WHIRLWINDS are associated with destruction, not sustainable energy. Now it seems we can harness their power to generate renewable electricity.
The Solar Vortex system (see diagram) is the brainchild of Mark Simpson and Ari Glezer at Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. It relies on the temperature difference between hot air close to the ground and cooler air just a metre or so above it. As the hot air rises and cool air falls, convection currents form between these layers, leading to small whirlwinds or dust devils.
Solar Vortex channels these currents with an array of fixed blades or vanes. They funnel the airflow into a vortex, which turns a turbine at the device's centre. No power is needed to kick the process off as the position of the vanes helps the vortex to start spontaneously. As the warm air rises, more air rushes in, fuelling the artificial whirlwind.
Maintenance and installation costs are much lower than for a conventional wind farm because there is no need to put turbines on high towers to catch the wind. Since ground temperature varies slowly through the day, the system's energy output is more constant too, and stays steady for a few hours after sunset, when consumer demand is often highest.
Glezer had the idea after living in Arizona. "He had experienced naturally occurring dust devils and the kinetic energy they contain, and wanted to create a method for extracting that power," Simpson says.
Simpson has tested a small, 1-metre version of the vortex that drives a turbine to create a few watts of power using nothing more than a hot, sun-baked metal sheet. However, the power output scales up rapidly as you increase the turbine's diameter. Simpson calculates that a 10-metre turbine will produce 50 kilowatts of power using the same method. The team says that an array of these vortex turbines could produce 16 megawatts for every square kilometre they cover. This is not bad considering conventional wind turbines yield just 3 and 6 megawatts per square kilometre. In fact, the team estimates that the electricity produced by a Solar Vortex will be 20 per cent cheaper than energy from wind turbines and 65 per cent cheaper than solar power.
The US government's clean energy start-up shop is convinced: the Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy (ARPA-E) announced its decision to fund some large-scale trials last week. Simpson is due to present a paper in July detailing the trials at the ASME International Conference on Energy Sustainability in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Working with ARPA-E, Simpson and Glezer plan to have a 10 kW model running within two years, with tests on intermediate models scheduled for July. They want to build a 50kW model in the future.
"The science is solid," says Nilton Renno, who researches thermodynamics at the University of Michigan. "Once you induce circulation nearby, the vortex can be self-sustaining."
Steven Chu, the outgoing energy secretary, is interested; he visited the team briefly at the ARPA-E conference in Washington DC last week. "We would like to start with building a small-scale farm of these things," Simpson says. "At that point we start to produce real energy, and can begin to sell some of that energy and convince people of our system."
Correction: When this article was first posted, it gave an incorrect timeframe for the development of Simpson and Glezer's 50 kW turbine.

Fuel prices are displayed on the board at a gas station in Beirut, Lebanon, Tuesday, March 27, 2012. (The Daily Star/Grace Kassab)
BEIRUT: Gasoline prices continued to fall Tuesday, following weeks of often sharp increases.
The price of gasoline dropped by LL300 for both the 95 and 98-octane-graded fuels. The 95-octane-graded fuel now costs LL36,400 while the 98-octane-graded fuel costs LL37,000, according to the weekly price list released by the Energy and Water Ministry.
The price of fuel oil and kerosene gas also inched down LL200, and now cost LL27,900 and LL30,600 respectively.
Diesel oil saw a slight drop, selling at LL28,500, down by just LL100 from last week.
All prices are per 20 liters.

TOKYO, March 15, 2011 (AFP) - A strong quake was felt late Tuesday in Tokyo, shaking buildings in Japan's capital four days after a massive tremor sparked a devastating tsunami that ravaged the country's northeast coast.
The Japan Meteorological Agency put the magnitude of the quake at 6.0.
The epicentre was located in Shizuoka prefecture, about 120 kilometres (75 miles) southwest of the capital, and near Mount Fuji, which is prone to earthquakes.
The quake occured at a relatively shallow depth of 10 kilometres.

It possess many attack skills. Trembling before attacking, its swordplay is invisibly swift. On foggy nights, its precise movement may become visible." - Blight's bestiary entry from Okami OverviewBlight is a boss from Okami. He takes the appearance of an armored warrior run through with hundreds of swords and arrows, but his actual form is an ancient sword called Goldnail. His body spews toxic green clouds that poison people as well as create an oppressive atmosphere that can prevent Amaterasu's brush powers from working. During the events of the game, he takes up residence inside the Emperor of Sei-An City causing him to cough up poisonous clouds across the city. AbilitiesBlight's attacks are based around swords and incredible speed. Without using Mist to slow things down, he will appear to warp from one side of the battle area to the other. Since his ghostly form is run through with hundreds of swords, he will also launch some of them as projectiles that home in on Amaterasu's location. The only way to do any damage to Blight is to find the glowing Goldnail sword and attack it.

Who ever heard of a fish being in two minds about something? Yet it seems that like humans, fish process information - and perhaps emotions - on different sides of the brain.
Fish growing up in the wild among predators use their left eye to look at novel objects, while their offspring raised in captivity use the right eye. This suggests that life experiences can affect which side of the brain fish use, and even, says Victoria Braithwaite of the University of Edinburgh, UK, that they have emotional mindsets, since different sides of the brain may correspond to a curious or suspicious attitude.
"The lab-reared fish could process information about novel objects in the left brain [which means they are looking at things with their right eye] because they feel more comfortable, whereas their parents are more cautious."
Humans use their left and right brain lobes differently, the most well-known ...

