New York, NY—June 26, 2014
The privately funded training center will occupy 70,000 square feet on the eighth floor and rooftop of a historic waterfront warehouse in Industry City situated on 39th Street in the Sunset Park neighborhood. Located one subway stop from Barclays Center, the facility will boast world-class amenities, which will include two full basketball courts, a weight room, a training pool and two hydro pools, a rooftop entertainment space, an 18-seat multimedia theater, 3,000 square feet of hospitality/playersĺ lounge space, and a media interview/workroom. The exterior design, consisting of dark metal, brick, and a wide expanse of glass, is set against the interior finishes which combine an industrial vibe with softer natural materials like recycled wood and tiles, to create a harmonious spa-like environment. The result is an overall design which celebrates Brooklynĺs gritty manufacturing history while reflecting its eco-friendly mentality.
ôI am thrilled to see the Nets complete their move to Brooklyn by building their state of the art practice and training facility in Sunset Park and creating over 200 jobs in the process,ö said Mayor Bill de Blasio. ôAnd I applaud them for ensuring the local community also has a home in this facility Ś with job fairs for Sunset Park residents, community events for young people, and investments in the neighborhood's quality of life.ö
ôWe are thrilled to have the HSS Training Center become the new Nets' practice facility,ö said Irina Pavlova, President of Onexim Sports and Entertainment. ôWith its proximity to Barclays Center and the vibrant Sunset Park neighborhood, Industry City is the perfect location for it. Now, our arena, training center and offices will all be together in this great borough. The teamĺs ownership is committed to making the Brooklyn Nets a championship caliber team, and a best in class team deserves a best in class training center.ö
As part of the naming rights entitlements, HSS will receive branding on the interior and exterior of the facility and the Nets practice jerseys will feature the HSS logo. The hospital will also have the opportunity to host experiential events for patients and physicians at the facility, which will include participation from Brooklyn Nets players, coaches, and strength and conditioning staff. Dr. Riley J. Williams, III, a sports medicine surgeon at HSS, has served as the teamĺs Medical Director since the 2005-06 season and will continue to serve in that function, while also expanding his role to include Head Orthopedic Surgeon with the Brooklyn Nets.
HSS is also building on its nine-year relationship with the team by becoming the Official Hospital of the Brooklyn Nets beginning with the 2014-15 NBA season. As the official hospital, HSS will receive signage, player appearances, integration into a grassroots community marketing activation, and specialized content on BrooklynNets.com.
ôAs the nationĺs leading orthopedic hospital, HSS is deeply rooted in the growth and development of New York City,ö said Louis A. Shapiro, President and CEO of HSS. ôWe have grown with the Nets from East Rutherford, to Newark, and finally to Brooklyn. We are thrilled to be a part of this landmark project by putting our name to HSS Training Center, while continuing to provide Nets players with the best in musculoskeletal care.ö
ôOur partnership with HSS is an ideal fit,ö said Brett Yormark, CEO of the Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center. ôWe bring together two recognized brands defined by performance, community commitment, and global reach. HSS Training Center will be serving world-class athletes, while also making a difference in the borough as we utilize the facility to mentor and inspire young Brooklynites.ö
ôIn Brooklyn, weĺre Ĺnothing but Netsĺ! Itĺs a Ĺslam dunkĺ to bring every member of our home team, including its entire staff, into our home borough,ö said Eric L. Adams, Brooklyn Borough President. ôIndustry City and the greater Sunset Park community will benefit from a strong partnership with the Nets, and all Brooklynites will benefit from the boost in local employment and economic activity associated with the new practice and training center.ö
ôI am proud to welcome the Nets to Industry City and our Sunset Park neighborhood,ö said Councilman Carlos Menchaca, who represents Sunset Park. ôI look forward to working closely with the Nets to support our ongoing community work, from economic development to environmental justice to youth programming. I am committed to building a strong partnership with the team that fully integrates them in our vibrant community, which is home to hardworking immigrant families, community based organizations and industrial businesses.ö
ôThe new HSS Training Center highlights the importance of sports medicine and performance training working seamlessly and collaboratively in the approach to player care,ö said Dr. Williams. ôNBA basketball is a physically challenging sport that is played over many months. A close knit relationship between the team and its medical personnel is vital to injury prevention, effective treatment and ultimately the professional athleteĺs return to play.ö
ôAs a former player and patient at HSS, and now a coach, I know the hospital provides an unmatched level of expertise and care,ö said Jason Kidd, Head Coach of the Brooklyn Nets. ôHSS Training Center will give us a competitive edge, providing a state-of-the-art facility for our players to get ready and be at their best.ö
ôIn repositioning this relic of the industrial age into a home for a wide range of emerging and modern businesses, Industry City is becoming one of New Yorkĺs most dynamic properties,ö said Glen Siegel, founder of Belvedere Capital, co-owner of Industry City. ôThe Netsĺ investment here, and deepened commitment to the borough, will have a citywide impact for many years to come.ö
In addition to serving as the training ground for the Brooklyn Nets, the facility will host youth basketball clinics, community events, and local business development functions. The team will also expand its role in the neighborhood by offering a job shadow program, internships, and Barclays Center job fairs for Sunset Park residents.
Construction on HSS Training Center will create between 150-200 union jobs and will begin in 2014. MANICA is the design architect and New York City firm Mancini Duffy is the architect of record.
Cushman & Wakefield, led by Bruce Mosler and Glenn Markman, served as a key advisor to the Nets on the leasing transaction.

