With a grant from the Skirball Foundation and certified by the National Institute of Jewish Hospice, Skirball Hospice carries the Jewish Home's nearly century-old tradition of excellence and dedication into the community. Skirball services patients of all religions and ethnicities within the greater Los Angeles areas including Malibu, Santa Clarita and Canyon Country, with the same skill, dignity and warmth that has been the Jewish Home's trademark since 1912. The services are paid for by Medicare, Medi-Cal and most private insurance companies. Multiple studies have proven that the last six months of life have been the most costly to the healthcare delivery system. It is often a time when persons have multiple hospitalizations and/or treatments that are not successful in curing or prolonging life. It is during this time that patients and families often say "enough," and their focus changes from curing to comfort. This is the time when patients and families request hospice.
Skirball Hospice provides its services 24 hours a day, seven days per week to meet the needs of patients and families. "We frequently get requests from physicians and other referral sources after normal business hours including weekends and holidays, and we are there to assure those needing the services do not need to be in pain or otherwise suffer," says Paulson.

CNN world's 10 most loved cities: Cape Town is there
Roy Barford
Roy Barford has lived in more than 10 cities and towns around the world, but decided to settle in Cape Town. He loves the fact that he can enjoy both urban and natural adventures every day, surrounded by creativity and tranquility.
He is a sports fanatic who can often be found at Newlands rugby and cricket stadiums, while he also enjoys outdoor adventure activities and exploring Cape Town's vast nightlife options.
Roy has written for publications such as the Sunday Tribune, Cape Argus and the Star, and has also blogged for websites such as Southafrica.net, Tablemountain.net.
CNNGo, the travel wing of CNN International, has listed Cape Town as one of the World's 10 Most Loved Cities, adding to the Mother City's long list of accolades.
The CNNGo website explains how the top 10 cities were decided: "We've trawled the Internet for media 'best of' praise, solicited recommendations from local correspondents, bloggers and travellers, scraped the bottom of every Internet and press barrel we could find for reasons not to include these conurbations, and still came up with what we think is a definitive list of the world's most loved cities."
During 2011, Cape Town was named TripAdvisor Traveler's Choice Best Destination, as well as the 2014 World Design Capital, while Table Mountain was listed as a New7Wonder of Nature.
More than a quarter of a million people "like" the I ♥ Cape Town Facebook page and Cape Town gets thousands of rave reviews on travel advice websites, such as TripAdvisor.
The World's 10 Most Loved Cities according to CNNGo are:
Cape Town
New York City
San Francisco
Below is a promotional video that CNNGo created for a series about Cape Town last year. The footage captures the energy and diversity of the Mother City brilliantly.
The song playing in the background is Dinosaur by Cape Town group Jax Panik. If you like it, watch the music video on YouTube.

Campaigning for public office on a platform of demonizing the wealthy is not new. Franklin D. Roosevelt, in a speech to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia in 1936, for instance, denounced "economic royalists" who, he said, stood in the way of achieving income equality.
The theme emerges periodically in political campaigns, but usually as part of a larger, more issue-oriented strategy.
President Obama, though, has chosen it as the centerpiece of his re-election bid, attacking presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney's record as an executive of Bain Capital, a private equity firm which enjoyed enormous financial success purchasing distressed companies and investing in them as part of a turnaround strategy. Romney, as a result, became a multi-millionaire.
Not all of Bain's ventures turned out well, however, and bankruptcies, factory closings, and unemployment dot its record.
The Obama's campaign has seized on those failures, accusing Bain and Romney of enriching themselves at the expense of American workers. Romney responded by pointing out that failures are a constant part of private equity firms—that's why they're called ventures—and that Bain's successes in rescuing companies and retaining and creating thousands of jobs far outpaces the failures.
Presumably, the Obama campaign settled on this line of attack after testing it with focus groups and scientific polling.
Both the President and Vice President Biden have hammered away at Romney and Bain Capital to the exclusion of nearly any other issue.
In doing so, the President risks subjecting himself to criticism that he so lacks confidence in his own record that his only alternative is to distract voter attention by a relentless assault on Romney's private business dealings.
The strategy presupposes Americans resent the wealthy and will take their anger out on the Republican candidate in November, a belief that the message of the Occupy Wall Street movement sunk in across the country. It is not at all clear that such resentment is either widespread or very deep.
In fact, polling data reveals Romney's ability to address the nation's economic problems is at least equal to or slightly better than Obama's. The findings suggest that Romney's successful private sector experience equips him to deal effectively with economic growth and job creation issues at the national level.
The President insists he is not attacking private equity, only Romney's record as a leader in the industry. In other words, private equity is fine but the fortune amassed by Romney is not.
The President is walking a fine line with this argument, one that assumes voters will be able to easily distinguish between Romney and his business dealings.
He's asking that voters understand the subtlety and nuance of his position, despite all evidence that subtlety and nuance have never been a part of political campaigns.
A campaign theme whose success depends on voters' ability and willingness to parse the message is problematic.

