15. How much money does Doctors Without Borders raise? Who does this money come from?
In 2010, the revenue of Doctors Without Borders USA totaled $264 million – all of this raised through private contributors, such as individuals, foundations, and corporations. Private support is essential to our ability to operate independently and to respond at a moment's notice to the most urgent emergencies, often in countries and regions that are otherwise forgotten.
16. What percentage of a donation goes to program activities?
Doctors Without Borders strives to operate efficiently and to minimize fundraising and administrative costs. Between 1995 and 2013, Doctors Without Borders USA allocated more than 85 percent of its expenditures to its program activities. Maintaining this standard is a high priority. In 2013, more than 87% of our spending was directed toward our program services.
Doctors Without Borders USA meets the standards of watchdog agencies, having consistently been awarded an "A" rating from the American Institute of Philanthropy.
03. Is Doctors Without Borders a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization? Is my donation tax-deductible?
Doctors Without Borders USA, Inc. is recognized as tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. 100% of your donation is tax-deductible.

Tri-State G&T (TSGT) is a not-for-profit cooperative.
It's interest in the line, by definition, can't be for profit.

Duke Energy Updates N.C. Legislative Commission on Coal Ash
Duke Energy takes full responsibility for the Dan River incident
Duke Energy's North Carolina state president, Paul Newton, spoke before the N.C. Joint Environmental Review Commission (ERC) on the company's response to the Feb. 2 Dan River coal ash incident and its near-term and longer-term actions to address coal ash across the state.
Newton told the ERC the company takes full responsibility for the Dan River incident. He also discussed the significant steps Duke Energy has taken on the site and in the river since the company's previous update to the ERC on Feb. 17. These include:
EF-1500 and EF-6000 commercial-grade drinking water systems can be connected directly to any existing faucet anywhere in the home. The systems filter down to 0.5 µ and remove many substances commonly found in tap water, including lead and chlorine. They are rated at 1,500- and 6,000-gal capacities, respectively, and are available in select U.S. markets only.
NSF Intl. Drinking Water Expert to Speak at WQA Aquatech USA
Rick Andrew will discuss the new draft standard on emerging compounds/incidental contaminants
Rick Andrew, director of the NSF Intl. Drinking Water Business Development Div., will discuss a new draft standard on emerging compounds/incidental contaminants at the WQA Aquatech USA tradeshow in Orlando, Fla., on Thursday, March 20, at 8 a.m.
NSF Launches StaySafer Program
StaySafer program will help the hospitality industry prevent food and water contamination
NSF Intl. launched a new program that helps hotels, resorts and other hospitality settings prevent food and water contamination. The StaySafer program provides the hospitality industry with a credible means to demonstrate the safety of its food and water to travelers, agencies and hotel rating websites.
New Year, New Laws
Whether you slept through the ball drop at midnight or yelled "Happy New Year!" with your friends and family, 2014 is well underway. With the new year came some new laws that everyone in the drinking water treatment industry we should be aware of.
California Product Registration
Regulatory changes affecting the water industry in 2014
Trouble at the Tap
Many Americans, Asians and Europeans worry about the quality of their tap water; almost 40% of Americans participating in a new survey said they boiled or filtered their water before drinking it. That level of concern is a key trend in consumer attitudes toward the water they drink at home, work and leisure.
Bottled Water Binge
Attitudes toward tap water lead consumers to search for treatment options
Feeling the Fear
The year started off with big news in the water treatment industry. The chemical spill in West Virginia, which affected more then 300,000 people, topped national headlines for weeks in January. The "do not use" advisory lasted more then a week for portions of that population, forcing them to rely on bottled water for drinking, cooking and bathing for up to 10 days.
WQA to Host Mitigating Recontamination Webinar
Webinar will identify treatment technologies and equipment needed to mitigate recontamination
The Water Quality Assn. (WQA) will host its Mitigating Recontamination webinar on Feb. 5, 2014, at 2 p.m. EST. The webinar will explain where recontamination may occur and identify treatment technologies and equipment needed to mitigate recontamination. In order for your registration to be processed, it much be purchased no later than 5 p.m. EST on Feb. 4.
Arsenic Reduction Systems
Nelsen Arsenic Reduction Systems feature the 7000PID (Nelsen proprietary controller) arsenic reduction control valve and LayneRT adsorption media. The 7000PID is a non-backwashing controller programmed for the specific water chemistry for each installation. It indicates system capacity and the remaining safe levels of media adsorption. LayneRT is a proprietary, durable, arsenic-selective media.
NGWA Provides Guidance on Hydrogen Sulfide
New best suggested practice developed for water well system professionals
The National Ground Water Assn. (NGWA) has developed an industry best suggested practice (BSP) for water well system professionals to use on how to deal with problematic concentrations of hydrogen sulfide in residential water well systems.

