Protecting olive oil from counterfeitersApril 24, 2014 1:50 pm | by Barbara Vonarburg, ETH Zurich | News | Comments
Counterfeit or adulterated olive oil has been a persistent presence on the market, in part because the oil is difficult to track. An invisible label, developed by researchers in Switzerland, could perform this task. The tag consists of tiny magnetic DNA particles encapsulated in a silica casing and mixed with the oil. Just a few grams of the new substance are enough to tag the entire olive oil production of Italy.

Food-tech startups aim to replace eggs and chickenDecember 9, 2013 1:35 pm | by Terence Chea, Associated Press | News | Comments
Funded by prominent Silicon Valley investors and Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Hampton Creek Foods seeks to disrupt a global egg industry that backers say wastes energy, pollutes the environment, causes disease outbreaks and confines chickens to tiny spaces. The company, which just started selling a mayonnaise made without eggs, is part of a new generation of so-called food-tech ventures that aim to change the way we eat.
Additive may make wine fine for a longer timeNovember 21, 2013 12:52 pm | by Matthew Swayne, Penn State Univ. | News | Comments
Oxygen usually enters wine through the cork and interacts with metals, particularly iron, setting off a chain reaction that changes compounds that add often disagreeable tastes and smells to the drink. Penn State Univ. researchers have added chelation compounds that bind with metals to inhibit oxidation, or oxygen's ability to react with trace metals. These compounds, they found, were effective.
Device speeds concentration step in food-pathogen detectionOctober 14, 2013 1:39 pm | by Emil Venere, Purdue Univ. | News | Comments
Researchers have developed a system that concentrates foodborne salmonella and other pathogens faster than conventional methods by using hollow thread-like fibers that filter out the cells. The machine, called a continuous cell concentration device, could make it possible to routinely analyze food or water samples to screen for pathogens within a single work shift at food processing plants.

Platinum nanoparticles may keep fruit fresh longerMay 13, 2013 8:16 am | News | Comments
Ripening fruit, vegetables, and flowers release ethylene, which works as a plant hormone. Ethylene accelerates ripening, so other unripened fruit also begins to ripen—fruit and vegetables quickly spoil and flowers wilt. researchers in Japan have now introduced a new catalytic system for the fast and complete degradation of ethylene. This could keep the air in warehouses ethylene-free, keeping perishable products fresh longer.
An electronic nose can tell pears and apples apartMay 8, 2013 12:13 pm | News | Comments

Beer will help power Alaska breweryFebruary 4, 2013 9:12 am | by Joshua Berlinger, Associated Press | News | Comments
The Alaskan Brewing Co. is going green, but instead of looking to solar and wind energy, it has turned to a very familiar source: beer. The Juneau-based beer maker has installed a unique boiler system in order to cut its fuel costs. It purchased a $1.8 million furnace that burns the company's spent grain—the waste accumulated from the brewing process—into steam which powers the majority of the brewery's operations.

What does a yogurt look like over time? The food industry will soon be able to answer this question using a new fluid simulation tool developed by scientists at the University of Copenhagen, Denmark, as part of a broad partnership with other research institutions. The method distinguishes itself significantly from known simulation methods which use mesh structures where the vertices are locked in a fixed position. In the new method, the mesh structure is replaced by a dynamic structure where the vertices move one at a time.

