Battling for MEAC title, NCCU feels the hate
None of that chest bumping for N.C. Central's Emanuel "Poobie" Chapman.
When he gets introduced before games as the Eagles' starting point guard, he'll run out like he's going to collide with NCCU hype man Karamo Jawara before hitting the brakes in exchange for a little dance -- you might call it the Poobie Hustle.
That goes over just fine when NCCU is at home in McDougald-McLendon Gymnasium, but it's the sort of thing that could come off like fingernails on a chalkboard when the Eagles are on the road.
NCCU coach LeVelle Moton said there's little love for his team around the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference as it is.
"We are the black Duke," Moton said.
The Poobie Hustle doesn't exactly engender warm fuzzies in hostile MEAC gyms, nor did NCCU guard Jeremy Ingram blaring his eyes and stretching open his mouth at A&T's home crowd the way he did in December after knocking down shots in what turned into the Eagles' first conference win of the season.
The Aggie-Eagle rivalry is bitter all by itself, and Ingram's facial expressions certainly didn't add any sugar to it.
"In the MEAC, we're like the black Duke," Moton said. "Every time we go somewhere else, we're the hated team.
"Other schools look at North Carolina Central the way the ACC looks at Duke. We've got to be ready to embrace that challenge," Moton said.
There's plenty of basketball left in the season, but so far, pretty good for NCCU (12-7, 5-0 MEAC). The Eagles will look to stay undefeated in the MEAC when they host Morgan State (6-10, 3-2 MEAC) tonight (7:30 p.m., nccueaglepride.com).
NCCU is in second place in the MEAC, behind Norfolk State (12-10, 7-0), which won last season's MEAC tournament to earn a trip to the NCAA tournament.
Norfolk State and NCCU are the only MEAC teams that are undefeated in the league.
Moton said the bad blood toward NCCU can be traced to the success NCCU had back in the 1950s when Sam Jones was there before a career with the Boston Celtics that landed him in the NBA's hall of fame.
In 1972, NCCU won the MEAC football championship, and Moton said the guys on that team could tell all about how vilified that Eagles squad was.
Moton said he remembers the hateful gyms he entered when he played basketball for NCCU.
"Our game was their Super Bowl," Moton said. "Everyone just had a hate – a genuine hate and a genuine dislike – for North Carolina Central University."
This is NCCU's second season as a Division I program. The move up gives the Eagles a shot at playing in the NCAA tournament. The journey to get to Division I came with some severe beatings from better teams, and there were a whole lot of folks out there who loved everything about that, Moton said.
"People were happy that we were getting our head beat in because we chose to move into Division I," Moton said.
But now NCCU is administering some beatings.
The hate hasn't gone anywhere, Moton said.
"It's almost like Central-A&T everywhere we go," Moton said last week after NCCU handled Howard 71-36 in McDougald-McLendon. "We're fortunate to get here and just breathe our type of oxygen and see familiar faces."
If Moton is right about NCCU being the "black Duke," then it's a problem any coach should want, former Duke basketball coach Bucky Waters said.
"There's a difference between being liked and being respected," said Waters, who was coaching Duke in the early 1970s. "And you talk about being hated, that means you're winning; that means you're successful."
Most folks used to be ho-hum about Duke basketball until 1959, Waters said. That's when first-year Duke coach Vic Bubas went to New York and worked on Art Heyman, the highly prized prospect coming out of high school that year.
Bubas got his man, snagging Heyman "from the front porch" of North Carolina coach Frank McGuire, Waters said.
"And that started the incredible rivalry that we have today," Waters said about Duke and UNC. "And that's incredible only because both teams have been up there and stayed up there, and it's been a marvelous display of endurance by both."
Waters said Moton is a "very classy guy, and for all I know about him, he's going places. But right now he's got his hands full, and part of his problem is trying to generate interest in this area."
Duke, UNC and N.C. State get most of the attention around here.
But there's a stir in the Eagles' nest.
"It's a little different when you've got that bull's-eye on your back," Moton said. "As we win and progress and evolve, we're starting to have that bull's-eye on our back, and teams are going to come in and we're going to get their best shot."
That's the price a program pays for playing winning basketball, Waters said.
"All coaches have the same number of practices, the same number of games, the same number of days on the road recruiting," Waters said. "Everything is the same, except the fervor and the passion with which your team is held. Is it one of zeal and animosity? And all of that bodes because you are good; you are successful. If you're mediocre, it's not so much. All coaches strive to be in that top 25, have people shooting at you, have that bull's-eye on your back, whatever cliché fits. That's more preferable, but there's a price to pay for that. You need to get tougher. Your family needs to get tougher in terms of dealing with the public. It's all part of the business."
Moton gets that.
"Nobody hates you if you've never been successful," Moton said. "Nobody hates a loser."

Article 1, Section 2, of the United States Constitution states:
"Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers...The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."
Therein lies the primary mandate of the U.S. census, apportionment of the House of Representatives. Since that first census in 1790, five methods of apportionment have been used. The current method used, the Method of Equal Proportions, was adopted by congress in 1941 following the census of 1940. This method assigns seats in the House of Representatives according to a "priority" value. The priority value is determined by multiplying the population of a state by a "multiplier."
For example, following Census 2000, each of the 50 states was given one seat out of the current total of 435. The next, or 51st seat, went to the state with the highest priority value and thus became that state's second seat. This continued until all 435 seats had been assigned to a state. This is how it is done.
P - represents a state's total population
n - represents the number of seats a state would have if it gained a seat (because all states automatically received one seat the next seat gained is "seat two," and the next "seat three," and the next "seat four," and so on.)
The multiplier equals:
[which is called the reciprocal of the geometric mean]. Computing these values is quite easy using a PC and a good spreadsheet package.
Thus the formula for calculating the multiplier for the second seat is:
or 1/1.414213562 or 0.70710678
the multiplier for the third seat is:
1/2.449489743 or 0.40824829
the multiplier for the fourth seat is:
1/3.464101615 or 0.288675134
Continue until an appropriate number of multipliers have been calculated.
Once the "multipliers" have been calculated, the next step is to multiply this figure by the population total for each of the 50 states (the District of Columbia is not included in these calculations). The resulting numbers are the priority values. Make sure you compute enough multipliers to cover the largest amount of seats in the U.S. House of Representatives that any one state stands to gain. Multipliers and priority values must be calculated for the largest number of seats assigned to a state. For example, if the largest number of seats assigned to a state is 50, multipliers and priority values must be calculated for the 50th seat. If you are using a PC, compute multipliers for seats 2 through 60. This will assure you have enough multipliers for apportionment.
Once you've calculated priority values for each state for the total anticipated seats, the next step is to rank and number the resulting priority values starting with seat 51 until all 435 seats have been assigned (remember, each state automatically received one seat). Next, tally the number of seats for each state to arrive at the total number of seats in the House of Representatives apportioned to each state.Multipliers and Priority Values

