Uh-oh: Barack Obama and Mitt Romney's debate agreement leaks prior to tonight's presidential debate
Some documents have been leaked that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney probably don't want the nation to see.
Time has gotten its hands on the full text of the 21-page memorandum of understanding agreed upon by the Democratic and Republican presidential candidates' campaigns for the debates this year, and it doesn't shine well on either Obama or Romney.
Among the restrictions agreed upon is the fact that audience members and moderator Candy Crowley won't be allowed to ask follow-up questions dyring tonight's presidential debate. There is also the stipulation that there will be "no TV cut-aways to any candidate who is not responding to a question while another candidate is answering a question or to a candidate who is not giving a closing statement while another candidate is doing so."
Here are some of the various rules that have to be followed during the debate, via Gawker:
- "The candidates may not ask each other direct questions during any of the four debates."
- "The candidates shall not address each other with proposed pledges."
- "At no time during the October 3 First Presidential debate shall either candidate move from his designated area behing the respective podium."
- For the October 16 town-hall-style debate, "the moderator will not ask follow-up questions or comment on either the questions asked by the audience or the answers of the candidates during the debate...."
- "The audience members shall not ask follow-up questions or otherwise participate in the extended discussion, and the audience member's microphone shall be turned off after he or she completes asking the questions."
- "[T]he Commission shall take appropriate steps to cut-off the microphone of any...audience member who attempts to pose any question or statement different than that previously posed to the moderator for review."
- "No candidate may reference or cite any specific individual sitting in a debate audience (other than family members) at any time during a debate."
- For the town-hall debate: "Each candidate may move about in a pre-designated area, as proposed by the Commission and approved by each campaign, and may not leave that area while the debate is underway."
It's worth noting that neither the Commission on Presidential Debates nor the debate moderators like Crowley were part of this agreement, Time reports. It is pretty clear from these documents that Obama and Romney want the three presidential debates and one vice presidential debate to run a certain way, and have done everything in their power to make sure that happens.

Liverpool have completed the signing of Aston Villa winger Stewart Downing for an undisclosed fee, the Anfield club confirmed on Friday evening.
The 26-year-old, who has been capped 27 times by England, becomes Kenny Dalglish's fourth summer signing following the transfers of Jordan Henderson from Sunderland, Blackpool's Charlie Adam and the acquisition of Brazilian goalkeeper Alexander Doni.
Villa confirmed earlier this week that Downing had submitted a formal transfer request and he travelled to Liverpool to discuss terms and complete a medical before signing a long-term deal at the club.

The Government of Liberia through the Ministry of Internal Affairs in collaboration with UN development agency, UNDP, WFP and UNMIL have begun a series of regional training workshop on climate change and disaster management in the country.
The training, which will bring together 10 - 13 participants from the three county capitols - Tubmanburg, Saniquellie and Zwedru, at different schedules is aimed at empowering participants with knowledge that would build their resilience to disasters and mitigate climate change effects on their lives and livelihoods.
It is also intended to create awareness of climate change, disaster risks management and the increasing link between climate change adaptation and disaster risk management (for instance, what can individuals/communities do to reduce the impacts of disaster; how can disasters be prevented?
Measures to reduce or prevent disasters are in effect climate change adaptation measures). Going forward, as most major disaster will be climate induced; it makes perfect sense to start to integrate the two concepts now
Liberia like other countries in the sub-region of West Africa has suffered from incidences of disasters that emanate from flooding, windstorm, coastal erosion, landslide, or conflict, etc.
These forms of disasters, though not on a large scale (except for the 14 years civil conflict) serve as a reminder for national government and other state actors to take measures that build the resilience of communities to disasters (key objective of the HFA).
For instance, in 2007 the Bushrod Island community was hit by a flash flood that affected over 22,000 persons, while in 2010 an entire community was washed away by sea erosion in Buchanan, Grand Bassa County. The southeastern part of Liberia continues to suffer from severe windstorm which usually leads to destruction of homes and livelihoods of community members.
Given the level of vulnerability of Liberians to disasters there is an urgent need to provide capacity building trainings and awareness raising opportunities to strengthen the resilience of community members to cope with disasters (if not preventable), when they occur.

UNC DentistrE News
February 2, 2012
Dear Friend of the UNC School of Dentistry:
Those of us in NC, or at least those of us in the Office of Advancement, are having a hard time remembering it's actually winter here! With the unseasonably warm temperatures, we haven't needed our warm winter coats for a week or so now.
It's easy to remember that it's still winter, though, when you consider what's been happening at the school. Specifically, our fourth-year D.D.S. students receiving post-D.D.S. specialization matches were notified on Match Day just a few days ago. It was an exciting day here on campus as those students received the news of where they'll be performing their specialization residencies.
In upcoming events news, be sure to watch your mail between now and the first part of March for your Best of Dentistry Weekend invitation! You'll want to RSVP early, especially since space is limited at our Best of Dentistry Gala Dinner on Friday, April 27. Five-year cycle D.D.S. Class Reunion information is also included in the invitation for those whose classes are having reunions. Our CE department will also be offering three continuing education courses that weekend - two especially for dental hygiene professionals! It's bound to be an exciting weekend, so be sure to reserve your spot as soon as you can!
We hope after our last DentistrE-news you also marked you calendars for our UNC School of Dentistry Alumni Reception at the Hinman Meeting in Atlanta on Friday, March 23 and our 18th School of Dentistry Golf Tournament scheduled for Friday, April 13 at Finley Golf Course!
Want to set up a recurring gift to the school, or maybe guarantee your name on the Dental Sciences Building Donor Wall with a $5,000 contribution? Both can be done easily. Just click here to give online or contact our office (919.966.4563 or firstname.lastname@example.com) to discuss your giving options.
As always, we thank you for your continued support and your interest in the UNC School of Dentistry!
Best regards,

