden Resort. Because of this low-key vibe, the event was full of fun, relationship development and learning.
"We always strive to be a resource for our customers," said Sarah Mendoza, Branch Manager at Floform Countertops Oregon. "This was just another way to do just that."

The surroundings of the Chamundeshwari temple atop Chamundi Hills may soon be improved with the authorities of the Chamundi Hills Gram Panchayat, on the instructions of the district administration, removing illegal extensions of shops on the road leading to the temple here on Wednesday. Though the step was taken in view of the Dasara festivities, the authorities here maintained that they were committed towards improving the surroundings of the temple and developing the place as a major tourist and religious spot. Deputy Commissioner P. Manivannan, who is the Dasara Special Officer, told The Hindu that the move to remove illegal extensions of shops had been taken on account of the festivities and only zinc sheets that protruded from the shops had been removed. This was a temporary measure as part of the arrangements for the festivities, which begins atop the hill on Saturday.
"Moreover, we have prepared a comprehensive master plan for the development of Chamundi Hills. After the completion of the festivities, the works will be set in motion. An alternative place for hawking will be provided to licensed shop-keepers after works commence," the Deputy Commissioner said.
The gram panchayat authorities on Wednesday brought down the illegal extensions made of zinc sheets and steel pipes of a few shops. The shop-keepers were reportedly directed to clear the illegal structures on their own. But the authorities brought a machine and started removing the extensions of the shops. The petty shops opposite Dasoha Bhavan were also cleared.
On the directions of Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, the district administration has prepared a comprehensive plan to develop the pilgrimage on the lines of Tirumala-Tirupati temples. Already, work on developing the stairs to the temple has commenced. There are nearly 300 shops atop the hill on the road leading to the temple. There is a proposal to relocate the shops, barring the ones selling flowers, coconuts and other puja materials, near the exit of a bus-stand to be constructed atop the hill.

There's a site that tracks piracy stats like the neilsens, forget what it is, but easy to google. Movies and TV shows are pirated more or less in proportion to their general popularity but sci if gets hit harder, which means piracy is inhibiting sci if more than other genres.

The war on terror contributed to the lack of preparedness for Hurricane Katrina and the destruction and death still unfolding in its wake by gobbling up more than its fair share of government resources, according to a US physician. It is also to blame for thousands of preventable deaths from common illnesses every day, she asserts.
In an article published in the British Medical Journal on Friday, Erica Frank at Emory University Medical School in Atlanta, Georgia points out that the 7000 troops from Louisiana and Mississippi currently stationed in Iraq meant there were not enough on US soil to help with the rescue effort.
She also blames a diversion of funds towards the war and homeland security for the unfinished, sinking levees that broke during the hurricane, that might otherwise have done a better job at protecting New Orleans from flooding.
"Our government is spending a whole lot of time and financial resources on a war," she says. "It clearly comes at a cost to public health."
Common diseases
Although Frank admits that there is not necessarily a causal link between inflated spending on the Iraq war and bioterror defence, and a simultaneous deficit in spending on levees in Louisiana, others agree that with so much money and resources on foreign soil, there is bound to be a negative effect back home.
"It is pretty clear that if you had National Guardsmen that weren't in Iraq, there would have been more on the spot in New Orleans," says Leif Haase of the Century Foundation, a healthcare think tank in New York City, US.
Frank says the war on terror is also likely to be to blame for thousands of unnecessary deaths from preventable diseases each day.
She has calculated that on September 11 2001, although 3400 people died as a result of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, another 6620 Americans died as a result of common diseases such as cancer, stroke and heart disease or risky behaviours such as smoking, diet, alcohol and use of fire arms and drugs, over half of which are preventable.
"Funds being taken away from public health efforts and re-directed to the war on terror is going to result in thousands if not millions of American deaths," she says. "We haven't cleared the war on tobacco yet."
FBI funds
And although plans to vaccinate widely against smallpox in 2002 that would have cost billions of dollars were thwarted, "preparedness for bioterrorism still seems magnified well beyond its proportional risk", writes Frank.
She describes how in 2002, New York Governor George Pataki awarded $1.3 million to reduce heart disease, responsible for one-third of New York's fatalities, while the US Department of Health spent $34 million for bioterrorism preparedness in the state.
Congressional auditors also found in 2005 that FBI funds for investigating fraud in health care seemed to have been shifted to fighting terrorism over the past three years.
These sentiments were first brought to attention in March 2005 when 750 microbiologists wrote an open letter to the head of the US National Institutes of Health.
They argued that research likely to lead to advances in genetics and public health was suffering as a result of a massive increase in funding for bioterror agents such Ebola and anthrax.
"The whole bio-defence effort has had a disastrous effect on public health," agrees David Ozonoff, an environmental health researcher at Boston University in Massachusetts, US. "It is seriously crippling wholesale, routine, bread-and-butter health activities."
But not everyone agrees. "The fact is we were radically underspending on biodefence before 2001," says Haase. "To even get to a threshold of preparedness, you have to overspend."

