Northeastern part of Italy hit by strange shapes of hail grains
Filed Under: World | Posted: 07/11/2007 at 3:39AM
Comments | Region: Italy
In the hours between Monday, July 9th and Tuesday, July 10th, 2007 a heavy and long hailstorm fell down in the North-Easter part of Italy, it hit especially the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia in the areas of Udine and Gorizia.
The weather phenomenon is not unusual for the zone, but the shocking facet of the event is that the hail had very strange shapes; in fact the experts of the Osmer, the Osservatorio Meteorologico Regionale (which can be translated as Regional Weather Observatory) has obtained data which revealed the hail grains had a diameter of the size of about 6 centimeters and which were incredibly disk-shaped, such as a sort of doughnuts and flapjacks.
The experts of the Italian Observatory explained that a mix of three contemporaneous decisive factors caused this strange phenomenon: the abundance of water vapour in the lower atmosphere, a lot of wind in altitude and the range (large variance of temperatures) between the lower and the upper atmospheric layers.
All these components favoured the formation of big hail grains which ruined a wide area of harvest-fields.

Auction service sites flow on the NetAugust 16, 1999
As previously reported, the deal marks one of the first times the leading online auction house has teamed with one of the auction service sites. Andale's counters, offered by its recently acquired Honesty.com division, track the number of times buyers view a particular auction listing and have proved popular with eBay sellers.
About 1.7 million eBay listings use Honesty.com counters, said Andale chief executive Munjal Shah. Shah said he expects that number to double as a result of the deal, which will go into effect Sept. 25.
"We believe counters are the gateway service," Shah said. "They introduce you to the merchants that will have the desire to consume other auction management services."
Shah declined to give the financial details of the deal, saying only that the agreement was "mutually beneficial," with the net cash flow from it being "equal." eBay representatives did not immediately respond to calls.
Andale's deal with eBay comes two months after Andale merged with Honesty.com. Andale offers services such as image hosting for auction items and premade templates that help sellers list items for sale. Unlike its counters, which it offers free, Andale charges transaction fees for many of its other services.
Andale's counters will be integrated into eBay's "Sell Your Item" area as part of a three-year deal between the two companies. Sellers will be able to get the counters, which are already available directly through Honesty.com and Andale, for free from any of the three sites.
Andale is one of a number of auction service sites that has sprouted up as online auctions have become more popular. Andale's competitors include AuctionWatch.com, GoTo Auctions and Auctionworks.
San Jose, Calif.-based eBay offers a number of similar services for its members and has increasingly sought partners to broaden its offerings. Earlier this year, the company teamed with banking giant Wells Fargo to launch Billpoint, an online person-to-person payment system. Internet Pictures will soon host auction images for eBay sellers for free under a deal announced in April.
eBay has had a rocky relationship with many of the auction service companies. The company sued Bidder's Edge last year, charging that Bidder's Edge's auction search illegally trespassed on eBay's site, violated its copyright and trademarks, and slowed its service for members. Ruling in eBay's favor, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction against Bidder's Edge's service.
eBay has also jousted with AuctionWatch over a similar auction search service.
"eBay's not been super-friendly to this whole class of companies," Shah said. "So this is a real shift."

USDA working on farm bill rules, regulationsPassing a new farm bill took more than two years. Working out details, particularly ones involving livestock disaster programs, won't take as long, says Aaron Krauter, the executive state director of the North Dakota Farm Service Agency.
By: Jonathan Knutson, Agweek
Passing a new farm bill took more than two years.
Working out details, particularly ones involving livestock disaster programs, won't take as long, says Aaron Krauter, the executive state director of the North Dakota Farm Service Agency.
Still, farmers and ranchers will need patience, Krauter says.
"It's going to take a period of time to get all those rules and regulations written," he says. "The ones that will happen the fastest are the livestock disaster programs. We're going to see those enacted really quick. I hate to put a date to it."
Though President Barack Obama has signed the farm bill into law, the U.S. Department of Agriculture must work out details. That process has begun, Krauter says.
Among the livestock disaster programs he cites as strong candidates for speedy approval are the livestock indemnity program, or LIP; the livestock forage disaster program, or LFP; and the emergency assistance for livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish program, or ELAP.
LIP compensates ranchers for weather-related livestock losses. LFP compensates ranchers for grazing losses. ELAP provides emergency assistance to cover losses from adverse weather, including blizzards.
A devastating blizzard in October 2013 hammered livestock in the western Dakotas, focusing even more attention on the federal livestock disaster programs.
The programs, which expired on Oct. 1, 2011, need to be updated. "But for the most part, those things are written already," which should boost their enactment, Krauter says.
Enactment of disaster livestock programs also could be accelerated because USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack has some flexibility in pushing them through to an earlier start date, Krauter says.
Important ag agency
Virtually all farmers and ranchers on the Northern Plains have dealings with the Farm Service Agency, an arm of USDA that's involved in disaster, commodity, conservation and farm loan programs, among many other things.
Krauter, once a farmer and Democratic state legislator from Regent, N.D., had led the North Dakota FSA since August 2009. Obama picked him for the job, which is filled by political appointment.
Most farmers on the Northern Plains also have dealings with the Risk Management Agency, an arm of USDA that administers the federal crop insurance program.
The RMA regional office in Billings, Mont., referred questions to RMA headquarters in Washington, D.C. John Shea, an RMA spokesman, tells Agweek that his agency doesn't have any comment yet on implementation of the new farm bill.
March 15 is the deadline for buying or modifying crop insurance for most spring-planted crops.
Farmers need to remember the deadline again this year, Krauter says.
Following developments
The USDA will publish its proposed farm bill regulations in the Federal Register, and ag producers will be able to comment on the proposals, Krauter says.
The Federal Register, sometimes described as the "daily newspaper of the federal government," is a legal newspaper published every business day. It contains federal agency regulation and proposed rules and public notices, among other things.
More information: www.federalregister.gov.
Ag producers who want to learn about implementation of the new farm bill can sign up for FSA's electronic newsletters, Krauter says.
The newsletters come from the county, state and federal levels.