Navy dolphins, sea lions losing out to robots
But marine mammals still beat machines at security, retrieval
The Navy sea lion's other mission is to find objects, such as inert missiles placed during training exercises, on the ocean floor.
Using its spectacular underwater hearing and eyesight, the mammal is trained to search out the object. It carries a plate in its mouth and hooks on a line attached to the plate.
Those jobs are safe because, at present, robots aren't good at them or cost effective, Rothe said.
For example, "finding a swimmer is one thing, interdicting it is another," he said. "Right now the sea lions are the only nonlethal interdiction system that the Navy has in the inventory."
Dolphins also find invading swimmers. But their special job is mines — a long-important task in the sea service, as enemy mines have been responsible for 14 of the 19 Navy ships destroyed or damaged since 1950.
But with Iran threatening to mine the Strait of Hormuz, the pinch point of Middle East oil shipping, the topic of mines is again important.
Earlier this year, the Navy doubled the number of minesweeper ships in that region by moving four from San Diego. These wood-hulled mine countermeasure vessels do broad sweeps for obstructions in the sea.
The job of Navy dolphins is to find and mark mines using their innate sonar location ability. They can mark mines in shallow water, in deep water when tethers are employed and on the bottom despite sediment cover and plant growth — three separate skills.
These dolphins are also trained, just like the Marines, to be "expeditionary" — or to take the fight on the road.
Dolphins are carried aboard Navy ships in large movable pools, about 20 feet in diameter. Dolphins traveled on the amphibious ship Gunston Hall in 2003 for the Iraq war.
They work for sardines. And herring, smelt and squid.
And these marine mammals have a pretty good pension program. The Navy is responsible for their care throughout their lives, even after they stop performing missions. Sometimes Navy dolphins are loaned to animal parks, such as Sea World, later in life.
The Navy breeds dolphins to replenish its own ranks, though the project used wild ones until 1989. Breeding is not an option for sea lions.
The military only uses male sea lions who are neutered — to curb aggression, improve health and keep weight at a manageable 300 pounds. New recruits are often strays who became stranded as youths.
While young marine mammals train, the replacement — at least for some — sits not far away at the naval base.
Space and Naval Warfare Systems engineers in Point Loma have developed a robot that can run for 24 hours underwater. Called Kingfish, the unmanned vehicle is programmed, then placed in the water. Its job is to collect information on the underwater picture.
Kingfish, the newer larger version of a prototype called Swordfish, has been used in a limited way for more than two years. It was demonstrated publicly by the Navy during a mine countermeasures exercise in the Persian Gulf in September. The exercise, with 30 U.S. allies, served as a muscle-flexing of the American anti-mine ability.
The total cost of the Kingfish program, compared to the marine mammals, is still not determined, Rothe said.

The general characteristics of both the downloadable parcel data and the corresponding web service would adhere to the following characteristics:
Data Contents—Both the data and the web service would consist of graphics, attribute data, and related metadata designed and structured to offer seamless coverage of all 50 states as well as U.S. insular areas.
Geographic Reference—National parcel data would employ a single, well-defined geographic reference framework based on North American Datum of 1983, consistent with NSDI specifications and sufficiently documented to allow easy transformation into the respective coordinate systems that may be employed by different users.
Coordinated and Authoritative—Parcel data would be created from and maintained through a distributed network of individual "authorized" suppliers at the state, county, and local levels.
Limited Basic Functionality—Parcel information should be viewable by panning and zooming across a national map and be searchable by attributes—centering the view on a given city, street address, zip code, or even a local parcel identification (ID) number (PIN).
Navigation Through Place Names—Names of key public sites may also be used to center the view on a given geographical area.
An already existing visual illustration of the committee's vision can be seen in Figure 6.2. This figure shows parcel data across the boundary of two states, accessible through The National Map. This is just one aspect of what the committee envisions for the whole nation.
Any successful funding model would address two different aspects: (1) the production of digital parcel data where they do not yet exist, and (2) the additional costs needed to ensure the data are consistent and have been reconciled across boundaries, and can be accessed and used as a seamless national data set. Getting support for the program will involve a marketing strategy and the proper identification of the products and service. If the service and product are properly defined, clients will become eager customers. There are many stakeholders, which makes it possible to create a sustained program for parcel data development.
The funding model would first address the concerns of local governments that are the primary producers of parcel data. There are literally hundreds of different models for local parcel data production, and as noted in Chapter 4, there is considerable evidence of sufficient return on investment to justify the creation of parcel data even in smaller communities. Local governments have discovered that the cost of a parcel system is often offset by the addition of many new properties to the tax rolls and by having an improved basis for property assessment and taxation. Many of them are also supporting their systems with fees attached to real estate transactions. These same local governments are also realizing that as parcel data become the authoritative source for street addresses, they can justify non-real estate-based sources of funding. Most importantly, first responders and law enforcement personnel would have access to accurate locations of a street address. As the source of street addresses, parcel data can not only save lives but also provide a justification for funding from E911 fees and even federal funds from DHS and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Much of the existing revenue that comes through collaboration agreements, licensing agreements, real estate transaction fees, or E911 fees would not be significantly affected by a national program. Local government licensing fees are often (but not always) based on the attributes associated with the data above and beyond the geometry, address, and PIN required for a national system. Therefore, the national data will provide an advertisement for the detailed data

