(B) Persons riding bicycles or motorcycles upon a roadway shall ride not more than two abreast in a single lane, except on paths or parts of roadways set aside for the exclusive use of bicycles or motorcycles.
(C) This section does not require a person operating a bicycle to ride at the edge of the roadway when it is unreasonable or unsafe to do so. Conditions that may require riding away from the edge of the roadway include when necessary to avoid fixed or moving objects, parked or moving vehicles, surface hazards, or if it otherwise is unsafe or impracticable to do so, including if the lane is too narrow for the bicycle and an overtaking vehicle to travel safely side by side within the lane.
Section 4511.55(A) is very often misquoted to say that cyclists are required to ride
as near as possible
to the curb. The new paragraph (C) should help reduce this confusion. There are many conditions where it is much safer to ride near the middle of the lane. It is not
(practice-able) to ride on the far right when passing or turning left; or when avoiding objects, parked cars, moving vehicles, pedestrians, animals, surface or other hazards; or when the travel lane is too narrow for a bicycle and another vehicle to pass safely side by side within the lane.
Many motorists are reluctant to cross a lane line when passing a bicycle. A cyclist who "hugs the curb" unintentionally invites motorists to pass with unsafe clearance. Riding near the middle of a narrow lane helps overtaking motorists realize that they must must use the next lane to pass.
The real purpose of this law is to prevent unnecessary delay to faster traffic. Since the law cannot require unsafe operation, the phrase
as close as practicable
is highly flexible, varying widely according to conditions. Positions well away from the edge of the road can be in compliance. Section 4511.55(B) allows riding two abreast. However, cyclists should avoid unnecessary delay to other traffic. Please be courteous and "single up" when other drivers wish to pass if such passing is safe and reasonable. There is no violation if any of the following apply: (1) If there is no traffic being delayed; (2) If the cyclists are traveling as fast as other traffic; (3) If traffic can reasonably pass by using another lane; (4) If the lane is too narrow or it is otherwise unsafe for passing.
Do you need the Braille version?
I guess so. Copy just the part that says, "Stay two abreast at all times because everyone else should have to wait because you are a bicyclist"

Lady Gaga Defends Lindsay Lohan as Liz Taylor: "They Always Try to Knock The Greats Down"
Lindsay Lohan may have plenty of haters, but she also has some good friends. Charlie Sheen is rumored to have given Lindsay $100,000 to help her pay off tax debts, and Lady Gaga recently tweeted her support for LiLo's performance in Liz & Dick.
Lady Gaga and Lindsay have become good buddies — they had a sleepover with friends over the summer at the Chateau Marmont, and Page Six said LiLo landed a role in one of Gaga's new music videos.
Lindsay's Lifetime biopic Liz & Dick aired on Sunday, and got bashed by several critics. But Mother Monster tweeted support for Lindsay on Monday, writing, "you did a beautiful job on Liz & Dick, Let no one bring u down, Liz didnt, they always try to knock the greats down a few pegs."
Weirdly enough, the tweet isn't shown on Gaga's Twitter timeline, but the Wall Street Journal posted a screenshot of the support. Did Lady G delete the post? Maybe she realized it was kind of a backhanded compliment to acknowledge the haters while comparing Lindsay to one of the "greats," thereby inviting more criticism.
Anyway, did you catch Liz & Dick on Sunday? If so, what did you think?

Thein Sein pulls pin on visit to Thailand for WEF
Myanmar President Thein Sein has cancelled a trip to Thailand for an international economic forum that also invited opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi, officials said Sunday.
"The president has no plans to go to Bangkok," said a senior government official, who would not be named.
Thein Sein had been scheduled to make a speech about Myanmar's future at the World Economic Forum (WEF) on East Asia which will be held in Bangkok on Thursday and Friday.
The government had also invited Myanmar's president to visit the kingdom on Friday.
"Thein Sein's planned visit was in response to a joint invitation from the WEF and the government,"
spokesman Thani Thongpakdi said. "We haven't heard of a cancellation yet."
Last week, the international forum invited Suu Kyi to the event, to the surprise of many, including her own party, the National League for Democracy (NLD).
"As the leader of a party, why should they invite her?" NLD spokesman Nyan Win said.
Suu Kyi will arrive in Bangkok tomorrow, visit a refugee camp on Wednesday and then attend the WEF as a guest speaker.
The Nobel peace laureate who spent 15 of the past 21 years under house arrest has been the leading opponent of military rule in her country over the past two decades.
Myanmar was ruled by the army during 1962-2010. It is now led by the Union Solidarity and Development Party, which is packed with ex-military men.
Thein Sein, who has pushed through political reforms since coming to power in March 2011, is a former army general. In August, he started talks with Suu Kyi, paving the way for her entry into mainstream politics via a by-election on April 1, in which the NLD won 43 out of 45 contested seats.

The Francophonie summit of French-speaking countries closed in Kinshasa on Sunday with a pledge to back the host country's territorial integrity but after French President François Hollande had snubbed President Joseph Kabila by meeting his principal opponent and criticising a "lack of democracy" in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
"France stands with the defenders of human rights," Hollande declared after meeting veteran DRC opposition leader Etienne Tshisekedi Saturday.
Tshisekedi declared himself "very satisfied" with his "brother", whose Socialist Party, like his own UDPS, is a member of the Socialist International.
Hollande described his earlier meeting with Kabila as "frank and direct", having repeatedly criticised an alleged lack of human rights in DRC before and during his visit.
The summit ended with a "Kinshasa Declaration", which was set to touch on several sensitive subjects:
- It backs the DRC's territorial integrity in the face of insurgency in Nord Kivu province, leaving Rwanda, which is accused of helping the rebels, unhappy with calls for sanctions and legal action against perpetrators of atrocities there;
- It welcomes the UN Security Council resolution calling for the preparation of a west African intervention force in Mali;
- It calls for solutions to the crises in Madagascar and Guinea Bissau;
- It calls for "good governance" in forestry and extractive industries and for more effort to combat piracy in the Gulf of Guinea.