I'm sorry, but it's op-eds like this that make me think nothing has changed in the minds of Tunisians since the revolution. This sounds like someone dreaming of a great fatherly leader/dictator who does good things for the people. The "Supreme Warrior" built the dictatorship that Ben Ali filled. Not a word here about the police state that Bourguiba created or the persecution of his political opponents. Not a word about how even though independence from France was secured on paper, in reality the colonial dependency relationship remains intact even today. Habib Bourguiba gave his famous Jericho speech on March 3, 1965– not in 1967 when Gamel Abdel Nasser– not Anwar Sadat was President of Egypt. Anwar Sadat shook hands with Menachim Begin, not Yizhak Rabin at the signing of the Camp David accords in 1978. Yitzhak Rabin shook hands with Yassir Arafat on the White House lawn in 1993.
Reflecting on Bourguiba, 13 Years after his Death
By Op-ed Contributor | Apr 9 2013Bourguiba ,independence ,Personal Status Code ,second-featured ,second-main-featured
Tunisia gained its independence in 1956, largely thanks to the efforts of former President Habib Bourguiba, who died 13 years ago this past Saturday. His fight against French domination earned him the nickname Supreme Warrior of the nation.
Hailed as the savior of the country, he became the first president of the new Republic of Tunisia in 1957. The North African country had been a French protectorate since 1881. For many years Bourguiba had fought for independence and the creation of a Tunisian parliament that would enable him to rid Tunisia of the Bey, the last representative of the Ottoman Empire.
Social welfare
Bourguiba, who became the focus of a modest personality cult, was so popular that Tunisians dared not contradict him or criticize his actions. In 1956, while he was only Prime Minister, he passed the Personal Status Code, which granted Tunisian women progressive rights concerning marriage, divorce, and education. It was something of a revolution in the Arab world that a Muslim leader dare challenge Sharia (Islamic code inspired by the holy Koran). This law attributed to the national hero was in fact initiated by a group of scholars starting in 1952, while Bourguiba was under arrest in the prisons of France.
Pro-western reforms
Bourguiba was never a religious man and he set aside religious considerations to focus on the economic reality of the poor in Tunisia. The country had never been a rich land with large reservoirs of oil such as Algeria and Libya. Bourguiba knew that a large population would be a handicap for the economy. He made birth control available, legalized abortion and, with the help of the United Nations Development Program, made family planning methods widely accessible. Such reforms made him more popular in the West but less accepted in the Arab world. In 1956, the populations of both Tunisia and Syria were under three million; but by 2011, Syria had three times as many inhabitants as Tunisia.
During the first years of his presidency, Bourguiba prioritized education, allowing all Tunisian children to go to school, even in poor, rural areas. The largest component of the state budget was dedicated to education and youth development. Child labor was prohibited and education was free of charge and compulsory until the age of 16. This was part of what Bourguiba called the second fight. For him, the eradication of poverty was as important as the struggle against French domination. In order to achieve social development, he believed one must start with the education of the population as a whole.
Economy at stake
Unfortunately, the Supreme Warrior was never able to navigate a safe economic policy. He relied during the 1960s on the experience of Ahmed Ben Salah, a Soviet Union-oriented minister whose collectivization initiative resulted in total economic failure. Prime Minister Hedi Nouira managed to stabilize the economy by introducing a law in 1972 that allows foreign investors to come to Tunisia in order to profit from its low labor costs and its close proximity to major European ports. Nouira took care of the economy, leaving Bourguiba to entertain his favorite pastimes, like giving long speeches about his glorious achievements.
Social uproar
In 1974, students and political activists began to mobilize, criticizing Bourguiba's behavior and seemingly extravagant attitude. In order to silence dissent, Nouira passed a law allowing Bourguiba to serve as president for life. Even Bourguiba's own son was not pleased with this law, which precipitated the decline of the Supreme Warrior.
The beginning of the end
In 1981, Bourguiba had to accept the reality of the country's first political opposition party. Meanwhile, new Prime Minister Mohamed Mzali, a former teacher of philosophy, was never able to reinvigorate the economy. He was removed from his post in 1986 and his successor, Rachid Sfar, also struggled in the position. Bourguiba was compelled to rely on Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali who, on November 7, 1987, forced the removal of the aging president, claiming he was medically incapable of carrying out his duties.
Bourguiba died on April 6, 2000 but had actually not been an active leader since 1969. He left a great mark on Tunisia and was a force in the region. In 1967, he was the only Arab president who dared speak to the Palestinians in Jericho about a peaceful settlement with Israel. His famous speech must have left quite an impression on Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who finally agreed to shake hands with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin after many years of fighting.
This article was written by Ali Ben Mabrouk, a former English teacher and journalist at Le Quotidien. The post reflects the opinions of the author and not those of Tunisia Live as a publication.
dear reader,
I have never thought that Bourguiba was an angel but I have tried to sum up his good actions. Thanks to Bourguiba you and I are today having the opportunity to carry on this correspondance in English. Can you tell me about other Arab leaders who paid so much attention to education. Most of them were only worried about their Swiss bank account. Bourguiba didn't even have a Tunisian one.
Many thanks for the exact names and dates, at my age it's not easy for me to be so accurate.
it is good to be reminded…..whether people liked him or not whether he had terror gangs in place or not. He never made the mistake of allowing religion to mix with politics which is a big problem in Tunisia now. That policy allowed Tunisia to stay among the most current, modern, forward looking Arab countries in the world. This status has however always caused a problem for the Saudi's for instance who have always sought to change Tunisia. Bourguiba died a peniless man. What other Arab leader has been that committed to the people, process or improvement
what? Bourguiba never allowed religion to mix with politics? He used religion and distorted it to fit his views.
In normal times, and if Tunisians were allowed to discuss religious views and hence come up with agreements, there is absolutely no issues with mixing religion and politics.
