StrawberryLuna studio : a dynamic duo
Post by Jeanine
I've been a long time fan of the super talented design, illustration, and printmaking team known as Strawberry Luna. My art crush on this husband-wife studio might have a little to do with the fact that some of my favorite rock bands are among their impressive client list. And because they hand pull their beautiful silkscreens the super old-fashioned way. Or, because they hail from my hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. But, mostly I just am in love with their distinctive and smart graphic style! Best known for their silkscreen prints and posters, they also work on custom illustration and design projects including CD & vinyl packaging,web-ready icons, t-shirt designs, and logos & identity packages.
Their impressive client list includes Belle and Sebastion, Camera Obscura, Andrew Bird, Feist, Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie and many, many more.
It was hard to choose just a few favorite pieces to share, so be sure to stop by their website and Etsy shop to see more!

Studio Spotlight :: DKNG
By Wendy
DKNG are probably one of my favorite studios out there. They make incredible work, and design geeks like me will spend hours browsing their breakdown videos. Their work is done through a combination of Illustrator, Photoshop and hand drawn techniques. Sometimes they silkscreen. Often they sell limited edition runs of their posters, but you gotta grab 'em quick because they sell out fast.
You can stalk them like I do here: portfolio | vimeo | pinterest | twitter | facebook

In the late sixties to early seventies, NYU film student Jonathan Kaplan was working at the Fillmore East—Bill Graham's live rock and roll venue in the East Village, Manhattan—and doing part-time film editing on the side. It was during this time that he got a call from Roger Corman to direct 1972's Night Call Nurses on the recommendation of one of his professors, Martin Scorsese. Yes, THE Martin Scorsese. The movie was such a hit that Corman had him close out the "Nurses Trilogy" (which started with Stephanie Rothman's The Student Nurses) with The Student Teachers the very next year. He kept it in the family working with Roger's brother Gene on his next film The Slams, a blaxploitation action flick starring the rugged Jim Brown. Continue reading

are achievable. Early progress toward the goal of more integrated, coordinated, and regionalized emergency and trauma care systems became derailed over the last two decades (see Chapter 2). Efforts stalled because of deeply entrenched interests and cultural attitudes, as well as funding cutbacks and practical impediments to change. These obstacles remain today and represent the primary challenges to achieving the committee's vision. However, the problems are becoming more apparent, and this provides a catalyst for change. The committee calls for concerted, cooperative efforts at multiple levels of government and the private sector to finally break through and achieve these goals.
This chapter describes the committee's vision for a 21st-century emergency and trauma care system. This vision rests on the broad goals of improved coordination, expanded regionalization, and increased transparency and accountability, each of which is discussed in turn. The chapter then profiles current approaches of states and local regions that exhibit these features. Finally, the chapter details the committee's recommendation for a federal demonstration program to support additional state and local efforts aimed at attaining the vision of a more coordinated and effective emergency and trauma care system.
Today's emergency and trauma care system suffers from fragmentation along a number of different dimensions. As described in Chapter 2, EMS occupies a space that overlaps three major silos: health care, public health, and public safety. In most cases, these three systems are not aligned, and their means of communicating or coordinating with one another are highly limited. Within health care, there is considerable fragmentation along a number of dimensions relating to EMS. For example, coordination among 9-1-1 dispatch, prehospital EMS, air medical providers, and hospital and trauma centers is often lacking (NHTSA, 1996). EMS personnel arriving at the scene of an incident often do not know what to expect regarding the number of injured or their condition (McGinnis, 2005). They also are frequently unaware of which hospitals are on diversion status and which are ready to receive the type of patient they are transporting. Lack of coordination between EMS and hospitals can result in delays that compromise care. In addition, deployment of air medical services is often not well coordinated. While air medical providers are not permitted to self-dispatch, a lack of coordination at the ground EMS and dispatch level sometimes results in multiple air ambulances arriving at the scene of a crash even when all are not needed. Similarly, police, fire, and EMS personnel and equipment often overcrowd a crash scene because of insufficient coordination regarding the appropriate response.