Willimantic, Conn. - Eastern's Department of Physical Sciences hosted a show
titled, "Fall Skies and Space Update" on September 16th, in the Robert K. Wickware Planetarium. The presentation showed which constellations like Sagittarius, Capricorn, Pisces, and Vega (which is a star part of the constellation Lyra) are available to be seen just by craning your head skyward and looking into the heavens during these fall months and into wintertime. Also discussed was recent space news with the space probe Voyager I making its way out of our solar system and into the region known as interstellar space. The "space between space."
Hosts of the event, Drs. Pazameta and Sampson said "The most remarkable thing about Voyager is that there are modern refrigerators that are "higher tech" and have more computing power than Voyager which was developed and launched in 1977." The thing visitors should take away from their travels to the planetarium is that there is so much out there still to explore and learn about. According to Pazameta, "Science is the application of the laws of nature, without understanding science; you cannot have any technology, any advancement in society. That is why science is still so important in schools today."

The Short-tailed is a medium-sized albatross, with a wingspan of seven to eight feet. The adult has a white head and body and a golden crown and nape. The large pink bill is distinctive.
Once abundant and widespread in the northern Pacific, the Short-tailed Albatross was nearly driven to extinction by Japanese plume hunters in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. The species had declined to about ten pairs by 1953, but has rebounded due to conservation efforts, including protection of its main breeding areas on Torishima.
The species is listed under the U.S. Endangered Species Act as Endangered, and remains vulnerable because Torishima is an active volcano; an eruption could have a devastating impact, as could the introduction of predators, especially rats. To guard against such disasters, conservationists have translocated birds from Torishima to Mukojima Island, also in Japan, to establish a second nesting colony there.
Bycatch mitigation measures have also helped reduce the threat to these and other albatrosses posed by longline fisheries.
Most recently, a pair of Short-tails has begun breeding on Midway Atoll National Wildlife Refuge, and several individuals have been sighted at other islands in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands, providing hope that a colony will one day establish itself there.

WHBPAC Arts Education to Host SWAN LAKE Ballet Program, 2/26-5/5
Based on the overwhelming success of the Summer Ballet Camp and Nutcracker Ballet Program, young dancers will now have the opportunity to spread their wings during the spring as the WHBPAC Arts Education program introduces Dancecore's new Swan Lake Ballet Program. This residency, running from February 26 - May 5, not only provides high quality dance instruction, but also gives young people the thrill of performing alongside ballet professionals on the WHBPAC stage. Students will be placed in groups according to age and will rehearse and receive ballet instruction over the course of nine weeks. Registration is now open.
The program culminates in a public performance of Swan Lake Ballet on Saturday, May 4 at 7pm and Sunday, May 5 at 3pm. Set to the hauntingly beautiful Tchaikovsky score, Swan Lake Ballet tells the classic tale of Odette, a beautiful maiden transformed into a swan by an evil knight, and the prince who swears his enduring love for her - good vs. evil in black and white. Students will be outfitted with divine tailor-made costumes as the dance against a vibrant custom-made backdrop.
What's more, while young dancers are rehearsing, parents can relax in the newly refurbished WHBPAC Parent Lounge where they can enjoy refreshments, coffee and complementary wi-fi access. Parents will also have the opportunity to visit with the gifted WHBPAC Arts Ed Staff to discuss their child's development within the program.
The goal of the WHBPAC's Arts Education Program is to ensure that the arts play an integral role in the lives of both children and adults in our communities. WHBPAC Arts Education Programs currently provide a distinctive and comprehensive array of offerings for children and their families year-round. Participation in the performing arts can unleash creative energy, help youths find their unique voice, reinforce valuable life skills and support the development of an appreciation and lifelong love for the arts.

TO MEET the growing demand for wheat agricultural researchers must improve yields dramatically throughout the next century, warns a new report. Otherwise a growing world population will convert more unspoilt land to agriculture to avoid going hungry.
The report, from the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Centre in Texcoco, Mexico, sets a goal of increasing wheat yields by an average of 2.5 per cent a year. Demand is growing, says Matt Reynolds, a senior scientist at the centre, as developing countries increasingly turn from rice to wheat. "As countries become more industrialised, wheat becomes the preferred cereal," he says.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the "green revolution" boosted crop yields, including those of wheat, by as much as 100 per cent. This was largely due to the development of dwarf wheat varieties which made more effective use of fertilisers and irrigation. The plants were able to support increased grain yields ...

