In Town you may stroll at the historic St. Mark's Square and visit the Solomos & Kalvos Museum which is also their Mausoleum. There are kept original artifacts of the island's gentry along with their seals. At the nearby Solomos Square with all the neoclassical buildings you may visit the Byzantine Museum and marvel at the old icons and frescoes that survived from the medieval churches which did not survive the disastrous earthquake of 1953.
On Zakynthos you will find the mountain villages and those of the plains besides those by the sea-side. In between the sharp edged rocks, the white sand and the turquoise water bays the Caretta-Caretta sea-turtles find refuge to reproduce. The beaches of Lagana(8km) and Geraka(17km) are welcoming them every year when they come out at night to lay their eggs.
The Monasteries is another point of interest that should not be forgotten. There history and worship along with the special Zakynthian way of chanting will lift you to another dimension. Frescoes, old icons make the simplicity of the Nuns & the Monks regal.

"The representation of religious justices has also not changed" and there's your problem. There should not be any judges self-identifying publicly as "religious". This is a very serious mistake. You need to correct that - those "religious" judges should retire immediately and 3 open-minded individuals should replace them. What on earth are you thinking?

That was the Sermon Text! It was wonderful to read the comments of the live chat from sundays service. Pastor reminded us that Praise is what we do!

The cruise season in Colón will start warming up in October as ships from Celebrity Cruises, Holland America, Princess Cruises, and Pullmantur lines pull into port.
The centenary of the Panama Canal has become one of the most transcendental moments in the history of this Central American country and the world at large. The 2014 anniversary celebration is slated for August 15, the historic day when the ship S.S. Ancón crossed the Canal for the first time, and it will take place a hundred years after the construction of this extraordinary work of engineering that has made it one of the main shipping lanes in the world.
According to the Agency for Promotion of Investments and Exports (Proinvex), Panama has greater potential and comparative advantages in several sectors, among them tourism for its legal security and transparency generated by an effective public administration.
We toured the city dubbed 'the Dubai of Latin America' or 'Little Miami', in search of the best in Spanish fashion.
Panama is one of the most dynamic emerging economies in the world. It is also a rich mine of opportunities for European companies. The ever-changing capital of Panama City is an accurate reflection of the country. Over the last five years Panama has grown annually by 10%. This small country of 3,600,000 inhabitants is among the top five best performers among world economies.
In the last couple months a group of tourists from Europe came to visit Panama, specifically to see the Panama Canal in person. They told us about their experience in the country.
This year, Panama — the southernmost country in Central America — won by recently making it easier to move there. Normally, you can get a Panamanian visa if you receive a pension of at least $1,000 a month; Social Security qualifies.
Panama is a country with high diversity, large companies, and a burgeoning local businesses scene.
Los comercios en Panamá son muy variados, sobre todo en el sector textil y electrodomésticos, existe una variedad de Malls y almacenes en la ciudad, en lugares cómodos y seguros como ser: Albrook Mall, Multicentro, Metromall, Westland Mall y otros.

"One of my favorite things about LSSU is its size. The classrooms, especially as you get to the upper levels, get smaller, so you not only have a chance to discuss your ideas in an honest, supportive manner, but you also get to know your professors and classmates. The upper level courses really allow you to focus on what you love, and the small class size allows you to have time to share and to discuss your ideas."

President Obama's Early Learning Proposal
The President is proposing a groundbreaking plan to support high-quality early learning opportunities for children birth to age five. The President's budget calls for significant new investments to expand access to and improve the quality of child care and early education programs that help children enter school ready to succeed and help parents work. The plan involves a multi-pronged approach that includes a new initiative to make high-quality preschool available to all four-year-olds in low- and moderate-income families; new partnerships between Early Head Start and child care providers to provide high-quality, full-day/full-year early learning opportunities for infant and toddlers; voluntary home visiting to support vulnerable families; and increased funding for child care and other existing programs related to early care and education.

Joint pain is one of the greatest inconveniences that can hamper our mobility and decrease the zest we feel for life as we get older. It manifests in symptoms of inflammation which is typically characterized by redness, swollen joints that are warm to the touch, loss of joint function and joint pain and stiffness.
Inflammation may also be associated with fever chills, headaches, loss of appetite, fatigue, low energy and muscle stiffness.
In its worst form, joint pain is a precursor to rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis, caused by an overactive immune system, is especially scary, since the medical protocol can be quite intense (such as chemotherapy and other therapies which suppress the immune system). To protect your well-being and your pocket, it is advisable to turn to natural remedies in herbs to treat inflammation as well as herbs which cleanse the blood and strengthen the body in general.
Herbs help cleanse metabolic waste products and toxins from our body. They work by supporting the natural cleansing functions of the kidneys, large intestines, increasing blood flow and aiding lymph drainage.
Allowing these wastes and toxins to circulate throughout the body is a cause of inflammation and, when the body is busy attempting to stem joint pain, it's not able to do much else in order to support our health.
Here are several herbs which help ease joint pain.

