Inspiring Hope. Caring for Creation.
On March 23rd and 24th, 13 Winnipeg residents participated in 'The Plot Thickens': a two day community gardening workshop held Crossroads Mennonite Brethren Church. Jen Kornelsen (A Rocha Community Organizer), Queenie Bei (A Rocha Community Garden Network Coordinator), and Kristine Zylstra-Moore (Fort Whyte Farms Program Coordinator) fearlessly led the group through a series of stimulating sessions.
From the basics of how to start a garden to establishing a community gardening mission, the workshop incorporated practical gardening tools with community gardening organization, providing relevant information for every level of gardener. The participants asked many questions and actively engaged in the topics being presented, allowing for insightful discussion and valuable networking. The workshop left each participant equipped with a community gardening manual to help guide them through their various gardening endeavours; a wealth of knowledge to tap into and to share with others; and a new network of fellow gardeners to broaden their community.
With spring in the air, 'The Plot Thickens' generated excitement for the return to the garden and served as a reminder that gardening harvests not just produce, but also community.

Follow @ BlakeeBass
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Blackhawks and goalie Corey Crawford have agreed to a six-year contract extension.
Crawford started every playoff game for Chicago last season, helping the Blackhawks win their second Stanley Cup title in three years. He went 16-7 with an NHL-best 1.84 goals-against average in the postseason.
The Blackhawks announced the deal on Monday. The contract runs through the 2019-20 season.
The 28-year-old Crawford was selected by Chicago in the second round of the 2003 draft. Crawford, who made his NHL debut in January 2006, is 83-43 with eight shutouts, a 2.40 goals-against average and a .913 save percentage in 152 career games with the Blackhawks.

Department Computer Science and Information Engineering Year 1998 Semester 2 Degree Master Type of Document Master's Thesis Language zh-TW.Big5 Chinese Title Two-Layer Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation for Virtual Private Networks Date of Defense Page Count 89 Keyword bandwidth allocation call layer temporary state virtual private network VPN layer Abstract The concept of virtual private networks (VPN) is to separate logically several private networks from the public networks by using the technology of tunneling. Besides, security and quality of services (QoS) are supported for VPNs. The bandwidth allocated to VPN tunnels may be wasted for low utilization, and the offered number of users for the system is thus decreased. On the contrary, if the bandwidth of VPN tunnels is less-allocated to increase the utilization, but, the blocking probability will be increased. Therefore, it is important to design a dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme for virtual private networks over public networks. A two-layer dynamic bandwidth allocation scheme is proposed to assign bandwidth for VPNs, where the control architecture is divided in VPN layer and call layer. While a new VPN is created VPN layer control mechanism allocates the predefined low bound bandwidth to the VPN. The bandwidth assigned may be increased only if the assigned bandwidth is not enough. The bandwidth allocation in the call layer is to manage bandwidth already assigned for a VPN. Although the residual bandwidth of the link is less than the low bound, a tunnel with the residual bandwidth is still to be created temporarily, and the tunnel is called to be staying in temporary state. The bandwidth of the tunnel will be increased to the low bound as long as there is released bandwidth. The network will offer more VPNs by introducing the concept of temporary state, and the link utilization is thus improved. Simulation results show blocking probability can be decreased by 11.92% ~41.87%.
For the call layer bandwidth allocation, there are three schemes for bandwidth increase of tunnels: (1) increase the bandwidth by a call, (2) increase the bandwidth by a step (several calls), and (3) increase the bandwidth by a ratio. There are also three schemes for bandwidth decrease of tunnels: (1) release the bandwidth immediately as long as a call departs, (2) release the bandwidth when the residual bandwidth of the tunnel is larger than a step, and (3) release the bandwidth when the residual bandwidth of the tunnel is larger than a ratio of the current allocated bandwidth of the VPN. It is found that the policy using the third bandwidth increase and the third bandwidth decrease schemes is capable of decreasing the call blocking probability by 25.74% VPN and NPL by 95.51%

Posted by NYCGrubber on Feb 23, 2012 in gluten free grubbing | 0 comments
While scouring the internet for a casual spot to have dinner in the EVil the other night, my friend suggested Cafe Orlin, mentioning she's been there often and it has great food.
Never being one to pass up great food, or Israeli food, or a new spot, I decided to give it a go.
Minus the yellow lit "Cafe" sign outside the restaurant, you could easily walk past this spot without even recognizing it.
Per the usual, I was stahvinggg, so we immediately ordered the hummus (side of cucumbers for the GF girl).
I was happily surprised to see the cukes were sliced in chip like fashion, perfect for dipping & wrapping! The added touch of tomatoes and onions made this hummus fab. So fab, we ordered a second one.
For dinner, I got:
Baby Red & Golden Beet Salad w/ pears, goat cheese and pistachios over mesclun greens in sesame dressing (gluten-free): This was a daily special. I love me some beets (acquired taste but now I cannot get enough) + goat cheese? Yes. I substituted for shallot vinaigrette for fear of gluten. Not huge – perfect sized and delish.
My friends both ordered:
Grilled Shrimp Salad with mixed greens, red pepper, onion & sesame vinaigrette (gluten-free): Rave reviews from the peanut gallery.
For dessert we shared:

