Japan Climate Proposal Worries ActivistsDecember 5th, 2007 By CHARLES J. HANLEY, AP Special Correspondent in Earth / Environment
Environmental activists stage a demonstration outside the venue of the U.N. climate change conference in Nusa Dua on Bali island, Indonesia, Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2007. Delegates from 190 nations assembled on the resort island for the annual climate meeting which is focused chiefly on launching a two-year negotiating process to seal a deal to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which expires in 2012. (AP Photo/Firdia Lisnawati)
(AP) -- In an opening gambit, Japan has proposed that the Bali climate conference pursue a broad "least common denominator" approach to negotiating new controls on global-warming gases. Environmentalists couldn't think less of it.

I haven't seen or heard of these utils. Checking them out is something that I
will do. And yea, I have another box on which I can play around with, download
stuff, and make boot disks. But I am just trying to get those stupid disks
read and formatted.

LBNL-Earth Sciences Division's Climate Science Department is involved in a wide variety of measurements projects, including eddy covariance measurements, tower and aircraft observations, and high-precision concentration and isotopic measurements of CO2, CH4, CO, 13C, and 18O. These observations are combined with transport and simulation models to improve our capabilities in soil and plant analyses, land-surface modeling, and regional atmospheric budgets.
We use eddy covariance flux systems to characterize C, water, and energy fluxes, as well as to perform experiments to elucidate effects of management on ecosystem carbon and energy exchanges with the atmosphere.
The LBNL-ARM carbon project has two portable eddy flux towers deployed in fields being converted to switchgrass and three permanent flux systems at the ARM central facility at 4m, 25m, and 60m.
We have developed a comprehensive suite of greenhouse gas measurements gathered from tower and aircraft platforms. Data is submitted to the ARM, NOA, AmeriFlux, and Fluxnet Archives.
Carbon cycle data streams generated by the LBNL ARM Carbon Project. All data are archived regularly and publicly available. In the past two years (to May 1, 2009), more than 120 scientists have downloaded our data from the ARM archives and 2,000 from AmeriFlux. CF = Central Facility.

Our research approach applies a combination of field and laboratory experiments to investigate soil carbon cycling and storage. Facilities are available for density fractionation and chemical analysis of whole soils and specialized laboratory equipment to support our advanced analytical techniques – pH meter, shaker table, wrist action shaker, sonifier and bench top mixer, floor-mounted centrifuge, high-precision centrifuge with temperature control, chemical fume hoods, and analytical balances.
We are able to perform high precision concentration measurements of CO2, CH4, CO, 13C, and 18O. Facilities are available for density fractionation and chemical analysis of whole soils. Available laboratory equipment includes analytical balances, DI water dispenser, pH meter, shaker table, wrist action shaker, sonifier and bench top mixer, a floor-mounted centrifuge with four-place swinging bucket rotor and a high-precision centrifuge with temperature control equipped with a four-place swinging bucket rotor and a 24-place fixed angle (25º) rotor, chemical fume hoods, magnetic stirrer/hotplates, and chemical storage and sample preparation areas.
Vacuum lines are designed to separate complex gas mixtures (e.g., whole air samples) and extraction of water from plant and soil material for isotopic analyses. Instruments include a muffle furnace used for combustion of solid phase samples, a roller mill and SPEX-Certiprep 8000M mixer mill for homogenizing sample material, a stereo-microscope, three drying ovens, a freeze dryer, refrigerators and freezers, and an ultramicrobalance. We have an LI-6400 portable infra-red gas analyzer for photosynthesis and respiration and a system for measuring 13CO2 in soil respiration.
CO2, water, and energy fluxes in SGP are spatially heterogeneous and show strong interannual and seasonal variability. The relationships of these variations to climate, land-cover type, and vegetation status are complex, yet critical for estimating regional C budgets, surface forcing for SCMs, and as priors and tests for regional and global climate models. We are engaged in several model development tasks and have an array of applications for our models and ACRF observations such as exploring drought signals (including 18O and 13C as tracers of land-surface exchanges); producing forcing fields for cloud experiments at SGP and improving land-surface forcing in SCMs; and investigating PBL dynamics.
Using both bottom-up (distributed ecosystem models) and top-down (based on atmospheric measurements) approaches, regional-scale surface fluxes are estimated and then used to test our land-surface model output against our site-level eddy covariance data. These results are incorporated into NACP synthesis products and land-surface forcing for Single Column Models (SCMs) and GCMs. The results of our regional estimates for surface energy budgets are submitted for SCM modeling analyses. We are moving our stable isotope modules, plant physiology, and climate forcing inputs to the CLM framework, which we have coupled to the mesoscale climate model WRF. The coupled CLM-WRF model is used to explore the role of climate variability (e.g., droughts, cloud properties, radiation regime) on surface exchanges and the atmospheric 18O and 13C signal of regional-scale ecosystem water stress.
To perform regional modeling experiments, we have developed (and made available on the ARM archive) 10 km climate and vegetation forcing data derived from the >120 Mesonet and EF stations, NEXRAD precipitation measurements, and satellite data. Using this forcing data and our distributed model, we have characterized the impact of model resolution on estimates of carbon sources and sinks, as well as on LH and SH (Riley et al., 2009). Predicting net ecosystem CO2 fluxes requires characterization of the land surface at very high resolution, while latent and sensible heat-flux predictions are more robust across model spatial resolution.

