Effectiveness of LipoDissolve and Mesotherapy for Fat Reduction
In the most recent issue of our prestiguous journal, Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (April), I read an article on evaluating the effectiveness of mesotherapy on body contouring. This was a study out of Seoul, Korea on 20 women who had mesotherapy injections on their inner thighs on one side and not the other over a 12 week period. The results showed, not surprisingly, that no measureable improvement could be seen.
This study highlights several important points on aesthetic treatments that are frequently confused. Mesotherapy is the injection of a mixture of different compounds into the skin. (the study cited above used aminophylline, buflomedil, and lidocaine) This is different than LipoDissolve therapies where one specific compound, phosphatidylcholine, is injected into the underlying fat. Mesotherapy (meso = mesium or skin) and LipoDissolve are terms that are often used interchangeably but they really signify completely different types of treatments. Just because both come out of a small needle, like Botox and injectable fillers, doesn't mean they all do the same thing.
I have always questioned the effectiveness of mesotherapy approaches for fat removal or cellulite treatment. It is difficult to see how injecting chemicals into the skin can effect the underlying fat. Perhaps cellulite may have some improvement with mesotherapy since this problem has a skin component to it. But I have yet to see well-controlled studies that have provided convincing evidence to date. But the removal of fat requires agents that directly contact it such as what happens in LipoDissolve. While LipoDissolve requires more study and better analysis, given the large number of patients that are being treated (it is NOT an FDA-approved procedure), but I have first-hand experience with its outcomes and there clearly is some benefit to its use. The issue with LipoDissolve is not its effectiveness but in choosing the right patients for treatment and analyzing for each patient the cost-benefit analysis versus other treatment options, most typically that of liposuction.

THE Tanzania Breweries Limited (TBL) has posted substantial half year profit before tax of 115.23bn/-, equivalent to 8 per cent growth compared to 107.14bn/- generated in the corresponding period last year.
The company issued a statement, portraying Group Profit and Loss Accounts for the six months ending September 2012 which show that revenues grew by 14 per cent to about 440bn/- from 386.54bn/- of the same period last year.
Similarly, gross profit, according to the financial report, grew by 14 per cent to 216.03bn/- in the period under review compared to 188.85bn/- generated in the preceding period last year. Commenting on the TBL outstanding performances, Mr Moremi Marwa, the Tanzania Securities Limited (TSI) Chief Executive Officer, said the financial statement would impact positively on the trade of its shares at the Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange (DSE).
TBL is currently one of the companies listed at the Dar bourse and its shares continue to exhibit positive performances, with prices recently closing at 2,640/-. He said that already, the TBL board which approved payment of 150/- per share as the first interim dividend for the 2012/13 financial year, contributed to move the shares which traded at 2,640/- on Tuesday from 2,620/- a day before.
The TBL financial statement shows that earning per share increased by 8 per cent to 256/- in the period under review from 238/- of the corresponding period. "Definitely, being a dividend driven market especially for retail investors there will be a positive reaction," said Mr Marwa.
Also on Tuesday, the one million shares were traded in a pre-arranged deal at a price of 3,000/-. The TBL managed to post outstanding performances in the period under review despite an increase in taxes on its brands.
The Finance Minister Dr William Mgimwa announced when tabling the national budget estimates in Dodoma in June this year that there would be a tax increase on locally produced beverages.
Moreover, apart from the effects of high inflation, the results reflect an encouraging improvement from the previous year because it comes at a time when the competitiveness of the market is growing.

Dear Ukraine SIG Friends,
This is an updated extract from the annual report Ukraine SIG submitted to JewishGen for 2011-2012. It outlines our progress toward SIG revitalization during the past year.
The past year has been devoted to revitalizing Ukraine SIG. We have changed the way Ukraine SIG operates. We are more active in seeking out records, translating them, processing them and making them available. We changed the way the SIG is governed, appointed an entirely new Board of Directors, improved communication, and shifted our orientation from guberniyas (provinces) to towns and districts. We completely restructured our website to reflect our new towns and districts orientation and to make data and information easier to find.
� We have recruited volunteers as Town Leaders for 143 towns.
� We have increased the number of KehilaLinks websites for Ukraine towns from 47 to 78 with another 50 pending.
� Our Discussion List now has 2,876 subscribers, up from 2,650 last year, an 8.8% increase.
� A new Facebook page supplements our SIG�s Discussion List.
� In addition to Town Leaders and KehilaLinks Owners we have gone from zero to more than 50 volunteers actively working, including 25 translators to help with Russian, Polish, Hebrew, and Yiddish documents.
� We created and posted 28 InfoSheets & �How-to� documents. These include two PowerPoint tutorials, one to help Ukraine SIG volunteers create name indexes for Yizkor Book translations, and one to help volunteers index the unindexed fields of the Ellis Island Database.
� We created an online Language and Skills Survey that has served as a model for other SIGs. It has provided us with a list of eager volunteers who have the skills we need for our projects.
At the beginning of the year, the SIG had no active projects underway. Now, ...
� We are translating name lists from 4 Russian books and several other sources, including 4 Prenumeranten. Two Prenumeranten lists with more than 1,800 names are done. Two others are in-progress. A 1919 Pogrom list for Trostyanets and a 1748 Census for Vishnevets have been completed. Five other name lists are in-progress.
� We have acquired and are translating more than 1,300 catalog cards from the Central Archives for the History of the Jewish People.
� We have completed translation of gravestones from the Trostyanets Jewish cemetery and are working on gravestones from Zhitomir Jewish Cemeteries, more than 4,500 gravestones.
� We acquired, translated and submitted to the JewishGen Ukraine Database more than 3,000 records from the 1795 Ostrog Census.
� We have indexed the un-indexed fields of the Ellis Island Database records for 4 towns and are working on 3 others.
� We have begun indexing names and other information on KehilaLinks websites for Ukraine towns. One website is done; 3 others are in-progress.
� We have created 6 new KehilaLinks websites under SIG sponsorship until permanent owners step forward. We also are helping 4 KehilaLinks website owners update their sites.
� We have identified, and are translating and cataloging more than 600 data sources on Russian language websites.
� Vital records with more than 14,000 names for three towns have been translated and are ready for posting. Vital records translations for 3 other towns with more than 3,200 names are in-progress.
� Extraction of data from Yad Vashem for one town is in-progress.
� We have guided creation of name indexes for 4 Yizkor Books. The indexes contain more than 7,500 names and have been submitted to JewishGen for posting.
� We have provided translators for 5 Yizkor Books.
� We have given presentations about the new Ukraine SIG to the JGSs of Oregon, Washington, and Greater Orlando.
� We have arranged for a guest luncheon speaker at the 2012 IAJGS Paris Conference, Iryna Serheyeva, head of the Department of Jewish Studies at the Vernadsky National Library of Ukraine. She also will give a presentation about resources at the Kyiv Archives. Two other SIG presentations have been accepted by the Conference.
All datasets are being submitted to the JewishGen Ukraine Database, the Yizkor Book Master Name Index, and JOWBR.
It has been a busy year for Ukraine SIG � and there is much more to come.