Intercellular communication via GAP Junctions plays an important role in tissue homeostasis, apoptosis, carcinogenesis, cell proliferation and differentiation. Hepatocyte connexins (Cx) 26 and 32 levels are decreased during the de-differentiation process of primary hepatocytes in culture, a situation that is also characterized by a decrease in S-Adenosylmethionine (SAMe) levels. In this current study, we show that SAMe supplementation in cultured hepatocytes every 12 h, leads to an up-regulation of Cx26 and 32 mRNA and protein levels and blocks culture-induced Cx43 expression, although it failed to increase Cx26 and 32 membrane localization and GAP junction intracellular communication. SAMe reduced nuclear catenin accumulation, which is known to stimulate the TCF/LEF-dependent gene transcription of Cx43. Moreover SAMe-induced reduction in Cx43 and beta-catenin was prevented by the proteasome inhibitor MG132, and was not mediated by GSK3 activity. SAMe, and its metabolite 5'-methylthioadenosine (MTA) increased Cx26 mRNA in a process partially mediated by Adenosine A(2A) receptors but independent of PKA. Finally livers from MAT1A knockout mice, characterized by low hepatic SAMe levels, express higher Cx43 and lower Cx26 and 32 protein levels than control mice. These results suggest that SAMe maintains a characteristic expression pattern of the different Cxs in hepatocytes by differentially regulating their levels. (C) 2010 Elsevier GmbH.

Guatemala to Alaska and Back
Two more days and the long expected day arrives : I will be leaving from Guatemala with the hope to make it to Alaska .
After years of meeting so many of you guys on your way down south or up north , now finally it's my turn .
My wife will meet me next month in northern Mexico and from there on we will be two up on our R1200 GsAdv.
We have no fixed route and a very almost no time limits ; any advise will be greatly appreciated .
Looking forward to meet some of you guys on the road !
Good luck, sounds like a great trip. I work with several Guatemalans and my dream trip would be Oklahoma, home, to Guatemala.
Por la costa del pacifico !!!!!
Saludos Julio, si pasas por esta ruta estaremos pendientes de lo que se ofrezca !!!! buen viaje !!!!
Sounds like a fantastic trip! Ride safe and look forward to some pics.
Thx guys !
Gracias Emiliano, si paso por allí te aviso
He estado en tu país tan lindo el diciembre, y me gustó muchísimas. Necesito más tiempo allí. Estare contigo con advrider. ¡Buen viaje y mucho suerte con tu viaje, amigo! Cuidate.
Sent from my BlackBerry 9700 using Tapatalk
Take highway 1 once you get to california. Do not miss big sur
Enjoy your ride Julio !!!!!!!!!
Vaya con Dios amigo !!
Buen viaje Julio!
Gracias amigos and greetings from www.unicornioazul.com/
Con mucho cuidado Julio. Ojala pasaran por el estado de GA, aqui hay casa para los chapines :D
I don't have much of a timetable, I know that I should do Canada Alaska between late June and the end of August .
The plan is entering Canada in Alberta .
In the US I'll try to avoid big cities and I'm looking forward to National Parks etc.
Hope this makes it easier to get suggestions
With the coming into Alberta. I would suggest that you come up through Kalispell Montana, across the Road to the Sun Pass and take the Chief Mountain Border Crossing into Canada. Then up through PIncher Creek, taking the Cowboy Trail up the east side of the Rockies and it comes out west of Calgary on # 1 Hwy. Then west to Banff & up through the Columbia Icefield to Jasper. If you look at a map it will give you an idea of what I'm talking about. A very scenic route and keeps you off the 4 lanes.
The Road to the Sun is only open 2 or 3 months of the year and in 2011 it didn't open until July 17. I know because my wife and I made a trip into Montana & Idaho from Lethbridge Alberta, where we live. There is an alternate route that goes around this pass. If you are in this part of the world the pass is definitely worth riding once.
I'm following your trip so if I can help let me know.