The Recruitment
When they are recruited in Mexico, Guatemala or other countries, H-2B forestry workers typically have to pay large amounts of money in order to obtain jobs. Typically, workers arrive in debt from $500 to $5000. They often pay interest rates on that debt of 20% per month. Many workers are required to leave collateral in their home country to ensure they will comply with the terms of their contracts in the U.S.
"It costs us money to come to the States every year. We would arrive in the States in debt. What I earned planting trees in the States was hardly enough to pay my debt. It was really hard for us to fight to get to the States legally and then not earn any money. We were told we had to leave our deeds to get the job. On a blank paper we had to sign our names and hand over our deeds. They said that if we didn't sign this paper they wouldn't bring us to the States to work. We suffered when we came here. We suffered a lot. The company always treated us poorly, from beginning to end."
Alvaro Hernandez-Lopez, H-2B forestry worker
"Sometimes I was very worried because, before I came to the U.S., the labor contractors who hired me required my wife to report to an office near my home. The contractors said that if I was going to work for Eller & Sons, my wife would have to sign a document that stated that if I broke my contract, my wife would be held responsible in Guatemala. I didn't understand exactly what this threat meant, but knew that my wife would have to sign if I was going to get the visa. The work was very hard, but I worried about leaving because my wife signed this form to get me the job and I worried about her."
Nelson Ramirez, H-2B forestry worker
"Every time I traveled to the United States to work [in tree planting], I paid about $2,000 in expenses related to my trip. I was never reimbursed for this money."
Hugo Martin Recinos-Recinos, H-2B forestry worker

For those that went both weekend this year, which weekend did you prefer? Weekend 1 vs. Weekend 2? Why?
Weekend 1
Weekend 2
Equally the same
For those that went both weekend this year, which weekend did you prefer? Weekend 1 vs. Weekend 2? Why?
I preferred the crowds weekend 2, so that gets my vote.
I enjoyed weekend two more last year as well
Upcoming shows

I honestly think weekend 2 will continue to be the choice throughout the years. Not only is the weather better, but also all issues with the sound are fixed and the bands are more comfortable.
COACHELLA- 99, 01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12 (wk 1 & 2), 13 (wk 1 &2), 14 (wk 1 & 2)
I didn't think think I was going to notice a difference between the crowds each weekend. Statistically speaking, you only encounter a small sample of the crowd each weekend, but lo and behold the number of assholes during weekend 1 were in large enough numbers to make me notice a difference between weekends.
white power?!
Weekend 2 won. The dates are more true to Coachellas past and the weather's been more familiar and stable. Still gotta go to both.
I liked the crowd much better weekend 2, but I enjoyed weekend 1 more over all. partly because we camped with a big group weekend 1, but I thought the sets I went to were better weekend 1, too.
I preferred Weekend 1 because there were more surprises, although the weather was better for Weekend 2 this year (and last).

For the modern generation (including me!), Independence is playing on our PSPs, it is watching MTV till ten' o clock without our parents shouting their heads off, it is…indeed, the list is long. Of course, when teachers tell us to write the meaning of independence, which they have selected to give to us as a word that is a part of the words and meanings, we obviously wont write MTV, PSP, iPods, or Badminton. We would go by the meaning given in the dictionary—"free from the control or influence of others".
Now the question arises, are we really independent? You would say, "Sure we are. We gained independence about sixty years ago, in 1947. Hello, good morning! Where have you been?"
I would call that a mini history lecture from the mouth of a student. Well then, expect my answer to be: "Each of you is wrong. We have freed ourselves from the British but we have not, mind you, have not been able to free ourselves from something that is worse (according to my books) than the British." You may all be curious and ask, "What?"
The correct answer to that is corruption or, as we say in Hindi, Bhrashtachar. We Indians are not even trying to fight back but instead we are enjoying its benefits. Sorry, did I say benefits? I meant various methods of cheating. One day when my mother sent me to buy vegetables, I noticed that the vegetable vendor had secretly put a 500 gram weight in the veggie basket that I was about to take my carrots and cucumbers in. The more the weight, the more the money. Now what do we call that? Isn't that cheating good people? This not only the case with dishonest vegetable vendors but with ministers who are supposed to be taking care of us. Who eats up all the public's money and fills it into their own pockets? The ministers, of course! Who intentionally increase the price rates for almost everything in our country? The ministers, of course! Even people who, according to their professions, are supposed to do good for mankind have taken up dishonest practices. Doctors, for example, have started to settle in urban areas rather than in the rural areas where people really them. Doctors also prescribe patients (both rich and poor) branded and costly medicines even if they know that some low cost medicine will do the job equally well.
Why has our country become like this? We need to join hands and fight back. Corruption is a serious problem, but if we work together we can overcome it. Then only can we realize the true meaning of freedom. For me, as I am writing this, freedom means being able to take the right decisions at the right time. For me, freedom is living my life my life as I want to live it, but at the same time keeping up my parent's name. Freedom for me is eating, playing, sleeping, loving, dressing up the way I want to, basically just being me, and of course, PSPs and MTV!