LSU's Athletes Excel On and Off the Field
Sophomore business major Eric Reid Jr. is a nerd.
A dork. A dweeb. A geek.
Call him whatever you like: the facts are indisputable. He knew what he wanted to major in – business administration – before he enrolled at LSU. He was named to an honor roll as a freshman. He's on course to graduate in 3.5 years. He doesn't hesitate to admit that winning a national academic award is one of his major collegiate goals.
But there's something that sets Reid apart from the rest of the honor roll students in the E. J. Ourso College of Business: When the No. 1-ranked LSU football team takes the field in Tiger Stadium to play Florida on Saturday afternoon, he'll be out there at safety trying to disrupt the Gators' offense, swatting away passes intended for receivers and delivering devastating tackles to ball carriers.
Yeah, he's that Eric Reid. The one who is second on the team this year in fumbles recovered and total tackles. The one who had interception returns of 31 and 32 yards against No. 12 Arkansas and No. 18 Texas A&M respectively as a true freshman last season.
Forget 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday –Reid is a nerd who one day soon will be paid handsomely to work on Sundays.
LSU's athletic prowess is no secret to anyone who follows the Tigers. The football team is currently the top-ranked team in the country, and has won two BCS national championships. The baseball team has won six national championships since the start of the 1990s. The men's and women's track and field teams have won 31 national titles between them, and have sent numerous athletes to the Olympics (where they live for the gold literally as well as figuratively). Last year LSU became the first school in history to win the men's and women's individual golf titles in the same season.
But there's one thing that ESPN, CBS and ABC rarely mention while broadcasting Tigers and Lady Tigers games – LSU's athletes pull their weight in the classroom too.
College athletes have, it must be said, a bad reputation in the eyes of the public when it comes to academic prowess. They're slackers. Their GPAs are below the Mendoza Line. The only books they read are playbooks.
But for the most part that stereotype is simply untrue.

Eddy Perez/University Relations
The LSU Lady Tigers golf team, led by 2011 national champion Austin Ernst – who fired a hole-in-one during the final round of the NCAA Championships – graduated 100 percent of its student-athletes between 2004 and 2008. The men's golf, women's cross country, gymnastics, women's tennis and volleyball teams are all ranked in the 70th-80th percentile among all sports in the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate, making them among the top 20-30 percent of academically-achieving collegiate sports teams nationwide. Among SEC football teams, only Vanderbilt and Georgia graduate a higher percentage of players than LSU.
As of 2003, the most recent year that a complete data set is available from the NCAA, student-athletes were 15 percent more likely to graduate from college than non-athletes.
When you look at the numbers, the stereotype of the dumb jock crumbles faster than a wide receiver who knows Reid is about to tackle him.
"We have a stigma that we may not be the brightest ones, but I think something [the public] doesn't realize is the amount of studying that goes on," said punter D.J. Howard, who averaged 38.9 yards per punt while filling in for an injured Brad Wing this year.
Howard, who is currently working on his Master of Business Administration after graduating with a management degree in May, was one of 15 LSU football players named to the 2010 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll. Another two football players – including Reid – were named to the 2011 SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll.
In all, 162 LSU student-athletes were named to the SEC's various honor rolls during the 2010-11 academic year, a list that in addition to Reid, Howard and Ernst also includes Major League Baseball first-round draft pick Mikie Mahtook (baseball), 2011 NCAA champion John Peterson (men's golf), 2010 SEC Co-Freshman of the Year Rachel Fico (softball), Canadian U-20 national team member Allysha Chapman (soccer) and volleyball standout Madie Jones.
The 162 athletes – who, among other on-field criteria, needed GPAs above 3.0 to be eligible for the SEC's academic awards – represent 24 First-Team All-America, seven Second-Team All-America, 17 Honorable Mention All-America and one Freshman All-America awards; two NCAA championships; and three SEC championships.
"Being named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll is really important because the more athletes we have on the honor roll, the better LSU looks," said Chapman, who represented Canada at the 2008 FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup and picked up First-Team All-SEC honors last year. "It means a lot for LSU to know that we're not giving our scholarships away to just athletes; we're giving them away to students."
"It means that my hard work paid off," said Reid of being named to the 2011 SEC Freshman Academic Honor Roll. "I got recognized for my work, and I'm happy about it. A goal I set for myself is to be an Academic All-America. I'm still working on that, but hopefully later on I'll get that."
Like teammate Howard, Reid is a student in the E. J. Ourso College of Business. However, the safety and the punter aren't the biggest bookworms on the football team – that honor, both figuratively and literally, goes to 6-6, 301-pound left guard Josh Dworaczyk, a senior working towards his degree in education.
That would be Dworaczyk's second degree, as he already graduated from LSU with his first earlier this year.
Reid, Howard and Dworaczyk – who will not suit up for LSU this year after injuring his knee shortly before the season started – are carrying on a proud tradition, as the team has produced a number of stellar scholars in recent years. Rodney Reed, 1993 graduate, was a two-time First-Team Academic All-American, four-time SEC Academic Honor Roll member and a National Scholar-Athlete award winner; and 2005 graduate Rudy Niswanger won the Draddy Trophy (the "Academic Heisman"), while also being named SEC Scholar-Athlete of the Year, National Football Foundation National Scholar-Athlete, two-time First-Team Academic All-American, three-time SEC Academic Honor Roll member, and summa cum laude graduate and University Medalist with a 4.0 GPA in pre-medicine.

