The Helper City Council will consider establishing one or more redevelopment districts in the city as part of its overall strategy for community planning.
The decision came after a presentation by county economic development director Delynn Fielding at the last council meeting.
RDAs are specially designated areas in cities or counties that earmark property taxes for specific improvements. The money in the fund accumulates as the result of increased property values in the district. Only the increases are committed to the district, with other taxing entities such as the school district receiving the same tax revenues as before. They get increased revenue when the RDA expires.

Forty years later, Lebert's son Stephan--also a journalist--tracked down these same men and women to find out what had become of them, how they remembered their fathers, and what effect the names they carried had on the paths they had taken. Lebert's account of his conversations, juxtaposed with his father's postwar interviews, gives us an extraordinary and unflinching look at how these individuals have coped with a horrifying heritage.
The stories that emerge are fascinating, surprising, and often disturbing: The young man who refuses military service and is granted conscientious objector status on the grounds that his father is imprisoned by the state -- as a Nazi war criminal. The boy who begins his education learning the principles of fascism, finishes it at a Catholic boarding school, and later becomes a priest and a missionary to Africa. The woman who was systematically refused work because she wouldn't use an alias, but who now lives in the suburbs under her husband's name and keeps secret contacts with other nostalgic Nazis. The journalist who writes a scathing magazine article reviling the father responsible for two million deaths, and is greeted with a barrage of letters from outraged Germans -- whatever your father may have done, the letters argue, fathers must always be honored.
This is a remarkable and illuminating addition to our knowledge of the Nazi past and of how this past continues to haunt the present. And it offers a chilling perspective on the way children live with the legacy of their parents' deeds.

The Bay City Rollers Story: Les McKeown's Legendary Bay City Rollers
The Bay City Rollers Story is a celebration of those hectic days of hit songs, touring, TV shows and the behind-the-scenes pandemonium that followed the band everywhere they went.
Renewed Les McKeown has come through the extreme highs and lows of life's great road and he is here to tell us all about it. All the hits songs are there and audiences are promised a fantastic night of fun and nostalgia as they take a trip back to those innocent days of growing up to the sounds of The Bay City Rollers.
Bay City Rollers Starring Les McKeown
The Rollers' first hit single Remember reached No. 6 in the UK charts in 1973; that was quickly followed by Shang-A-Lang, Summerlove Sensation and All Of Me Loves All Of You all hitting the Top 5. Bye Bye Baby was their first UK No. 1 in May 1975 followed by Give A Little Love in July. Their first album, Rollin', was the first debut album to top the charts. Between 1975 and 1978, they toured all over the world and played to sold out crowds in the across the world. Les McKeown put together a new band of talented musicians in the early 90s and today audiences are treated to all the old BCR hits reworked for the new millennium, alongside exciting new material.

The 5 Best New Milwaukee Power Tools
Patrick Dunn and his buddies first discussed opening a tool library in October 2009. Like many good ideas, it caught on fast. Aided by a $20,000 city grant and free use of an inventory-tracking computer system, the West Seattle Tool Library opened in June 2010. Today, it's a 220-member DIY center offering workshops and loaning from a stock of more than 1300 manual and power implements. The runaway favorite is the wood chipper. "People use it to turn brush into compost and mulch for their yards," Dunn says. With demand steadily increasing, he hopes to expand the library's collection with high-tech gadgets, such as a 3D printer, and "fun demolition stuff, like jackhammers."
"People come in wanting to build a chicken coop or a bat house," Patrick Dunn of the West Seattle Tool Library says. "The projects are random."
It started as a way for Thatcher Drew, a digital strategist who spends long hours in front of his computer, to get some exercise. The trees in a 12-mile stretch of parkland near his home in Bronxville, N.Y., were being choked to death by nonnative vines. So, one day in 1998, Drew waded into the thicket and started chopping. His friends and family joined the effort, and over time the group gained county government backing. Today, the Vinecutters hold biweekly winter training sessions, and up to 300 volunteers fan out on weekends to hack, chop and lop. With the vines in check, the trees, some more than 85 years old, are thriving. "It's a human-versus-nature drama," Drew says. "We can't let the vines take over the world."
You can volunteer to fight invasive species at the 540 national wildlife refuges scattered around the country (refugeassociation.org).

Jefferson County today will auction off the contents of the Jefferson County Home for the Aged, also known as Whispering Pines, to help offset the cost of demolishing the building sometime later this year.
Eddys Auction Service, Watertown, will be conducting the public auction, which will take place at 10 a.m. at 1240 Coffeen St.
Prospective buyers can inspect items two hours prior to the sale.
An extensive list of available items is available at http://wdt.me/DdMySv and includes everything from industrial kitchen equipment to a Wurlitzer organ.
You never know what youll find, said Laura C. Cerow, commissioner of the Jefferson County Department of Social Services.
On the eve of the auction, two long-time employees reflected on their years at the home.
Christal L. Deline, the former nursing supervisor, worked at the facility for 14 years, and Yvonne M. Pike, the former business officer, worked at Whispering Pines for 24 years before moving over to the Department of Social Services five years ago.
It was an amazing time, I think we both agree on that, Ms. Deline said.
Ms. Pike said that it was both the staff and the residents that made the home unique.
But the residents first and foremost, she said. For a lot of them we were family.
Now that makeshift family has been broken up, with residents and staff headed in opposite directions.
In April, approximately 45 Whispering Pines residents boarded buses for their new home at Samaritan Summit Village, a new 230,000-square foot complex located off Washington Street.
And, after staying on for two weeks to help clean out the facility, staff also departed, some to uncertain futures.
As the county moved out of providing adult care, it reduced full-time staff at the facility.
Near the end of 2012, only 15 full-time county employees remained, down from 30.
Faced with the loss of their seniority and benefits, a group of Whispering Pines employees petitioned the Jefferson County Board of Legislators at a meeting in November to find places for them within the county system.
Ms. Deline was one of the lucky ones who landed a job with the county. She now works in the Department of Social Services monitoring the medical records of children in foster care.
Two of the 15 remaining employees retired, one found a job with a local school district, and three others in addition to Ms. Deline stayed with the county.
Eight employees were laid off when the home closed in April. A 16th employee, who had not shown up for work for several months, was also technically laid off, according to Mrs. Cerow.
After helping residents pack and watching the final bus depart for the state-of-the-art facility, Ms. Deline said she and other staff took a break from loading trucks with belongings and sat outside in shock.
There were tears and silence, Ms. Deline said.
Walking back into the building was a strange experience, Ms. Deline said.
It seemed smaller. It was no longer full of life, she said. Now its just full of stuff.
The county has set aside $250,000 to demolish the building, according to County Administrator Robert F. Hagemann. The bidding process has not yet begun on the project.