My Favourite Games of All Time

I may one day write down WHY these are my favourite games, but not today.
ED: I think I'll start filling these out. At least one at a time... maybe.
There is something almost immeasurable when it comes to my love for Persona 4, let alone the Golden edition. It captures a sense of fun and friendship that reminds me of some of the best years of my life. The joy I felt when getting to know the characters and world, learning to care for them and protecting them in this game is only matched by the fact that I have re-experienced it 5-6 times, and can continue to do so in the future.
Although the graphics are dated, the music, acting and writing have an everlasting quality that assures this game the top spot in my heart for years to come. Unless Atlus forges pure magic with P5.
Previously this spot was given to Persona 4, but Golden is a better version in every way so it supplants the position entirely. Plus, it'd be redundant to have Persona 4 as my #1 AND #2 (however accurate that may be).
The Last of Us didn't rocket to this position the moment I finished it, nor the day after, nor the day after that. Instead, what this game "is" took quite a while to sink in.
I honestly believe that not only does TLoU hit at the same level as greats such as Metal Gear Solid or (for others) Ocarina of Time in terms of well-designed gameplay, but - perhaps more importantly - I believe this game creates an argument for the medium of gaming on a universal level. It competes favourably with movies such as Requiem for a Dream and books like Crime and Punishment in terms of the quality and delivery of its storytelling, and is in my opinion the first game to ever do so.
Most profoundly, the story of The Last of Us could only be delivered to such a degree in a videogame - you just couldn't get to know the characters and world as deeply in any other way. From the magical soundtrack to the rumble of the controller when Joel fights for his life or being able to simply stand on a ledge and look at wildlife, TLoU utilises the medium to demonstrate that games can come to life in a way that nothing else can. However, although one could argue that games have done all of that before, the true innovation lies in how those factors resonate with the structure and delivery of TLoU's story. Instead of pursuing tried and true aspects of gaming such as fun, or wonderment, or discovery such as a similarly great Bioshock / Bioshock: Infinite, it forges a new path. It makes an argument for "compelling" being just as valid as "fun", it makes an argument for ambiguity over direct wish-fulfilment-fantasy and subtly over pomp and circumstance. It sets a standard that no other game has matched, but perhaps more importantly, it forges a path for other games to follow in. Sadly, to say any more would spoil the fun of discovering it for yourself.
The best element of The Last of Us taking second spot on my favourites list is that I fully expect it to be dethroned – but the game which will dethrone it shall be built upon its shoulders, and could possibly only be green lit because of TLoU's success. To me, it is the game which defines how far gaming has moved in the 7th/3rd generation – and yes, I'm pulling out that fearful acronym, "GOTG".

I was in the market for a good prime lens but didn't want to spend too much for my first one so I decided to go with this one. At first, I was skeptical as it was cheap, not a AF-S lens, material seems light and cheap, and didn't seem very durable. It wasn't till I started using it and realized its potential. This is a great lens. Shoots very crisp images with a nice blur effect in the background which helps bring your attention to the subject of the picture. It helps bring out the atmosphere of the subject matter in your photos without losing much of the image and color. It's a great lens during events, especially in a low-light environment and also a great lens for portraits and landscape. With a wide range of F-stops from 1.8 to 22, you have a wide variety of aperture to choose from to adapt to your surroundings. I now mostly use this lens for events and portraits. The only con I have with this lens is that it's a AF lens and is not compatible with the new D3100/D5100, as well as the D3000 and D5000. I wouldn't recommend this to beginners who are using these new bodies since you have to manually focus your images. I use it on my D3100 and it takes several shots for you to get the focus right. It's also quite noisy when it auto-focuses on a compatible body such as the D90/D7000 and up. I would recommend the new 50mm 1.8G Lens for beginners since that is a AF-S lens and is very quiet when focusing. It's also compatible with all Nikon DSLRs. Other than those cons, this is a great lens for beginners and professionals alike. I would highly recommend you to pick this up since it's quite affordable and takes excellent pictures. All of my sample pictures were taken with a D3100 body.

This is a good general purpose lens. The optical quality is good, if not better than Nikon's f/1.4 models. The bokeh is a little hash for some pictorial work. It is usable on a DX camera for waist up portraits, but the distortion becomes unpleasant for typical portraits. Beware the plastic filter threads - this is a major disappointment and will slow you down because of the care needed to change filters.