Events Calendar
By Eliot Kleinberg, Palm Beach Post, June 6, 2014
"Finally, and behind schedule, what had been a forsaken vacant lot is starting to take shape as Urban Growers Community Farm, the city's first urban garden.
"A 6-foot tall, 600-foot long black aluminum fence is going up around the farm at 1400 Henrietta Ave.
"The fence originally had encircled the Edward J. Healey Rehabilitation Center; after the center moved in 2013 from 45th Street to Blue Heron Boulevard, the Palm Beach County Facilities Development and Operations Department donated the fence to the farm.
"And on May 27, a truck brought 13 cubic feet of soil and 240 cinder blocks, donated by the Urban League of Palm Beach County.
"The materials will go into six raised beds. When completed, each bed will be used by residents of the Coleman Park, Historic Northwest and Pleasant City neighborhoods who wish to grow their own fresh produce."
"The Clean Power Plan has two main parts: state-specific goals to lower carbon pollution from power plants and guidelines to help the states develop their plans for meeting the goals."
The EPA is hoping to build on programs already working.
"Existing programs also recognize the interconnected nature of the power sector – looking from "plant to plug" to find cost-effective and proven solutions. For example, 47 states have utilities that run demand-side energy efficiency programs, 38 states have renewable portfolio standards or goals, and 10 states have market-based greenhouse gas emissions reduction programs."

Drowning in Miscellany
"my whole life ... I was not waving but drowning"
It's great to hear from you -- fascinating reading as always, Michael.
That sounds amazing.
Wow - such poetic writing, and vivid imagery!
We've been looking over the jobs posted... We both qualify for a lot of the IT jobs, but I am so tempted to just go for a shuttle bus driver job so that I get to spend my time outdoors....
if you are serious about the shuttle job shoot me an email: mananath@yahoo. and I will fill you in a bit on it. It can be a fun job.
Love your writing. I don't know how far away Terre Adelie is from you, but two years ago there was an article in the Washington Post about melting ice endangering the Emperor penguins there: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co
love your writing, but what happened to the ice sounded like something not funny at all in my brain. I can appreciate the beauty of it but also it´s something to worry about. A lot.
You need to find some pics of the penguin traffic, please please! :)
Beautiful to imagine and at a same time a little scary, Weren't there any worries that the water would get all the way to SB?

It's Time to Dial Back on Risk
Bulls say the capital markets are in a "risk rally," while cynics call it a "dash for trash." Whatever the label, assets that investors were too fearful to touch last year have lately been the market's top performers.
That has made safe havens, which have lagged behind risky assets, more attractive by comparison. Investors would be wise to swap some of their bolder bets for boring ones.
A Standard & Poor's index of "low quality" stocks based on measures like earnings stability has gained 15% this year, versus 10% for its high-quality sibling. Greek stocks have leapt 17% this year, versus 11% for world shares overall. The top gainer in the U.S. market, Sears Holdings, SHLD 1.12 % is up 117% this year, even though Wall Street doesn't expect the company to turn a profit this year or next. High yield or "junk" bonds have also been top performers.
This rise of the weak is good in that it means investors feel the chances of another financial crisis are shrinking, says Peter Tuz, president of Chase Investment Counsel, an asset manager based in Charlottesville, Va. That optimism has pushed all stocks higher this year; the Dow Jones Industrials surged 8.1% in the first quarter, not counting dividends—their best start since 1998.
But it is a good time for investors to make sure their portfolios aren't too heavily weighted in areas that have run up sharply, says Mr. Tuz. For example, economically sensitive stocks have raced ahead of the market. Within the S&P 500, financials are up 21% this year and technology 22%, while consumer-discretionary stocks, such as Netflix NFLX 0.24 % and Amazon.com, AMZN 1.83 % have jumped 15%.
Stodgier shares have trailed. Utilities are down 3%; telecommunication stocks have barely budged; and consumer-staples producers such as Kellogg K -0.42 % and Procter & Gamble PG -0.09 % are up just 4%, on average.
To be sure, boring stocks could keep on lagging behind risky ones if the pace of the economic recovery in the U.S. continues to strengthen. But that doesn't mean it is wise to bet everything on growth.
John Canally, a strategist at LPL Financial, a platform for independent brokers, says he has been reducing risk in his model portfolios for several weeks. "We've seen a summer swoon in the stock market each of the past two years," he says. "Given the speed of the recent run-up, it wouldn't surprise me if we see another one."
The easiest way for investors to move money toward safer sectors is through exchange-traded funds like Vanguard Consumer Staples VDC 0.10 % and Utilities Select Sector SPDR. XLU -0.04 %
Mr. Canally also recommends moving money from stocks to bonds, from overseas to the U.S., and from high-volatility stocks to steadier ones.
To add bond exposure while avoiding the riskiest issues, investors can buy a fund that focuses on corporate bonds but avoids "junk," like iShares iBoxx Investment Grade Corporate Bond. LQD 0.48 % It yields 4.3%.
For less-volatile stocks, there are "low beta" funds. Beta is a measure of past trading volatility. Stocks with low betas are expected, based on their history, to rise less than the market during rallies but also fall less during downturns.
True to form, the Russell 1000 Low Beta ETF, which holds steady stocks like consumer-staples companies Altria MO -0.31 % and Coca-Cola, KO -0.29 % is up 7% this year, while its high-beta counterpart, which holds economically sensitive shares such as Caterpillar CAT 1.59 % and Netflix, is up 16%.
Laif Meidell, manager of the AdvisorShares Meidell Tactical Advantage MATH 0.12 % ETF, uses recent price changes as a signal to raise or lower exposure to risky stocks. He says the risk rally has started fizzling.
Consider the 10-year Treasury note. It yielded less than 2% at the start of the year. As investors left Treasurys for riskier fare this year, Treasury prices fell and their yields rose. The 10-year peaked at around 2.4% earlier this month. But as share prices broadly fell this past week, investors returned to Treasurys, and the 10-year yield fell back to 2.2%.
Mr. Meidell has been reducing risk in part by shifting money from emerging markets, which are up 13% year-to-date, according to the MSCI Emerging Markets index, to large-company stocks in the U.S.
Mr. Tuz of Chase Investment Counsel recommends shares of companies with a history of limited trading volatility, but also steady growth, like Kraft, Abbott Laboratories ABT 0.41 % and Colgate-Palmolive. CL -0.10 %
The key with portfolio rebalancing, he says, is to avoid replacing an overly risky portfolio with an overly defensive one. As the risk rally has amply demonstrated, after all, too much caution is a risk in itself.