Commercial Solar Hot Water
If your business uses hot water, you can experience immediate and dramatic savings by installing a solar hot water system.
ReVision has installed hundreds of commercial solar hot water systems in Maine, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts. Our clients include:
- Hotels, motels, and inns
- Breweries
- Restaurants
- Retirement/assisted living communities
- Farms
- Schools
- Offices
- Laundromats
Solar hot water systems capture the energy of the sun and uses it to heat your water - the heated water is then pumped into your existing plumbing systems and your usage of fossil fuel energy sources (oil, gas, or electric) is reduced.
State and Federal Rebates and Incentives
Numerous state and federal rebates are available to help you make a solar energy project happen. For example:
- A federal investment tax credit worth 30% of the cost of the system
- Accelerated depreciation benefits that can reduce your tax liability by as much as 34% of the system cost
- State rebates up to $50,000 in New Hampshire
- See our Commercial Solar Power Project Gallery
- Read blog write-ups of Commercial Projects
See our full listing of state and federal solar rebates and incentives.
Solar Hot Water System Design
While the concept of capturing solar heat energy is simple, there are a number of aspects of design that are critical to building a reliable, effective system that will last 20-30 years in New England's challenging climate.
Solar hot water collectors are typically mounted on a south-facing roof section, but we also have plenty of experience ground-mounting systems when the roof is not a viable option. Major system components include the collectors, a purpose-built solar storage tank, copper piping, pump and electronic controls.
How it Works
Whenever sunshine makes the solar hot water collectors hotter than the water in the bottom of the solar storage tank, a differential temperature sensor automatically activates the solar pump affixed to the tank.
Sun-heated antifreeze is pumped from the collectors and circulated through a heat exchange coil located in the bottom of the storage tank, transferring the heat from the sun to your domestic hot water supply.
We design automatic backup into all solar domestic hot water systems so that when the sun cannot heat your water fully, you don't have to worry about cold water in your building. Options include pre-heating an on-demand gas unit, pre-heating existing water heaters, or having two-coil solar storage tanks which are supplemented by a gas or oil boiler.
Here is an example of a complex system that integrates solar with an existing gas water heater:
Types of Solar Hot Water Collectors
There are two major designs of solar hot water collectors - evacuated tube collectors and flat plate collectors. Each has pros and cons, and part of the design process is determining which collector best meets your situation.
Evacuated Tube Collectors
We use Apricus evacuated tube collectors for most solar domestic hot water systems. Apricus collectors boast a vacuum tube design which provides superior insulation to flat plate collectors, which prevents system heat losses during cold weather.
In addition to better cool weather performance, evacuated tube collectors can handle higher water temperatures, which makes them usable for process water heating.
Flat Plate Solar Hot Water Collectors
We also use German-made Wagner flat plate solar hot water collectors because of their superior summertime performance. Flate plates are also slightly less expensive.
Their improved summer performance makes flat plate solar hot water collectors a good choice for inns, hotels, restaurants and other businesses with high summer-season demand.
Both types of collectors will last 20+ winters in Maine or New Hampshire and come with ReVision's 24/7 emergency service guarantee.
Engaging ReVision Energy
If you're ready to start talking about solar for your business, please contact us for a free, professional, and in-depth consultation about your energy use and viable of solar for your location.
We also frequently bid on projects and are engaged by engineers and architects as a sub-contractor or designer on renewable energy systems.

Ukrainian state agencies to stop using Russian software
As Russia is seeking to lessen its reliance on foreign technology and digital services, Ukraine has also undertaken measures with its parliament recommending to cease using Russian-created software in state agencies.
Software created in Russia may carry cyber threat, believe the proponents of the bill – MPs Oleksandr Mochkov from Udar and Valeriy Omelchenko from the Party of Regions, – which was adopted on July 3.
The bill requires that the state inform the parliament about progress regarding implementation by December 1, 2014.
Kaspersky Labs, which provides anti-virus software to the Ukrainian government, stated that their software undergoes regular checks to ensure that it conforms to local regulations and that they intend to continue to do so.
As part of its efforts to wean itself off of foreign software, the Ukrainian government is currently considering ways to create a national operating-system and antivirus software. Options under consideration include creating a system from scratch, adopting an existing open-source system, or delivering reliable protection against the leakage of information through a current OS.

Prosecutor says Pistorius knows jail term 'almost guaranteed'
Published on Feb 22, 2013 5:03 PM
PRETORIA (AFP) - The lead lawyer prosecuting Oscar Pistorius on murder charges on Friday told a bail hearing the sprinter knows a long spell in jail is "almost guaranteed" and is a flight risk.
"He hasn't said so, but he must think that conviction is likely," said lead prosecutor Gerrie Nel. "He must realise that a long term of imprisonment is almost guaranteed."

I have a Server 2012 R2 instance that I'm using to share files and manage files (amongst other things). Currently it is NOT on a domain.
I have user based restrictions in place for file sharing. In particular I have a RAID 5 array with some 8tb of space mounted. On this drive are 3 public read-only shares for people to pull resources down from. I have myself set up as an Admin on the server so I can edit the files in the shares remotely and have a 4th share that is for my use only.
- articuno1au (articuno1au has full read write)
- newuser (newuser needs full read write)
- Public 1(public read, articuno1au has full read write)
- Public 2(public read, articuno1au has full read write)
- Public 3(public read, articuno1au has full read write)
I'm trying to set up another share for a user who will have read write access to this share. I'm wondering (short of setting up AD) if I can provide the privileges on the box without setting the user up as a local user on the server (i.e. giving them RDP access). Is that even possible?
Seems rather a waste to go through setting up AD services for the sake of setting permissions on a file share, but I want the new user to have permissions as above..
What thinks?

Non-administrator accounts do not have Remote Desktop access by default. If they do, it's because you changed a setting (see Advanced System Settings => Remote tab => Select Users dialog, which alters the members of the Remote Desktop Users security group). Creating the new user as a standard (i.e. limited) user account should be exactly what you need; additionally, if you don't want standard users to log on to the server locally, you should edit the Local Security Policy (secpol.msc) such that the Users security group does not have the Allow log on locally right (Security Settings => Local Policies => User Rights Assignment).Go to the full post

Best Rite Folding Wheasel
Julie from Cedar Rapids, IA – Verified Buyer
I would give this product 4 1/2 stars. If you need a more-substantial, but portable whiteboard, it is an excellent product! It folds and unfolds easily. When it is unfolded it is very sturdy. It moves around and turns around easily on the casters. Given the two whiteboards, it provides a good amount of whiteboard space. The melamine surfaces erase well and leave no shadowing. Just understand that this product is designed to be more-portable. Therefore, you do not have the robustness that you would have in a non-foldable product. When folded, due to the top heaviness of the two whiteboards and the bringing-together of the 4 legs and casters, it becomes awkward to move. You should plan to have 2 people to move it. Also, know that when folded, it does not stand-up by itself. You will need to have a wall and/or items to prop-it-up for storage. If you need a portable, foldable set of whiteboards and can take common sense care of it, you will love this product!!