What bird is that Chicky?
It is definitely a sparrowhawk. Looks like the female as it seems browner in colour and larger but it could just be the pic. Males are smaller and bluer in colour. I get quite a few in my garden, they are breaktakingly beautiful but quicker than a speeding bullet, they're a blur when they're coming in for a take. If they sit still long enough you can appreciate just how beautiful they are. A female sparrowhawk took off from the ground in my garden the other day and flew off very slowly just above my head (if they're not attacking they're very graceful birds) but that was a little scary I have to say, you realise just how long and large their talons are!
Star at the minute is this viticella clematis Purpurea Plena Elegans - I cut this one completely down to the ground every year. All of those dahlias were grown from seed this year - lovely cheery things.
Nice scene bob....will you save all those dahlias?
What a lovely picture - my kind of garden. Will be trying dahlias from seed myself next year - seems a better bet than fiddling round with storing tubers
I'll lift the red one, Verdun, but the others will have to take their chances - 50/50 judging by previous years (providing I keep the slugs off, otherwise it's zero!)
Chicky, I find them easy from seed but do raise them in the conservatory as the seedlings are very sensitive to cold and snuff it even at the mere mention of frost! I grow them on to be quite large plants (12" tall in 5" pots) before planting out.
Thanks for the kind comments - late clematis, dahlias, cosmos and geranium wallichainum are the mainstays in my garden for colour from now to the frosts.
Last of the lilies is still bravely showing its fading petals. Not much of a star any more but credit where it's due. Glory of the snow or anemone are already coming up for next spring. Like the enthusiasm, not sure about the sense of timing. Brambles are producing some lovely fruit. They're beautiful plants as long as you don't grab one.
I'd say the star was the nutter who dug out 2 tonnes of rocks and soil and builders' rubble, laid 500 bulbs and put another 2 tonnes of compost 'n' stuff into the trench over them. Lunatic.
Photo taken a couple of weeks ago so lillies have now almost finished but the begonias still look the same. I have moved the brush & bucket since! Hope this photo works I haven't done this before.
More begonias this time in the ground
Looks great Christine. Lots of hard work there but now the rewards!
Worked beautifully, Christine 28. Lovely show from your begonias.
Beautiful bob.
lovely Christine, my neighbour has orange begonias and said they were very difficult to grow, she lost one of the baskets, the other is great.
Thank you for your lovely comments. It doesn't feel like hard work as we enjoy doing it so much. My husband loves growing begonias, the greenhouse is full of them. The plants outside we laughingly call "rejects" basically they are cutting which he has taken and doesn't have room for inside. Now I have leant how to upload photos I will add a few more. The first 2 are inside the greenhouse the third one is the view from the conservatory. All 3 were taken 2 to 3 weeks ago. The lilies,astilbies and alchemila have finished but the begonias seem to outast everything else.
Lovely colours from those begonias. The only ones I grow are the Bonfire cascading types. Very long flowering amd easy. Small vivid red or orange flowers upright then cascading. Brilliant show
Thank you. We have been pleased with them this year.
Bob and Christine great pics.M.ybegonias too a while to get going but are still looking great
A freebie packet of aster seeds has given me the stars in my garden this week.
Lovely Marion - didn't know you could grow asters from seed - might try that next year.
Here are my current stars:
They trick me into thinking spring is here already.
Excuse the hay - OH mowed the meadow, and it seemed to get sprayed liberally over everything. Big session with a rake needed next weekend.
For great germination. Chicky ,there is nothing to beat zinnias and asters. I was running out of places to put them and you know what a huge garden I have. result many of them found a home in pots with seedling shrubs and trees already in them! Are your lovely crocus speciosus?