According to a report from DHS and the office of Long Term Care, the facility "failed to ensure immediate efforts were made to resolve wound care related pain."
On September 28th, a doctor ordered workers to clean a patients wound and cover it with non stick bandages.
According to reports, those bandages did more harm than good.
"It was sticking to the wound and the scab. When it was removed, when the dressings were being changed, it was causing problems," said Charles Johnson, Deputy Director of Arkansas Veterans Affairs.
Five days later, when the dressing was changed again, the patient said his pain was "pretty close to the limit." The next day, the resident "yelled out in pain" during the procedure.
"Overtime we discovered we needed to change how we were dressing those wounds. Ultimately, we went to a different type of material. That solved the problem," said Johnson.
The Veterans Home took action to prevent this situation from happening again with an in-service training with all CNA and nursing staff.
The facility was cited for the time it took to resolve the issue.
"When there's a change, when there's a problem, it's about communication and that's what we are really having to focus on is helping our CNA's understanding that," said Johnson.
The VA hopes to learn from these citations and move on to take care of our veterans.

Algeria: 32 militants killed, with 23 hostages
Ruben Andrada, 49, a Filipino civil engineer who works as one of the project management staff for the Japanese company JGC Corp., described how he and his colleagues were used as human shields by the kidnappers, which did little to deter the Algerian military.
On Thursday, about 35 hostages guarded by 15 militants were loaded into seven SUVs in a convoy to move them from the housing complex to the refinery, Andrada said. The militants placed "an explosive cord" around their necks and were told it would detonate if they tried to run away, he said.
"When we left the compound, there was shooting all around," Andrada said, as Algerian helicopters attacked with guns and missiles. "I closed my eyes. We were going around in the desert. To me, I left it all to fate."
Andrada's vehicle overturned allowing him and a few others to escape. He sustained cuts and bruises and was grazed by a bullet on his right elbow. He later saw the blasted remains of other vehicles, and the severed leg of one of the gunmen.
The site of the gas plant spreads out over several hectares (acres) and includes a housing complex and the processing site, about a mile (1.6 kilometers) apart, making it especially complicated for the Algerians to secure the site and likely contributed to the lengthy standoff.
"It's a big and complex site. It's a huge place with a lot of people there and a lot of hiding places for hostages and terrorists," said Col. Richard Kemp, a retired commander of British forces who had dealt with hostage rescues in Iraq and Afghanistan. "These are experienced terrorists holding the hostages."
While the Algerian government has only admitted to 23 hostages dead so far, the militants claimed through the Mauritanian news website ANI that the helicopter attack alone killed 35 hostages.
One American, a Texan — Frederick Buttaccio from the Houston suburb of Katy — was among the dead. "Fred spent a lifetime experiencing the world and always respecting everyone he met, no matter their position, culture, or religion," the family said in a statement Saturday.
President Barack Obama said in a statement Saturday that the U.S. stood ready to provide whatever assistance was needed in the wake of the attack.
"This attack is another reminder of the threat posed by al-Qaida and other violent extremist groups in North Africa. In the coming days, we will remain in close touch with the Government of Algeria to gain a fuller understanding of what took place so that we can work together to prevent tragedies like this in the future," the statement said.
French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said Saturday that a Frenchman killed, Yann Desjeux, was a former member of the French special forces and part of the security team. The remaining three French nationals who were at the plant are now free, the Foreign Ministry said.
The British government said Saturday it is trying to determine the fate of six people from Britain who are either dead or unaccounted for.
Prime Minister David Cameron of Britain said, "There is no justification for taking innocent life in this way. Our determination is stronger than ever to work with allies right around the world to root out and defeat this terrorist scourge and those who encourage it."
The Norwegian government said there were five Norwegians unaccounted for.
Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta said Saturday one Romanian hostage was killed in the course of the siege, while the Malaysian government said two of its citizens were still missing.
The attack by the Masked Brigade, founded by Algerian militant Moktar Belmoktar, had been in the works for two months, a member of the brigade told the ANI news outlet. He said militants targeted Algeria because they expected the country to support the international effort to root out extremists in neighboring Mali and it was carried out by a special commando unit, "Those Who Signed in Blood," tasked with attacking nations supporting intervention in Mali.
The kidnappers focused on the foreign workers, largely leaving alone the hundreds of Algerian workers who were briefly held hostage before being released or escaping.
Several of them arrived haggard-looking on a late-night flight into Algiers on Friday and described how the militants stormed the living quarters and immediately separated out the foreigners.
Mohamed, a 37-year-old nurse who like the others wouldn't allow his last name to be used for fear of trouble for himself or his family, said at least five people were shot to death, their bodies still in front of the infirmary when he left Thursday night.
Chabane, an Algerian who worked in food services, said he bolted out the window and was hiding when he heard the militants speaking among themselves with Libyan, Egyptian and Tunisian accents. At one point, he said, they caught a Briton.
"They threatened him until he called out in English to his friends, telling them, 'Come out, come out. They're not going to kill you. They're looking for the Americans,'" Chabane said.
"A few minutes later, they blew him away."