Cheap fast prime lens, manual focus
By Roger
from Harrison, Me
Comments about Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f1.8D Lens:
This lens is a steal for the money . I use it with my Nikon D3200 it only works in manual focus but it's F/1.8 aperture is great for low light conditions. I have used this lens to photograph stars, landscapes and people, a nice prime lens takes better pics than the kit lens that comes with the camera.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Wonderful prime lens
By Nukepr
from Citrus County, FL, USA
I love this lens. I use it on my d7100 and the results have been excellent. It is great in low light, very sharp, focuses quickly, and gives great crispness and color fidelity. At the price, this may be the best bargain in camera lenses, period. I highly recommend this lens for any camera with a focus motor in the camera (7000 series or higher).
Great lens for the price
By ntnboy85
from San Jose, CA, USA
Been using this lens for about 8 years now. I personally didn't really like the 50mm range on the DX, but loved it on my FX. I really like the color this lens brings out, and the bokeh it produces. The only thing I find a bit annoying about this lens is the noise of the focusing when set to AF.
"Hot spot" aberrations at apertures lower than f/11 - please, please, do not purchase this lens. Research it first.
By LowellJensen
from Undisclosed
When a customer purchases a lens from Nikon, it is generally assumed that the product will meet the highest standards of quality and dependability. This is why I was so surprised to discover a "purple spot", or "pale blue dot" visible at lower apertures on the AF Nikkor 50 mm 1.8 D. After a great deal of trial and error, trouble shooting, and wasted money cleaning the thing, I learned, to the best of my knowledge, the purple spot is presumably caused by light bouncing off the sensor, back on the rear element lens, and back on the sensor (no, this is not glare, it is not a lens flare, or dirty lens- you can literally detect this problem from a brand new lens, fresh out of the box at a camera store). This design flaw renders the lens functionally useless at apertures lower than F11. Simply search "pale purple dot, AF Nikkor 50mm 1.8D" on the internet to see what I mean. Nikon should recall the product with the intent on discovering if this aberration represents a manufacturing error in a limited batch of AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D lenses or a larger problem, and then they should fix it. When I contacted Nikon about this, they were very respectful, but have not recognized or admitted to this common problem (to my knowledge). If you are even considering purchasing this lens, try it before you buy it.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Superb value for a very capable lens.
By HumblePhotog
from Atlanta, GA
I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of images I consistently get from this little lens. For the price, there isn't much to complain about. No, it's not the sharpest lens in the world when shooting it wide open - nor will it produce the best bokeh at that range - but stopped down to f/2.8-4, you'll really see it shine. It will still perform well if you need to shoot it at f/1.8, but don't expect miracles from it. That said, you can't beat the clarity and quality you're getting for the price. If you have a camera body with built-in AF, this lens is a no brainer.
Poor Focus Ring!
By UserHg
from India
This lens comes with a "deadly rough focus ring". Every time I try to focus on the subject, it keeps overshooting the focus point on either side. I've a standard kit lens i.e. 18-55mm VR kit but it has a really smooth focus ring. Then I have a friend who has Canon 600D. He possesses a 50mm f/1.8 which has a INCREDIBLY SMOOTH FOCUS RING! Please Nikon! If it's a defect in my lens, please replace it or please improve your quality regarding this lens. I don't expect such a mistake from you! THIS LENS IS AWESOME OTHERWISE! Thank you!
Amazing image quality at an affordable price!
By ClassicDigital
I bought this lens for my Nikon D7000. I'm getting more into video so I needed a lens with an aperture control ring. With bodies like the D7000 and higher you can take advantage of the aperture control ring when using AF-D lenses. You have to enable this function in the D7000's menu. Its custom function f6. When enabled the aperture ring will allow you to change the aperture in live view and while recording video, which is a HUGE plus for videographers. I also have the 24mm 2.8D which is another great AF-D lens. Both of these lenses are all I really need for video. As for image quality well its sharp! very sharp. Its actually better then I was expecting. Its a little soft wide open which is to be expected. However stopped down a bit and this lens will deliver amazing detail and color. Its built quality is just as good as other D lenses. Its made of plastic but it doesn't feel cheap. It feels solid in the hand, plus its focus ring is nice and smooth with a little bit of resistance. As for auto focusing on my D7000 its fast to find focus. Its not loud like other people complain about. I mean yeah it makes noise but its not annoying. Over all I'd buy this lens again and again. I really hope Nikon keeps all of their AF-D lenses in production for a long time. They are small and compact plus they are affordable.
Amazing addition to the AW1 with FT1 adaptor !
By LeTone
from Montreal, QC, Canada
This prime lens turned my AW1 into a beast. Sharpness, wonderfull low light caption and control over focusing via the manual focus ring. You just set and lock aperture at 22 on the aperture ring and the AW1 controls aperture via the FT1 mount. The focus only works on manual though, but it's no big problem. The lens is still amazing and fun to use. Maybe an upcomming firmware update might add autofocus ability ? Who knows. This is still the best bang for the buck i've had !