Niswanger graduated prior to the start of his senior season and put medical school on hold for a year so he could finish his LSU career. Six years later, medical school is still on hold as Niswanger is still in the NFL, most recently with the Detroit Lions.
Niswanger and Reed left quite a legacy for todays Tigers to follow, though it's a legacy Reid has been preparing himself to live up to for many years.
"My dad taught me when I was young that school came first, and if I didn't do well in school then I didn't get to play sports," said the sophomore defensive back. "I used that and carried that over into football. When they gave me the playbook, I studied that just like I studied in school, and last year it worked to my benefit."
The link between athletic success and academic success may be a tenuous one as far as some armchair quarterbacks are concerned, but it's very real in the eyes of LSU's superb student-athletes
"Being competitive and being on a team helps me in classes," said junior volleyball outside hitter Jones. "On Moodle, we're ranked where we are in the class, and I'm always shooting to be first or top 5. I'm really competitive in that respect."
In addition to landing the budding engineer on the SEC Academic Honor Roll, Jones' competitive streak is paying dividends for LSU on the volleyball court too. Her .308 hitting percentage and 186 kills lead all regular starters for the SEC West-leading Tigers, and her kills per set and points per set are both among the top 10 in the conference.
LSU's commitment to supporting brainiacs from all walks of life – regardless of whether they're athletically gifted or not – means students have at their disposal all manner of study aids. Perhaps the most prominent of these is the Center for Academic Success, a national award-winning center dedicated to helping LSU students improve their grades and maximize their learning potential.
Available for use by all LSU students, the Center for Academic Success helps students fine-tune their critical thinking skills and develop better learning strategies, and offers free tutoring and study sessions.
But the needs of your typical student-athlete are a little more unique than those of other students – a uniqueness that extends far beyond the list of cold and flu remedies student-athletes aren't allowed to take when they're feeling under the weather. During their seasons, student-athletes can miss anywhere from a few hours of class on a Friday afternoon (for football players) to half a week (for golfers). When they're not on the road competing, they're trying to juggle their class schedules with practice schedules, while still finding time for homework.
"My Mondays and Tuesdays are the busiest because that's when I have labs," said Chapman, who is taking 17 hours of upper level biology classes during her senior season with the No. 14-ranked soccer team so she can earn her biology degree in December. "On Wednesdays, I have practice, shower after practice, go straight from the soccer complex to class, have two hours of class, go home, eat lunch and come back to school for another one-and-a-half-hour class."
Chapman's academic prowess is hardly unique on the LSU soccer team, as a total of nine members of the 2010 squad were named to the SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll, including seven starters. Including Jones, five members of the volleyball team made the same honor roll, four of whom were regular starters.
"I wake up, go to class, come home for a little bit and have something to eat, go to volleyball practice, go straight from volleyball to weights, then after that I'll have some sort of club meeting afterwards, and then usually get home around eight or nine and go straight to bed because I'm so tired," said Jones, who is an industrial engineering student in a department that's not only ranked the best in Louisiana by the U.S. News and World Report, but is also ranked ahead of SEC rivals Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi State.
All of that work must mean road trips to away games are a time to relax and focus on nothing more than LSU's next opponent, right?
"Our Saturdays are nice, they give us a chance to relax," said Howard, who plans on owning his own alternative energy company after earning his MBA. "We can hang around our rooms and settle down and not have a full day of football. There's usually a couple of hours where I can squeeze some homework in and catch up on a couple of things."
"If I have a really big test I'll bring my stuff on the road," said Reid. "If it's something I think I can handle then I'll study before the game and try to get it finished so I don't have to worry about it."
With such unique time constraints placed upon them, LSU's student-athletes need a little extra help to manage their schedules and stay on course to graduate.
Enter the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes, or CCACSA.