In Angel Perverse 19, French auteur Christoph Clark presents four scenes of twisted anal elegance, all featuring black Brazilian stud Kid Jamaica. First, that legendary American porn MILF, Lisa Ann, shares a bedroom tryst with Jamaica, riding his big, black cock and taking a load of cum on her trimmed pussy mound. Then Mr. Jamaica spies his petite, raven-haired secretary, Anabell, ramming her ass with a huge dildo. When he interrupts her solo fun, the skinny slut alternates sucking the boss' huge shaft and getting anally pounded ... until her asshole gapes widely! Little Anabell swallows a creamy dollop of jism. Next, the Kid peels off Alma Blue's dark pantyhose and reams her poor ass inside out; her well-fucked rectum ends up bruised, puffy and open. And finally, cigarillo-smoking Lisa Ann returns to team up with gorgeous brunette Melanie Memphis on Kid Jamaica's meat stick. The foxy May-September duo takes turns fucking and sucking him, and Melanie receives a royal ass boning. The lucky cocksman spurts his gooey cream all over Lisa's stupendous rack.

Be afraid, be very afraid.....
This just in: Gingers are a biologically-advanced minority. Although, their sensitivity to the sun and freckle-plagued faces might even things out a bit. I speak from experience of course. As a Ginger who wears a Ginger-beard with pride, I know all to well the pros and cons of Gingerhood.
Anyways, HOW are Gingers different?
This study concluded that Gingers have a higher pain tolerance that most people, and can also handle spicier food.This wasn't the first study to look at Gingers' pain tolerance. The Mythbusters did their own research on the topic and deducted that red-haired people take longer to react to pain than people with other colored hair.
The most recent study does have some disadvantages for the carrot-tops of the world, like:
- They are more sensitive to cold
- They suffer more from toothaches and are likely to be afraid of the dentist
- They have a greater risk for developing sclerosis and endometriosis (whatever the hell that is)
So yeah, Gingers, or "Redheads" as the politically correct would say, can take more pain and eat spicier foods than blondes, brunettes, and so on. I'm no scientist, but my guess is this was an act of evolution to help the Gingers cope with the many, many ass-whoopings that come along with growing up ginger.
So check out the Wall of Flame at your local hot wings joint, count the Gingers, and see if they are holding true to their tolerance for spicy food. For my non-ginger readers, don't be too jealous--at least you can get a tan. And for my fellow-gingers out there, let's call this day a win for our people. (Now start stocking up on that SPF50; we're gonna' need it!)

A cat shelter in Rome that draws tourists from all over the world faces eviction, despite the tremendous service it provides to care for the many animals who live in the streets of the eternal city. Staffed entirely by volunteers, the shelter is located underground and cares for about 150-180 cats at a time in a former storage space equipped with only the basics: cages, garbage bins, medical cabinets. Over the past twenty years, the shelter has helped to spay and neuter nearly 29,000 cats, thanks to donations from over 10,000 donors around the globe, says the New York Times.
The shelter is nestled among archaeological sites and herein lies the dispute about its future. Though the shelter has occupied the space for years, Italian state archaeologists have now decreed it must go as it is near the Area Sacra of Largo Argentina. This site contains four temples dating back to the Roman Republic (509 – 27 BCE) — that is, before the time of Julius Caesar (who was, in fact, stabbed to death not far away).
Specifically, the cat shelter sits smack above the site of the travertine podium of the 2nd century BCE Temple D. As Fedora Filippi, a Culture Ministry archaeologist, tells the New York Times, "The cat ladies are occupying one of the most important sites in Largo Argentina, and that is incompatible with the preservation of the monument." Having a cat shelter so close to ancient sites has created the additional issue of tourists throwing food for the cats onto an adjacent archaeological site. In addition, health officials have said the shelter is an "inappropriate environment" for the volunteers, tourists and cats.
"This isn't about the cats," says Filippi (who notes that she herself lives with a cat), emphasizing that she is simply seeking "to protect Italy's archaeological patrimony and to apply the law."
But tell that to Rome's gattare, or cat caretakers. Silvia Viviani, one of the founders of the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary association who is also a retired opera singer, tell the New York Times that "If they want war, we'll give them war. The cats need us." No one less than the mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, declared last week on Twitter that both he and his cat, Certosino, "are on the side of the cats of Rome. Anyone who touches them will be in trouble."
The shelter has never been officially authorized but municipal officials have tacitly acknowledged the services its volunteers provide (that Rome's veterinary department would be hard-pressed to carry out) and have even allowed the shelter to expand and modernize. The city of Rome is therefore doing something of an about-face in telling the shelter that, unless it moves its operations, it will soon to be evicted.
Talks between the shelter's representatives and those for the archaeologists have gone on for two years but proved fruitless. Moving the cats is not an option; as the shelter says, its highly visible location is essential, as tourists from around the world see the cats and make donations.
It's hard to object to preserving Italy's archaeological heritage and certainly a site so ancient. The dispute over the cat shelter is really about bigger issues regarding the country's cultural heritage. Certainly there are few places in Rome that do not harbor, or potentially harbor, traces of the city's rich historical past. The cats are themselves part of the city and, indeed, "of the city's bio-cultural patrimony," as local legislator Monica Cirinn puts it.
One of the remarkable things about being in Rome is constantly seeing how the past and present exist side by side, from motorscooters zipping beneath the majestic ruin of the Colosseum to, yes, cats darting into the structure's nooks and crannies. I know from taking groups of college students to Greece that the presence of life amid the ruins perks their interest: So did the splash of a frog in a pool of water in the remains of someone's fancy house in Dion in northern Greece excite one group of students to explore.
The cats of Rome have lived for years — centuries! — among those ancient ruins. Why undo their co-existence now?