It is not because France has an extremist anti religion government that we have to do the same.
Bourguiba's politics were never anti-religious. Islam has been still defined as a religion of the state in Tunisia and its identity as Arabo-Islamic. However, he was a modernist and secularist and this is only good. Secularism is one of basic stones of democracy, whether you like it or not. As I said before, Tunisians should be happy that they had a pragmatic secular leader, and not somebody like Gaddafi, Assad, Gamal Abdelnasser, Saud clan or some Ikhwani Islamic regime with "undistorted" and raw religious views.
It is great that Bourguiba cared so much about education, but the leaders of the former USSR also cared a lot about education. Where did all the most brilliant minds from the former USSR go? To places like the United States where the economy and society fosters INNOVATION through providing the people with FREEDOM. If smart young guys educated in the USSR didn't move to the USA you would not have companies like Google and probably you would never have found Tunisia Live on the net without Google. Bourguiba created a Tunisia where all the creative and innovative Tunisians left for France, the UK, USA etc. because he took away political freedom which goes hand in hand with economic freedom… Tunisia still today is so far from being a place that keeps and retains the best minds and brings the best people to help develop the economy. It will remain that way as long as people are looking for a strong but good leader rather than building institutions that foster a freer press, police reform, an open government, the de-marginalization of particular regions, the decentralization of political power and so many other things that I am sure you know are important for the country.
I am afraid that you fail to take into account the fact that authoritarianism in Tunisia was not some Bourguiba's invention. Do you seriously believe that Tunisia before the French occupation was a democratic country? Do you believe that Tunisia would have become a democratic country, if not for Bourguiba and his regime? Why you simply don't look at other Arab countries and don't ask yourself why they all became authoritarian regimes after the independence? The thing is that there was no real democratic tradition in the region. There was a large traditional uneducated mostly illiterate highly religious population, rigidly patriarchal society where women had status of second class citizens, blurred distinction between religion, law and politics and a tradition of strong autocratic leaders. Tunisia had the luck of having a pragmatic secular leader as Bourguiba and not somebody like Gaddafi, the Assad clan etc. The comparison with a genocidal anti-religious regime like the USSR is absurd. If anything, Bourguiba is comparable with Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who was also an autocratic leader (you could call him dictator), who prioritized educational, social and legal reforms at the expense of "freedom". Just one example: do you believe that Tunisians would have agreed to improve the status of women in the 50's in a referendum? Well, I have my doubts about that. Blaming Bourguiba for deficiencies of modern Bourguiba is pointless.
"… for deficiencies of modern Tunisia is pointless".
High five to ben mabrouk l certain that 90% of the tunisian are gratefull to president bourguiba in what he achieved for all young tunisian as far as education health and women right with no wealth resources or good economy left by the french. All tunisians love him and most of their childrens now benefit whit what was bild in the first. Shame on ben ali who spoiled the good work that has been done. Bourguiba died and left nothing to his family he did nit have even a house to himself.
A great dictator!
If one attempts to reflect upon the personality cult of the late "President for life : Habib Bourguibaâ€, then one must go beyond enumerating his past achievements for the country, or rather for his own "region†and his Destour Party people.
First of all one should take look into the events that led to the Independence of Tunisia in the fifties to be able to understand what kind of person Bourguiba was. He was absolutely not the only combatant that drove the French out of our beloved Tunisia. On the contrary he was cunning enough to (mis)use both his own people and the French authorities to help get rid of his best struggle buddies such as Salah Ben Yousef and many more freedom fighters. Do ordinary Tunisians know that after the disappearance of Saleh Ben Yousef in 1956, Habib Bourguiba's Destour party on his own instigation had formed several militia's which were aimed at abducting, terrorising, torturing and assassinating Tunisian nationalists who openly supported the Ben Yousef Movement? These Bourguibist militias had actually detention camps all over the country. For instance in Tunis they run the so called _Sabbat thlam or "The dark shoe "detention centre nearby the Kasbah and which was managed by a certain Hasan Al Ayadi , the "Beni Khalled†detention camp, headed by "Omar Chachiaâ€, and, the detention camp of the NCLP itself situated in the building of the Party at the Kasbah and supervised by "Hassine Bouzayeneâ€, last but not least the detention camp of "Souk Al-irbi'aâ€, headed by "Mahjoub Ben Aliâ€. Yes, these terror gangs tightened the blockade round people of all walks of life. They went on the rampage persecuting innocent citizens in different parts of Tunisia, moreover, the French army and gendarmes joined in to help the Bourguibist gangs liquidate the supporters of Ben Yousef Nationalist Movement, which did not accept to negotiate with the colonial forces and would be satisfied only by full independence for our country.
These acts of repression, arrests and humiliation had continued openly in cafes, alley ways, markets in the city of Tunis and in different towns and villages of the country only because "The Greatest Warriorâ€, as he had charged everyone to call him. The man was self-cantered and power hungry as he gained power at the expense of some of his best comrades in arms such the late Farhat Hached whose assassination by the French "Red Hand†remains an unsolved mystery to all of us. Whereas the "Greatest Warrior†had the late salah ben Yousef gunned down on Friday, August 11, 1961 in Frankfurt, Germany. This political crime has never been sorted out until now whilst so many Bourguiba sycophants are still misleading our fellow countrymen into hero worship without any scruples. It's a bloody page in the history of our country that ought to be clarified and in history books well documented so that young generations may know who were the real freedom fighters that had liberated our Tunisia from beside the much publicized great dictator President for life Bourguiba. The 55 year old Bourguiba-Ben Ali regime which prides itself in alienating, liquidating some of its finest opponents only because the "one-and only combatant†and his pupil dictator turned out to be autocratic leaders that coveted absolute power and therefore wanted to become the everlasting President of the country. It's unbelievable that some well educated Tunisians refuse to understand that the old regime of Bourguiba and his right hand Ben Ali was politically corrupt, economically disastrous , socially divisive, culturally schizophrenic, and morally unacceptable. It is imperative that Tunisian historians must review their writings of contemporary history of Tunisia in order to correct their lapses with regards to the great contributions of many more genuine activists and politicians(not only H. Bourguiba!) that laid down the basis for the First Republic of Tunisia after a bitter struggle against the dark forces of oppression for a better life for all citizens of beloved Tunisia. This is another side of the late President for life or the greatest dictator of the first Republic of our beloved Tunisia.