CHICAGO (AP) — Millions of Americans embarking on the nation's annual Thanksgiving migration navigated around the sluggish economy Wednesday, many of them having had to sacrifice summer vacations, scour websites for deals or rely on relatives to chip in for airfare.
Accepting there is no quick end to the road out of recession, many said they've had to become savvier or at least hardier travelers — resilient enough to brave a day-long drive with the kids or a long haul by bus. There were other familiar obstacles, like heavy fog shrouding the air hub of Chicago, which sent delays and cancelations rippling around the nation. There was also a labor march outside an entrance to Los Angeles International Airport, but it caused no disruptions.
"Whatever happens happens," said Robert Johnson, a 63-year-old small business owner waylaid on his journey from Fargo, N.D., to Houston by the fog in Chicago, where he was to connect. "You can't do anything about it. It's not in my control. So you try to stay calm and let it go by and it will get better."
He might have been referring to the whims of nature, but his comments neatly summed up the mindset of many travelers buffeted by the economy.
It's not just family finances that are tighter. Airlines struggling to save on jet fuel and other expenses have cut the number of flights, leading to a jump in airfares. Those hitting the roads face high gas prices and rising tolls.
Other than the Midwest fog, few significant travel problems rose up Wednesday, though firefighters had to put out a small fire in the engine of a JetBlue flight that landed at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. No one was hurt.
On the East Coast, the upheaval caused by Superstorm Sandy meant added costs for some travelers.
The storm forced Chris McLaughlin, a 22-year-old senior at Boston College from West Chester, Penn., to reschedule a medical school interview in Philadelphia, which means he has to make an extra trip home next month. He ended up flying home for Thanksgiving on Wednesday, and all told, the change of plans will set him back about $200, he said.
"It killed me," he said of the financial impact of the storm, which also left his parents without power for eight days. "I think we were feeling we could loosen up a little bit (financially), but with Sandy and everything that happened, (people) feel like they can't."
If the nation's travel patterns are any kind of barometer for the state of the economy, the travel forecast for Thanksgiving week suggested a slight upward nudge as people and businesses recover slowly from the 2007-09 recession in which Americans lost nearly a quarter of their wealth.
About 43.6 million Americans were expected to journey 50 miles or more between Wednesday and Sunday, just a 0.7 percent increase from last year, according to AAA's yearly Thanksgiving travel analysis. After a couple of years of healthy post-recession growth, this year's numbers suggest it will take a stronger economy to lift travel demand significantly, the travel organization said.

AP IMPACT: New GI benefits vary widely by state
When the new GI Bill kicks in Aug. 1, the government's best-known education program for veterans will get the biggest boost since its World War II-era creation. But the benefit is hardly the "Government Issue," one-size-fits-all standard the name implies.
In fact, depending on where service members and veterans decide to attend college, they could receive a full ride, or very little.
An Associated Press review of state-by-state benefits under the new bill shows huge discrepancies in the amount veterans can receive.
For example:
– Veterans attending New Hampshire colleges like Dartmouth might get $25,000 from the government each year, and in Dartmouth's case essentially a free ride, thanks to an additional grant from the Ivy League school. But in neighboring Massachusetts, it is a different story. At that state's numerous private schools – many just as expensive as Dartmouth – the government's baseline tuition benefit is only about $2,200 a year.
– Veterans who choose a private school in Texas could get close to $20,000 a semester from the government for a typical course load. Those picking schools in California will get nothing for tuition.
The explanation stems from the formula the government created, as well as a much-criticized decision by the Department of Veterans Affairs on how to implement the law.
The new GI Bill covers full in-state undergraduate tuition and fees at any public college. That's far more generous than the old GI Bill, which provides a monthly stipend that is the same from state to state.
But Congress also wanted to help veterans attend often pricier private schools. So the new bill offers them an amount equal to the tuition at the most expensive public college in the same state.
That penalizes veterans going to private colleges in states that have kept their public university tuition low.
As a result, the new GI Bill is a great deal for such vets in states like New Hampshire, New York and Texas; a pretty good one in states like Ohio; and hardly any deal at all in Massachusetts and especially California, where the state constitution prohibits public universities from charging tuition. Instead, California's public universities typically charge "fees" of several thousand dollars per year.
Critics argue the Department of Veterans Affairs misinterpreted the law and should have combined tuition and fees in coming up with reimbursement levels. That would have put the total California benefit at around $13,000 per year.
Anthony Brooks, a 26-year-old former Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, will get a mere $5,000 toward the $38,570 tuition charged at the private University of Southern California – and half of that comes from USC through the government's Yellow Ribbon matching-grant program.
"It's depressing, actually. It's putting states up against each other," said Brooks, who plans to become a doctor. He added: "We all fought for our country. It just seems unfair."
The VA says its hands were tied by Congress.
"It is a valid question concerning why we would pay X in State A versus how much we would pay in State B, but the statute defines the kinds of programs we would account for," said Keith Wilson, the department's director of educational services.

Hope they'll also release a PC version. Then I would not pass this up.
@ PBX Your wish will be granted on January 25th.
Here we are people. It's 2013 and one of the earliest games to hit some of our gaming collection is none other than a reboot of the Devil May Cry series. People know the series to be incredibly fun for it's "crazy, stylish action" and Dante's one-liners. Oh and if you pay attention hard enough, there is a story involved.
People have expressed concern over this game for a variety of reasons. Dante's new look, Ninja Theory having a hand in it, it's too easy to get S ranks, you name it. While it's definitely easier to get S ranks at certain parts, it's by no means always easy to do. If you're going for that SSS rank, you have quite a bit of work to do on demons to achieve that. This game has a huge focus on the combat because once you acquire each of your weapons, you can swap between all of them on the fly. Basically, in short, if you pass up on this game, it's a mistake. The game is by no means perfect, but denying yourself the chance to at least try this latest entry seems like a bad idea.
So far, I'm on Mission 9 of the game. A bit over a third of the way in, I'm having fun. My only concerns thus far as with some of the one-liners used and one scene in the game that is probably one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen in a video game. So far, so good. I've been keeping it stylish and genuinely having fun with the game. It was the perfect candidate for episode II of MaxAttack. I'd tell you, but the point of a video is to show you. This is the intro to said video, so what are you waiting for? Check it out and see if this is the game for you!
Hope they'll also release a PC version. Then I would not pass this up.
@ PBX Your wish will be granted on January 25th.