Interesting dilemma ... just want it to be safe for all concerned ...
Maybe the archaeologists can find and buy a more suitable location for the cat shelter--still in Rome so as to serve the cats of Rome.
I am sure there is a way to maintain the site so that the cats can continue to live there.They seem to be an attraction in themselves and educating the tourists re feeding the cats should be quite easy..At the same time, I would hate to see the site deteriorate , and the cats could be re -housed more easily and future generations might not view damage by the cats as ok and the plight of the cats may not then be good . A difficult one..
Thank you for sharing.
very sad
why?leave them in peace.it was their home for years,thank you for sharing
It should not! People should not put their own interests above the animals. Those cats need to go to a sanctuary or something.
Their ancestors lived there too
Life is still more important than ruins. I am a HUGE history buff, but I am also a lover of life, and of cats in particular. They (the cats) add character, and have always been there. These volunteers are providing quite a service for the city, and for the cats as well. Unless the people with the issue offer to pay EVERY expense for a relocation to a place of equal or greater value, they need to step back
Let them be!!!

I came in first place with a total weight loss of 86 pounds.
Wow, who would have thought that the past six months would have flown by this fast?
I am sad to say that this is my final blog for the FIT Challenge.
It has been an amazing journey.
I entered this challenge slightly nervous like, "Oh man, what did I get myself into?"
The answer to that question is that I got myself into an amazing experience that I wouldn't change for the world.
I lost a significant amount of weight, but I gained even more knowledge.
I now know how to eat properly and eat right.
The last month of the challenge was the toughest.
I hurt my feet and was struggling with that.
I fought through the pain and finished out the challenge strong and on top of my game.
I will continue to work out and eat healthy.
The FIT Challenge ended Jan. 4, but MY Challenge starts immediately.
Thank you to everyone for your kind words and support you have given me throughout this whole challenge.
I wasn't sure if I would like the public attention, but after everything is said and done I wouldn't take it back for anything.
To anyone out there who is overweight and debating if they should apply for the challenge or not, please take the plunge.
It can seem scary and a little nerve-racking, but your life is worth it.
Trying to lose weigh is not going to be all positive all the time.
You will hit a wall or have a "bad" week or even gain a pound or two back.
However, do not get discouraged or give up.
Sometimes you can get a little lazy and it's that one bad week that keeps you in line.
It makes you realize that you have to stick with it or you will gain it back.
I am the biggest contestant so far, but wait until you see me next year.
I WILL set the record for the most weight lost from a contestant!