"The Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is our student-athletes' home away from home, therefore, we advocate, support, and encourage success in all aspects of their lives," said CCACSA executive director Kenneth Miles. "We do not do this alone. We have a tremendous amount of support from campus resources, and together we develop retention strategies to improve their social integration into campus life and Baton Rouge, as well as their academic success."
"We are the student-athletes' primary advisor, but we work very well with people on campus to make sure that we're in line with what they're doing," said Derek Cowherd, director of academic affairs at the CCACSA. "We make sure that we're in line with what the advisors on campus are saying because they're the ones who certify the degrees. But we know more than them what time constraints the students have with practice and what the coaches need, and that's too much to put on anybody on campus."
The list of things the CCACSA handles is impressive. Cowherd and the other advisors schedule tutoring and study hall hours, monitor eligibility, and handle class scheduling to ensure students stay on track to graduate – and to make sure they don't fill their schedules with the underwater basket weaving classes some critics accuse student-athletes of taking.
"It's the first thing for almost every coach to show when an athlete is here on a recruiting visit, and they're upset if they don't get to show it first," said Cowherd. "[Head football coach Les] Miles' spiel is not, 'Hey how are you doing? I saw your game.' It's always, 'Hey, how about that academic center?' It's the first thing he says to every recruit, and its not just lip service. He's serious, and he talks about that with the family and the kid for a long time. He preaches academics, graduation and national championships."
"The consensus among the parents after we give the tour is it's up to the kid, because anything they could need to help them navigate their four years at LSU is here," said Walt Holliday, assistant director of the CCACSA. "They have all the resources available to them, and the onus is on them."
The importance of a building like the academic center for LSU's student-athletes is not something that is lost on the budding sports stars either.
"It caught my attention that LSU had a whole facility for academics," said Reid. "That's something in my family that's really important."
Family is definitely important to Reid, whose father, Eric Reid Sr., was a three-time All-American and 1987 NCAA champion as a hurdler at LSU. The younger Reid chose to major in business so he could manage his money in the NFL, and then use it to help his family.
"My goal and dream ever since I was in high school was to go to the NFL, and if I was fortunate enough to get there to then open my own business," he said. "It would be a family business. That's my whole plan: Make it to the league and open doors for business."
While the earning potential in the Women's Professional Soccer league compared to the NFL may not be in the same stratosphere, soccer midfielder Chapman – who was honored as a CollegeSoccer360.com Primetime Performer of the Week this week after helping limit the potent No. 10 Tennessee and Georgia offenses to one goal combined – nevertheless plans on joining the likes of Marta, Abby Wambach and Alex Morgan in the professional ranks, saying, "I want to try and go pro next year. I'm going to start with that and see where I go from there."
But before she can start earning money trying to stymie the world's top offenses, she has to overcome the 17 hours of biology classes standing between her and her degree. Lucky for her, and lucky for LSU, she enjoys studying biology as much as she enjoys studying her opponents' attacking tendencies.
"I really liked my genetics class here," she said. "There's math in it, and I'm pretty strong mathematically, and it's interesting to see how people get the traits that they do. I like genetics."
Whether or not people are genetically predisposed to liking the colors purple and gold isn't scientifically proven, but it's a fact that LSU is home to many – and wants to attract more – academic all-stars.
LSU's alumni have invented spacecraft, governed nations, run Fortune 500 companies, won Oscars and Emmys, written bestsellers and recorded platinum-selling albums, led soldiers into battle and saved lives.
LSU is in the top tier of U.S. News and World Report's "America's Best Colleges" list for the fourth year in a row, and the incoming freshman classes are not only growing in size, they're also bringing higher test scores than ever with them.
Chapman, Howard, Jones and Reid aren't that different when compared to LSU's other outstanding current and future leaders of industry. They study just as hard as the students in the Robert Reich School of Landscape Architecture who recently won five major national awards. They do their homework just as diligently as any of LSU's 14 Rhodes Scholars.
The only difference is while LSU fans fill the stands each weekend to cheer for the Tigers, those four – and their fellow honor roll teammates – are getting ready to show that just because they're nerds doesn't mean they're not also jocks.

