WFP Helps Reclaim Land And Livelihoods In Rural Tunisia
In rural central and western Tunisia many families struggle to put food on the table every day. As many as 78 percent of the population can barely afford to produce or buy their food. With climate change making its fierce mark on the area, WFP and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) designed a joint project to assist small-scale farmers and help them establish small agricultural businesses.

In the winter, a good knit is practically indispensable (along with hot cocoa and marshmallows, if you ask us!). Several stylish trailblazers seem to agree with our sentiment (about knits, though quite possibly, the hot cocoa as well). Lately, we've noticed a bevy of knits cropping up on sartorially savvy ladies, like Rihanna and Olivia Palermo, in the form of cozy cardigans, chunky turtlenecks, and even dazzling dresses. Allow us to show you exactly How They Wear this versatile cold-weather trend!
On the surface, one-piece knits appear as basic get-up-and-go wardrobe essentials. But as Kate Bosworth and Rihanna demonstrate, complementary pieces and high-impact accessories can elevate a knit sweater from elemental to en vogue. For example, Bosworth (top row, left), an expert in the school of nonchalant layering, wore a semi-sheer jumper over a printed Mulberry dress from the Pre-Fall 11 collection. Her easy-breezy outfit, perfect for touching down at LAX last September, is accented with a JewelMint Empress Necklace ($30), Mulberry Harriet Clutch Wallet ($550) in Black Glossy Buffalo, and Mulberry Leopard Print Clipper ($775) in Black & Birds Nest Printed Scotchgrain. Though Rihanna (top row, center) also opted for a dark knit, her look exuded an edgier vibe. Leaving Japanese restaurant Nozomi in London last spring, Rihanna injected her Alexander Wang Contrasting Wool Knit Turtle Neck ($425) with her own personal brand of swagger: slightly baggy, distressed jeans; a twisted bandanna serving as a headband; a pop of bright led lipstick; and Salvatore Ferragamo's Houndstooth Printed Genuine Python Pumps ($950). We love how even a basic item, in this case a black sleeveless knit, looks fashion-forward after undergoing the Rihanna treatment! We spotted another standout sweater snapped on blogger Peony Lim at Paris Fashion Week S/S 12; Lim paired a cropped Bamford turtleneck over a longer Zara shirt and Zara mini skirt, all in similar shades of cream, white, and beige (bottom row, right). While her chunky cable-knit jumper would make a fine outfit paired with simple jeans, Lim's creative play on hem lengths and her artful mix of colors and textures offer an innovative way to wear one-piece knits.
However lovely pullover knits may be, they're not the only way to go. Both Dree Hemingway and Olivia Palermo recently shrugged on knit cardigans with stylish flair. At Chanel's Numeros Prives opening night party in Las Vegas last weekend, Hemingway (top row, right) wore an unbuttoned burnt orange cardigan over the label's Yellow Crepe Dress ($2735, 800.550.0005) from Resort 12. The stunning model's vibrant ensemble, grounded with solid brown accessories like a narrow leather belt and pumps, is an ideal day-to-night look. Meanwhile, Palermo (bottom row, center) effused polished elegance at the Ermenegildo Zegna show at Milan Fashion Week F/W 12 in early January. Her Agnona beige cardigan, featuring generous fox fur trim and oversized buttons, along with the label's silk blouse, houndstooth trousers, and brown leather belt from F/W 12 are jazzed up with a splash of animal print, thanks to Mulberry's Signature Pumps ($625) in Camel Leopard Haircalf.
If you've got the style chutzpah to tackle a head-to-toe knit look, then Giovanna Battaglia's subtly shimmery floor-length number will surely resonate with you. Last November, the editor/stylist (bottom row, left) sported a belted Jo No Fui Long Knit Lurex Dress ($535) and Sara Battaglia Autari bag ($1410) at the Barneys New York celebration of Gaga's Workshop in New York. The glimmering metallic threads woven throughout the ribbed fabric lend the dress a spark of glamour, making it an exceptionally interesting and chic eveningwear choice.
Should you have the urge to outfit yourself in all things knitted after reading today's story, we selected a range of high-to-low picks, including semi-sheer pullovers like Duffy's Cable-Knit Wool and Cashmere-Blend Sweater ($475), Zoa's Cable Detailed Basic Sweater Top ($141), or Urban Outfitters' Staring at Stars Cotton Slub Cable Tunic ($59). For thick, chunky turtlenecks, we adore Donna Karan's Stretch Knitted Top ($450), Alexander Wang's Sleeveless Turtleneck Tunic ($261), Type Z's Wattan Pullover Sweater ($49), and Tibi's Long Sleeve Cropped Sweater ($79), which come in a range of must-have black and cream shades. Your sartorial sensibilities may lean towards knit cardigans, in which case these vivid orange options, Forever 21's Knit Epaulet Cardigan ($25) and Urban Outfitters' BDG Marled Cable Fisherman Cardigan ($49), will serve you well. To steal Palermo's luxuriant fur-trimmed version, check out Forever 21's Cardigan With Fur Trim ($23) and Minnie Rose's Fur Collar Cardigan ($429). Finally, bold trendsetters who wish to don a knit maxi dress in the spirit of Battaglia will appreciate ALC's Variegated Knit Maxi Dress ($209), Chloe's Open-Knit Maxi Dress ($1955), and Halston Heritage's Lurex Knit Dress ($249), all long-sleeved numbers possessing a lurex-infused gleam. But you don't have to get too knit-picky-all of these selections are definitely winners in our book!-Tiffany Tse