Hans Herbert von Arnim
Bibliography (Selections)
(Die Verfallbarkeit betrieblicher Ruhegeldanwartschaften) (ISBN 3-8005-6167-0)
This book is the doctoral dissertation of the
author. It shows that
the then common unfettered practice of forfeiture of corporate pension
entitlements, when an employee leaves his employment before reaching the
legal retirement age, is against the law. The question affected 60% of
the Federal Republic of Germany's labour force. In 1972 the Federal Industrial
Tribunal, and then in 1975 the legislature, accepted the new interpretation.
The Remuneration of Parliamentary Representatives and the Basic Law.
A constitutional opinion on the financial privileges of Federal and State
representatives. Volume 32 of the publications of the Karl-Bräuer-Institute
of the German Taxpayers Federation, Wiesbaden 1975
This opinion expressed the view that the then existing privileges claimed
by parliamentarians as to taxation exemptions, payments to them by lobbyists,
and civil servant status benefits were unconstitutional. The German Taxpayers
Federation presented the manuscript, prior to its publication, to the Federal
Constitutional Court which adopted this view in its decision of November
5, 1975 (BVerfGE 40, 296).
The Common Good and Group Interests. Published by
Metzner, Frankfurt/M
Party Financing. A Constitutional Study. Volume 52 of the Publications
by the Karl-Bräuer-Institute of the German Taxpayers Federation, Wiesbaden
This booklet (and a number of essays and articles in professional periodicals
and newspapers) analyses problems of financing of political parties, including
party foundations and parliamentary parties. The judgement handed down
by the Federal Constitutional Court, dated April 9, 1992 (BVerfGE 85, 264),
accepted many of the criticisms raised in this publication.
State Theory of the Federal Republic of Germany. Published by
Vahlen, Munich 1984
This book describes the historical development of a modern state such
as the Federal Republic of Germany and provides the basis for the theoretical
analysis of it.
Power Makes One Inventive. Published in paperback by Fromm,
This paperback is based on the author's earlier manuscript which made
public the "Hesse Attendance Allowance Case" (where parliamentary representatives
granted themselves financial privileges.) It induced the State Parliament
to withdraw the self-serving excessive regulations. The president and vice-president
Possibilities of Direct Democracy at the Local Level. Published
in Jörn Ipsen (ed.), Continuity or Reform. An Analysis of Local Authority
Constitutions, 1990, pages 57-86: Also published in Die Öffentliche
Verwaltung 1990, pages 85-97.
This article is supplemented by several of the author's later
It underlines the special qualities of the Constitution of Local Authorities
in the State of Baden-Württemberg. These have three structural
the direct election of mayors, flexible election lists for the Local Councils
with cumulative votes for candidates, and the possibility of citizen initiatives
and decisions. The article recommends the adoption of this model by other States. This publication directly influenced the contemporaneous reform
of the Constitution of Local Authorities in the State of Schleswig-Holstein.
In the meantime, most of the model's characteristics, especially the direct
election of mayors, have been introduced, in some cases with modifications,
in all other States.
The State as Spoils. Published in paperback by Knaur, Munich
This paperback shows how the "political
class" granted itself financial
privileges and immunities and how parliaments, for example, in Hesse, Hamburg
and the Saarland, had to rescind several laws in response to developing
public criticism as the results of the author's research became known.
The book was for some time on the paperback bestseller list.
State without Servants. Published by Kindler, Munich 1993, and
in paperback by Knaur, Munich 1995
This book describes the problems of a modern democracy such as the Federal
Republic of Germany. For some time it was on the bestseller list. The later
paperback edition includes an epilogue which deals whith subsequent developments
and the critics of the book.
Democracy without People. Published in paperback by Knaur, Munich
This paperback is a collection of the author's eighteen topically related
articles and papers, which were originally published individually in newspapers
and professional journals, some of which are not readily accessible.
The Party, the Representative and Money. Published in paperback
by Knaur, Munich 1996
This paperback is a standard work on political
financing. It was first
published in 1991 and completely revised in 1996. It analyses the entire
financing of political parties, party foundations, parliamentary parties
and representatives. This financing, especially in Germany, has run out
of control. Recommendations are made for substantive and procedural reforms.
"We are the State!" Published in paperback by Knaur, Munich 1995
The New Federal Representatives' Law. Content, Procedure, Criticism
and Public Deception. Research report Nr. 169, Speyer 1997
The paperback revealed to the public the true content of the camouflaged proposed amendment to the remuneration article of the Federal Constitution and resulted in a nationwide discussion in late 1995. It caused 86 professors of constitutional law to appeal to the Federal Council (Bundesrat) of the Federal Parliament, which ultimately rejected the amendment.
The research report traces the legal procedure and outlines the content
of the bill.
The Glutton as Caterer. The political class - self-serving and remote from the people. Published by Kindler, Munich 1997, and as paperback edition by Knaur, Munich 1999 (Fetter Bauch regiert nicht gern. Die politische Klasse - selbstbezogen und abgehoben) (ISBN 3-426-77385-6)
This book develops a theory of the Party-State and shows that the self-interests
of the "political class" in relation to power, position, and money have
paralysed their capacity to govern; fundamental changes in the political
institutions are required. This could be achieved by public and individual
initiatives. The book was on the bestseller list from January to October
1998. The later paperback edition includes a foreword which deals with
subsequent developments and critics of the book.
Servants of Many Masters. The double and triple benefits of politicians.
Published by Knaur, Munich 1998
This paperback points out the excessive remuneration of
especially the multiple payments and superannuation systems. The book has
since its publication led to certain reforms in Bavaria and North-Rhine
Westphalia. In addition, the prime ministers of both states have appointed
a commission (including the author) which will give its opinion in 2000.
Principles of Economic Policy. Published by Luchterhand, Frankfurt/Main,
6th edition, 1998
This book examines the economic problems of the Federal Republic of
Germany from the combined perspectives of economics, law, and politics.
The Glitter of Democracy: Politics without Accountability - Ignoring the People, Droemer Publishing House, Munich 2000 (ISBN 3-426-27204-0)
This book deals with the disintegration of accountability in German
federalism and the possibilities for direct decision-making at local state,
federal, and EU levels. It provides an extension and elaboration of the
arguments made in the book, The Glutton as Caterer (Fetter Bauch regiert
nicht gern). The German system of executive federalism, which dates back
to Bismarck, is unique; it results in the disempowerment of both parliament
and people and leads to political paralysis. There is no continuous public
outcry and protest solely because the complicated procedures are so abstruse.
The author proposes that the solution can be found in mobilizing
public awareness and establishing requisite institutions. This implies
the reform of the electoral laws and the development of initiative and