In June 2009, the City retained Gibbs Planning Group (GPG) to conduct an independent analysis of King Street's urban characteristics and City policies as they relate to the Old Town Commercial District. The broad purpose of the study was to identify the challenges and opportunities to increase Old Town's commerce without compromising the quality of life for its surrounding neighborhoods or its historical heritage.
The 2009 King Street Retail Analysis, prepared by Gibbs Planning Group addressed the following topics:
Meetings, Presentations, and Documents Archive
King Street Retail Analysis, Prepared by Bob Gibbs, June 2009
June 2009 Workshop for Business Owners - presented by Bob Gibbs of Gibbs Planning Group, Inc.
June 2009 Joint City Council/Planning Commission work session
March 2009 King Street Retail Forum, presented by Bob Gibbs of Gibbs Planning Group Inc.Presentation (This is a 12 megabyte PDF file and may take time to download to your computer. The new window may remain blank until the entire file has downloaded)
A strategic planning effort for King Street's "historic retail district" from the King Street Metro Station to the waterfront examined ways to keep this vital retail sector competitive in the face of burgeoning regional competition. The City's Department of Planning and Zoning - working with an advisory committee composed of local businesses, citizens, and representatives from business and civic groups - identified potential opportunities, evaluated market constraints, and recommended actions to maintain King Street as a vibrant retail center. The goal has been to ensure that King Street continues to function as Alexandria's "Main Street" for residents and visitors alike.
The Retail Strategy sought to build upon the many positive attributes of this important historic street/district and to recommend programs that will allow and encourage the retail district to meet the needs of its patrons in a lively and desirable urban environment. The characteristics of the King Street retail area are quite diverse, including the office-oriented Metro station area, the independent retailers serving primarily Alexandria residents, and the tourist-oriented waterfront area. The length and diversity of the street as a retail corridor necessitated a broad approach to the planning process and resulted in a comprehensive set of recommendations ranging from land use and zoning to parking, transit and urban design. Also included in the Strategy were recommendations on how to most effectively implement the suggested actions.

As expected, one of the UMPCs was manufactured by Samsung Electronics. The others were built by Asus and Founder Group, a Chinese technology company.
But it appears that significantly more work will have to be done before UMPCs are ready for the mass market. Pankaj Kedia, Intel's manager for low-power Internet access marketing, told ZDNet UK that these first devices have a battery life of between two and three hours, depending on whether they are used to play video.
And while the Samsung and Founder devices were operational and being used to play video at CeBit, the Asus UMPC--the R2H--appeared to have run out of power.
Intel's general manager for Europe, Christian Morales, told a crowded press conference at CeBit that UMPC devices represented the start of a new form factor for the PC industry. He also promised that Intel would help make UMPCs much more efficient over the next few years. "We have plans over the next five years to deliver a 10fold improvement in power usage," he said.
All three UMPCs on show had touch-sensitive color screens, measuring 7 inches across diagonally. They support Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and have two USB ports. They weigh just less than a kilogram (2.2 pounds), with hard drives of 30GB to 60GB, and run on Intel's existing ultralow-power Pentium and Celeron chips.
Samsung's device, called the Q1, is scheduled to launch in May this year, costing about $1,190 (1,000 euros).
Bill Mitchell, Microsoft's vice president for mobile platforms, joined Morales on stage and demonstrated that the UMPCs ran Windows XP Tablet PC edition, with the addition of a piece of software called the Touch Pack, providing an innovative on-screen keyboard that lets people type with their thumbs.
"We've been working very hard for five years to leverage the full power of the Windows XP Tablet (PC platform)," said Mitchell. He showed that UMPCs would include modified versions of Internet Explorer, OneNote and Windows Media Player.
Graeme Wearden of ZDNet UK reported from Hannover, Germany. ZDNet UK's Charles McLellan contributed to this report.

Talk about a device looking for something to do.
I've seen handhelds with all this stuff glommed on that work
I've seen ultraportables that do more, better.
It's nice to see my pet theory confirmed - Microsoft just plain
has no idea what people want, do they? I mean, I can just hear

platform! That'll get Windows' market penetration up another

- So, first, why do these all seem to look like something I've seeen
sitting in on the CompUSA handheld electronics aisle for the last
two years?
Second, who are these supposed to appeal to? I can possibly see
some manufaturing use, perhaps in a hospital context, but
mainstream? It just isn't appealing, in my opinion.
They're all too bulky. The reported battery lives are, for lack of a
better word, crap given the form factor. And, it's only jump over
smartphones and PDAs seems to be that it runs a full form
version of Windows... whooopppeeee... NOT!
I'm just not seeing what everyone is so EXCITED about regarding
PS - I almost forgot, the car set-up picture... that is so
astoundingly ridiculous as a setup anyone would use.