Exclusive: Multi-million pound investment to overhaul Tonbridge town centre revealed
Posted: February 15, 2013|
A MULTI-MILLION pound project to regenerate Tonbridge town centre, including building a cinema and new leisure centre, has been announced.
Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council last night voted to proceed with a legal agreement with Sainsbury's to bring forward plans to revitalise the town centre.
The project, which is still subject to planning permission, will see Sainsbury's expanding its supermarket in Angel Lane, building five new non-food retail units and a multi-screen cinema, as well as creating hundreds of jobs.
The Angel Centre, which has been in the town since the early 1980s, will also be closed and a new community and leisure centre will be built on the Bradford Street car park, on the other side of the High Street.
Council leader Nicolas Heslop said he was "delighted" to be securing the deal with Sainsbury's and said regeneration of Tonbridge has been an "absolute priority" for the council.
He added: "It should underpin the town's prosperity for years to come, give shoppers more choice, give retailers more customers and bring us the facilities to compete with other towns.
"We have everyone in mind and are committed to provide a mix of business, leisure and community opportunities right in the heart of the town.
"Best of all, this proposal brings a multi million pound investment to Tonbridge without any cost to the council tax payer."
Double Olympic gold medallist and Hildenborough resident Dame Kelly Holmes, who through the Courier called for more modern leisure facilities, has also given the project her backing.
She said: "It is fantastic news that there is going to be a huge investment into the town.
"I think it is completely right to provide new and modern community and leisure facilities that fit better with local needs and will revitalise Tonbridge completely now and in the future. I am really excited to see the developments move forward."
The project is set to be completed by 2016.
For more on this story, including local reaction, see next week's Kent and Sussex Courier.

12. Thierry Henry
For a period of between four and five years, Thierry Henry was unstoppable.
The mercurial French forward scored more than 30 goals for Arsenal in each season between 2001 and 2006 - and was simply too good for the Premier League at times.
With extraordinary pace, a wide range of skills and a serious will to win, Henry was a majestic player at his peak.

Geomorphic controls on salmon nesting patterns described by a new, narrow-beam terrestrial-aquatic lidar
McKean, Jim A.; Isaak, Dan J.; Wright, Charles W. 2008. Geomorphic controls on salmon nesting patterns described by a new, narrow-beam terrestrial-aquatic lidar. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment. 6(3): 125-130.
Riverine aquatic biodiversity is rapidly being lost worldwide, but preservation efforts are hampered, in part because studies of these dynamic environments are limited by cost and logistics to small local surveys. Full understanding of stream ecosystems requires precise, high-resolution mapping of entire stream networks and adjacent landforms. We use a narrow-beam, water-penetrating, green lidar system to continuously map 10 km of a mountain stream channel, including its floodplain topography, and wavelet analyses to investigate spatial patterns of channel morphology and salmon spawning. Results suggest the broadest fluvial domains are a legacy of approximately 15 000 years of post-glacial valley evolution and that local pool-riffle channel topography is controlled by contemporary hydraulics operating on this broad template. Salmon spawning patterns closely reflect these hierarchical physical domains, demonstrating how geomorphic history can influence modern distributions of aquatic habitat and organisms. The new terrestrial-aquatic lidar could catalyze rapid advances in understanding, managing, and monitoring of valuable aquatic ecosystems through unprecedented mapping and attendant analyses.

Signal Corruption - Setup Issue
2 Attachment(s)
I am trying to use DVI input to a projector from my linux box but the output is very noisy. The same projector can be used from a windows box.
Linux box base intall RH7.2
Kernel upgraded to 2.4.20
Nvidia GeForce FX 5700
Driver 1.0-6111
XFree 4.2 (with RH install)
Attached are my logs and Config files. X run with logverbose 5.
I see a noisy line on the left hand side, top to bottom. The monitor does not provide frequency information so I added that myself (random values). Without that could not have a signal on the projector.
Re: DVI output to the projector has noise
Adding to the information in the first post.
System still running I plugged out the DVI from the projector to a DELL-FP. I could still see the noisy line. Rebooted; this time with the DELL-FP on the end of the DVI cable.All works well.
Hence the setup with the projector itself is wrong. The signal shows noise on a working FlatPanel as well.
===== Additions ====
Did more tests. This time plugged out the DVI from a working DELL-FP and plugged in to the projector and the output is good.
So the problem is with the initial setup between the projector and card. I tried to use Option "IgnoreEDID" "True". That does not help. What else can I do.

GOVERNMENT has released K47 billion towards the payment of a debt owed to Nyiombo Investments Limited and Omnia Small-Scale Limited.
The debt was in respect of the supply of basal and top dressing fertiliser to Government which was distributed to farmers around the country.
Agriculture and Livestock Minister Emmanuel Chenda said in an interview yesterday that the payment was part of the K169 billion owed to the two companies, which the Government inherited from the MMD administartion last year.
He said the Government was expected to liquidate the remaining K122 billion to the two institutions this week.
Mr Chenda dispelled reports that the two companies had stopped distributing fertiliser to farmers under the Government-supported Farmer Input Support Programme (FISP) for the 2012/2013 farming season due to the outstanding debt.
"We agreed at a meeting held on Tuesday that the two organisations should continue distributing fertiliser according to the contract they have signed with the Government.
"In the meantime we have paid them a part payment to ensure that their operations don't come to a halt," he said.
Government had in August this year awarded contracts to Omnia Small-Scale Limited and Nyiombo Investments to supply 153,634 tonnes of fertiliser for the 2012/2013 farming season.
Nitrogen Chemicals of Zambia would supply 30,000 tonnes to make a total of 183,634 tonnes of fertiliser.