About the software
- LinuxCNC (the Enhanced Machine Control) is a software system for computer control of machine tools such as milling machines and lathes.
- LinuxCNC is free software with open source code. Current versions of LinuxCNC are entirely licensed under the GNU General Public License and Lesser GNU General Public License (GPL and LGPL)
- LinuxCNC provides:
- several graphical user interfaces including one for touch screens
- an interpreter for "G-code" (the RS-274 machine tool programming language)
- a realtime motion planning system with look-ahead
- operation of low-level machine electronics such as sensors and motor drives
- an easy to use "breadboard" layer for quickly creating a unique configuration for your machine
- a software PLC programmable with ladder diagrams
- easy installation with .deb packages or a Live-CD
It does not provide drawing (CAD - Computer Aided Design) or G-code generation from the drawing (CAM - Computer Automated Manufacturing) functions.
- It can simultaneously move up to 9 axes and supports a variety of interfaces.
- The control can operate true servos (analog or PWM) with the feedback loop closed by the LinuxCNC software at the computer, or open loop with "step-servos" or stepper motors.
- Motion control features include: cutter radius and length compensation, path deviation limited to a specified tolerance, lathe threading, synchronized axis motion, adaptive feedrate, operator feed override, and constant velocity control.
- Support for non-Cartesian motion systems is provided via custom kinematics modules. Available architectures include hexapods (Stewart platforms and similar concepts) and systems with rotary joints to provide motion such as PUMA or SCARA robots.
- LinuxCNC runs on Linux using real time extensions. Support currently exists for version 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernels with real time extensions applied by RT-Linux or RTAI patches.
About the people
- A lot of people have worked and still work on LinuxCNC , most of them can be seen on the developers list;
- There is also a geographical map of some of our users (you can only view the map if you are signed in);
LinuxCNC and the Enhanced Machine Controller are non-commercial efforts. Many individuals have contributed vast amounts of time and effort to help advance the state of LinuxCNC .
Such is the nature of an open source project and you can get a feel for where the effort has come from by reading our mailing lists and examining the files committed to the SourceForge archives. We thank all the people who have contributed.
Additionally we would like to acknowledge the efforts of the following organizations that have helped:
- The National Institutes of Standards and Technology , US Department of Commerce - the original creators of the Enhanced Machine Controller software and a major continuing contributor to software development related to the Enhanced Machine Controller.
- Three people in the LinuxCNC project provide hosting and for this web site, forum, git repository, and the buildbot.

Wally Pfister, ASC, BSC has created an impressive body of work with director Christopher Nolan. Their collaboration began with Memento, continued with Insomnia and The Prestige, and now includes Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, and Inception, which brought home four Academy Awards® including a statue for Pfister's cinematography, as well as four other nominations including Best Picture. Pfister also earned BAFTA and ASC Awards for Inception.
This summer, Nolan's Batman series will reach its apogee with The Dark Knight Rises, billed as the final installment. As with the previous Batman films, as well as Inception, Nolan and Pfister used a grand canvas. A full hour of The Dark Knight Rises originated in the IMAX® film format, which uses 65mm film in a horizontal orientation to create stunning images with 10 times the negative area of standard 35mm film.
"IMAX is our version of immersive cinema – it's a more powerful visual medium than 3D and some of the other gimmicky formats out there," says Pfister. "Chris and I believe strongly in film as a superior format. It's not just a feeling – we know that there is a color depth, contrast and saturation that exists naturally with film. It doesn't have to be manipulated in. We think that filmmakers should have a choice. The Dark Knight brought in a billion dollars, so there is pressure to raise the ante."
Pfister, whose other credits include The Italian Job, Moneyball, and Laurel Canyon, believes that technology exists to serve the storytelling needs of the filmmakers, and that both benefit when the envelope is pushed. Indeed, that's how most major breakthroughs in filmmaking technology have come about. Previously, IMAX had been used almost exclusively for nature films and other documentaries. Pfister and Nolan set a goal of bring IMAX up to snuff as a narrative feature film production system. This process began with their previous films, but was pushed further with The Dark Knight Rises. Lens designer and optics wiz Dan Sasaki of Panavision helped out by designing a T2 50mm lens for the format, and IMAX cameras were modified to run quieter, with improved viewfinders and video tap capabilities, which are especially important when operating remotely, as is often the case on action shots.
"Dan Sasaki deserves an award for his amazing achievement in lens design," says Pfister. "Our lens of choice in IMAX format is often the 50mm, and without his new T2 lens, we couldn't have captured the nighttime cityscapes. It's a phenomenal lens, an engineering marvel, and it revolutionized what you can shoot in IMAX. In fact, without it, we couldn't have made the film the way we wanted to at all."
Eventually, every major action sequence and all aerials in the film were shot using the IMAX format. The rest of the film was done in 35mm anamorphic and posted using photochemical processes as is Pfister's standard procedure. He used KODAK VISION3 500T Color Negative Film 5219 on night and tungsten-balanced scenes, and KODAK VISION3 250D Color Negative Film 5207 in daylight situations.
For the 35mm anamorphic portions of the shoot, the cameras were Panavision Millennium XLs with C and E series lenses.
"The physical layers in film stock helps give you the natural, organic depth you see in filmed images," says Pfister. "The way it responds to light and the chemical reaction also plays a fundamental role, and it creates something unique. You are capturing the image exactly the way the lens see it, rather than manipulating the image in post to achieve the right contrast."
Pfister also made use of new lighting technology from ARRI, the LoCaster. The LED lamp's color temperature can be adjusted between 2,800 degrees Kelvin and 10,000 degrees Kelvin with the turn of a dial. Another feature allows control of the green/magenta aspect of its output. Gaffer Cory Geryak fashioned a 1X1 snoot for the lamp, and Pfister used it throughout the shoot as an eyelight for the three masked main characters, Batman, Catwoman and the villain, Bane.
"Getting light into the eyes of those characters, all of whom are covered except for the eyes, was the single most important illumination task in the entire picture," says Pfister.
The Dark Knight Rises releases worldwide this summer. Pfister is however already onto a new challenge: he is directing a major motion picture that will be co-executive produced by Nolan and partner Emma Thomas. The untitled Alcon Entertainment feature will consider a world where machines can transcend the abilities of the human brain, and depict the epic conflicts that result. The project is currently in the early stages of preproduction and casting, and Pfister has confirmed that the project will be shot on film.