where Jewish genealogy is personal
I want to tell you about a tremendous new resource that Marilyn Robinson, Tara Levin, and Bena Shklyanoy have uncovered, each working independently. It is the Russian language website of the Center for Genealogical Research (http://www.rosgenea.ru). Each entry is a short biographical paragraph about an individual. The paragraph often includes names of spouses or children. The entries are arranged alphabetically by surname. According to the website, the list covers the European territory of the former Russian Empire, people born before 1918. I estimate that about 10% of the names are Jewish.
The website contains about 420,000 primary surnames (almost 2,600 pages of primary surnames with about 160 names per page). Common surnames have multiple secondary pages, each with up to 15 people listed. For example the primary surname Kagan has six secondary pages with a total of 60 to 90 name entries. We estimate that the Center's website has more than 6 million individual name entries ... between 500,000 and 1 million Jewish name entries. A.M. Paramonov's Encyclopedia of Names, Kharkov Province seems to be drawn from this list. (We are more than half finished with the extraction of Jewish names and translating the entries from Paramonov's Encyclopedia.)
The entries seem to be drawn from 5 reference works (all in Russian):
1) Address book of members of the All-Union Botanical Society, as of May 1, 1957. St. Petersburg. Publisher: USSR Academy of Sciences. Leningrad, 1958. (Scanning funded by the Center for Genealogical Research)
2) City of Yekaterinburg, Collection of historical statistics and background information on the city, with an address pointer and including some information on the Yekaterinburg district. A publication of Yekaterinburg Mayor I.I. Simanova. Yekaterinburg. Printed in Yekaterinburg Week in 1889. (Scanning funded by /Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company/).
3)Picturesque Russia. , Volume 4. Part two. by P.P. Semionov; St. Petersburg - Moscow: 1881-1901, M.O. Wolf (bookseller-typographer). (Scanning funded by Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company)
4) Complete list of officer ranks of the Russian Imperial Army on 1 January 1909. St. Petersburg: Military press (in the building of the General Staff). (Scanning funded by the Center for Genealogical Research)
5) Russia. The full geographical description of our country. Desktop and road book. Volume 5. Urals and the Ural region. St. Petersburg. Publisher: A.F. DeVries, 1914. (scanning funded Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company)
We need translators to extract the Jewish entries, translate them from printed Russian to English, and enter the translations in a spreadsheet. We will provide you with the spreadsheet template. Bena (firstname.lastname@example.com) will serve as Project Manager until we can find a qualified Manager to take over the project. I have entered this project and related data collection into our website database. You can see the project page here.
Please contact me if you can help with this project, either as project manager or as a translator.

Starting a business is expensive – which is why it's so important for small business owners to know how and where tax deductions are an option. Whether you are an S Corporation, C Corporation or an LLC – each type of corporation lends itself to tax benefits that should be taken advantage of. C-Corps, for example, are able to take deduction on health insurance premiums, whereas S-corps are not.
However, while tax deductions are a great way for small businesses to save money, it's essential to ensure that each deductable expense is justified from both a business and operations perspective. Here are some helpful tips to consider when looking for tax deductable savings:
- It goes without saying that the costs of running a business add up, but many of these ordinary business expenses are tax deductable. However, it's important to recognize the difference between a business expense and a capital asset. Copy paper would be considered a tax deductable business expense, but a computer would be considered a non-deductable capital asset because it benefits the business for more than one year.
- Look at the benefits you offer to employees. After incorporating a business, programs including health insurance premiums, life insurance or retirement plans are often tax deductable expenses. As mentioned above, some of these types of deductions are only allowed if you are a C-Corp – so be sure to familiarize yourself with the regulations for your specific type of business. These benefits will not only offer you savings when tax season rolls around, but they are also a great incentive to attract new employees.
- Working from a home office? The Small Business Administration says that the average home office deduction is $3,686 – but be careful when taking this type of deduction. Make sure that writing off a home office makes sense for your future because it can't be exempt from capital gains tax if the house is sold later. A home office deduction is an example of a deduction that's likely more relevant to an S-Corp.
- As with all documentation for your business, be sure to keep thorough records of all expenses. This way, in the event of an audit, you can easily prove to the IRS that you paid the expense and the deduction was correct.
Tax season can definitely be a headache, but the savings you can generate through tax deductions are a nice silver lining. The best thing you can do is familiarize yourself with the IRS regulations for your specific corporation, ask questions and make sure you're taking advantage of all legal avenues to save.