Lagos, Nigeria — Experts have started work on a new population policy for Nigeria to replace the current one which has been in existence for over a decade.
A draft copy of the policy is being fine-tuned by the experts who met at Ijebu-Ode, near Lagos, this week under the aegis of the Population Working Group.
The group was set up by the Community Development and Population Activities Division of the Federal Ministry of Health.
The thrust of the new policy is to improve standards of living and quality of life, promote maternal, child and reproductive health, achieve a lower rate of population growth and address the question of internal migration and population distribution.
"Because of many years of military rule, protracted political instability and the withdrawal of international development assistance, little progress took place in implementing the 1988 policy", a preamble of the draft reads.
"The commitment of government to improve the quality of life of Nigerian poppulation is witnessed in the series of development and rolling plans it has embarked upon since 1960," it says.
The document notes that the government recognises the intricacy of population-development relationships and the importance of population factors to national development.
"In spite of previous efforts, poverty persists among a large proportion of the Nigerian people. At the national level, the socio-economic life is not inspiring: private sector enterprises are heavily hindered while workers in the public sector are poorly remunerated."
According to the preamble, due to poor implementation of the policy, there is high rate of unemployment and under-employment, while the low per capita income denies many people access to quality health care, especially in rural areas.
Further justifying the revision, the draft notes that in recent times, HIV/AIDS has further constrained efforts to improve the quality of life of the people.
The new policy is expected to include the wide-ranging recommendations made after the International Conference on Population and Development, held in 1994 in Cairo.

MacBook Air's run hot when doing anything graphic intensive.. like 3D Games.. not sure how Sims stacks up, but I doubt it's as intensive as Eve Online, so likely fine.. And if more powerful 3D games are not on the agenda, then they are amazing.
I would strongly suggest the 13". I have the 13" base model from just about 2 years ago, with the RAM upgraded to 8GB.. never had an issue. I used it at collage, running multiple Virtual Machines, all day, without a problem. It's got an amazing battery life, and it light as a feather. The SD card slot on the side is a great place to slide in a card and leave it for extra storage.. Keep a few extras with it for even more storage, without the need for a full External HDD.
I saw and used a bunch of my classmates computer during the course, and end of the day, the Air was best bang for the buck. The price for the hardware isn't as overpriced as some would like to make you believe, and the fact it comes in such a light package makes up for anything else. It weights less than the battery from my PC Laptop.. lol
Thanks for the vauable information. So the 13" seems like the best choice to go if you say so Also I wasn't aware you can upgrade the ram in these machines due to how thin they are.

Flax potential exists in SDBROOKINGS, S.D. — Today, only about 7,000 acres in South Dakota are planted with flax seed. This is a large change from the mid-1980s when South Dakota produced close to 100,000 acres of flax and was one of the largest producers in the U.S., according to Ruth Beck, South Dakota State University Extension agronomy field specialist.

Before we could learnt of the nominees of the 2012 Salax Music Awards, that were supposed to be announced yesterday evening, Alex Muyoboke, a former manager of Tom Close had the previous day released his own list of nominees for every category in the Salax Awards.
Alex Muyoboke
To the surprise of many, Muyoboke omitted two time Salax Awards winner Tom Close in any of the categories up for competition. His list of nominees that was posted on his Facebook wall caused uproar among many a music fans with many asking themselves how he'd leave out Tom Close yet he released a ten track album last year which had hit songs like 'Komeza utsinde'.
Some of the comments on Facebook was from the fan identified as Emery TheBen Platini TMC who asked, "excluding Tom Close from the list doesn't help you. Tom Close, Keep it up."
Patycope T. Patrick, a famous music critic on the social media said, "there's no way I can agree with you. Why do you hate Tom Close that much? Everyone knows Tom Close had a good 2012"
In his response, Muyoboke said, 'I compiled this list based on the achievements of different musicians last year. Those of you who think I was biased can go ahead and make their own list of nominees because these are my own predictions."
Tom Close and Muyoboke fell apart when he fired him as manager. Muyoboke is credited for playing a big role in the music careers of Tom Close, The Ben, Urban Boys and Dream Boys, having promoted them while they were still young. However, Tom Close has always accused him of creating bad blood between him and other musicians. Muyoboke is the current manager of Urban Boys.
By press time, Tom Close wasn't available for comment.
Meanwhile, Afro beat musician, Kitoko Bibarwa, who is touring Europe, has withdrawn from the awards citing incompetence of the organisers and emphasised he'll never be part of them or accept any awards. He was one of the musicians expected to win in most categories.
This year's Salax Awards ceremony is slated for March 9 at the Kigali Serena Hotel. The event is sponsored by the Ministry of Sports and Culture.