As well as getting to know the children who are now living in the village and enjoying a much improved quality of life, they were able to help mark out the plot where the English Lakes orphan home will be built. This home, made possible by the fundraising efforts of the staff of English Lakes, will house 16 orphaned children and two sets of house parents. Whilst there, they were also able to see first-hand how the village is becoming self-sustaining with crops and livestock and their plans for extending the village.

Givi AF5107 Airflow Windscreen for BMW F700GS
This stylish, well-constructed replacement windscreen features improved height and shape with top-notch quality. Features clear tint and precision-cut shape. Overall height is 20.8", maximum width is 20", with approximately 4.75" of extension. Specific sliding wind-screen, transparent, complete with fitting kit.
The AIRFLOW is the most versatile Givi windshield to date.
The adjustable spoiler allows the rider on the fly to easily and quickly make adjustments. Made of transparent polycarbonate, the adjustable spoiler is infinitely adjustable along the 4.75" (12cm) of travel. Once the desired setting has been selected a simple and secure clamp will keep it in place.
The design of the AIRFLOW system creates an aerodynamic effect that eliminates turbulence, allowing for maximum protection from wind thus reducing rider fatigue.
Another important feature is the ability to reduce AIRFLOW to the rider to increase driving safety while raining: the "spoiler effect" reduces and, can at times, eliminate rain from collecting on the visor and reducing vision. During the warmer days the AIRFLOW spoiler, can easily be removed allowing travel with only the lower part of the windshield as well.

However - nothing will top the final assault in Fallout 3 for me. Playing support to that mechanical behemoth was one of my favorite gaming moments ever.
Anyhow - I beat BL2 last night. The end wasn't as good as the big moments with Jack and Angel earlier in the game, but it was cool. Some of it was really difficult alone.... frustrating. But if you play single player, you can approach the side missions with your own schedule and do what you want when you want to, as opposed to rushing through this or that because some other dude needs to go get dinner. And I admit I found a crevasse to snipe the big baddie from a mile away, rather than just getting my ass handed to me 50 times in a row. Then I went back in with three random onliners and crushed it in one try. Go figure. BL1 was way harder with others than BL2 is.
I don't know what I'm playing next, but this game was extremely satisfying.

So Wynand Mullins of New Zealand was wearing a t-shirt on an airplane flight that read: Hello! My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die. It is, of course, Mandy Patinkin's line from the movie, The Princess Bride.
But the stewardess was alerted by another passenger and she was not amused. So she asked him to change it.

Protests in Egypt: Your experiences
Bloody clashes around Egyptian Presidential palace
- sarahbrowngb, CNN iReport producer
After the huge peaceful protest yesterday against Morsi, today it turned to a bloody battle between the protesters and Morsi supporters (Islamists and Pro-Islamists mainly)
Islamists attacked the Sit-In, beat women, burn the tents and sleeping bags, extended barbed wires,
They swept the Sit-In, attacked the protesters, hunting them down with bats and banches (they cut off the trees and throwing stones)
They also used Rifle cartridges, tear gases and knives, (Ahmed Doma-political activist and oppositionist) has been attacked by Islamic thugs, they stabbed him in the face with a knife which caused 15 stiches wound.
Islamists thugs beat the protesters who said No for Morsi dictatorial decree, exactly what happed during the Egyptian revolution, when Mubarak sent his thugs to attack the protesters in Tahrir Sq.
Now,Morsi is a textbook Islamic fascist, who eliminates the opposition or unleash his thugs to attack them.
It's remarkable that no one of the police or the army involved in this battle, it's suspicious absence of security forces in this critical area (the presidential palace diameter.)
Situation in Egypt is getting uglier by time.