Strategic Plan for Managing Property
OUR PURPOSEAs good property managers and custodians, we will advocate the optimal use of property, and will protect and maintain it for the present and the future.
VISIONWe will provide quality, cost effective property services and information valued by our customers and support the Department of the Interior's diverse missions.
- Excellence in customer service
- Creative solutions through partnerships and shared resources
- Promotion of best practices and expertise
- Adherence to highest professional and ethical standards
- Excellence in customer service
CURRENT SITUATIONWhere We Are Now -- Each bureau provides for accountability in the: acquisition, tracking and control, use and disposition of personal, real and museum property in the Department of the Interior. Each bureau provides overall management of all property acquired by or in the custody of the bureau contractors/grantees. The Office of Financial Management, in their FY 1995 Annual Report, stated the value of the Department's current non-stewardship assets at over $25 billion and stewardship assets of more than 65 million museum objects and 23,000 historic structures. Standards for preserving and managing museum property, a heritage asset, have been developed by the Interior Museum Property Committee to correct substantial deficiencies in the care of this property.
There is substantial similarity among the bureaus' high-level property program requirements. Variations among the bureaus' programs are due to:
- Legislative requirements;
- Different and occasionally competing bureau missions and mandates that lead to differing emphases in property management;
- Organizational differences;
- The availability of property management expertise;
- Different program processes (e.g., bureau specific forms and automated systems);
- Different funding sources for property management; and
- Magnitude and diversity of property holdings (e.g., heavy and scientific equipment, buildings, engineering structures, historic structures, and artwork and artifacts).
Program variations have resulted in the bureaus developing and operating duplicative, separate systems that respond to Departmental standards. The bureaus historically have had the funding and resources to support bureau-specific initiatives. However, changing circumstances,including recent legislation, administration initiatives, new technologies, and tighter budgets, in some cases have resulted in Interior's property management community seeking efforts of a multi-bureau nature. For example, recent multi-bureau efforts have led to a reduced numberof Departmental automated personal property management systems.
Why We Need to Change -- The circumstances or factors that lead us to develop and implement a Departmentwide strategic plan for property management are driven by:
- Greater demand for accountability and associated reporting requirements;
- Material weaknesses that exist or deficiencies that may lead to material weaknesses in several bureau's property management programs;
- The Government Performance and Results Act that requires goal-setting and performance measures;
- OMB Circular A-127 that requires integrated financial management systems;
- The Chief Financial Officers Act that requires quality and timely financial information about the bureaus' operations and financial condition;
- The Information Technology Management Reform Act that requires a return on information technology investments; and
- The National Performance Review that emphasizes better business practices.
- Material weaknesses that exist or deficiencies that may lead to material weaknesses in several bureau's property management programs;
- The need to share information;
- Continuing staff and funding reductions; and
- Greater demand by the public for access to heritage assets.
- Legislative requirements;
The Department of the Interior will have the leading property management program in the Federal Government.
- Satisfy the Customer
- Survey customers to determine what creates satisfaction. The Survey should include:
- reporting requirements;
- inventory requirements;
- reutilization procedures for personal and real property; and
- systems requirements.
- reporting requirements;
- Take action on survey results.
- Solicit customer feedback - ongoing process.
- Survey customers to determine what creates satisfaction. The Survey should include:
- Share Resources
- Provide efficient user access to collections.
- Develop a policy on and mechanisms for sharing equipment, space, facilities, and staff.
- Identify and implement cross servicing projects and opportunities.
- Develop property management programs that cross bureau/agency lines where such programs would achieve efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
- Investigate the use of existing systems.
- Investigate the applicability of the Single Audit Act in the oversight of our museum collections in non-Federal repositories.
- Simplify the process for creating inter- and intra-governmental agreements.
- Provide efficient user access to collections.
- Develop People and Expertise for a Competent and Motivated Workforce
- Establish training requirements for property management.
- Develop, update and maintain common property management training programs for:
- property management staff;
- program managers; and
- customers.
- property management staff;
- Provide an Internet directory of training opportunities.
- Create a property management recognition program.
- Investigate an integrated administrative functions training program for AdministrativeOfficers.
- Establish training requirements for property management.
- Integrate and Streamline Business Processes and Practices
- Establish a Property Management Partnership.
- Establish partnerships with:
- finance;
- information technology management;
- procurement;
- budget; and
- program offices.
- finance;
- Evaluate ways to reduce property management data requests and improve processes.
- Find ways to reduce regulations and procedures.
- Migrate as quickly as possible to a systems environment that meets Departmental information resources management standards incorporating new technologies that will reduce duplicative data entry and allow for easy and timely access to data.
- Our understanding is that a "systems environment" may be a single system ormultiple systems in which information resident on those systems can be shared electronically.
- Our understanding is that a "systems environment" may be a single system ormultiple systems in which information resident on those systems can be shared electronically.
- Adapt Best Practices to meet organizational requirements by:
- determining benchmarks for Best Practices by surveying other organizations;
- making information on Best Practices readily available (e.g. Internet directory); and
- establishing Best Practices pilot project(s).
- determining benchmarks for Best Practices by surveying other organizations;

Get a look at the new interface and features in the first (free) update to Windows 8.1. Jess Stratton shows how Windows 8.1 Update 1 makes navigation easier; explores the new ways to work with Metro apps, including pinning them to the taskbar; and reveals how to use the capabilities provided by the new power button icon on the start screen.
Want to learn more about Windows 8.1? Check Windows 8.1 Essential Training.
My name is Jess Stratton, and welcome to your first look at windows 8.1 update 1. You can get this free upgrade on April 8th 2014 by doing a standard windows update on your computer or just by waiting until your computer does the automatic updates on its own. If you currently haven't upgraded to Windows 8.1 yet, meaning you're still on the base version of Windows 8, you can absolutely get this upgrade, but you have to go to the Windows Store first to get it. I'm focusing on a desktop PC using a mouse to show you these changes.
The main notable change in this update is the further separation of touch screen features versus using a traditional desktop with a mouse. So, let's dive in and start by finding out what happens now when the system boots up. In Windows 8.1 Update 1, if Windows detects that you're using a non touchscreen version of Windows, it will now boot to the Desktop by default, which is where I am right now. Where it will continue to boot to the Modern App Start screen, formally called Metro, if you're using a touch screen.
Now, I'm going to click to go back to the Desktop because you can change this. If I right click on the Taskbar, and choose Properties, change to the Navigation tab, and now, uncheck when I sign in or close all apps on a screen, go to the Desktop instead of Start. When you're done, click OK, and that change will be updated. The ability to boot to the Desktop is not new. That's been there since the original 8.1 update, but having it boot there by default, according to what device you're using, is what's new.
So, let's move on to some more Desktop changes. The Windows App Store is now pinned, by default so that you can find new apps more quickly. Also you can now pin those Metro apps to the Desktop Taskbar. I'm going to click to go back to the Start Screen. I can choose an app and right click it, and you'll notice now that i'm using the mouse, I get some new context sensitive menus here. I'll choose Pin to Taskbar. I'll click back on my Desktop, and you'll now see that a Metro app has now been pinned to the Taskbar.
You can also hover your mouse over them for a pop up preview, And some apps will even allow you to interact with them in this preview mode. Here's something else that's new. Clicking on an app in the Start Bar will still launch that app in full-screen mode, but now you can close a Metro App by moving your mouse to the top of the screen, going all the way to the top right-hand side and clicking the X. You can also click the dash to minimize it. But now it's much easier to close a Metro app if you're using a mouse. Now let's talk about some Start screen changes.
I'll click to get back to my Start screen. There's now a new app notification at the bottom of the Start screen. Previously, it was more difficult to find out any new apps that you've installed, but clicking on the arrow will take you to the main app screen, and now you can see that all new apps are highlighted with the word new next to them so that you can quickly find all your new apps. I'm going to click the arrow to go back to that main Start screen. On the very top right here, you'll notice a much easier to find power button to the right of your profile.
If I click on that Power button, I can now put the computer to sleep, Shut Down or Restart. You'll also notice next to that, we have a nice handy search button here so that we can search for apps directly right from the Start screen. So that's it for the new major changes in Windows 8.1 Update 1. Again, the most notable differences is the difference between using a mouse versus using a touchscreen.
There are currently no FAQs about Windows 8.1 Update 1 First Look.