PORTLAND, N.Y. - He's a big dog, created in a small town. In 1954, Brad Anderson, inspired by his mother and step-father's dog Bruno put pencil to paper, and gave birth to an icon.
Anderson remembers: "He was clown, a real clown of a dog. He was the basis for Marmaduke, but he was too small. I wanted a big stupid dog who thought he was a small dog and just wanted to sit in ladies' laps."
Bruno was a boxer, so Brad made Marmaduke a Great Dane. The name was drawn from a book Anderson read about the Revolutionary War, that included a boy named Marmaduke.
The 1943 graduate of Brocton Central School has been drawing the cartoon strip Marmaduke for 58 years now, and even though he lives in Texas, continues to draw inspiration from his hometown in Chautauqua County. Many of the characters in the strip are old friends. In fact Marmaduke's favorite spot, Cave's Meat Market, is an actual business on Main Street, although it is now called Cave's Deli.
Monday was declared Brad Armstrong Day in both the Town of Portland and Village of Brocton. Brad, joined by his wife Barbara and son Paul were front and center as Town officials also announced plans for a special tribute. They have already begun plans to put a bronze sculpture of Brad and Marmaduke in front of Town Hall on West Main Street. The artist chosen is Don Sottile, who also created the statue of Abraham Lincoln and Grace Bedell in Westfield.
The hope is to have it complete for next year's town bicentennial celebration. That hinges on fundraising efforts to cover the $70,000 - $80,000 price tag. If you would like to make a donation, the address is "Brocton Portland Development Corporation-The Marmaduke Fund, c/o Town of Portland, 87 West Main Street, Brocton, NY 14716.

* Prices may differ from that shown
I am always breaking my headphones, my most recent purchase was this pair of Sony earphones. I bought them because they looked the part and also because they were under the £10. I don't like to spend more than £10 on a pair of earphones as I usually stand on them, throw them in the washing machine or just lose them on my way.
Are They Comfortable?
I liked these earphones because they fit in your ear, however they do not intrude into my ear too much like the earbud style ones. I found that these earphones are very comfortable to wear, I would wear them for about 2-4 hours a day in work, and have never got sore ears from them.
There is a good long lead on these earphones, I can fit my phone nicely in my pocket when I am wearing them and they do not pull or snag. My earphones are plain black and silver and they look quite sleek, they are plain and simple looking but they do the job and do not look too chunky or old fashioned.
Sound Quality
I found that these earphones have great sound quality. They are just as good as the Gumy earphones that I usually buy and they are a little bit cheaper so I am really happy with my purchase. You can get good volume out of these earphones and I can really hear the bass in the songs that I am listening too when I hear these. There is also a silent cap on these earphones to prevent sound leakage.
I am really impressed with the sound quality that comes from these earphones, especially as they are lower priced, I wouldn't say that they are better than the more expensive sets, but they are good quality for the money that I spent on them and they do the job well for listening to music in work.
Price and Availability
I bought these earphones from Amazon for £5, I think that they were a great purchase and a fantastic way to spend my Dooyoo miles. I haven't came across these in the shops yet, but I would definitely buy them again online or if I seen them on the high street.
I think that these are a great bargain, they have great sound quality and volume and cost under £10. I would definitely recommend them for casual use as they are one of the most comfortable pairs of earphones I have ever bought. Overall I would give these earphones 5 out of 5 stars.