EUROSITES, Room: Brussels
George V 28, Avenue George V, 75008 Paris
Save the dates and attend OWF'12.
Community Summit details and abstracts: (to be completed progressively)
Speaker: Lars Kurt, Xen, Citrix.
Title: Cloud Computing and the Xen Community
Abstract: The Xen Hypervisor open source project was founded in 2003 as a direct result of Cambridge Universities XenoServer research project that defined Cloud Computing as we know it today. In 2006 Amazon Web Services built their business on top of Xen, followed by Slicehost and many other cloud and hosting providers. In other words: the Xen project provided the technology that enabled many multi-million dollar businesses to thrive. However, until recently cloud and service providers have not been active members of the Xen community. This talk will look at characteristics of the Xen community, its evolution over time, consider licensing and related topics. We will also look at incentives to engage service providers and help them become more active members of your open source community.
Speaker: Michael Meeks
Title: LibreOffice: turning vinegar into wine
Abstract: Come and hear the story of how the development community around LibreOffice was created from the ashes of the OpenOffice.org project. Hear some of the lessons we learned from both projects, and the ways we use to ensure that corporations play a constructive role with an interest in a diverse developer community. Hear a detailed rational for our release process, and how it helps to reduce problems around conflicting goals. Hear about our progress to date, see some community diversity metrics we track, and more. Finally enjoy a gratuitous plug for our new features and functionality.
Michael is a Christian and enthusiastic believer in Free software. He very much enjoys working for SUSE where as the Linux Desktop Architect he tries to understand and nudge the direction of our Linux investment. He has appreciated working on various pieces of infrastructure and applications over the years: from GNOME office, through component technologies, to Evolution, Accessibility, MeeGo, and latterly LibreOffice much of the time. Prior to this he worked for Quantel gaining expertise in both hardware and software for real time on-line AV editing systems.
Speaker: Ross Turk
Title: The Dangers of Apathetic Abstraction
Abstract: What began as a vague shape on a diagram (indicating something so incomprehensibly vast the diagrammer decided against trying to draw it) has changed everything. Yesterday, the network was out of your control and too complicated to understand; now your entire operation is. But one thing hasn't changed: you probably don't care how most of it works, just that it continues to. Every day, scores of excited entrepreneurs build new companies on cloud infrastructure without a second thought. Every day, established companies relinquish their data centers. The reason is clear: it's far easier to build something amazing when you can stop paying attention to what makes large portions of it work. Abstraction is not having to worry how underlying technology functions; apathetic abstraction is not caring. This session will discuss how to avoid the danger of relying on something you don't control and don't understand.
Ross Turk is Vice President of Community for Inktank, responsible for building a strategic relationship with users, contributors, and the open source community. Ross brings more than 15 years of experience creating software, managing complex IT systems, and helping companies understand and serve developers. Before joining Inktank, Ross managed developer communities for Talend, Alcatel-Lucent and SourceForge.net, the world's largest open source community. In the more distant past, Ross ran the engineering team for SourceForge and provided architectural leadership.
Speaker: Leslie Hawthorn, Red Hat
Title: Compromise and Collaboration: Engaging FOSS Contributors in the Age of Cloud Computing
Abstract: As FOSS communities look to bring on new contributors, we're faced with a fundamental challenge - our new would-be users, contributors and advocates are largely operating in a world of non-free software. While the fact that most folks are using proprietary software - and that FOSS advocates would prefer they use FOSS - is nothing new, the rise of cloud computing puts a different spin on the problem. The ease of use promised by software as a service applications, the ubiquity and popularity of non-free social networks and the great increase in non-free real-time communications tools presents us with a more difficult use case: how do we convince folks of the value of FOSS when they expect things to "just work" and want to "hang out" where their friends are? In this talk, Leslie Hawthorn will explore the tensions between effectively engaging our audience of would-be converts to FOSS while maintaining the values of software freedom. Specifically, she will explore the activist roots of the free software movement and how these activist principles can be channelled to effectively amplify the value of FOSS amongst users of cloud services and other non-free tools. Last but not least, she will discuss some libre tools that can be used in our community outreach activities, allowing us to effectively engage with our audience's user experience expectations while preserving software freedom in our discourse.
An internationally known community manager, speaker and author, Leslie Hawthorn has over 10 years experience in high tech project management, marketing and public relations. In March 2012 she joined Red Hat, Inc., where she is responsible for Community Action & Impact on the company's Open Source and Standards team. Prior to Red Hat, she served as Outreach Manager at Oregon State University's Open Source Lab and as a Program Manager for Google's Open Source Team, where she managed the Google Summer of Code Program, created the contest now known as Google Code In and launched the company's Open Source Developer Blog.
Speaker: Dave Neary, Red Hat
Title: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Cultivating Empathy in Increasingly Disconnected Communities
Abstract: With the advent of communities which are distributed around the world, and increasingly with the professionalisation of Open Source development, we have seen the human bonds between participants in Open Source projects weaken. As projects grow, and we hit the limits of Dunbar's Numbers, newcomers have a higher bar to clear to become part of the group, and our sense of belonging decreases. Project leaders have tried many approaches to mitigate the effect, but more and more our tools insulate us from human contact and turn collaboration problems into co-operation problems. What can we do to ensure that our community members keep in mind that behind every user name is a person, that the sum of our interactions defines us as a community? In short, what can we do to encourage empathy in contributors