Spreading the Love: Cupcake bakers re-enter Portland food truck arena
PORTLAND — Love Cupcakes, known for the green-and-pink 1960s trailer that has become a Route 1 fixture in Falmouth, is expanding to the Old Port this summer with a new food truck.
Owners Anna and Joey Turcotte tested the Portland food truck waters in 2012, the first business to do so after the city gave food trucks the OK. Now they plan to do it again with a new truck, hoping to drum up attention for the catering side of their business in the process.
"I'm excited, kind of," Anna Turcotte said, noting that she is hesitant about the new venture because selling cupcakes consistently in Portland has proved difficult. "We really just want exposure. We don't have extremely high hopes for Portland, but I see no reason why it won't go well."
The newly remodeled truck has the same color scheme of the little trailer and will be located in a parking lot at Fore and Center streets. They plan to be open dessert hours, 7-10 p.m., Thursdays, Fridays and most Saturdays, if they don't have an event to cater.
Turcotte said the new truck will give her more freedom and mobility to cater events like weddings and bridal showers, which have been much more successful, but previously required her to have more help.
"With a trailer, I was really dependent on my husband because I didn't know how to drive with it," she said. "Now I can go do events by myself."
Turcotte said most of the catering she does is nearby, but recently she went as far south as York in the new truck.
The Turcottes purchased the truck for $900, had a friend do maintenance work and Joey Turcotte remodeled the interior and painted it.
Turcotte started the business after deciding she wanted to make a career change from social work. She had grown up baking with her mom, although never commercially, and thought selling cupcakes out of a trailer would be fun, she said.
The couple, who live in Portland, opened the cupcake business in 2011, something Turcotte said has been both rewarding and challenging.
"It's really funny what you find yourself doing," she said, noting that she was lugging around the giant cupcake prop that sits atop her roadside stand for months, struggling to strap it into her Prius to take home everyday so it wouldn't get stolen.
Recently, she found a safe place to store it.
One of the latest challenges has been the new truck, not because it's difficult to drive, but because the heat is stuck on high at the peak of summer.
"The things you do when you're a start-up company, it can really be a little degrading," she said, "but someone has to do it."
And after being the only food truck in Portland last year, Love Cupcakes is joined by 10 others this year, according to the city clerk's office.
Turcotte said part of the hesitancy for food trucks is that Portland – both the city government and residents – is still trying to understand how the mobile food vendors work.
"I don't think Portland has really figured out how to use food trucks yet," she said, adding that in a small city like Portland, it's hard for trucks to move around like they would in a larger city like New York.
"People in Portland are not following their Facebook and Twitter to see where the trucks are going to be everyday. Consistency is the most important thing right now."
The rules governing food trucks also make the mobile-food business difficult, something critics pointed to last year when there was a conspicuous dearth of trucks after the city passed the rules.
One of those complaints is that the city does not allow for clustering of trucks, which Turcotte said could help raise the visibility and accessibility of food trucks.
The rules also confine mobile food vendors to some city parks, a few streets around the edges of downtown and industrial off-peninsula locations between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The rules ban food trucks from operating within 65 feet of any working kitchen on the peninsula, and within 200 feet from other commercial kitchens.
Food trucks can operate on private property in non-residential sections of the city during the day, and anywhere during the off-hours, although they have to pay a $110 building permit for each private location on top of the $640 permit to operate.
"It gets pricey when you just want to try out a spot," Turcotte said. "The great thing about being a food truck is that you can move around."
And while Turcotte has had to deal with the difficulties of a new business, including navigating new city ordinances, she said the hard work has paid off.
"It's been a lot of fun," she said. "A lot of work, but a lot of fun."

By Ian GrahamEmerging Media, Defense Media Activity
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 2010 Servicemembers have enough threats to deal with. Adding unsafe off-duty activities to their own load only adds to the stress of military service.
During a "DoD Live" bloggers roundtable yesterday, Navy Rear Adm. Arthur J. Johnson, commander of the Naval Safety Center, discussed the Navy's most recent safety campaign, which marked record reductions in overall off-duty fatalities.
"We just concluded our summer safety campaign with the conclusion of Labor Day weekend, and the results have been satisfactory," he said.
Labor Day marked the traditional end of summer for sailors and Marines, and also the end of the Naval Safety Center's annual summer safety campaign, "Live to Play, Play to Live."
Although reports for the long weekend are not complete, it appears that both the Navy and Marine Corps enjoyed the safest summer since the center started keeping these statistics, Johnson said.
Fourteen sailors and 14 Marines lost their lives between the Memorial Day and Labor Day weekends. Last year, 39 sailors and Marines lost their lives during the same period. The Navy's goal is zero preventable incidents, Johnson said, but this year's numbers are "satisfactory" and indicate a positive trend.
"Bottom line, some of the awareness efforts are starting to pay dividends," he said. "Our sailors are making better decisions and are acquitting themselves better out there in the real world."
He attributes a big part of the increase to an increased sense of ownership and involvement by sailors and Marines in safety programs. The more servicemembers feel as if they're a part of safety training, and not just recipients, he said, the more the positive trend will continue.
"We have observed an increase in the safety program by sailors and Marines throughout the fleet," he said. "We are starting to see some benefits of that increase."