About Me Photo Enthusiast
Comments about Nikon AF NIKKOR 50mm f1.8D Camera Lens:
Between this and my 35mm f/1.8G, these are my everyday lenses on my DX D3000. You can find this lens cheaper at other retailers but I had a gift certificate to use and an Abt agent was able to price match. Shipped immediately and the quality was exceptional. Would buy again.
Best kept secret
By Fraucha
If you honestly think you have to spend a boat load of money on a 50mm you are sadly mislead. I have used this lens on my D800 for the last 15 months. So, before you bash D800 users for using this lens, keep in mind that this glass is so sharp it will make you weep. Exactly what a D800(e) needs. Exceedingly light, fast focus, dead on sharp. This is a great walk around lens and honestly after spending money on the holy trinity and a few other lenses "pros" tell you you must have....I keep this on almost always. For the price you can not go wrong, you will be more than pleased with it's performance. Get it, you won't be sorry. The only other 50 I like is the 50mm f1.2 AI-s, but this 1.8 is just so much more fun.

Costumed characters brought it all to life. Plan to go back during their Deep Valley Homecoming June 26-30, 2015. There are supposed to be many things going on around the town during that time.
Friends who used to live in Mankato enjoyed the guided tour and stories of bringing the Tacy and Betsy homes back to life.
I loved the Betsy Tacy books as a girl and love them still. What a delight to see the houses where the real Betsy and Tacy lived. I am so thankful they have been preserved and maintained for all to see and enjoy.
It is actually 2 houses across the street from each other. They have a variety of activities scheduled throughout the year, depending on the season. Staff is knowledgeable and their gift shop has some interesting items. i would recommend reading at least one of the "Betsy and Tacy" books before visiting or the tour won't make much sense.
A must for fans of Children's Literature- especially Maud Hart Lovelace. The Betsy-Tacy Society has done such a lovely job of restoring the childhood homes of Maud Hart Lovelace and her best friend (who lived across the street). In addition to tours of the houses, they plan a variety of special events throughout the year.
Grab a map and walk around the story life of the Betsy & Tacy book series. Minnesota has many famous authors but the preservation on this site is noteworthy.
The fictional characters of Maud Hart Lovelace come to life here with two homes. Betsy's house is a museum featuring the lifestyle of how the Hart family lived more than 100 years ago. It includes Thomas Hart's rocking chair and footstool, a corner cupboard and drop leaf table. Across the street is Tacy's House with artifacts from the Hart Lovelace...

They say the house always wins.
Not so when Buxom's new $59 Lip Gloss Roulette Set is sitting at your table. You can take a chance with any of its 15 miniature plumping glosses and win! — because every one of them leaves lips looking super shiny and, yes, slightly fuller.
Most of the time I can't tell a difference when I wear plumping glosses. I just don't see the plump, but I really do see a little something when I wear these glosses.
It's not epic. I mean, no one is gonna be mistaking my lips for Angelina Jolie's today, but I do see something there, a slightly plumper pout, unless I'm hallucinating…which is entirely possible in my current state.
Have I mentioned that I'm completely exhausted?
We're talking hella tired — so tired that you will probably read some extremely confusing and/or strange phrases in this review (and for that, I apologize).
That's because I spent most of last night totally and completely freaked out, all because I watched a very scary movie right before bed (side note: you might want to stay far, FAR away from The Taking of Deborah Logan, unless you enjoy being traumatized).
If it wasn't for the minty tingle from these Buxom plumping glosses, gurrrrl, my head would be using this keyboard as a pillow right now, and there would be a tiny puddle of drool between the letters G and H.
Thank goodness for these glosses. They tickle… It's not a sting. They don't hurt or anything, but I definitely feel something. It's enough to make me sit up in my chair.