- I would use it
- Honestly I think it will be a hit. I used all PDA's and only the Blackberry and the new Windows Mobile 5 devices with wireless email are useful. I hate inputing anything into PDA and if I have to read anything more than a simple email....I need a bigger screen.
Word...Excel and powerpoint on a PDA is a joke. On this new device I could actually use it...read them and input into them with a keyboard. I imagine taking them to a meeting instead of my binder...any documents I need for the meeting...NOT printed out and in a electronic form I can actually read with out scrolling every second.
If I need to present.....plug it into the projector and fire up power point on it.
At home it would be a great way to get to the internet when not next to a desktop PC and with out hauling around a laptop.
Its to early to pass judgement on the hardware setups. If they become popular Dell...HP...even Apple will probably make one. Each with their own distinctive hardware options. I am sure there will be lots of Car options from vendors...I imagine a docking station that you see no wires at all in your can...all hidden in the mounting arm like current I-pod options....coupled with GPS, Charging and intergration into your stero system...."Turn Left at the next street":)

- "it's only jump over smartphones and PDAs seems to be that it runs a full form version of Windows"
If all you want is a smartphone, by all means use a smartphone. But the larger form factor allows for 4x the screen area of a pocket pc (even more relative to a smartphone), which makes it a lot better for some tasks.
Why squint and watch movies on a phone when you can watch them on a much more comfortable 7" screen? And while you can look at tiny GPS maps on a smartphone, you'll be able to see a lot more with one of these devices.
Why scroll through tiny views of a web page, when you view them at a more-comfortable 800 pixels wide? And PDF files (if you can even view them), word documents and spreadsheets are even worse than web pages.
The battery life is horrible, and the first-gen devices are way too expensive. But the form factor seems like a really solid idea.

- Really Not Anything New
- The OQO (OQO.com) is a 4x6" device that runs Windows XP and has full PC functionality. It has probably been on the market for about 2 years, and seems to be absolutely everything that these ultramobile PC's claim to be.
Does anyone know what makes them new or different?

- What I want in a UMPC
- I want something that is ultra-mobile and as functional as my current notebook, not a souped up PDA which is what this sounds like.
So here is what I would need:
1. Processor capable of a decent speed.
2. 512-1gb RAM
3. 60-80GB Hard Drive
4. External CD-rw or DVD-rw, internal would work too but because of the formfactor doubtful.
5. XP Tablet Edition
6. VGA or DVI output (I cannot beleive neither has this, cause I cant connect my monitor via usb!)

Think windows mobile PDA's....every vendor has different spin on them. HP Windows mobile PDA's come with keboards on some...some have a slide out keyboard some have no keyboard at all. Dell has their own...Asus....etc.
I imagine dozen different flavors of this thing...all with the same basic internal hardware...cpu...video, ram and hd....with all kinds of external options.
Wake up for second and think about it.

- A Fujitsu P1510D is probably more plausible as a lightweight notebook replacement -- it's not quite as small as the new ultra-mobile PCs, but it's close. It has an 8.9" 1024x600 screen, weighs 2.2 to 2.5 pounds, and is a convertable, so you can flip it around and use the keyboard.
1.2GHz Pentium M
up to 60 GB HDD

external CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive available
VGA Out: up to 1600x1200 resolution
They start under $1500.

- Whats So cool About it
- Well , Nokia 770 is much cooler in looks and functionality compared to the UMPC. only thing is it runs on WinXp and has PC Architecture, we we dont care about what it runs on or what architechture it has, if it has functionalites well then thats all the customer needs.

- Does "modified" programs mean crippled, extra development?
- I thought the whole advantage of an Origami / UMPC (there's an
acronym no one will love) was that it ran all your standard XP
If it seems they have to be enhanced to work effectively on the
tablet, then why not just go with a PDA or smart phone which
has the software built from the ground up for the device?
Even at best, it's a case of "IE for UMPC: a whole new set of
security holes, which will be patched as quickly as we patched
the Tablet PC's pen digitizer memory leak."

- Mostly just UI affordances
- My impression is that any required software changes will be cosmetic, not functional. This means the apps shouldn't be crippled or expose additional security holes, if done even remotely right. I would expect that some apps would be optimized for use without a keyboard or for the 800x480 screen, but not much beyond that.
And it's still XP that it's running, so the full version of most anything should run on it as long as the screen resolution is supported.

- It's all about the battery life!
- It doesnt matter how whiz bang minaturised the UMPC is, it counts for nought if it doesn't have long battery life. How many of us are constantly watching the battery meter when we do our jobs? Rushing to get things done before the system shutsdown. MS and co should pour more $$$ into battery development to produce day (week?) long battery life.

- Did you see the price tag?
- "Samsung's device, called the Q1, is scheduled to launch in May
this year, costing about $1,190 (1,000 euros)."
That's the main deal breaker. The highest estimate of price
Microsoft leaked was $899. No way are most people going to pay
nearly $1,200 for a glorified PDA.

- All UMPCs need an interactive speech interface
- I can imagine this portable computer with a talkingdesktop interface software and a headset.
This would allow me to leave my regular desktop behind and let me control a mobile computer with speech recognition and then listen to it talk back as I am walking around.
Maybe this device will really show the benefit of an interactive software interface.