Home » Destinations » Costa Rica Atlantic » About » Certification
Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica Atlantic has obtained Certification for Sustainable Tourism (CST). Our mission is to raise awareness about the importance of environmental conservation, and part of that goal is remembering our own impact.
The Certification for Sustainable Tourism program evaluates each tourism company based on the degree to which its operations comply to a model of sustainability. In order to meet their criteria our staff is constantly evaluating our physical-biological parameters, service management, interaction with external clients, and relationship with the community.
We hold each of these criteria to the highest importance and are proud to uphold the ideals of Certification for Sustainable Tourism.
Rainforest Adventures Costa Rica Atlantic was featured in page 63 of the June/July 2012 issue of the Andar de Viaje magazine, featuring the Carbon Neutral Certification of the park, being the first in the Tourism Industry in Costa Rica.
Carbon neutral means that – through a transparent process of calculating emissions, reducing those emissions and offsetting residual emissions – net carbon emissions equal zero.
In 2012, Rainforest Aerial Trams near Limon and San Jose areas becomes the first company in the tourism sector in Costa Rica to be certified as Carbon Neutral, which is granted by the Carbon Unit of the Earth.

Employability workshops for youth
From January to June 2012, three hundred youth, from 13 municipal public schools in Rio de Janeiro, attended capacity building workshops to get better prepared for the formal job market. Each workshop, with four hour duration, touched on topics such as appropriate attire, behavior, commitment and responsibility related to the interview process and work. In addition to the theoretical part, there was a practical component simulating a real selection process with group dynamics, written test and interview. This initiative adds up to English Language classes provided by the +Oportunidades Project, which is supported by the +Unidos Group together with USAID, and implemented by Instituto Empreender. Socio and economic disadvantaged youth from the municipalities of Belford Roxo, Duque de Caxias, Itaboraí, Mesquita, Nilópolis, São Gonçalo, and the city of Rio de Janeiro, were benefited by this initiative.

Hi Bob . It can be done but I don't know if you want or willing to do this. What we did was to just undercut the backside of the hoop with the tip of a big drill bit to give us enough room to get the clip on. You can see the dished out area in the pic. We knew that people with wood hoops would have trouble with the batter side , but we tried to keep as much equal distance between non-threaded bottom side and the top thread side when the drum is assembled. Don't know if that makes sense , but I am more than willing to relook at the current length and see what we can do. Its only a couple of quick key changes in the computer program , so it wouldn't be hard to do. Also do to the thickness of the wood hoop you can pretty much throw the spring away because its nearly impossible to compress it enough to get the clip on.

Level 5 Economics - South African Rand
South African Rand (ZAR)
Central Bank: South African Reserve Bank (SARB)
Current Interest Rate: http://www.reservebank.co.za/
Emerging Opportunity
Having been previously modeled on the Bank of England, the South African Reserve Bank stands as the monetary authority in
Although it may seem counter-intuitive, the South African Reserve Bank remains a wholly owned private entity with hundreds of shareholders that are limited to owning less than 1% of the total number of outstanding shares. Such regulations are to ensure that the interests of the economy precede those of any private individual. To enforce the bank's policies, the governor and a14-member board head the bank's activities and work toward monetary goals. The board meets six times a year.
Viewed among traders as relatively volatile, the average daily range of the South African rand (ZAR) can be as high as 1,000 pips. However, when translated into dollar pips, the movements are almost equivalent to an average day in the British pound, making the currency a great pair to trade against the U.S. dollar (especially when taking into consideration the carry potential). Traders also trade the rand for its close relationship to gold and platinum.
Experienced forex traders know that in order to be successful in forex you must first know the factors that move individual currencies. We've taken a look at the governing bodies and socio-economic factors that move the nine most widely traded currencies in forex and hopefully you've got a better feel for why these currencies behave the way they do. If you're still looking for more information, don't worry, we will be delving even further into a few of the major economic factors that affect currencies.

Rechargeable NiMh Batteries
I use these new Nickel Metal-Hydride batteries now in my radios, flashlights etc. I hate throwing away little environmental hazards in the form of Alkalines and I hate always having to buy batteries. These new cells have almost the same operational life as an ordinary Energizer but you can use them over and over and over.

Think "Pawn Stars," meets "Storage Wars." And, like those shows, the quirky buyers are as fascinating as what they (in this case), er, bag.
Apr 11, 2012It's moderately interesting, but you wouldn't miss much if you left this one at baggage claim.
I don't care about the characters, their treasure hunts or how much they make or lose when they gamble that they'll find something of value in a locked storage unit [on "Storage Wars"]. And that's pretty much my reaction to Baggage Battles, too.

Updated: 02/14/2013 9:54 PM KSTP.com By: Leslie Dyste
The University of St. Thomas introduced Dr. Julie Sullivan as its new president Thursday.
This is the first time that the president isn't a priest and is a woman, according to the university.
St. Thomas changed its bylaws in 2011, allowing for both men and women to become president. The president must still be a practicing Catholic.
Sullivan said, "My hope is for all Tommies to be inspired to challenge themselves and change our world."
Sullivan replaces Father Dennis Dease, 70, who will retire on June 30, after 22 years as president.
Dease referred to Sullivan as a 'star.' He said she's a great fit for St. Thomas.
Sullivan currently is executive vice president and provost at the University of San Diego.
Sullivan has worked at the University of San Diego since 2005. She is married with four children.