By Samantha L. QuigleyAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Dec. 1, 2005 The success of joint Iraqi and coalition operations in Iraq will ensure a safe voting environment for Iraqi national elections, a senior military official in Iraq said today.
"We see great progress in our operations," Maj. Gen. Rick Lynch, Multinational Force Iraq spokesman, said at a news conference in Baghdad.
But one element of concern casts a shadow over that progress: Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi still has 15 days to try and derail the democratic process in Iraq, Lynch said.
This mission is becoming an increasing struggle for the terrorist leader, however, the general said. He cited the success of recent coalition offensive operations in Iraq and the Nov. 10 hotel bombings in Amman, Jordan, that caused backlash against the terrorist leader in his home country. Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Iraq network claimed responsibility for the attacks, spurring Jordanian protests denouncing the terrorist leader.
"He's struggling because we've taken away a lot of his munitions," Lynch said. "He's struggling because we've denied him safe havens across Iraq. He's struggling because we've taken away his freedom of movement."
Zarqawi also has lost 117 network leaders since January, Lynch noted, including his executive secretary, Abu Ubaydah, killed in October in what Lynch called "a blow for freedom."
Despite continuing insurgent activity, progress is being made in Iraq, Lynch said.
About 214,000 Iraqi security forces are trained and equipped, and the country has re-established control of its border, the general told reporters. On Nov. 30 the Iraqi defense minister declared the Iraq border with Syria at Husaybah sealed. It was a known entry point for Zarqawi and his forces, Lynch said.
During the past week, 11 car bombs exploded, 13 fewer than the preceding week. The reduction in car bombings is directly linked to joint Iraqi and coalition force operations that have turned up about 301 weapons caches in November, Lynch said, adding that that is the largest number of caches discovered since January.
Operation Tigers, an ongoing joint operation that began in Ramadi on Nov. 27, included cordon-and-search operations that resulted in the discovery of numerous weapons caches, Lynch said. Operation Iron Hammer recently started with the goal of denying Zarqawi the use of the eastern side of the Euphrates River as a safe haven, he added.
"In Kirkuk, we found the mother of all weapons caches," Lynch said, referring to a large cache discovered Nov. 27 on a tip from a local citizen. "The people of Iraq who are tired of the insurgency are turning to Iraqi security force members and saying, 'Hey, here's where they're storing their munitions.'"
Iraqi border enforcement also is beefed up and successfully patrolling the country's borders. The Border Enforcement Department now boasts 18,000 members, an increase of 3,000 since January. The addition of 170 border forts along the Iraqi border to the 58 existing in January makes the border easier to protect. Border enforcement expects to have 258 complete border forts by January, Lynch said.
The border patrol is employing technology at the border crossings, he said. A type of X-ray machine known as a Backscatter system is being used to scan cargo vehicles to detect people trying to enter Iraq by hiding in cargo.
All of these strides in security and stability are laying groundwork for an upcoming successful Iraqi national election, Lynch said.
"On the 15th of December, there will be peaceful elections in Iraq," Lynch said. "The people of Iraq will vote for a new Iraq. They're excited, and we are equally excited."

I feel I now have a second home in Skokie, Illinois. When I went to do an event there for the Skokie Kollel, last Monday, I was given the warmest welcome I've ever had. The women of the entire community packed into the beautiful kollel building. I totally enjoyed working with the rabbis who run the kollel as well as Tami & Barbra, the pair that chaired the event. They were fantastic and we have become fast friends. My assistants for food prep were Sharon Matten (a culinary celeb in her own right), Debbie and Rebbetzin Rosenberg. We worked so well together! All150 women who attended enjoyed a superb tasting, if I do say so myself and couldn't stop thanking me. I was blown away by their intense appreciation. I've been in a lot of places, folks, but I have never experienced anything like this. Listen, when your day starts at 3:30 am to catch a flight, and you spend the whole day cooking, preparing and doing a program until 10:30 pm, you really relish a word of thanks.
So you want to know what I served that evoked such praise? You can check out the entire menu here, but one of the stars was one of my favorite recipes from my new book, Quick & Kosher Meals in Minutes– Asian Chicken Salad — which was developed around a bottled dressing that I particularly like. That's a huge stretch for me because I don't go for most bottled dressings. But Asian Carrot Ginger from Wafu is different.

9th District candidates debate
Mitch E. Perry
WMNF Drive-Time News Tuesday | Listen to this entire show:
As Democrats look forward to the Congressional elections this fall, they see Floridaâs 9th District as one place where they might be able to make inroads.
That seat has been held for less than two years by Republican Gus Bilirakis of Tarpon Springs. His father, Michael, held the seat for more than two decades before that.
Two weeks from tonight, Democratic voters in the multi-country district will choose their own candidate to face the incumbent.
Today in downtown Tampa, the three candidates faced off in a respectful discussion of the issues. Former Plant City Mayor John Dicks told the audience about how he was recruited to run for the seat by the Democratic Congressional Candidate Campaign Committee.
The candidates gathered at the forum, hosted by the Democratic Professionals Council of Tampa, a group of young local Democrats celebrating their one year anniversary. There were few questions about policy differences, and more on how any of the candidates could beat Bilirakis in the fall.
Anita DePalma is the former State Director of LULAC â The League of United Latin American Citizens. She said one way that she would distinguish herself from Gus would simply to be there for her constituents.
Bill Mitchell is the 3rd Democrat in the race. Heâs an attorney and former military veteran, and speaks frequently of veterans issues.
Recently, Tampa area Democratic Congresswoman Kathy Castor introduced a bill that aims to expedite the disability claims process. In Tampa, where all of the claims for disability benefits are heard, there is nearly a two-year wait. An audience member asked the candidates what they would do, if anything, to try to speed up the process.
Bill Mitchell said the wait for disability claims for veterans is even longer.
Instead of answering the question directly, Anita DePalma countered by talking about the solvency of Social Security, and said that the problem is that not enough people pay into the entitlement program, although there doesnât appear to be much evidence of that.
Asked how he would persuade Bilirakis to debate him in the fall, John Dicks said he thought that would happen, because he says the freshman Congressman is vulnerable.
Floridaâs 9th Congressional District is one of the most unwieldy in the Tampa Bay Area. It encompasses the northern parts of Pinellas, including Clearwater, and the Gulf Coast of Pasco County, including New Port Richey. It spreads west to the eastern part of Hillsborough County.comments powered by Disqus