- One basic problem.....
- .... no one has cracked the voice recognition problem yet, much
less developed an intelligent read back capability.
The best voice recognition program still is a waveform pattern
matching process which needs serious training by the user. And
that training is woefully inadequate for any normal human speech
HAL still exists only in the imagination.

- Perhaps...but you would be surprised
- Its true that speech recognition has had a long and difficult road, waiting for computer power to catch up to speech software's need for CPU power.
Microsoft's engines were not very good several years ago but they have continued to improve and are quite good now. Fortunately MS continues pushing development in this area.
Recent interactive software programs like the one I mentioned are based on Microsoft engines and
taking avantage of MS improvements. The speech recognition is actually quite good and the talking back features make your computer alot more fun than just having your computer sit on your desk like a lump of metal.

- It is still nothing more....
- ... than wave form pattern matching, Maybe with the current fast
processors, it will work well enough for some people, But it not
really voice recognition.
When MS, or anyone else, can actually do audio feature extraction,
then voice recognition actually begins. Until then, brute force and
awkwardness can get the job done to a degree, but not with any
pride of technology.

Qatar coach Bruno Metsu delivered a candid assessment of his side's performance in their 2-0 defeat to Uzbekistan, conceding they were simply not good enough as their AFC Asian Cup campaign began in hugely disappointing fashion.
A fantastic strike from Odil Akhmedov and an opportunistic finish from Server Djeparov condemned the hosts to defeat in their opening Group A game at Khalifa Stadium and Metsu admitted the magnitude of the occasion may have got to some of his younger charges.
"I think the players wanted to give their best but there was a lot of pressure on them and they forgot everything," said the Frenchman. "Today is really a bad day. Sometimes the opening game is very difficult, it's not the first time a host team has lost their first game, there was a lot of pressure on many young players.
"They worked very hard for this game but sometimes the opposite happens and this was the case today," the coach went on. "It is important to protect the players. If there is one problem, one mistake, it's on me."
Qatar next face China PR on Wednesday at Khalifa Stadium and Metsu stressed it is imperative they take all three points if they are to maintain their hopes of reaching the quarter-finals. "For us, this game is need-to-win only. No question, no calculations, nothing," he added. "If we want to get to the second round, the only result is to win. We have five or six days to prepare for this game. I think it is possible, I respect China because they are also a good team but what my team showed today is not us."
The alternative is an unpalatable prospect. "It would be very bad for us and for me the coach not to qualify," he said. "My objective is to reach the second round but my situation is not important, the national team is important. I give my best, I work very hard, I give my all. I like my team, they work very well, and if it is not very good with me then maybe someone else but the first objective is to reach the second round, after that we decide."
Uzbekistan boss Vadim Abramov saw his side control the majority of the contest and declared there is still plenty of improvement left in his squad. "They (the players) played great today but this is not our maximum, I still think that we can play much better," he said. "We got the three points today and we are happy now but we should not relax for the next match. We will enjoy this now but tomorrow we will look to the next match."

sorry for the long time since my last post, haven't had a chance to work on it lately.
Work+College+Girlfriend = not much time
Got a set of injectors for cheap off ebay, with the new windings, so I'm going to put those in when it warms up. I'm also have a used coil pack that I know works that I'm going to put on as well. I also found out my fuel tank leaks :shock: . This car sat for 5-7 Years prior to me owning it so could the fuel pump have just went to hell? Either way I'm going to put in a different tank and pump, so after all thats done we'll seen if it still doesn't run right.
I didn't put a gauge on it but I did get blasted with fuel when I hit the valve at the fuel rail.Dark Ride wrote:
Edit: There is definetly pressure at the Fuel Rail
did you actually put a guage on it, or just the basic fuel comes out of the valve test?

Park Ridge, IL (PRWEB) November 07, 2013
In recognition of Lung Cancer Awareness Month, Illinois CyberKnife offers tips on how to reduce the risk of one its most frequently treated diseases. The center has treated nearly 50 lung cancer patients this year with its advanced cancer treatment technology.
Opened in 2011, Illinois CyberKnife completes its second year at Advocate Lutheran General Hospital this month. The center opened as a service of the hospital to offer stereotactic radiosurgery using CyberKnife® technology. Illinois CyberKnife has since treated nearly 200 patients with benign and malignant tumors throughout the body, including the brain, spine, lungs, liver, pancreas and prostate.
"A number of our patients travel from outside our hospital partner's service area and with each anniversary we hope to continue extending our network throughout Chicago to reach more patients who could benefit from our treatment approach," said Dr. Arica Hirsch, Illinois CyberKnife medical director.
Dr. Hirsch offers the following tips to reducing the risk of lung cancer and support the fight against the disease.
The USPSTF is an independent, volunteer panel of national experts in prevention and evidence-based medicine. The Task Force works to improve the health of all Americans by making evidence-based recommendations about clinical preventive services such as screenings, counseling services and preventive medications. To read more about the recommendation, view the draft for public comment.
"Lung cancer is an extremely widespread and common disease, but it is also among the most preventable cancers," Dr. Hirsch said. "Taking just a few steps to improve lung health can have an enormous impact on overall health."
Illinois CyberKnife treats lung tumors with a noninvasive procedure called stereotactic body radiation radiosurgery. Tumors are treated with very precise, high-dose radiation beams while radiation exposure to healthy tissue surrounding a tumor is minimized.
Though surgery is the standard treatment for lung cancer, patients in poor health or suffering from chronic pulmonary disease like emphysema may not be able to undergo surgery. CyberKnife treatment can be an alternative for those patients especially. Treatment is completed within five or fewer sessions and patients return to their normal routine, experiencing few to no side effects.
Illinois CyberKnife is a department of Advocate Lutheran General Hospital and is located at 1700 Luther Lane, Suite 1110, Park Ridge, Ill. 60068. For more information, call (847) 723-0100.