The Neferset tribe is a faction of Tol'vir that decided to side with Deathwing in exchange for retaining their stone bodies, lost due to the effect of the Curse of Flesh. They maintain a strong presence within the Lost City of the Tol'vir, as well as several more regions of Uldum and even Skywall.
The word Neferset appears to come from Earth's classic Egyptian language and means "Beauty of Set" (Set being the ancient Egyptian god of the desert and storms).

SCERA to Host 9th Annual DANCING UNDER THE STARS, 8/22-23
If audiences feel a rumble coming from the SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre stage Aug. 22 and 23, it might be because one of the rising stars in Los Angeles will headline an evening of "Dancing Under the Stars" and bring a distinctive brand of fusion that has made him an in-demand choreography across the country.
Kyle Hanagami, dubbed "Hollywood's hottest up-and-coming choreographer" by Dance Spirit Magazine and his group Making Moves will be joined by a two other celebrated dancers, Jason Janas and Francisco Gella, as well as award-winning teams from Orem's acclaimed Center Stage Performing Arts Studio, named National Studio of the Year in 2012.
The evening will begin at 7 p.m. with a pre-show featuring some of Utah's top dance studios. The main concert will begin at 8:00pm. General admission tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for children 3-11, seniors 65 and older and students with identification. Reserved seats range from $20 to $30 for adults and $15 to $25 for children, seniors and students. Tickets are available at www.scera.org, by calling (801) 225-ARTs, in person at the SCERA Center for the Arts (745 S. State St., Orem) weekdays from 10am-6m and Saturdays from 12Noon-6pm, or at the gate 90 minutes prior to performance. The SCERA Shell Outdoor Theatre is located at 69 South State in the middle of Orem's SCERA Park.
Now in its ninth year, director, choreographer and owner of Center Stage Kim Delgrosso will demonstrate the style that has her dancers performing on television, on stage, and in professional performances across the United States.
"Wow, this show is really rolling," says Delgrosso, who could not be more lavish in her praise of Hanagami. "Among other places, he has been a choreographer for the TV show "The X Factor," and did an amazing video about love letters," she says. "He invited people to submit letters of love and said he would put a dollar per letter toward cancer research. Kyle received $14,000 letters, and his video has topped half a million views."

Who Is Winning the Tortorella-Vigneault Coaching Swap?
Nick Emptage
January 31 2014 12:12PM
Not long after their teams were dispatched from the 2012-13 playoffs, two long-time NHL coaches were relieved of their jobs. Despite five straight Northwest Division titles, two President's Trophies, and a Stanley Cup Finals appearance, Vancouver Canucks boss Alain Vigneault was let go after seven seasons, with the team and fans calling for a change in direction after two first-round playoff exits. Similarly, over in the Eastern Conference, the New York Rangers brought John Tortorella's four-season tenure to an end. Despite a record of 171-115-29 in Manhattan, Torts' brusque style alienated many on the team and in the local media, and his conservative, defensive approach was viewed as a poor fit for a young, talented roster.
Scoring chances - Buffalo @ Phoenix
Cam Charron
January 31 2014 02:50AM
For those of you unawares, Dimitri Filipovic and I have a running bet each week during the slate of Saturday games. The loser must watch a game of the winner's choosing... and record scoring chances. This week, I had the pleasure of watching the Phoenix Coyotes and the Buffalo Sabres. It was the teams' first meeting since #BUTTGOAL, but, alas, there was to be no legendary moment during the rematch. The only somewhat interesting sequence was when rookie referee Trevor Hanson got hit in the face with a puck after the ricochet off the crossbar from an Oliver Ekman-Larsson shot.
The Sabres won 3-2, but obviously didn't deserve the victory, being out-shot 40-28. ExtraSkater page for the game is here, and the scoring chances are below.

The Montreal Canadiens have had an awful Fenwick Close % for the last while, and, well, it doesn't look like that's going to get any better against Washington. It takes a certain kind of awful to have as many shots as your adversary has goals midway through the second period, but, hey, at least it isn't Randypuck*.