Kampala — The Archbishop of Bukedi Diocese the Rt. Reverend Nicodemus Okile says that he no longer recognises The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams, as head of the church because of his stance on homosexuality.
Okile said this while laying a foundation stone at All Saints church Busitema.
He blamed the western culture for promoting homosexuality.

Long-term hormone replacement therapy used to be routinely prescribed for postmenopausal women to relieve hot flashes and other menopause symptoms. Hormone replacement therapy was also thought to reduce the risk of heart disease.
Before menopause, women have a lower risk of heart disease than men do. But as women age, and their estrogen levels decline after menopause, their risk of heart disease increases. In the 1980s and 1990s, experts advised older women to take estrogen and other hormones to keep their hearts healthy.
However, hormone replacement therapy — or hormone therapy, as it's now called — has had mixed results. Many of the hoped-for benefits failed to materialize for large numbers of women. The largest randomized, controlled trial to date actually found an insignificant increase in heart disease in postmenopausal women using hormone therapy.
Still, some data suggest that estrogen may decrease the risk of heart disease when taken early in postmenopausal years:
If you're having a tough time with symptoms of menopause but worry about how hormone therapy will affect your heart, talk with your health care provider to put your personal risk into perspective. Consider these points:
Hormone therapy risks may vary depending on whether estrogen is given alone or with a progestin, and depending on your current age and age at menopause, the dose and type of estrogen, and other health risks such as your family medical history and cancer risks.
If you've already had a heart attack, hormone therapy is not for you. If you already have heart disease or you have a history of blood clots, the risks of hormone therapy have been clearly shown to outweigh any potential benefits.
Talk with your doctor about these strategies to reduce the risks of hormone therapy:
Women of all ages should take heart disease seriously. Among U.S. women, 1 in 3 deaths each year is due to heart and blood vessel disease.
Most healthy women who are within five years of menopause can safely take short-term hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms without significantly increasing the risk of heart disease. If you experience classic menopausal symptoms, including intolerable hot flashes, vaginal dryness or insomnia, talk to your doctor about how you can relieve troublesome symptoms without putting your health at risk.

1 of 1 (100%) reviewers would recommend this product to a friend
Pros: Good build quality, Quiet, looks good, flexible spin speed options, not too deep so no space problems
Cons: excruciatingly difficult to install, inlet hose kinks badly during install
"Had to replace our 10-year old Zanussi integrated machine after it died on us. Decent integrated machines are as rare as hen's teeth - just compare Which magazine's reviews of integrated and freestanding! This Baumatic machine doesn't seem at all popular in the UK: we couldn't find a single online or Which review, but we decided to take a gamble on it.
Major prob with this machine is installation. Install instructions are badly laid out, diagrams impossible to interpret because badly printed. One major prob with the UK washing machine market is there is no standardisation so you could find - as we did - that the water inlet and drain hoses are the "wrong way" around from our previous machine and this requires a lot of messing around rejigging drain pipes. Releasing the security bolts during installation is essential but they are so badly designed that unscrewing them causes them to drop inside the machine, meaning you have to unscrew the back of the machine in order to remove them- and they MUST be removed given the high speed belt drive and rotating parts in the machine. You need to exercise exceptional care when pushing the machine into the recess as the inlet hose is so puny that it kinks as soon as you look at it - totally different to our previous machine with a sturdy hose impossible to kink.
As for the machine's operation and performance, we're generally very impressed. It's got 15 different wash options although we've only used one: it's called "44" because it washes rinses and spins in just 44 minutes and it is very effective in all 3 stages.
To sum up, I'm glad we bought it because of the quick and effective wash option - but we loathed the installation problems."

Feb. 18, 2011
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - The Indiana University wrestling team ended the 2011 regular season with a sour taste, coming up short against Purdue in West Lafayette by a final score of 21-12. Four Hoosiers were able to post individual bout victories in the losing effort.
Heavyweight Ricky Alcala has made a name for himself in his first season of Big Ten competition. The UC-Davis transfer is ranked ninth nationally in the 285-pound weight class and won seven of eight matches during the conference season. Alcala is also the owner of a 27-7 overall record that includes three wins over ranked opponents.
Justin Brooks was victorious in his third consecutive match, completing his redshirt freshman season with a 4-4 mark in Big Ten action. Brooks' 5-2 decision over Camden Eppert gave IU an early 3-0 lead.
After a Purdue decision and fall in the subsequent pair of bouts, the Boilermakers led 9-3. Kurt Kinser, ranked 12th nationally, stopped the streak at 149 pounds, just missing out on bonus points with a seven-point edge (9-2) over Sam Patacsil.
The pendulum continued to swings at 157 lbs. when a Purdue upset pushed the IU deficit back six points at 12-6. But just as Kinser had, Ryan LeBlanc earned a decision to cut the Hoosier hole in half. The redshirt freshman evened his season record at 9-9, topping Kyle Mosier, 7-3.
Purdue then sent three straight ranked grapplers to the mat, each coming away with W's to secure the dual result.