COVINGTON - The Covington Police Department will be issuing decals and inspecting golf carts beginning Monday to those who wish to drive them on approved city streets.The Covington City Council approved an ordinance Nov. 3 allowing golf carts to be operated on designated city streets, but residents are required to make an application in person at the Covington Police Department to obtain a permit. The charge will be $15 and the permit is effective for five years. "Our job is to enforce the ordinance, and we're going to be managing the decals and the inspection of the golf carts," CPD Sgt. Wendell Wagstaff said. Included in the list of city council approved streets are Mill Street, College Avenue, Floyd Street, Legion Drive, Usher Street, Elm Street, Pennington Street and Newton Drive, among others. A map showing a complete list of approved streets for driving golf carts is available at the police department, as well as a copy of the ordinance showing those streets that are not approved. Only those streets preapproved by the Covington City Council are eligible for golf cart use. No streets that are also considered a state highway can be used for golf carts, and Wagstaff emphasized that no golf carts will be allowed on the Covington Square, as three sides of the Square are on a state highway. If a resident desires to cross a state highway, application must be made to the City Council to have a crosswalk designated on that highway by the Georgia Department of Transportation. Wagstaff said residents should drive their cart to the police department to obtain their decals, provided that it is not necessary for them to cross a state or federal highway to do so. "We'll allow them to come to the police station in order to obtain the decal, but we don't want them breaking any laws," Wagstaff said. "If they have any questions about that, they should call us. If there's a situation where they can't drive to the station, they'll need to come by here to get an application, fill it out and then an officer can meet them at their residence." Roadworthy golf carts should be equipped with windshields, turn signals, brakes, a horn, headlights, brake lights, safe tires and if gas-powered, an exhaust system. Also, once the decal is issued, residents will need to make sure proper signage is on their street and should call the office of the police chief at 770-786-4425 to request a sign. "If they want their streets included, they need to notify the chief's office so they can get the proper signs out there," Wagstaff said. "The signs are to show golf cart drivers where they can drive, but they're also a warning for drivers of vehicles that golf carts are known to frequent that path." Wagstaff said golf cart drivers need to be aware that all traffic laws pertain to them. "They need to understand that golf carts are considered a motor vehicle. They can be arrested for drunk driving on it. They can be arrested for reckless driving on it," Wagstaff said. "They can not drive them on the sidewalk. They will be cited if we see them driving on the sidewalk. They have to have a driver's license or an instructional permit with a supervising adult, just like a car." One thing that doesn't apply to golf carts that is mandatory for drivers of cars and trucks is insurance. State law does not require that a person have insurance on their golf cart, but according to area insurance agents, don't expect vehicle or homeowners insurance to take over on any theft or liability. A separate policy is required and rates vary from company to company. Estimates were given ranging from $75 to $400 a year. "We're just asking that golf carts be respectful to the cars and trucks and that cars and trucks be respectful of the golf carts," Wagstaff said. Anyone with any questions should call Wagstaff at 770-385-2147 or Cheryl Vaughn at 770-785-7605. Barbara Knowles can be reached at barbara.knowles@newtoncitizen.

I received these lenses yesteday and I'm super happy!
These are the first lenses I've ever worn in my whole life and I love them. I've got dark brown (almost black) eyes and I though the color would be much more darker, but I was wrong, the violet color is still noticeable.
They are pretty big, maybe too much (I should have looked closer at the size) but still comfortable.
I must also say that they arrived here super fast, I expected to have them during the firs week of april but here they are! =)