Rookies and the 20 Goal Plateau

Flames' rookie Sean Monahan has been the talk of Flames Town for much of the 2013-14 season. He was selected in the 2013 draft 6th overall by the Flames and made the team immediately out of camp. He did not disappoint in his first few months in the league, putting up 15 points in roughly 20 games. His game has trailed off since then but he's still contributing on a Flames team that doesn't score very much. In fact, he's leading this Flames team in goals with his 14 on the season.

Minister's Moment: Mountaintop Experiences
Mountaintop Experiences
Exodus 24:12-18
Matthew 17:1-9
When I was a teenager we lived in New York City. Every spring, the youth of our denomination would gather at a resort outside the city for a weekend retreat. It was pretty intense. There were some recreation experiences on Saturday afternoon, but the weekend was geared to deepening our religious experience, with most of our time spent in worship services. We were a pretty close-knit bunch, since we saw each other frequently throughout the year, so it was always a good weekend.
Invariably, during the Sunday morning service, the worship leader would use the phrase, "mountaintop experience." We all knew what he meant. Being together in an unfamiliar setting was always stimulating, first because we knew each other so well and enjoyed each other's company, but even more because we felt God's presence and God's power more clearly in that atmosphere. The leader was reminding us that, although mountaintop experiences were refreshing and strengthening, at some time we had to leave the mountain and return to daily life. The hope and expectation was that we would take with us some newfound spiritual power to help us in our daily lives.

Riley James was small-time, just a kid running messages and money for the Monsanto Brothers, the real players in Belize City. Then one slip in judgment left two men dead. The Monsantos handled the situation for their young protégé---but accepting this favor put Riley inescapably in their debt.
Now, years later, he's a pro picking up drug drops under the Coast Guard's nose and guiding boats through the reefs, which was something he wanted as a kid but not anymore.… (più)