Silicon Valley is home to some of the world's most innovative minds, and thereby some of the most innovative start-ups. By nearly every standard of measurement – including patent volume, mergers and acquisitions, stock trades, market cap, and sheer number of technology companies – Silicon Valley outpaces Boston, and everywhere else in the United States.
According to Paul Graham of Y Combinator, "I think it will be better for the start-ups we fund to all be in the Valley.…we did worry that the Boston groups were losing out. Boston just doesn't have the start-up culture that the Valley does. It has more start-up culture than anywhere else, but the gap between number 1 and number 2 is huge; nothing makes that clearer than alternating between them."
To demonstrate the sustained power of Silicon Valley, we've assembled some supporting data below:

Fraberts proud to help our MPPs learn about agriculture and local food!
"Your Success is Our Success"
Country Guide article
Local Food Champions Announced…
Fraberts Fresh Food Hosted Grand Re-Opening
Guelph Celebrates Food Freedom Day with Local Style
One chef, one locovore, one dietician look at solving dinner woes
Feeling the winter blues? Stuck in a culinary rut? Kids won't eat your food no matter how much ketchup you put on it? Then this event is for you.
Fraberts is co-hosting a real food forum and information night at James McQueen Public School on Wednesday, Jan. 26 from 7-8 pm
Hot on the heels of the success of several healthy food initiatives currently underway at the school, Greener McQueen has partnered with Fraberts Fresh Food and local dietician Amy Waugh to host a Real Food Forum and Information Night for Parents.
An offshoot of parent council, Greener McQueen is a group of parents from the school community whose aim is getting kids excited and involved in all aspects of their environment.
The goal of the evening is to help families make healthy food that is both quick and easy to prepare, doesn't break the budget, and encourages the kids to get in the kitchen and get cooking.
Busy parents themselves, Jackie Fraser and Derek Roberts of Fraberts understand the challenges of eating well on the go. Both will be there to talk about the ease and benefits of using fresh foods and both will be available to answer questions following the talk. Local dietician and mother Amy Waugh RD, CDE from Upper Grand Family Health Team will also be on hand to discuss various issues around children's dietary requirements, how to handle those picky eaters, healthy school lunch ideas and more.
The free event is open to the entire community.
"We really want to emphasise this is a community event," says parent council member Shona Litchfield. "We all have to cook dinner and we can all use some new tips and fresh advice. We're thrilled to be able to host this night which will benefit all children and parents in the community."
And if you're still undecided, there are plenty of samples, door prizes and giveaways all with a kid/healthy eating related theme. James McQueen School is located in the heart of downtown Fergus at 365 St George Street.
Funding for this event was provided by the Ontario Ministry of Education's Parents Reaching Out Grant which funds school-based initiatives to support and enhance parental involvement in education. Greener McQueen is just one of the many health/environmental projects underway and ongoing at the school.
Thanks to the hard work of principal John Cassano along with enthusiastic staff, volunteers and students, the school has not only greened up their school yard with new play equipment, lawn areas and shade trees, it also operates a successful Food & Friends program providing healthy snacks to all children twice weekly, a compost/recycling program and involvement in In Motion's 3 up, 2 down initiative. For more information or if you'd like to be involved please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Funny Lady Fey Lumped in With Missouri's Own Mark Twain
|An American hero
The prize recognizes Americans who, like Twain (Samuel Clemens for you purists out there), have used humor to comment on society.
From the Kennedy Center's description of the prize:
"As a social commentator, satirist and creator of characters, Samuel Clemens was a fearless observer of society, who startled many while delighting and informing many more with his uncompromising perspective of social injustice and personal folly."
Fey, the youngest recipient ever at 40 and third woman to receive the prize, might be said to have had the greatest social impact with her dead-on impersonation of one-time vice presidential hopeful and polarizing pit bull/mama grizzly Sarah Palin.
According to the Washington Post's writeup of the event, the night was packed with well-wishers like SNL colleagues Amy Poehler, Jimmy Fallon and Lorne Michaels, as well as Betty White, with what seemed like the scene-stealing line of the night: "I'm the only one here who actually dated Mark Twain. And I can tell you they didn't call him Samuel Longhorne Clemens for nothing."
(It's actually Langhorne, but do you really want to deny an 88-year-old the chance to make a dick joke?)
Check out a broadcast of the soiree yourself this Sunday at 8 p.m. on local PBS affiliate KETC channel 9.

Find a work surface and prepare your lantern parts:
- 2 Rare Earth Magnets
- 1 3V Through-hole LED - any color or type
- 1 Peice of paper
- 1 CR2032 Coin Cell Battery
- Tape

Tape the seam in the middle of the lantern.
Step 3: Lighting Up The LED
You can also use tape to hold it in place.
Step 4: Placing The LED Inside Lantern
The magnet will hold the LED in place.
If you aren't using magnets, use tape to hold the light in place.

You can also use synthetic paper, which is more durable and is waterproof.
You can reuse your LED and lantern forever, your batteries can be brought to any electronics store to be recycled.
do u have any other thing like ones that float up in the air
I can make them. I found a way to add the helium after putting the light in and turning it on. Can do really bright ones too.
The magnets will always have the attraction.
Best to use one at a time and keep away from metal.

This is a down-to-earth, airy, yet cozy place on Horatio right by the West Side Highway. There are large windows with river views, and a small deck with outdoor seating. The food and drinks are great - though the mussels were a bit of a disappointment - small and several shells empty :(- but OK. The best part about this place is the staff. They are all so friendly, kind, and really laid back. My favorite is the bartender. He makes you feel right at home seated at his bar, and he remembers you from one time to the next! This is a great place and will keep you coming back!

Great place! Especially for brunch. The staff is friendly. The atmosphere is laid back. they always have the best music befitting the atmosphere. Really good food!
Posted by Jimmy on 01/26/2013
Great space, out of the way location (unless you live in the building), way overpriced for at best, decent food. Baked goods are very good. When I walked in to the restaurant, it had a great feel to it, very warm and friendly, with a rustic decor. The service was good, but the food was such a disappointment...I got so excited when I walked in, but the quality of the ingredients one could tell are only okay for premium pricing. I can't recommend for anything more than a beer or glass of wine.

The 'Original' Lemonade?
Photographs by Shimin Wong So, I had a theory. It was a very good theory, except it was ruthlessly and unscientifically disproved by a quick phone call to my grandparents. Not that it was a very precise notion to begin with. I had decided, against all the collective wisdom that is Wikipedia, that lemonade did not, indeed, originate in seventeenth-century Paris, but that it had been imported from the Old World—the "warm temperate to tropical regions" where native sugarcane thrives—namely Asia and Africa. You see, if lemonade consists of sugar (made from dehydrated sugarcane juice), water (to rehydrate the resulting sugar crystals), and lemon juice, then wouldn't sugarcane juice with lemon be one evolutionary generation younger?...