West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority
Centro, publicly branded as Network West Midlands, is the public body responsible for public transport services in the West Midlands county in England.
Policies and budgets are set by the West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority (WMITA), formerly known as the West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority (WMPTA). The Authority has 27 representatives appointed from the seven West Midlands metropolitan district councils (ten from Birmingham, three each from Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall, and Wolverhampton, and two from Solihull).[1]
Following a reorganisation in 2006, the Transport Authority and Executive are, for many purposes, a single entity.

Centro's activities include:[2]
- Subsidising, and seeking government subsidy for, some remunerative bus, train and tram services which it considers socially necessary.
- Providing public transport street furniture, bus stops and shelters, passenger information and bus stations. Bus stops are owned and maintained by Centro. There are bus stations at Wolverhampton, Walsall, Dudley, Merry Hill, Wednesbury, West Bromwich, Bearwood, and Coventry, plus several large interchanges (such as Cradley Heath).[3] Timetable and real time electronic information is usually provided.
- Administration of concessionary fares, and funding the Ring-and-Ride door to door service for the elderly and disabled, operated by West Midlands Special Needs Transport.
- Operating multi-operator travel pass arrangements.
- Planning facilities and improvements, such as railway stations, park and ride, bus lanes, and the Midland Metro. Park and ride has been a priority for Centro, with 6,700 free parking spaces provided at rail stations.
Following the 1968 Transport Act, the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive was established on 1 October 1969 to operate and coordinate public transport in a large part of central England[citation needed] (the West Midlands Passenger Transport Area) including the large West Midlands conurbation which included the cities of Birmingham and Wolverhampton as well as the Black Country.
Policy for the Executive was set by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority, which was formed at the same time. The PTA included elected representatives from councils in the Passenger Transport Area.
On its formation in 1969 the PTE acquired the vehicles and other assets of the municipal bus fleets of Birmingham, Walsall, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton. The former Birmingham City Transport was by far the largest constituent part of the combined fleet, and a modified version of that operator's blue and cream livery was adopted by the PTE. The ex-Birmingham assets became 'South Division', with the others forming the Walsall-based 'North Division'. The buses were subsequently known as Wumpty buses, in reference to the WMPTE name.[4]
Although it was tasked with planning and coordinating bus and rail transport in the Passenger Transport Area, the Executive's activities in its early years were largely confined to partially integrating the inherited municipal bus operations. Much of the Passenger Transport Area was not served by PTE buses, and the Executive had minimal involvement in operation and planning of railway services.
In the West Midlands conurbation many bus services continued to be run by the Midland Red bus company. This was considered undesirable by the PTE, so it entered into negotiations to partly buy them out. On 3 December 1973, there was a transfer of assets and services between the Midland Red and the Executive involving routes that operated wholly (or almost wholly) within the proposed West Midlands county.[5] By April 1974, the PTE's fleet numbered around 2,600 vehicles.[6]
Railway services[edit]
In the mid 1970s the Executive began to take a more active interest in the development of local railway services, but their operation remained in the hands of British Rail. The Cross-City line, implemented in 1978, was a joint BR/WMPTE project, but modest in scope compared to Merseyrail's Loop and Link or the Tyne & Wear Metro.
In the 1980s, WMPTA/WMPTE decided to restore rail services through Snow Hill station. The two-stage restoration process, completed in 1995, did not include the Wolverhampton Low Level line, which was reserved for the Midland Metro.
Revised operating area[edit]
The 1972 Local Government Act led to the creation, on 1 April 1974, of the West Midlands metropolitan county. As a result, WMPTE's operating area was adjusted to match that of the new county (although it continued to operate a handful of out-of-county services).
At the same time, the PTE took over a fifth municipal bus fleet, Coventry, which became its 'East Division'. The PTA was abolished, and its role taken over by the newly established West Midlands County Council.
When the County Council was abolished in 1986, a new Passenger Transport Authority was established, with membership drawn from the metropolitan district councils.
Bus deregulation[edit]
As a result of the 1985 Transport Act, bus services across Great Britain were deregulated. This resulted in the transfer of the bus services to a separate legal entity, West Midlands Travel Limited (WMT),[7] which took over the bus assets and services of the WMPTE on 26 October 1986.
WMT remained in public ownership under the West Midlands Passenger Transport Authority until 1991, when it was sold to its management and employees.[8]
Centro is funded by a levy from the seven West Midlands metropolitan districts.[2]
In the early 1990s WMPTE adopted the corporate name of Centro. When Central Trains operated trains in the area, Class 150s were painted in a green Centro livery. Following the franchise passing to London Midland and the introduction of Class 172 rolling stock, this has been phased out.
The name Network West Midlands was used for a rebranding of the existing bus and train service from 2005 onwards, based on the premise that survey information had indicated that more people would use public transport if a strong brand was identifiable. Promotion of the brand has included television advertising, and a Youtube video.[9]
Following on from this, Centro's own corporate identity was reworked. Under the Local Transport Act 2008, WMPTA has been renamed West Midlands Integrated Transport Authority.
Plans are in place to retire the Centro and Network West Midlands brands and rename the authority Transport for West Midlands. [10]
Key projects[edit]
New Street railway station[edit]
Centro has backed the Gateway Plus project.[11]
High-speed rail[edit]
In August 2009 Centro backed construction of new railway in the West Midlands area for use by High Speed 2 trains, which would allow existing lines to have "better and more frequent local services".[12]
Midland Metro[edit]
Midland Metro Line One, is owned by Centro and run under concession by Travel Midland Metro. It opened in May 1999. An extension through the city centre of Birmingham is due to open in 2015.[13]
Bus rapid transit[edit]
Plans are in place for a new network of 'Sprint' services.[14]
Centro is "committed to sustainable forms of transport which benefit the environment and help to reduce global warming. It is especially important when you consider that road congestion on the West Midlands' busy roads costs regional businesses more than £2.3 billion a year." Centro has a comprehensive green charter and action plan for the environment and is a full signatory of the UITP Charter for Sustainable Development.
In addition, the award winning Letzgogreen (sic) website, uses cartoon figures to help school pupils and teachers learn about the benefits of sustainable transport.
Each operator has its own ticket range. One operator's ticket is not usable on another company's service. Network West Midlands tickets are valid across the entire network, on any operator involved in the 'n' scheme.
nBus tickets are valid on almost all operators in the county, and are available in different travel areas, or across the whole county. Tickets may be purchased with validity ranging from one day to a year.[15] Metro travel may be added onto nBus passes.
nTrain passes are valid on all local train services within the Network West Midlands zonal rail map, or to select out-of-county stations in the Birmingham travel-to-work metropolitan area.
Swift is the West Midlands' multi-modal, multi-operator smart travel card, similar to the Oyster card scheme in London. Rather than being a single card, it is a range of passes and cards (including contactless payments) that share a common system and brand name. Introduction began in 2012, with a phased rollout estimated to be completed by the end of 2015 when the system is rolled out across the local rail network, as part of rail devolution in the West Midlands county.[16] Bus operators slowly began to accept the scheme during this roll out; National Express West Midlands currently do not accept pay-as-you-go Swift cards.
The Integrated Transport Authority and earlier Passenger Transport Authority have used committee structures, the form of which has changed over time. Membership is normally a subset of the full 27-member Authority. In March 2010, extant Committees were listed[17] as:
- Transport Strategy (15 councillors) - "responsible for setting the policies and strategies of Centro"
- Business Improvement (12 councillors) - "responsible for monitoring of performance management process and the continuing improvement of its processes, structures and cultures"
- Pension Fund (7 councillors) - "responsible for the proper administration of the Authority's Pension Fund"
- Standards (6 councillors and 2 "independent co-opted members") - "responsible for promoting and maintaining high standards of conduct by members of the Authority"
- PTA Urgency [Sub-Committee] (at 10 March 2010, described as 'PTA', not 'ITA', on the Centro website, 5 councillors) - "to consider any matter of urgent business that cannot wait until the next scheduled meeting of the Authority"
- Bus Shelter Appeals [Sub-Committee] (6 councillors) - "responsible for considering appeals against the siting of bus stops and shelters".
The Integrated Transport Authority has seven Transport Users' Forums covering the district areas of Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton. Public participation is available through Transport Users' Forums, which "meet on average every two months at a local venue" in the 7 district areas, and allow submission of views to the Transport Authority via the Transport Strategy Committee.[18]