37% of Europeans would like to be their own boss Publié le: 09/01/2013, Dernière mise à jour: 10/01/2013
"In the worst economic crisis since 1945, we should look back to the roots of the economic miracle in Europe after the war. It was based on entrepreneurship and bold decisions taken by entrepreneurial personalities. I encourage more Europeans to follow their example, take the plunge and become their own boss. If we want to stimulate growth in Europe, we must start with SMEs. We will do our best to ensure that the Europe's enormous entrepreneurial potential can be fully exploited."
Almost 4 out of 10 Europeans would like to be their own boss if they could. If this potential could be tapped, millions of new businesses could be added to the almost 21 million small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the EU.
Various obstacles prevent Europeans from opting for self-employment, in particular fear of bankruptcy and risk of irregular income. The Flash Eurobarometer "Entrepreneurship in the EU and beyond", presented by European Commission Vice President Antonio Tajani at SME Summit in Cyprus, also highlights that in 2009 more Europeans (45%) wanted to be self-employed. This is a drop of 20% within three years, which reflects the current economic situation with its less promising business prospects.
Yet there are still millions who consider becoming their own boss, driven by the prospects of personal independence, better income and freedom to choose the place and time of work. To unlock the enormous potential of millions of would-be entrepreneurs, the European Commission will launch a European Entrepreneurship Action Plan to boost entrepreneurship at all levels, aiming to bring growth and employment back to Europe.
Desirability of self-employment - large differences between Member States
The main results of the Eurobarometer survey can be summarised as follows:
- 37% of EU respondents would rather be self-employed, while a majority (58%) would prefer to be an employee. Self-employment is generally more popular among non-EU countries.
- In 2009, 45% wanted to be self-employed. Europeans stress the lack of financial resources as well as their lack of skills as reasons for not regarding self-employment as a feasible career, not to mention the current economic climate with less promising business prospects.
- Lithuania and Greece are most interested: Respectively 58% and 50% of respondents would rather be self-employed. Self-employment is least popular in Sweden (22%), Finland (24%), Denmark (28%) and Slovenia (28%).
- Men and young people (42% and 45%) are more interested in being self-employed than women (33%) or older people (36%).
- 43% of EU respondents say they would be afraid of the risk of going bankrupt (-6 points compared with 2009 survey), while 33% say that the risk of irregular income would make them afraid of setting up a business (-7 points).
- Self-employment is more popular in many non-European countries, namely China (56%), Brazil (63%) and Turkey (82%).
- In the US and Asia preference for self-dependence decreased, too: In China from 71% to 56% since 2009, while the preference for working as an employee has increased from 28% to 32%. In the US the preference for employee has notably increased from 37% to 46%.
- Several reasons hold back Europeans to start up a business: 43% of EU respondents say they would be afraid of the risk of going bankrupt, while 37% say that the risk of losing their property/home would concern them the most. Other difficulties are lacking financial support and complex administrative procedures. More than 50% think that it is difficult to obtain sufficient information on how to start a business.
- Key considerations are taken when starting a business: 87% of Europeans who have started a business says that having an appropriate idea was an important factor, as well as having the necessary financing for 84% of them. Other important factors are appropriate business partners, role models, addressing an urgent social or ecological need and dissatisfaction with their previous work situation.
- New entrepreneurs are positively percieved: 87% of Europeans agree that entrepreneurs are job creators and 79% that they create new products and services which benefit the whole society.

About the Eurobarometer Survey on entrepreneurship
For over a decade the European Commission has been studying the development of entrepreneurship in EU Member States. Flash Eurobarometer No 354 "Entrepreneurship in the EU and beyond" covers the 27 countries currently comprising the EU as well as 13 countries from outside the EU. Several of these non-EU countries are included here for the first time, namely Brazil, Israel, India and Russia.

According to Human Kinetics, the premier publisher for sports and fitness, almost 50% of people who made New Year's resolutions to lose weight and get into shape stopped going to the gym by March 1st. MSNBC quotes an even higher statistic: Whereas health clubs are packed in January, they say, more than 75% of newbies will have called it quits by the end of March.
And yet every year, we typically make the very same resolution: to go the gym, lose weight, tone up, get healthy, and then some – even though most of us repeatedly fail by March (and that's if we're relatively persistent). Psychologists Polivy and Herman (2000) have coined the term "false-hope syndrome" to refer to this phenomenon best manifested by attempted and broken New Year's resolutions. They say that individuals persist in attempting to change themselves despite repeated failure due to an overconfidence that includes feelings of control and optimism (e.g., the twin beliefs that losing weight is easy and fast), and expectations for an unrealistically high payoff from triumphant self-change (e.g., the assumption that changes in weight loss will catalyze major rewards in other, unrelated areas of life). Inevitably, when such unrealistic expectations are not met, individuals often experience disappointment, discouragement, and the perception of oneself as a failure. As these negative emotions build, a sort of Catch-22 results, such that the self-control required for eventual success falters and behavior spirals out of control.
Researchers therefore advise that, in order to create real hope (instead of false hope), we must be accurate in our initial assessments of the difficulty of self-change, commit to realistic goals and expectations, and hone a set of coping skills that build resiliency in the face of normal setbacks. So, with regards to the gym, for starters – get back in there! Understand that weight loss and getting healthy will not happen overnight and instead of shooting for a giant amount of pounds lost, set smaller, more attainable goals (i.e., eating a salad at lunch, running one mile tonight), and strive to attain a few each week. Moreover, if you miss a goal or fall short of an expectation – a minor failure should not set you completely off-track. Give yourself a little pep talk and tell yourself you won't become a March 1st fitness statistic.
Don't become a March 1st fitness statistic
Flipping the switch is only the first step