press release
Bujumbura — Reinforces outstanding progress in reducing toll of measles and other vaccine-preventable diseases
Burundi is strengthening its efforts to fight preventable diseases by introducing the second dose of measles vaccine into its national routine immunisation programme.
The introduction will reinforce Burundi's outstanding progress in recent years in reducing the deadly toll of measles. Globally, measles claims the lives of more than 139,000 children every year.
Reduction in child morbidity and mortality
Thanks to the ongoing commitment of the Government of Burundi and of its partners, including GAVI Alliance, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the Measles and Rubella Initiative (MRI) and the World Health Organization (WHO), Burundi has achieved a 94 percent national immunisation coverage rate for measles. This has led to a significant reduction in child morbidity and mortality caused by this disease.
However, Burundi continues to experience measles outbreaks, such as outbreaks between 2010 and 2012 in the provinces of Bujumbura Mairie, Bujumbura Rural, Cibitole, Bubanza, Kirundo and Muyinga. These outbreaks affect newborn babies, 11-month-old children and older children too.
Right for all children
Johannes Wedenig, UNICEF Representative in Burundi, said: "Immunisation continues to be one of the most effective and least costly health interventions in the world to lower child morbidity and mortality. This is a right that must be guaranteed for all children, including the most vulnerable and marginalised. The Government of Burundi's decision to introduce the second dose of the measles vaccine is contributing to guarantee this right and to improve the health of children in Burundi."
As part of regular immunisation activities, the introduction of measles second dose vaccine will bolster the protection of children against a highly contagious disease that weakens the immune system and paves the way for other infections such as pneumonia and diarrhoea - two of the leading causes of mortality in children under five in Burundi - with potentially severe and irreversible complications, especially in a context of malnutrition. In Burundi, 58 percent of children suffer from chronic malnutrition.
Immunisation continues to be one of the most effective and least costly health interventions in the world to lower child morbidity and mortality
Progress in immunisation
Progress in global immunisation over the last few years, made possible through partnerships like GAVI, has brought about major advances in fighting child mortality. From 2000 to 2012, vaccination against measles (first and second doses) has lowered mortality by 98 percent.
Since 2002, GAVI funding allocated for immunisation in Burundi amounts to US$ 70 million; this will climb to nearly US$ 100 million by 2016.
Mother-child health week
The introduction ceremony for the second dose of the measles vaccine in Burundi was scheduled at the same time as the mother-child health week; this runs from 15 to 18 January and is organised by the Burundian Ministry of Public Health and Fight Against AIDS with support from its partners.
During this week, health activities will be held throughout the country for children and pregnant women. Vitamin A will be distributed to more than 1.4 million children aged six to 59 months old; more than 3.7 million children aged one to 14 year, as well as almost 300,000 pregnant women, will be dewormed. Almost 300,000 pregnant women will receive iron and folic acid supplementation.
GAVI is funded by the following governments, as well as private, corporate and foundation donors: Absolute Return for Kids (ARK), Anglo American plc, Australia, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Brazil, Canada, The Children's Investment Fund Foundation (UK), Comic Relief, Denmark, European Commission (EC), France, Germany, His Highness Sheikh Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Ireland, Italy, JP Morgan, Japan, 'la Caixa' Foundation, LDS Charities, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Other private donors, Republic of Korea, Russian Federation, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States of America.