Sony MDR-E 818 LP Headphones
*Why buy?*
I was happy with the supplied earphones that came with my Sony MP3 player. I saw these whilst browsing and noted that a significant amount of reviewers commented on the impressive bass. I really do like a good bass sound when listening to rock music in particular. As the price and design were most certainly right I decided to give these a whirl.
*Short word on the package*
Small. There you go. I like minimalist packaging and this is what you get. Transparent quality plastic package that holds all that you need to know to ensure you have the right product. Easy to open. Clear instructions that are concise - another bonus. That is it - what more do you need.
*Any extras?*
You want earphones that is exactly what you get here. No additional stuff but it isn't really needed. One pair of earphones and some foam covers that are optional.
Lets see what the fuss is about then. First impressions are that these guys look very similar to the earphones that came with the kit. This was reassuring as they are very comfortable. These are the design that sit just inside the ear and do not enter the ear canal - I cannot tolerate the ear bud style and wish that I could as they offer great sound options. Looking like my original set of earphones is as far as these go - they sit snug and comfortably. The jack is different because it is an L shape connection - this fits perfectly into my player and there is no flimsy feel to the area that connects to the wire. The jack is a standard size and would fit most players. The wire is a good length without being too long - I can easily tuck the player into the top of my pants behind me. The cable is a standard design with equal lengths to both earphones - this was a relief as I don't put the wire behind my neck.
Quality seems to be a very good standard. The whole structure feels secure and I have not noticed any loose areas up to now. The earphones feel light and are ergonomically well styled. I have petite ears and they fit really well. I have not had them fall out. They are comfortable and have not irritated my ears.
Now we come to the sound delivery. The sound was not a great deal different from my original Sony earphones - which are impressive for a standard set - until the bass sections and rock music build ups where experienced. These earphones are very impressive for the price and level that they are at. The whole range of tones and vocals is well balanced and rich with the icing on the cake being the delivery of the bass tones. The bass is excellent. There is a real quality of depth and the sounds are fluent, smooth and intense. It is very noticeable but does not hurt my ears - I have noticed that I now have my player turned down quite a bit as the range of sound is so much bolder. I could not believe that the sound would be so different as my other earphones delivered so well. These earphones provide me with clear, rich, quality sound for a fantastic price. I have no doubt that there are far superior earphones on the market but these are just perfect for me as the design, quality and price are excellent for my listening needs.
These earphones are not sound isolating but they have a 'silent cap' design that prevents sound leakage and they are not really noticeable. Traffic and other noise can be heard when using the earphones but it is not overly intrusive if the sound is turned up a small amount.
After using these earphones for some time now I can conclude that they are a quality product that is well worth the price and will provide great sound experience. I have no problem recommending these for everyday listening.