DaVita's Approach to Integrated Care Nationally Recognized
Patient Pathways, VillageHealth Recognized with National Awards
DENVER, May 12, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — DaVita Kidney Care, a division of DaVita HealthCare Partners Inc. (NYSE: DVA) and a leading provider of kidney care services, today announced that its approach to integrated care has been recognized with two Dorland Health "Case In Point" Platinum Awards, a unique awards program that recognizes the most successful and innovative case-management programs working to improve health care across the care continuum.
DaVita's approach to integrated kidney care management includes partnering with patients, physicians, health systems, Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) and payers to provide holistic integrated care for individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD).
"We've been investing and growing our integrated kidney care capabilities for more than a decade and are honored to be recognized for our innovations to improve clinical outcomes while addressing the unique, complex needs of kidney care patients," said Javier Rodriguez, CEO of DaVita Kidney Care.
The two programs that won awards for integrated care are Patient Pathways( )and VillageHealth, both subsidiaries of DaVita.
Pathways Care Management, Patient Pathways – Winner: Best Case Management in Acute Settings, Provider Program
Pathways Care Management (PCM) by Patient Pathways supplements partnering hospitals' staffs with onsite renal nurses, patient liaisons and telephonic renal nurses who are experts in complex kidney patient care management, discharge planning, and post discharge care coordination and coaching.
Founded in 2007, Patient Pathways has improved the quality of life for more than 200,000 dialysis patients in more than 350 hospitals nationwide. The program's goals include improving the transition from the inpatient to the outpatient setting; assisting hospital partners with clinically appropriate reductions in hospital readmissions, avoidable admissions and length of stay; reducing avoidable acute dialysis treatments; and enhancing the patient experience and quality of life.
Since PCM's pilot launch in 2010 and subsequent program launch in 2013, the program has impacted over 5,000 patients and reduced hospital readmission rates an average of 27 percent, saving our hospital partners more than $11 million. Compared to Patient Pathways' original discharge planning service, PCM has proven 50 percent more effective in reducing all-cause readmission rates for ESRD patients.
VillageHealth Integrated Care Management – Winner: Best Disease Management/Population Health
VillageHealth's Integrated Care Management (ICM) services for payers and ACOs provides CKD and ESRD population health management delivered by a team of dedicated and highly skilled nurses who support patients both in the field and over the phone. These nurses use VillageHealth's industry-leading renal decision support and risk stratification software to manage a patient's coordinated needs.
Since 1996, VillageHealth has innovated to become the country's largest renal National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA)-accredited disease management program. ICM partners with patients, providers and care team members, focusing on the root causes of unnecessary hospitalizations such as unplanned dialysis starts, infection, fluid overload and medication management.
Improved clinical outcomes and reduced hospital readmission rates have contributed to improved quality of life for patients. VillageHealth ICM has delivered up to a 15 percent reduction in non-dialysis medical costs for ESRD patients. Applied to our managed ESRD population, this represents an annual savings of more than $30 million.
Winners of the "Case In Point" Platinum Awards were announced May 5, 2014, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

Q: "I fall asleep fine, but when 2 or 3 o'clock comes around I wake up with all kinds of thoughts and fears of things that are so magnified in the middle of the night. Does anybody have any ideas on how I can relax my mind once I wake up so that I can fall back asleep?"
by Stephanie Moulton Sarkis, Ph.D.
A: First I think it is important to get to the root of why you are waking up in the middle of the night.
People with ADHD are more prone to having anxiety and/or depression. They are also more likely to wait until the point of exhaustion before they go to bed – make sure you get to this point.
You may also be living a high-stress lifestyle – you may feel you need that extra stress and pressure to get work done. However, it takes a physical and emotional toll on you.
You may also be experiencing a medication side effect that is causing you anxiety and difficulty sleeping. It is recommended that you talk to your doctor about improving your quality of sleep.
Consider practicing stress-relief techniques (such as exercising, writing out your worries, and meditating) during the day. In addition, keep paper and a pen on your nightstand. When you wake up in the middle of the night, write down all the worries and thoughts that are plaguing you. Do not use an iPad or other illuminating device because it will wake up your brain and make it harder for you to get to sleep.
The bottom line - it would be a good idea to talk to your doctor or mental health clinician to figure out why you are waking up with anxiety.
Stephanie Moulton Sarkis PhD NCC LMHC is the author of four books on adult ADHD, including [[NewWindow(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1572244348/additudemagaz-20, _blank, 10 Simple Solutions to Adult ADHD)]]. She is a psychotherapist, lecturer, and coach. [http://www.stephaniesarkis.com]

Reality Check
Thanks Camaraderie, that thread put a reality check on me. Why spend the blood,sweat and tears...and money to build a nice aluminum that some pirate or 3rd world government might like better once I start cruising the southern seas? Probably better off finding a decent salvage hull from this list and spending the next few years re-building it. Got my eye on a SC 31, just don't know if it would be big enough for me and the misses for an extended period, probably better stick w/ something in 38'-42' range. Have many hours of cruising Texas coast and bays in my Hunter 27 before I'm ready to strike out across blue water anyway. Thanks again

How a school should handle student suicide
This easy, clear guide on how a school should respond to a suicide is from the site of Emergency Management Resource Guide of Kentucky Center for School Safety in the United States.
A school's general response to a suicide does not differ markedly from a response to any death. However, some issues exclusive to suicide require specific attention.
School administrators must allow students to grieve the loss of a peer without glorifying the method of death. Overemphasis on a suicide may be interpreted by vulnerable students as a glamorization of the suicidal act. In rare cases, this can trigger other individuals with similar tendencies to consider suicide as a viable option.
The following "Dos" and "Don'ts" will help school staff limit the glamorization of suicide:
Do acknowledge the suicide as a tragic loss of life.
Do provide support for students profoundly affected by the death.
Don't organize school assemblies to honor the deceased student.
Don't dedicate the yearbook or yearbook pages, newspaper articles, prom, athletic events or advertisements to the deceased individual.
Don't pay tribute to a suicidal act by planting trees, hanging engraved plaques or holding other memorial activities.
A suicide in the school community can heighten the likelihood, in the subsequent weeks, of copycat suicide attempts and threats among those especially vulnerable to the effects of a suicide.
To prevent further tragedies, students considered to be especially susceptible to depression/suicide must be carefully monitored, and appropriate action must be taken if they are identified as high risk. These efforts require an intensive one-on-one intervention rather than a schoolwide response.