Top heavy Wheels don't move when folded Described as adjustable, but only if you unscrew the writing surfaces and realign them on the framework, then rescrew them in
Easel is great, white board is not
Teachermom from Phx, Az – Verified Buyer
Easy assembly. Great Easel. The white board material is very difficult to erase. I have to use cleaner after each erasing. The marker does not come off. Does not work well when I am teaching- I don't have time to spray and wipe every 10 minutes.
OUR SKU # BS1141Folding Wheasel is also sometimes listed under the following manufacturer numbers: 778

Defence conducts OpenOffice.org trial
The Department of Defence has reportedly conducted an informal trial of the open source OpenOffice.org productivity suite involving some 100 users.
According to iTNews (click here for the full story), the initiative was kicked off by Defence chief technology officer Matt Yannopoulos over the past year. However, it does not appear likely the initiative will immediately broaden into a wider rollout at Defence, with Yannopoulos noting it would be a major decision for the department, which has long been a Microsoft shop.
The news comes as Australia appears to be witnessing a resurgence in interest in open source technologies this year, with the Federal Government taking several bold moves in the area in the past six months.
In January, for example, the Federal Government dramatically changed its position on the use of open source software by departments and agencies, publishing a policy which mandated the consideration of such options in any technology purchase. Previously, the Government's stated policy on open source had been one of "informed neutrality" — meaning agencies picked the technology (closed or open source) which represented the best value for money and fit for purpose.
In addition, in July the Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO), which sets central government IT policy, released a second version of its guide to open source software for departments and agencies. It appears as if the Department of Defence's trial is linked to the department's move to join the Open Technology Foundation, an organisation set up by the South Australian Government in late 2010 to promote the use of open systems in government. Defence sits on the organisation's board.
However, all three moves come after a long drought period in Australia when it comes to public sector interest in open source software.
Thoughout the middle of the past decade, heightened interest in platforms such as OpenOffice.org, the Mozilla Firefox web browser and the Linux operating system on desktops was seen in governments around Australia and even private corporations such as Telstra, as chief information officers sought alternatives to Microsoft's strong grip on the industry.
The interest resulted in few local deployments, however. Last year AGIMO revealed just three percent of government desktops were using Firefox, despite the browser's strong popularity on private machines. And this year, AGIMO revealed 99.5 percent of government desktops were running Windows, with 86 percent using Microsoft Office.
In addition, AGIMO's survey of agencies last year showed that those percentages were actually slated to increase — with no agencies planning to upgrade to any software in the future, other than that provided by Microsoft. Windows 7, Office 2007 and Office 2010 were the sole platforms mentioned.
Wow — you simply have to give Defence chief information officer Greg Farr some credit for changing the internal culture within the department's technology operation since he joined the organisation in November 2007. From being one of the government's most conservative technology operations to running trials of OpenOffice.org — that's a big jump for Defence. Much of the credit should also be laid at the doorstep of Yannopoulos, who we hear is quite the innovative thinker.
It's also fantastic to see interest in OpenOffice.org kicking off again in government. While there was quite a degree of interest in the suite half a decade ago, that interest has waned over the past few years, as Microsoft has solidified the integration between different layers of its enterprise software stack. It's just too hard to pick anything other than Office these days, when the suite offers such great integration with other platforms such as Exchange, Active Directory, Windows Server and so on.
In this context, its great to see some competition creeping slowly back (even just a little bit) into the desktop productivity suite market. It's never a great outcome when one player dominates any market as strongly as Microsoft is this scene right now.
However, realistically, it is unlikely Defence's OpenOffice.org trial will really get anywhere in the long term. At its heart, Defence is quite a conservative organisation, and it won't want to be the first in the Federal Government to deploy a radically different desktop software suite.
Farr and Yannopoulos will be quite aware that their efforts are much better spent on initiatives such as the overhaul of Defence's troubled ERP systems, for example, rather with toying with alternative desktop suites which offer no real sustainable organisation advantage over the incumbent. It's a pity — but that's enterprise IT life in 2011.

I feel like once again the government is just a tad out of date. OpenOffice.org is slowly being eroded by other productivity suites like LibraOffice, because of its bloated nature.
*LibreOffice, but they're similar enough at the moment for comparison, I'd say. Deployment no.
Start with standards. Point out that DOCX YYYX was created to subvert the opportunity in Open. Point out that OpenOffice et al are more compatible with Microsoft Office than is Microsoft Office.
Germany's defence department got rid of MS software in preference for open source software due to closed source security concerns., in particular a cryptographic key in Windows Server possibly connected with the NSA.
We have been using OpenOffice in our Law Firm of 20 users for 4 years now. After the first 6 weeks of people complaining that they just like MS Office better and never giving a good reason we have had very few problems, fewer than we had on MS Office.
That's good to hear. Do the users still dislike using OpenOffice comapred to MS Office, though? Did they just shutup and grumble internally, or are they actually using OpenOffice and getting their work done effectively and quickly without it?

To be honest I was quite disappointed. the packaging was open, the garment hadn't been folded and was badly creased. The quality of the garment was poor, with stitching already coming loose...On reflection this was a very expensive purchase and if had of seen it before, I probably would have bought it. Sorry, but did ask.

Fits well, looks great on and fast delivery.

Dear Goat Cheese,
Thank you for being amazing. Thank you for your endless varieties: chevre, feta, cheddar, brie, jack, mozzarella…Thank you for letting me be weird and refer to your mozzarella as "goazzarella". Its way more fun. You are nomalicious. I heart you.
Obsessively Sincerely Yours,
1 eggplant
butter or coconut oil (optional)
your favorite organic marinara sauce
goat mozzarella (or "goazzarella" as I like to call it)
fresh basil
Preheat oven to 450. Slice eggplant into 1/2 inch slices. You can coat them with oil/butter or not, I tried each variety and they both worked. Place eggplant slices on a cookie sheet (oiled if you're not coating the eggplants with anything). Bake for 10 minutes. Pull out of the oven and top with marinara. Bake for a couple of minutes to heat the marinara. Add the cheese and broil for another minute. Top with freshly chopped basil.
Goazzarella goodness was accompanied by these Ice Cream Sandwich Pancakes, I filled them with Peanut Butter Ice Cream for Britney and made myself a bowl of stevia sweetened Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream.