When you try to explain grep to a typical Windows user, you usually have
to spend some time explaining other things like command lines, standard
output and input, and pipes first. There are similar issues in various
GUI environments, and your question makes me think your vocabulary is
part of the problem here. (I got started using linux as much because I
wanted to understand its paradigms as because it is Free.)
A Calc file is a "Spreadsheet"... spreadsheets are collections of items of
type "Sheet". Sheets contain "Cells". A "Range" is a group of one or
more (possibly non-contiguous) cells. This last point was tricky for me
to grasp... to specify a particular cell you use syntax that is general
enough to specify a range, so many things you might think of doing to
cells are actually done to ranges with cells treated as a subset. A "Name"
is a syntactic shorthand for a range.
> is there a way to define named constants in OO so I don't have to put
> hbar in the sheet itself?
... when you say "sheet", the answer is too easy: put the named range in
another sheet in the same spreadsheet. But given the terminology you are
using, some other points seem worth making:
a) there is no supported mechanism for defining named constants in this
computing paradigm (modelled after Excel)... the official mechanism for
making "pi" available is to call the "PI()" function.
you can create your own functions written in StarBasic if this approach
appeals to you.
b) It is possible to reference cells in other spreadsheets, but
prone to breaking if you move the spreadsheet from its original directory.
c) in reference to "hiding" things... you can also set the height of a row
or the width of a column to zero if it is just an issue of appearance.