Lavender & Garlic in the Village Festival
Join us this year on Saturday, July 11, 2015, from 7:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
The event last year was part of the Los Ranchos Growers' Market and was a huge success!
The Los Ranchos Growers' Market hosts the Lavender and Garlic Celebration with extended hours from 7:00 A.M. until 1:00 P.M. at 6718 Rio Grande Blvd NW. Last year's event was much smaller in size as compared to previous years and was not held at the Los Ranchos Agri-Nature Center. The Lavender Festival has undergone some changes over the years. Since the Lavender in the Village Board of Directors has announced that it will no longer produce the annual festival, the Growers' Market will sponsor a Lavender and Garlic Celebration, similar to what the market did in 2011, when the festival took a sabbatical. This year, vendors will have fresh cut lavender bouquets, special lavender products, lavender plants, various types of garlic, and special products featuring garlic. Classes and demonstrations will include cooking with lavender and garlic; growing lavender; growing and harvesting garlic; using lavender, as well as lavender wand demonstrations. There is no Village-wide celebration this year.
The market features fresh cut lavender bouquets, lavender plants, companion plants, special lavender products, various types of garlic, and special products featuring garlic.
- 4-H students had a booth with face painting and tattoos, and sold watermelon!
Last year, the Ask the Expert Tent featured the following:
- 7:45 – 8:15 am: Cooking with Lavender & Garlic (Savory) – Mia Maes
- 8:30 – 9:00 am: Growing Lavender & Companion Plants – Jennifer Timms-Hobson, Jericho
- 9:15 – 10:15 am: Using Lavender/ Lavender Wand demo /garlic braiding demo – Monica Canaris
- 10:30 – 11:00 am: Growing Garlic – Ray Arrowsmith
- 11:15 – 11:45: Cooking with Lavender (Sweets) – Troy Lapsys, Joliesse Chocolates
- 12:00 – 12:30 pm: Cooking with Lavender & Garlic (Savory) – Mia Maes
Some of the vendor specials included lavender and garlic as well as various purple veggies:
- Nancy's Jams and Jellies: 4 types of lavender/fruit jams (strawberry, blueberry, apricot and peach)
- Green Growler Smoothies: Blueberry/Lemon/Lavender Smoothies
- Old Windmill Dairy: lavender lemon chèvre, sage/thyme/garlic chèvre

Lavender represents not only a plant and fragrance but, more importantly, it represents a "lifestyle". This lifestyle is one of peace and serenity in a semi-rural, agricultural setting. It is one that most city dwellers can only dream of and visit on occasion. Our Lavender Festival gives the city dwellers a chance to get out of the city and decompress. Lavender, as well as our festival, represents romance and intrigue much like the name Los Ranchos de Albuquerque. The ditches are flowing, fields are greening up, alfalfa is being cut, and fruits and vegetables are growing. Visitors are treated to a vibrant display of rural and agricultural heritage.
The mission of the Lavender in the Village of Los Ranchos de Albuquerque is to preserve and enhance Los Ranchos public open space, stimulate an interest in sustainable agriculture, with an emphasis on educating the public, including such matters as historic agriculture, lavender and its uses, and fostering community spirit.

I have four or five pairs of boots, all pretty similar in style. However, after walking in a particular pair for about half a kilometre, my socks have worked their way down to the toes. I have to keep stopping to pull them up. What's up with these boots?
• The process of walking involves friction between a living surface - the skin - and a covering surface - the shoe, boot or slipper. Between the two is a flexible thin layer of knitted or woven wool - the sock. The shape of the foot and its relation to the shape of the shoe will determine the degree of friction between the two and the extent to which the sock moves in relation to one or the other. Mode of walking is another factor.
High-friction living surfaces - sweaty feet, for example - will tend to adhere to the flexible ...

I've owned this tan, cotton Old Navy jacket for a few years now, and it's been a dependable and sturdy companion to wear with jeans, shorts or flowy summer dresses. It wasn't until recently that I had another light bulb moment in thinking that I could make this jacket more current by adding a splash of bright color, and below are my results! I was quite pleased with them. More pics on my Instagram... you can follow me if you feel so inclined, and the process I followed to dye my jacket with Rit dye is HERE (I did the washing machine method)

I think you did a great job. Your jacket is awesome and since it's already spring, wearing bright color is a fun way and the best way to brighten up any outfit.ReplyDelete
Wow! What a great way to freshen up an item and make it seem brand-new. This goes hand-in-hand with shopping in your own closet. I love it! It's fun, it's funky, and you look great in it. Nice job.ReplyDelete
Such a lovely jacket its so simple and elegant.ReplyDelete

Jersey Shore
Say What?! Deena Nicole and Her Boyfriend Chris "Tied the Knot" (PHOTO)
Um no, we didn't just spill our coffee all over our desk and call our moms after Deena Nicole tweeted that she and her boyfriend tied the knot. Can't fool us, girlfriend!
Fine, maybe we were fooled for a second. The Jersey Shore "good time" posted this photo (above) on Twitter and wrote, "Omg me n chris just tied the knot .. The @djais knot that is! Check out the ring."
While it looks like the ring is just from a Belmar DJ event, we can't help but wonder if Deena and her longtime boyfriend Chris are actually considering taking the leap soon. You know what they say, when one meatball (Snooki) gets pregnant and engaged, the other meatball is bound to follow.
OK, so no one actually says that, but regardless, we're officially on ring watch for this guido/guidette pair!
Catch the premiere of Snooki and JWOWW's new spin-off on Thursday, June 21 on MTV.