Units: 12
With technology scaling, reliability issues triggered by multiple sources are increasing rapidly. Thus, reliability is one of the most important design goals, and it needs to be considered at every design layer, from technology at the low end, up to the system layer.
The first part of the course focuses on existing reliability issues, reliability modeling approaches, and the design for reliability at current technology node. The second part explores application specific reliability issues in medical devices, automotive and aerospace control systems, power systems, communication systems, etc. Finally, the course explores the reliability dimension in emerging and non-silicon technologies, from carbon nano-tubes and molecular electronics to microfluidic biochips and synthetic biology. This is a graduate-level, research-oriented course. It is aimed at a wide audience: students from electrical and computer engineering, computer science, biomedical engineering, physics, etc. In addition to attending lectures, students are expected to read and review papers and come up with critiques to current solutions or propose new solutions to open problems. The course will also include work on a semester long project. Several thrusts will be addressed during the entire semester and will be available for further study within projects: • Sources of faults, errors and failures in current and future technology • Modeling and analysis of reliability at different levels of abstraction • Design techniques for reliability at different levels of abstraction • Interplay between power, performance, cost and reliability • Safety, security and reliability • Reliability, testing and verification • Application-specific approaches to reliability • Reliability issues in emerging technologies

My birthday was last week. I won't pontificate on how old I am. And I definitely won't get into how I feel like half my life is gone, and that my real life is finally here and just beginning. We all know that life goes on. We grow old and eventually die. So I strive to enjoy the fun stuff, like cooking!
The best part of my birthday is that I didn't actually have to cook, and I was oddly relieved to come home from work to a little feast warmly prepared by my husband. He hit our favorite Italian butcher on the way home and prepared his version of surf and turf. He seared the Delmonico steaks and then finished them off in the broiler. With a pinch of red pepper flakes, he finished off his own version of shrimp scampi (sans butter). They were sauteed in olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper and those red pepper flakes for a few minutes, then gently placed atop those Delmonico steaks.
Surf and turf really doesn't need much else, but the husband knows how much I adore brussels sprouts and couldn't resist cooking up a few. Or a lot. He sprinkled them with olive oil, salt and pepper and then put them in a 350 degree oven for about 25-30 minutes. I look at these photos and want to just return to that night, and swim in those brussels sprouts. The bright green mixed with the crusty caramelized parts just call to me. We have more in the fridge and I may to have whip up a few right now.
Dessert was made up of six glorious cupcakes, all for me, and pictured above. But I could barely make it through one due to all that sugary frosting. These cupcakes were purchased at Baker's Best, an independent catering business in Newton and Needham, Massachusetts. These treats lasted three days.
We had a great bottle of wine with dinner – a Malbec from Argentina. I just loved that label. Can you see the cat in the ancient drawings used on the label?

When will the ALT SF schedule be announced?
Check back about a month before the event when we will have lots of schedule details to share. Of course, we like to keep a few surprises up our sleeves, which means the final schedule won't be announced until the week of the event. But we guarantee it will knock your socks off!

A large number of isolated basaltic scoria cones are located throughout Antarctica's northern Victoria Land near the western coast of the Ross Sea. One lava flow on the southern side of Cosmonaut Glacier, SW of Mount Overlord, spilled onto the glacier and diverted it, but has not yet been removed by erosion or covered by ice. Nathan and Schulte (1968) inferred a possible age for the lava flow of less than a thousand years.

Breast Pain Gone but get Thyroid checked regularly
16 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer3151270 on Jan 08, 2013
I take one tablet daily for fibrocystic breast disease. I originally started on one a day which eliminated symptoms. But after just under a year some mild symptoms stated to come back. I got a small lump surrounded by very tender inflamation. I increased my dose to two tablets and the lump was completely gone within a few days!! Soon after I went back to one tab per day. I cannot express my gratitude enough that I found out about this product and the protection benefits of iodine. I had suffered from FBD for many years and got to the stage where I couldnt even hug my kids or my husband - it was so painful. I had a lump surgically removed which was completely unnecessary as taking the iodine would have eliminated it. I wish my surgeon had told me about the condition I had and that taking this would cure it. ** WARNING THOUGH I would cut back the dosage after 12-18 months though to half a tab or preferably stop for a while. IMO by then your body should have been completely saturated with the Iodine and you don't want it to start making your thyroid work overtime. It is supposed to be be safe for long term use but I would proceed long term with caution. You can always start taking it again later if needed. ALWAYS take with some magnesium and vitamin C! And make sure you get your thyroid checked regularly whilst taking this. If you have taken too much Iodine you will start to feel very jittery like you have had too much coffee and this is your thyroid working too hard.