Amazon £5.49
Argos £7.99

*A short final word*
I am really glad that I purchased these. I wasn't going to as my original earphones were fine. The difference is in the bass delivery - just takes it up a notch and it makes rock music all the more enjoyable in particular, though other genres benefit greatly too. Rich, clear sound is experienced and no unwanted crackles or tinny sounds are audible. Too good to be true in my opinion at this price especially if you need another option to the ear bud style. Five Stars for Sony.
*Thanks for reading - also published on Ciao*
To the detriment of appreciating my surroundings, I'm one of those girls who is always slipping in her earphones. I've listened to music everywhere I go since I was in high school - and sadly, that's thirteen years ago now. I used to walk around with a hulky bulky Walkman in my pocket, and I'm grateful these days that technology has moved on to allow me an MP3 player which weighs less than 100g - big improvement!
As someone who listens to music so consistently (I'm listening to a few tunes now!), I need decent earphones. The white standard earphones that come with Apple products are of average quality, and I don't really feel comfortable using them. I always buy my own, and almost invariably I buy Sony MDR-E 818 LP earphones.
They're black in style with silver detailing on the actual earbud. They're quite sleek and plain - which I like. I've always felt a bit of a wally when I use Apple's white earphones. It's much better these days now that everyone has them but to begin with, if I ever used the white set, I felt as though I was making a target of myself when I was walking around. Because Sony's MDR-E 818 LE are much plainer, I always felt much safer.
Appearances aside, they're a really practical set. The ear bud is comfortably shaped and sits just inside my ear perfectly. There's room for movement and they don't feel too big or too small. The sculpted shape helps to keep them situated properly - if I turn my head suddenly or tilt it to one side, they don't come out. They're there until I decide to remove them which I think is great. Even in the gym, when I'm bouncing around like a pogo stick, they don't fall out. I can remember using earphones that did, and I can tell you it's a great crash to your energy to have to pause, replace, and go again. Ugh.
They have a decent length wire, which allows you to have your MP3 player or other device in a pocket low down on your body (I usually pop mine into a pocket on my hips) and there's still plenty of manoeuvrability left in the wire by the time the buds get to your ears. Like everyone, I'm sure, I've had a set where the wire was just shorter than I'd like and it was very irritating to use.
Sound quality is great as far as I'm concerned! Music sounds good either at low volume or at high (and I think a lot of earphones struggle to work well at both ends of the scale) and even when experimenting with my MP3 player, I can turn up the base and still get a really good sound from them. The speakers inside can take the heat without getting that horrible rattling noise!
Regarding price, these earphones are rather ubiquitous and you can find them all over the internet and on the high street. Just out of laziness and liking having things come to me rather than the other way around, I buy online and I alternate where I purchase them between play.com and amazon, depending on who is cheaper at the time. I tend to pay somewhere between £5 and £7 for a set, and I really do think that this is great value for what you get. They're a brilliant set of earphones and I only don't buy these if for some reason when I need a set, they're out of stock.
The downside of Sony's MDR-E 818 LE for me comes from the fact that I ask so much of them. Seven or eight times a day, they're shoved into a pocket or my bag, wrapped around my MP3 player (which we all know isn't good for the wiring) or are just yanked out of my ears. Consequently, there is a point at which they just give up the ghost and stop working so brilliantly. What tends to happen in my case is that one side of the earphones will stop working, and I can only hear sound in one ear. It's frustrating, but I don't find it too much of a problem because the earphones in the first place are inexpensive and secondly, they take a lot of punishment from me before they get to this stage. One pair tends to last me at least six months, and I think that's really good going. Lesser earphones can sometimes just last a month or two.
After the standard Apple headphones that came with my Ipod broke a week ago, I thought I would test these out. Like many people I haven't been bowled over with Apple's headphones - they were uncomfortable, had poor sound quality and then broke. I didn't really want to pay too much for their replacements so when I saw these at £5.99 I figured it was worth a shot - Sony are a good brand after all.
Getting into the package to get the headphones out was similar (I imagine) to trying to get into Fort Knox but at least they were securely packaged. Inside are instructions and a guarantee. What you need instructions for with headphones I don't know but they are there if you do. In multiple languages.
The headphones are light, very light and as a result are very comfortable. I wear them every day for a few hours on my commute to work and with the Apple headphones - they used to make my ears ache after a while of wearing them. These don't, they fit very comfortably in my ear and they don't fall out every time I move my head either. There doesn't seem to be too much sound leakage - I can have a fairly high volume level without inflicting my horrendous taste in music on everyone else. As far as sound quality goes - I'm not an expert but they sound much better than my Apple ones every did and I'm very happy with them. Unfortunately though they haven't improved the quality of music on my Ipod...
I've had many different earphones in the past. Some that came provided with the product I had bought and died on me not long after, and others that have just fallen apart due to getting tangled up too often and pulled around. I've bought 2 pairs of these earphones and find them the best. Sure, there may be other better quality, more expensive and more recommended ones. But for me, these do the trick. They have great sound quality with my mp3 player and I never have to hold onto the earphones to listen to the sound more clearly like I have done with other earphones.
The earphones were comfortable and also sat in my ear well without ever falling out. They came provided with two spongey covers to place on the earphones if wanted, but I never use them as I preferred listening without. I also found they were difficult to get on and off the earphones and tore easily. The sound comes through really well on the earphones on all settings and i've even found when on loud, at times I do not even need to place the earphones in my ear and have used them as speakers.
The first set of these earphones I bought lasted over a year. Afterwards I bought a different brands pair but they only lasted a few months before one ear piece stopped working. I then went back and bought these earphones again and have used them ever since. These sony earphones are cheaper than others available from the same brand but I find that the sound quality of these is good enough to use on a daily basis.
I'm one of those guys who has always got his earphones plugged in, be it on the bus in the car or walking around, better to listen to music and radio than the industrial hum of Northampton. I recently purchased the final ever Sony cassette Walkman model and because the generic Sony headphones provided weren't top of the range and all a bit tinny I decided to upgrade in the hope of more volume boost, health & safety meaning the Walkman couldn't really deliver the required heavy rock levels, the stuff I like.
The biggest issue with ear-plug mini headphones for me is they no loner supply the little black foam bits to cover the heads. They say the heads are designed to fit snugly in the ear but it's rarely the case and any snugness not achieved means you lose sound quality and volume and back to that tinny sound. Hunting down these tiny foamy things is not easy and so far I have found only one retail outlet that sells them, the electronics specialist Maplins. If anyone knows of a chain store that sells those things I'm all ears, excuse the pun! Maplins charge an extortionate £3.99 for just eight of them, a 3000% mark up! HMV used to do eight for 99p but stopped doing them in the Northampton store.
I usually spend between £5 and £10 on mini headphones as we all know however much you spend on them one of the heads you stick in your ear will soon stop working and so the now mono kit relegated for radio or internet chatroom use only. They usually breakdown because of weather getting into the delicate copper wires or from the constant bending on the wire you can't stop happening. Every time you stuff your Walkman or Ipod back into your bag or pocket the wire is slightly weakened. To be honest moulded cables and sockets are designed that way to you keep having to buy a new one. I must have purchased over fifty of these over the decades.
It's your standard pin plug with about 3ft from plug to phones. They do supply two of those foam heads but they are hidden in the box and could easily be thrown away when you first open the packaging. As per normal with anything electrical there's an absurd amount of instructions enclosed in an equally absurd amount of languages. It's mostly health & safety wavers but it's still unclear who couldn't figure out how to use mini headphones. It's unclear how useful the Sony European Guarantee is and I was told at Argos that I couldn't return the product if I have used it, a new attitude by retailers in recession, they say because the product will be soiled when used whereas I say they know it will break pretty quickly and don't want to cough up. What I tend to do to cover that meanness is to carefully open the box and remove the product so I can slide it back in again and glue the box up so it doesn't look like I have used it. This and some good spiel always works.
The sound quality is hard to judge as it's determined by the kit the ear phones are plugged into. My Walkman isn't exactly a ghetto blaster when it comes to decibels ad so the volume isn't great on these, presumably tapered to European decibel level laws. As I said I like rock music and so need that 'thump'! They are, apparently, 'super bass sound' efficient so more suited to street sounds and the like but don't expect that boom for your buck. There is no extra volume control switch on the wire and so if you like it loud then these may not be for you although, again, the volume may be dependent on your Ipod or MP Player etc.
As far as cheap mini heads go these are ok, no tiny sound and enough volume for safe listening, ideal for kids. Not everyone likes the big chunky wraparound earphones or the mini ones that have the more awkward shaped ear phones that may well keep falling out of your lugs. You need them tight and snug in there and if you like them cheap and discreet then these Sony's are for you. I'm not expecting them to last long as I'm an all weather guy and accept rust will win the day. It very much came under the get rid of the Argos voucher category and in this long hot summer I hope they will do for me until September.