Press Release
July 26, 2011
Ohio Partnership for Excellence to Expand Programs
to Indiana & West Virginia
COLUMBUS, OH - The Ohio Partnership for Excellence
(OPE) is now approved to offer its Baldrige-based
programs to organizations in Indiana and West Virginia.
The Alliance for Performance Excellence approved
the expansion after a nation-wide competitive process
that included proposals from a number of states.
The Alliance is a non-profit network of national,
state and local Baldrige-based award programs, associated
with the American Society for Quality and the U.S.
Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards
& Technology that administers the Malcolm Baldrige
National Quality Award.
OPE is Ohio's Baldrige-based award program that
administers and presents the Ohio Awards for Excellence,
including the Governor's Award for Excellence. OPE
partners with organizations using the internationally-recognized
Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence. OPE's
primary product is a comprehensive organizational
assessment that helps leaders better understand
and prioritize key strengths and opportunities for
improvement. While the assessment lays the foundation,
OPE's main focus is on organizational learning,
resource optimization and continuous improvement.
Under the visionary leadership of OPE's Board Chairman
Frank Pérez, former President & CEO of
the Kettering Health Network in Dayton and Paul
Worstell, former President of PRO-TEC Coating Company
in Leipsic, OPE has worked tirelessly to develop
a strategy which will give Indiana and West Virginia
organizations the same great opportunities OPE has
afforded Ohioans for more than a decade. With this
decision, OPE will grow into a regionalized program
throughout all three states.
The mission of OPE is to cultivate performance
excellence and continuous improvement among
business, education, government, healthcare
and non-profit organizations. By providing a
framework for performance excellence through
the Baldrige Criteria, organizations have a
greater focus on customers, process management,
work systems and organization-wide results.
These organizations typically see lower costs,
improved productivity and rises in both employee
and customer satisfaction.
This year's OPE Award recipients will be honored
at the annual Quest for Success Conference -
"Harvesting Excellence" to be held
on September 19-20 at Cherry Valley Lodge, Newark,
Ohio. The two-day conference will feature four
of the seven 2010 Malcolm Baldrige National
Quality Award recipients and will provide numerous
opportunities to learn about role-model performance
management practices, share great ideas with
colleagues, and benchmark world-class results.

DALLAS (AP) — Texas voters made Ted Cruz the state's first Hispanic U.S. senator but their overwhelming support for fellow Republican Mitt Romney wasn't enough to keep Democratic President Barack Obama from winning re-election to a second term.
GOP-dominated Texas backs Romney, Cruz
The GOP dominance at the top of the Texas ticket was no surprise. Democrats haven't won statewide office in Texas since 1994, the longest state losing streak for the party in the country.
Romney won Texas' 38 electoral votes by building a nearly 3-2 margin lead over Obama but lost the overall prize.
In the balloting to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz similarly topped underfunded former Democratic state Rep. Paul Sadler. Cruz was virtually unknown as a former state solicitor general before he used tea party backing to emerge from a crowded GOP primary field as runner-up to Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, then swept by the mainstream party choice in the runoff to clinch the Republican nomination.
In congressional races, Texas is getting four new representatives thanks to adding 4.3 million residents between 2000 and 2010, bringing the delegation count to 36. Republicans took 22 seats Tuesday and Democrats captured 14, highlighted by state Rep. Pete Gallego's narrow ouster of freshman Republican Francisco "Quico" Canseco in a sprawling district stretching from San Antonio to eastern El Paso County.
In another high-profile contest, Republican state Rep. Randy Weber slipped by former Democratic Congressman Nick Lampson in the Gulf Coast district being vacated by retiring Republican Ron Paul.
In the Legislature, Republicans lost the 102-vote supermajority in the House that had allowed them to pass legislation even if their Democratic colleagues failed to show up for work, but still maintained their grip on the chamber.
And in the state Senate, an expensive and increasingly nasty battle ended with Fort Worth Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis taking a narrow victory over challenger and tea party Republican state Rep. Mark Shelton. Davis' triumph leaves Republicans with a 19-12 advantage. Under the Senate's traditional rules, a bill needs 21 votes to make it to the floor for debate, and Republicans were fighting for every possible seat to achieve a supermajority that can suspend the rules.
Among the Senate winners was Democrat Mario Gallegos, Jr., an incumbent from Houston who died in October of liver failure. A special election will be held to fill his seat.
Cruz told supporters in Houston if Obama followed through on campaign promises to bring people together to reduce the deficit and get people working, "then I will work with him."
But Cruz said if Obama did not, "then I will spend every waking moment to stop it."
"My pledge to you is to work every single day in the U.S. Senate to champion small business and entrepreneurs and help them do what they do best, create jobs and get America working again," he said.