Vitor Belfort feels he deserves a rematch with Jon Jones or Anderson Silva | News
Vitor Belfort (22-10 MMA, 11-6 UFC) wants another shot at light heavyweight champ Jon Jones, but he also thinks he's made a pretty good argument for rematching Anderson Silva.
Belfort, who spoke to reporters during a media gathering in support of UFC 156, recently denied Bisping another golden opportunity when he earned a second-round TKO this past month at UFC on FX 7. It was the second the British middleweight failed to capitalize on a title eliminator, and because he was cast as the most logical contender prior to the bout, Belfort's victory had all the more impact on the middleweight division."I deserve the rematch, so that's the fight I'm looking for," Belfort said. "If not him, I'm looking to get to be a contender of my division. Nobody made a statement with that, and I think the way I beat (Michael) Bisping takes me very close to the contender shot."
Now the question is what's next for "The Phenom." Prior to beating Bisping, he lost to Jones at UFC 152, and two years ago, he was viciously knocked out by Silva.
That leaves him somewhat in the lurch. Although he's been linked to a bout with former Strikeforce champ Luke Rockhold, he indicated the fight was far from a done deal.
If he has his say, he'd rather go to light-heavyweight. He wants a chance to beat Jones after nearly pulling off the upset of the decade this past September, when he was installed as a contender after multiple opponents turned down the champ. A heavy underdog, he shocked the world when he popped Jone's right elbow with an armbar in the first round of the fight."I'll accept any fight, but I need to know where this fight is going to take me," Belfort said.
Belfort faded in later rounds and submitted in the fourth, but he the believes his near-submission is a much better argument for a rematch than the circumstances that put Chael Sonnen in the No. 1 contender spot.
The question is whether he'll get it. Belfort blasted Sonnen for getting the opportunity to fight Jones, as he did following his win over Bisping when he screamed at UFC executives to switch them."I'll be ready, and I have my people negotiating," he said. "But I want Jon Jones. I want his left arm."
Belfort likened the two-time middleweight title contender to a circus clown, saying Sonnen was shamed by Silva when they fought at UFC 148. Sonnen, he implied, had talked his way into the title shot, while he said yes to a fight that was offered.
Ultimately, though, both were given the opportunity by the UFC, who serves as the final voice in matchmaking. That's why Belfort is going to wait to see what the promotion has to say before he campaigns any further. Wherever he goes, he wants the fight to have big implications."People are picking fights," Belfort said. "I don't agree with that. I believe in sport, you earn it."
In his mind, fighters who beat the best opponents should get the best opportunities."If I need to pick a fight, I will pick guys that have the title," he said. "People in the division that I can conquer. I'm not scared of anybody."
So Belfort plans to enjoy a two-day vacation and not worry about it. His managers will be doing the talking for him in the coming days."If I'm in the 185 division, I beat the second guy, I earned that place," Belfort said. "That's how I think, but that's not how it is."

TALLAHASSEE, Florida — They were first marketed as an alternative to smoking cigarettes, but now electronic cigarettes are getting into the hands of minors.
Jim Hampton owns Just VaPin' in Tallahassee. He says he's always stopped people under 18 from buying them.
"We believe in self-regulation," Hampton said. "Without a parent in the store and if they look under 18, we certainly will ask for an I.D. and if they don't produce one, we'll ask them to leave."

Personalized Modern Island Living: the Lopez Island Residence
The Lopez Island Residence is surrounded by as much inspiring nature as possible. Located – as its name states – on Lopez Island, Washington, the home cascades gently between the trees to offer a bold connection to nature. The structure of the house runs along a river close by. This allowed an orientation that offers both light and warmth and ensures beautiful views of the surroundings. An isolated master bedroom at the upper level sets a comfort standard in the middle of nature. The architects explain how the floor-plan was created: "The angle of the living wing corresponds to the bank and creates an embraced outdoor deck area. The house reaches out to the southeast path to the beach, to the gardens further to the east and most importantly to the west and northwest views of the water." Needing for their creativity to run free, the inhabitants asked for a studio to help maintain the same dream lifestyle, so they received a generous space for both of them to share their artistic views. His and hers art spaces bring a much needed creative space to the almost perfect residence and the studio is connected to the house with the help of an arcade. Designed by David Vandervort Architects, the house features an impressive Tibetan prayer wheel that adds character and an Asian influence. This is the personalized modern island living we would love to see more of.

The question of healing today is one that should concern us greatly. Firstly, the widening gap between the rich and poor of the world impacts on provision of health services to the multitudes of needy people. Secondly, the majority of the poor people of the world are found in the third world which also happens to be where Christianity is growing in leaps and bounds. The type of Christianity that is on the rise across the world is the Pentecostal - Charismatic one. One of the major characteristics of this form of Christianity is its belief in the availability and practice of divine healing today. As a Pentecostal, I too maintain the availability and practice of divine healing. But I have a serious concern which I think should be shared broadly. Popular teaching on divine healing seems Scripturally fraudulent and dangerous to many desperate people in Pentecostal - Charismatic churches and those without. This is what concerns me greatly. I shall go about arguing this point under the following headings:
- The fraudulance of popular teaching on divine healing
I hope to submit part 2 on the subject later. Its aim would be to propose a way of talking about the subject of divine healing in a manner that assists the sick to maintain faith in God regardless of whether healing manifests or not.
The fraudulance of popular teaching on divine healing
In order to establish whether popular teaching on divine healing is indeed Scripturally fraudulent or not, one needs to remember most sermons by itinerant tent evangelists concerning healing as well as beliefs held by most Pentecostal - Charismatic folks regarding healing. I have been raised in the circles of Pentecostals to believe that 'God heals.' Pentecostal meetings feature prayer for the sick. And every form of physical malady is prayed for. Everytime prayer is offered for physical sickness, it is underlined by a belief that 'God heals'. Listening to the accompanying teaching, one hears it proclaimed that all manner of sicknesses stand no chance in the presence of God and the application of his power. In some circles, it is taught that divine healing is for all believers for all time secured by Christ through his death. Consequently, a 'child of God' should live in health - for that is the sign of God's blessing. All these give a glimpse of the teaching around the subject. Now, the question that we want to ask is whether this teaching is Scriptural or not.
The scripturality of a teaching or belief depends on such a teaching being warranted in the Bible. I have argued that the teaching that 'God heals today' has warrants in the Bible, in history and contemporary experience (see God still heals today). But the problem that that particular study was dealing with, was a doubt if not a negation of God's involvement in today's healing activity. Now in this piece, where the concern is with fraudulence of popular teachings regarding divine healing, the question is: what is fraudulent about this so called popular teaching? I think that the fraudulence of popular teaching lies in its pretence that sickness and faith are opposites which can never be found together, that when a believer is sick, it points to either slackness in faith or God's disfavour, that religious repentance and faith expressed through confessions of the 'Word' and 'giving to God' are panacea for all ills of the body a believer can come across. That such a belief is fraudulent is borne firstly by Scriptural record and second by experience. The next section presents some evidence from the Bible against which the above stated belief should be seen.