I bought these to replace my previous headphones which I unfortunately lost. I bought these for two reasons - the brand name and the price. I was hoping that the price wasn't going to have a great affect on sound quality, and to my pleasant surprise it isn't, although at times when the headphones are placed in your ears they do seem to feel uncomfortable after prolonged periods.
That said: the sound quality is excellent for such a cheap pair of headphones; also included is some buds for the earphones, but personally, I don't use them because whilst the sound sounds a lot more bassier, the actual sound quality is a lot lower and is slightly muffled.
The sound leakage is minimal if you put the volume at a medium level, however at high volumes the sound leakage is very high and I have been told once or twice to put the volume down by the people sitting next to me on the bus, so don't put the volume up too high!
However, if you're looking for cheap headphones with great sound quality, then I seriously recommend this.
Whilst watching the new series of Top Gear, I thought to myself it was time to write a new review...so low-and-behold, I've gone for the completely unobvious and not reviewed Top Gear, but a pair of headphones I've recently had to purchase to replace my beloved iPod ones that have perished through years of loyal service.
Now, how on earth do you realistically review headphones, just basic portable headphones for an mp3 player, which can even stretch over the 150 word limit for a Premium Review, let alone push past several hundred words? Well, lets find out...
They came in the seemingly mandatory plastic packaging along with a cardboard backing which is nigh on impossible to tear into. In big bold letters along with the manufacturers logo are the words "BASS SOUND" - so on that basis these should pack a musical punch. Now, I'm not a listener to anything heavily 'bass' orientated, much more of a guitar-band man, but nonetheless a good piece of bass emphasis can enhance even the worse piece of music. After a couple of weeks usage, they don't notably increase the audible bass level but at least they work!
So, here's a few technical details...
- Colour: Black, silver
- Headphones Type: Headphones - binaural
- Headphones Form Factor: Ear-bud
- Connectivity Technology: Wired
- Sound Output Mode: Stereo
- Response Bandwidth: 12 - 22000 Hz
- Manufacturer Warranty: 1 year warranty
- 16mm driver unit
- 1m cord length
- Item Weight: 5 g
- Boxed-product Weight: 454 g
Next stop, and here's a manufacturers product description...
"The fontopia in-the-ear design fits snugly, yet comfortably inside the ear so you can enjoy music while exercising, skating or dancing. Sony Acoustic Twin Turbo Circuitry uses sound chamber and ducts for improved efficiency, gets high sonic output from your portable stereo. Silent Cap prevents sound leakage, makes your music less likely to disturb your neighbors. Neodymium magnet assures maximum energy in minimum size. Neodymium is far more powerful than conventional Samarium Cobalt or Aluminum magnets."
Well that all sounds delicious and aerodynamically ingenious but it is clearly an over-hyped sales pitch. Far be it from me to question the intelluctual properties of 'neodymium' but I'm sure it's just inflated, absolute jargon.
You can pick up a pair of these headphones from Amazon.co.uk for just £6.08 (yes, that does appear an odd price) so extremely cheap for something you could end up using every day. It's also ranked 254 in the Electronics & Photo category, so a relatively popular piece of kit.
So, surely that must be enough for a review on a very basic pair of headphones? I'd like to think so, so on that bombshell, I hope you've enjoyed you read. At 464 words, I'd like to think so!
I bought these to use with my mp3 player to replace the ones that came as standard. I chose them as cheap and cheerful headphones that weren't so dreadful that even my untrained ears would object. What I got was a pair of headphones that are probably not far in quality from some of Sony's much higher priced headphones. Sure, they're not stunningly comfy and do feel a little awkward after a while but they do the job well and they're not bad to the point of being painful. The sound quality is fine for what they are and what they cost (£6 from the Sony shop, probably cheaper elsewhere).
The build quality is as good as always from Sony and they have survived being stuffed into pockets and bags.
If I had to find fault with them it would be that the cord is a little on the short side (1m) and doesn't reach the bottom of a trouser pocket. It will reach an mp3 player in a pocket but it is a bit tight. The plug is narrowed towards the jack that I think is so that it can be used with the iPhone (standard ones are too wide) although I have not tested this.
Overall they do everything that is expected of them and at this price you can't complain.