The science mission - Antarctica's hidden world

BAS is not responsible for the content of external sites.
Exploring the climate history of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet and the geological structure and evolution of the Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains are primary goals of this flagship International Polar Year (IPY) project. Buried by up to 4km ice, and surrounded by under-ice lakes, this enigmatic, virtually unexplored mountain chain, larger than the Alps may well be the birthplace of the vast East Antarctic Ice Sheet. During the mission science teams will hunt for Antarctica's oldest ice by selecting sites for ice core and bedrock drilling.
This multi-national, multi-disciplinary science venture brings science teams from the UK, USA, Germany, Australia, China and Japan to one of the most scientifically, technically and physically ambitious Antarctic projects yet to be undertaken.
To create a 3-dimensional map of what lies beneath the ice sheet two aircraft, one from British Antarctic Survey (BAS) and one from the US Antarctic Programme (USAP), will complete the first aerogeophysical survey over the Gamburtsev Mountains and Dome A in East Antarctica. Results from this aircraft mission, combined with data from a suite of 26 seismic instruments on the ice, will unlock the secrets hidden beneath the ice.
The science mission addresses four fundamental questions:
- How were the enigmatic Gamburtsev Subglacial Mountains formed?
- What role does topography play in the birth of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet?
- Where is the oldest climate record more likely to be found?
- What are the tectonic controls on subglacial lakes?
Two strands of scientific operation, utilising several aircraft conducting between 80 and 100 survey flights, are required to build the picture of what lies beneath the ice:
- The aerogeophysics teams, (GAMBIT) led by Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) and British Antarctic Survey scientists, involves two survey aircraft.
- The seismic team, (GAMSEIS) led by the Washington University and Penn State scientists, will use the USAP utility Twin Otter to deploy and service 26 seismometers on the ice.

|The story of a young husband's death, and the grieving and healing of those who knew him, will lead readers through their own losses.
From the Publisher:
The story of a young husband's death, and the grieving and healing of those who knew him, will lead readers through their own losses.Robert Downham died on Wednesday, August 23, 1967 of Reticulum Cell Sarcoma. Three weeks before he died, he did not know he was sick. Nine days after diagnosis, he was dead. This is his story, and the story of Sally, his young wife and mother of his two young children, and all the others whose lives touched his life - and who had to go on living. It is about life and death and grief and the lessons that the survivors learned.This inspiring work chronicles Sally Miller's thirty-year journey of grief and recovery. A professional educator, Dr. Miller has constructed a book that leads readers through their grief as they read about hers. Along with her own moving story, Miller provides a framework that readers can use to identify and process their own grief. Mourning and Dancing is designed for people who are trying to cope with any loss, even if years have passed since the loss or losses occurred. Its format includes true-life stories of the author's family and individuals with whom she has walked through grief.
The vignette-style of presentation allows the newly aggrieved to read the book in small doses, a key ingredient for healing. Written after thirty years of learning, this touching book will show readers how to incorporate loss into their lives, how to live with the pain, and how to have hope and heal as a result of that brave endeavor.

Since 2008 the balance sheet of the Swiss National Bank is 280% higher, this is the equivalent of 60% of Swiss GDP. So did most other central banks, too. But there is one big difference: The risk for the SNB is far higher, the SNB nearly exclusively possesses assets denominated in volatile foreign currency.
The Fed or the Central Bank of Japan mostly own local government bonds, they run an inflation risk but no currency risk.
The following graph from UBS shows how the SNB has increased both assets and liabilities, its balance sheet expansion.
We like to compare the increases with the fall of the EUR/CHF exchange rate.
The graph shows that a decrease of reserves was only possible when EUR/CHF appreciated. Maintaining the EUR/CHF relatively stable was only possible when reserves strongly rose.
- Between March and June 2009, the SNB managed to maintain the 1.50 EUR/CHF "line in sand" only thanks to intensive FX intervention.
- Same picture in May 2010: Strong demand for the Swiss Franc, even multiplied by the first Greek crisis. The EUR/CHF fell to 1.40. When the SNB had abandoned the FX interventions the Swiss Franc reached parity with the dollar and EUR/CHF 1.30 in September 2010.
- After the typical US rebound in Q4/2010, the Swissie soared again. Like regularly it reached a first peak in the May 2011 up to a EUR/CHF 1.22 and a USD/CHF of 0.83. Then the increase of the Swiss currency even accelerated to reach EUR/CHF of 1.0076 and USD/CHF 0.71 in August 2011.
The following tables show the SNB balance sheet in comparison to the one of the Bank of Japan, another central bank that strongly intervenes in markets.
As said, the huge difference is that the Swiss buy foreign assets and foreign currency whereas the Japanese possess only 5% foreign assets, see more details.