|Why are you running for school board?
|I believe that education works and want to see it work for all.
|Describe the top three educational challenges your district will face in the coming school year and explain your strategies to overcome those challenges.
For This district It is fore front this year and we need to make sure all of the community understand what that really means for all.
|Budget and Finances
As we all struggle with this economy so do our schools and having a school system at the bottom for money spent on education. We need to stay on top of being able to address the need of our schools and our students.
|being able to attract and retain quality school personel. and again that goes to fiances. if we value our schools as a state we need to step up and see that we can attract the best and brightest staff for our kids.
|What spending issues in your district's budget do you challenge and what would you do instead?
|the issues of utilities and transportation. as we face these issues how do we still provide the best education. when our money is being drained in matters such as these. IT is a challenge to make it all work.
|While school districts cannot advocate an override, what can be done to help market an override for districts that have had recent defeats?
|continue to prove to your community your responsibilty of managing your budget and keeping your achievement up. also to help community members that live in the schools communities understand that the better their local schools are the better their communities and real estate values stay up regardless of the fact you have children that attend these schools. their support is very valuable.
|What effect has the emphasis placed on high results on the AIMS test had on your district, schools and personnel? Do you think it should be a high school graduation requirement?
|Aims brings high standards accross the state, but the constant changes and lack of timley results make it very difficult to admin. For High schools sometimes as you receive students new to the state or country. you have only 4 years to get these students up to speed. to many inconstancies. making a one test a graduation requirement takes away from all it takes to graduate a student. needs to be better worked.
|What role should schools play in issues such as sex education and preventing alcohol/drug abuse and teen suicide?
|as a district GUHSD has many programs in place to address these issues. All schools face these problems. you just address them as they arise. regardless if it is the schools or the families. we all try and address lifes challenges.
|Should more schools in your district consider requiring uniforms or more standardized dress? Why or why not?
|for GUHSD all of our communites have their own personalities and we believe that it should be dealt with at a local level not that a district mandate.
|What should your district do if anything to compete with charter schools, private schools and neighboring school districts? What should your district do to boost student enrollment?
|as a district that believes that all students can learn we continue to provide quality programs and quality personel
|Are there any particular programs or programs in the curriculum that you'd like to see changed? Please explain.
|no really. we just need to stay on top of how our needs change and need to carefully decide how that looks. We need to address all levels of education.
|Are you satisfied with the performance of the superintendent and overall district leadership?
|I'm always proud of GUHSD. we currently have a new supt. and leadership.
|Are you satisfied with the technology available to teachers and students in the district? If so, explain. If not, what specific technology would you support?
|yes our technology is always moving forward and that needs to be taken in stride because that also includes the time and money it costs and the time to get your staff up to speed. it all takes time. also trying to set old building with new items is sometimes more of a challenge than you realize. yes I support technology but at a reasonable pace.
|How do you feel about year-round schools?
|calanders are always a challenge. right now traditional works for GUHSD.if schools are spotty in calanders at a high school level it has many challenges of its own.
|Do you feel your district sufficiently communicates with parents and the community? If not, how would you improve that communication? How can you get the community more involved in schools?
|communication is always a work in progress. I believe that this district does well but as any challenge goes it can alway improve. When you have a public school system you have to address all areas and it sometimes proves to be always something to work on but I think they do well.
|If redistricting is an issue for your school district on the November ballot, what do you think about the issue? Are you in favor or opposed? Why?
|as a district the position is to oppose the issue to do that. To say as one person is not a decision that one makes on your own as a board member you are one of a team of 5.

Not the hostel I was expecting. Rooms on various floors of a buildiing, locked in the floor as well as our room whicih was good security but if there was a fire we would have been crispy critters in seconds. No reception for help or guidance, my mobile was stolen in Madrid so I had no way to contact anyone, who were off site. The address wasn't the one advertised and if it hadn't been for a male groiup also waiting I would have been left strandled.

So, I made the markup I want and I made it responsive to resizing (which took some work). However, I can't figure out how I prevent the text on the right (.feature_content) from disappearing below the container when I resize. I feel as if this must be a simple change but one I have not yet been able to identify:
Why do you have position: absolute on both the .feature-content and .subpage-wrap?
if your not adverse to using jQuery [fittextjs](http://fittextjs.com/) is a good plugin and @chriscoyier has a great [blog](http://css-tricks.com/viewport-sized-typography/) which talks about viewport width and height if your after a css3 method i cannot think of any fallback methods other than jQuery though.
@Melindrea I have position:absolute on .feature_content to make sure the image (which sits inside .feature_content) always matches the height of the parent div. I have position:absolute on .subpage-wrap because this is the div around the menu, and I always want the menu to be at the bottom of this div while still remaining in front of the image – if I set it to relative it goes below the image.
@unasAquila fittextjs doesn't seem to be a solution in this situation. Unless I'm misunderstanding the blog post that doesn't realy address the situation.
We could change some of the DIVs to relative and incorporate a matching div height code for .feature_content and feature_inner but I can only find the appropraite jquery for DIV ID's, not classes. Can anybody help with that? :-)
It would probably work best if the jQuery was added to a markup like this: http://codepen.io/anon/pen/fEiem