press release
Awaiting trial inmates and petty thieves have been identified by the IFP as the main reason for overcrowding in prisons and the party wants a review of sentencing to be conducted.
IFP Spokesperson on Correctional Services, Mr Velaphi Ndlovu said "The issue of overcrowding in South African jails needs to be dealt with urgently. People who have committed petty crimes such as stealing bread or apples to feed themselves should not be sent to jail for six months. People who cannot afford to pay their bail which is less than R1000 should be released into the custody of their relatives pending court proceedings"
The party also wants prisoners who have served long term jail (who are lifers) and have gone through rehabilitation to be released into the care of their families.
"Those prisoners who are sentenced to more than 25 years or more should be released to their families after they have finished their sentences because they would have changed over time and they can still be monitored on the outside. If they are found to have engaged in any other criminal activity then they will be rearrested. These are ideas that the department of Correctional Services needs to look into it in order to solve the over-crowding problem" said Ndlovu.
The IFP also wants the victims of those serving long term jail to be engaged in the process and for them to understand why the prisoners are being released and be monitored in their place where they will be. This is to curb any attempts to take the law into their own hands because they perceive this as an injustice. Members of the community where the released prisoners will stay would also play a crucial role in the monitoring process so that they are also involved.

Lake Bemidji State Park has opened a Nice Ride station, located near the park office building.
It's a pilot project designed to increase biking in Bemidji by both residents and visitors. There are 200 bikes available for residents and visitors to rent in Bemidji, including 10 bikes at the station at the park.
"Lake Bemidji State Park is the perfect place to host a Nice Ride Bemidji station," said Pete Harrison, park manager. "It contains more than 6 miles of trail within the park, connects with the trail system around Lake Bemidji, and is the northernmost trailhead for the Paul Bunyan State Trail, which travels more than 115 miles all the way to Crow Wing State Park."
Nice Ride Bemidji is a standard rental service offering bike rentals at a flat fee by the hour, day or week. The station offers visitors staying at the park another option for travelling into town or around the lake. They can also plan an entire weekend around riding the Bemidji area trails.
Normal rental rates for the bikes are $6 per hour, $20 per half day, $25 per day or $80 per week.
"We often receive requests for bike rentals," Harrison said, "so it just makes sense to have a station at the park that can accommodate our customer requests. This also gave us the opportunity to get involved early with an incredible community program that promotes active living and outdoor recreation."
Park visitors can reserve bikes online using personal computers, tablets or smartphone devices. The park office is unable to make reservations for customers, but the campground and visitor center do have Wi-Fi connections.

The World Summit on Sustainable Development is to be held in South Africa in September this year.
Its aim is to bring out strategies and ways to help less developed nations build their economies in order to sustain present and future generations, particularly with sustainable development of their natural resources.
However, as has been written before by others in different media, there is a growing gap between commitments and implementation, and the Earth Summit, is expected to focus on delivery, this being a follow-up on the Rio environmental sustainability summit held in Brazil in 1992.
The archaic question is: How does a summit of this magnitude deliver?
Why has there been a growing gap between commitment and implementation?
Despite the efforts brought about by the International Drinking Water Supply and Sanitation decade (1981-1990), regional water shortages and deterioration of water quality is serious in many parts of the world and are likely to worsen.
Global studies show projections of per capita all purpose water availability dropping from 1 000-5 000 cubic metres per year today to less than 1 000 cubic metres of water per year by 2030 in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Afghanistan.
Similar regression in per capita total use water availability is forecast in developed countries such as the US, the east European countries and European Russia, where the scale will slide down from over 10 000 cubic metres of water per capita per year to anywhere between 5 000 to 10 000 cubic metres of water per capita per year.
In summary, it appears the per capita water availability will be lessened by 35 percent due to population expansion alone, as compared to today's total use water availability.
The international drinking water supply and sanitation decade programme does not appear to have come to grips with the fact that in less developed countries of Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, though they would approach their maximum developable drinking water supply by the year 2000, it would be quite expensive to develop the remaining water.
In an industrialised country which belongs to the IDC group, competition among different uses of water - for increasing food production for new energy systems such as production of synthetic fuels from coal and shale for increasing power generation, and for increasing of other industries - will aggravate drinking water shortages.
How then should the Earth Summit tackle the problem of deliverance?
While many project proponents do seek public input, it is often too little, too late. More and more, the successful project must meet not only technical financial and regulatory criteria but must also meet the criterion of public acceptability.
Gaining public acceptance, also referred to as informed consent, has become a critical objective in most planning projects, thus initiating resource management planning process emphasis on early and continued public comment.
Why develop resource management plans? As the values and interests of society change, many different and often competing demands are placed on the country's land and water resources.
Resource management planning provides a process for making equitable and efficient decisions about the future use of the resources.
By integrating public comments into the planning process, a plan that balances varied public needs can be produced.
Each of the resources management plans will serve as a 10-year guide for making sound resource management decisions.
A challenging future? On a global level, the third millennium offers a chaotic view when considering total use of natural resources available. Debates will continue on natural resources management. History, however, teaches us that deliberate listing of real and imaginary difficulties has rarely resulted in a future collapse of society.
The World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg should bring out deliverance to sustain and develop the world economy for present and future generations.