The present application claims the benefit of, and incorporates by reference, provisional application Serial No. 60/573,661, filed May 21, 2004, and entitled "Server that Exhausts Heat to CRAC Return or Outside the Data Center."
Computer system designs that seek to increase computational power while reducing the size of computer equipment create many challenges with controlling the temperature within these 'dense' computer systems. Increasing the computational power of computer systems often results in the utilization of high power components that generate high levels of heat. Reducing the size of the computer system often involves packaging components in close proximity to each other, therefore restricting airflow through the system. The combination of high power, high heat generating components and compact design is pushing the limits of current air-cooled systems.
Air-cooled systems often utilize an array of fans to move air from the environment, through a computer chassis, and back to the environment. As the air passes through the enclosure it comes in thermal contact with, and absorbs heat from, the heat generating components within the enclosure. The heat transfer rate that can be achieved by an air-cooled system is a function of the volumetric flow rate and static pressure of air that can be moved through the chassis.
The performance of many air-cooled systems is also dependent on the temperature of air available to the system. As the temperature of air drawn into an air-cooled system increases, the amount of heat that the air can absorb decreases, thus decreasing the effectiveness of the cooling system. This is often of particular concern in data centers and other installations where large concentrations of dense computer systems operate.
For a detailed description of exemplary embodiments of the invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings in which:
Certain terms are used throughout the following description and claims to refer to particular system components. As one skilled in the art will appreciate, computer companies may refer to a component by different names. This document does not intend to distinguish between components that differ in name but not function. In the following discussion and in the claims, the terms "including" and "comprising" are used in an open-ended fashion, and thus should be interpreted to mean "including, but not limited to . . . ." Also, the term "couple" or "couples" is intended to mean either an indirect or direct connection. Thus, if a first device couples to a second device, that connection may be through a direct connection, or through an indirect connection via other devices and connections.
In the following discussion and in the claims, the term "thermal communication" is intended to describe a relationship between two things characterized by capability of a transfer of thermal energy. This transfer can be by any of thermal transfer mode and may be direct contact, indirect transfer, or through other components, such as a heat sink.
In the following discussion and in the claims, the term "air director" is intended to describe any structure that directs a flow of air. An air director may be a duct, plenum, wall, channel, guide vane, fin, or any other structure that directs or otherwise influences the flow of air.
The following discussion is directed to various embodiments of the invention. Although one or more of these embodiments may be preferred, the embodiments disclosed should not be interpreted, or otherwise used, as limiting the scope of the disclosure, including the claims. In addition, one skilled in the art will understand that the following description has broad application, and the discussion of any embodiment is meant only to be exemplary of that embodiment, and not intended to intimate that the scope of the disclosure, including the claims, is limited to that embodiment.
Air movers 38 generate a high flow rate, high static pressure airflow through chassis 12 that flows through inlets 18 into the interior of the chassis. Air director 36 divides chassis 12 into three separate flow zones and divides the airflow in separate streams that travel through the zones. Airflow in the first zone passes in thermal communication with interface cards 32 and exits chassis 12 through exhaust ports 24. Airflow in the second zone passes in thermal communication with processors 28 and memory modules 30 before exiting chassis 12 through exhaust port 22. Airflow in the third zone passes in thermal communication with power supplies 34 and exits chassis 12 through exhaust ports 20. Although illustrated with three flow zone, it is understood that chassis 12 may be divided into as many flow zones as are desired to effectively cool the computer system.
As can be seen in
Exhaust plenum 40 provides a fluid conduit from exhaust ports 20, 22, and 24 to air movers 38. Placement of air movers 38 external to chassis 12 removes the positioning of the air mover from the design constraints of computer system 10. An externally mounted air mover also allows easy service access to the air mover as well as opportunity to dampen and isolate the air mover in order to reduce noise generated by the air mover.
Referring now to
Air mover 74 generates a high flow rate, high static pressure airflow through chassis 52 that enters through inlets 58. The airflow travels toward back end 56 passing through first flow area 71 in thermal communication with processors 62, memory modules 64, and interface cards 66. As the airflow reaches back end 56, it is redirected around the end of air director 70 toward front end 54. As the airflow travels through second flow area 73 it passes in thermal communication with power supply 68. The airflow is drawn through outlet 60 and exhaust plenum 72 to air mover 74 that is external to chassis 12.
Referring now to
Air mover 106 generates a high flow rate, high static pressure airflow that draws air into chassis through chassis inlet 88. The airflow passes in thermal communication with the electronic components as it travels toward back end 86. The airflow is drawn into air director inlets 108 at back end 86 and travels toward chassis outlet 90 through conduits 110. The airflow is drawn through chassis outlet 90 and through exhaust plenum 104 by air mover 106 that is external to chassis 82.
By positioning the chassis inlets and outlets on the front of chassis, the back end of the chassis is made freely available for cables and other connections. Because only one side of the chassis is used to support the airflow, restrictions on the placement of the system are minimized. In certain embodiments, the air mover could be disposed within the chassis but the warm exhaust must be controlled to prevent mixing with the air being drawn into the chassis. The flow through the chassis could also be reversed with the air mover providing an airflow to the chassis.
In large data centers and other installations having high concentrations of dense computer systems, providing sufficient cooling for the entire system is a concern. In many installations, the warm exhaust is simply dumped directly back into the room where it mixes with the ambient air. Heavy duty air conditioning systems are utilized to maintain the ambient air at a temperature suitable for cooling. Having an externally mounted air mover provides flexibility in managing the warm exhaust from the air cooling systems.
As shown in
Referring now to
Air movers 192 generate an airflow that is drawn into chassis 166 through inlets 176 and 180. The airflow passes in thermal communication with hard drives 184, power supplies 186, memory modules 188, and processors 190 before moving through outlets 178 and 182. The warm exhaust air moves upward through rack ducts 194 to the top of rack 162. Ducts 194 may further comprise integral air movers or other devices to ensure airflow upward from rack 162. Air movers 192 can also be separate from computer system 164 and disposed external to chassis 166 within rack 162. In certain embodiments, rack 162 may comprise air movers 198 disposed within ducts 194 so as to increase airflow through the ducts.
The placement of outlets 178 and 182 on sides 170 and 174 frees space available on front end 168 and back end 172. This free space allows for increased airflow and more hardware features at front end 168 and back end 172. Racks 160 also allow for denser packed data centers by eliminating the need to separate the inlets on one rack from the outlets of adjacent racks and the resultant hot aisle-cold aisle layout constraints. The placement of air movers 192 also allows for quieter operation because the air movers devices are buried within chassis 166, and can be acoustically isolated and dampened.
The above discussion is meant to be illustrative of the principles and various embodiments of the present invention. Numerous variations and modifications will become apparent to those skilled in the art once the above disclosure is fully appreciated. For example, it is understood that the airflow through a particular system can easily be reversed such that air flows in a direction opposite of the airflow described above. It is intended that the following claims be interpreted to embrace all such variations and modifications.