I think that a quick look at other Arab countries is enough to realize that authoritarianism and harsh methods of dealing with political opponents was not some Bourguiba's special trait or invention, but a logical development. Authoritarianism has deep roots in Arab societies, including Tunisia. Do you think that the beys were democrats? Or that there would have been a democracy and prosperity in Tunisia after the independence, if not for Bourguiba? Sorry, but that's an extremely naive point of view. Tunisians should be happy that they had a pragmatic ruler whose priorities were education, social development and neutrality on international scene and not somebody like Gaddafi, the Assad clan, Gamal Abdelnasser etc. Also from economical point of view, the rule of Bourguiba or Ben Ali was hardly "disastrous" and I challenge you to show that without them it would be better. As for corruption and nepotism, again, it exists in all Arab countries, it has nothing to do with Bourguiba's personality. And culturally "schisophrenic" is just a codeword for "secularist" and "francophile".
I understand this is an op-ed that reflects the personal opinion of the author, but come on!!! One has to be a bit less biased. This article could have been a piece written during Bourguiba's ruling period as a propaganda tool or a PR campaign.
"Bourguiba, who became the focus of a modest personality cult"…Really! a modest personality cult?
Us who lived some years while Bourguiba was president remember the folk poets he use to invite to flatter him live on TV and radio…a silly spectacle of medieval royal courts.
Bourguiba had a made himself a giant personality cult, and it wasn't his fault totally. There is a breed among Tunisians that specialize in kissing-ass and flattering…
more than a decade after Bourguiba's death, that breed is still around!
Thanks Ali for reminding everyone that Bourguiba was a true visionary who was responsible for the first Personal Status Code in the Arab/Muslim world that gave nearly equal rights to women; free & compulsory education for boys & girls until age 16; the creation of the first Office of the Family & Population that has played an incredibly important roles helping Tunisians plan their families & thus keep population growth controlled; affordable, or even free, health care for all citizens & to recognizing that the Palestinians should negotiate peace with Israel – an act that might have resulted in a viable 2 state solution with a much larger & stronger Palestine than may ultimately be possible 50 years later. I am indeed very proud to have been a "child" of both Bourguiba & John F. Kennedy, even though both did indeed also have serious personal flaws. Peace Corps Volunteer in Haffouz, Bizerte & Gabes 1962-64
I remember what people were saying during the 80s. They were fed up with the old man, wishing he would die, hoping for a coup and lamenting a class of party members that were in the business of ass kissing.
On November 7th 1987, and on hearing the morning news, people had tears in their eyes, they were reinvigorated and hopeful, they thanked God and went to work doubling their effort.
During the 80s, part of my youth, was marked by strikes, state of siege, hundreds of dead on the hands of the military.
This is a guy who died penniless because he thought he owned Tunisia, that he didn't need to have a saving account because he owned the central bank. His nephews and nieces enriched themselves and they enjoy his past cronyism to this day (the Ben Ammar clan).
What he accomplished is not better than what other Arab countries accomplished in education, science, infrastructure etc. He paternalized Tunisians and dictated rules than no Tunisian discussed.
He eliminated most of his opponents. He asked the military to kill Tunisians. And finally He created Ben Ali.
What I have just sited are not just personal flaws, these are crimes that weighed on us, here , in Tunisia, for 6 generations even after his death.
On another level, and since you sited Kennedy, a president with a cult like following among US democrats, and since you are born in the early 40s, you must have done some Nam time I guess? Unless you dodged it. But in any case, Kennedy is the one that "quagmired" a generation of Americans producing half a million of injured and 55 thousands of dead. Countless of homeless and an economic downturn. Surely he seemed charismatic, was handsome, his wife was beautiful and he had few cute sentences here and there….
but his acts speak for him.
If you were born around the beginning of the 40s..I'd pick up FDR as a role model.
To end on a good note, thanks for the time you spent (part of the P.C.) in Tunisia. I am sure it helped some. I guess Kennedy's impact was better on Tunisians :).
What Bourguiba achieved was not better than what other Arab regimes did? Well, and his pro-women politics are nothing? I suppose that they are if you were an Islamist and everything should be according to the Sharia for you. Why you simply don't make an honest comparison with other Arab countries to see the difference? Libya, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Algeria, Sudan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia … Given that authoritarianism, disrespect for human rights, patriarchy, nepotism and blurred distinction between religion and politics are characteristic for Arab countries, you should be thankful for having had Bourguiba. I guess that you are an Islamist with a deep rooted hatred for secularism.
Bourguiba was the real father of the Tunisian revolution making the most modern country in the area with envy of the Saudis nad Quataris who never advanced, and trying to make us go backward. I did not recognize some of the Tunisians with beards and dressed up like saudis they look like in a "HOlloween costumes" WAKE up young Tunisians… and let us go forward not backward, "itha ouribat khouribat" do not forget what Bourguiba said.
"…Anwar Sadat, who finally agreed to shake hands with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin …"
It is not Rabin…Menahim Begin actually.
Bourguiba said after the independance you have to wait for real democracy, when the population is more educated, otherwise it will be chaos. uneducated people like the Saudis and Qataris do not know how to handle democracy, actually Israel is a the only democratic country in the middle east.