This project I did on a summer camp with a group of kids. (8 - 12 year olds) Everybody succeeded (some with some help from me) and we had loads of fun with it.
Step 1: You will need (Parts)
- 1 PVC pipe (We use this in Europe to put electrical wiring in)
- 2 caps that are used for chair-legs and fit the PVC pipe
- 2 AA batteries
- some plastic
- foam-tape
- 1 resistor
- 1 reed-switch
- 2 plan-board-magnets
- a piece of wire
- tape
- scissors
- pliers
- drill (size of your LED: 5mm?)
- needle
- sand-paper
For decorating you can use whatever you like:
- colored tape
- stickers
- markers
Step 2: Preperation
If you are going to do this with kids, you will need to do some preparations:
- Cut the PVC-pipe in the right length: just al little shorter than the two batteries and one of the magnets put end to end.
- Sand off the edges of the pipe, so the end caps will go on easier.
- Drill a (5mm?) hole in the middle of one of the end caps.
- Cut a piece of 10 cm wire.
You will need to do this once for every child that is going to make a flashlight.
Step 3: Cut the plastic
The plastic will be a isolator between the anode of the LED and the battery. You can use any kind of plastic sheet you van find. I used a front-sheet that they use at Kinko's.
- You cut a square that is slidily smaller than the inside of the tube.
- Next you round it off so that it will fit inside the tube.
- To finish it, you will need to pinch a hole in the middle with the needle.
What does bend mean?
to "bend" is to be doing the bending, while "bent" is to have already done the bending.
eg: they bend the metal at 90 degrees (present tense)
or: they bent the metal at 90 degrees (past tense)
if your learning a new language it can be confusing sometimes.
i don't pay a lot of attention to my grammar. or punctuation :3

President Uhuru Kenyatta's TNA will ask its secretary Onyango Oloo to reject a state appointment if it means that he will leave the party. TNA chairman Johnson Sakaja yesterday said that they believe Oloo should legally hold the two positions. He said they will however not allow him to leave the party.
Uhuru last week appointed Oloo to chair the Lake Basin Development Authority. "Articles 77 and 260 of the constitution are very clear. A chairman of a parastatal is not a state officer," Sakaja said. He said the party feels that if Oloo is legally blocked from holding the two positions, he should remain in the party.
"We have, and the SG has also expressed the same, agreed that he should not leave the party and should turn down the new appointment. But we believe that the law is on his side," Sakaja said. There is confusion on whether the law explicitly bars members of parastatal boards from holding political party positions by virtue of them being public officers.
The constitution says public officers are people appointed to public offices and draw their salaries and benefits from the government, including state officers.

Shawnee State University has delivered its official Vacation Description and Exhibit A for inclusion in City Council packets, clearing a request by the council as they prepare for a first reading on the proposed closing of Third Street between Gay Street and Waller Street at Monday night's Portsmouth City Council meeting.
Portsmouth City Council tabled the ordinance because of the absence of a complete description of the specific land to be vacated. The ordinance read in several places - "for vacation of portions of certain streets and alleys, hereinafter set forth…"; "Whereas, all property owners of property abutting upon the portion of said streets…"; "for the vacation of portions of certain streets and alleys, hereinafter fully described (Exhibit A)…"
However the streets and alleys were not "hereinafter" listed in the ordinance, and there was no "Exhibit A." Now that document (Exhibit A) has been prepared by Loren R. Purdom, a professional surveyor. That report contains a list of every lot, every parcel of land required to be vacated in order to turn that section of Third Street over to the university.
The move has been a controversial one as several citizens have repeatedly objected to the closing for a series of reasons, ranging from a possible traffic jam from the U.S. Grant Bridge to Fourth Street — which would become the new thoroughfare in that area — to problems with access to the Social Security office and First Christian Church, to danger to children going to and from schools in the Portsmouth City School District.
SSU Facilities Director Butch Kotcamp says the university has answered all of the questions that have been asked, and has pledged to assist in solving any future unexpected consequences.
One of those who has been vocal in wanting questions answered , First Ward Councilman Kevin Johnson, said at the last meeting of Council, he feels his questions had all been addressed.
"The situation is different for me than two years ago when I voted against this proposition. Two years ago Shawnee State had not met with members of Council, had not, with my knowledge, and this is good knowledge, met with the city schools, had not met with Social Security and had not met with a number of other people. Since then, they have done so. Since then they have addressed each and every of the questions I have provided them, they've provided an outline — very specific — on how they are going to appropriate $270,000 to address various issues. They have an agreement with the police and fire department, and that middle, which is now Third Street, will continue to be used by emergency services."
The ordinance has received endorsements from the Scioto County Commissioners and Portsmouth City School District Superintendent Scott Dutey.
If the ordinance receives its first reading Monday, it may lead to a possible second reading at the next Council meeting making the earliest passage date the April 22 meeting.