With over 80 Million people undiagnosed with OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea), it's assumed more physicians would increase OSA screenings and treatment options for symptomatic patients. Interestingly enough, dentists are among the small group of practitioners stepping up, to take on the sleepy killer, OSA. Dental sleep medicine expert, Dr. Michael Hnat lectures for Sleep Group Solutions, and instructs other dentists how to implement a proper sleep protocol, structured around evidence-based knowledge. Dr. Michael Hnat's upcoming Dental Sleep Medicine lectures include Rochester (8/23-24), Cleveland (9/6-7), Irvine (9/20-21), Ft. Lauderdale (10/25-26) and Chicago (12/13-14).
Dentists from around the world are attending dental continuing education courses focusing on the dental treatment of snoring and sleep apnea. Dental sleep medicine education company, Sleep Group Solutions has instructed thousands of dentists on implementing a proper sleep protocol. Dr. Michael Hnat, a dentist in the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania area, screens and treats patients for sleep apnea in his general dentist practice, Progressive Dental Solutions. "Research indicates that ninety-percent of individuals with the disease (OSA) are still undiagnosed. Dentists-qualified in sleep medicine can custom fabricate a simple device worn over the teeth that keeps the tongue from blocking the airway allowing for adequate breathing and oxygen levels while asleep." says Dr. Hnat,

The West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (WKCDA) announced today the appointment of two Hong Kong-born architects to collaborate on the architectural design of the Xiqu (Chinese opera) Centre, one of the landmark cultural venues for the West Kowloon Cultural District, scheduled for commissioning in 2016.
The two lead architects, Bing Thom in Vancouver and Ronald Lu of Hong Kong, have formed a joint venture partnership Bing Thom Architects and Ronald Lu & Partners Company Ltd and will work with the Authority over the next four years to design and deliver a world-class facility for the preservation, development and promotion of this important art form of Chinese cultural heritage in Hong Kong.
The Xiqu Centre will be the first of 17 core arts and cultural venues to be opened within the District. The venue will provide a platform for the Xiqu communities to interact, develop, produce the finest examples of Cantonese and other Chinese opera performances, attract new audiences, educate and collaborate with and host international cultural programs.
Occupying a prime site of 13,800 square metres at the eastern edge of the District on the corner of Canton Road and Austin Road West, the centre will provide a gateway of access to the Cultural District. Early concept designs illustrate that the building will provide a striking entrance, a lantern for the District, employing the Moongate traditional Chinese motif and a dynamic treatment of the facade. Its flow or "qi" is expressed with curvilinear paths and forms. The architecture incorporates a generous amount of public leisure space, in addition to 2,000 square metres of training and education facilities, two superbly designed auditoria for 1,100 and 400 seats (the latter to be developed in phase 2) respectively and a traditional Tea House for performances for audiences up to 280.
Bing Thom and Ronald Lu have a wealth of relevant experience in the design of performing arts and Chinese opera venues including: Ronald Lu & Partners' design for the first purpose-designed Chinese opera facilities in Hong Kong, the Ko Shan Theatre Annex, Hong Kong; Bing Thom Architects' ongoing project of Shijiazhuang Grand Theatre; the Chan Centre for the Performing Arts at UBC, Vancouver, (completed in 1997) and; the Arena Stage Expansion in Washington DC (completed in 2010).
Carrie Lam, Chairman of the WKCDA Board said the Government is firmly committed to providing world-class arts and cultural facilities in the West Kowloon Cultural District, "The West Kowloon Cultural District is one of the world's largest arts and cultural projects which will raise awareness of the rich performing arts scene in Hong Kong both locally and internationally. The positioning of the Xiqu Centre within the district will enable multidisciplinary dialogue and interaction between Xiqu and other performing arts. By building this cultural hub, we are investing both in our future and our heritage, to celebrate Hong Kong's unique cultural identity."
Bing Thom said on behalf of Bing Thom Architects and Ronald Lu & Partners, "The commission for Hong Kong holds a special place in my heart, a true homecoming for me – my first building in my birthplace. It is an honour to return to design a home for this most authentic Chinese performing art, the first building for the West Kowloon Cultural District. The world is fast becoming a blend of Eastern and Western cultures and Hong Kong captures this magic by nurturing and celebrating Xiqu tradition. The Xiqu Centre design is a contemporary expression of a traditional Chinese opera building to show our wonderful art form to the world. The West Kowloon Cultural District gives Hong Kong talent its world stage!"
The design team was picked unanimously by a jury panel made up of prominent leaders in the relevant professional and cultural sectors in Hong Kong, China and internationally: Mr. Cui Kai, Architect, China; Professor Odile Decq, Architect/ Urbanist, France; Mr. Jordi Farrando, Architect, Spain; Mr. Lee Shing See, WKCDA Development Committee member and Chairman of the Steering Committee and Engineer, Hong Kong, China; Mr. Mao Chun Fai, Fredric, Theatre Director, Hong Kong, China; Mr. Pau Shiu Hung, Architect, Hong Kong, China and; Mr. Yuen Siu Fai, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Artists Association of Hong Kong.