Policing Non-Citizens
By Leanne Weber

Series: Routledge Studies in Criminal Justice, Borders and Citizenship
Routledge – 2013 – 222 pages
Series: Routledge Studies in Criminal Justice, Borders and Citizenship
Criminologists are increasingly turning their attention to the many points of intersection between immigration and crime control. This book discusses the detection of unlawful non-citizens as a distinct form of policing which is impacting on a growing range of agencies and sections of society. It constitutes an important contribution not only to the literature on policing but also to the field of border control studies within criminology. Drawing on the work of Clifford Shearing, Ian Loader and P.A.J. Waddington, it offers new theoretical approaches to the study of police powers and practice.
"Policing Non-Citizens makes a landmark contribution to the study of crimmigration law. Leanne Weber masterfully connects ground-breaking empirical findings to the kind of theoretical and policy arguments about policing and migration that provide genuine guidance for contemporary governance. The book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the connections between policing, borders, and citizenship in our globalizing world."
Juliet Stumpf, Professor of Law, Lewis & Clark Law School, Portland, Oregon, USA.
"Leanne Weber offers a meticulous analysis and integrative examination of how nodal governance and third party policing is used to police non-citizens. Her research exposes a wide range of street-level manifestations of state power under complex and dynamic conditions of global mobility in the 21st century. Policing Non-Citizens is, therefore, essential reading for scholars, practitioners and policy makers who want to better understand and respond to the global crisis that compromises a secure belonging for all."
Lorraine Mazerolle is a Research Professor in the Institute for Social Science Research (ISSR) at the University of Queensland, Australia.
"In this study Leanne Weber vigorously investigates the role of the police and other agencies in identifying unlawful non- citizens in Australia against the backdrop of key theoretical debates on borders and belonging. In a unique and timely way, this book bridges the divide between policing literature and migration studies."
Joanne van der Leun, Professor of Criminology, Leiden Law School, the Netherlands.
"Weber's case study of immigration enforcement in New South Wales, set in rich analytical context, describes a system transformed by neoliberalism and the growing capacities of information sharing. Australia has abandoned the visibly cruel 'attrition through enforcement' model in favor of a more insidious networking of social agencies to remove people 'out of place' with enforcement through attrition."
Professor Doris Marie Provine, School of Social Transformation, Arizona State University, USA.
"Leanne Weber's book should prompt policy-makers to ask whether the axiom ''we are only safe and secure when all are safe and secure'' still applies in this country. It is, therefore, an important and timely tome."
Willem de Lint, Flinders University, Lorraine Mazerolle, University of Queensland and Rick Sarre, University of South Australia, Australian & New Zealand Journal of Criminology, Vol. 48.

• Mars ISRU demonstrations. Through Mars robotic missions, NASA should explore the potential for utilizing near-surface ice deposits. Likewise, robotic exploration missions to Mars should include capabilities, such as drills and surface geophysical sensors that can determine the amounts of ice and its accessibility to possible future human explorers. Demonstrating the feasibility of propellant production on Mars at an early stage in exploration can influence the later stages of robotic exploration. For example, robotic sample return missions could be made more effective if martian propellants were available.
• Sample return missions to carbonaceous near-Earth asteroids to define their potential for resource extraction and utilization. Prior to such missions, it is important to understand both the composition of the resources and the physical environment in which they exist.
Summary of Enabling Science and Technologies for Space
Resource Extraction, Processing, and Utilization
The following exploration technologies that are important to space resource extraction, processing, and utilization would benefit from near-term R&D.
2020 and Beyond: Required
Lunar Oxygen Extraction System. A lunar oxygen extraction system would replenish life support system consumables and would be a critical first step in local resource utilization for larger-scale uses, such as a propellant production facility. Key supporting technologies should be developed to support an oxygen production system, including technologies to enable excavation, fluid handling, cryogenic transfer, and zero-boiloff cryogenic storage. Research will be required to develop techniques to mitigate environmental challenges (dust, repeated transfers to and from vacuum). A lunar oxygen extraction system will require an integrated research program to develop needed technologies, test them in lunar analog facilities (vacuum, field analog facilities), and conduct robotic demonstration missions to the Moon, potentially as piggy-back experiments on science exploration missions. (T24)
ISRU Capability Planning. Exploration missions should be conducted to the polar regions of the Moon and to Mars to delineate the resources that can be available at potential landing sites in order to properly plan ISRU capability development. The distribution and accessibility of water or hydrogen near the lunar poles and the delineation of ice on Mars as potential resources are important ISRU objectives and should be coordinated with scientific exploration missions to these targets. Water extraction from the lunar polar regolith will require fundamental research on physical properties and flow processes of the water-bearing material at cryogenic temperature. In addition, exploration for resources and development and demonstration of ISRU technology should be incorporated, as feasible, in relevant robotic missions. Two examples are (1) a Mars sample return mission that includes demonstration of the extraction of propellant from the martian atmosphere, and (2) robotic exploration missions to characterize near-Earth asteroids and return samples that would demonstrate their potential resource value. Finally, expansion of technical capabilities such as improved power production and storage and development of in-space propellant depots will improve the potential for utilizing off-Earth resources. Fundamental research is needed to provide a sound basis for how grain size, shape, and composition affect the transfer of cryogenic granular materials into continuous-process systems in reduced gravity and pressurized reactors. The uniqueness of the materials being processed and their low pressure, reduced gravity, and other special conditions will require new predictive physical models. (T25)
Planetary Surface Construction
This section covers the principal technologies and sciences necessary to plan, develop, deploy, construct, and maintain habitats, rovers, and other engineering systems related to construction on the surface of the Moon or Mars. Surface construction is a challenging task, given the harsh and isolated nature of the lunar and Mars environments, with their great temperature differentials, reduced gravity, partial or no atmospheric pressure, high