Is Ontario Medical Officer of Health part of a Cover up?
Underwood, Ontario/ September 7, 2011- When does a Medical Officer of Health start acting like a doctor is the question Norma Schmidt asked today.
Schmidt, a registered nurse is living in a home surrounded by 110 industrial wind turbines. She has been sick for over a year. Schmidt held a news conference today with John Laforet, President of Wind Concerns Ontario at her home to tell people how devastating it has been.
Laforet pointed to an email dated April 26, 2010 from Dr. David Colby, Acting Medical Officer of Health for Chatham-Kent. It was obtained through an FOI concerning the creation of a report on Potential Health Effects of Wind Turbines by Dr. Arlene King, Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH).
In the email Dr. Colby, one of the contributors to the report, suggests the author (not King but a report
writer) rewrite a section. He points out that "the terms 'evidence/research available to date' … 'To date'
and its inclusion seem to imply that more research is needed."
The diminutive Schmidt is outraged at this statement. "Of course more research needs to be done. They claim there is an absence of evidence," said Schmidt. "They've conducted no clinical research on health impacts from wind turbines in Ontario. As I shouted it down into the legislature from the gallery last year… I am the EVIDENCE!"
Colby's email goes on to state, "There is no evidence that Ontario's sound standards for noise are inadequate." This statement is false. The 4-page report to senior bureaucrats by MOE field officer Cameron Hall dated April 9, 2010 clearly indicated in detail many serious problems with the noise
measurement guidelines for wind turbines that "will result in adverse effects".
"What we have here is a genuine cover up." said John Laforet, President of Wind Concerns Ontario. "Either the Ministry of Environment did not share all their information with the Medical Officer of Health or the Medical Officer of Health decided to ignore it. Either way we have more people in Ontario like Norma suffering as a consequence."
While John Wilkinson (MOE) and Dalton McGuinty claim they are doing everything right they are doing everything wrong. Dr. David Colby's statements have consistently been a resource for the wind industry since his first report back in 2008.
Where is the truth? It is at Norma Schmidt's broken life surrounded by a wind turbine nightmare.

Ian Darby: London riots highlight adland's altruistic side
By Ian Darby, firstname.lastname@example.com, campaignlive.co.uk, Friday, 19 August 2011 12:00AM
George Eliot, a prominent proponent of altruism, wrote: "What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?"
Who'd have thought that advertising practitioners, slammed in recent weeks for an imagined multitude of sins, would come to embody this spirit? Attacked for supposed complicity in sexualising children, while simultaneously making them fat, advertising has also faced - in the wake of last week's riots and looting - the fatuous accusation that it creates the desire and aspiration that led to these displays of criminality.
Well, I was not that surprised with the industry's response. Not that surprised that a trio of Bartle Bogle Hegarty interns launched "Keep Aaron Cutting", a web-based project that raised in excess of £35,000 to keep a North London crimper in business. Not that surprised that Partners Andrews Aldridge's Chris King launched De-Loot London, another web-based project to help local businesses hit by the looters. Not that surprised that Dare and Albion launched online galleries to show the positive sides of London.
And not even that surprised to see, via an image on the Wieden & Kennedy blog, its managing director, Neil Christie, manfully shifting a load of bricks to avoid them being used as missiles.
Not that surprised, perhaps. But really bloody impressed. Impressed not only with the desire to help others but also the speed, aligned with intelligence, that underpinned some of this activity. Advertising, driven by relentless competition for new business and savage rivalry, is so often a cut-throat, selfish world.
An occasional softening and involvement in community can also have its rewards: galvanising an agency, providing learnings and showing how quick on their feat creative people can be when driven by something they feel passionate about. And this observation leads back to the point about altruism. Usually, in performing a service to others, there is a significant benefit to ourselves. In this case, gaining experience that could be useful for paying clients while learning how to move at a speed that would put Usain Bolt to shame.
Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R learnt this back in 2009 when it launched an initiative to help recession-hit Camden shops market themselves. This week, the agency deserves congratulations for landing the £47 million Vodafone account. OK, so the incumbent, Bartle Bogle Hegarty, lost the business through no fault of its own and the process involved a closed pitch against two WPP shops that remain works in progress. Yet, in all the ways that matter, this win was hard-earned. Because RKCR/Y&R has set the creative and strategic bar high for several years now and deserves all the opportunities that come its way.
Claire Beale is away.