There are things that I regret in my lifetime. Things that I wish I could go back in time and change. I wonder... how would my life be different now?
What if... what if, when I was a kid, I hadn't stolen from the grocery store? What if I had resisted that urge to eat sugar wafer cookies from the bin? What if I left the walnuts alone and hadn't stuck them in my pocket? I wouldn't have gotten scolded.
Or, that one time when I was youngin', what if I hadn't eaten so many Cheddar Bay Biscuits and popcorn shrimp at Red Lobster? I wouldn't have had to lie down in the booth and clutch my stomach.
There was this time in fifth grade, when I was painting my nails on the kitchen table, and spilled nail polish remover. If I had painted them in my room, I wouldn't have ruined the brand new kitchen table that my parents bought.
More recently, what if I hadn't worn those super slippery socks on Wednesday night? I wouldn't have slipped on the stairs and spilled coffee and pastries everywhere. I wouldn't have drenched my only pair of warm, fuzzy pants, and had to clean up the mess for twenty minutes.
The giant 2 lb. bag of gummy bears seemed like SUCH a good idea the other night. My thinking: "I love gummy bears! That's not too many at all!" What was I thinking? Gummy bears aren't that good. And they make you sick after eating twenty of them. If I hadn't bought that bag of gummy bears, I'd still like gummy bears. And I wouldn't be stuck with a 1 3/4 lb. bag of gummy bears.
BUT. The greatest regret in my life was my choice to watch an episode of Jersey Shore. Because now I'm hooked. BEST SHOW EVER! ;) I know who's getting the Emmy this year!
What's going to happen this Thursday on the two hour-episode? We know the gang goes to Atlantic City, but what other shenanigans will happen? Will Sammi Sweetheart and Ronnie have another fallout? Will the Situation avoid the grenades? Will Snooki get punched in the face, yet again? Ooooh. Can't wait.
I really don't feel like talking about granola, even though this granola was really good, and I LOVE granola. Just not in the mood. I created this granola recipe, because I was frustrated at how expensive granola can be in the stores. It's so much cheaper to make it at home, and you can control what goes into it - including fat and sugar.
This granola is low fat, and is made with pumpkin puree, brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon, vanilla, oats, pecans and raisins, and I threw in some chopped up dried apples and figs, too. You could add whatever nuts, spices, or dried fruit you had on hand.
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup Grape Nuts
1/3 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup finely chopped dried apples
1/3 cup finely chopped dried figs, dates, or plums
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Coat a large cookie sheet with cooking spray.
In a large bowl, whisk together, pumpkin, brown sugar, maple syrup, butter, cinnamon, vanilla and salt until combined; stir in oats, Grape Nuts and pecans until combined. Spread onto cookie sheet.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crisp. Remove from oven and stir in raisins, apple and figs, and cool.

- United Kingdom
Little is known about Benjamin "DeMusliM" Baker, the so-called "Devil Terran." Some say that he was born in a volcano six thousand years ago, that he can strike a man dead with a single glance. There are others who swear that his reserved outer shell conceals a demonic force so ancient and powerful that, were it ever to be released, the universe as we comprehend it would simply cease to exist.
In Starcraft II, DeMusliM has always been a force to be reckoned with. He won the first HomeStory Cup in 2010, crushing WhiteRa, HasuObs and Brat_OK in the process. In January 2011, he took third at the IEM V European Finals by defeating the fearsome Terran Tarson. An elbow and hand injury, most probably sustained while deflecting a giant asteroid on a crash course with Earth, took DeMusliM out of competition for a few months, preventing him from attending the IEM World Championship.

94th Grand Canyon Anniversary: Remarkable Photographs
The act passed by Congress to make an official state park out of America's contribution to the Seven Natural Wonders of the World happened 94 years ago today. The Grand Canyon itself is about 17 million years old, but since no one was around to Instagram the 277 miles of carving by the Colorado River back then – who cares? We're not geologists! And we know that because we don't make nearly as much money as they do.
The Grand Canyon really is something of a pantheon to a natural world long before ours and has had magnetic appeal to photographers for ages. We've culminated a small collection here of some truly remarkable photographs that simply need to be seen. And if you really want to take your celebration to the next level, follow it up with a movie night.

L&M Turkish Blend Cigarette Reviews
There are 7 L&M Turkish Blend Flavor reviews in the database.
I switched from Marlboro Reds to Marlboro Blacks to L & M Turkish Blend. Besides the price is cheaper, the Flavor is better than the aforementioned two. Bare in mind that they are also a Phillip Morris product.
excellent value & taste
Purchased my first pack today and LOVE em ☺☺☺ Will buy again no doubt.
these and the lights are my favorite cigarettes, i really enjoy the flavor and they burn steady. i used to smoke marlboro and tried these one day and i'm hooked. also they are good about coupons on their website
A much better discount brand than Pall Mall, to be sure. These things have a sweet, flavorful taste and a smooth burn that makes them quite pleasant; it's pretty surprising that a brand this cheap tastes so solid. On the downside, though, not very much nicotine in these, meaning I don't get the buzz that I would like. They also feel rather weak, too, and the flavor is a bit underwhelming -- not particularly satisfying despite how pleasant they taste. Again, though, for cheap cigarettes, these are pretty good, all things considered.
These were my brand of smokes, but I switched to Camel Turkish Royals. They are pretty much the same, only Camels are cheaper now. I would take these over any other cigarette any day, provided the price is low.

Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings has placed two new Boeing 747-8 freighters with freight provider Panalpina.
The aircraft, to be operated by Atlas Air, will be delivered in the first half of 2012 and will enter service for Panalpina upon delivery.
"We are delighted to provide Panalpina, one of our most long-standing customers, with the industry's newest freighter," said Atlas Air's president and CEO William J. Flynn.
"These new aircraft will give Panalpina increased capacity and revenue-generating capability in a growing global airfreight market, while improving fuel economy."
The 747-8F is expected to provide 16% more revenue cargo volume than the 747-400F, said Atlas Air.
Panalpina is the second Atlas Air customer to enter into a long-term aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance agreement for the 747-8F.
Atlas Air has 12 747-8Fs on order and will take delivery of the first three this year. The three aircraft will be operated by British Airways World Cargo under a five-year wet-lease agreement.