By By MARY BERNARDVernal Express
A boom in oil and natural gas extraction began a decade ago when improved hydraulic fracturing and field flooding techniques allowed more of the resource to be captured easily
The problem was that along with the resource piped to the surface were millions of gallons of wastewater contami- nated with viscous agents and caustic chemicals combined with salt.
The challenge to find safe disposal methods "has triggered a gold rush among water-treatment companies," according to a recent Wall Street Journal article.
One company, Environmentally Clean Systems or ECS, operates in Newfield's Monument Butte field, cleaning flowback wastewater by plucking residual resources from the dirty fluids.
"This is Newfield's best producing well," Myton plant manager Mike Westmoreland said jokingly.
Until recently, wastewater was just material meant for disposal. Choices for managing wastewater have largely consisted of trucking water to evaporation pits, re-injecting water into the ground or recycling the water into continued use.
ECS's goal is to provide clean water using a process called electro-coagulation to separate the solid contaminants from the flowback water.
"This is not a disposal system, its an extension of the extraction process, which cleans the worst crappy water that can be piped in from the field," said vice president of operations Tony Winters.
Winters says the electrification process clots the fine-grained contaminants into bigger pieces and then, they "filter out the chunks."
The piped water comes in to a 7,200 gallon tank, settles and flows through a filtration process that catches the solids down to 5 microns in size, or about the thickness of fine human hair.
"It's a flowthrough process that handles 400 gallons a minute and can do up to'15,000 barrels in 12 hours. From the time its piped in til its flows through the filtration process and is being piped out takes 30 minutes," he said.
The outgoing water after treatment is salty, which can be further treated, piped back to the field for reuse or trucked to evaporation ponds.
"There are no 'Contaminants, in the water, it's just salty," said Jim Scadlock, vice president of marketing, adding there are additional methods available to remove salt.
ECS perfected the process, over a period of years completÂing a successful pilot study for, Newfield two years ago.
"The beauty of the system is its sustainability," Scadlock said.
"We're scalable. Right now, we have a 7,000-square-foot plant with eight full time emÂployees running 24-hours a day, but we can be anywhere in the field."
The plan for the Newfield is to eventually electrify the field, in which case, ECS will be able to double the capacity of the plant by running on-site units.
Smaller portable treatment plants could be possible say the ECS trio, which could be run on gas generators.
Either way, on-site or piped to the facility, fewer trucks are being used to transport dirty water.
It doesn't mean that evapoÂration pits are going away tomorrow, but it does mean the ponds will be holding less contaminated water.
"Better for air quality, better for the environment," Scadlock said.
ECS is a joint venture with the Tessenderlo Group, an international company, with MPR Inc. Services in water remediation processes.