For design lovers, presentation is nearly everything. So when looking at Restaurant magazine's 2012 list of the world's best restaurant design, it only makes sense to compare the plates with the restaurant in which they're served.
For three years in a row, Copenhagen's Noma tops the list (above). Who would expect anything other than restaurant design perfection from this Danish icon? Noma's cuisine (below) is a colorfully chic take on Nordic cuisine utilizing foraged flowers, fungi and sea vegetables, but the design is fundamentally Scandinavian in it's functionalism. In a fun nod to the past, faux pelts drape over the modern chairs of the dining room (above).
At the number two spot for the best restaurant design is El Celler de Can Roca, Barcelona, where the wine list reigns supreme as evidenced by the modern cellar design (below).
At El Celler de Can Roca, landscape design and plate design have a funny way of mimicking one another (below).
Ranked third in the world is another Spanish restaurant, Mugaritz. Housed in a rustic farmhouse. It flaunts some adventurous cuisine and design details, such as this towel station outside the restrooms (below).
With a dark wooded ceiling, contemporary wall lamps cantilevered from the beams, and modern sculptures on the table, the dining room (below) is elegant yet restrained. Try one of these contemporary wall lamps to ge the look.
Dishes at Mugaritz show similar sculptural restraint, as with this plate of violet ice cream (below).
Put the world's top three restaurants together and you've got some unforgettable flavors set amid some great design.
Set of 2 Laine Wood and Faux Leather Dining Chairs, Sonneman Contra Perno Satin Nickel Boom Arm Floor Lamp, Silver Ribbon Twist Sculpture On Stand
Now we might not all be Michelin star chefs, but at least it's possible with the help of a few simple modern designs to re-create the look of the world's best restaurants at home.

Make Creative does modern office design and they do it well! When Make Creative was called to create a generous and innovative workspace for a collaborative team, they hit the nail on the head through the transformation of this industrial warehouse. The design of Unit B4 office spaces in Sydney, Australia was named Best Workplace under 1000sqm at the Interior Design Excellence Awards.
The design was based on the the idea of interconnected elements within the open space. This allows the interior to become a series sculptural features woven together which fill the open space with multiple blocks and voids.
The unique use of modern lighting in this space makes a huge statement. The larger pendant lights over the communal table are encased in a sculptural wood frame which not only defines the space but does an amazing job of filling the void. While the black wall sconces look as if they are crawling off the wall in the little red niche. Modern wall sconces are always a great way to add a sculptural element to your space.
Holtkoetter Bernie Turbo Bronze LED Swing Arm Wall Lamp
A good client truly is a blessing and when Made Creative was asked what the best part was about this project they replied, "We were lucky enough to have been given a lot of trust and freedom with this project… good clients ready to take a risk on an unexpected solution." When a client is open to taking risks talent shines through! Even if it's something as simple as using pops of red on the modern barstools or hanging lights in an unusual way these small details really help make a space special.
The simple pendant lighting floats through the space to create glistening bursts of lights. Clusters of modern mini pendant lights hanging at different levels creates an organic feel and is a bit unexpected.
Clear Glass with Chrome Mini Halogen Pendant
Such a functional and practical solution for a creative office environment that I'm sure many of you would love to work in! I know we would!

Paper art. It can be so much more than ink or graphite drawings on flat white sheets. Folded, constructed or crumpled (or even lacquered as in David Jang's paper towel floor installation pictured above), paper becomes a sculptural goldmine.
Eva Black's "Folded" installation is a sculpture consisting of approximately 3,500 folded paper pyramids that, when combined, looks like an origami quilt.
The entire piece is constructed from found, gifted and collected paper Black culled from old art projects, paper bags, bookstores and more.
A scaled down, terrarium sized piece, reminiscent of Black's work, is this fun sculpture by Mark from the London based Present and Correct.
For a less geometric and more organic paper art, check out this installation of more than 100 paper sculptures by artist Peter Gentenaar. Floating throughout the church of Saint Riquier, close to Abbeyville, Somme, Northern France, the sculptures are floral in form and jelly-like in their weightlessness.
My favorite paper artist ever (and a personal friend) is Olga Lah, who I first discovered while sitting on a jury for the Los Angeles Art Association. She installed this amazing and adaptable piece in the entryway of the 2012 Palm Springs Art Fair which took place last February during the city's vaunted Modernism Week.
Most fine art is archival, it will stand the test of time. Paper often contains acid, which breaks the material and its colors down over time. While some of the art above is archival, not all of it (especially in the case of Eva Black's found paper) will hold up over time. Lighting plays a big role in the display and preservation of art. Halogen track lighting is preferred by many galleries, as it provides a full spectrum of white light, is low in harmful UV rays, and is adjustable so you can fine tune the lighting of your art work. For sculptural pieces, you may want to try recessed lighting overhead.
Last are some sculptural works nearly impervious to fading. Check out these complex, monochromatic origami-ish paper pieces by artist Matt Shlian.
Paper as sculptural fine art is only the beginning. Origami is increasingly being explored, in everything from space flight to nano-technologies, as a means to pack more stuff into less space. And for most design junkies, packing cool, beautiful forms into small spaces is what we're all about.

LEGO building blocks have inspired generations of young builders. In recent years, they've also become an object of affection for grown adults looking to indulge their childhood dreams of becoming an architect.
In 2008, LEGO introduced the LEGO Architecture Series, a series of building block sets that replicate some of the world's most iconic structures. Included are a number of modern residences that would be of particular interest to fans of modern design.
There's Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House:
There's Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater:
And there's even Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye:
The LEGO design fad has definitely taken hold. Earlier this year in fact, Dwell Magazine and LEGO joined forces to stage a contest in which participants were asked to create a Mid-century Modern home using the blocks (pictured at the top of this post and below).
Put any of these sets together, literally, and you've got the best in mid-century houses. Unfortunately these models aren't large enough to fit our favorite lighting fixtures and furniture. For a real home, we recommend modern black leather chairs, Danish wood tables or credenzas, and any of our favorite arc designer floor lamps.
For a fraction of the cost of real construction, it's fun to fantasize for a moment about building one of the world's most recognizable modernist residences.