Serving skin care patients from Salem, Roanoke and Cave Spring, VA
There are many ways you can restore your skin's youthful appearance. But if you are looking for a highly effective method that doesn't require surgery, then photo rejuvenation may be exactly what you need. At The Center for Plastic Surgery at Ridgewood Hill, our Medi Spa specialists use either broadband light (multiple wavelengths) or laser therapy (single wavelength) to enhance the appearance and quality of your skin. With these techniques, we are able to offer premier results to our patients from Salem, Roanoke, Cave Spring and other cities in and around Roanoke Valley.
BroadBand Light (BBL™) is a safe and noninvasive photo rejuvenation technology that improves the signs of aging on the face, neck, arms and hands. Our treatments in Salem result in a consistent, visible improvement of the skin with no downtime, little discomfort and minimal risk.
Photo rejuvenation via BBL™ produces a broad beam of highly concentrated light to treat facial redness and flushing or skin discoloration from aging and sun damage. This light is filtered to a wavelength that is selectively absorbed by the target tissues with minimal effect on surrounding tissues. Irregularities such as pigment marks, small blood vessels or clusters of blood vessels will naturally absorb a lot more light energy then the surrounding skin, resulting in less brown spots or fewer blood vessels near the surface.
Photo rejuvenation treatments with BBL™ are performed in our Salem office. The full procedure typically requires four to six sessions of about 20 minutes each, performed at approximately three-week intervals.
SkinTyte™, another photo rejuvenation treatment using BBL™, is designed to warm the deep layers of your skin, causing more collagen to form and resulting in increased firmness. There is essentially no down time with the procedure.
To refresh your skin, ProFractional™ therapy helps air brush fine wrinkles, reduces the appearance of pores and diminishes scarring of the face. The photo rejuvenation procedure uses a special laser to remove micro-channels of damaged tissue, which prompts your body to produce more collagen as part of the natural healing process, thereby building up your skin. Depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment, there is a down time of three to seven days.
A MicroLaserPeel™ uses a special laser to precisely remove the top layers of skin, giving a smoother overall appearance. These peels will go beyond a microdermabrasion, but they are not as aggressive as full skin resurfacing. Sometimes, we treat our photo rejuvenation patients in Salem with a combination of MicroLaserPeel™ and ProFractional™ therapy, which effectively targets both the deeper skin and the surface irregularities.
BBL™ photo rejuvenation treatments are ideal for patients who want a more consistent tone to their skin. These procedures have virtually no downtime and a very low risk of side effects. Treatments can be performed on any part of the skin, but are commonly used to correct areas of the face, neck, chest, arms and hands. The men and women who undergo the treatment in our Salem office are usually looking to remove age spots, sun-induced freckles, benign brown pigments or redness caused by enlarged capillaries.
If you have a suntan, it is advisable to wait until you are back to your base color before undergoing photo rejuvenation. Treating tanned skin increases the possibility of unwanted side effects, such as pigment (color) changes, especially if the target is the brown pigmentation. Also, you should not be pregnant or nursing. If you are using or have used Accutane®, you must have finished this medication for at least six months before any treatments.
Anyone who is noticing fine wrinkles, enlarged pores or scarring of the face could be a candidate for a series of ProFractional® treatments. Since this photo rejuvenation procedure helps encourage growth of collagen in the deeper skin, it is often combined with a MicroLaserPeel™ that addresses the surface of the skin for a combined effect. The procedures are usually repeated three to four times, spaced six to eight weeks apart, but can be done repeatedly to achieve more results.
After your first treatment in Salem, your skin will initially be very pink for an hour or so. The brown spots will look darker and scattered. You will usually see less red after photo rejuvenation for veins. Both treatments for red and brown will likely need to be repeated to get the best results.
Depending on how aggressive your treatment is, you will have a three- to seven-day downtime where your skin is a little tender and rough. You will not be able to put on make-up until the rough skin is shed. You will then tend to be pink for a while, during which time you can apply make-up. The pink phase can vary.
There will be a few days of downtime, depending on how deep and aggressive your photo rejuvenation treatment is. Your face will be tender, and you will need to keep an ointment on while the superficial skin heals. A typical light MicroLaserPeel™ can be done on a Friday, and by Monday you can put makeup on, with skin that already feels smoother with a nice glow.
The skin care professionals at The Center for Plastic Surgery and Medi Spa are always available to answer any questions regarding our photo rejuvenation procedures. We welcome patients from throughout the area, including Salem, Roanoke and Cave Spring. Please give us a call at to schedule a consultation. You can also schedule a consultation online by clicking here: Schedule a Consultation Online for Photo Rejuvenation.

Al Fox And Ralph Fernandez by Mitch E. Perry
In the last week or so, signs have been scattered near roads in Tampa that read, ââ¬ÅGive Fidel Castro A Voice in The U.S. Congress - Vote Al Foxââ¬?.
That Al Fox is the one running for the Democratic nomination in Hillsboroughââ¬â¢s 11th Congressional District.
Ralph Fernandez is a Tampa attorney and has been involved in Cuban-American activities for the last two decades. Heââ¬â¢s one of the people behind those negative signs (roll tape#1 o.q.ââ¬?Osama Bin ladenââ¬?)
Al Fox was raised in Ybor City, but then went on to a long career working in Washington in and around Congress. In 1998, Fox founded the Alliance for Responsible Cuba Policy Foundation, a non profit whose goal is to enhance relations between the U.S. and Cuba.
Fox is disdainful of the economic sanctions against Cuba, and reapprochament with the Communist nation is clearly the signature issue of his Congressional campaign.
Naturally, he doesnââ¬â¢t see eye to eye with Ralph Fernandez (roll tape#2 o.q.ââ¬?truly knows nothing about the issueââ¬?)
And just in case you werenââ¬â¢t sure of his feelings, Fox adds (roll tape#3 o.q.ââ¬?enrich himselfââ¬?) The two have always been on diametrically opposite sides of the argument about Cuba.
But Ralph Fernandez , who says he likes both Kathy Castor and Les Miller, said he never intended to intervene in Foxââ¬â¢s candidacy because he says he never took it that seriously.
But Fernandez says he heard from many in the Cuban community in Tampa who wanted him to act.
Among the criticisms Fernandez has of Fox is that he says that Fox worked for the apartheid led South African government in the 1980ââ¬â¢s (roll tape#4 o.q.ââ¬?apartheid government of Cubaââ¬?)
Al Fox responds to that charge (roll tape#5 o.q.â�to the King Commissionâ�)
Fox also sent to WMNF a quote by Malcolm Ferguson, South Africaââ¬â¢s Ambassador to Mexico. Ferguson said, ââ¬Åââ¬?I worked with Al 20 years ago during some of my countryââ¬â¢s darkest hours. His integrity, candor and commitment to be a credible voice for the progressive movement in Congress was always appreciatedââ¬Â¦.ââ¬? He goes on to say that Foxââ¬â¢s work with Coretta Scott Kingââ¬Â¦.spoke volumes about the manner he always tried In a special way to have an impact in ending the apartheid nightmare.ââ¬?
But Al Fox also says heââ¬â¢s busy with his campaign, and doesnââ¬â¢t have too much time to worry about the Ralph Fernandezââ¬â¢s of the world. Heââ¬â¢s upset with the local press ââ¬â taking exception to what he says is a misquote in Fridayââ¬â¢s Tampa Tribune (roll tape#6 o.q.ââ¬?and thereââ¬â¢s a huge differenceââ¬?)
Al Fox will be joined by the 4 other Democrats running for the nomination in the 11th Congressional District, in a radio debate to be held live on the WMNF Evening News next Monday night, beginning at 6:30PM.comments powered by Disqus