DEKALB JUNCTION - Basketball is a 32-minute game.
Hermon-DeKalb fell short by 12 minutes, according to Coach Steve Morrill, on Thursday in a 54-47 NAC West Division Girls Basketball loss to Heuvelton.
We were cold in the first and third quarters and didnt play 32 minutes. Heuvelton had a lot of easy baskets and they took advantage of them. We played a little better tonight than against Harrisville - so I like that - but weve got to play a full game, said Morrill whose team fell to 4-4 overall, 3-4 in NAC West.
Heuvelton Coach Rob Power liked his teams performance after a setback on Monday at Hammond.
We played much better as a team. Logan Tallman continues her excellent play and Alexis Weidner is getting her legs back and her offense showed tonight. Maddie St. Pierre really had a solid overall game and Rachel Thornhill hit a big three in the fourth and created a turnover right after it to stop H-Ds momentum a bit, said Powers whose team improved to 8-3, 6-2 NAC West heading into a home game against Harrisville on Monday.
H-D led 22-17 at the half but Heuvelton used a 19-7 run in the third to take a 36-29 lead. Thornhills three gave Heuvelton a eight point lead with just under four minutes to play and the Demons couldnt break the five point barrier after that.

Ali Hitchman added nine points while Alexis Pomerville tallied six points, eight rebounds and four assists.Jackie Sovie scored 13 points for Lisbon.

Summer may be coming to an end, but that doesn't mean you're free to forget about sun protection. When shopping for back-to-school supplies, make sure to stop by the sunscreen aisle. Children in elementary school usually have outdoor recess between 10 a.m. and 2 a.m., when the sun is especially intense. Just one severe sunburn in childhood doubles the chances of developing melanoma later in life. So while preparing for school, make sure to remind your children about the importance of applying sunscreen and seeking the shade when outdoors.
"The sun's ultraviolet rays don't go away when the summer is over," said Perry Robins, MD, President of The Skin Cancer Foundation." Children spend a great deal of time outdoors throughout the school year - walking to and from school, and during recess, after-school sports and field trips. We encourage children to develop a year-round sun protection regimen to lower their risk of developing skin cancer later in life."
Although sunscreen is an essential part of a complete sun protection program, you may need to check with administrators before sending your children to school with a bottle. Many schools prohibit students from bringing in sunscreen and some require a doctor's prescription. Others not only allow sunscreen but may provide it for student use.
No matter what the rules are at school, it is important to remember that sun safety begins at home. The Skin Cancer Foundation offers these tips:
Dress children in sun-protective clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and sunglasses that block 99 percent or more of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
Apply broad-spectrum, SPF 15+ sunscreen to exposed skin every morning.
If permitted by your school, teach children to reapply sunscreen before going outdoors for physical education, recess or after-school sports. For extra outdoor protection, kids should use an SPF 30+ sunscreen.
Teach kids to look for shaded areas in which to play.
Children should enjoy the outdoors safely. Learn how to protect them, and teach them to protect themselves at www.SkinCancer.org.

ElizabethMy New Favorite Headband!This is my new favorite headband! A lot of headbands are too tight behind my ears or slide around too easily, but this is perfect!

Mireille L.0HairNormal HairThick or Coarse HairDouble Loops Are Truly LuxeI received the France Luxe Double Loop Bow Headband as a VIP Reviewer, which is why I ended up with Fuschia -- actually a rich rose color, not a bright pink -- rather than what I might have chosen, the simple, gray Thatched. And yet, though I'm not a fan of anything resembling pink... I love it.
Made from 100% silk, the off-center styling of the double bow falls neatly between adorably playful and surprisingly sophisticated. The bows are neatly and firmly shaped to stay in place; they don't droop about the headband, but rather they hold themselves somewhat rigid -- though this is the only thing about the headband that I'd suggest wasn't extremely soft.
Although this France Luxe headband never shifted after I put it on, I found it perfectly comfortable, partially because of the band's flexibility, and partially because of the padded tips, which ease the feel of the headband against your head. The company chose a thick silk as well, demonstrating higher quality workmanship that I'd expected. Overall, I was extremely pleased with this hair accessory, and I'll be using it off and on for a very long time.4 out of 4 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