When staying at a hotel, sometimes it's the little things that count. Let's take a look at some worldly examples of great hotel design that doesn't overlook the details.
Ever since it's opening, I've been drawn to the windows in the public spaces of the Mandarin Oriental in Barcelona (above). There's a playful voyeuristic quality to these ultra chic peep-spots.
The fun facade at the Inntel Hotel in Amsterdam (above) is postmodern meets traditional Dutch meets Rubik's cube.
The pencils at the Andaz Hotel in London are made from recycled CD jewel cases (above). I'm guessing they now offer iPod docks in the rooms. The key to great hotel design is not just in the architectural details, but also the accessories that would normally seem unimportant, like a pencil.
The Waterhouse along Shanghai's Sound Bund (above) keeps the crumbling concrete walls of this former Japanese military bunker intact. It's a very real respite from the otherwise hyperreal development in the city that surrounds it. Raw materials and designer desk lamps can give an organic feel to any space.
Artcraft Baby Swan White Chandelier
The Treehouse Hotel (below) sits just 35 miles south of the Arctic Circle in Sweden. Suspended from trees and featuring mirrored sides, it's virtually invisible from the ground.
Not all the rooms feature a mirror facade though, and inside there's a feast of minimalist decor (below). Loungy, white seating is a fun way to keep a place minimal and modern.
Sonneman Tetra Gloss White Floor Lamp
Designers and graphic designers have to love the Pantone Hotel in Brussels (below), an homage to the color specialists in seven distinct hues.
And sometimes it's the smallest thing that counts: a drink on the top floor at the end of the day. For fans of the Sofia Coppola film Lost in Translation, the New York Bar at the Park Hyatt Tokyo (below) is the perfect place to re-create your own Bill Murray Suntory whiskey moment.
With a view looking across Tokyo and some of the best cocktails in the world, it's worth every yen. And trust me, you'll spend quite a few.
With so many options, hopefully you're booking a trip and heading to see one of these extremely cool hotel designs.

I asked for quiet moments in your heart on Christmas morn, for a special time to celebrate the Savior who was born…I asked for friends to send their best that you might know they care. I asked for peace and love and hope, and I know God heard my prayer.

Christmas Cards
By Budget Shopper
from Columbus, GA
The Christmas cards were beautiful. But it takes too long to receive the products. When the cards were received the incorrect size envelopes were sent. Therefore I had to go out and buy some Christmas cards from the store in order for them to be sent out on time. I finally received the correct size envelopes but I had already purchased other cards and mailed them.
Bottom LineNo, I would not recommend this to a friend
I love the prayer on these!

MGH Hotline 9.17.10 The MGH recently became the fifth site nationwide to participate in the study of an innovative rotary blood pump for late-stage heart failure patients.
MGH joins study of new heart-assist device
The MGH recently became the fifth site nationwide to participate in the study of an innovative rotary blood pump for late-stage heart failure patients. The blood pump, known as the Levacor Ventricular Assist Device (VAD), uses magnetic levitation to fully suspend its spinning rotor. The pump's design optimizes blood flow and reduces wear and tear.
The Levacor VAD study team at the MGH includes members of the MGH Transplant and Heart centers: Thomas MacGillivray, MD, the team's leader; Bruce Rosengard, MD; Josh Baker, MD; Stephanie Ennis, NP; Jordan Shin, MD, PhD; Stephanie Moore, MD; and John Drake and his team of cardiovascular technicians. The team successfully implanted their first device in August and another this past week.
"Mechanical circulatory assist devices continue to evolve and improve," says MacGillivray. "These mechanical heart pumps offer great hope to our patients suffering from heart failure. It is very exciting to be able to offer our patients the very latest therapies which keep them safe and allow them to thrive while they wait for a heart transplant."

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
While it is hard to believe for many that Bruin Point Elementary School has outgrown its current building (which opened in 2007), nonetheless, the growth of the East Carbon/Sunnyside area student population has crowded that building beyond what anyone expected. Consequently, after months of study and a request for proposals concerning an anticipated expansion, and a special board meeting held on Tuesday morning, the Carbon Board of Education selected MGM Construction to do the work beginning this summer. Last September the issue of Bruin Point's student capacity was first addressed when the board discussed the fact that while the building was designed to hold approximately 123 students, the count this year has been about 150.
"The main concern is that the facility is small," said Barry Deeter during that meeting, noting that the building was also inadequate in some other respects as well. The restrooms in the building and the cafeteria had proven to be inadequate for the student population. At the time a feasibility study was approved and when that study came back it addressed some of those inadequacies.
According to Deon Kone, the director of buildings and grounds for the district, initially five contractors said they wanted to do the work on the building. Then two companies dropped out and three were left, but one of a local temp hire to do the building walk through (a physical examination of the facility and the proposed work to be done). That company was dropped out of the bidding and finally there were two left.
At the regular monthly board meeting last Thursday when the company that would get the work was supposed to be named, there was debate about which company to select, because one company was so well known for their good work within the district and the other was a relatively unknown entity. However the less known company's bid was much lower ($592,000 vs. $714,000) to do the work.
"As we have evaluated both the contractors there is not a lot of difference except the price," Kone told the board. "Westland Construction was the higher bidder, but they were also the ones that originally built Bruin Point. MGM Construction has a presence in Utah, but most of their work has been done for Nevada school districts such as Elko and Eureka County. The problem I have is that we know the quality of the work of Westland, but I haven't been able to get all the references I need on MGM yet."
Westland had also done the remodel at Helper Junior High and at the district office when it was converted from the middle school.
At the time the board and administration had quite a discussion about the possible ramifications of either taking a known company with a much higher bid or taking an unknown with a lower price. Deeter was concerned with a challenge from the lower bidder if the district picked Westland. Others were concerned about going with a relatively unknown company even if their price was lower.
Missy Bueno, the principal at Bruin Point said that she had really liked working with Westland when they built the building. She also pointed out no matter who did the work some of the summer activities the school normally holds would be curtailed.
But board member Ruby Cordova said that she had concerns about Westland.
"I have a little heartburn because of some of what I heard about the company when they were building the school," she said. "There was problems with a lot of junk around and there was some reports that someone from the company brought alcohol onto the campus."
Principal Bueno then said she had not heard of any such problems, but was concerned after hearing Cordova's comments. However, Kone said that he knew that the company supervision would never allow alcohol around the school, and if that had been a problem they would have removed the subcontractors or workers involved.
Kone then suggested that he be given time to get the call backs from Nevada school district officials concerning references on MGM Construction. But he also reminded the board that because of construction schedules, a decision needed to be made within a week. That's when the board decided on the extra Tuesday morning meeting.