Product description
In an age marked by seemingly unstoppable environmental collapse and the urgent quest for solutions, environmental philosopher Derrick Jensen, the voice of the growing deep ecology movement, reveals for us new seeds of hope. Here for the first time in "The Derrick Jensen Reader" are collected generous selections from his prescient, unflinching books on the problem of civilization and the path to true resistance. In the acclaimed "A Language Older Than Words," Jensen dissects his own abusive childhood to examine the pathology of Western culture and shares with us the power and beauty of an alliance with the natural world. He continues to use the lens of his own experience as well as the wisdom of philosophers, activists, and teachers to expose oppression and call us to action in his other early works, "Listening to the Land," "A Culture of Make Believe," "Strangely Like War," and "Walking on Water." We see his analysis deepen when he asks us to accept that the only moral response to biocide is resistance in the two-volume "Endgame," a truth he explores further in "Thought to Exist in the Wild," "What We Leave Behind," the graphic novel "As The World Burns," and in his two novels, "Songs of the Dead" and "Lives Less Valuable." And in "Dreams," Jensen's latest work, he leads us still further toward his vision for a healed planet, freeing us to see beyond the limits of our present culture to a future luminous with meaning.

Mother hurt in racist acid attack in Salford
Police are searching for a man after a Black woman had acid thrown at her in Salford in what is believed to be a racist attack.
The 29-year-old was treated in hospital for burns to her chest and back after what police believe was a random attack last Thursday afternoon.
The woman was pushing her baby in a pram along the underpass in Broad Street Pendleton when she was approached by a man in his 40s.
He is alleged to have made a sexual and racial comment to the victim, originally from Cameroon, before throwing corrosive liquid over her. Her baby was unharmed.
Det Con Jim Harris, of Greater Manchester Police, said police were treating it as a hate crime.
"This was an appalling attack on a lady who was walking with her very young baby. Thankfully none of the corrosive liquid hit the baby or went on the victim's face as the incident could have been a lot worse than it already is."
He added,
"The offender needs to be caught and held responsible for his actions which have caused a nasty injury to the lady and much distress."
The man was described as being white, of stocky build, 5ft 10in to 6ft 2in tall, had very short, dark hair with a straight hair line and a bald patch at the back. He has blue eyes, a dimple in his chin and a red mark like a burn on his bottom lip.
He was wearing a sleeved dark-grey jumper with a round neck, black tracksuit bottoms with a grey and white stripe down each leg and black trainers.

Biodiversity and functioning of polar deep-sea ecosystems
Over centuries the deep sea was considered as a vast, desert-like environment with low numbers of species able to survive the harsh conditions. However, in recent years knowledge about the biodiversity of deep-sea life has increased and today we know that the deep ocean hosts enormously diverse communities. Biodiversity in the deep sea depends among other factors on water depth, which in turn is linked to food availability, but also influences dispersal and zonation of species.
In contrast to past assumptions that deep-sea organisms live in very stable conditions, it is nowadays accepted that the various abiotic and biotic factors governing deep-water ecosystems are highly dynamic and variable both, in space and time. For example, in addition to energy availability, the diversity of the benthos is linked to the complexity of the seafloor morphology.
Since polar organisms are strongly adapted to extreme environmental conditions with strong seasonal forcing, the acceleration of recent climate change in the Arctic challenges the resilience of its communities. The entire system is likely to be severely affected by the sea ice retreat, a changing hydrography, the warming and acidification of the ocean, a varying primary production and food availability, an increase in contaminants, and possibly also increased UV irradiance. A number of Arctic populations and ecosystems are probably not stable enough to withstand the sum of these changes, which might lead to a shift of communities.
To detect and track the impact of large-scale environmental changes in the transition zone between the northern North Atlantic and the central Arctic Ocean, and to determine the factors controlling deep-sea biodiversity, the Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research established the Deep-Sea Observatory HAUSGARTEN, representing the first, and by now only open-ocean long-term station in a polar region.

Fed complaint: Cargill discriminated against Arkansas turkey processing plant job-seekersThe U.S. Labor Department says one of the nation's largest meatpackers systematically discriminated against more than 4,000 qualified applicants who sought entry-level jobs at a turkey processing plant in Arkansas. The government seeks to cancel more than $550 million in contracts with the U.S. Defense Department and prevent future contracts until the company stops what they call discriminatory practices.