Porter And Davies BC2rm
Good vibes from this tactile monitor
Since its debut in 2010, Porter and Davies' BC2 has redefined low frequency monitoring. The BC2rm is a rack mounted version of the original BC2.
"Porter and Davies' silent system works along a principal of vibration called bone conduction"
Like the BC2 and P&D's cut price BC Gigster models, the BC2rm is a tactile (silent) monitor. In the world of Porter and Davies silent doesn't mean inaudible - far from it.
Perceived sounds are usually the result of soundwaves vibrating the eardrum then travelling into the inner ear before being interpreted by the brain. Porter and Davies' system works along a similar principal of vibration called bone conduction, producing a sound that you feel and hear whilst staying physically silent.
The BC2rm consists of two components - the engine and throne. The engine is housed in a 19" rack casing with fixing holes to enable it to be slotted into a regular rack mount. Twin input sockets allow the source sound to come either directly from a bass drum mic or a mixing desk.
The four dials at the front adjust the strength of the signal in (mic level and line level) and control the power (volume) and shape (low contour) of the output. A single NL4 Speakon output socket connects the engine to the throne.
Hands On
"It's hard to describe just how connected to the kick drum you feel"
There are three designs of throne to choose from. Concealed within each are powerful transducers which vibrate on cue from the engine; initially this movement is felt but the sensation soon fades into the background. The magic of tactile monitoring then becomes apparent as the vibrations travel up the spine to the skull and become sounds.
What sets any Porter and Davies product apart from the competition is the speed and subtlety of its operation. The BC2rm operates in real time, with no discernible lag between the stroke being played and the throne responding. Every facet of the bass drum - tuning, level of attack and length of decay - is conveyed accurately.
It's hard to describe just how connected to the kick drum you feel and equally how aware you become of the contributions that your pedal foot is making to the music.
MusicRadar Rating
Well built, highly functional and good value for money if you're a pro player. Rack mountable. No discernible lag.
Expensive, but justifiably so.
The BC2rm is a ruggedly-built, road-ready tool from a company at the forefront of tactile monitoring. It has been designed for touring on a professional scale and so carries an appropriate price tag.
Country of Origin
Tactile monitor with Passive XLR mic in and mic out; line XLR socket compatible with balanced and unbalanced inputs; Round, saddle and tractor/bench throne options