iPhone 4S Hotspot vs. MiFi Hotspot
I use a MiFi as a mobile hotspot. Costs $50 a month for 5G of data. I use it a lot while on the road, but hardly ever when at home.
I found out my new 4S has hotspot capabilities and since my phone plan is unlimited data, does it make sense to cancel the MiFi and just use my iPhone as a hotspot? Or are there benefits to the MiFi over the hotspot?
|Apr 11, 2012, 02:00 PM
The main benefit to having a separate hotspot is that it uses its own 5GB pool of data, whereas with a hotspot, you're sharing your data with your phone and any devices you connect with it. That, and with a MiFi, you don't need to have your phone in close proximity to your other devices for it to work.
On AT&T, there is a slight limitation that they place on the hotspot, in the number of devices you can connect to it wirelessly. Even though the iPhone 4/4S can support up to 5 other devices over WiFi (and does so when on Verizon), AT&T for some reason limits you to 3. Though, you CAN hook up a laptop over a USB sync cable and share data that way, or you could pair a device using Bluetooth, and those two won't count against your 3. You do also get an added side benefit that your iPhone will charge over the USB sync cable while keeping your laptop connected to the internet.
Lastly, if you have unlimited data and want to keep it on your iPhone, then you'll want to stick to your MiFi.
I had unlimited data and a MiFi on a separate line, but even with the above caveats, I gave it up in favor of the 4GB personal hotspot plan with with my iPhone 4 (and now, my 4S). Why? I used the MiFi, but not enough that it made sense to keep paying for two separate data plans. Not to mention it's one less device to worry about losing or breaking, and since I always have my phone with me, I'm way more likely to have it for sharing my connection when I need it. it works great for tethering both my MacBook Pro, and my WiFi iPad when I'm traveling. And it saves me about $35 a month over having the separate data plans for my phone and the MiFi.
In my experience, the 4S hotspot is pretty fast, at least as fast as the MiFi was. Your battery does get used up a lot faster, but, if you tether a laptop via USB like I mentioned before, that isn't a problem.
You should be concerned about privacy, even if you have "nothing to hide."
|Apr 11, 2012, 03:19 PM
Sounds like I should give up the MiFi since I only use it a couple months out of the year. But I don't understand this statement:
"Lastly, if you have unlimited data and want to keep it on your iPhone, then you'll want to stick to your MiFi."
Why will I give up my unlimited data plan by using the iPhone as a hotspot?
|Apr 11, 2012, 03:32 PM
What I do is have a tablet on Verizon's network. Not only do you get to use the tablet (iPad or android) it includes tethering. So I get a lot of use out of it.
|Apr 11, 2012, 03:33 PM
|Apr 11, 2012, 03:48 PM
Just found out the tethering plan would be $45.
The MiFi is $50 a month. So i guess I'll keep the Mifi