The Green Party: Make your baby shower green
Ready for a new twist on a baby shower? Danielle shows you how to throw a bee-themed baby shower that is fun, easy and green. (Nick Scott/MNN)
Danielle: Hi! I'm Danielle. And today I'm gonna talk about how to design an eco-friendly baby shower. I've gone with a honeybee baby theme. Yellow, of course, is sort of your standard fallback color if you don't know if it's gonna be a boy or a girl. And we sort of worked off of that idea and introduced bees as a really great theme, 'cause bees make honey, honey is sweet, babies are sweet, yellow, bee, honey, sweet. I mean, it all makes sense. For our honeybee baby theme, I was able to set the tone with this gorgeous cloth from Harmony Arts, this beautiful yellow dahlias. We get this really great vibrant color. And then that just kind of creates the whole life and theme for the table. And then I use that same cloth. I just had some pieces cut and made into napkin rings. From Tassot Apiaries, we have a great honey stick, which of course works into the whole bee theme. And from Pear and Peony, these Black-eyed Susan wildflower seed kits, which are so cute. Of course the colors work perfectly, and it's this nice little take-home gift for everyone. We, of course, kept working with this yellow and black theme. We have this delicious honey from Tassot and these adorable pure beeswax little honeycomb bee candles, which I absolutely love. So, we're here with New Jersey's queen bee, Bea Tassot from Tassot Apiaries. So, let's start out with honey. I know local honey tastes better, but why, I mean, from a health perspective and from any other – for any other – in any other way, why is it so clearly a better choice?
Bea: If you are, for example, suffering from allergies in the spring or in the fall, local honey would help you fight those allergies. Why? Because those bees are flying all around and bringing all the nectars and pollen that you are allergic to. And they are transforming this nectar and pollen into honey, and this honey you will take regularly and gradually – you will, you will take that honey, one teaspoon a day all year round, and this honey will behave like a vaccine.
Danielle: As usual, we visit our farmer's market. We got some really vibrant gorgeous yellow spray roses, some hydrangea, a whole mix of flowers. And what's great here is, I just pulled some vases from the cupboard, but I wanted to give them a little more life. And I took some different vintage ribbons. I have a black and a yellow vintage ribbon. And so we gave a little bit more life to the vases. And this vase here is actually – the ribbon is actually not vintage, but it's made with water-based inks, it's a pure biodegradable cotton, and that's from Cream City Ribbon. And adding a little black to the table in this little vintage bowls from Fishs Eddy, I have some organic Panda black licorice. Here we have not only a color scheme, we also have a concept. We're going with our honeybee theme. So establish your theme, your color scheme and just figure out what you have around that can play into it. And that's our honeybee baby table. [bzzzz]

Free Wi-Fi catches on with NYC's subway riders
The company is working on the project on weekends and during off hours. In his office in Queens, Bayne and his staff are working on the next installment of 30 stations along the west side of Manhattan. Times Square and Columbus Circle, two of New York's busiest stations, are in the next group to be wired by the end of the year.
"If you got a long commute, that could be as long as 30 minutes, that you are basically without any type of connectivity which some for people is like cutting off their arm," Callahan said. "So I think that this presents people a way for them to stay connected."

Sheraton Frankfurt Congress Hotel
Local Area
Apfelwein. Sushi. Skyscrapers. Half-timbered houses. Frankfurt is a city full of contrasts, with a fascinating blend of the modern and the traditional. More than 80 high-rise buildings that tower into the sky are visible from quite a distance away—a symbol of the city's dynamism.
Frankfurt's most famous sights are all near the Sheraton Frankfurt Congress Hotel—including the Museumsufer, a stretch of the southern bank of the River Main that is home to more than 13 museums; the Palmenhaus, a traditional building in the Botanical Gardens; and the city center churches. Other cultural highlights within easy reach on public transport include the Goethehaus, the cathedral (the Frankfurter Dom), the Römer, which was once Frankfurt's town hall, the opera building, and the Paulskirche (St Paul's Church).
The Sheraton Frankfurt Congress Hotel is located right next to Frankfurt's largest recreational area, Stadtwald Park. This urban wooded area is an ideal place to go for a walk or a jog. Within a radius of 1,000 meters, you will also find a tennis court and three golf courses.

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has warned traders to register for and pay the local body tax (LBT) by May 20 or else face action from May 21.
After abolition of octroi, the much-debated LBT came into force in PMC limits from April 1.
The PMC has set the deadline of May 20 for traders to register their names and start paying LBT. However, traders are opposing LBT and have launched an indefinite strike for the last 10 days. So far, only 63,550 traders are registered with the PMC's LBT department. By May 17, the department managed to collect only Rs7.24 crore as LBT.
Vilas Kanade, head of PMC's LBT department said, "We have registration of 63,550 traders for LBT out of which 57,840 are registered with the sales tax department for value added tax (VAT). There are 5,710 traders who do not fall under VAT and they have registered their names for LBT. Till May 17, we collected Rs7.24 crore amount as LBT out of which Rs4.29 crore was collected on a single day on Friday."
PMC has asked traders to pay LBT on May 18 and May 20 to avoid penalty. Kanade said, "We have appealed to traders to pay tax on May 18 and May 20 as the deadline ends on Monday. We have collected information regarding the goods imported in April and those who will not pay LBT will face action. The traders who have registered under LBT, but fail to pay LBT by the deadline will be charged two per cent on the pending tax every month.
The traders who have not registered under LBT will be penalised with five times of their liabilities. We have formed teams from 100 staffers who will start taking action from May 21."