Olympic Commission 2012: Breathe
Battle for the Winds:
The Ceremony of the Winds and Final Battle
With the extraordinary cast of 'Breathe'.
28th July 2012 – Weymouth Beach, 8.45pm.
Audiences may arrive from 7pm.
Diverse City present 'The Breathers' for Battle for the Winds', a cast of 64 disabled and non disabled performers put together in a groundbreaking project commissioned by the Unlimited programme, part of the London 2012 Festival and Cultural Olympiad.
'Battle for the Winds' is a unique theatrical event which tells the story of a quest to gather the winds from across the South West to power the sailing, with the grand finale featuring pyrotechnics, dance and aerial performance, people flying above the crowds and 2012 torchbearers.
The 'Breathe' project has been a life changing experience for artists and cast alike. Created over the last 15 months by leading disabled artists Jamie Beddard, Alex Bulmer and Dave Toole, the 'Breathers' will take their first breath in public together when they perform in the spectacular 'Battle for the Winds' on Weymouth Beach on 28th July 2012. The 'Breathe' cast has been brought together by Diverse City who have created a unique collaboration between two Dorset performing arts companies The Remix (Activate Performing Arts) and Double Act with performers from APAE and Estacao Dancar from Florianopolis, Brazil.
See who we are to read more about the team behind 'Breathe'.
'Breathe': Brazil
As part of the Unlimited Commission and supported by The British Council, Diverse City have built an international partnership to create the cast of 'Breathe'. In May 2012 fifteen local artists, disabled performers and their support workers flew out to Florianopolis, Brazil to continue a unique collaboration with Brazilian performers from APAE Floripa (learning disabled dance company) and Estacao Dancar (non disabled youth dance company) both from Florianopolis, Brazil.
The group visited Brazil for 14 days during which time they rehearsed with the Brazilian cast to create sections of the show for the 'Battle for the Winds' performance. The combined cast of performers from Brazil and Dorset had already been meeting regularly by Skype developing the story and working together in virtual workshops with the artists. On the 16th July, we welcome 24 Brazilians to Dorset and join the cast of 'Breathe' as we enter our final few weeks of intense rehearsals.

'Breathe': The story
Seven Wind Gatherers compete in a Battle to see whose wind will be chosen to start the sailing events but the battle is interrupted by the arrival of 'The Breathers', uninvited guests who have washed ashore from many lands. 'The Breathers' see that no one has the power and force needed to set the boats to sea but their ceremony is silenced by the evil Doldrum. 'The Breathers' set out to prove through a stunning performance of aerial work, dance, circus, song and theatre, that they are the force that can set the winds free to allow the sailing events to begin.

The Air Quality Egg Will Let You Know Exactly What You're Breathing
This adorable little sensor might yield less than adorable results: The air around you can be quite bad for you. Now you can know precisely how bad.
It's a good thing that the government monitors air pollution in your neighborhood, keeping tabs on the toxins you're breathing in. Oh wait, it's not. In fact, federal, state, and local agencies rely on just 3,000 "ambient air and deposition monitoring networks" to monitor major pollutants in all of North America (PDF). That's approximately one for every 1,200 square miles (and you're pretty much out of luck if you live in Nevada).
But a new sensor network is being built—one adorable little DIY egg at a time. Meet the Air Quality Egg, a system hatched to create a network of open-source sensors and a data platform that will turn everyone into an atmospheric scientist (or at least a data collector).
"The Air Quality Egg is a sensor system designed to allow anyone to collect very high-resolution readings of NO2 and CO concentrations outside of their home," according to the project's Kickstarter campaign which has collected three times more than their $39,000 goal. "Each Egg that comes online contributes data that, in aggregate, will provide what is essentially an 'air quality API.'"
That API, or data feed, will yield an international stream of data about concentrations of air pollution such as nitrous oxide (a precursor to ozone) and atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, the primary driver of climate change. A second set of sensors can also measure ozone (O3), volatile organic compounds, radiation, and particulates.
It works by positioning small electronic sensors outside your home which send regular radio signals to the egg-shaped base station inside. The data is relayed to open data service Pachube, which allows you to check out your local atmospheric profile, generate tweets and SMS alerts for certain pollutants and unleash a global coder community on an unprecedented new dataset.
The whole system—open-source hardware and software—-can be ordered fully assembled ($100) or as a kit ($70) for the DIY crowd. So the next time someone asks you about the weather, you can tell them more than they wanted to know.

It seems that the Smart Citizen project is going to be even bigger. Be sure to be part of it and get your Smart Citizen kit: http://www.kickstarter.com/pro...
There is a real need for something like this. Air quality is political, which means that no one in government cares. Coupled with the fact that air boards are run by professional liars who have little to no health literacy.
How does this system work?
Here in Los Angeles you can walk out of your house and almost die from breathing the air and the California Air Board repeatedly tells us that the air is better than it ever has been and is getting better all the time.
Here in Los Angeles the air we breathe is PUBLIC HEALTH ENEMY NUMBER ONE. In an area where millions of people live in very close proximity to each other and with the background air being already the most polluted in the country from the zillions of cars and trucks in use every day, the the legislators in charge of air quality allow unlimited burning of wood in fireplaces and barbeques (charcoal is wood). Every home has electricity and natural gas, so there is no valid reason to use wood to heat the home or cook your food. You could think that the legislators were intentionally trying to kill their own citizens, and not be far off the mark.
Long Beach-Los Angeles is now recognized as having the most unhealthy breathing air in the country, and is slowly killing all of us.