Tower of Babble
Jewish Ethics
and Social Justice:
A Guide for the 21st Century
By Shmuly Yanklowitz
Derusha Publishing, 344 pages
In the increasingly crowded field of Jewish social justice, Rabbi Shmuly Yanklowitz has carved out a niche for himself as a Modern Orthodox crusader. While studying for his ordination at Yeshivat Chovevei Torah in the Bronx, he helped found Uri L'Tzedek, an Orthodox social-justice organization that claims "Torah values" as its inspiration and "combating suffering and oppression" as its primary objective. He and his organization made waves with their advocacy for undocumented workers at Agriprocessors, the Iowa kosher meat supplier raided by the federal government in 2008 for employing almost 400 illegal immigrants.
Since then Uri L'Tzedek has focused on an assortment of labor-related causes. Yanklowitz, however, has loftier ambitions. Not only is he a self-proclaimed "global social-justice educator," but a "moral philosopher…by disposition" and "developmental psychologist…by training." Only 31 years old, Yanklowitz has served as the director of Jewish life at the UCLA Hillel, where he has started yet another Jewish non-profit. The Shamayim V'Aretz Institute, its website tells us, promotes "animal welfare activism" as well as the heretofore untouched cause of "kosher veganism." His activist imagination, it seems, has no limits.
Jewish Ethics and Social Justice, his first book, is his attempt to convey that imagination to the broader public. He explains his modus operandi as "applying Jewish values and law to the most pressing contemporary moral issues of our time," and the book's as determining how "our traditional Jewish ethics translate into contemporarly Jewish social justice requirements." In other words, he hopes to employ "Jewish values" in the service of "sustainable and systemic social change for the most vulnerable in our society."
Yanklowitz says the essays that make up the book are "devoid of overly extensive analysis and apologetics," and the first chapter, "A Vision for Street Torah," amply justifies this disclaimer. He urges observant Jews to eschew both liberalism and conservatism because, in his words, "we need more radicals!" These staid ideologies have little impact on societal change whereas radicalism helps us "win in the streets"—though where these "streets" are he does not say. Yanklowitz vacillates between defining them as the marketplace of ideas or present-day circumstances. Nor does he fully define radicalism. In fact, his attempt to do so only deepens the confusion. Being a genuine radical, to him, means "ensur[ing] authenticity…with a personal relationship to Torah, with a self-identity, that transcends the comforts of passive rhetoric and partisan identity escaping the self-referential and attempts to resolve complex tensions without proper recourse to dialogue." Though it is difficult to extract any meaning from this muck of words, the message is, essentially, that we should use Torah to address contemporary social problems.
Yanklowitz's writing becomes clearer once he turns to concrete policy questions, but his ideas remain tissue-thin. His discussion of ObamaCare provides a perfect example. He expresses genuine surprise over the very existence of opposition to it. As he recounts, he was certain that "if the secular state was championing an issue that speaks to our deepest religious communal values, there could only be cause for celebration." He cannot register why anyone would reject a plan that "help[s] America become a society that can heal all of its sick." It's worth mentioning that he may be the only advocate for ObamaCare who believes the plan could achieve that ambitious goal; not even the president himself would make such a broad claim.
Yanklowitz, however, views ObamaCare as the realization of a biblical and rabbinic mandate. Disagreements on health-care reform should not blind us to Judaism's unambiguous position on this issue, he argues. If we do not support Obama's reforms, we have abandoned Torah's values; specifically, we violate the biblical precept of "'do not stand by the blood of your neighbor!" We would also ignore numerous rabbinic sources obligating us, as well as government, to provide medical services to the sick. Thus Yanklowitz argues that Orthodox Jews must collaborate with the Jewish Council for Public Affairs, the United Jewish Communities, and the National Council of Jewish Women—groups that vocally supported the president's plan. The biblical imperative to "Choose life!" demands that we do so. Opposing the president is a choice for death or, as Yanklowitz implies, a choice to become party to bloodshed.
Notably missing here is a discussion of means—that is to say, exactly how we apply this divine mandate to our particular situation. Yanklowitz believes that the biblical and rabbinic sources demand a particular moral goal; therefore, the manner of reaching that goal is irrelevant. In Yanklowitz's universe there can be no gap between moral vision and practical application. If the rabbis or the Torah issue a directive, any attempt to meet it satisfies their demands—even if the means employed have only a tenuous relation to the original sources.
We encounter this bankrupt moralism again in the essay "Jewish Wisdom and a 'Wise Latina,'" in which he suggests that Jewish teachings agree with Justice Sonia Sotomayor's statement that "a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life." He asserts that the Bible's invocation of the Egyptian bondage to justify concern for the downtrodden means that "the lived experience of the Jewish people…[is]…the best guarantor of justice." This interpretation leads Yanklowitz to puzzle over the Jewish community's aversion toward bringing religious sensibilities to bear on today's pressing issues. An alternative model, he argues, is the Orthodox rabbi Samuel Korff, whose religious court in the 1970s ruled on timely issues such as the ethics of the Vietnam War and employing non-unionized labor. Yanklowitz concludes that "the responsibility of a judge, in secular and religious cultures, is to ensure that the interpretation of the law accounts for its real-world consequences in people's lives." He says Korff "recogniz[ed] the importance of bringing the best of one's personal and communal background…into public discourse for the sake of achieving justice for all." Never mind that religious courts are non-coercive and have an impact on only a tiny part of the citizenry, and thus cannot serve as a model for secular courts, or that rulings based on "the best of one's personal and communal background" rather than the Constitution would wreak havoc upon the rule of law. Yanklowitz's compass points in one direction only: If the moral impulse dictates, follow. Don't sweat the details.
Judaism certainly impels us to employ our moral sensibilities and to pursue justice. Yanklowitz's understanding of this mandate, however, is shallow. By presuming to harmonize the Torah's mission with the Democratic Party's domestic agenda, Yanklowitz makes a mockery of the rigorous inquiry that sustains the Jewish tradition. Indeed, Judaism survives only if we take it seriously, if we struggle with Jewish texts, not merely quote them blithely. It is our duty to use these sources to rethink our assumptions, not simply to deploy them to confirm our pre-existing prejudices.
Judaism has always recognized that the Torah's blunt moral formulations provide scant guidance for real-world implementation. Our inability to appreciate God's direct message means that the law cannot reside in heaven, and that it must be subject to the imperfections within the mortals who inherit it. We cannot fully translate divine will into practice, but we continue trying, for it is these strenuous attempts that give life to our ancient tradition. To Yanklowitz we have no such shortcomings. All we need be is radical.
It is inadvertently comic that Jewish Ethics and Social Justice's cover should feature Pieter Bruegel's masterwork The Tower of Babel. The story of Babel is one of man attempting to erase any separation between heaven and Earth. God, however, humbles human ambitions, demolishing the edifice of self-congratulation and dispersing mankind throughout the globe and into many tongues. He enforces the unbreachable gulf between the divine realm and human striving. Like Babel's architects, Yanklowitz presumes God's ways can be our ways. He might consider paring down his aspirations.