Civil Society Announces Major Financial Commitments to the Health of Women and Children
- Progress against key targets is encouraging; more is possible with renewed determination -
NEW YORK, Sept. 22 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — A strategy to inspire the world to fulfill promises to save the lives of millions of the world's most marginalized, impoverished and under-served children and women will get significant backing from major humanitarian organizations.
Kevin Jenkins, president of World Vision International, will address the global leaders convened to launch the United Nations Secretary General's Global Strategy for Women and Children's Health in New York today (Wednesday), speaking on behalf of civil society.
"This strategy seeks to correct one of the greatest inequalities of our age, putting right the tragic injustice of eight million children and more than 300,000 pregnant women who die every year from preventable causes," Jenkins will say at the launch event, which begins at 14:30 EDT.
The Millennium Development Goals summit at the United Nations General Assembly this week found in its review of the eight targets that efforts toward meeting MDGs 4 and 5- which deal with the health and survival of mothers, babies and infants – are making some gains. But a decade into the 15 year promise, it is clear most nations will not achieve these two goals at the current rate of progress.
World Vision International has made a commitment of US$1.5 billion to maternal, newborn and child health over five years, with $500 million of that from government or public sources. This week 40 other non-governmental organizations made their own commitments – totaling at least $5 billion of interventions in family and community-based health care and education, support for national health systems, and water, sanitation and nutrition initiatives that create healthier environments.
These pledges underscore a collective determination by civil society to work with communities, governments, foundations, corporations and others in addressing health care inequities that afflict the world's most vulnerable mothers and children.
"We all need to play our part to ensure that health care can reach places where health systems have fallen behind," Jenkins will say at the event.
"As we increase resources, we will also seek to enhance the quality of programming. We will look for more partnerships and encourage innovation."
Facts and Background:
- The commitments are a key part of civil society's contribution to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon's Global Strategy for Women's and Children's Health launched today at the 65(th) UN General Assembly in New York this week, where governments are meeting to discuss the current outlook for meeting the Millennium Development Goals ("MDGs"). This investment by these NGOs aims to help bring developing countries closer to achieving Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5, the two targets relating to maternal and child health, as well as Goal 6, which aims to combat AIDS and other diseases
- Estimates released last week demonstrate progress is being made: Child deaths have declined by a third since 1990, from 34,000 per day, from 12,000. Nonetheless, only 9 of 64 countries with the highest mortality of children under 5 will meet their goals for reducing child deaths by 2015.
- The MDG 4 target is to reduce the under-five mortality rate by two-thirds by 2015, from 1990 levels: MDG 5 aims to reduce the maternal mortality rate by three quarters and achieve universal access to reproductive health; and MDG 6 aims halt and begin to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS, malaria and other major diseases, and provide universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those who need it.

Fire marshal deems Corpus Christi motel fire site safe for people in proximity
Cause investigation continues with focus on gas lines as property is secured by owners friends
CORPUS CHRISTI - Fire officials continue to investigate the cause of an explosive fire Thursday at a Corpus Christi Beach motel that bowed walls and shot a second-floor door across the courtyard.
"An explosion with such significant concussion is consistent with a gas leak," said Corpus Christi Fire Marshal Andy Cardiel.
"There were no combustible materials or bomb debris," he said.
There were no open gas lines or leaking gas appliances. The extended-stay Aquarium Inn & Suites' insurance company hired a specialized investigations firm in Dallas to sift though the damage next week, Cardiel said.
A local adjuster assessed the damage at about $700,000.
Gas department crews returned Friday, checking lines around the complex, and Cardiel felt it was safe to allow onlookers in proximity.
Friends of the owners were allowed onto the property to secure it with exterior fencing. They said the owner was at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio with his wife who was injured in the fire. They did not know her condition.
American Red Cross provided motel rooms for six of the 19 residents displaced, said Sherry Bowers, spokeswoman for American Red Cross Coastal Bend Texas Chapter. One resident was helped with a clothing voucher. Of those displaced, 12 were workers on the Harbor Bridge project, whose company provided them motel rooms elsewhere, Bowers said.
Adjacent businesses reopened late Thursday.
"I really thought business would be ruined for the whole weekend," said Michelle Cory, manager of Dot'z Dawgs & Drafts ice cream store in the same block of North Shoreline Boulevard. "Police told us to close during the fire, but we reopened at 6:30 p.m. and were busy in the first hour."
Pier 99 Restaurant across the street had about $1,600 in business for dinner Thursday night.
"That's pretty good for us during our offseason," said Manager Sherry Floyd. "We had a really good lunch rush Friday from lots of onlookers."
Shannon Young of Calallen brought her three children for a close-up look.
"I wanted the kids to see how quickly things can happen," she said. "We are regular visitors of the aquarium, and we use the entrance right next to this motel. This makes me so sad."

Cold War
Cold War and the 1980 Moscow Olympics
The Olympic Games have been subject to a number of boycotts for political reasons. The 1980 and 1984 Olympics were controversial because of the particular connection with Cold War rivalry between the USA and its allies and the Soviet Union and its allies. Australia was caught up in these controversial issues. In 1980 the Australian Olympic Federation decided in a split vote to attend the Games, but some sport federations and athletes were pressured into boycotting the Games and a team of 204 athletes became a team of 127 athletes.