When Charles Fey first created the slot machine back in 1894, he had no idea what kind of technological advances would be added to his original invention. After all, it would've been unfathomable for the American to predict that people would one day play slots wirelessly when his generation was still mastering the car. Now mobile slots are becoming more and more prevalent with players using a wide range of devices to spin the reels. That said, let's take a closer look at what mobile devices people are using to play slots online and how convenient this version of gaming is.
No Shortage of Options
Every year, millions of people enter the wireless age by purchasing smartphones, tablet computers and personal digital assistants (PDA). The obvious motivation for buying these products is that users want to access the internet wherever they go without carrying around clunky laptops.
But an excellent side benefit to owning a smartphone or tablet computer is that many online casinos offer mobile services to players. This is especially true for those who own an iPhone, iPad or Android since these products are often compatible with casinos. So if you own one of the popular mobile devices, there's a decent chance that you'll be able to play mobile casino slots – provided you have an internet connection of course.
Personal Preference
Seeing as how there are plenty of options available in the mobile world, players can pick their device based on preference. For example, smartphones are a little smaller, so when you're not playing mobile slots, you can easily fit a phone into your pocket. However, the screen is also smaller, which makes seeing mobile casino slots somewhat tougher.
Luckily, those who have trouble seeing little screens can opt for a tablet computer; but you also have to consider how tablets are bigger and can't be put into most pockets. So in the end, the device you use to play mobile casino slots largely depends on what you value most.
Unparalleled Convenience
With mobile slots becoming more popular by the day, it's worth discussing why players love this option. And the top reason is definitely convenience because mobile casino slots enable people to play games virtually anywhere. For example, let's say that you're riding on a bus with nothing to do besides look out the window; you could then pull out a smartphone or tablet computer and start playing slots games.
Now let's contrast this to traditional methods of playing online slots such as a desktop computer or laptop. With a desktop, you pretty much have to remain at one location the whole time – unless you feel like unplugging lots of wires and lugging your monitor and computer around. Laptops are a little nicer in this regard, but they are still much less convenient to travel with than a smartphone or tablet. Long story short, mobile devices are the ultimate form of convenience for slots players.
Same Great Features
One last topic that we'd like to discuss involves how mobile slots offer little to no change from traditional slots platforms. That's because you're still playing at the same online casinos as those with laptops or desktops; it's just that you are accessing the internet through a different device. So all of the bonus rounds, huge jackpots, and fun options will still be available to those using tablets and smartphones.
Also, don't forget that you'll be able to play a wide range of slots games through mobile devices. There are literally thousands of different games across the internet when the numerous casinos are taken into consideration. So really, you get all of the same great games and features with mobile slots – plus a major boost in the convenience department!

Bradley Wiggins x Fred Perry Shoot
Wednesday, 9th May 2012
Last week we took a trip to Sargent & Co bespoke cycle shop in Finsbury Park, to shoot the first pieces from our collaboration with Bradley Wiggins. The small cycle shop is a treasure trove of vintage steel frames and parts, offering a full restoration and repair service for vintage cycle enthusiasts. Bradley came fresh from winning the Tour de Romandie to model the first pieces from his non-technical cycling shirt designs.
Bradley's first collection will launch this summer, marking the start of a six season collaboration with the cyclist. All eyes will be on Bradley over the next few months, as he sets out to continue his winning streak at the Tour de France in July and the London Olympic Games a week later. We wish him the best of luck!
Bradley Wiggins for Fred Perry
Wednesday, 11th Apr 2012
We're delighted to announce an exciting new collaboration with Olympian and cycling legend Bradley Wiggins. Bradley has long been a fan of Fred Perry, and as a self-confessed mod enthusiast he makes a perfect fit for the brand. Speaking of the new collaboration, Bradley has said:
"It's a partnership I could only have dreamed of...I have been a lifelong fan of the brand, stemming from my following and commitment to the mod movement and what I believe is Fred Perry's unparalleled relationship with subculture."
"My goal has been to develop an authentic, non technical range of off cycle wear that is inspired by the best of the sport's unique heritage – something I am hugely passionate about. Fred Perry offered me that opportunity.I'll never forget the buzz when I first heard that Fred Perry were interested in working with me and since we've started work it's clear that I'm going to have the chance to execute many of my and collaborate on some great ranges in the coming seasons."
Cycling jerseys have been standard mod-attire since the early 1960's, and Bradley's collection will be inspired by this unique relationship between the sport and Subculture. Initially, the collaboration will launch in early summer with one cotton pique, zip neck shirt style in 3 colourways available through our worldwide shops and online at fredperry.com. The collection will expand to 8 pieces for an October 2012 delivery.
Cycling & Vintage
Sunday, 27th Mar 2011
Last Thursday saw the launch of the Fred Perry Cycling & Vintage blank canvas collaboration, inspired by the unique relationship between cycling and subculture. Back in the 1960s the merino cycling jersey was adopted by the Mod movement who were attracted to the slim cut, unique styling and durability of the garment. Perfect for layering under a tailored suit, these jerseys adapted to their surroundings: breathable enough to dance all night in and warm enough to stand up to a crisp walk home in the morning.
Three styles from Fred Perry Cycling Collection 2011 - Available in our Laurel Wreath Collection Shops and FredPerry.com
We've created four limited edition Fred Perry cycling shirts which will be sold in Laurel Wreath Collection shops and at FredPerry.com just as the weather becomes perfect for riding. Finished with bold colour blocked panels and graphic designs, these shirts feature zip necks and pockets on the base of the back ideal for holding a water bottle or bike light. To showcase our inspiration for this blank canvas collaboration we've sourced a small number of original 60s cycle jerseys, each one of a kind and available only in our Laurel Wreath Collection shops. These handpicked shirts give a fascinating insight into the unique designs and styling of the 60s shirts and also offer the unique opportunity to own a rare piece of cycling history.
This blank canvas project is not our first foray into the world of cycling - last year, Fred Perry teamed up with iconic British bike makers Raleigh to create a limited edition Fred Perry x Raleigh road bike, created in classic racing green with a traditional tan Brooks saddle.
The Fred Perry Cycling & Vintage collection launches in Laurel Wreath Collection shops from Thursday 24th March, with the Fred Perry cycle shirts also available at FredPerry.com.