Castle Season 5 Gets Additional Episode!
That's right, Castle fans! If you wanted more opportunities for Castle and Beckett to get it on, this may be your chance. TVLine is reporting that ABC has extended the show by adding one more episode to the Season 5 roster.
Over the years, Castle's episode orders have been growing and growing. The show's mid-season debut only had 10 episodes, which did fairly well. But then the second season, which was initially set for 13 episodes, got bumped up to 22, then 24. That's a huge order!
Ever since that, Castle's been rocking out with at least 23 episodes, with this latest season now reaching a total of 24. Looks like we'll have one more night to see if Caskett will make some sweet passionate love. Yowza!
Are you excited that the season's been extended? Tell us below!

Is high contrast good?
I have some innate feeling that all my pieces must have a really dark color and a really light color in them, it has to have a near black and a near white, is that a bad thing? Can a piece still work if closer to grey? Or should you try to stay towards either the darks or the lights?-Insert intelligent comment here-

It seems like it depends on the effect youre trying to achieve but Im exactly the same way. I think it adds depth to your image and your image has more of an impact.

This is exactly what I do, but it didn`t quite hit me until I just read this thread. In my portrait parts of the face which are brightly lit are usually completely white, while I know now that`s quite impossible (unless your subject is an albino, and even in that case I`m not quite sure) I still do it!
For some reason it just makes it look better. This is probably a matter of personal taste though.
Veni, vidi, vici.

Short answer:
It depends.
Longer answer:
It depends on
(a) The local values of the objects in the picture,
(b) The lighting and atmospheric conditions,
(c) How you choose to modify these for pictorial effect.
So sometimes a high contrast solution will be exactly right for a certain picture, sometimes it will be totally wrong. Look at paintings, photos, and especially movies and see how different value structures are used to tell the story.
March 9th, 2004 #5
let me break it down like my art teachers and professionals ive met have told me:
the lightest light in the drawing is white.
The darkest dark is black.
The midtones realte to these extremes.
I have great faith in fools. My friends call it self confidence.
March 10th, 2004 #6
It all comes down to what you wish to achieve. For me, high contrast goes in the same category with too many highlights -- just enough can make a piece come to life, but too much contrast or highlights makes my work look gaudy and mechanical.
Also, in painting skin, I rarely see a value that is pure white. Even highlights are not just white. Cerulean blue comes in handy here. (There are exceptions of course, like style -- like using the white of the paper in watercolor or ink)
It is important to remember that everything is relative; your values should be adjusted so that they are in relationship with each other.

Inspiration of the Day: Prismatic Glass Lamps
For a romantically draped wedding tent Mindy Weiss hung dozens of stunning prismatic glass lamps. Each lamp was slightly different than the next, which added serious character and visual interest to the ceiling. For another unexpected twist, thick rope was a deliberate solution to otherwise unsightly lamp cords. The juxtaposition of these modern lights mixed with lush florals and long farm tables with vintage mismatched chairs made it all the more dramatic and beautiful.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Maisie McCabe, mediaweek.co.uk, Tuesday, 03 July 2012 11:51AM
A new digital radio transmitter will be turned on tomorrow (4 July). Around 250,000 more people in Manchester will be able to listen to DAB radio, which will reach 90% of households in the area.
To highlight the expansion, Key 103's digital frequency will be rebranded to Key 103D and will air 20-minutes of exclusive digital-only content every hour, including live tracks from Ed Sheeran and Jessie J.
Manchester Digital Day will be promoted on-air throughout this week and will offer listeners the chance to win Roberts Elise digital radios or to have their workplace fitted out with digital radios.
The campaign will extend online with an online takeover of www.key103.co.uk tomorrow and social media activity on Facebook at Facebook.com/key 103 and through the Twitter hashtag #key103d.
Once the new transmitters have been turned on an additional 120km of Manchester roads will be able to receive Manchester's 42 digital radio services for the first time.
Ford Ennals, chief executive of Digital Radio UK, the body charged with reading the industry for digital radio, said: "The Manchester signal boost is great news as it brings the full line-up of digital radio stations to 250,000 more people.
"The digital boost means that now nearly 90% of households in Manchester can receive 42 digital radio stations including Key 103, Magic 1152 and Heat Radio.
"There has never been a better time to listen to digital radio in Manchester."
Yesterday the Department for Culture, Media and Sport confirmed the radio industry has signed a memorandum of understanding agreeing in principle to commit £21m to roll out local DAB.