Super Committee Failure Helps Feds in Short Term
November 22, 2011
Federal pay and benefits are being spared in the short term as a result of the super committee's failure to produce a deficit reduction plan.
The 12 lawmakers on the joint select congressional panel failed to broker a deal to cut federal spending. "After months of hard work and intense deliberations, we have come to the conclusion today that it will not be possible to make any bipartisan agreement available to the public before the committee's deadline," said a statement from committee co-chairs Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas, and Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.

Long, who is scheduled to perform at the Penn Relays today, can't remember doing anything differently to get ready for an April 7 tri-meet against Howard and Glenelg.

Taking the time to research beach weddings versus cruise ship weddings is a good way to decide which option is right for you and your big day. Many couples opt for a cruise ship wedding because they usually entail both beach and boating time, while others like the beachfront exclusivity that a beach wedding has to offer. If you have your heart set on getting married near the water, both options offer tons of great advantages.
Keep the following factors in mind when comparing beach weddings versus cruise ship weddings:
Affordability—If budget is an issue for you, both beach weddings and cruise ship weddings are very affordable, sometimes even more affordable than a local, traditional wedding. You can find cruise ship wedding packages for as little as $800, and many of these packages include all of the necessities, including the flowers, cake, and ceremony fees. However, certain cruise lines may cost more for both you and your guests, whereas beach weddings range greatly in price and may be less expensive if you choose a beach or seashore location that is nearby.
Seasickness—With a cruise ship wedding, it's inevitable. Someone you might want to attend your wedding might get sick while out on the open sea. Not everyone can handle traveling on a cruise ship. While you shouldn't bypass your dreams of a cruise ship wedding to cater to the possibility of some of your guests getting sick, it's still a good idea to take seasickness into consideration. This is a factor that can make comparing beach weddings versus cruise ship weddings an easier decision.
Travel—Another factor to consider when comparing beach weddings versus cruise ship weddings is the travel factor for your guests. If you marry on a cruise ship, depending on the length of the cruise, some guests may not be able to attend because they cannot be away for too long. Having a beach wedding allows your guests to pick up and fly home when they need to, as opposed to some cruise ship weddings, which might require you to be on-board for a few days at a time, in between stops to various islands. Keep travel plans in mind when comparing beach weddings versus cruise ship weddings.

President Paul Kagame today laid the foundation stone at the proposed Liberation Museum in Mulindi Sector in Gicumbi District.
The event was part of a flurry of activity in the run-up to the ruling Rwanda Patriotic Front's Silver Jubilee celebrations on Thursday, December 20.
At the ceremony, Kagame, also RPF chairman, paid tribute to Gicumbi residents for their support during the 1990-94 liberation struggle, saying their collaboration with the then rebels was significant in winning the war.
The museum will be constructed near a cave which served as the headquarters of the RPF movement which would topple the genocidal regime on July 4, 1994.
The RPF/A struggle was launched on October 1, 1990, with the objective of fighting the injustice and discrimination that had characterised Rwanda for decades.

There is a fantastic series by Eric Flint and other contributers about a small chunk of modern day West Virginia USA mining country being transported back in time AND into the middle of 1635 Germany during the 30 Years War. Mostly like an alternate universe series, the books of short stories are called Grantville Gazette I, II, and III.
It is really a good bunch of books about how they learn to cope and deal with life the way it ends up for them. There are 5 main books and at least three short story books by some rather famous authors and even a massive website about the technology and how they could adapt what they have into a more massive system of communication and helping to prevent massive plagues and circumvent some of the battles and problems that went on.
I found it very fascinating and had to buy every bit of the series when I finished the first book. Some of them are listed under a more famous author who contributed, but, I think it is a good series to use as a learning tool for survival and teaching moral lessons too.