Pale Hound
No. 71
Pale Hound appears to be a little green, especially in north facing rooms, if you compare it to the more creamy Ringwold Ground. It is particularly useful in well lit spaces where it appears to be a delicate aged pale yellow, and in garden rooms where its underlying green feel connects it to the exterior. Mid Tones Undercoat.
Pale Hound 8 8
good colour for down stairs shower and loo. I have never used modern emulsion before but coverage did not seem quite as good as estate emulsion. The finished room looked excellent and has been complemented on. Hope it is washable as I do not want to do it again as paint was a little expensive. So only time will tell if paint was cost effective. 27 September 2014
Great paint! F & B never disappoints. Used the casein distemper in our old cottage which matched in well with the estate emulsion. 18 May 2014
Excellent quality paint, but disappointed with final colour We have used Farrow and Ball paint in every room of our house and have always been impressed with the colours and quality. However, we have just used Pale Hound in our kitchen, and are disappointed with the final colour. We tested the colour on the walls and on card - moving it around to different areas of the room, and looking at it in different lights, and thought it was the right choice. Now that the walls are finished the colour looks very green - almost lime green, it only appears as a very pale yellow when in direct, bright sunlight. We will definitely use F&B again, but this colour is not for us - I would describe it as a pale green. We used modern emulsion - the quality and finish is excellent, but the colour... not so much. 06 May 2014
Excellent results Used pale hound in our dark kitchen. Great results, has lightened the room, love the colour. As usual superb coverage. I can always rely on Farrow and Ball for quality paint 02 August 2013
A lovely colour I have this colour on the walls of a large, north facing room with medium light and wide oak planks. It brings the oak to life. This is a lovely, delicate, pale colour with great subtlety and character. It does have a slightly pale avocado look to it but don't be put off by a suggestion of green. My home is period but the paint has actually a contemporary, modern feel to it so I guess it is adaptable to many situations. Very pretty and unusual colour. 16 May 2013
Lovely, lovely colour We have used F&B throughout our home and won't use any other brand. We used Pale Hound in our kitchen /dining room with Hague Blue wood work. It simply looks stunning. Throughout the day as the light changes so does the tone. In the mornings it appears warm pale yellow, changing through to very very pale green in the evening. All the changes are lovely. We recommend modern emulsion for family life!! 05 May 2013
lovely colour Used this in our lounge and it really is beautiful. 08 April 2013
subtle green We used pale hound in full gloss paint as an accent colour, and in our context, a dark hall, it reads more as a pale green than a yellow. It's subtle and lovely. 09 February 2013