12/24/2014 - Engaging Youth, the Next Generation Working to End Homelessness
By Marley Duchovnay
I was eight or nine when the idea of working with people experiencing homelessness first crossed my mind. It had been a long day and some relatives and I were walking to dinner. The city was crowded and as we passed under a building's scaffolding, through the fast-walking legs of adults, I saw a man crouched by the edge of the sidewalk. What struck me was that everyone ignored him. It seemed to me that I was the only one who could see him. Once we reached the restaurant I broke into tears. When I got home I explained what happened to my mom. "Maybe you can work with the homeless when you're older" she said.
12/24/2014 - Calling All Communities: Help End Veteran Homelessness through National Service
By Peter Nicewicz
The Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) has announced a new program called Operation AmeriCorps, aimed at using national service as the transformative catalyst to address a community's most pressing local problem. Through Operation AmeriCorps, tribal and local leaders will identify a high priority local challenge which AmeriCorps members can holistically address in a relatively short period of time (no more than two years). The competition is open exclusively to tribal and local governments, including counties, cities, towns, and school districts; and state service commissions. The proposed solution may be a new initiative, or it may use national service to scale up an existing successful effort. In either case AmeriCorps must be the additive ingredient to achieve holistic change at the local level.
12/23/2014 - Our Chief Labor Is the Building of Homes
By Richard Cho
As the year draws to a close, I am struck by how far we have come in our effort to end homelessness. 2014 has indeed been a historic year. We have an Administration and White House that is fully committed to ending homelessness among populations, starting with Veterans in 2015, and where this commitment is not just a set of words, but a set of actions and a clear plan with clear measures. Mayors, governors, and county executives are themselves stepping up with commitments, followed by actions. Communities across the country are working hard to achieve their own local goals, bringing partners to the table, setting 100-day targets, creatively leveraging all resources possible, and helping hundreds of people every day to unlock doors to their own homes and to new lives.
12/18/2014 - Lessons Learned from Developing Coordinated EntrySystems: Richmond and Los Angeles
By Matthew Doherty, Kelly King Horne and Libby Boyce
All across the country, communities are developing coordinated entry systems to streamline and facilitate access to appropriate housing and services for families and individuals experiencing homelessness. In the Greater Richmond area of Virginia and in Los Angeles County, California—like in other places—efforts to bring these systems online are in full swing.
Let's hear from Richmond and Los Angeles County, who presented at the December 2014 full Council meeting regarding their local efforts to implement coordinated assessment, their successes, their lessons learned, and the challenges that they continue to tackle.
12/16/2014 - The Private Sector Steps Up To End Homelessness in Massachusetts: Multi-family owners launch "New Lease"
By Mary Corthell
In 2012, the number of families experiencing homelessness living in the shelter system in Massachusetts had increased significantly. As a shelter entitlement State, Massachusetts law provides immediate access to shelter to families that are determined eligible. Realizing that the homelessness crisis required immediate action from multiple partners, affordable housing owners came together, in concert with the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development, to assist in the effort by offering an additional housing solution. As a result of that meeting in 2012, the owners agreed to donate seed money to a non-profit pilot which would be known as New Lease, which aims to prioritize people experiencing homelessness for HUD's multifamily properties' affordable rental units. At the outset this group of affordable housing owners agreed to rent 10 – 15 percent of vacant, Project Based Section 8 family apartments to New Lease. As of December, 2014, 80 families have been housed through New Lease.
12/10/2014 - We STILL Believe in Human Rights
By Maria Foscarinis and Laura Green Zeilinger
Around the country, more communities are working in partnership with the Federal government to develop housing crisis response systems that effectively prevent and end homelessness. No longer can there be any question that ending homelessness is possible, if we dedicate resources and energy to this goal. This shift brings with it the opportunity for us to meet the basic human rights of everyone in our community—when we put people first and focus on the human need for housing and proven, cost-effective solutions, we can make a difference.
12/08/2014 - In Utah, a History of Progress Inspires Greater Action
By Matthew Doherty
Many readers have likely heard about the great progress being made toward ending homelessness in Salt Lake and Utah. Earlier this fall, I had the privilege of joining more than 475 people for the 11th Annual Utah Homeless Summit organized by Utah Department of Workforce Services' Housing and Community Development Division. The Summit also coincided with the release of Utah's 2014 Comprehensive Report on Homelessness prepared by the State Community Services Office. The report describes the remarkable progress Utah has made under its ten-year plan to end both chronic and Veteran homelessness by the end of 2015, documenting that "Chronic homelessness has declined 72 percent since 2005 and chronic homelessness among Veterans has reached an effective zero." Such progress should help convince skeptics that making progress on homelessness can be a reality in communities all across the country. Summit participants spent the day both celebrating Utah's progress and engaging in dialogue to ensure that progress is sustained.
12/03/2014 - Youth have a Voice—We Want and Need You to Listen
By Bentley Burdick
I think things are beginning to change in this country, both in small, grass roots movements and on a national front sweeping through the country. It's easier now than ever for people to tell their stories, and I sense that people are beginning to want to hear voices of those less heard, voices like mine. My story may not make headlines but I realize now it is important none-the-less.
11/20/2014 - National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week Prompts Us to Look Ahead and Take Action
by Laura Green Zeilinger
This week is Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week, a time when many Americans are engaged to help our neighbors who live without food security and without a safe and stable place to call home. For those of us who work to end hunger and homelessness year-round, this week provides a fresh opportunity to gain new ground, to meet and recruit new partners, to share meals with neighbors, and to extend a helping hand. It's an opportunity to look forward and take action, a time to focus intently on the steps we need to take together to end hunger and homelessness once and for all.
11/19/2014 - That Person on the Street Could Be You
by Paul Gionfriddo
When we see people who are homeless on our streets and in our parks, and take some time to think about them, we might feel pity, sympathy, annoyance, fear, or a host of other emotions.
But we probably never think "that person could be me."
We just assume that people who are homeless have always lived like that. They're homeless, their parents were homeless, maybe even their grandparents were homeless. And we assume that they are homeless by choice.
They are not. They are homeless because we have made them so.