Radio Programmer
Here is a small circuit that I have made from other designs on the internet. I am working to find out what more generic parts can be used to make it simpler for people to make. This programmer will work with most all computers. It does require a serial connection, if you do not have one a usb to serial adapter works. I will list the adapters that work so far and where you can get them a good prices. I am also collecting a list of the cable assemblies that you can make to interface with different radios. I soon will have a list with description and images for the radio cables so far.
I have built 2 of these so far and do not have problems with them. The best part about this design is that is uses different cables to go between the programmer and radios.
Working Radio List
I am collecting a list of all the radios that it will program. So far we have a small list that is growing.
Radios/Software Used:

Yaesu Ft-8800 / FTB8800 Bob Freeth, G4HFQ www.g4hfq.co.uk
Click on the links below to open the .pdf files. The first one is the programmer and the second it the list of parts needed. I tried to put the images on the page direct but can not yet make them legible.

(Note: To save these files right click on the link tab and select save location as.)
Programming Cables
This cable is used to program the VX-6. I am sure that more radios will work but I have only listed the ones that I know work.
It is a 4 conductor 3.5mm end.
The VX-10 uses the same cable design but not the same pins on the cable.
Look below to make the right connections

(Click on image to see larger image)
This cable is for the FT-7800, FT-8800. As stated above will list as I know that is works with other radios.
The connector to the radio is off of an old keyboard.
The other end of the cable is just a mono metal head phone plug.

The highly anticipated showdown between the U.S. government and the state of Arizona over the state's new immigration enforcement law began in a federal courtroom today.
Government lawyers asked U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton to block the law from taking effect next week, while attorneys representing Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer asked that the entire case be dismissed.
Bolton did not rule on either request following today's hearing and has not indicated when she will issue her decision.
Earlier Thursday, she also heard arguments in a separate lawsuit brought by a group of civil rights and immigrant advocacy organizations opposing the measure.
The Justice Department, which filed its lawsuit earlier this month, says Arizona's law "crossed a constitutional line" and would disrupt the right and ability of the federal government to set and enforce national immigration laws. Government lawyers also claim the law is too broad and could result in racial profiling and discrimination.
Gov. Brewer, a defendant in the case, says the law complements federal immigration laws -- not overrides them.
"It is [the Obama administration] that is attempting to impose immigration policies and priorities that contravene and conflict with federal law and unambiguous congressional intent," lawyers for Brewer wrote in court briefs.
At the heart of the debate is the measure known as SB 1070, which would allow police to question and arrest people without a warrant if there is "reasonable suspicion" they are in the country illegally, and to charge verified undocumented residents with "trespassing."
All immigrants, legal and illegal, would have to carry proof of their immigration status and could be arrested if they don't have proper documents, should the law take effect.
It also would become illegal for people to employ illegal immigrants or to transport them anywhere in the state, even if they are family members.
"Arizona impermissibly seeks to regulate immigration by creating an Arizona-specific immigration policy that is expressly designed to rival or supplant that of the federal government," the Justice Department wrote in its brief. "As such, Arizona's immigration policy exceeds a state's role with respect to aliens, interferes with the federal government's balanced administration of the immigration laws, and critically undermines U.S. foreign policy objectives."
Government lawyers have hoped to prevent the law from taking effect on July 29, arguing that the measure will cause "irreparable harm."
Lawyers for Arizona and Gov. Brewer, however, are asking that the case be dismissed and the law cleared to take effect as planned.
"The federal government will suffer no harm if SB 1070 is implemented because the act requires only that Arizona's law enforcement officers act in accordance with their constitutional authority and congressionally established federal policy," Brewer said in a statement. "I am confident that the court will reject President Obama's attempt to prevent our state from protecting its citizens as a result of his failure to enforce federal immigration laws."
The Arizona immigration law, which passed in late April, has attracted international attention and sparked protests around the country. It faces legal challenges in six lawsuits, in addition to the one filed by DOJ.

Russian low-cost start-up Dobrolet has edged toward starting flights with the selection of domestic line maintenance providers.
The operator says Orenair's in-house MRO division will cater to its Boeing 737-800s at Ufa airport.
Line maintenance at Ekaterinburg and Samara airports is to be carried out by UTair-affiliated Ural Aviation Services.
Dobrolet also intends to finalise an agreement with an as-yet-undisclosed Perm-based provider shortly.
The Aeroflot subsidiary has identified these four cities plus St Petersburg as its initial destinations to be served from Moscow.
Its first leased 737 with a single-class cabin layout is due to arrive by May, says a company source.
But he adds that the jury is still out on whether Vnukovo or Domodedovo airport will be chosen as its Moscow base.