So, yeah... you guys should go ahead and do the Spiritual Map mission; the rewards will be... infinite.
So, yeah... you guys should go ahead and do the Spiritual Map mission; the rewards will be... infinite.
Keith conversation made me laugh
'Have you ever known a Keith that wasn't a dick?'
'I don't think I've known one, period... Oh I did know one, possibly the biggest dick I've ever known'
Brad is a stone-cold motherfucker.
Ironic that Brad was talking about missing the mission he was in the process of accepting.
Anyone else think there should be a BJ-VR Endurance Run of some other games? Probably Yakuza 3 or something?
Regardless, what year is this game taking place in? The inflation is insane!!!
What is everyone's problem with this vid? Its not as if they know that there is an infinite smg at the end of the quest and they explicitly say they are going to do the quest next episode. JEEZ!
BR is stupid, but the dialogue between Brad and Ryan is gold. Moar of that, please.
Keith Richards seems like an okay guy. You should try staying out past 1 AM though. Smoke away!
I'm enjoying the comments almost as much as the ER itself. It's funny how many people become so angry when a game is not played optimally.
brad is a dumb mother fucker talking bout mission he missed that he was jsut taking LOOLOLOL and some of ryans and brads comentary going on about that fucking radio was anoyin as fuck.
" @teekomeeko said:" I was literally yelling at the screen. No joke, I had to stop because I thought other people in my house would think I was nuts. I'll still watch BR, but I'll say it right now: Brad and Ryan are the worst gamers I've ever seen in my life. Seriously, they have a teleporting radio so nothing they do will take anywhere near as long, they have over a dozen hours in-game to screw around, Brad knows how nice an item you can get from some quests (like the radio...), and they still don't even try for a single minute not to be terrible at this. Sure this game is bad, but they are doing the ER to entertain us and still just doing their best to half-ass it as if that's what we want them to do. We want to be entertained, guys (not that they will ever read this), this is now officially just frustrating. If they are so desperate to not play Deadly Premonition, then this ER needs to end and Team BR should pick another game. "Just thought I'd quote this because after watching the whole video, it really shows just how fucking stupid this comment is. The whole yelling at the computer screen is already borderline insane. And then he complain about not "screwing around enough" and all they did for the entire episode was screw around. They hit up every location they could with the radio. They even end the episode with saying that they are going to hit up the tunnel mission. I'm not sure exactly how they are half-assing it either. Please just stop watching and stop commenting. "
Bradly Shoemaker, no doing outside research.
I'm not a dick Ryan. :(
That box moving minigame was possibly the most frustrating thing I've ever seen.
Brad you are wrong, his side mission is not gone, it is Map A.
Omg... lol. Rule 1 of any rpd sort of game, side quests get you the awesome shit... when you have to fork over a pile of money to get the quest it's always going to be worth the effort.
I'm with Ryan, every Keith I've ever met was a huge dick...
For the record. My name is Keith and I am a huge dick online but not IRL, I am actually quite nice.
I think it would be pretty fun if they don't do that mission. XD
Maybe Ryan's just trolling us....and Brad.
I know I played too much Deadly Premonition when I begin stating when Galaxy of Terror and Swery 65 open.
Go to Cope's Tunnel! Seriously!
"Sure, lets NOT go get the INFINITE MACHINE GUN.
I love you Brad.
I love how BR and VJ make the same pop culture references when they hit the same scene
Yeah, I really didn't get the "I think we missed the side mission from Keith. oh hey, let's not do this side mission that was just given to us by Keith."
And again, Yeah, Brad is really really... unobservant. Not understanding "Stop and reset boxes" is only one example. A few episodes ago asked in all seriousness, "does this 10mm ammo work with our submachine gun?" The same submachine gun, which is NAMED 10mm sub machine gun.
Whoa, duder!
I just realized this soundtrack is amazing.
Especially at the part with the guy in the white suit
" @TurboMan said:I was bummed about VJ missing the radio. But I'm just sort of peeved at BR for not going to get the infinite weapons."Sure, lets NOT go get the INFINITE MACHINE GUN. "
goddamnit brad
edit: GODDAMNIT BRAD
edit: Infinite machine gun and possible infinite shotgun? NO f-that let's go fishing :(
The comments here are really awful
" goddamnit brad edit: GODDAMNIT BRAD edit: Infinite machine gun and possible infinite shotgun? NO f-that let's go fishing :( "What the hell is wrong with everyone?
" Hilarious. Define irony: They lament about "missing" the infinite SMG quest, and then they pass up the very same infinite SMG quest. Only in the Endurance Run. "It's like watching the end of Dumb and Dumber every day.
I'm just constantly dumbfounded by the fact that both groups have already seen the benefits of doing side missions (radio, improved car, better weapon), yet they still go out of their way to avoid them when possible. It makes the game itself harder to play for them and less enjoyable for us.
Also quite astounded by their map reading skill. Yes, the design sucks and the layout of the town is horrible, but I don't get how they could be lost looking at the same map again and again. These guys give great commentaries, but they just don't seem to have the keen observation skill and that OCD'ness necessary for these adventure/RPG games. I still maintain that GB needs an editor specialized in those genre. If this is an indication of how they play through games of similar ilk, I don't think I can trust their reviews on them.
"some big Fred Flintstone-lookin' motherf*cker"
" @b33 said:" goddamnit brad edit: GODDAMNIT BRAD edit: Infinite machine gun and possible infinite shotgun? NO f-that let's go fishing :( "What the hell is wrong with everyone? Do you REALLY WANT Brad to get the infinite SMG? Then both QL's would turn out identical, that'd be really stupid. I'm sure Brad knew exactly what they were and didn't want to do it for that reason. What you need to do is stop complaining so freaking much and enjoy the ER. "
Wow...just wow.
I was feeling happy for Brad because he was just commenting on missing the machine gun...then they pass it up...all that after they were just talking about how they could be getting some great rewards.
...and then they go back to finish the worthless Polly quest. Come on.
Great, now I gotta shave too. Man, I wish Brad would elaborate of that Keith guy. I hope he talks about it in the Giantbomb book. I would really read it. I've always been interested in biographies and history and i want the skinny on the Bombsquad: Their early lives, their time at Gamespot, their views on the world... Damn! I want to know!
Chapter 14: Keith the dick.
Brad and Ryan's comfortable lead has slipped and the Persona 4 veterans are closing in. I guess they have more Endurance Run experience.

Female Peronist Party
The Female Peronist Party, also known as the Feminist Peronist Party and the Peronist Feminist Party, was the women's wing of the Peronist Justicialist Party of Argentina. It was founded by Eva Perón in the late 1940s. After the Peronist Feminist Party was founded, twice the number of women were allowed to attend university.[1] With the set up of the Peronist Feminist Party, women's centres were set up in poor Argentinian neighbourhoods. These centres provided a wide range of services including medical, legal and social services.[1] At the time of the party's founding, women were largely absent from the political process in Argentina and were not allowed to vote.
In the first elections (in 1951) in which women could run for office, 24 were elected to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies, all Peronists.[1] Also, seven female senators were elected, making Argentina the country with the most women representing the government.[1] Following the death of Eva Perón, Delia Parodi, one of those deputies, led the party until the military coup of 1955.