I have a client where their network switches default a parm called
flow-control to On.
They have discovered with some of their non-iSeries HW that setting causes
a performance issue. I have been asked what is the preferred setting ( or
do we care? ) for use with iSeries GB NICs.
IBM Support's answer was since they don't have a parm to set in the iSeries
then they don't care.
Any body has a better answer?

Nicholas G. Carr, purveyor of high-brow neo-ludditism and archeo-utopianism, has a piece out in The Wall Street Journal, Dont Burn Your BooksPrint Is Here to Stay. The subtitle is The e-book had its moment, but sales are slowing. Readers still want to turn those crisp, bound pages. Here are some of his rancid chestnuts of un-wisdom:
"Hardcover books are displaying surprising resiliency. The growth in e-book sales is slowing markedly. And purchases of e-readers are actually shrinking, as consumers opt instead for multipurpose tablets. It may be that e-books, rather than replacing printed books, will ultimately serve a role more like that of audio booksa complement to traditional reading, not a substitute."

Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi has dismissed claims that journalists were rejected from covering proceedings of the assembly as has been stated in a communique allegedly originating from the clerk of the National Assembly, Justin Bundi.
Muturi said that the statement attributed to Bundi was false and that clarified that journalists were only asked to vacate the media centre to allow the room to be used by some House Committees.
"There are several House Committees and the space at the Media Centre can accommodate two of them concurrently," Muturi said while clarifying that journalists will be assigned alternative accommodation.
Muturi further sought to clarify that the media did not need invites to cover the proceedings stating that the constitution guarantees the public access to the deliberations except in special circumstances where it is the Speaker and not the clerk that can ask the media to leave the gallery.
Suba MP John Mbadi who sought clarity on the alleged directive by Bundi said, "The communication if true was going to reflect the members of the House as intolerant."
The Parliament House Business Committee yesterday allegedly ruled to block journalists from covering proceeding at the National Assembly. According to a statement allegedly released by the clerk of the National Assembly Justin Bundi journalists were to be allowed to cover proceedings only after getting an invitation from the Bundi.

To build and strengthen a professional practice environment for our clinical nursing staff which fosters:
Clinical nursing staff involvement in making decisions which impact their practice has been in place at York Hospital for several years. Whether it be the Nursing Clinical Council of the late 1990's, the clinical staff who re-designed the clinical ladder in 1999, the staff who designed the Patient Care Tower from 200-2005, or the Shared Decision Making Design team of 2002-2003, staff nurse input has been heard and valued at the hospital, service line and unit levels.
The York Hospital Shared Decision Making Model continues to grow and mature. The journey has not always been smooth or easy, but the vision of strengthening the professional practice environment for our nursing staff continues to be our compass.
Below are links to information about each council that make up the Shared Decision Making process including the leaders, members and accomplishments of the respective councils for 2005.
This search will provide you with WellSpan Medical Group and Northern Lancaster County (Ephrata) Medical Group primary care physicians and specialists. If we don't have a WellSpan Medical Group physician to meet your criteria, the search will expand to include community physicians who partner with WellSpan Medical Group physicians through the WellSpan Provider Network or provide care to patients on the Medical Staffs of WellSpan's Hospitals.×

A bus burst into flames on an elevated lane in southeastern China's Fujian province yesterday, killing at least 42 people and injuring at least 33, the official Xinhua News Agency said, citing authorities.
The bus caught fire in Xiamen at about 6:30 p.m. local time when it was 500 meters away from the the Jinshan bus stop, Xinhua said, citing an unidentified city official. The cause of the fire is under investigation, the news service reported.
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang give "instructions" on handling the fire, Xinhua reported. The government has sent a work team lead by Minister of Public Security Guo Shengkun to the scene, the news agency said.
On June 3, a fire at a poultry plant in the northeastern province of Jilin killed 120 people. The nation's deadliest blaze in 13 years prompted Chinese President Xi Jinping to order an investigation.
The Fujian Daily gave the death toll for the Xiamen fire at 48, without citing anyone.