This past week and a half I have been overworking myself and have been at a crossing point where I'm not sure what my next move is. One thing I know for certain, I'm doing too much. Another thing I know, I'm still adding on more things to try to balance out my life. I know what I need more of in my life, so I'm making those things happen, but I also know that I need more free time to do nothing, and I'm not making that happen.
One thing I've been good at adding into my life is more of a social life. I have been lacking that for awhile, but for about the past month I have made a successful effort in going out more, doing more fun things and going on more mini-adventures.
This past Friday, I was invited out to dinner & drinks in San Francisco with fellow digital nomads that I've only met online before. Digital nomads are people that use the internet to create location independent businesses so they can live and work anywhere they wish.
Up until Friday, I was sleeping very little and working myself to exhaustion. I would literally fall asleep with the computer in my lap, on the couch, at the table or in my bed. So when the evening came around and I was finishing my work, I was contemplating not going.
I knew that of course I was going to go. It was my chance to meet Cody McKibben in-person. He had been living in Thailand for the past 3 years and doesn't stay in the states long. Cody created the site Thrilling Heroics and created the Digital Nomad Academy, a year long mentorship program that helps people to create location independent businesses. It was also my chance to meet and connect with other people who are already doing what I want to be doing, living full location independent lifestyles.
Before I left, I got berated with warnings: "Be Careful", "You're not a good driver", "Be safe"… Then I started to remember what people have been telling me since I told them about my last San Fran trip I made by myself at night: "Did you hear about that serial rapist?" and I remembered what I've been seeing on the news: murders, beatings and muggings. With all of those thoughts ruminating in my mind, naturally, I started to build this negative mentality towards going out.
As I got into the car, I told those thoughts to shut up. I went out two weeks before to the city by myself. I navigated the public transportation and walked around by myself at night, finding locations I've never been to before and I had a blast. I was completely fine. And two weeks prior the difference was that my thoughts weren't plagued with negativity. I was confident, stress free and happy. So as I was driving down there, I changed my mentality, and I had a blast from the start.
I met Cody, his sister Jamie, her fiance Peter and two of their friends, Tim and Nicole, for dinner. Then we went out to meet up with another digital nomad, Maneesh Sethi, of Hack The System, as well as Sasha, who travels from place to place every few months due to freelancing and a nice some of money he saved before quitting his corporate job and we briefly met with Charlie, a guy who is really good at marketing. Charlie helped Tim Ferriss write, edit and market his book The 4-Hour Body.
The common thread that blew my mind was everybody's age. Maneesh is 24 (my age). Cody is between 26 and 28. Sasha looked really young, around our age, and Charlie is 25. These are people who know how to leverage the internet, their skills and/or their passions to make enough money to allow them to live the lifestyle they want or to flat out make bank, and they're so young. I think a lot of the time people put others who do great things on pedestals, like Cody and the guys I met. But they're just chill, low key, real people who are around my age and the difference between them and the majority of people is that they take action. They take action on what they want. They do what needs to get done. They put their stuff out their in the world. They try. They do. And because they kept on trying and doing, they are where they are right now, being able to travel the world & living the lifestyle they want, while helping others to do the same.
I'm really glad I went out. It was fun to connect with them and inspiring. I'm 24. Why should my age stop me from doing great things, from inspiring others or from living the lifestyle that I want? With the age of the internet, it's creating this wave of entrepreneurship where the younger generations are beginning to dominate and make a big impact on the world. I feel so young, but at the same time I am an adult. We're this new wave of adults, who are still kids at heart, and we're making things happen.
Here's an article that Cody wrote recently, The Top 10 Young Heavyweight Entrepreneurs of 2011. The people in this list come from the 30 Under 30 List, a list of 30 Entrepreneurs under 30 years old who have created businesses that are making a lot of money and that are changing the way we do things. Some of the people on this list created Dropbox (file sharing), Instagram (photo sharing), 99 Designs (a collaborative and cost effective way to get logos, etc.) and Spotify (music).
Going out with them solidified a couple of things for me:
1) I can create anything I set my mind to.
2) My mindset and mentality is the only thing holding me back or pushing me forward.
3) I need to start doing more, putting more things out there, creating products and I need to stress and worry less.
It would have been horrible if I let the negative thoughts of others and myself prevent myself from going out this past Friday night. I would have missed out on a lot.
What things in life are you preventing yourself from doing? Why? What opportunities can you open up to yourself if you start saying "Yes" to life.

If a cut glass vase is an indicator, then her colleagues throughout the state believe Marcia Johnson is a diamond in the rough.
Clerk of Courts since 2004, after extended service as a deputy, Johnson was honored as "Clerk of the Year" earlier this month by the state clerks association, comprising representatives from each of
A crystal vase attesting to the honor was given her by the Florida Court Clerks and Comptrollers Association's conference banquet June 10 at in
"I was certainly honored to receive such statewide recognition, and I am grateful to have the respect and friendship of the other clerks throughout the state," she said, later telling county commissioners she was grateful to have been given the honor by the statewide association (which includes enormous counties with condominium complexes that rival the size of
"You don't usually see that go to a clerk from a small county," said Johnson. "I am appreciative of my staff, the county officials, the county employees and our citizens who support me in my commitment to excellence."
In her statement, Johnson also referred to the political side of her office, one which she secured by a narrow margin in 2004, and then was twice returned to office without opposition.
"I plan to seek re-election in 2016, and in that journey, I strive to make
That status as one of the state's smallest makes
"It's not just
The task of administering the finances and clerical tasks of county government comes from monies funded by about $318,000 annually from the county budget. With experience in the clerk's office, and a hands-on management style, Johnson has over the past decade overseen an office known for efficiency and courtesy, meeting the demands of more extensive reporting requirements and digitizing of clerk functions.
She also has moved between staying away from county issues that are not her province, to not shying away from speaking out on those that directly affect the financial health and policymaking under her direction.
"If they (the county commissioners) ask for my input, I'm always available," she said.
Also, there is the clerk's duty to make sure all the monies owed the county are paid. "That's a challenge," said Johnson. "The big issue for courts through the state is making sure everything's assessed on a case that could be, and that we're striving to collect as much as we collect."
People who are indigent, or who go to prison, are pitfalls to collecting monies assessed by judges, but for those who are able but unwilling to pay, there's the last resort, a collection agency out of
Johnson has schooled herself in these operational issues, chairing since 2009 the association's Best Practice Committee, which develops and implements suggested processes and practices with statewide consistency for use in clerk's daily operations. She also has served on the CiviTek Board of Managers, which oversees the management of various business aspects of the Association programs, and on the Self Help/Pro Se Committee which provides input to promote access to the court for those people without attorneys.
While she has made welcome strides in implementing digital access for court documents, completing the entire task will be in the years ahead, she said.
"It will be happening, I'm not sure when," she said, noting that the Florida Supreme Court recently issued an administrative order about releasing electronic records, although not with a specific mandate.
Johnson should be well-versed in the issue, having served on the CLERICUS Subcommittee which provides support for a clerk's software used in 35 counties, and on the Performance Improvement and Efficiencies Committee for the Clerk of Court Operations Corporation which reviews and recommends performance measure changes and reporting needs for state clerks.
She also serves on the Florida Supreme Court's Advisory Workgroup on Family Law Forms.