Brad Maddox will be #1...he will get thrown out easily by Ryback though
In 1995, Shawn Michaels entered the Royal Rumble as the #1 entry and defeated 29 other superstars.
9 years later in 2004, Chris Benoit entered the Royal Rumble as the #1 entry and defeated 29 other superstars.
9 years later it's 2013, and I believe it's a strong possibility that the #1 entry in this years Royal Rumble may win and defeat 29 other superstars.
Now, it might be Dolph Ziggler who draws that number, which makes it less possible (because he already has the briefcase). But that could be a nice twist of events Ziggler wins Rumble, loses title match at Mania, then attacks his opponent and cashes in the briefcase to win the match. Or lose one title match and win another. As a biased Ziggler fan, I'd love to see it. But I don't think it'd happen.
So IF Ziggler chooses #2, then if someone else chooses number #1, the odds would be better for their favor and less complicated in turn of events come Mania.
What do you think in your numbers game concerning Royal Rumble victories?

He's also my prediction to win it, him or Ryback. Something says to me Cena is too obvious, and after the last two Rumbles have been VERY predictable this one might be surprising.
"Every man's heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breath their final breath. And if what that man did in his life, makes the blood pulse through the body of others, and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit, will be immortalized by the storytellers, by the loyalty, by the memory, of those who honor him and make whatever the man did live forever."
Ziggler will be #1 & I think #2 will be Daniel Bryan.
First Ever PW Heavyweight Champion!
Ziggler will be #1 and I think it would be neat if Cena is #2.
Kane and Daniel Bryan.
I betcha.
Well..i really believe since WWE is still trying to distance themselves from Benoit. So whoever gets #1 will win the rumble. I can see it happening, as they don't want anything to do with Benoit.
I'll vote for the Miz, mostly because they are trying to push him again and if memory serves correct he drew #1 last year and almost went the distance. I could see them playing up the "can he win it this year" gimmick and mentioning that he was first in last year every 5 or 10 minutes.
Thanks JV for the artwork!!
Dolph Ziggler and Daniel Bryan will be 1 and 2.
Fun fact: They'll both last past #20 entrant. Dolph will be in the Final Four. Daniel will probably go out around the 40-45 minute mark.

Dolph Ziggler is going to pick number 1 and then go all the way to the end? man, I should cheer that guy, sounds like he is honorable, brave and badass!
Oh, right...
That's all, folks.
1.) Ziggler
2.) Cena
They battle until just before #3 comes out and AJ/Langston help eliminate Cena WAYYYYYY before anyone expects!

When you expose the silicon die of a transistor to a light source a charge is produced. CircuitsDIY opened up a 2N3055 transistor and did some experimenting. With the help of a magnifying glass he was able to built up a charge of 0.65V and produce 42.2mA of current. [via]
Most photovoltaic cells are made of silicon chip above which there resides a very thin layer of noble metal through which around 1% of photon particles enter the material and activates electron flow. Here I'm showing how to make one simple solar panel using transistor.
Testing the photovoltaic effect with a transistor – [Link]
Here is a simple and economical 10A variable power supply with 1.2-30V. LM317 have been used to drive 3 NPN TIP41C transistors (or three 2N3055). Nothing to say about the project, it is really simple. The main supply must be connected to a rectified source (transformer + 20-30A bridge rectifier). For Q1,2 and 3 can be used any power TO220 transistor (TIP132C,TIP41C etc) or three external 2N3055 transistors. [via]
10A 1-30V Variable Power Supply with LM317 – [Link]
This project is a 12V 2A AC to DC power supply using LM7912 and transistor 2N3055.
12V 2A Linear Power Supply – [Link]
Simple and low cost. The optimal supply voltage is around 50V, but this amp work from 30 to 60V. The maximal input voltage is around 0.8 – 1V. As you can see, in this design the components have a big tolerance, so you can build it almost of the components, which you find at home. The and transistors can be any NPN type power transistor, but do not use Darlington types… The output power is around 60W.