The Apple Product

I carry a Verizon 4G LTE mifi with me everywhere I go, and the thing i like about it is the battery life seems to be better since it is separate from the phone. Since I have an AT&T iPhone, it's nice to connect to the 4G LTE mifi when AT&T 3G isn't good in a location... or I just use my AT&T iPhone when there isn't Verizon 4G LTE coverage or Verizon 3G is to slow. It's nice having a mifi hotspot handy... and even nicer if you have more than one carrier as on option when coverage is bad for a given location.
|Apr 11, 2012, 06:17 PM
Right now you're paying $80/month for data. $30/month for unlimited iPhone data, and then $50/month for 5GB of MiFi data.
The $50/mo iPhone tethering plan would give you 5GB of iPhone data that can be shared tethering (by using your iPhone 4s as a Hotspot).
Also, unless they just changed and nobody said anything about it, AT&T prorates plans if you change mid-billing period, so if you're not going to be needing tethering for awhile, switch to the $30/mo 3GB iPhone data (no tethering) plan. When you need tethering again, switch back to the $50/mo 5GB iPhone data (with tethering) plan.
The "lose" here is that you'd lose your grandfathered unlimited iPhone data plan. Once you switch away from that plan, there's no switching back. But you'd have the potential to save $30-$50/month... You have to look at your data usage and see if it's worth it for you.
|Apr 12, 2012, 07:27 AM
A question here, if I get an unlocked MiFi, would I be able to use it with at&t without contract?
|Apr 12, 2012, 09:29 AM
Don't give up your unlimited data!

I thought that AT&T unlimited was really only a 3gb plan anyway with the throttling threshold they have set for it? If that's the case then it looks like your best deal is going to be to drop the "limited" unlimited plan and the MiFi and get the 5gb tethering plan for your iphone. As someone pointed out above, you'll save $30/month by doing that.
I have an unlimited VZW plan for my IP4 and needed a hotspot on a recent family trip. I just logged into myverizon, chose the $20/2gb tethering plan and added it. It kept track of the data separately from my regular 3G usage. When I returned from the trip I logged back on to myverizon, removed the tethering plan, still kept my unlimited data and they pro-rated the tethering plan so I only paid for the portion of the month that I had it. I'm holding on to my unlimited only so that I have it with LTE when the next iphone is released. VZW throttles 3G unlimited at around 2Ggb, but does not, and supposedly will not (or cannot), throttle LTE.

Re: iPhone 4S Hotspot vs. MiFi Hotspot
Also, it's nice to have a MiFi if you need to be on a call and accessing data. I find that the iPhone data rate slows way down when I am on a phone call. For things like WebEx meetings where I want to be on the computer, it is nice to have the MiFi for the computer & dedicate the iPhone to the phone call.
|Apr 12, 2012, 04:35 PM
you can also use mifi (if your device supports) 4g.
your 4s will only be 3g hspa+
|Apr 12, 2012, 06:13 PM
I'm actually having this question right now. I have Unlimited Data on my iPhone, I have a Verizon MiFi and I actually own but don't use an AT&T MiFi. I don't use my MiFi much either, so spending the $28 for 3GB on Verizon is a lot. Although, I am having trouble getting rid of THAT because it is such a great deal. I like the convenience of the separate MiFi, but it sure is hard to pay for it when you don't use it.

To help you meet your goals, I have posted new training plans for cyclists. They are easy to find on my training plan main page because they begin with "New 2010". Read the plan descriptions to see if any of the plans can help you meet your goals.
Though I am most widely known for my popular ready-to-use triathlon plans and accomplishments in the sport of triathlon, my Olympic beginning was coaching a cyclist onto the 2000 Olympic road race team. In the past several years, I have had success coaching mountain bike racers to personal best performances at the Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race. This success includes getting myself from a 12:59:55 finish, narrowly beating the cut-off time by 5 seconds and attaining the "Last Ass Over the Pass" trophy, to first in my category for two years and 10th overall female in 2009 (time of 10:08:05).
Athletes looking for an economical way to successfully meet their training and racing goals in the next year, now have a new resource. I will load more plans in the near future.
You can also find a large library of columns to help self-coached athletes on my website.
Hard-copy of these training plans and other training plans are available in the book, Training Plans for Cyclists

Have been admiring the amazing work of Linran these past few days, and decided to give the method he details HERE a go. Went scouring through the 'paint from what does everyone look like?' thread in the lounge, and found this image from the lovely AmyRainbow and figured it would make a good guinea pig image!
Really like the effect building up from the shadows gives, though I still use the eyedropper too much for convenience, but was starting to get to grips with the rgb slider by the end. Also need to work on the directional strokes I put down first, I think, as I only have to work harder later to get the form to read properly. Added an anim gif to save on posting tonnes of wip images!