If you thrill at the discovery of new exoplanets, hold tight. A sextuplet alien solar system has been glimpsed in exquisite detail, revealing six planets of varying mass, five of which are packed closer to one another than in any planetary system seen before.
"We think this is the biggest thing in exoplanets since the discovery of 51 Pegasi b, the first exoplanet, back in 1995," Jack Lissauer of NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, told reporters earlier this week.
The six newly found planets orbit a star dubbed Kepler-11, which sits some 2000 light years from Earth. They were glimpsed by NASA's Kepler telescope, which has been staring at the same patch of sky since its launch in March 2009.
The Kepler telescope captured periodic dips in Kepler-11's brightness, created when planets pass between the star and Earth. These "transits" allow astronomers to measure a planet's size.
But Kepler-11's inner five planets – which all orbit closer to their host than Mercury does the sun – are close enough to one another to exert gravitational tugs that continually alter the length of time it takes for each planet to orbit the star. These timing variations allowed Lissauer and a team of colleagues to estimate the planets' masses, which range from 2 to 14 times the mass of the Earth (shown in the bottom row of this image).
Planetary puzzle
The researchers then used this information to estimate the density of the innermost planets and found that all are less dense than the Earth. Some may have massive hydrogen atmospheres, they say, while others may contain significant amounts of water.
Future observations should pin down the planets' densities, which could help astronomers discern whether they formed close to or far from their present locations. Either scenario could present a challenge for planet formation models, says Phil Armitage of the University of Colorado, Boulder.
These models suggest the region close to Kepler-11 might have been hot enough to keep ice vaporised and blow away nearby gas, preventing the growing planets from capturing as much gas and ice as they seem to have.
Conversely, if the planets formed farther out, models suggest they would have exerted strong tugs on their neighbours as they migrated inwards, sending the six planets into orbits on differing planes. Yet Kepler-11's planets all seem to orbit in a single plane. "That certainly makes for a puzzle about how the system was set up," Armitage says.
Testing laboratory
Solving that puzzle could refine our understanding of how planets form. "It's a pretty big deal," says Kristen Menou of Columbia University in New York. "I think this will be one of the best laboratories for testing planetary formation theories."
The discovery of the Kepler-11 planets comes against a backdrop of recent exoplanet excitement.
Researchers just announced a fresh haul of data on exoplanets, including 54 planet candidates in the habitable zones of their stars, also captured by the Kepler telescope. And last September, the first alien planet capable of hosting life on its surface was glimpsed.
Although its existence has yet to be confirmed by further data, scientists have been using climate models to figure out whether its climate is life friendly. An even bigger prize would be the discovery of an Earth twin – a planet the size and temperature of our own.

The Only Question that Mattered in 1980: Who Shot J.R.?
For thirteen years television sets were tuned to the saga of the Ewing family and Southfork Ranch. Millions of viewers, in the United States and 95 foreign countries were engrossed in tales of greed, power and sex. The series "Dallas" invented the season ending "cliffhanger" concept, now so familiar to viewers. It was this idea that helped bring the series its' world wide appeal. No "cliffhanger" is more famous than the one ending the March 1980 season. The clip of the "shooting" of J.R. Ewing was even shown on the News segment on the BBC. In Las Vegas bets were placed on the identity of the shooter.
When aired on November 21, 1980, according to Nielsen Media Research, nearly 41.5 million households were watching, to learn "Who Shot J.R?" This is a record that stood until the "M.A.S.H" finale in 1983 drew a still-standing record of more than 50 million households, Nielsen reports.
Located in Parker, Texas, Southfork, the Ewing Ranch, is now a resort drawing 400,000 American and foreign visitors a year. A $500,000 renovation created the theme rooms familiar to viewers although the interior shots of the show were filmed in California.
"We can't change the fact that J.R. never lived here. We want guests to leave saying he would have liked to," said Sally Peavey, guide and resident historian.
The Ranch, which is located 40 minutes north of Dallas, has a rodeo arena and the Visitor's Center, which conducts guided tours. Trams carry guests on tours or to attend a chuck-wagon dinner, complete with singing cowboys, poetry and tales of the West. The onsite museum holds the actual gun used in the "shooting" along with other pieces of Dallas' lore. Larger pieces of memorabilia, like Jock Ewing's 1978 Lincoln Continental, can be seen as guests stroll the 340-acre grounds, eat in the deli or buy clothes and other items representing the Ewing mystique.
Numerous websites provide information on the show, the Ewing Mansion, Southfork Ranch and links to chat rooms where fans can still discuss the long running saga.
For those of too young to remember or have forgotten "whodunit", the culprit was, J.R.'s spurned sister-in-law, Kristen.