Quinoa-Stuffed Tomatoes
Quinoa (pronounced KEEN-wah) is a grain native to South America; children will have fun eating quinoa out of a hollowed-out tomato
- Prep Time : 10 min
- Cook Time : 40 min
- Ready Time : 50 min
- 4 medium tomatoes, rinsed (2½ inches)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 cup cooked mixed vegetables—such as peppers, corn, carrots, or peas (leftover Friendly)
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed*
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ ripe avocado, peeled and diced
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, rinsed, dried and chopped (or 1 tsp dried)
- Preheat oven to 350 ºF.
- Cut off the tops of the tomatoes and hollow out the insides. (The pulp can be saved for use in tomato soup or sauce, or salsa.) Set tomatoes aside.
- Heat oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onions, and cook until they begin to soften, about 1–2 minutes.
- Add cooked vegetables, and heat through, about another 1–2 minutes.
- Add quinoa, and cook gently until it smells good, about 2 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cover the pan. Cook until the quinoa has absorbed all of the liquid and is fully cooked, about 7–10 minutes
- When the quinoa is cooked, remove the lid and gently fluff quinoa with a fork. Gently mix in the avocado, pepper, and parsley.
- Carefully stuff about ¾ cup of quinoa into each tomato.
- Place tomatoes on a baking sheet, and bake for about 15–20 minutes, or until tomatoes are hot throughout (tomatoes may be stuffed in advance and baked later).
- Serve immediately.
* Unprocessed quinoa must be washed thoroughly before it is used to remove a powdery coating called saponin, which has an unpleasant and bitter taste. Check your package for rinsing instructions.

The design of a medical research facility involves the synthesis of a number of complex and often conflicting design issues, and a clear understanding of contemporary approaches to medical research.
The challenge for Hames Sharley on the design of the Western Australian Institute for Medical Research has been to accommodate the changing activities of researchers operating in different fields, whilst encouraging effective interaction and collaboration. The building works from an individual or team level upwards with research spaces connected vertically, horizontally and virtually, and all spaces are designed to support the best scientific endeavour and research outcomes.
Flexibility and collaboration are key drivers for the design. Breaking with orthodox plan forms, large open labs run from north to south in the centre of the building, with offices to the west and core labs to the east. This avoids the disconnection between researchers, and also maximises natural light, external views and helps break down 'territorial' barriers.
Typical laboratory floors have been sized for approximately 100 people. Offices are grouped to reduce travel distances and open onto central open plan work areas to support teams of varying size while encouraging contact between researchers.
Interaction spaces are associated with the lift core and open central stair facilitating easy vertical connection for sharing facilities, and encouraging interaction. The large open plan lab in the centre of the floor plate is open to view both internally and externally with full height glazing to the south and extensive sun shading and light shelves to the north.
Designed to engage with the broader community, the ground level and first floor include exhibition and assembly areas, cafe, auditorium and interactive displays. On the ground floor a 20m long animated digital display will aid the communication of research activities and will animate this part of the campus with night and day activity.

With this specific phone, from what I've been told in training, it will NOT be getting an update beyond MAYBE 1.6. But for the most part with other phones its simply because the updates arent ready yet! They have to go from google to the manufacturer then to the carrier then released to the user - the problem: each step in the process requires more updates & programming so it can take some time. They're coming tho (for all those capable).

Lake Russell, South Carolina
South Carolina Abbeville County Lake Russell
The US Army Corps of Engineers began construction on Trotters Shoals Lake in 1974. This lake would be the middle and final of three inter-connected dams and lakes, with Lake Hartwell to the north and J Strom Thurmond Lake to the south. The lake would later be renamed Richard B Russell Lake in honor of the Georgia senator.
Lake Russell was created for flood control and power production but these days, recreation reigns supreme. Thanks to federal laws that prohibit exclusive private use along the 540 miles of Lake Russell's shoreline, there are 26,500 acres of largely undeveloped public land surrounding the lake.
Creating a border between Georgia and South Carolina, Lake Russell crosses county lines flowing in Abbeville County and Anderson County. Here are maps of the Abbeville area and the Anderson area.

Equitable Patent Protection In The Developing World: Issues and Approaches by William Lesser, Eubios Ethics Institute*, pp 148, £8
This small format book has a decidedly worthy look and feel about it, but does a good job of analysing existing patent systems factually with special emphasis on the differences between developed and developing nations.
It has a useful introductory rundown on the international conventions, schemes and organisations that govern world patent law. It also deals with the rights of plant breeders throughout the world.
In a book this size, of course, there is no hope of cataloguing every detail for every country, but an overview of worldwide patent protection, divided into low, middle and high income groups, neatly checks off the vital issues and the type of invention that are excluded from protection in each country. In Argentina, for instance, pharmaceutical products are excluded but methods of production are not. ...