Good answer back in return of this matter with genuine arguments and
telling the whole thing concerning that.
A motivating discussion is definitely worth comment.
I think that you should publish more about this topic,
it may not be a taboo matter but generally folks don't speak about such subjects. To the next! Kind regards!!
hmmm... This shows how people are illitrate and only think of what is spread as rumours and not the reality with common sense....
Come on people out there.. use your brains and not just on media or rumours or some silly politics...
Stand on your feet and do good to others as humans.... Dont just blindly close your eyes and believe... Use common sense which God has given... Dont get it rusted
Hello, I read your blogs like every week. Your story-telling styl is awesome, keep up the good work!
i totally y agree with him it is a sill politics and rumors one should not believe on it.thanks
It was so funny,
i'm iranian and knew that this is a funny thing to be happy in a days that everything looks to be like nothing and repetetive,
most of iranian never knew that thing,
iranian have the most IQ in averege at all world,
srry for bad english writing or grammer.
I agree. A few people falling for a hoax doesn't mean an entire nation did!
Hi dear friends;
First of all, as I read the previous comments, it seemed my friends wanted to emphasize the notion that everything - from the rumor itself to the people on the roofs and to the insults by Facebook users on Pepsi's page- was simply a joke, while many evidence suggests there were more to the event than people who wanted just to make fun.
The fact is that we - the Iranians- have long "fallen prey hoax", not only in events related to fun and entertainment but also in many other deadly serious issues. Do they happen every now and then just by some accidents? Never, they are present every single moment in our lives, for there are some negative characteristics instilled in us which give rise to what happened recently and which will still create many other similar stories.
One negative characteristic which makes us, Iranians, prone to incidents such as the one which happened within the few days ago, is that we are totally naive and gullible: never trained to explore things or to bother to go for the source of the information we are given.
This is evident not only in the "moon logo" event, but in every single aspect of the Iranians' lives: In politics, for example, we see people too much reliant on state TV reports trying to erroneously convince them that Tehran is pursuing a peaceful nuclear program which is under full supervision by International Atomic Energy Agency. These reports come as many other aspects of the controversial program is simply kept secret from the people, or even in some cases, the truth is totally reversed, with few, If any, even bothering to doubt the reliability of the information. They just keep believing, believing and believing...
Another negative characteristic is that they never really know how to challenge an authority who has enforced a law or principle they see no good reason to obey ,and as a result, often choose indirect ways to protest, which are perceived as less dangerous. When I told those who posted offensive remarks on Pepsi's fan page that they, themselves, and not Pepsi, were to blame for their being easy targets, many of them said they just had no other entertainment, putting the blame on the government for leaving them no other way to be together and have fun.
Iranians are also more bellicose rather than diplomatic, more self-righteous and dismissive when criticized. They are less likely to believe a criticism by a person or institution or to regard it worth considering. I suppose it is safe enough to say ordinary Iranian people are the same defiant as their politicians when they face criticism, even if that's completely true. No one can get them back to logic when they are on the wrong path. This was clearly evident by the defiant and often-insulting reactions Pepsi-page attackers showed towards a few other users who tried to convince them that Pepsi or no other media had never confirmed the company was going to display the brand's colors on moon's surface.
There are clearly other reasons as well, but these were the most important ones, I suppose. So it seems the Pepsi Logo hoax is a rule rather than an exception in the Iranians' lives.:)
At this time I am going to do my breakfast, when having my breakfast coming over again to read more news.
Hurrah, that's what I was seeking for, what a material!
existing here at this weblog, thanks admin of this site.

Portuguese unmanned air vehicle (UAV) company Tekever will fly Farnborough's first autonomous flight display using the AR4 Light Ray. Although the tactical UAV was unveiled in 2011, the aircraft's official market launch will be at the air show.
Alhough UAVs have been displayed regularly, notably the Schiebel S-100 camcopter at the 2011 Paris air show, Tekever says this marks the major air show debut of an autonomous display in which the aircraft will fly a pre-programmed display without interference or positive control from a human operator.
Tekever will also have a scale model of the AR5 Life Ray, a larger UAV built for maritime missions, on static display (H2/C6).
"We decided to propose the flying display of the AR4 Light Ray because, although UAVs have been around for a long time, and are regulars at air shows static displays, most people do not have the opportunity to see one actually flying," says Tekever administrator Ricardo Mendes.
The display will include the unpacking and assembly of the Light Ray immediately before the flight, and the disassembly following that. The UAV is meant to be carried in a backpack by tactical forces.
"During the past months, Tekever has been interacting with several military and civilian organizations from several different countries that have expressed their belief the AR4 is a perfect fit for their operational requirements," says Mendes.
"We're quite advanced on some of these processes, but it is still premature to disclose further details," he adds.
Autonomy is increasingly desired in UAVs as they become increasingly common in tactical situations. The ability to cover a certain spot, route or target without positive control is a desired asset.
Pending a suitable communications setup, Tekever plans to transmit the video feed from the flight to the show and over the Internet.
"The AR4-related business development effort is indeed blooming now and Tekever hopes that Farnborough will be a great venue to maintain this effort's pace and attain successful undertakings," says Mendes.