Transparency Between Components | Fix iBox Height
Posted 23 February 2014 - 07:46 PM
Posted 23 February 2014 - 08:36 PM
Could we have a link to your site and we can advise further on this for you

PW: helpme
Posted 24 February 2014 - 01:04 PM
I am not entirely sure what you mean, as the iBox section by default isn't transparent. The only way that section can be set transparent is by either custom CSS you have added or you're using a third party child theme, which has its own styling.
We do not provide support for third party themes nor do third party theme share the same styling or it is highly unlikely they do. I have viewed your website and you appear to be using the Sophistique child theme. This theme has styling for iboxes which contains a white background and grey border at the bottom, if you want to remove this you will need to use custom CSS. I have provided you with the code to achieve a transparent background:
#site .ibox { background-color: transparent; border: 0 none; }
In regards to setting a height to the iboxes, not sure what you mean. However, you will need to get this support for the themes developer.
Please be aware that if you're using a third party theme which it appears you're, you will need to post your question in the store forum under the developers own forum if he/she has one. When creating your topic in that forum, use the prefix to select your product you're having difficulty with.
I have moved your topic to the correct forum. Also, our forum policy is one question per topic, in future please do not ask multiple questions per topic.

Hi Martin. Could you check the two image above. We're only asking 2 fairly simple questions that we hope you guys can help us answer. The scrolling parallax doesn't seem to be working for us. And is there a way to set the iBox codes to a fixed height? Thanks

Hi guys - the credentials no longer work.
Posted 26 February 2014 - 11:58 AM
Hello @fiona
2.) I need to fix the height of the iboxes. Can you provide me with the custom code to do this?
can you clarify this for us please? The iboxes themselves are dynamic and fit to the height of the content. In what way do you want to fix the height? You can set the height of the full width section you have them in but the iboxes themselves will be smaller if the content is smaller?
As for the PArallax issue - i will ask the Dev for the theme to take a look at this for you.
we will update you shortly,

I'm glad I could provide you with some entertainment at this late hour lol.
I actually meant the banning of those two. I had an issue with something, and just left it as it was with no intention of furthering it, but unfortunately the other "team" didn't have that same state of mind. Silly when you look at who actually had the power around here lol. The last thing I wanted to do was ban anyone, but a mods gotta do what a mods gotta do sometimes lol.
It was nice to see you letting Jose have it actually. Totally touched him when he accused you of sucking up to Broc lol.
Way I see it, it's better to just tell the truth in circumstances like that
I'm just upset it got to the level it did in the first place.
Fair enough.
Yea, everything is cool...
Hey just a question. I was about to pm G.G.G. but I see he hasn't been on in a while...
Is he still lurking around or is he busy doing something?
See? Ashley knows what's up.
I can get him kneecapped
Do you think he is that stupid to say that? lol
I do know people... what is it worth to you?
That inbox of yours needs a shit mate.
I do but...you refused to hug me

Most of the transparency films will give "push up" rendition of colors and the corrections you could do will be after scanning. If you work with a good laboratory you can work on the contacts giving your taste in the filtration of colors. Rate NPS at 100 iso. Hope this helps.

Parker leads Sparks to win over Mercury
PHOENIX Using speed and opportunistic defense, the Los Angeles Sparks continued their winning ways.
Candace Parker had 21 points, eight rebounds and five assists to lead the Los Angeles Sparks to their fifth straight win, an 88-76 victory Sunday over the Phoenix Mercury.
"We played aggressive, we didn't lay down in the second half," Parker said. "I think we were able to get up and make things difficult for them on the offensive end and we outrebounded them (37-27)."
Nneka Ogwumike added 16 points and 13 rebounds for the Sparks, who have beaten their last five opponents by an average of 18.6 points a game after a 5-4 start.
"Any time you go on the road and beat a good team, that's a good day's work," said Sparks coach Carol Ross. "I really love how we won this because we didn't play great in all aspects but we were grinders and we stayed focused."
Phoenix (8-7) played its second straight game without No. 1 draft pick Brittney Griner, who has a sore left knee injured June 6 against Minnesota.
"We tried to get some pacing and run in there but they were scoring," Phoenix coach Corey Gaines said in explaining his strategy without his big rookie who is among the league leaders with 14.9 points and 6.4 rebounds a game. "So they were trying to go inside on us and we doubled and (Lindsey) Harding is a smart point guard and instead of shooting jump shots, she drove into the paint."
Harding added 15 points and five assists for the Sparks (10-4), the top scoring and best shooting team in the league, whose transition game led to 21 fast-break points on Sunday.
"That's what we want to do, we want to get out in transition, we want to run, rebound the basketball and quick outlet," Parker said. "I think we did a good job of that."
Between the posts and guards driving, Los Angeles outscored Phoenix 46-36 in the lane.
Los Angeles took control early with a 13-point run in the first quarter and then held off Phoenix rallies in the second and third quarters.
Diana Taurasi had 23 points, including three 3-pointers, to lead the Mercury, who have lost three straight after winning five in a row. DeWanna Bonner added 17 points and four rebounds for Phoenix.
"Not executing on offense," Taurasi said. "We get positions where we take bad shots and that gives them a good opportunity to run. They do a better job of that. We fought for 40 minutes, it just wasn't our day."
Ogwumike scored four points in a seven-point spurt midway through the third quarter that gave Los Angeles separation. The team had traded baskets to start the period but Ogwumike's layup made it 60-47.
"We did a good job of maintaining the aggression, finishing strong and doing our best on defense," Ogwumike said.
Parker scored 14 first-half points to lead the Sparks to a 43-37 advantage at the break.
Los Angeles overcame a shaky stretch of missing 6-of-8 free throws over the final three and a-half minutes of the third quarter, holding a 68-59 lead going into the final period.