The New York Times reports that Mayor Michael Bloomberg is encouraging new yorkers to embrace a organic food separation disposal program. which is intended to be processed on aa future facility capable of handling 100,000 tons of organic material year .
It is not clear how the population will react to this program, and is expected to begin a trial period of two to three years, before it becomes mandatory for all citizens of New York.
Social media commenting are split on the action taken by Mr. Bloomberg, on the one hand providing a positive feedback on the program, and on the other hand complaining on the hardships and political reasons behind the pilot.
Should program be successful other cities are to join similar efforts.

Albion overpowers DCC in exhibition encounter … Foo hits pugnacious half-century
Guyana Chronicle article.
Georgetown, Guyana - Berbice powerhouse team Albion Community Centre Cricket Club yesterday overpowered Demerara Cricket Club (DCC) by 58 runs in an exhibition encounter at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence, thanks to a pugnacious half-century from Jonathan Foo and controlled spin bowling.
Scores in the match: Albion 160 for 7, DCC 102 all out off 19.3 overs.
Batting first after they won the toss, Albion rattled up a commanding 160 for 7, with Foo top-scoring with 59 (5x4, 2x6), ably supported by Sewnarine Chattergoon's 39 (6x4) and Devendra Bishoo's quick-fire 24 which included two reverse-swept sixes off Totaram Bishun.
Foo added 38 for the third wicket with Chattergoon, following the quick demise of both Kandasammy Surujnarine (5) and Anthony Bramble (4), and a further 55 for the fifth wicket with Bishoo, after both Chattergoon and Veerasammy Permaul (0) were dismissed.
Belatedly, Darwin Christian who led DCC introduced Bishun into the attack in the 16th over, with a set Foo looking to score rapidly for his team, but it was Bishoo who answered the call for his side, with two well-timed reverse sweeps off Bishun.
Foo brought up his and the lone half-century of the contest off 38 deliveries, by hitting Dexter George for his fifth four, along with his lone six at that stage, and celebrated in style by hitting the same bowler for a six over wide midwicket.
Kellon Carmichael and Andre Stoll took 2 wickets each for 25 and 29 runs respectively for DCC, whose innings got off to a rampant start by Brian Sattaur and Andrew Lyght, who posted 39 from the first two overs, with the former hitting Chattergoon for 4, 6, 6, and 6 in the first over and the latter dispatching Veerapen Permaul for two sixes in the second.
The demise of Lyght for 14 (2x6), who was caught by Foo at mid-off when he looked to hit Veerasammy Permaul over that area, followed by that of Christian (2), Jamal Hinckson (00) and Stoll (6), left DCC on 58 for 4 in the 9th over of their innings, a collapse that was triggered by Bishoo (2 for 8).
Sattaur looked to continue in the same pugnacious mode for DCC, but with wickets tumbling needlessly at the other end, he joined his teammates back in the pavilion courtesy of a well-judged catch by Gudakesh Motie-Kanhai at long on off Andre Percival.
The team from the Ancient County, well known for their all-spin attack, did not disappoint their small group of supporters, as Andre Percival who took 3 for 9 and Motie-Kanhai 2 for 10, destroying the Queenstown-based DCC batting lineup.
Only Carmichael, with a resilient 26 that included two fours and one six before he was the last man to be dismissed, bowled by Shiraz Ramcharran in the final over, offered any support to Sattaur and resistance to the Berbicians bowling line- up.

There comes a time in our lives, when we need some time alone. And where can we do that better than in the middle of the nature. Architect Emilio Ambasz knew all these and in 1975 he designed the House of Spiritual Retreat (Casa De Retiro Spiritual).
Built on a 1,000 ha estate, the Book House is located just 25 miles (40km) north of Seville in Spain. Surrounded by the beautiful Sierra Morena mountains, in a Spanish countryside scenery, with a man-made lake, olive trees, evergreen oaks and wild flowers, the picture is close to perfection.
Two steep cantilevered staircases climb on the two tall white walls that rise like sails from the lush green ground, only to meet at the right place, a window that offers a great view of the whole area and especially over the lake. The most interesting thing is the mysteriously sunken courtyard.That's where the actual house is. It has large rooms with hidden arrangements and light coming in through serpentine openings that will blow your mind.
That's quite an artistic vision and Ambasz materialized it greatly. Check out the video below. – via UltimateHouse