The Rwandan community in the Netherlands at the weekend concluded an event that raised Euro 33,400 (about Rwf28.6m) towards the Agaciro Development Fund.
The launch and fundraising event drew around 300 Rwandans and friends.
During the event, Rwandan artiste Afsana Rahamatali entertained the audience. while different items bearing Agaciro-related message were auctioned.
Participants were encouraged to selflessly support the Fund as it was created to supplement other efforts related to specific national priorities, according to a statement from the embassy.
Alphonse Muleefu, a PhD student in the Netherlands, yesterday said, that the event that started at midday till late in the evening was well attended.
"Agaciro is one of those things where the government has been direct in making it clear that the country's development is in our own hands. The symbolism is beyond the usual contribution through taxes," Muleefu said.
During the event, Immaculee Uwanyiligira, Rwanda's envoy in the Netherlands, explained the concept behind the Fund and encouraged selflessness.

The council's meals on wheels service has changed this month and now provides hot meals to its customers on seven rather than just four days a week.
Since 1 July, eligible customers across the city have been able to choose to have a hot meal delivered to their home every day of the week, 365 days a year if they wish. The new service provides meals which are freshly cooked in special vehicles on their way to customer's homes, instead of being cooked en masse and kept warm for long periods of time. The scheme was piloted in the north east of the city about 18 months ago, and was so well received that it has now been rolled out across the whole city.
Voluntary sector partners that currently deliver meals on behalf of the council were invited to apply for contracts for the new seven day service in autumn 2009.
One such organisation is the Women's Royal Voluntary Service (WRVS), who have been delivering meals in Otley and Poole for many years. They were successful in their application for a contract and have been awarded two new routes; Wetherby and Armley. The routes that they were previously delivering to have been taken over by the council with no disruption to service.
Councillor Lucinda Yeadon, executive board member with responsibility for adult social care said:
"Hot, tasty, nourishing food is a vitally important part of achieving and maintaining a healthy and happy old age.
"The new meals at home service is part of our commitment to improving standards of care for people in Leeds, and I'm delighted that our customers can now get a hot meal delivered to them seven days a week if that's what they want. Families and carers will also benefit from greater peace of mind in the knowledge that someone is visiting their relative every day of the week."
Mrs Sue Hinchcliffe, who has a hot meal delivered to her home five days a week, said:
"Having a hot meal delivered more often has been really good for me. The meals are very enjoyable and there are plenty of different things to choose from. The quality is still very good and I am extremely happy with the service and the lady that brings my meals to me."
Sue Collins, WRVS head of service for Yorkshire and Humber said:
"Our volunteers have provided a fantastic service for older people in Otley, and we would like to thank them for making it such a success.
"We're sad that we won't be continuing to provide meals on wheels in Otley, but very pleased to be running two other seven day a week rounds in Leeds. We're confident that the council's meals on wheels service will be well received by customers in Otley, and have worked together to make sure that the changeover went smoothly."

Hot meals at home service extended to seven days a week

Leeds students join Prince Charles at commemoration ceremony

Young people from Leeds gathered with The Prince of Wales in France this week to pay tribute to soldiers who fell in the First World War.
The service was held at the Neuve-Chapelle Indian Memorial in northern France, to pay tribute to the contribution of Muslim, Sikh and Hindu soldiers from the British Indian Army during the First World War.
The young people aged between 14 and 17, were accompanied by the Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor James McKenna and the Lady Mayoress at a commemoration ceremony held on Monday 19 July.
They remembered and honoured over 4,000 Indian soldiers with no known grave, who lost their lives at the Battle of Neuve-Chapelle in 1915, alongside 7,000 British soldiers.
During the ceremony, Prince Charles was invited to lay a wreath given to him by a student from Allerton Grange School and a moving poem was recited, which one of the students wrote to mark this occasion.
Their Royal Highnesses were also presented with visual art and poetry prepared by students at the school and by a youth group from the Burley, Seacroft, Beeston and Morley areas of Leeds, who are acting as arts ambassadors for the city, supported by Youth Point and the Find Your Talent programme.
One piece of art consisted of numerous painted panels that, placed side by side, spelled the word 'memory', which the arts ambassadors produced jointly with students from Turin, Italy and Leeds' partner city Lille, France. This was created as part of the two week Lille International Artistic Residency – a unique cultural exchange that encourages an openness to other cultures, a spirit of solidarity and respect for diversity.
The long-standing Leeds-Lille partnership dates back to 1968 and has brought many such opportunities to involve young people in exciting and valuable cross-cultural learning exchanges.
Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor Jim McKenna said:
"I am delighted that the active partnership with Lille, has resulted in young people from Leeds being invited to represent the UK at this important memorial service and gain this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
"The ceremony at Neuve-Chapelle has provided a great opportunity for our young people to learn the lessons from both of the World War conflicts and to honour the memory of the commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives."

Multiple charges against woman arrested Friday in drug, endangerment case
May 13, 2014 - By Katie Roenigk, Staff Writer
Tlana Jealous, 22, of Riverton, was arrested at about 2 p.m. Friday in the 600 block of West Main Street for possession of methamphetamine, use of methamphetamine, child endangerment and a warrant for failure to appear.
Police says she had left her two daughters -- a 2-year-old and a 6-month-old -- in a vehicle at the Rodeway Inn with two unconscious subjects and a bag that contained trace amounts of methamphetamine.
Police were called to the scene by a woman who was staying at the hotel. She said she was walking to her room when she heard a baby screaming. The sound reportedly was coming from a tan 2004 Buick Rainier parked nearby.
"She looked through the window and saw a male and female were passed out in the car," Riverton Police Department Capt. Eric Murphy said. "One child was crawling around in the driver's seat, while another very small infant was lying next to the car seat on the bench screaming."
The woman removed the two children from the vehicle and brought them to the hotel office.
When they arrived on scene, police made contact with Jealous, who was inside the hotel. They said she had been using drugs but was not under the influence of alcohol.
"Tlana had several marks on her arms, extreme dry mouth, and her responses seemed to be noticeably slow and sluggish," Murphy said.
She consented to a search of her vehicle. Officials said they found a small zip-lock bag containing trace amount of meth in the Buick, and Jealous's purse contained a rolled up $20 bill with white-colored dust on the inside.
"We showed Tlana what we found and asked her when was the last time she used," Murphy said. "She said about 3 o' clock that morning."
Officials contacted the Northern Arapaho Department of Social Services Child Protection Service to take the children into custody. Murphy explained the justification for the child endangerment charge.
"The 6-month-old was actually moving around freely in the car and had very direct access to the methamphetamine," he said. "The baggie was on the kick plate of the front driver's side door. (Plus) the fact she left them in there with two people who were passed out."