Where most saloon car ranges begin with a modest 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel to co-opt the fleet-car-buying vote, the smallest engine in the new Lexus GS range is a 2.5-litre petrol V6 with 207bhp. Which actually isn't that modest. Or diesel.
The facts: 0-62mph in 8.6secs, 207g/km, a combined average of 31.7mpg and a starting price of £36k. Which sounds middle-of-the- road, until you clock the BMW 525d SE (218bhp, 7.0 to 62mph, 126g/km, 56.5mpg and £35k), and the numbers just look mean.
Admittedly, this GS is better to drive than the old version by some distance, and if you do a lot of schlepping on A-roads and M-ways, this is a fine car: comfy, long-legged, quiet and full of quality kit in a much-improved and pleasant interior. However, go faster, and the 6spd auto is hesitant, the steering vague and the mpg heads south like a dropped rock.
Lexus staunchly refuses to go down the diesel route, and the GS isn't a bad car - but in the face of competition from cars that are demonstrably better to drive, you'll have to be very anti-BMW Five (or Mercedes E250CDI, for that matter) to give it serious thought.
Tom Ford
The numbers
2499cc, 207bhp, 181lb ft, 31.7mpg, 207g/km CO2, 0-62mph in 8.6secs, 143mph, 1730kg
The verdict
Not a bad car by any means, but out-pointed by fast, frugal diesels from the German manufacturers

Instead of loading specific CSS files, I would go for adding a specific class to the
<html> tag:
<html class="w_800">
You could also do that.
The benefit here is that you're not sending down any CSS that isn't absolutely needed. To attempt to load faster on mobile. With what you're proposing, you'd send down CSS for all possible scenarios, and then scope it via class-based descendent selectors.
I think this would work nicely. I'd like to see server-side CSS merging & compression lend a hand, were this a living site. Where the JS builds a call for a CSS assets, it could get back a single reply. Perhaps something like
getMergedMediaFriendlyCSS.js?480,800,homepage where
400 &
800 would be media-query wrapped CSS and
homepage could be page-specific rules? Of course, caching would be weird. But it could alleviate the need to watch for a resize event.
I suppose the decision-maker is how much CSS lives within each media-query block. If it's just a few lines, that's negligible. If it's a bunch of stuff targeting a specific device group—like major header/footer changes—that's where this makes sense.
Tiff: Yeah, that'd be cool. I was thinking the site-wide styles: typography, colors, branding, etc. could live in a minified / concatenated file, and then the conditionally loaded CSS would be a minified grid / layout only.
For the recently redesigned Today.com, we had a similar mix of sitewide & grid-based CSS though ultimately some business decisions came down that gutted our best media-query-based ideas (ads, of course). What we ended up with is a backup media-query solution, where modern browsers get the media-query-wrapped ruleset but <=IE8 gets an extra copy via conditional comments. Same rules twice, which sucks given the number of rules. (<=IE8 also gets an IE-hack CSS file that's large anyway, so the pain was already present.)
I wish media-queries had an optional pass-through for browsers that don't understand them.
Tiff: Me too. I was surprised to find that all the CSS files on this page get downloaded, even by modern browsers...
Here's another thought: What about inserting the
media attribute conditions on the
link tags via JS? Doesn't solve the downloaded-resource issue but it would add fall-back behavior for older browsers?
Tiff: I'm not sure I follow. Could you make a gist so I can better understand what you mean?
Okay, built and tested my version: https://gist.github.com/907079
Or http://www.beermestrength.com/media_query_test.html (try it in a modern browser & IE8, for comparison)
The goal was to add media-query logic after older browsers download the CSS assets. This dosen't make a lot of sense for your Grid example, but could if the media-query logic was an additive effect.
Tiff: I was thinking of something like this...
Then the JS could parse all the values off its own
Gotcha. I usually hesitate to have anything watching document resize/scroll events. Hence trying out my little model, since media-queries serve that purpose. But that has little to do with your solution, more me exploring whether browsers observe JS-inserted media attributes. Which they do, so that's cool (and I have some clean-up to do).
I like the implications of your
data-* attributes on that script tag. I wonder if something like this would work, given those args:
<script src="assets/js-adapt.js" data-path="assets/css/" data-range="{"480":"480.css","480-960":"800.css","960-1280":"960.css","1280-1600":"1280.css","1600":"1280.css"}"></script> or another JS object structure to collect the ranges.
Good call. Less attribute retrieval, and can immediately be turned into a JS object. Think on this further, I will. #Yoda
May I suggest using
document.head when it's available? It's as simple as changing line 43 into:
(d.head || d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]).appendChild(css);
Typo: the example in the comment on line 9 should read
id="ADAPT_CSS" instead of
Changing line 43, as you suggested, would cause it not to work in browsers that understand document.head. A browser that understands document.head would never evaluate past the "or" conditional "||".
d.head || d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(css);
Instead, it would need to be...
d.head ? d.head.appendChild(css) : d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(css);
But that's extra code, when I'm only ever referencing
<head> once. I agree that making a shortcut to it, as that article suggests, is a good idea if you're going to be using that convention repeatedly throughout your code. But for this one-liner, I don't think it really matters, because I would still have to add the lengthy selector for old browsers. By doing it only via getElementsByTagName, it works everywhere, and is less code overall.
Sorry, I made a mistake in my last comment. I've edited it now, but here is the proper solution again:
(d.head || d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0]).appendChild(css);
And yeah, it's like 10 more bytes, but IMHO the speed gain in modern browsers is worth it.
I thought I would note that I made this its own project:
I'll leave this gist here for posterity, but won't be updating it any more.