The Chicago Bulls finalized a deal with shooting guard Marco Belinelli on Tuesday, and they are about to add center Nazr Mohammed as well, ESPNChicago.com reported. Belinelli signed a two-year deal worth $3.8 million, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport. "When the Bulls called me, I was so happy," Belinelli said, according to ESPNChicago.com. "Chicago is a team that maybe can win a championship. "I can play with a star like Derrick Rose. I think this is the best opportunity for me to go out and try to win a championship." The 6-5 Belinelli averaged 11.8 points for the New Orleans Hornets last season. He may fill a shooting void left by the departure of Kyle Korver. "I'm a type of player like him," Belinelli said. "Maybe I can create something more than him. I think he's just a shooter, but I think I can do more than him. I don't know. I'm going to try to do my best."

Significant loss for private pension system as a result of low BVB liquidity level
According to the legislation in effect, private pension fund administrators are bound to place part of their assets in capital market quoted bonds, but "One of the problems the private pension fund is faced with is the chronically low liquidity level of the Bucharest Stock Exchange (BVB) and this, in turn, may create other problems for private pension fund administrators as far as compliance with placement policies is concerned. We are currently working with a specialized agency – the Romanian Pension Funds' Association (APAPR) – toward developing the necessary placement tools to contribute to Romania's economic growth. Otherwise, in about three years money might be leaving the country by way of investments in other areas of Europe," Ion Giurescu, private pension funds vice-president of the Insurance Supervisory Commission (ASF), stated Monday at a specialized event, Mediafax notes.
Administrators can invest up to 50 percent of all assets under their management in securities traded on regulated and monitored markets in Romania, other EU Member States, or Europe.
In addition, up to 10 percent of the overall value of pension fund assets can be placed in bonds or other securities traded on regulated and monitored markets and issued by public local administration authorities from third party countries. Over RON 2 billion of RON 15.45 billion worth of assets has been directly invested in 35 BVB-listed Romanian companies.
Mihai Coca-Cozma, vice-president of APAPR, has explained that private pension funds will have at their disposal EUR 500 million for the following two years to participate in public shares offers and corporate bonds.
Data released by BVB indicates RON 44.79 million was traded daily on average in 2013, compared with RON 29.74 million in 2012.
Pension funds classified under Pillar II received RON 306 million in contributions in May.
Mandatory private pension fund assets (Pillar II) amounted to RON 15.46 billion (EUR 3.47 billion), according to APAPR. From May 2008 to May 2014, Pillar II funds received RON 12.49 billion in contributions through the National Public Pension House and the Sectoral Pension House of the Ministry of National Defence.
By late 2013, Pillar II fund administrators owned RON 249.6 million at Proprietatea Fund, RON 256.6 million at Petrom, RON 258.7 million at Romgaz, RON 200.5 million at Transilvania Bank, and RON 129.8 million at Transgaz.
Furthermore, mandatory private pension funds have purchased significant shares at state companies partially privatized through BVB recently.

Awesome Thermometer with high accuracyA very good thermometer for my son who is 6 years old. As he was suffering from severe fever, this product had a unique feature i.e. 10 second measurement, flexi tip & two years warranty ,water proof, protective case & good look..
Aug 18, 2012
Rossmax TB200 ThermometerThough Rossmax TB200 Thermometer looks beautiful and also giving accurate temp. but it is of very little use to me as it displays readings in *C, whereas in India we are familiar with *F which means every time we measure temp. a calculator is required for conversion from *C to *F.

Not so goodWhen you open the back panel for changing the battery the entire circuit board comes out as this is not the case with other thermometer. Its a very delicate piece and can break while changing the battery.
Sep 29, 2014
Fast but not recommendedI mainly ordered this thermometer for its fast reading. After using it, I can say that the reading comes quite fast (in 10 - 20 seconds) which is great for small kids. But the reading is always less by 1 to 1.5 degree F if compared to other thermometers. So we use this to get general idea and stick to other thermometer for accurate reading!
Jul 9, 2014
Still have to checkI could not get the product to work. I believe the battery sent with the product was already exhausted. It is not great when you open a new product and find it to be not working. Now I have to find a battery to check the product.