Viacom v. YouTube: All Over But the Shouting
With the release last week of both parties' motions for summary judgment in Viacom's $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit against YouTube and Google, it's evident that the case has become the legal equivalent of the Battle of Stalingrad: a bitter and bloody fight to the death that grows increasingly tangential to the strategic outcome of the war the longer it drags on.
When the Wehrmacht invaded the Soviet Union in 1941, Stalingrad wasn't even part of the initial battle plan. The German high command wanted to bypass the heavily defended city, deeming its capture an unnecessary diversion from a more critical objective (seizing the Russian oil fields around the Black Sea).
Once committed, however, Hitler refused to cut his losses and move on, even after his army was cut off and surrounded by the Soviets. The main battle lines moved on, sweeping back and forth across hundreds of miles of Russian steppe. But the fighting at Stalingrad dragged on for six more brutal months, through the grim Russian winter, long past the point where the city's capture held strategic value, while killing an estimated 1 million men on each side (and nearly that many civilians).
Thankfully, no one has yet been killed in the Battle of YouTube. But the longer it drags on the less relevant it grows to the future of online video, both legally and strategically. (For a very different view of the case, see my colleague Bobbie Johnson's take.)
Many of the legal questions raised by the case, especially those involving the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA, while unsettled when Viacom filed the suit in February 2007, have since been asked and answered in other cases. To note just a few:
- In March 2007, the Ninth Circuit ruled in Perfect 10 v. CCBill that "[T]he DMCA notification procedures place the burden of policing copyright infringement — identifying the potentially infringing material and adequately documenting infringement — squarely on the owners of the copyright" owner, not on those of the service provider, as Viacom would have it.
- In August 2008, a federal district court ruled in Io Group v. Veoh, that the automatic and automated transcoding of uploaded videos does not disqualify a service provider from the DMCA safe harbor, again as Viacom would have it, by making them active participants in any infringement because the process still happens at the exclusive direction of the user.
- In September 2009, a different federal court ruled in UMG v. Veoh that a "general awareness of infringement," as Viacom seeks to establish of YouTube through its emails, does not confer liability on a service provider.
While it's possible that the court in Viacom v. Google could reach different conclusions, the odds that Viacom will get a favorable ruling on those points went way down after those decisions were handed down.
On a strategic level, moreover, Viacom is no longer even asking the court to change anything about the way YouTube currently operates:
[W]e do not ask the Court to address potential liability for post-May 2008 infringement in this motion and, if Viacom's summary judgment motion is granted, do not intend to do so at trial.
Why not? Because May 2008 is when YouTube implemented its Content ID filtering system, mooting most of Viacom's legal complaints.
So why go on? Presumably, in the hope that establishing YouTube's liability prior to its implementing the filter will give Viacom leverage to demand that other UGC sites also adopt filters.
In UMG v. Veoh, however, the court made it clear that the DMCA confers no obligation on a service provider "to implement filtering technology at all, let alone technology from the copyright holder's preferred vendor or on the copyright holder's desired timeline." So it could be a long wait for filtering even if Viacom wins.
Lawyers (of which I'm not one) of course may quibble about legal the significance of the various cases cited here. But it's hard to see how any plausible legal outcome at this point could really advance Viacom's strategic business interests.

Have you played in PNG? Discuss...
A mate of mine works for the ICC in development for East Asia Pacific region, and PNG are reportedly the best side by some distance in that competition, and I believe have a team in the U19 WC on at the moment.
A few PNG players have come over and played some club cricket here in Melbourne, and done decently. We had a young Japanese kid come and play for us, and it's quite interesting what they pick up quicker than those who have grown up with the game.

The atmosphere was very good and the hostel had arranged activities in the evening which were optional. The other guests were friendly and from a wide area of the world. I thin I would return to this hostel if I were to return to Las Vegas. Cheers, "

- " O Hostel é simples, claro não é hotel, porém é bel legal. Fica na mesma rua, mas é um pouco longe da The Strip que é lugar onde tem os melhores e mais famosos hotéis cassino. Isso não é um problema, pois tem um ônibus que passa lá a cada 20 min e deixa você e qualquer lugar na Las Vegas Blvd. Encontrei pessoas muitos legais de várias partes do mundo. "

I also bought one of these, $126 delivered. I expected a light flimsy device, but it is actually quite heavy, and the handlebar mount is is diecast aluminium, which I expected to be plastic.
So far I'm only riding dirt country roads, and it works great. For the price it is the difference between having one or not, as a Zumo is just not on the budgetary horizon. Prefer a new set of tyres.
I just wanted something that told me where I was, and easy to use, and on both counts it succeeds. When I bought mine, I just asked whether Australian maps were included, and they quickly responded and said no problem, and trued to their word, I just turned it on and it worked, nothing else to do, which is all I wanted. I really did not want to mess about loading this and that and rooting etc etc. I found a stray plug under the seat of my BMW F650GS, and wired it to that, taking advantage of the wiring loom, and the GPS software automatically goes into a 10 second shutdown routine when I turn the ignition off, which I really like, avoiding having to press the button on the side for 5 seconds to turn it off.
I have a 5" chinese GPS in my car, also IGo8, so it was dejavu for me, but this version has a march larger arrow head so that it it quick to find in a quick glance. I haven't messed with the Bluetooth side of it, or the MP3 player, but it does have quite loud sound for a small gadget.
Like someone else said, if I get a few years out of, I will be very pleased, and happy to upgrade when the time comes. Its easy to use, accurate, and does the job for a really cheap price. Recommended!
Don't die wondering..........