In this course, search engine optimization (SEO) expert Peter Kent walks step-by-step through the process of reviewing the content and markup of an existing web site to improve its ranking in search engine results. This course offers a consultant's take on how to analyze each component—from keywords to content to code—and determine what improvements are necessary to become more visible to search engines like Yahoo!, Bing, and Google.
This course was updated on 10/12/2012.
Meta tags are little pieces of information stored in a web page but hidden from the person viewing the page. They're intended to be read by machines, not people. These tags appear near the top of the source code in the head section of the document, that is, before the ending head tag. The most important, from an SEO perspective, is the description meta tag, which contains a description of the page. We'll look at that in the next video. Then there is the keywords meta tag, a tag designed to hold a list of keywords related to the page contents.
We'll look at that in a separate video, too. There are various other meta tags you'll run across, many of which are more or less irrelevant from an SEO perspective, things like that generator tag, which shows what tools was used to create the page; content-type tag, which defines the character set used in the page; and the copyright tag. Some site owners use various meta tags, even making up their own to stuff keywords into them in the hope that the search engine will read them. It's a waste of time.
In general, search engines are not interested in content that is hidden from users, making exception to very specific tags, such as the description tag. There are a few other tags that can be used for SEO purposes. I won't go into great detail. You can Google for the details. There is the Robots meta tag, which can be used to tell search engines do not index a page, or not follow links on the page. It can also be used to tell the search engines to index the page or follow the links in the page, but that's rather pointless, as the search engine will index and follow if they want to, not because you tell them to.
There is also a googlebot meta tag that provides instructions specifically to Google. You can use this to tell Google not to archive--that is, cache--your web pages. There are also geo tags, which are used to specify location for sites that represent the local businesses. We'll look at that in a later video when we discuss localization. We mostly concerned with the description and keywords tags though, and as you'll see, not particularly concerned with the keywords tag, even.

It's sunny and warm, spring has sprung, and I for one am totally stoked. Why? Well, first of all pitchers and catchers report to spring training in a few days, and by the time you read this the baseball season will be in high gear. But it's not just that the best game ever invented in the history of the world celebrates its season opener, it's the time of the year that it represents: spring. Yes, sweet, sunshiny spring.
I know most people think of New Year's day as the start of the year; the day to turn things around, lose a few kilos, or finally tell your boss to take a flyin' leap. Myself, I just see it as filler time. For me, spring is the real start of the year and I don't mean to take care of all that other crap I mentioned, either. I'm talking about stuff you want to do. Stuff you look forward to doing. Stuff you physically can't do during the winter while freezing your heinie off in 15-degree-below-zero Duluth, Minnesota.
And just to clarify, I'm not talking about the honey-do projects. Everyone has those and, yes, they have to get done, but I just see those as a gateway chore to getting to what I really want to do: busting out the welding torches, dusting off the roll-away and floor jacks and getting busy on cool car projects.
Hopefully, while you were sitting around drinking beer, watching the second best game ever invented (Football), and significantly adding to your gross tonnage, you were flipping through stacks of manufacturers catalogs and planning your future weekends.
I know I was.
Spring is the perfect time to start these projects. Why? The obvious reason is the weather and the extended amount of daylight of course, but it's also when the calendar lines up a nice string of three-day weekend holidays that spread out nicely 'till the first week of September.
I like to think of the President's Day holiday as the kickoff for project season. I know you folks in cold-weather states are gonna start balling about how that is the coldest time of the year, but it's usually when we get a sweet unseasonable heatwave here in So Cal, and it's my column so stifle yourselves and listen up. Besides, there's no crying in project season.
Now, I'm gonna pass on a little knowledge to you first timers so you don't get in over your heads. Start off the season with something inexpensive and easy to do. Maybe some interior/exterior detailing. And I'm not talking about a five-minute splash-and-dash hobo spritz-and-dry with your new Sham Wows you got for Christmas neither. I'm talking about a comprehensive full detail: Clay bars, wax, polish, the works. Put a cherry on this starter project with some snazzy new mats. If you absolutely must turn a wrench and install something, treat yourself to a nice cushy GT Steering Wheel. (I'm verbally authorizing that in case the li'l woman questions the $148.50 on her Visa)

Economics of Inequality
Over the past 30-40 years, inequality has significantly increased in most developed economies and has virtually exploded in the United States. The causes and consequences of this heightened inequality are of great interest to social scientists and political actors. In this course, we will review the history of inequality and the manner in which it has been addressed by economists. We will investigate potential consequences for economic dynamism and political democracy of ever-increasing wealth and income disparities and declining social mobility. This will form a foundation from which we can discuss questions that are especially poignant for contemporary societies and policy makers. Why do some groups see record increases in wealth and income, while others see theirs stagnate or decline? Is there an optimal level of inequality? If so, what is it? What sorts of policies can help achieve that level, and to what extent is inequality determined by deeper economic factors like technology and historical patterns of education and wealth? The first part of the course will explore different ways in which to measure and conceive of inequality and its historical trends both within and between countries. In the second part, we will discuss and analyze theories of inequality from neoclassical, Marxian, institutionalist, and other perspectives. Finally, we will examine the sources and consequences of inequality, including potential policy solutions. This will entail delving into relevant research from other social science disciplines such as psychology and sociology.