Manama Souq
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Manama Souq (Arabic: سوق المنامة) is the old bazaar (souq) of Bahrain's capital, Manama.[1][2]
The Souq lies in the north of Manama, in-between the old parts of the city and the Central Business District, to the east of Noaim and west of Ras Rumman. The main entrance is the historic Bab Al Bahrain building. The area also is home to Bahrain's only synagogue.
Surrounding quarters[edit]
Manama Souq neighbours a series of mainly residential quarters, including:

Early Childhood Development: As Latin America/Caribbean Countries Invest, Does Quality Follow?
The stimuli that children are exposed to from the beginning of life to age 5 have the greatest impact on development, and they define the health, personality and intellectual capacity of each child. This is why it is crucial to invest early and well in child development. Countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are investing more and more in early child development, but what do we know about these initiatives?

Lindora Medical ClinicRead MoreStarted as a single Newport Beach clinic in 1971, Lindora was the brainchild of Dr. Marshall Stamper, who was motivated by the unfortunate loss of his mother due to weight-related complications. Now, more than 40 years later, Lindora's weight-loss programs continue to bestow humanoids with a plethora of personalized nutrition plans and private one-on-one health consultations. At more than 40 Southern California locations, medically trained teams of health-care professionals guide patients through lab work, health assessments, and exams to discern the most efficient trajectory into better health. Patients receive encouragement to adjust their lifestyle and behavior, and bellies stay buoyed by nutrition support and menu plans that spotlight fresh, balanced meals. Long-term weight maintenance is the goal of the clinic's medically-based programs, which means patients needn't worry about extra pounds boomeranging back into their lives like a persistent pet chinchilla. Check the FAQs page here for more information about Lindora's approach to weight loss.2155 E Garvey Ave NWest Covina, CA US

Painless procedure measures breathing
On Saturday, Aug. 4, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Angel Medical Center, along with all of Mission Health System, will be participating in the World Spirometry Day for the community. A Spirometry test shows how well you breathe and can help in the diagnosis of different lung diseases.
The test, itself, is painless and usually will take less than 10 minutes. It does require taking in a very deep breath and some hard blowing. The device you breathe into is called a spirometer, which measures the amount of air in your lungs and how fast you breathe out.

A benefit run to help nonprofit groups serving challenged children start a camp in the Santa Clarita Valley will be held at 9 a.m. Saturday, November 20 at Mann Biomedical Park. Registration opens at 8 a.m. for the morning full of fun.
The first-eve Turkey Trot "Trotting for Awareness" 4 kilometer run will include live entertainment, carnival games and family-oriented fun benefiting Project Kindle, formerly known as Camp Kindle, which has been providing cost free services to children, adolescents, and families since 1999.

Project Kindle has embarked on a campaign to construct a world-class, fully accessible green camp that will be made available to nonprofit organizations serving special needs campers. A preliminary site search found that the Santa Clarita Valley would be the ideal location for such a camp and organizers are seeking a 40-acre parcel.
Registration for the fun run is available online here. The cost before Nov. 15 is $10 per person or $35 per family of four or more members. After Monday and up to day of the event registration is $15 per person or $40 per family. Registration includes a T-shirt (for the first 200 participants) and park entrance.
Project Kindle, a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, which primarily serves those infected with and affected by HIV/AIDS, began as a weeklong summer camp known as Camp Kindle. Over the last few years, the organization has expanded its services to offer multiple camping sessions and year round support, a peer led speakers bureau, a continued education scholarship fund, and HIV/AIDS education and outreach.
Today Project Kindle touches the lives of over 15,000 children, young adults and families each year. These services currently reach young people all across the country and internationally as well.
Project Kindle, formerly known as Camp Kindle, was established in August of 1998. Santa Clarita resident Eva Payne, the Founder and Executive Director, saw a need and decided to fill it. There were very few programs being offered for youth infected or affected by HIV or AIDS, especially in the Midwest. The organization began by serving children and adolescents through a cost free, one-week summer camping session held in Nebraska for children in the Central U.S. Camp Kindle continues to offer this therapeutic, recreational and educational session annually. In 2005, Camp Kindle expanded to another location in Southern California serving youth who live in the Western U.S. Each week long session serves up to 100 young people every summer.
In 2004, the organization began its peer-to-peer speakers' bureau known as SPEAK OUT. This program was developed out of the desires of the Camp Kindle's participants to share their stories with the general public, especially other young people in hopes to reduce stigma and raise awareness. Today SPEAK OUT reaches thousands of students both in the United States and Internationally.
The Students Affected by AIDS Scholarship Fund was created to support young people impacted by HIV or AIDS who wanted to attend post high school education. The scholarship helps to cover books and tuition.
The "I know" initiative completed its first phase in 2008 with the completion of the 'i know' book and DVD. The book is a compellation of Camp Kindle participants' stories, photos, and drawings. The DVD focuses on one camper's story as he tells it during a week of camp. This free resource is made available to health educators and students around the world.
Today the organization now provides two week-long summer camping programs, semi-annual mini camping sessions, year round support, holiday and birthday recognition, scholarships, HIV/AIDS awareness / education, and mentorship. The AIDS epidemic has affected the lives of more than one million people within the United States. There are over 40,000 new infections every year, half of which occur in people 25 years old and younger (CDC, 2007). Also, according to current statistics, two young people are infected with HIV/AIDS every hour.
Eva Payne founded the organization because of the many needs associated with HIV/AIDS infection. She now oversees all programming for the organization and serves as the Executive Director. She works closely with employees, a committed volunteer staff, Board of Directors, and a Parent Advisory Board to provide programs that meet the ever-growing needs of those infected with or affected by HIV/AIDS. All of the programs that Project Kindle offers are cost free to all of the participants.