Ubisoft Registers Web Domain for 'Fighter Within'
By Chris Holzworth, News Editor

Posted on August 15, 2013 AT 11:55am
A domain name recently registered by Ubisoft indicates the company has something titled Fighter Within in development, Fusible reports.
Earlier this month, Ubisoft teased a "new next-gen IP currently in development" that would be revealed at GamesCom next week. It could be that the domains, which were registered in June and are barren beyond a "Coming Soon" notice, will go live once Fighter Within—if that is the name of this new IP—is unveiled.
Gamescom kicks off in Cologne, Germany on August 21 and lasts through the 25.

Barberio (pictured) is tied for 10th in the league in scoring among defensemen. Benoit Gervais (undrafted) of Rouyn-Noranda leads with 34 points in 31 games. A free agent, Gervais had just 20 points in 64 games between PEI and Rimouski last year before exploding this year. He has good size at 6'2†200 pounds.

C/W Alexander Killorn, HAR: 1-0-1, E, 2 PIM (high sticking), 4 SOG
Season totals: 12 GP, 3-6-9, -2, 24 PIM
Killorn scored on a five-on-three power play to open the game's scoring. He was checked from behind later in the game resulting in the ejection of Chris VandeVelde (Edmonton). Killorn's goal was his third, which is second on the Crimson. Just a freshman, Killorn leads the team in points by two over sophomore Michael Biega (undrafted). Biega and his brother, Crimson junior Alex (Buffalo) attended Salisbury prep with Lightning prospect Kevin Quick. Killorn is also second on the team in penalty minutes, just two behind junior defenseman Chad Morin (undrafted).
NHL Game Night 12/6: Sabres at LightningSubmitted by pete on December 6, 2008 - 22:14
The Lightning continue to be the antithesis of clutch.

13:05 TB St. Louis (7), (Lecavalier, Krajicek)

14:41 BUF Hecht (3), (Mair, Lydman)
15:20 TB Prospal (6), (Malik, St. Louis)
Third Period
10:03 BUF Roy (7), (Numminen, Stafford)
Vets played better. The effort was there. The results weren't.
Steve Downie was -1 with 4 hits in 9:24, and lost a fight to Adam Mair.
Matt Smaby had 1 hit in 8:32, and was caught in no man's land on Buffalo's second goal. Tonight was the kind of night that gets you reassigned to the minors, in my opinion.
Paul Szczechura was -1 with 1 hit and 1 blocked shot in 15:21. He was also 71% on draws, and was the best among the recent callups tonight.
Steven Stamkos had 4 shots and was 67% on draws in 19:28. The Lightning look like they're starting to work the puck more to him on the power play, and the kid has a great shot. Frustratingly, it's still not finding twine yet.

Current and future initiatives planned for the city of Little Falls waterfront will be the topic of discussion during a Tuesday, June 26, public forum at the Knights Inn.
The waterfront connections forum, a collaboration between the city of Little Falls, the New York State Department of State, the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, the Little Falls Harbor Commission and several community groups, will take place from 6 to 8 p.m.
Members of the public will be asked to provide feedback about the value of the city's waterfront and current and future project needs during the forum, which will include presenters from New York state, the city of Rome and the city of Little Falls. The program will also include information on the economic and social impacts of waterfront revitalization and how state and local funding can attract additional private investment and economic activity that ultimately benefits the community.
"Our waterfront has made great strides in less than 20 years, and we would like to continue that momentum to create more opportunities for boaters, residents and tourists to spend more time in Little Falls," said Mayor Robert Peters. "This forum will not only allow us to brag about our past success, but to discuss future plans and ideas the community desires for our waterfront as well."
Peters added public and private efforts since the mid-1990s have encouraged the investment of millions of dollars to cleanup junkyards, renovate old mill buildings, build trails and attract residents, tourists and visitors to Canal Place and the harbor along the Mohawk River and Erie Canal waterfront.
"The June 26 forum will be open to everyone. Residents and business and property owners are invited to attend and learn about how far the waterfront has come, how other Mohawk Valley communities have dealt with waterfront revitalization and to share ideas to shape the waterfront connections project and future initiatives for the community," he said.
The city's waterfront connections project, which was awarded $324,275 in grant funding from the state Department of State through the Local Waterfront Revitalization Program in 2009, will be introduced during the forum. The project involves the creation of a marina and additional parking at the harbor facility on Southern Avenue, adjacent to the city's boat launch at the western end.
The grant will also support planning for a future pedestrian and bicycle bridge over the Erie Canal at Benton's Landing to better connect Canal Place and downtown with the city's South Side and harbor.
The state assistance contract that was executed for the project requires the city to provide a local share of the project cost in an amount of at least $324,275, including the value of any volunteer and in-kind services and the contribution of other qualified federal, state and local funding sources.
The final year the city can take advantage of the funding is 2013
Page 2 of 2 - The waterfront connections project is a recommendation from the city's local waterfront revitalization plan, which also recommended additional waterfront and downtown improvements to increase the economic and recreational value of the Mohawk River and Erie Canal.
The plan, updated in 2007, is considered to be the guiding force behind the creation of the canal harbor and Rotary Park, the renovation of the terminal building as a visitor center, construction of Benton's Landing and various improvements to the Erie Canalway Trail and other waterfront facilities.
More information about the June 26 waterfront connections forum at the Knights Inn can be obtained by calling the Little Falls Urban Renewal Agency at 574-5249.