This is from Rob Neyer's latest at ESPN.com. Not surprising.If you're a Red Sox fan, you already know this, but if you're not, you might find this of interest: In the last week, Wily Mo Pena's "defense" has plainly cost the Red Sox nine bases. That's a lot. That's as many as you'll ever see. And even if the Boston Herald's Tony Massarotti weren't counting, we know the Red Sox would be. Because one of the things Bill James likes to count is defensive mistakes that do not get counted officially as errors.
I don't think I'm telling tales out of school. Bill has mentioned this in various interviews the last year or two. Anyway, now that the Red Sox are paying attention -- I mean really paying attention -- my guess is Pena's going to set some kind of team record for "clearly identifiable defensive mistakes" (although I think that's an old label that has been replaced by something more manageable). So many they'll realize his hitting doesn't (can't) balance his lousy fielding. At which point, the question for Theo Epstein becomes, "How do I convince some other team that Pena's really not as bad as we all know he is? Because there's not exactly an opening at DH."
Or maybe the Red Sox will simply limit his exposure. Let him start against left-handed pitchers, and yank him from the game as soon as the Sox are ahead by three runs or have a smaller lead in the late innings. But he simply won't be allowed to give away runs as regularly as he has been.
I'd be curious to see similar stats for Dunn defensively this season. Clearly Dunn's offense demands you overlook the defensive lapses a little more easily, but I'd love to know how many "clearly identifiable defensive mistakes" Dunn has made, and how many bases he has cost the Reds.

Photo of Mother, Baby, Deceased Father Goes Viral [PHOTO]
When loved ones pass away, they're still with us in some way. This photo demonstrates that.
When loved ones pass away, they're still with us in some way. This photo demonstrates that.
With friends like mine, this is usually not a problem. I am always happy and proud of them. Especially if it's someone I mentored or helped in some way during my life. But I can relate to this video because some of my family is very "successful".
It's not the first time that we have seen these "privacy statements" posted on Facebook status updates... and just like the last couple of times it made the rounds, it is still worthless.
Thanksgiving is less than a week away and now you can celebrate the special relationships for which you're the most thankful with a cool new video feature from Facebook.
When something exciting or bad happens to us, or we snap a cute pic, or watch a pretty funny video we're pretty quick to post it up on our Facebook wall for our friends to see. We're living in a society where we share a ton of information with our family, friends, acquaintances and sometimes even strangers when we do this. We're not really thinking about some of the potential consequences; we're just thinking, "Hey I wanna share that with my friends online." In reality, we're probably sharing too much information about ourselves.
Apparently this is a 'thing' now? Setting yourself on fire?
Facebook is getting ingrained in our lives more and more. It is taking information from us on a daily basis. What we are getting in return, might be unwanted.
What's a dad to do?
A Lufkin father apparently has had enough of what he considers his daughter's bad decisions and as a result has listed her car on the Deep East Texas Classifieds Facebook Group.
Think the selfie craze couldn't get any, well, crazier? Think again.
Apparently I'm Facebook dumb because I didn't know about any of this...
Your Facebook feed was probably hijacked this week by all those Facebook 'Look Back' movies your friends posted, capturing the highlights of their time on the social networking site in honor of its 10th birthday.

You never know...
I'm a genuine person looking for the same. I consider myself to be a warm, open minded, and down to earth person. I would like to meet someone that I can both be silly with and also have meaningful conversations. I'm not looking for a fantasy or I should say the perfect guy...we all have our quirks and I like everyone else have mine. I would rather be with someone that can laugh at themselves. I grew up in Queens, but I've settled next to the beach. I love hearing the waves at night and looking at the ocean when I open my blinds in the morning. Besides going to the beach some other things I enjoy are going to the movies, seeing live music, comedy clubs, people watching, sleeping in, bbq's, and of course being with my family and friends. I'm not into going out to the bars every weekend, but it is definitely fun every once in a while to let loose and dance with friends. If you want to know more please feel free to contact me.

The rumor-mill known as Deadspin dropped a bombshell of a story when they reported that Notre Dame's Manti Te'o and the inspiring tale of him playing through the death of his cancer-riddled girlfriend was actually a hoax. Not only was the story a hoax, they claim the so-called girlfriend never existed at all. This comes just a couple of weeks after Alabama's thrashing of Notre Dame in the National Championship Game and the real beginning of 2013 NFL Draft speculation. Will this shocking story have an effect on the draft value of Te'o? Prior to Deadspin's mind-blowing story on Wednesday, one of ESPN's draft experts, Mel Kiper Jr. published his first NFL Mock Draft. Kiper doesn't always know what he's talking about, but he's usually pretty close. Kiper had the Notre Dame linebacker with "elite athleticism" and "elite intangibles" going 8th overall to the Buffalo Bills in the upcoming draft. If the report is indeed true, you can't help but think his value will drop a significant amoun

The Ancient Olympics: War Minus the ShootingPaperback

Product description
The word 'athletics' is derived from the Greek verb 'to struggle for a prize'. After reading this book, no one will see the Olympics as a graceful display of Greek beauty again, but as war by other means. Nigel Spivey paints a portrait of the Greek Olympics as they really were - fierce contests between bitter rivals, in which victors won kudos and rewards, and losers faced scorn and even assault. Victory was almost worth dying for, and a number of athletes did just that. Many more resorted to cheating and bribery. Contested always bitterly and often bloodily, the ancient Olympics were not an idealistic celebration of unity, but a clash of military powers in an arena not far removed from the battlefield.