90 Years, Part III: The Fashion and The Party at La Fonda
This is Part III and the final installment of a three-part history post from our Chef Concierge, Steve Wimmer on the occasion of La Fonda's 90th birthday. You can read the first two installments here and here.
Not a great deal is known about this party as at that time the New Mexican did not publish on Sundays or Holidays. So the first description of any goings on at La Fonda was the exuberant articles about the inaugural ball for the New Governor held on New Years Eve. The whole town of who's -who's turned out for this party. And darn, we must have been fabulous caterers going from opening on December 30, 1922 to a huge formal party two days later for over 1000 people!
Many people that night had dinner in the Grill which was on the San Francisco Street corner of the hotel on the spot now occupied by the Indian Shop and Mama's Minerals. The only problem with the restaurant and its large plate glass windows was that it encouraged curious locals to come stare at diners while they ate—sort of an early form of Santa Fe Television.
Our own beloved Gerald Cassidy and his wife Ina were the chairs of the decorating committee. They used a new technique in making sunbursts of material called tie-dyeing. Could it be that Santa Fe was the epicenter of the tie-dying in America for the last 90 years???
The Le Bon Ton Orchestra came from Albuquerque to provide the dance music that night. The dance began at 10 PM and went on till morning. Songs you could have danced to would have been Toot Toot Toosie, April Showers, Three o'clock in the Morning, Sheik of Araby, Way down yonder in New Orleans, and I am just wild about Harry.
No doubt the ladies had little flasks in their garter belts because we were at the height of Prohibition. Budweiser could be served and there were six stills within a two block radius of the Plaza. Our own Will Schuster was said to be a purveyor of some good stuff.
The good times ended in 1924 when the hotel which had originally cost $250,000 went bankrupt by February of 1924 and closed – all for the paltry sum of $50.000. It sat empty for two years until the Santa Fe Railroad bought the property and leased it to the Fred Harvey Corporation. The sale price was $165,000. Then came a golden era for La Fonda, as one of the Flagship Hotels in the Fred Harvey collection of hotels known for their legendary hospitality—the new and improved look brought to us by John Gaw Meem and Mary Jane Colter.

(Reuters) / 5 August 2012
President Bashar Al Assads forces used artillery, planes and a helicopter gunship to pound rebel positions in Syrias biggest city on Saturday, witnesses said, in a battle that could determine the outcome of the 17-month uprising.
After UN Security Council paralysis on Syria forced peace envoy Kofi Annan to resign this week, and with his ceasefire plan a distant memory, rebels were battered by the onslaught they had expected in Aleppo and in the capital Damascus.
"There is one helicopter and we're hearing two explosions every minute," said a Reuters witness in Aleppo, Syria's commercial hub.
Syrian forces struck at Aleppo's Salaheddine district, a gateway into the city of 2.5 million people that has become the frontline of an increasingly sectarian conflict that has killed some 18,000 people and could spill into neighbouring countries.
A local rebel commander said his fighters were preparing for a "strong offensive" by government forces on the city.
In Damascus, jets bombarded the capital as troops continued an offensive they began on Friday to storm the last rebel bastion there, a resident said.
Both cities - vital prizes in the battle for Syria - had been relatively free from violence during the 17-month uprising but fighting flared in Damascus after a July 18 bombing which killed four of Assad's inner circle and also erupted in Aleppo.
"We saw two fighter bombers that are each capable of carrying one bomb fly over the area of Salaheddine and then we heard two explosions," said a witness.
Early on Saturday, a rebel commander in Aleppo said he expected a Syrian army attack on rebels "within days", echoing the head of the UN peacekeeping department, who said there had been a "considerable build-up of military means".
"We know they are planning to attack the city using tanks and aircraft, shooting at us for three to four days and they plan to take the city," Colonel Abdel-Jabbar al-Oqaidi said.
Bullets zipped past residential buildings, as rebels took cover behind concrete blocks and sandbag walls and fired in the direction of Assad's forces. Two fighter jets opened fire with cannon and smoke billowed from the district.
One fighter fell to the ground after a bullet hit his chest. Fellow rebels dragged him into a car, leaving a trail of blood on the ground, to take him to a field hospital.
TV offensive repelled
Rebels tried to extend their area of control in Aleppo from Salaheddine to the area around the television and radio station, but were pushed back by Assad's troops, an activist said.
"The Syrian army sent snipers and surrounded the TV station and as soon as morning came, the army started shooting. One of our fighters was martyred and four were wounded," said a 19-year-old fighter, who gave his name as Mu'awiya Al Halabi.
Syrian television said a large number of "terrorists" were killed and wounded after they tried to storm the broadcaster.
After Annan's resignation, the UN General Assembly voted on Friday to condemn the Syrian government and criticise the UN Security Council's failure to agree tougher action, in a resolution that Western diplomats said highlighted the isolation of Assad supporters Russia and China.
In Damascus, a resident in the Adawi neighbourhood just north of the central Old City reported that jets had pounded an area of the capital on Saturday. "The bombardment has been continuous since 7 a.m. (0400 GMT) in Tadamun district. It hasn't stopped for a moment," said the resident.
Syrian television said on Saturday an armed terrorist group had committed a massacre in the Damascus suburb of Yalda. The television station said 20 people had been killed. It was not immediately possible to verify the incident as Syria restricts foreign media access.