SEATTLE (AP) — One of the originals still around since the inaugural 2009 season, Brad Evans has witnessed many nights when the fans of the Seattle Sounders top what they've done before.
Seattle shutouts Cascadia rival Portland 3-0
Playing before one of the largest crowds in league history and against a fierce rival on Sunday night could be the top.
"You always remember certain games and get emotional with certain games," Evans said. " ... Anytime you walk out and you feel the chills, you know it's going to be a special game and you play off those emotions because that pushes you through walls and that's something I thought our guys played off the crowd tonight and we won."
Eddie Johnson scored his 14th goal of the season just minutes after an own goal gave Seattle the lead, Fredy Montero added another in the 62nd minute, and the Sounders raced past Cascadia rival Portland 3-0 before the second largest crowd for a stand-alone MLS game in league history.
Johnson's goal in the 28th minute gave Seattle a 2-0 lead and helped the Sounders move into third-place in the Western Conference, two points clear of fourth-place Los Angeles. It was a vital three points in Seattle's efforts to avoid having the No. 4 seed in the MLS Western Conference playoffs and having to play an extra playoff game against the No. 5 seed with the winner of that likely getting San Jose in the conference semifinals.
So while the massive crowd was impressive and Seattle gave itself a shot at retaining the Cascadia Cup in the rivalry with Portland and Vancouver, picking up three needed points in the playoff race trumped it all.
The official attendance of 66,452 was the second largest for a stand-alone match in league history. There've been doubleheaders featuring international friendlies to go along with a league match, but in terms of a match between two MLS teams, the only one to top what Portland and Seattle drewwas the first match in league history when Los Angeles hosted New York at the Rose Bowl in 1996 in front of 69,255.
Those in attendance for the latest installment of the Cascadia rivalry included MLS commissioner Don Garber, who jumped on a plane Sunday morning just to take in the atmosphere and was headed back to New York after the match on a red-eye.
"I knew this would be a historic event as it would lead in to this weekend. ... It's just another one of these great moments. We've been saying that a lot lately, but it's really true," Garber said.
It was the second-largest crowd to see a Sounders match, behind a friendly against Manchester United in the summer of 2011. Seattle coach Sigi Schmid, who was featured on a large Tifo from the Sounders' supporters before the match, was emotional trying to describe what the setting meant.

Just as many eyes are focused on the climate change/global warming cases pending in the appellate courts, a group of activist environmentalists have enrolled new plaintiffs to bring an old legal theory into the climate change litigation mix. A case filed last week alleges that the atmosphere is a "public trust resource" and, as such, the government has a duty to act to protect it. See Loorz v. Jackson, No. CV11-2203 (N.D. Cal., 5/4/11).
Plaintiffs are youths, alleged to be "beneficiaries" of the "public trust," including the teenage head of the group, Kids v. Global Warming, which is also a named plaintiff. Defendants are the EPA and numerous federal agencies who allegedly could act to curb greenhouse gas emissions allegedly linked to global warming.

Green Energy Corp Releases GreenBus Platform for Smart Grid Transformation
DENVER, Feb. 1, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Green Energy Corp, a software technology company that enables traditional and emerging power providers to move to the Smart Grid, today announced the commercial release of its GreenBus(TM) platform for utilities, and the first power utility contract for a GreenBus subscription.
The GreenBus, Green Energy Corp's flagship product, is the culmination of the company's deep experience helping utilities modernize the operation of the power grid. At the core of the GreenBus is a secure middleware platform that captures extremely high volume, real-time field device data and interconnects that data with operations and business systems. With this new access to grid intelligence and coordinated applications, utilities are able to make the promise of the Smart Grid a reality.
"We have been close to the development and evolution of the GreenBus over the last year," said Randy Brecheisen, President and CEO of Piedmont Electric. "Our commitment to incorporate the GreenBus into our Smart Grid initiatives reflects our expectation for an immediate impact on our operating efficiency as well as providing a much needed technology platform to support upcoming needs, such as support for electric vehicles."
GreenBus was designed to provide a clear pathway for utilities to incrementally adopt smart technology without disrupting the performance of today's dated, but still reliable grid. The pathway starts with Green Energy Corp's commitment to an open source model that connects a global community of engineers and developers to create, test and share smart solutions. In addition to driving rapid innovation, the Green Energy Corp sponsored open source community (www.TotalGrid.org) is expected to accelerate the adoption of standards.
"An open source strategy is vital if we are to transform to a smart grid, and to allow utilities of all sizes to own their information destiny," said Peter Gregory, CEO of Green Energy Corp. "It is the only cure for the silos that exist at virtually every utility. GreenBus customers have the only path to effectively integrate old but critical legacy devices with advanced technology accessible in a managed, virtualized platform."
Derived from the open source community, Green Energy Corp engineers perform authentication and quality testing to harden the GreenBus into a utility grade solution which meets the standards of security and reliability demanded by the power industry. Security, scalability and high performance are embedded in the design of every GreenBus component. The GreenBus real-time data collection system includes data capture adaptors that are standards-based (DNP3, Modbus and IEC 61850), or customized for hundreds of legacy devices. The GreenBus Application Programming Interface (API) enables secure intra-application communications, including use of the standard MultiSpeak(TM). The GreenBus API also allows management of field devices, access to real-time and historical data, events, alarms and other critical grid information.
Members of the recently announced GreenBus Alliance program are application developers and systems integrators using the GreenBus as a core platform to reduce their time to market and to provide greater value to their customers. The GreenBus is available to utility customers and Alliance partners via a subscription service from Green Energy Corp.

The Ruby boot camp, held at the iHub on Saturday 28, July 2012 brought together over 40 enthusiasts ranging from novice computer users to developers with years of experience to teach and learn about Ruby. Attendees were split up into three experience levels, and teachers from Google, Kopo Kopo, Safaricom, and Samasource led morning and afternoon sessions. (See Links to Training Materials below).
The morning session was focused on learning the basics of Ruby - the topics were covered quickly, but by the end, all of the attendees were given an overview of objects, methods, variables, syntax, and best practices for the Ruby language.
The afternoon session was devoted to covering the basics of web application development using Rails (for the advanced and intermediate group) and Sinatra (for the beginners class). Topics included an overview of MVC, REST, model design, and source control. Many applicants completed the session with live applications deployed on Heroku, and code uploaded to fresh repositories on Github.