CANTON A Brasher woman pleaded guilty in St. Lawrence County Court Thursday for her role in an October 2011 burglary in Massena.
Micheline M. Cogdill, 24, of 511 Hurley Road, admitted to charges of second-degree attempted burglary in connection with the theft of a jewelry box filled with rings, necklaces, watches, charms and earrings from the Liberty Avenue residence of Tammy Stark.
Ms. Cogdill and another woman, Heather R. Deragon, 19, of 32 Howard St., Massena, were charged by Massena police with felony counts of second-degree burglary and fourth-degree grand larceny in the case. Ms. Deragon also was charged with second-degree criminal trespass.
Ms. Deragon pleaded guilty to fourth-degree grand larceny during an Aug. 7 appearance in County Court. She was due to be sentenced in October, but the proceeding was adjourned to resolve halfway house and public assistance issues. The St. Lawrence County District Attorneys Office on Thursday said that records showed Ms. Deragons sentencing was still pending.
Ms. Cogdills sentencing is set for March 7.
In other County Court action:
Martin E. Maxwell, 52, of 391 Willard Road, Massena, pleaded guilty on Thursday to second-degree criminal mischief and second-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury, both class D felonies.
The Louisville man was arrested after he slammed his truck into the rear of a vehicle belonging to a man seeing his estranged wife on Jan. 28. That vehicle was slammed through the garage, striking a parked 1987 Chevrolet Corvette that was pushed through the rear wall of the garage.
Sentencing for Mr. Maxwell also has been scheduled for March 7.

With nearly 30 players being replaced due to graduation, the Borger Bulldog football team will be one that will have several new faces at the varsity level when it opens the 2011 season with the Canyon Randall Raiders at Bulldog Stadium on August 26.
However, the team will return several outstanding players from this year's squad, with a couple already attracting the attention of some colleges around the country.
That includes now senior linebacker Miles McKinney, who has made the most of his appearances in various football camps, which has helped him to start gaining the attention of several division one universities.
The list of universities that have shown some interest in McKinney include Southern Methodist, Houston, Colorado St., Wyoming, Texas Tech, Stanford and Northwestern State in Louisiana.
After being a part of a great Bulldog defense in the fall of 2010, McKinney took part in an Offense-Defense Camp's Elite Camp in Myrtle Beach, S.C. in January. McKinney received the invite to the camp in South Carolina after earning defensive MVP honors at the Offense-Defense Camp in Dallas last summer.
In March, McKinney, along with with other Borger Bulldog teammates Ty Brown and Fred McKinney, took part in the Nike Combine in Houston with Miles doing well enough to get invited to the Nike Football Training Camp. He was taught how to play his position in more detail by several college and professional coaches and players.
The performance at the Nike camp earned McKinney a chance to be given a positive review on the website www.zoneready.net.
McKinney continued to take part in various camps throughout the spring, including the Rivals.com Five Star Academy Next Level Athlete camp in Dallas that exposed him to some of the various national recruiting services including Scout, Rivals, Fox and The Old Coach.
McKinney's performance in Dallas led him to be mentioned in the Rivals.com recap of the camp on their website.
In discussions with Miles' dad Kelly McKinney, the young athlete and his family know that a lot of work still needs to be done this summer in various camps, as well as on the field this fall, in order to have the doors open to potentially play division one football.
K.McKinney said in talks with Northwestern St. Coach Bradley Peveto, the coaches' evaluation of Miles has him at a low to mid-level division one player. According to the Rivals.com article, Northwestern St. has already made McKinney an offer to play football for the university.
Peveto played along side Miles' uncle Kevin McKinney at SMU in the 1980's.
With the family ties to SMU, it makes it easy to understand why the Mustangs are one of the favorites of the McKinney family, if given the opportunity by the school.
With a lot of football to be played between now and signing day in February, it is too soon to know where McKinney potentially could end up playing college ball in the not to distant future. But there is no question the journey McKinney and the other good Bulldog players take this fall will be a fun one for local football fans to watch.

Fine Print As Yet Unwritten, But the Gist is Clear for OTC DerivativesOct 4th, 2011 | Filed under: Alpha Strategies, Hedge Fund Industry Trends, Hedge Fund Operations and Risk Management, Hedge Fund Regulation, Today's Post
Clearing within ten days after the transaction (T+10) was once the norm, though it now seems archaic. Clearing overnight or in a once-a-day cycle will in the years ahead become equally unsatisfactory. It may soon "become standard practice for risk managers and eventually traders to demand proof that their trades have been cleared mere seconds after execution."

Impetigo Treatment
Mupirocin (Bactroban, Bactroban Nasal, Centany)
For the treatment of impetigo, a small amount of the ointment is applied to the affected area, usually three times daily. The area may be covered with a sterile gauze dressing. If there is no improvement in 3-5 days, the physician should be contacted to re-examine the infected area. For other skin infections, the cream is applied to the affected area 3 times a day for 10 days, and the doctor should be contacted as well if there is no improvement after 3-5 days.