At a parliamentary hearing in Australia this morning, representatives from Microsoft and Adobe struggled to justify the extraordinarily high prices they charge for popular software in the country, while an Apple spokesman blamed deals with rights holders for the high price of digital movies and music. The public hearing was called by the country's Standing Committee on Infrastructure and Communications in response to allegations of price gouging by up to 70 percent or more compared to the same products sold in the United States.
"You'll charge as much as the market can bear."
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Microsoft Australia managing director Pip Marlow disagreed with the premise, saying that strong competition means "customers will vote with their wallets" if the company sets its prices too high. Microsoft Office Professional sells for $399 US, but $599 in Australian currency — more than 55 percent more after adjusting for the exchange rate. The fact wasn't lost on Labor MP Stephen Jones, who told Marlow, "you'll charge as much as the market can bear."
Both representatives pointed toward more competitively-priced cloud offerings
Adobe Australia's managing director Paul Robson found himself in a similar situation when called to explain why a copy of the company's CS6 Design and Web Premium Suite costs nearly 75 percent more in Australia. The software's $3,175 Australian price tag led to widely-circulated reports that it is cheaper for Australians to fly to the US and buy it there. Both representatives tried to deflect criticism by pointing toward more competitively-priced cloud offerings, the same strategy employed by Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen when he faced similar questions last month, but Jones remained unconvinced.
Apple didn't escape the hearing unscathed, either. When asked why music and movies routinely sold for higher prices in Australia than elsewhere, Apple Australia's managing director Tony King told attendees that the record labels and music studios were to blame. He went on to explain that rights holders demanded higher wholesale prices in Australia than elsewhere, despite Apple's push for more consistent pricing. "

Shocking stuff Halabol learnt from UNICEF's #poo2loo campaign
When was the last time you passed through an alley and got freaked by an obnoxious stench of human crap? What was your reaction when accidentally your eyes caught the glimpse of this gooey decomposing crap? Ohh…sorry to spoil your mood, but this is a serious 'SHIT' we are talking about and you can't afford to miss this shit. Believe me. Bear with me for while.
Have you ever imagined how come this load of poo is deposited at various sites in India? What's behind soiling railway tracks, street corners and any other place with filth and crap? Okay, to put things in perspective, 620 million Indians defecate in open. And, Uttar Pradesh is the only state that is highly afflicted by this malady. Simply put, most Indian states are.
To experience ground realities Halabol team visited one such place, Moradabad, at Uttar Pradesh. Here is what we witnessed…
The Blacks
Manual scavenging is still being practiced in few villages of Uttar Pradesh, India
Scavengers from a village. No dignity, no respect and worst of all they get pennies for this humiliating work and some stale food.
Inspite of putting up government resources some toilets are as bad as these.
The Whites
This young leader defeated all social and financial challenges. No open defecation in this village. Kudos to this guy!
Protsahan, Youthkiawaaz, UNICEF team, Halabol and Global Voices appreciating the positive change bought in this village where there is zero open defecation.
Clean school toilets have been built for children. These initiatives changed the old filthy mindset of open defecation.
This kid is happy after getting the toilet built at his home.
The Grays
Head of this village is least bothered about open defecation, though showed some concern when persuaded by an UNICEF changemaker
UNICEF in collaboration with government, planning to wipe out open defecation in UP and build toilets for all houses. This dream is long way off….but the development is happening at magical rate.
Open defecation leads to diseases, diarrhea is the prominent one that leads to shocking 88 percent of deaths worldwide
Development is on so are the diligent efforts from organizations, governments and NGO's. The only question here is what impact are we making? Are we contributing our bit to curb this practice of open defecation by guiding people, talking to them or acting digitally.
We encourage you to take a pledge at http://www.poo2loo.com/ and contribute your bit.
Ohh wait...have you seen MR. Poo around Delhi/NCR?
Hunt for Mr. Poo and throw him in the nearest toilet around. Here is how he looks.

Farm Report
Given the dismal forage and grain situation for crop year 2012, Heather and I thought it appropriate to include a summary of our low starch research trial that she just presented at ADSA. With corn grain prices predicted to be near record high and in some areas forage yields at critical lows; how best to make milk?
Last year, we conducted a feeding trial comparing a conventional 26% starch diet to low 21% starch diets by using two basic feeding strategies to lower dietary starch:
1. Increase the forage-to-concentrate ratio with highly digestible forage fiber.
2. Replace starch from corn grain with non-forage fiber sources (NFFS) that are high in digestible fiber.
The study was a 3 x 3 Latin square design with 2 1-day periods. Each cow received each diet and thereby served as her own control. The study included 15 peak- to mid-lactation multiparous cows, (6 ruminally cannulated). The dietary treatments were:
• Control diet (CON): 50% forage, 26% starch
• High Forage diet (FOR): 63% forage, 21% starch
• Non-forage fiber diet (NFFS): 50% forage, 21%starch
The NFFS for this trial were: beet pulp, wheat midds and DDGS. Soy hulls is another option for NFFS but was not used in this trial.
Diet formulation and nutrient profiles are presented in Table 1.
The results for intake and milk production are presented in Table 2. Dry matter intake (DMI) was slightly greater on the CON ration. In spite of lower DMI of the FOR and NFFS diets, higher NDF content of these diets resulted in significant differences in intake of aNDF and peNDF. Gut fill may have been approaching a maximum, possibly limiting DMI of these two diets. The 24-hour NDFD of these diets was surprisingly similar, though numerically higher for the CON ration. Intake of aNDF was 1.23, 1.35 and 1.34% of body weight for the CON, FOR, and NFFS diets respectively. Milk production was similar between the CON and NFFS diets at about 112 lbs, but was significantly lower on the high forage ration. Milk fat content differed across diets, but component corrected milk was similar. Milk true protein did not differ between diets. These results indicate that diets with NFFS can maintain similar milk production when substituted for starch in the form of cornmeal. Increasing the level of dietary forage, however, showed a slight decrease in milk yield but similar FCM yield.
A full review of this trial can be obtained here.