Handlebar height could affect the sexual health of hot girls on bikes
Aside from the fat, hairy men dressed in the full spandex kit struggling to pedal up hill, what's not to like about biking? It's fast, it's fun, it's good for the planet, it's good for you, and it's great for drive-by whistling at chicks…ah yes…the chicks…hot girls on bikes…my favorite thing.
Has anyone else noticed that hot girls are just drawn to riding bikes? And it's not just one type of hot girl. You've got girly-girls, athletic girls, punk girls, hipster girls, and other kinds of girls I can't even think of out riding around on their bikes dropping the jaws pedestrians, drivers, and cyclists. If you're not convinced, look through Fuck Yeah Girls and Bikes and you'll see plenty of hot girls on bikes.
Though these hot girls on bikes are keeping their bods in shape, a new study says that handlebar height could have an affect the sexual health of these babes.
The Journal of Sexual Medicine's study measured saddle pressure and genital sensation of 48 competitive female cyclists (another kind of hot girl on bikes). The study found that the lower the handlebars, more pressure was applied, which decreased sensation. Dr. Marsha K. Guess, the study's lead author, had this to say about the results, "Chronic insult to the genital nerves from increased saddle pressures could potentially result in sexual dysfunction."
Don't worry, this is not the end of bike babes. To avoid loss of sensation, it's as simple as making sure the handlebars are higher than the seat. Higher handlebars means more upright riding and less pressure focused on the genitals, so no nerve damage.
Ladies, please, you look so good on two wheels. Get those handlebars higher! It's for your health, not just sexual but the whole nine. It would be a goddamn tragedy knowing you could have anyone you wanted while cruising around, looking fine as hell but in the end couldn't feel the fun part.
And guys, fixing a bike can be tough. Start learning how now so you can impress your bike-girl crush with handiness. You might be able to give her a different kind of tune-up when you're done elevating her handlebars.

What do you do if you want to enjoy a salon treatment, but cannot afford it, or if you cannot get to a salon? You have two practical options, either perform your own treatments, or hire a professional beauty therapist who can provide a home visit.
Many treatments, such as skincare, waxing and hair colouring, as well as relaxation therapies such as foot bathing and aromatherapy can easily be performed at home as long as you know what your doing.
Aromatherapy is a popular treatment at home, using aromatherapy oils, a room in your home can become your own hideaway, particularly if music and candle light is used to good effect. This can relax and invigorate you, without costing too much. Even better is the fact that the materials can be long lasting; you can enjoy an aromatherapy session on a regular basis.
Foot spas can also be enjoyed at home, using special foot baths. These often have a number of different treatments, such as sole massages, bubbles, acupressure, vibration and magnets. Often, they will also heat the water, and some more advanced models will have foot-activated controls. Salts and gels can be used in conjunction with the foot spa, to leave your feet looking and feeling great.
It is also possible to work on your tan at home - however, this isn't easy thanks to unpredictable British weather. An alternative is to hire a sunbed, although this isn't cheap, and the sunbed will take up a lot of space, which can be a problem in a small or full house. If you want to get that tanned look, but without the risk of poor weather and sunburn, you may wish to use fake tan. This can, however, give mixed results if not applied properly, and will also wash off over time. Most people apply fake tan prior to a night out, and will reapply it as required.
There are also a number of day to day beauty tasks which can be completed. While some people may prefer to be treated professionally, this may not always be possible. Treatments such as waxing and hair removal, nail painting, eyebrow shaping and plucking can also be done at home.
An alternative to visiting a salon is to have a beauty professional visit you, to take advantage of the full range of treatments they can offer. Prices can vary depending on the professional (qualifications, experience, location) and the products used. However, a professional will most likely be competitively priced compared to a salon, as there are fewer expenses to be covered.
Women who work full time, or who have hectic lifestyles, may prefer to be visited by a beauty professional as it is much easier to fit in around work or children, as the therapist can visit out of normal working hours. People choose to receive their beauty treatments at home because of the fact they are more comfortable, this is a great option for anyone that feels self concious about going for a beauty treatment in a salon.

Meadowcroft Rockshelter
Meadowcroft Rockshelter (36WH297) is a deeply stratified, multicomponent site, approximately 50 km (31 mi) southwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania near the village of Avella, in Washington County, Pennsylvania. The site is located on the north bank of Cross Creek, a small tributary of the Ohio River, which lies some 12.16 km to the west.
Meadowcroft Rockshelter is oriented east to west and has a southern exposure. It lies 259.9 m above sea level and is situated roughly.15m above Cross Creek. The area protected by the extant overhang is approximately. 65 m2, while the overhang itself is roughly 13 m above the modern surface of the site. Springs are abundant near the rockshelter.
Physiographically, Meadowcroft is located in the Unglaciated Appalachian or Allegheny Plateau west of the Valley and Ridge Province of the Appalachian mountains, northwest of the Appalachian Basin. The rockshelter is formed beneath a cliff of Morgantown-Connellsville sandstone, a thick fluvial or channel sandstone within the Casselman Formation of Pennsylvanian age.
Meadowcroft Rockshelter is in a maturely dissected topographic region. More than one-half of the 14,164 ha encompassed by the Cross Creek watershed is in valley slopes; upland and valley bottoms are in the minority. Maximum elevations in the Cross Creek drainage are generally above 396 m. Present area topography developed during the latter Pleistocene when increased precipitation and runoff caused extensive downcutting. The area was unaffected directly by glacial ice as the mapped Wisconsinan Kent moraine (Woodfordian age) is some 50 km north of the site, while the later Lavery till is ca. 83 km to the north. At the time Meadowcroft Rockshelter was initially occupied, the ice had retreated to the vicinity of modern-day Erie, Pennsylvania.

Realtests.com is Harry Potter's magic wand to tall the IT geeks out there, it is the best website that helps consolidate the contents of the extremely painfuly dry CCNPbook into concise e notes.

Teaching As My Profession
Speaking for myself being a teacher for 27 years you know all that comes and goes in this feild from the best book to the best program being offered online, I was shocked how Realtests.com was kept a hidden secret from me by my fellow employees. Probably because that was why their students were scoring much higher than mine, It was only when a student came forth and told me about it that I discovered what I had been missing out on all this time, such a great test engine fantastic for the study packs of CCNP and CCNP. Love how each bundle is analytically designed to deliver the best. Dave Port