Steve, I was going to scorch you severely, but there's no point really.
If you really think that the decades of research by qualified, independent scientists on anthropogenic climate change is based on guesses, then you are clearly an ideologue, and not capable of even mild scientific enquiry or critical thinking.
Your point about iron ore in WA is a non-sequitur. Layers of iron-rich material are part of Earth's core – the surface ore that we mine pretty much covers the earth, even on the ocean floor. It's just that when the earth was forming 4.5 billion years ago, the eruptions of expanding iron-rich material just happened to find its way close to the surface in the part of Pangaea which eventually became Australia. It has NOTHING to do with climate change at all.

Incorporating the critical perspectives, emphasis on diversity, and pointed suggestions for change that made the previous editions into bestsellers, Ben Carniol pulls together today?s most pertinent research, critical analysis, and practice examples and presents them in this accessible and useful sixth edition of Case Critical.
In the context of the current economic and political climate, this new edition discusses First Nations issues, the increasing corporatization of service, and the explicit link between social work practice and social movements. Carniol questions illegitimate privilege created by colonialism, racism, patriarchal capitalism, heterosexism, ableism and ageism; posing many key questions. Such as, why, as social work education develops progressive approaches, are so many social services deteriorating? How can social workers become allies with diverse groups of people? And, why do progressives persist in their work?
Carniol, a long-time social work educator and social justice activist, offers his own analysis of social work in Canada today in this provocative and ultimately hopeful sixth edition.

The traditional occupations of this Scheduled Caste were carrying carcasses and working as village servants. They used to remind the Lingayat Bania about the full moon and new moon days of the month, so that the latter could perform the necessary rites to Lord Shiva. More recently, they are engaged as wage labourers in agricultural operations and some are employed in government service. Some of their deities are Durgamma, Mariyamma, Hanumantha, Yellamma and Huligamma. They accept water and cooked food from all communities except the Madar and Dhor. The 1981 census shows their literacy rate as 22%.
Ministry Obstacles
The low literacy rate will be an obstacle if the good news of Christ comes to this community only in written form.
Outreach Ideas
Much prayer is needed to prepare hearts to understand and receive the Gospel message. Teams of workers relating and explaining stories from scripture can partially overcome the low literacy rate.
Pray for the Followers of Christ
There are a few followers of Jesus Christ within this community, and they need our prayers. Pray they will consistently clothe themselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience, and will represent Christ well.
Pray for the Entire People Group
Pray this low caste community will be able to increasingly educate their children, find improved employment situations, and see their standard of living rise in years ahead.

Australian Government Wants to Calm 'Fear' of Carbon Tax Plan
July 24 (Bloomberg) -- Australia's government will try to calm public "fear" that its plan to tax companies for carbon pollution will raise costs for households, as Prime Minister Julia Gillard's popularity slumps to an all-time low.
"We will methodically go around explaining this to people," Climate Change Minister Greg Combet said in an interview on Channel 10 television today. "When we have the opportunity to go through the facts with people, the fear starts to drop away very quickly."
Australia expects to raise about A$27.8 billion ($30.2 billion) in three years by making polluters pay an initial charge of A$23 per ton of carbon dioxide from July 2012, increasing the price by 2.5 percent a year, plus inflation until the tax gives way to a cap-and-trade system in 2015. Gillard announced the carbon proposal on July 10.
While the Labor government has secured support for the tax from Greens and independent lawmakers, whom Gillard relies on for a majority in parliament, 53 percent of Australians in a July 18 Nielson poll said they would be worse off under carbon pricing.
"The government is going to stick to its guns," Combet said. "We will continue to explain this to people, in particular that the price impacts are modest, and to meet that there are tax cuts and increases in pensions and other benefits that mean nine out of 10 households receive some assistance."
Support for the Labor government fell one percentage point to 26 percent, a record low, according to the Nielson poll. The government last week started a A$25 million advertising campaign on television networks to promote the plan.
Carbon Permits
Under the plan, the government will provide A$9.2 billion in the form of free carbon permits over three years to assist the biggest-polluting businesses.
The tax may cut profits and jobs, threatening some mines with closure in the world's largest coal exporter. Newcrest Mining Ltd., Australia's biggest gold producer, said July 21 the levy will cut net profit after tax by 1 percent to 3 percent during the first three years of operation.
Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. said last month the plan would have an impact on the company's growth and jobs. Qantas Airways Ltd., Australia's largest airline, said it will raise air fares. The Australian Coal Association said overseas buyers of coal may switch to other nations and force the closure of mines at home.
Coal mining companies in Australia will be required to pay for fugitive emissions -- gas emitted naturally from coal operations -- while receiving A$1.3 billion in compensation, with the biggest polluters getting assistance over six years. Other so-called trade-exposed industries such as steel producers will also receive assistance.
"This is a difficult political environment at the moment but this is a critical reform for the future of the country and future generations," Combet said. "We have to play our part internationally in tackling climate change."
Treasurer Wayne Swan has said Australia's low unemployment, record trade and a strong investment pipeline made the introduction of a carbon tax feasible in the face of global economic uncertainty.