Many policies and measures for improving energy efficiency now exist and continue to improve, both of a voluntary and mandatory nature, The continued development of this field of policy reflects growing acceptance of the importance of such measures in seeking to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, minimise the cost of energy services, enhance energy security and address wider environmental concerns. Estimations as to projected energy savings, emissions reductions or financial gains from energy efficiency measures are now common place. Recent examples include the November 2007 report of the United States (US) National Action Plan for Energy Efficiency Leadership Group, the European Union (EU) Energy Efficiency Action Plan, which anticipates that if energy consumption is cut by 20% by 2020, the Fourth Assessment Report (2007) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which concludes that energy efficiency measures will play a key role in mitigating the human-induced effects of climate change across many of its scenarios, for most regions and timescales
On 8 June 2008, the G8 countries, China, India, South Korea and the European Community decided to establish the International Partnership for Energy Efficiency Cooperation (IPEEC) In their scope one of the areas they want to take action to facilitate improvements is: methodologies of energy measurement, auditing and verification procedures, certification protocols and other tool to achieve optimal energy efficiency performance over the lifetime of building and industrial processes, relevant products, appliances and equipment. With this new Task the IEA DSM Agreements wants to provide products related to methodologies of energy measurements.
Evaluation is an essential component of any compliance process and an essential aspect of sound policy implementation more broadly. Evaluation plays a key role in helping to determine whether energy efficiency policy has met its goals. Some compelling reasons to evaluate energy efficiency programmes are:
How the ex-post energy savings calculations are conducted are the most important element for the quantitative evaluation of the energy savings impacts of policies and measures. Within the EU the ESD is a new stimulus to harmonise bottom-up monitoring and (in a later phase) evaluation work within the 27 Member States. In the near future European standards for energy savings will become available. But also in other countries and regions work is ongoing in this field. A broader agreement on the basic concepts, rules and system borders in IEA member states can stimulate the development of these standards on one hand and ensure global (maybe world-wide) comparability of standards for energy saving calculation on the other.
The experiences from the EU standardisation process show that most energy experts are not common with the rules on standardisation. But also that the main conducted work for standardisation is on a detailed level of appliances or components. Standardisation on a energy efficiency improvement and energy savings should start with more common understanding within the energy expert. Only if there is already a common ground on terms and definition within energy experts a next step in more official standardisation under the umbrella ot the ISO could have a reasonable chance to result in a set of standards.
In the evaluation of DSM, Energy Efficiency and Demand Response actions a number of effects can be taken into consideration. There is a need for an overall view over the several Tasks within the IEA DSM Agreement for the following groups of effects for energy, environmental impacts, costs and investment impacts on different places of the electricity system (the consumers site, the electrical systems and the general energetic system), the scale of premises (regional, national and global premises) and the scope (short and long term). Within the Kyoto commitments countries can use flexible mechanism as CDM and JI. Most of those projects calculate energy savings and resulting avoided greenhouse gas emissions. In the second commitment period the system of flexible mechanism will continue and a step forward in more standardised methods would ease the use of this mechanism.
[ Top ]
The overall aim of Task XXI is to identify basic concepts, calculation rules and systems for Energy Savings Calculations (ESC) standards. Additional a methodology should be developed to nominate and describe the several Demand Response products. Within this framework of basic concept and calculation rules also the relation to reduction of the environmental impacts in greenhouse gas emissions from energy savings should be incorporated. The Task will also explore how an by what type of organisations these standards could be use and improved to increase international comparable evaluation of policies and measures.
The proposed objectives for the Task are:
The actual research work will be carried out by a combination of the country experts, the Operating Agent, inputs from (experts involved in) standardisation bodies and from Operating Agents and reports for other relevant IEA DSM Tasks. In general the experts are responsible for identifying and obtaining information on ESC standards in their countries. The Operating Agent is responsible for mobilising inputs and comments from standardisation bodies, from other IEA Tasks, and for analysing and drawing conclusions for the information provided by the experts.
At least one but preferable two regional (Europe, North America, Asia, Pacific region) workshops will be organised. Additional to mobilise input for standardisation bodies the developed work will be presented, if possible in a form that could be used for training purposes.
The Work plan for Standardisation of Energy Efficiency Calculations will comprise four subtasks:
Subtask objectives
To identify national and regional existing energy saving calculation (ESC) standards and standards under development
To identify and asses the most relevant evaluation and monitoring reports for ESC
To identify basic concepts, calculation rules and systems.
To identify the key elements to nominate and describe Demand Response products.
Subtask Deliverable
A report summarising the most relevant guidelines and standards – national and international - on ESC, with a focus on identifying common approaches for determining savings and terminology as well as key elements to nominate Demand Response products.
Work to be carried out
The country experts will identify national standards and indicate regional standards and also what barriers exist for transforming energy savings calculations into agreed standards. As far as possible these barriers will be researched for different parties (governmental organisations, producers, consumers, scientific groups). In this process the country experts and the Operating Agent will also include definitions for DR products. The country experts, as well as the Operating Agent, will identify the most relevant evaluation and monitoring reports for ESC. They will asses these reports for use to define basic concepts, calculation rules and systems
The Operating Agent will ensure (in co-operating with the participating national experts) that the international standards will be included. He will include experiences from other Tasks within the IEA DSM Agreement, from the finalised Task XIV White certificates, Task I, Evaluation guidebook and Task XIII Demand Response Resources and ongoing Task XVI on Competitive Energy Services and Task XVIII DSM and Climate Change. He will also take care of knowledge development in other IEA Implementing Agreements; especially the ECBCS where new work is under development is for "Global Building Energy Consumption Data Benchmarking" and 4E for Efficient Electrical End-Use Equipment.
He will organise the country experts' assessment of the most relevant documents. Once all the information is collected, the Operating Agent will summarise the results and draft a report summarising the most relevant guidelines and standards on ESC and barriers to realise standards as well as key element to nominate and describe DR products. This draft report will be discussed and commented by the country experts.
Subtask objective
To draft the basic concepts, calculation rules and systems are in use in ESC and how these are transformable to (draft) standards.
To develop a methodology to nominate and describe the Demand Response products, including 'general accepted' criteria.
For existing standards or standards under preparation to identify how and why these standards are or could be used in impact evaluation for policies and measures.
To provide comments to organisations that have draft ESC standards or standards under development.
A report dealing with the basic concepts, calculation rules and systems. This report could be used for development by national and international standard organisation(s) and or comparable institutions. This report will include definitions and generally accepted evaluation criteria for Demand Response products and gives attention to reduced greenhouse gas emissions related to energy savings.
Also an overview will be presented on how existing guidelines could be utilised or modified to make results from energy savings calculation more comparable and more harmonised in the future.
A compilation report on the comments to and experiences with commenting on draft ESC standards, including reactions from the standardization organisations on comments and their views on identified barriers (from subtask 1).
By the end of the year 2009 a draft for harmonised bottom up evaluation methods is expected for the EU that countries might use for reporting the progress in National Energy Efficiency Action Plans. Some new elements will be:
By the first half of the year 2009 also a draft CEN standard for bottom-up and top-down energy savings calculations will be available for comments.
The work undertaken in Subtask 1 will result in information on ongoing work for drafting national and regional standards outside Europe.
The country experts will contribute and comment on updated versions of the report on the basic concepts, calculation rules and systems as well as on the section dealing with a methodology to nominate Demand Response products. They will give attention to the opportunities to implement the common elements in the national and regional standards for energy savings calculations and report on the (potential) usefulness of the three level approach and the harmonisation of energy savings lifetime. Related to ongoing or planned standardisation work for energy savings calculations they will consult the national standardisation bodies and – if applicable - draft comments on (selected) national standards.
The country experts will also collect information on potential 'general accepted' criteria to be included in a methodology to nominate and describe the Demand Response products.
The Operating Agent will co-ordinate the improvements of draft reports on the basic concepts, calculation rules and systems. He will take care that definitions for DR products will be compatible with relevant existing terminologies, especially the System operation and the Market operation terminology used by energy companies. For the experts' discussion on these drafts he will organise a restricted section of the IEA DSM Website.
The Operating Agent will draft comments on regional standards while the country experts will do this for the national standards. The Operating Agent will be responsible for organising the process of discussion on these drafts (using a restricted section of the IEA DSM Website) and the co-ordination of the reactions to and from the standardisation organisations.
The Operating Agent will consult the international standardisation organisations and is responsible for the co-ordination of the country experts' consultations He will also ensure that there is a good communication process with the Operating Agents for other relevant Tasks within the IEA DSM Agreement, for ESC as well as for DR definitions.
He will present preliminary conclusions from the work on international meetings to get involvement from as broader range of market organisations.
To finalise the report on the basic concepts, calculation rules and systems including related GHG emissions and Demand Response products.
To explore how the information in the report could be used as training material
To identify what organisations could be the main actor to continue the development, the maintenance and future development of these standards.
To explore to what extent the basic concepts, calculation rules and systems could be organised in such a way that (inter)national standards organisations can use these to improve international comparability.
To explore how these standards can ease international more comparable evaluations of policies and measures.
To explore how the methodology to nominate and describe the Demand Response products, including 'general accepted' criteria could be used by other IEA DSM Tasks and relevant (inter)national organisations
The final report on the basic concepts, calculation rules and systems.
A report on roadmaps along which ESC standards could be further developed, taken into account the working processes of responsible standardisation organisations, but given more attention to international comparability. The report will also give attention to improved use of the ESC standards in evaluation of policies and measures
The country experts will research, using the (draft) reports from subtask 1 and 2, the (inter)national organisations responsible for the further development of the results of the IEA work into official ESC standards, the working processes and the planning. They will asses the expected use of existing and future ESC standards in evaluation of policies and measures and meta-evaluation and/or reports. They will take into account the relations with (inter)national estimations of GHG emissions. They will consult relevant national organisation for comments to the draft methodology to nominate and describe the Demand Response products, including 'general accepted' criteria.
The experts will give input to and comments on the drafts of the final report and the report on roadmaps. They will give special attention to the potential of the draft report for use as support material for training
The Operating Agent will organise the communication with the international standardisation organisation. Two regional workshops could be organised assuming that one workshop will be hosted and one organised from the Task' budget.
The Operating Agent will finalise the report on the basic concepts, calculation rules and systems including the section on DR product. For the report he will draft the conclusions and recommendations for maintenance of ESC standards and results from discussion with country experts and relevant market parties and Operating Agents for relevant IEA DSM Tasks,
To inform experts and engage stakeholders and communicate the ongoing work in the Task on ESC standards;
To provoke the Reference manual for DR products and discuss this with other IEA DSM Tasks.
Stimulate adoption of the concepts and terms by IPEEC and other international institutions on policies, research, trade and education.