I think the disagreement here is not about elite, but what constitutes "strong". I still consider a 1470+ raw at 198 is strong, but not elite. I guess some people only consider someone strong if they have reached elite.
Damn. You guys have extremely high expectations for "strong"
This really makes me think about the 2 "elite" totals I've hit, both with multiply equipment, and I've never ranked any higher than 10th on the powerlifting USA top 100. I mean I was very happy with #10,but I wouldn't say it made me "one of the best" in my weight class; which is what "elite" should truly be. So I'd say having seperate "elites" for raw, single ply, and multiply makes sense; but essentially I think a better guide would be looking at the powerlifting watch lifter rankings; If you make #5 or above for the year in you class with your type of equipment I'd say that's elite.
The other issue here though is that there used to only be 1 "style" of lifting, so this means that powerlifting is divided at least in thirds (not sure what % of lifters compete in which categories); so basically if you took the top 2 raw, 2 single ply and 2 multiply you "might" have the 6 "top" lifters in that weight class ( which would be elite overall), this kind of makes sense when you look at ranking lists. There are always 2 or 3 guys that are just leaps and bounds ahead of the next few guys on the list.
I guess I'm just rambling my thoughts, but does this make sense to others?

And Simon Cowell's First 'X Factor' Judge Is...
THR's sources say Reid's participation as a judge is "a done deal" and that an official announcement will hit later this week.
Reid has a contract with Universal Music until December, but would get released early to join 'The X Factor.' Auditions for the show kick off March 27 in LA.
The winner will score a $5 million recording contract with Sony Music.
Cowell is the only judge thus far. How he'll flesh out his table with three more judges has been a hot topic lately. Cowell recently told 'Access Hollywood Live' he was considering George Michael, Nicole Scherzinger, Mariah Carey and former 'American Idol' co-judge Paula Abdul. He also said that Elton John is absolutely not in the running -- "He's so grumpy nowadays. He'd just be moaning the whole time," Cowell said.
See Cowell talk 'X Factor' judges:
"It will be the best judging panel so far, I promise you," Cowell told MTV this week. "If I get the people I want, I'm really happy."

L A Reid is one of the toughest men in the music business..He does not play. Paula Abdul, love her but I think Simon wants to the take the X Factor to another level and definitely not to be confused with American Idol. George Michael would definitely work.
- Wednesday 16 MarchBy LorettaHighest Rank Vote downVote upReport this
I think L.A Reid its a very good choice, finally, they are sitting people with acknowledge in regards, the meaning of music business and real talent. L.A Reid was the one who discovered and signed to his label LAFACE Records Tony Braxton, Pink, TLC among others, believe me, he had make big numbers. This guy have the vision, the capacity as an A & R ( Artist and Repertoire) and experience to be sitting and bring a positive turn to this show besides celebrities, they should bring on the table people with the experience behind the record business, so we can all learn. Randy from American idol is only a producer, L.A Reid, is a major league in the music business as a creator, A & R, and producer as also, my respect to Clive Davis, who is a nother genious. We need people like this in the music world.

Reid is a genious in his field plus a millionaire,knows what he's doing. Simon made an excellent choice.There's rampant ignorance and racism on this site.

Car insurance costs fell 12.5 per cent in the last three months of 2013, compared with the previous year. Gemma Stanbury, head of car insurance at Confused.com, explains why in this video.
Figures published this week show a new gender divide has opened up over car insurance prices.
Telematics is a recent development in car insurance that lets good drivers be rewarded with lower premiums. Our short video explains how it works and how it could save you money.
Parents of new motorists face bills of almost £5,000 before their child is even qualified to drive, a new report suggests.
Telematics is relatively new to the insurance industry, and it can help drivers young and old cut the cost of their premiums by proving they are good drivers. But how does it work? And where else is the technology used?
Do you think some of your relatives might be paying too much for their car insurance? And what can you do about it?
Is claiming on your car insurance always a good idea? Find out the pros and cons here.
An increasing number of car insurers are offering it, but would you have "black box" technology fitted in your car to assess your driving skills?
Are you a young driver? Then a telematics or "black box" policy could cut the cost of your car insurance. Find out more here.