Posttraumatic Dissociation as a Mediator of the Effects of Trauma on Distressful Introspectiveness
Somer, Eli, Social Behavior and Personality: an international journal
This paper focuses on the stable personality trait of introspectiveness, exploring the relationship between introspectiveness and childhood trauma, dissociation and emotional distress. Ninety Israeli women were recruited from emergency counseling services and from academic and office employment settings. Pearson correlations between traumatic experiences and various dimensions of introspectiveness revealed significant links. Negative emotional and sexual experiences were the trauma variables that contributed most to this relationship, whereas a tendency to be aware of feelings toward family and about mortality were the dimensions of introspection that added most to this association. Prior trauma history, dissociation, introspectiveness, and emotional distress were significantly interrelated. The data from a path analysis performed suggest that introspectiveness may be better explained by the independent effect of dissociation rather than directly by trauma or by emotional distress. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed.
The transient state of attention to the self has been termed self-attention (Carver & Scheier, 1981), or self-awareness (Buss, 1980). This paper will focus on the more stable personality trait of introspectiveness and will explore its relationship to dissociation and childhood trauma. Introspectiveness alludes to the degree to which dispersed attention is directed inward, toward the self, or outward, toward the outside world (Mechanic, 1979). Experimental research suggests that introspective characterological tendencies are associated with more accurate self-descriptions (Gibbons, 1987) and with increased negative affect (Gibbons, 1990; Hansell & Mechanic, 1986). Pyszcynski and Greenberg (1987) challenged the implied directionality of these findings when they argued that people with depression have a negative self-scheme. Introspective people who are depressed may be more likely to selectively remember negative information about themselves.
Little is known about possible pathways to the development of introspective traits. Carver and Scheier (1981) offered some helpful theoretical perspectives on the subject. They regarded introspectiveness as part of a self-regulatory feedback cycle aimed at keeping the organism "on track" in its pursuit of important objectives. Our clinical observations led us to believe that the self-regulatory introspective process in clinical child-abuse survivor populations cannot be effectively terminated by withdrawal from the self-regulatory feedback cycle. Clinical populations of trauma survivors often display a particular form of withdrawal from painful awareness called dissociation that has been shown to have a posttraumatic etiology (e.g., Kluft, 1991; Spiegel & Cardena, 1991). Because dissociation involves the disintegration of normally integrated systems of the self, such as memory, thoughts, sensations, feelings, behavior and awareness, we posit that trauma-related dissociation may impede the self-regulatory feedback cycle thought to be associated with growth-promoting reflective introspection, leaving survivors trapped in a chronic, distressful introspective state. We also believe that psycho-traumatic injuries require the inward allocation of attention resources and that this inward allocation of resources can, in turn, interfere with adequate monitoring of the external environment, hence contributing to the experience of dissociation. In this study we examined the role of introspectiveness in the aftermath of trauma and its relationship to dissociation and emotional distress. We predicted (1) a positive relationship between past traumatization and introspective self-monitoring, possibly reflecting an inescapable effort to control painful reminders. We expected that introspectiveness would be associated with emotional distress and predicted that (2) past trauma, introspectiveness and dissociation would emerge as co-occurring phenomena, not unlike the contradictory symptom clusters in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (intrusiveness and numbing/avoidance). …

What's great about this diner is you can get breakfast at any time of the day. We stopped by for a late night meal and my wife had the french toast which was amazing, and I had an enormous cheeseburger delux for less than $20. Atmosphere was nice and cozy.

Well, we first sat down and the waiter knocked a whole glass of water on my pants, the table and the floor. They didn't even clean up properly. The menus are too big for the table, as well.

The newly remodeled Suburban looks great. I used to live in the area, and was around there for the first time in almost two years so I decided to stop in for a quick bite. I was suprised to see the changes. The outside maintained its traditional diner appearance with minimal renovations, but the inside is fully remodeled offering a cozy, intimate atmosphere. I felt like I was sitting at home. Seating was fast, despite the 25+ person line at the door. The service was above par for a diner around its busy time. We will go out of our way to be back again!

Its open 24 hours and the food is good no matter what time you go in!