Silicon nanoparticles could lead to on-demand hydrogen generation
By Darren Quick - January 23, 2013 4 Pictures
Researchers at the University of Buffalo have created spherical silicon nanoparticles they claim could lead to hydrogen generation on demand becoming a "just add water" affair. When the particles are combined with water, they rapidly form hydrogen and silicic acid, a nontoxic byproduct, in a reaction that requires no light, heat or electricity. In experiments, the hydrogen produced was shown to be relatively pure by successfully being used to power a small fan via a small fuel cell. Read More

16 Movie "In Jokes" You Probably Didn't Notice
Movie making has got to be an absolute blast. There's no other explanation for how pretty much every movie you've ever seen has some kind of weird joke hidden inside it just as an Easter egg for fans, obsessive compulsives, or in some cases, even the film-makers themselves. Below are all examples of actors, stunt-people, writers, and directors all making references to their previous work.

Jeff Bridges in Iron Man/The Big Lebowski«»In the first Iron Man movie, as Pepper Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) is trying to steal some information from Obadiah Stane's (Jeff Bridges) mainframe, there's a brief reference to one of Bridges' earlier films – it's only one frame long, but it clearly says "Lebowski", and lists the origin port as "Long Beach," making it a clear reference to Bridges' career making role in the Coen brothers' The Big Lebowski.
It's an especially funny comparison since Obadiah Stane and Jeff Lebowski are pretty much the polar opposite of each other: The former is a multi-billionaire evil industrialist, the latter is... is uh... is this a... what day is this?

Arnold Bennett's 1909 comedy studies a media mogul striving for public approval
"I've only got one principle," declares Sir Charles Worgan, a British press lord. "Give the public what it wants." Owning more than 40 publications — ranging from scandal sheets to religious journals — Worgan obviously has all sorts of different publics to satisfy.
"What the Public Wants" is Arnold Bennett's 1909 comedy about a media tycoon who seeks more than money and power. He now craves recognition from the dismissive upper class. "I'm just as good as they are, and I don't like their attitude," fumes Worgan, who plots to burnish his public image.
A sly satire on mass journalism and philanthropy, "What the Public Wants" represents yet another vintage piece neatly presented by Mint Theater Company, which specializes in staging long-neglected works. Once a widely known British author, Bennett (1867-1931) is remembered today mainly for his touching novel "The Old Wives' Tale" — if he is remembered at all.
Opening Thursday at the Mint — its snug theater boasts comfortable new seats, incidentally — Bennett's play proves to be a slight though agreeable study of a self-made man in pursuit of respectability.
All the while ruthlessly manipulating his media empire, Worgan donates lavishly to the right causes, sponsors an arty theater company and courts Emily, a genteel widow who helps to achieve his aims. Ultimately Worgan discovers he cannot attain everything he wants, Emily in particular.
Director Matthew Arbour steadily paces the play's four acts upon designer Roger Hanna's handsome set of low arches, brick and opaque glass depicting the mogul's office. Bluff but never rough in style, Rob Breckinridge cuts a dynamic and assured figure as Worgan. In contrast, Ellen Adair portrays Emily mostly with a timid air. Their scene when Worgan vaguely proposes to Emily is a sweetly awkward exchange.
Most showily among the capable eight-member company, Jeremy Lawrence tackles three characters. Boldly applying facial hair and eccentric voices, Lawrence respectively and amusingly portrays a drama critic in a snit over split infinitives, a theater impresario in a high-toned rage and a provincial neighbor with a taste for tabloid scandal.
While Bennett's comedy was a success a century ago and remains gently humorous, its sub-Shavian satire has faded and its mechanics tend to clack like an ancient typewriter. But anybody who enjoys these rarities will appreciate the play's minor pleasures as well as the Mint's solid production. It's a treat to see an obscure play as written, especially so in the wake of David Auburn's ugly renovation of "The New York Idea" over at Atlantic Theater.
"What the Public Wants" continues through March 13 at Mint Theater Company, 311 W. 43rd St., New York. Call (212) 315-0231 or visit www.minttheater.org.

Narrow your search
Concern over "content mills" that can flood the Web with cheap blog posts and videos has led one trade group to suggest that there should be guidelines to keep these companies in check.
Success with SEO, and on the web, must be built on a strong foundation of beliefs. All the traffic in the world to a site won't mean a thing if the site isn't there to help the visitor.
Could search marketing be gained in a kit form for $15? Probably not, but any search geek ought to get a chuckle out of this homemade gift.