I also think that sometimes people are bothered by the perception that digital photographs are so easily altered, and that they can be made a fool of, where with old cameras they some how trust the results, as I said, it is a perception, but whatever, for me using old cute cameras,( their idea not mine) means the photographs will somehow look better than modern cameras,
Richard, does Joe public really think like this? If you point a lens at them from whatever camera, I doubt if they are evaluating its OK with an old camera, but not with digital.
The contemplation of things as they are, without error or confusion, without substitution or imposture, is in itself a nobler thing than a whole harvest of invention

Hooking iPods to PCs
Mobile By Nov. 20, 2001 7:00 am
Wired reports that a small company is working to connect Apple's iPod MP3 player to the PC through an inexpensive software package called XPOD. Mediafour indicates that it will be available soon as a beta, and all that is needed is an iPod, Windows computer (95 to XP), and a FireWire port. According to a salesperson, the iPods are selling well compared to other MP3 products, whereas other outlets say that sales are iffy. Whatever the success, the software may help improve sales since it works with non-Macs.

Looks so good! you dont have to explain urself btw ther are some people who have bad atitudes so just keep it comin
The mod you are trying to view has ceased development and consequently been archived. If you are a member of this mod, can demonstrate that it is being actively developed and will be able to keep this profile up to date with the latest news, images, videos and downloads, please contact us with all details and we will consider its re-activation.
Almost a decade after its release, Blood 2 will be resurrected as an all new game. It's receiving a major face lift, and been completely retextured and extensively modified. The game code will be extensively worked on, and new weapons and enemies will be featured, all in a style that is more closely related to the original Blood. All new levels will also enhance the brand new storyline created for this modification. Much work has already been completed on this massive effort to repair and improve Blood 2 and there's plenty of new and exciting features still yet to come.
For those who like short, action packed videos, I present an official Resurrection trailer...
Posted by kurtfuhr on Nov 27th, 2008
It seems that some people don't care for witnessing lengthy atmospheric and experimental videos. The previous video that was posted here was never meant to be any kind of trailer for this project. But I thought there might be some interest in viewing it, and comments are always appreciated.
So for those with little time or short attention spans, I now offer an official Resurrection trailer. It's short, fast paced, action packed, and uses a modified sci-fi horror theme for its presentation.
Hopefully this kind of video is more of the type of thing that people want to see. It'll probably be the last video I release for awhile as well, because there's simply too many other things for me to do.
Blood 2 needs a lot of work, and its resurrection is ongoing...
Looks so good! you dont have to explain urself btw ther are some people who have bad atitudes so just keep it comin
haaaha-haaaha, butt hurt-butt hurt.
on a more serious note: looks sweet, just like the good old doom quake and unreal days, might as well dig those up and play while waiting. you just dont get that stupid kill satisfaction from todays ragdoll murders.
not to sound like a complete *******, but you should pay more attention to the overall tempo/piece proportions of the video.
I think it looks awesome! :D Keep it up! :D
Yeah, I love every Blood game. I have lots of great memories about it
Pretty cool!
I still play the original game sometimes, mod is awesome.

1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Q&A
1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Question: I have a 98 dodge ram 1500 2wd manual trans and accelerates super slow.
If stopped, I have to ease on the gas, almost to catch the acceleration, but it does eventually speed up, just really slowly. The rest of the gears are a bit better, but there is just no power to accelerate much at all. If I push the gas to the floor it revs up high, just like it's supposed to in that gear, but just won't power the truck along with it. If starting on an incline, I find myself muttering prayers under my breath that it will make it up the hill and not just die out along the way. The gears all change fine, no problems with the clutch changing them, and I've had it over 100km on the highway, but it took awhile to get up there! I know the throttle cable needs replacing, but in what order would u suggest I try fixing what, first? Also, I have no reverse lights when I shift into reverse, thought I'd throw that one in as well? - Exhausted n cranky

Lovely Serial Number 2 1891 Seward $50 Treasury NoteFr. 376 $50 1891 Treasury Note PCGS Apparent Choice About New 58.
"Most collectors have never seen, let alone had the opportunity to own, a Seward Treasury Note in any grade. Only twenty-one examples of this one-number type are known to exist, and of those, five are permanently impounded in museum or government hands. Of the sixteen remaining notes, a number have been off the market for decades. This beautiful note would clearly be a highly desirable piece with even an ordinary serial number, but it is one of the five single digit examples known: B2. Serial number 1 is in the ANA Museum, this note last sold in Lyn Knight's March 2001 Sale for $198,000, and serial numbers 3 and 8 are both in the Smithsonian Institution, and the serial number 7 note sold at auction in 1998 for $170,500. This gorgeous example has all its original bright ink colors, and attractive, untoned paper. This spectacular piece of currency clearly belongs in the very finest of collections, and it will likely find a home there this evening at a number in excess of..." That was our 2005 description the last time we sold this magnificent note. It now resides in a PCGS Choice About New 58 Apparent holder for "minor edge restorations" which we are utterly unable to find. Last time out in 2005 this note realized $299,000. Since that time the serial number 7 note has sold for $546,000. What this note brings tonight will be decided by the bidders, but we are quite sure we will see a number in excess of...