Kansas' Justin McCay looks to bring talent and firepower to the Jayhawk offense in the upcoming season
By: Brennan Keller
Perhaps one of the most shocking statistics from last year's 1-11 season was the fact that the wide receivers accounted for zero combined receiving touchdowns. Yup, you heard it right. Zero touchdowns. With the lack of talent at the receiver position last season, head coach Charlie Weis knew that he needed to hit the recruiting trail hard in pursuit of some players that could bring excitement and talent to the offensive side of the ball.
One of those players is wide receiver Justin McCay. McCay, who had to sit out last season due to NCAA transfer rules, brings that competitive edge the Kansas receivers lacked last season. McCay finished off the 2013 annual spring scrimmage with 8 receptions for 99 yards and a touchdown. McCay did much more than catch some passes though. When he was not running routes, he was out blocking the cornerbacks and cheering on his team. McCay also had the highlight of the afternoon when he caught a 47 yard pass from quarterback Jake Heaps. McCay streaked down the sideline and snagged the long pass with one hand in a play that got all the fans in attendance pumped up. This is the kind of playmaker the Jayhawks have greatly missed since Dezmon Briscoe donned a Kansas uniform along with Todd Reesing back in 2008.
Junior quarterback Jake Heaps left the scrimmaged impressed with what he saw from McCay. Heaps asserted, "as a quarterback, when you have a guy who can make plays like that, it makes you have more confidence in him. We had to keep running plays, but when I got to the sideline, I said, 'Hey, making plays like that, that's gonna make me come your way even more.'" There is no question that McCay and the rest of the receivers look much improved from last season. They run crisper routes, seem a half step quicker, and they also appear motivated to prove that their lack of success last season will not carry over to 2013. Along with a much-improved group of wide receivers, running backs Tony Pierson and James Sims (last season's leading rusher in conference play) also return for the Jayhawks. With all this in place, the Kansas football team appears eager to prove their doubters wrong and earn an invitation to a bowl game for the first time since a 42-21 victory against Minnesota in the 2008 Insight Bowl.