With luck on its side, Adamson slips past National U
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Even its head coach admitted, Adamson had luck on its side in its 68-66 victory over National University Saturday in the UAAP season 76 men's basketball tournament at the Mall of Asia Arena.
With the Falcons holding on to a precarious two-point edge with 14.4 seconds left, shooter Roider Cabrera muffed two pressure-packed freethrows that kept the door ajar for the Bulldogs.
NU found a wide-open Robin Roño in the right corner for the final shot, ready to unleash a game-winning triple — but ultimately missed which paved way for Adamson's their third victory.
"We're fortunate that we were able to pull off a win. We had luck. Thank God Roño missed that shot, or else our efforts would be for nothing," said a relieved Leo Austria.
But they didn't depend on luck to get the lead back in the last 3:36 of the game, as the Falcons went on an 8-0 run to give them a 68-63 lead.
Guard Jericho Cruz had back-to-back buckets in that stretch to cap his second half explosion. He finished with a game-best 18 points.
Rodney Brondial also soared high on defense, swatting away attempts, with impeccable timing, from Ray Parks, Jelo Alolino and Jeff Javillonar in the last two minutes.
The Bulldogs, though, still managed to pull within a basket away of victory after Ray Parks' and-one play with 15.5 seconds left – before missing on the the most important shot.
NU dropped to under .500 in the standings, tying with University of the East with a 3-3 record. Adamson, meanwhile, improved to 3-2.
Cameroonian center Ingrid Sewa continued to struggle for Adamson, bother by his shoulder, and just had six points but with 13 boards.
Brondial, despite struggling offensively on 2-of-8 shooting, still had tremendous impact on the other side with six blocks.
"I'm happy. We were organized today unlike. I don't know what happened to us against Ateneo but today everybody was focused to win," also said Austria.
Cruz came out firing after the half as he poured most of his points in the third quarter, where the Falcons managed to halt NU's press before it causes them more trouble.
But the Bulldogs still led 61-57 in the fourth on basket from Emmanuel Mbe, but went without a field goal for the next six minutes before Parks' basket.

Fixed maturity plans offer higher post-tax returns vis-à-vis bank deposits
Our Bureau
Comparative figures
For one-yearFD rate of 8 per cent, banks will yield roughly 5.35 per cent post-tax.
But aFMP of a similar duration, at 8.1 per cent yield, will deliver almost 7.2 per cent post-tax.
Kolkata, Aug. 24
In keeping with past trends, the universe of fixed maturity plans (FMPs) launched by mutual funds has continued to expand, thanks to investors who are increasingly seeing merit in these allocations. The trend is prompting distributors to expect higher mobilisations for FMPs in the coming days.
The inclination to invest in FMPs is being seen in the backdrop of higher returns offered by these plans vis-à-vis what is provided by bank deposits. Considering the post-tax returns offered by both, the former seems to be more attractive, fund distribution circles pointed out.
Mata Securities, an intermediary that has examined the recent growth in the FMP segment, is of the view that the trend witnessed over the past few months may well continue.
Mr Sameer Kamdar, National Head - MFs, feels that it is not without reason that retail investors (not excluding high net worth individuals) are more active on the FMP front these days than before.
"This trend is due to the high rate offered in FMPs, which on a post-tax basis would outdo bank FDs," he noted, while referring to the one-year FD rate of 8 per cent. The latter will yield roughly 5.35 per cent post-tax. In comparison, an FMP of a similar duration, at 8.1 per cent yield, will deliver almost 7.2 per cent post-tax. This has encouraged fund houses to launch one-year FMPs.
As figures worked out by Mata reveal, FMPs have grown from Rs 15,470 crore in December last year to about Rs 28,500 crore in July 2006.
Considering individual fund houses, the growth is quite significant in a few cases. These include HSBC MF, Kotak Mahindra MF and Sundaram MF. Others such as HDFC MF and ABN AMRO MF started from scratch to reach where they are today.
SKP Securities, another fund distributor, also provides examples of indicative yields. A recent ABN AMRO MF's 366-days plan, which closed some days ago, had an 8 per cent indicative yield (net). Incidentally, a Prudential ICICI MF's 400-days plan (with a high minimum investment) has an 8.1 per cent indicative yield.

Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has stepped up its drive against tuberculosis (TB), calling for widespread awareness and new drug discovery to contain the spread of the disease in the metropolis.
"Modern techniques and proper treatment can stop the advancement of tuberculosis. The need of hour is to create strong awareness about the disease, its causative factors and ensure complete and free treatment and services at Government hospitals," Additional Municipal Commissioner (Health) Sanjay Deshmukh told reporters on the sidelines of a workshop here.
The training workshop on TB was organised by BMC along with Global Health Strategies to highlight the critical challenges in TB control.
Mumbai has created a 'Mumbai Mission for TB Control Programme' which addresses tuberculosis-related issues aggressively. The financial capital has about 30,000-plus cases of drug sensitive TB and 6,000 plus of drug-resistant TB, an air-borne disease transmitted through fine respiratory droplets from an infected person.
This vicious cycle of transmission and acquisition of infection can be curtailed if there is awakening in the health care provider and patients. The media can play a pivotal role for the same, former BMC Executive Health Officer Arun Bamne said.
Deshmukh said BMC is committed to ensure that all primary health care services are given to TB patients. "We at Mumbai are going all the way, proactively to provide services not only to curtail the diseases and death due to tuberculosis but to prevent the further transmission of TB in Mumbai." Amita Athavle, a doctor, called for new drug discovery and more research for effective cure of TB.

I have made many stupid mistakes in my life, as I'm sure all of you have. One of mine was the decision to sell my festive weapons at the very beginning of last year's winter. If you look at the prices of festive weapons now, you'll see that some stranges are worth BUDS. That's right, freaking 26-key buds. If I had kept my strange festive minigun, I could have gotten 20 keys now. If I'd kept my festive sniper rifle, I could've gotten 22 keys. TF2 trading really frustrates me.

Working on 33 year old Kenmore stove (Harvest Gold color bought in 1977). Have replaced the element every 12 to 14 years, last in 1997. 3-5 FedEx delivery took only 1 day. I verified Selector dial and Temperature dial both set to off. I took out the 2 oven shelves and took off the oven door for easier access to back of oven. Open oven door slightly to 1st catch, slightly lift and pull door away from the oven to clear the 2 side hinges from the openings. I used 1/4 inch socket with ratchet to remove 1 screw on each side holding element to back wall of oven. Gently pulled element out and up slightly so connectors come through openings in back wall. 1 connector came out from wall 4 inches, the other just barely. I used needle nose pliers to pull connector off element with 4 inches of wire. The connector did not come off easily, it took some wiggling of the connector (not too hard because it is brittle). I pulled connector off element barely out from the wall and held the connector in the pliers (did not let go). Put old element on kitchen floor and put new element on oven floor. Attached connector wire to end of element so it didn't slip through back wall. Attached connector wire to other end of element. Lifted element slightly to push through back wall openings. Used 1/4 inch socket to re-attached both screws. I put oven door back on (reverse of taking off). I set Selector to Bake and Temperature to 300. I watched element heat up (nice solid color along entire length) and reach 300 temperature and cycle off. I opened oven door to force the thermostat to kick in the cycle again. I closed oven door to watch the element again. When the heating cycle finished, I turned the Selector & Temperature to off. When oven cooled off, I put the shelves in again.

A perfect party hors d'oeuvre or accompaniment to soup or the Bibb Lettuce, Avocado, and Dried Cranberry Salad.
Leave a Review
This was the most simple recipe to prepare & everyone will love them. My brunch guests raved & everyone wanted the recipe. I served it with a homemade cranberry relish. Delicious!
Just wonderful! Tried them as recipe dictates but will try some of the other additions, mentioned by others, in future attempts. KIMBER
Loved this recipe! Very easy. I did two batches, one as written and the second with chopped up dried cranberries and chopped walnuts. Served it on a platter with fresh strawberries. They were all quickly devoured.
I made this for a dinner party and it was unbelievable. They were all gone. I garnished it with cherry tomato halves and parsley and it looked fabulous.
Yummy!These were a big hit....will definitely make again.
I served these twice in three days (different guests) and all raved about them! Obviously easy and definitely wonderful taste.
Yum! I added a handful of dried cranberries and some chopped pecans, which I realize makes it a slightly different recipe, but it was terrific!
These were okay. If I were to make them again I would use less butter. The recipe seemed very greasy. While these were easy to whip up, once they started cooling off they congealed and lost their "charm".
I love blue cheese, so these blue cheese toasts were a delicious treat for me. They team up perfectly with the bibb lettuce, alvocado, & cranberry salad or with many other salads.
Easy, easy, yummy, yummy. Fantastic with the Bibb Lettuce, Avocado, Cranberry Salad!

The truffles are boxed, wrapped and bagged; they are transported to the reporter's home, where another chocolate junkie waits after a particularly vexing day of career, kids and house. And some time in between getting them in the front door and taking a picture of them for the reporter's article, one of them disappears. The good stuff never lasts too long.