Thanks to the volunteers who battle on
Published at 10:36, Thursday, 31 January 2013
SIR – WRVS volunteers have been battling through the snow and ice to continue to deliver services to older people and check that they are safe, warm and well.
Fear of slipping on icy paths and treacherous road conditions mean that older people often cannot get out and about and without our volunteers they may not see anyone else for days at a time.
I'd like to say a massive thank you to our volunteers across the region who have continued to deliver vital services like Meals on Wheels to the housebound, despite the bad weather.
Many volunteers have gone beyond the call of duty and have carried on when other services have stopped.
Thank you and keep up the good work!
Carol NEVISON
WRVS head of operations for the North East & Cumbria
SIR – I am a regular visitor to Whitehaven for holidays, but I was saddened by all the empty shops, all there seemed to be are charity shops, pound shops and buying gold. Your beautiful harbour had litter everywhere.
The roads were full of potholes and in the two weeks I was there I didn't see one policeman on the beat and not one road sweeper.
Could someone please tell me were the market has gone? On a Saturday I saw five stalls. What is happening?
The Dusty Miller pub is going to be demolished to make way for a car park! What is that big building not two minutes down from there? A multi-storey car park!
I also heard from a shopkeeper they are going to build more shops. Why, when you cannot fill the empty ones you have already? Would it not be better to drop the rental cost of the empty shops to get people in them?
The people of Whitehaven are always polite and helpful. Where is poor Whitehaven going? Slowly down the pan by the looks of things. Such a shame, it's a beautiful part of the country with great people.
I hate to think what it will look like in the next 12 months if things keep going the way they are.
What about a cinema? Come on, Copeland Council, the people of Whitehaven deserve more.
A visitor from Suffolk
SIR – I wonder how the Home Group housing association can justify ripping carpets and laminate flooring out of homes before reassignment to another tenant.
Why can't they set up a system where the new tenant can decide whether or not they'd like to keep them instead of using health and safety as a reason to remove perfectly good items?
Surely it would save money, even if the tenant had to sign something to accept the quality of what's left.
Namd and address supplied
HOME Group replies: "We're happy to leave carpets and laminate flooring in homes and allow new customers to decide if they want to keep them or replace them with something which better suits their taste. However, on occasion we do need to remove them for health and safety reasons.
"Typically for carpets this is if we fear they may be infested or in the case of laminate flooring if we need to inspect electric cables as part of our duty of care before we hand over a property."
SIR – I was particularly interested in an item in The Whitehaven News about an air crash in Wastwater Screes in January 1945.
While I cannot be of any help regarding the unfortunate crew members, I can perhaps enlighten you about the nature of the exercise, having experienced a similar situation as a telegraphist (wireless operator) airgunner, in a Grumman Avenger, based at Inskip, Lancs, during November-December, 1944.
Pilots and observers (navigators) received their initial training in Virginia, USA or Ontario, Canada. While telegraphist airgunners (Tags) were trained in RCAF Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, before being brought together as Grumman Avenger (3-man aircrews) in Jewston Maine, USA. They would then be posted to Inskip for final operational training before selection as replacements on aircraft of the Far Eastern or Pacific fleets.
Whilst at Inskip, because I was considered to be a 'local' lad, I was given the privilege (?) to plan a suitable day-time navigation exercise which would include simulated high glide and low level torpedo bombing over Western Lake District, ending in a 'visit' to Distington, before returning to Inskip.
In hindsight, I see now that I should be grateful that I was not responsible for the planning of night-time navigation exercises!
My planned route was starting at Mockerkin, down very low along Lowseswater, Crummock, Buttermere, over Honister Pass into Borrowdale and not too low over Derwentwater and Keswick before letting loose along Bassenthwaite and so to Distington for a flying visit.
On December 7, 1944, my best friend was killed in a night exercise north-west of Fleetwood in which his aircraft crashed into a merchant ship instead of an ill-identified target ship. The ship was carrying empty petrol cans from Iceland to Preston.
As I have scrapped my flying log book I don't know if I ever shared the same aircraft as the Wasdale crew, which were probably at Inskip at the same time as me.
SIR – I think the Obama and the USA administration statement is more than 100 per cent right, when they say that we in this country would be in isolation if we opt out of the European union.
Yes, we do invest lots of money in the EU, but we also get lots out by way of trade with Europe.
Besides this, since the EU was formed it has achieved peace within Europe, and better relations all round in Europe.
So I think a referendum to decide whether to opt out or otherwise could be a certain disaster for us. And as the old saying goes, "Leave well alone."
James TAYLOR
Mid Town Close, Distington
SIR – Once upon a time we joined a single market, which grew and grew. It became very, very large, and from within arose a huge bureaucratic monster which gobbled up and wasted the people's wealth.
The monster's powers became so great, the people could only watch, helpless, as their resources drained away.
Just when all seemed lost, a Prince arose, promising to listen to their cries. The people placed all their trust in him and lifted him up. But the monster, fattened with greed, cohorted with the Prince and tricked him with many worthless treats which clogged his ears.
This soon became clear to the people, who were so distressed they could not sleep at night. Then, one midnight hour, a sort of U appeared, lighting up the sky. It was joined to a KIP, like a UKIP. For the first time in years the people slept.
The next morning, they inquired what the sign should mean, and when it was revealed, all the people came together, and with one voice they cried... UKIP!
Soon, they were rescued them from the beast and secured a safe place inside the single market.
Refreshed and unfettered, their kingdom united, they became a beacon to many.
Isel, Cockermouth
SIR – It is surprising to see a new 17 strong policing unit being set up to carry out policing in and around Sellafield. This on top of the existing Civil Nuclear Constabulary and the normal Cumbria police service outside Sellafield.
The cost appears to be hush hush, but seems to fly in the face of the endless bleating about austerity from the politicians as they demolish other public services.
I know they say 'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth', but when the gift horse is we the taxpayer, maybe we should?
Dave SIDDALL
St Helens Street, Cockermouth
SIR – I am seeking any information on my grandfather's (Henry Morton) family. They were originally from Whitehaven. In fact my father (Joseph) was born there as well.
I do know that Henry had four brothers and two sisters. Henry and Sam were in South Africa for a while. John emigrated to the USA. The other two brothers – names unknown – went to Australia and India.
Henry and family emigrated to Canada, as did Sam's daughter Mabel.
The rest is a complete mystery to me, so I am hoping that somewhere amongst the Mortons in the area someone maybe able to fill in some blanks or provide some leads.

What was once a busy deli in Shamokin is now a vacant building, damaged by the flood.
Shaw's Meat Market and Deli has closed after more than 30 years in business.
At one time, Shaw's Meat Market and Deli brought in more than one million dollars a year, but the bad economy and thousands of dollars in flood damage forced the owner to shut down his family business.
"When you needed milk or something you didn't have to go far away. You just go and grab milk, bread, what ever you need," said Tammy Brocius of Shamokin.
She and other Shamokin residents were disappointed to see the deli close at the end of December. They said it's been a staple in the city of Shamokin for 31 years.
Owner Leon Shaw said the September flood severely damaged the store. There was six feet of water in the basement and $50,000 in damage. That, combined with the bad economy, forced him to shut down, something customers aren't happy about.
"I'd stop there in the mornings and get my iced tea for the garage here. The guys who work here would go there every day. Every Wednesday and Friday I'd go there for my long john," said Bob Gilley of Shamokin.
Shamokin residents tell Newswatch 16 the thing they will miss the most about Shaw's Deli is its location. The place is situated almost right in the middle of the city.
"I'm gonna really miss it. It was easy to just go out my door, go down and get a soda and come back home," said Betty Seibert.
"They were very clean. They were there to help you if you needed something," Brocius added.
There are other delis and butcher shops nearby that Shamokin residents can go to. The owner of Shaw's Meat Market and Deli said he hopes to sell the building.