EZ- you are RIGHT!. We have to lose. GENO SMITH -WV #1 pick.
If we are going into next season without Vick I suggest the Eagles take a long hard look at Geno Smith. I watchwed about 100 plays and this guy reminds me of Randall Cunningham. He chooses to pass first. has a tremendous arm and can make all the throws, hangs in the pocket and has excellent vision. I dont know who said their arent any marquee QBs out there but this guy is the one. The Eagles need to lose and hope the Chiefs win. The answer is Geno Smith.
There is no way the Eagles get the number one pick, because the Chiefs are just awful. Besides Foles has done enough to at least get the opportunity to be the guy next season.
So far Foles has been improving every week and that is what you want to see as an Eagles fan. I was kind of hoping Maclin wouldn't come up with the catch for the win but of course was excited to see Foles drive the team down the field. We do have to remember that the Bucs have the 32nd ranked defense against the pass but Foles did what we hoped he could...shred them up. He made some mistakes but as long as he continues to improve overall there is no reason not to believe that the Eagles made a good choice. Love the way he steps up in the pocket and it's also nice to see him throw away the ball at times.
He has certainly earned a chance to be the guy next season. He's doing it with undrafted rookies, 7th round picks and a patchwork offensive line. 4th game a comeback win and that's not easy to come by.
You're probably right unless the Eagles either get lucky with another draft pick or there is some young up and comer in free agency (or trade) that no one knows about. As long as Foles continues to play well I will have no problem with them going with him as their starter next year but I'm not going to state that it's set in stone and if the Eagles don't want to possibly be turned down by potential coaches they shouldn't either in my opinion.
Well I'm sure Reid will play the Foles card to try and keep his job. All I know is I liked what I saw today. It wasn't
like the Kolb games when he put up those numbers. The game was on the line and the kid produced plus he put up numbers. In a city where people have been calling out coaches/players for choking and this kid doing what he did in an away game was quite an accomplishment.
I'm hoping that Lurie doesn't play the Foles card and think and say that Reid is developing the kid and they deserve Reid's last year of his contract to see what the two of them can do. Didinger still thinks it's too late and even an Eagle's winning straek here shouldn't be enough...unfortunately the decision on Reid's Eagle's career isn't up to Ray Didinger.
thats exactly what they are doing. And the bucs laid down
You don't know that. Actually if your sure than it is probably a lock they get rid of Reid at the end of the year. Why would you type that the Bucs laid down (which they didn't but the pass defense sucks)? Foles did a good job and I understand the skepticism...I'll just never understand why you want certain Eagles players to fail.
I can't see how he comes back. How many chances can
one man keep getting?
Casey Matthews dreaming.
Geno Smith will be garbage.
Ok. Goof ball. Before you run your mouth check out the throws he makes. The ones Foles cant. You love to think you have agreat QB in Foles with that vanilla offense but the games are sub playoff calibur. Foles hasnt seen a hard hitting game yet.
I have watched him plenty of times actually. He overthrows so many simple throws. And there's a difference between running a "vanilla offense" and playing to your strengths. Foles, at 6'6 can actually see over his line and his balls won't be batted down so they run more short quick passes than when they had Vick in there. Same goes for the WR screen.
Im talking about Geno Smith. Man are you bizarre
My comment was in response to you calling the Eagles' offense vanilla and I was just using Vick as an example. And yes, I am quite bizarre.
Really? wow if you were the Eagles GM you would run this franchise into the ground. Nobody in this draft is a sure fire pick. So your willing to rebuild your team around Geno Smith? LOL.
Now I understand why Lurie force feeds Eagles fans. He can shove any kind of garbage down their throats and they say it tastes good. This is funny.
ST NICK ALL THE WAY!! Can't wait to pick up key defensive players in the draft, bowe or Jennings in the off season then… SUPERBOWLLLLL
smih got all the pistures and the media love hime but he is a sefish ballplayes such as vince young and will bust in the nfl
Fundamental breakdowns and turnovers equals bad coaching. Bye Reid.
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
I guess there was a reason for Bryce Brown not being used as RB in college. Fumble fumble fumble fumble... refused to grab the ball hoping to avoid the hits that were coming.
[not displayed: comment from locked account]
Eagles are so bad its not ven funny. And the answer is dont pay Patterson. Joke.
Hollywood I was watching your boy today. I have to say I wasn't all that impressed with him.
Who cares about a no name bowl game . We wont have a shot at him anyway. He is going to KC. I think Vick might win today and stay on a restructured contract. I sure hope so because next season could be real painful. Teams dont "rebuild" anymore. NFL player lifespan too short and the fans in big markets demand more. I do nt care who coaches if Eagles throw garbage on the field with no effort the stadium will empty out again.
Lots of work needs to be done, but fans understand how bad Reid has made this team. No Reid and Vick and I can deal with a few more lean years.

Full text not available from this repository.
Background: Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement has recently been introduced and is under investigation in humans. This technique is, however, limited to patients with a right ventricular outflow tract that does not exceed 22 mm in diameter. We report our experience of off-pump pulmonary valve replacement using a hybrid approach in animals with large right ventricular outflow tracts.Methods: Eight ewes were included in the protocol and were equally divided into 2 groups. A left thoracotomy was first performed, and the main pulmonary artery was banded by using 2 radiopaque rings with a diameter of 18 mm that allowed for further pulmonary valve replacement. We then intended to implant a valved stent either percutaneously (group 1) or through a transventricular approach (group 2). All animals were killed after valve implantation. The operation allowed the pulmonary diameter to be reduced from 30 to 17.6 mm.Results: The right ventricular pressure did not significantly increase after reduction of the pulmonary artery diameter (25 vs 36 mm Hg). Subsequent pulmonary valve replacement through a percutaneous or a transventricular approach was always possible without any requirement for extracorporeal circulation. All devices were successfully delivered inside the pulmonary artery banding and were functioning perfectly at early evaluation.Conclusions: Implantation of a pulmonary valve is possible in ewes through a hybrid approach when the right ventricular outflow tract exceeds 22 mm in diameter. This involves both surgeons and interventionists and allows for a staged procedure in which the valvulation is performed percutaneously or, for a combined hybrid approach, in which the valve is implanted off pump transventricularly during the same operation.

Jim Giles reports that analysts at the computer security company McAfee were instrumental in uncovering the scareware marketing ploys that got Innovative Marketing executives into such trouble (27 March, p 38). One would have thought that the experience would have prompted legitimate security companies to ensure their own policies were spotless. However, last year McAfee and Symantec were both fined over auto-renewal clauses buried in their terms of service.

This spoiled bride can literally have whatever she wants from her parents. A kept daughter, Amanda already has oodles of designer items and the wedding dress simply needs to top that. What Amanda wants in this case is a custom gown worth $30,000.
Considering this is a bride who may have penguins wearing bowties at her reception, a lavish dress doesn't seem all that insane in comparison.

Phone service on Folly Beach will be curtailed for about two hours Thursday night because of bridge construction, according to text messages sent out to residents today.
Work on the new bridge will affect an AT&T phone line between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., town officials said.
The work could knock out some cell phones and land-line calls outside the island for those two hours. An emergency network will allow 911 calls to be made.

These are the upscale cousins of the yard sale. They are usually well organized by a pro who has been hired to liquidate the possessions of a deceased person. Since I'm on the hunt for vintage clothing and jewelry, and my husband collects rare books, we like buying from dead people. These two-or-three-day events can be pricier than ordinary yard sales, so I tend to go on the last day, when things are usually half-off.
I walked into one such sale and they had a basket of sunglasses for $5 each. The lenses were scratched-up and useless, but the frames were Fendi, Armani, Prada, and the like. I bought them all, and had the lenses replaced with my prescription. Clever, yes?