Baron Guy Quaden, honorary governor of the National Bank of Belgium and member of the board of directors of Byblos Bank and Byblos Bank Europe. (The Daily Star/HO)
BEIRUT: European economic recovery is on track but the eurozone countries need to push for deeper political integration to stabilize their economies once and for all, the former governor of the Belgian central bank told The Daily Star Monday.
Guy Quaden, who now serves as an honorary governor of the Belgian central bank and a board member of Lebanon's Byblos Bank, said the crisis was not a result of a weakness in the European currency, but rather in the framework governing the monetary union.
"The exchange rates of the euro vis-a-vis the U.S. dollar has been always between 1.2 and 1.5 [dollar/euro) in the last five to six years, well above its inception rate," Quaden told The Daily Star from Byblos' headquarters in Beirut's Ashrafieh neighborhood.
"The euro is a strong currency, and there was always confidence in it. But the problem was the solidity of the eurozone, and that some countries wanted to leave it," he added.
But any call to exit the monetary union is not economically sustainable for any of the members, Quaden argued. "For economically weaker countries, Greece for instance, it is not an option because reintroducing a national currency would mean a strong currency devaluation, dramatic inflation, impoverishing the population and a persistent distrust from lenders," he said.
It is also not an option for countries doing much better, he added.
"Strong economies like Germany would face the opposite if they exit the eurozone," he explained.
"A national currency would strongly appreciate, doing dramatic damage to competitiveness of such an economy."
Asked whether Europe could see the light at the end of the tunnel, Quaden said tensions within the eurozone has started to calm down and recovery was gaining steam.
This has become apparent by comparing yields of troubled countries bond's to those of Germany's bonds, which are generally considered risk-free due to the country's strong finances.
The spreads between the two have significantly diminished since they reached their peak last summer, Quaden said.
A series of measures taken by European institutions has helped restore confidence.
The European Central Bank's announcement of unlimited commitment to intervene by buying sovereign bonds when needed was one major step to reassure markets, Quaden said.
Additionally, the agreement on a new fiscal treaty, the European Fiscal Compact, which made fiscal discipline stricter, was also a major development in addition to the decision by the European Commission to transfer banking control to the ECB by next year.
Austerity measures implemented in troubled economies are also seen in a very positive light by Quaden, who is confident that such moves, if well-planned, will not backfire on European economies.
"Fiscal discipline is unavoidable but it should be intelligent. The quality and durability of the adjustments are as important as the speed of the adjustments," he said.
The monetary union, in spite of being the biggest in history, remains an incomplete structure that needs to be completed, Quaden said.
"It is the biggest monetary union but it is not the first in history. Usually when you have a monetary union, you have at the same time a political union," he explained.
"I do not say that Europe needs a system that copies American federalism, but we have to find our own version," Quaden said.
"A final solution, a fundamental one, has to mean more integration in all aspects; fiscal, monetary and political," he added.

book marketing
marketing a new book is a tough job. every year, something like
2 million boks get published
(there was a flat period in the early 00's), yet sales are slowly dropping. competition sets in ...
sometimes a book will just sell. the author, the subject, the time is just right. or a good review will help bump it. even the best of books need some marketing saavy behind them, and sometimes it looks a little quirky.
case in point, the book
by steven levitt. dubbed a "rogue economist" on the cover of the book, levitt takes you through a bunch of seemingly disconnected trends and phenomenae as seen by an economist. it's good stuff, a bit fluffy at times, but overall a good read.
now, let's face it, economists often sound like boring people. let google mine the web to help us compare: 390,000 for exciting economist, about 15,600,000 for economist. only a fraction can be called exciting. so, the publisher has to spruce it up a bit, and he's dubbed a "rogue" economist. almost makes him sound as though he's barred from meeting other economists for his radical thoughts, kicked out of professional societies and meetings, and overall a man on the run, just trying to get the world to accept his vision.
when we wrote the
openbsd book
, we had to work pretty hard to get that quote from theo. a few favors were called in, and even then it had to be cut just right to work. we had to debate where we would be placed - normal UNIX books, open source UN*X books, security - and ultimately bridged a couple of categories. i went through less of this with the
worms book
, but in the post-release marketing you can bet the phrase "first book devoted solely to the worm problem" was used a lot. still is ...
all of this because authors need to sell books, and publishers need you to buy them, and that's the job of marketing. so, sometimes you wind up with stuff like "rogue economist" and stuff.
i don't know if or when i'll write another book, i simply lack the time right now to devote to it. it's a lot of work, and i don't want to make the same mistakes i made with the two other books i made. i want to do better, and that simply requires a commitment i don't think i can make right now. that's ok, it's still an achievement to have written and published two books (and a chapter in a third), but we'll see what the future brings. maybe i'll be a "rogue scientist" or something ...

UTSA establishes HUB mentor protege team as bridge between contractors
(July 24, 2012) -- The UTSA HUB (historically underutilized business) program announces a new mentor protégé team between Alpha Building Corp. and two HUB protégés, H.J. Otis and Cosmo Electric. The HUB program will host and facilitate the relationship.
HUB vendors are minority- and women-owned businesses certified by the state.
Alpha Building Corp. is a woman-owned HUB business that will serve as a mentor to the HUB protégés. Alpha has served as a job order contractor at UTSA for more than nine years.