Bangkok to PP?
I sent this email to daveg but in case any of you have some suggestions, feel free to chime in.
A couple of questions. I'm not sure what you are monitoring right now so I'm going to post these in several places.
There are 5 of us heading to PP in the morning. We have 2 options to get to the border.
1. Catch a bus at 5am and get to the border around 9am.
2. Catch a train at 6am and get to the border around 2pm.
Which do you think is the better option.
Next question: It appears we have several options once we clear immagration into Cambodia. Private taxi, bus and ??? Do you have any suggestions about the best way to get from Poi Pet to PP?
Thanks and we all hope to see you tomorrow.

JOURNALISTS around the world went into a frenzy in January last year when French cave researcher Jean-Marie Chauvet unveiled a remarkable collection of prehistoric rock art. Chauvet and his friends had discovered the paintings just a few weeks earlier in a cavern at Vallon-Pont-d'Arc in southern Ardèche. Some 300 paintings and at least as many engravings depict about a dozen species of animal, several never before seen in rock art. The paintings are made of ochre, charcoal and haematite.
In their clamour to understand the importance of the find, the reporters turned their spotlight on France's leading rock art expert Jean Clottes, an archaeologist with the Ministry of Culture. How old were the paintings? And who could have created such exquisite works of art?
At that time, the pigment had not been radiocarbon dated, so Clottes relied on his long experience of studying cave art to estimate the age of ...

La Crosse Officer Injured During Scuffle
A La Crosse police officer is nursing his wounds today after getting into a scuffle with a woman on the northside this week-end. Two cops had 39 year-old Lea McCormick in cuffs on Saturday after a call that she was involved in some sort of domestic dispute. But she didn't want to go quietly. Apparently lunged over a chain link fence and dragged one of the cops with her. Several puncture wounds for the cop. A felony charge for battery to an officer for McCormick.

A HISTORICAL puzzle over the authorship of a 19th-century religious work has been solved with a paradoxical trick: throwing away what looks like the best data.
Moshe Koppel and Jonathon Schler from Bar-Ilan University in Ramat-Gan, Israel, were approached by historian Shlomo Havlin, also at Bar-Ilan, with a famous Jewish text called the
Koppel and Schler's task was to settle the question, one way or the other. They measured hundreds of features of the suspect text, such as the frequency of words, sentence length and grammatical patterns. When they compared the results with a similar analysis of a book known to have been written by Ben Ish Chai, they ...

Fujitsu launches 2.2-pound Q series notebook
- Related Stories
Tiny notebooks back in vogue at GatewayMarch 29, 2006
The 2.2-pound Q2010 was unveiled Tuesday during a media event at Fujitsu North America's headquarters here. The notebook was launched alongside two other models at the event, part of Fujitsu's push to expand its presence in North America.
Fujitsu wants to rack up $10 billion in revenue in North America by the end of the decade, said Farhat Ali, chief operating officer and chief financial officer of Fujitsu Computer Systems. The company will try to reach this goal through a combination of new products and services obtained through acquisitions, he said, without specifying any potential targets.
It also plans to expand its existing product lines, including Primergy blade servers and LifeBook notebooks like the Q2010.
The ultraportable notebook is less than one inch thick and uses Intel's new Core Solo processor. It's designed as an executive companion for world-weary travelers tired of lugging larger notebooks through airport security, said Paul Moore, director of mobile product marketing at Fujitsu.
"If you can get the power in there and add a little bit of style, why wouldn't somebody want it?" Moore said. Ultraportable notebooks have been slower to catch on in North America than in other parts of the world, but PC makers such as Gateway are taking a fresh look at lightweight notebooks with the release of Intel's new Core Solo and Core Duo processors.
The Q2010 is using the same unannounced Intel Ultra Low Voltage Core Solo processor that Gateway's NX100X uses, according to the system properties screen of the Q2010. That chip runs at 1.2GHz. These ultralow-voltage versions of Intel's chips mean PC makers don't have to build a noisy cooling fan into their systems.
A presentation during the briefing put the price of the new notebook at $1,999, but a Fujitsu representative said pricing had not been finalized. The notebook will be available this summer.
Fujitsu also launched the new E8110, E8120 and the S7110 notebooks. All the notebooks feature Intel's Core Duo processors, but the S series models are a little lighter, at 4.5 pounds, compared with the 5.9 pounds of the E series models. The E8110 costs $1,249, while the S7110 costs $1,449. Pricing and availability for the 8210 have yet to be announced.
During the media briefing, the company showed off two research projects that it announced last year. Fujitsu has built a prototype color flexible screen that can display an image without a constant supply of electricity. It has also developed a scanner than can read the unique system of veins in a person's hand as a way of allowing or denying access to a PC or building.

- Expensive ultraportables
- Ultraportables are great. But most of them don't make a dent on the market because they are outrageously priced. I sure would not pay $2,000 for this Fujitsu's machine. One company I think is getting it right is Averatec. Their 4-pound notebooks have everything integrated - including DVD/RW, bluetooth, etc., and costs around $1,000.