Great story Btles, and so glad the experiment is still going good for you. You're right, even though you'd swear people would know what you had done, surprisingly most don't pay attention to stuff like this. They think "something else" is different or don't think anything at all if they haven't seen you in a while.
For those that haven't seen Btles transformation, these are his full face before/after shots, it really did cut a lot of years off his appearance & I think coloring his beard at the same time was a great way to divert attention:

- Category: Smitty: Monday Morning Quarterback
The hits keep coming in this week's Injury Cavalcade...
The Week 7 Injury Cavalcade
Alas, injuries are an unfortunate part of football, and they do tend to have an impact on our pretend game. Here are some notable injury updates, and how they may affect your decision making process this week.
Blaine Gabbert (JAX): Out
Blaine is still dealing with a hamstring injury and could be out for a while. Keep your distance.
Thad Lewis (BUF): Probable
Lewis has a sprained foot, but has practiced without limitations this week, and should start on Sunday.
Jake Locker (TEN): Doubtful
Jake is back at practice with the hip thing, but is still quite limited and will likely not suit up this Sunday.
Matt Schaub (HOU): Questionable
Schaub injured his leg against the Rams and did not return. He is trying to rehab the injury, and is currently listed as questionable. It could go either way at this point.
Michael Vick (PHI): Questionable
Vick injured his hamstring in New York two weeks ago and has been limited in practice this week. His status is still somewhat murky.
Running Backs:
Steven Jackson (ATL): Out
Jackson has a lingering hamstring injury, and did not practice Wednesday. He will miss yet another game this week, and possibly beyond.
Brandon Jacobs (NYG): Questionable
Jacobs is nursing a hamstring injury, but should be fine for Monday night.
Marshawn Lynch (SEA): Probable
Lynch missed some practice this week with a hip thing, but is expected to play on Thursday night.
DeMarco Murray (DAL): Doubtful
Murray injured his knee against the Redskins and has yet to practice this week. He will almost certainly not play this week, and his status for beyond is uncertain.
Jason Snelling (ATL): Probable
Snelling appears to have recovered from a concussion, and practiced in full Wednesday. He has been upgraded to probable, and should play on Sunday.
C.J. Spiller (BUF): Questionable
Spiller did not practice Wednesday due to the ankle, but should be fine for Sunday.
Zac Stacy (STL): Questionable
Stacy is listed as questionable with injured ribs, and did not practice Wednesday. However, he played with the injury last week and should be fine for Sunday.
James Starks (GB): Out
Starks has been ruled out again for Sunday with a knee injury.
David Wilson (NY): Out
Wilson will avoid surgery on his injured neck, but could miss up to four weeks.
Wide Receivers:
Danny Amendola (NE): Questionable
Danny was concussed against the Saints, and has not practiced this week. It does not look good for Sunday.
Justin Blackmon (JAX): Questionable
Blackmon is dealing with a groin/hamstring dilemma, and missed practice Wednesday. He should play, but is questionable at this time.
Randall Cobb (GB): Out
Cobb injured his knee in Baltimore, and has been placed on injured reserve, although he could conceivably return later in the year. Tough break.
Julian Edelman (NE): Questionable
Julian has been limited this week with a thigh injury, but should play on Sunday.
Larry Fitzgerald (ARI): Probable
Fitz has been limited this week with the hamstring, but will be out there Thursday night.
Santonio Holmes (NYJ): Doubtful
Holmes is still dealing with the hamstring issue, and will likely miss at least one more game, perhaps more.
Andre Johnson (HOU): Questionable
Andre still has the shin thing, and has been limited in practice. However, he played last Sunday, and should be good to go this week.
Calvin Johnson (DET): Questionable
Calvin returned Sunday against the Browns after a one game absence. He is still limited, but will very likely play this week.
Steve Johnson (BUF): Questionable
Johnson is still limited with the lower back issue, and his status for Sunday is unclear at the moment.
James Jones (GB): Questionable
Jones has a knee thing, and missed practice Wednesday, but could still play on Sunday if the knee improves later this week.
Eddie Royal (SD): Questionable
Royal was knocked out of Monday night's game with a toe injury, and missed practice Wednesday. His status for Sunday is unclear at this time.
Cecil Shorts (JAX): Questionable
Cecil injured his right shoulder early in Denver and did not return. Shorts claims he might play on Sunday, but that seems unlikely at this point.
Roddy White (ATL): Questionable
Roddy is dealing with a left hamstring injury, and has missed some practice this week. This does not bode well for Sunday.
Mike Williams (TB): Questionable
Williams missed the Philly game last week with the hamstring injury, and has been limited in practice this week, but is expected to play on Sunday.
Tight Ends:
Jimmy Graham (NO): Questionable
Jimmy injured his foot in the fourth quarter of the Patriots game, but he should return in two weeks after the Saints bye.
Rob Gronkowski (NE): Questionable
Gronk still has the back and forearm thing happening, and has been limited at practice. The wait may continue through another week.
Marcedes Lewis (JAX): Questionable
Lewis is still dealing with a calf injury, but may suit up this Sunday.
Zach Miller (SEA): Probable
Miller is back from the hamstring injury and has practiced in full this week. He is looking good for Thursday night.
Greg Olsen (CAR): Questionable
Olsen is currently in a walking boot, and did not practice Wednesday. His status is uncertain, but it does not look good for Sunday at the moment.
Tony Scheffler (DET): Doubtful
Tony has been concussed, and will probably not play again this week.
Not one kicker this week. Oh well.
Well, that is all for now. Until next time, denizens of Fantasyland. Remember, fortune favors the bold.