Author information
Nigel Spivey teaches the classics at Cambridge University. He is the author of Understanding Greek Sculpture: Ancient Meanings, Modern Readings, Greek Art, Etruscan Art, and Enduring Creation: Art, Pain, and Fortitude.
Review quote
"A fascinating book, with much to teach, especially for those who only have a hazy knowledge of the ancient Olympics.... Spivey clearly shows how violent and dangerous the games of ancient Olympia were. He brings alive the place, the time and the brutal men who came together to fiercely compete for honor and glory. He also describes how the contestants were chosen and describes each competition, including boxing, the pentathlon and wrestling."--USA Today"Just in time for the Summer Olympics, a fresh new history of the games that begot all of today's quadrennial pomp.... An essential resource: always reliable and instructive, often entertaining."--Kirkus Reviews"A good survey of the Olympics, well informed and concise.... If we had been able to visit Olympia in its classical heyday, he says, we should not have liked it much: 'it must have reeked to high heaven'; it was bloody and noisy; and it 'should not be idealized with too much faded grandeur.' As for the origin of the Games, in his view, that is simple: it is war."--The New York Review of Books"Lively and accessible.... The book is learned without being scholarly, and it is brief enough to finish in time for tonight's broadcast of the opening ceremonies.... Much of the book's fascination lies in seeing faintly recognizable events made strange by a radically different context. It quickly becomes apparent that the similarities between the ancient and the modern games are at best superficial; it is the difference that makes for interest."--The Wall Street Journal"Thoughtful and approachable."--The Boston Globe"A delightful tour through ancient Greece with plenty for the sports-minded, historian, Greek scholar and linguist."--St. Petersburg Times"His writing exhibits the edge British scholars retain when it comes to tempering trenchancy and erudition with grace and wit. For his versatility and balance I would make him winner in the pentathlon. But with his coaching exper

Harang goes ten in his last start, then pulls up with a bad back in the first inning of tonight's game. Just a coincidence?
Did it affect his back tonight??? We'll see...it just may have. But...don't act all bent out of shape just based on him going 10 innings.
And HokieRed...if you questioned the pitchcount/innings pitched on here before Harang left tonight, your position on this has a lot more value. (I don't know if you did or not) I'd prefer to think you aren't MMQB'ing.
Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball - Jacques Barzun
Arroyo threw 123 pitches Friday night. Harang 121 the 10 inning night. Where's the outrage about Arroyo Friday night.
Overworked in general??? Arguments can be made, no doubt. But an argument solely on 10 innings in one game is a weak argument.
He will miss his next scheduled start; the injury could be worse than we think.
This concerns me too. One wonders if maybe he tweaked something in his arm trying to compensate for the back; and that is the cause of taking the entire week off.
My question is if they knew about this during warm ups why did they even send him out to start?
The effect was that the Reds had two "starting" pitchers having to struggle through their 1st inning and both getting tagged. Gosling pitched fair after he gave up the 3 run dinger. If he would have come out and gotten tagged (without them already being -2) as a starter then the rest of his performance might have allowed them to get back into the game. As it was they are down 5 and the game is basically over before the middle of the 2nd inning.
Also maybe if they had shut Harang down in the bullpen, he could have received treatment and been ready to come back today. It is not like they haven't (justifiably) passsed over or pushed back Belisle previously.
He could have back trouble because hes not the fittest of guys. Id actually say that combined with a the course of a season can break you down a little. Lower back stiffness can just be annoying and then just go away over a night of sleep.
I think it was absolutely stupid to have our best pitcher throw for 10 innings in a meaningless game. Whether his back problem is related to that or not the fact of the matter is the season is over for the Reds. Why overwork any of our pitchers to have a chance to win a meaningless game? Not good managing if you ask me.
The number of innings will not hurt you; the amount of pitches you throw will have an effect on a pitcher.
I think Harang will be fine
its good that...
1.he took himself right out of the game which is good.None of that
macho I can handle the pain coach let me stay in.
2.Reds are just being cautious with the missed start,cause we might
just commit hara-kiri if anything happened to him.

I'm having trouble viewing the site, but "60 Minutes Overtime" is showing an interview tonight with Archbishop Timothy Dolan of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.
The press release says Dolan discusses on his views on gay marriage, celibacy and the ordination of women. For instance:
"I have a strong desire to play shortstop for the Yankees. But I don't have a right to because I don't have what it takes. And that's what the Church would say about marriage."

Bryan College was founded in 1982. Its mission is to meet the growing demands of students who need career training that allowed them to enter into job markets where career growth potential existed.
"We want students to receive training in a field they can actually get a job in after graduation. A field that will let them develop a lifelong career and support a family," said Brian Stewart, Bryan University President/CEO.
In August 2012, Bryan College changed its name to Bryan University to coincide with the decision to expand the number of programs available, including offering a new Master's Degree in Business Administration online. Bryan University also added programs at the Associate's and Bachelor's levels and has plans to serve international students.
The decision to expand is part of the organization's strategic plan, but Stewart is quick to point out that it does not detract from its commitment to students who want to pursue their education in a small school atmosphere.
In addition to Springfield, Bryan University has campuses in Columbia, MO, Topeka, KS, and Rogers, AR, as well as online programs. Bryan University provides program opportunities for people interested in the following areas of study:
· Business
· Information Technology
· Allied Health
· Criminal Justice
· Health and Wellness
To learn more about the open house event at Bryan University in Springfield or any of the online programs, contact Scott Haar at (417) 862-5700.