Nation's largest electric and gas utility will expand opportunities for customers to reduce their emissions
CHICAGO (July 1, 2009) — One year after Exelon unveiled its strategy to eliminate the equivalent of its 2001 carbon footprint by 2020, the company continues to work toward its goal, including new efforts to help the customers and communities it serves to reduce their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. To report on its progress to date and how the economic landscape has reshaped its options for achieving its goal, Exelon has published a one-year update, which is available at exeloncorp.com.
Exelon 2020 is the company's comprehensive strategy to reduce, offset or displace more than 15 million metric tons of GHG emissions per year by 2020 by greening its own operations, helping customers and the communities Exelon serves reduce their GHG emissions, and offering more low-carbon electricity in the marketplace. The 2009 update reports that Exelon so far has reduced more than one-third, or 6 million metric tons, of its GHG emissions.
"We have demonstrated already that we are capable of achieving meaningful carbon reductions," said Exelon Chairman and CEO John W. Rowe. "But Exelon still has considerable work to do, and we have picked most of the low-hanging fruit."
Exelon has relied on greening its operations to achieve the bulk of its emissions reductions to date. It also has announced plans to offer substantial new low-carbon electricity in the marketplace by raising the output of Exelon nuclear plants and investing in new renewable energy projects. Going forward, the company will increase its investment in customer initiatives to continue progress toward its 2020 goal. Exelon's energy delivery companies — ComEd in northern Illinois and PECO in southeastern Pennsylvania — will spend more than $350 million through 2011 on energy efficiency and demand response programs that will help residential and business customers reduce their energy consumption by more than 1.6 million MWh and reduce peak load by 226 MW.
Just last month, ComEd introduced an Advanced Metering Infrastructure pilot program that will provide automated "smart" meters to as many as 141,000 customers, allowing them to use real-time electricity usage data to better manage their electricity bills and reduce energy consumption. Also, after the first year of its energy efficiency programs, ComEd has sold nearly 3 million discounted compact fluorescent light bulbs, recycled close to 12,000 appliances, and is saving customers more than $20 million in annual energy costs. Just today, PECO filed a plan with regulators to spend $342 million on customer programs to reduce overall electricity consumption by 3 percent and peak load by 4.5 percent by 2013. Another filing this summer will propose the deployment of two-way smart meters to PECO's 1.6 million customers.
Beyond Exelon's one-third reduction in emissions, other achievements reported at the one-year mark include:
The one-year update also shows how the flexibility of the company's plan will allow it to respond to two potential scenarios for the future U.S. economic recovery — one more optimistic in its assumptions, and one more pessimistic — and examines how each would affect the potential requirements for achieving Exelon's 2020 goal.
"Since we prepared the initial Exelon 2020 analysis, economic growth has slowed and the natural gas prices that set the market price for electricity have plummeted," said Rowe. "Technologies that once looked attractive are less so, and other technologies that once looked prohibitively expensive look more reasonable. As such, we are continually reassessing our options for reducing emissions and adjusting our strategy accordingly."
Exelon's 2009 update also reaffirms the company's position that although it will not wait for Washington to act, it is encouraged by recent progress Congress has made on climate legislation.
"To fully realize our goal — and for other companies and our society to realize national greenhouse gas reduction goals — we need focused federal action," Rowe said. "With the House's passage of the Waxman-Markey bill last week, the nation is one step closer to enacting comprehensive climate change legislation during this Congress. Exelon will continue to work with policymakers in the Senate to encourage the adoption of a sound national energy policy that balances the need to protect consumers, business and the economy with the urgent need to reduce our nation's greenhouse gas emissions."
Exelon Corporation is one of the nation's largest electric utilities with approximately $19 billion in annual revenues. The company has one of the industry's largest portfolios of electricity generation capacity, with a nationwide reach and strong positions in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Exelon distributes electricity to approximately 5.4 million customers in northern Illinois and southeastern Pennsylvania and natural gas to approximately 485,000 customers in the Philadelphia area. Exelon is headquartered in Chicago and trades on the NYSE under the ticker EXC.

I just wanted to let you know you have some wonderful people in your community.
Fifteen years ago on a hot summer day we were headed on a family vacation and stopped at Wendy's in Price for something to eat.
Our little Chihuahua, Tiki, ran off. We spent hours looking for her. We had adopted her from the Humane Society, so she was tagged. But we didn't find her.
When we returned home, a nice woman called and said she had her. She was being well taken care of and I got the woman's name and number so I could go back from Spanish Fork to Price to pick her up on my day off.
However, the next day as we returned home from work our house was on fire and the blaze destroyed everything in our home including the information on Tiki.
I am sure Tiki is probably long gone now, but I want you to know what great citizens you have in your community.

If you get a call informing you that you've won the Canadian lottery, be warned: It's probably a scam, one of several types of fraudulent schemes currently being used to target Mainers. Another one involves a new federal government assistance program supposedly intended to help people pay their utility bills. There's no such utility program. Maine officials are now fighting back with a new initiative called the DASH fraud program.
Maine Attorney General William Schneider explains how the utility scam works.
"To receive a credit or apply a payment to a utility bill, consumers were asked to provide their Social Security and bank routing numbers. In return they were given a phoney bank routing number that supposedly paid their utility bills. In reality there was no money and customers believed they had paid their bills when in fact they had not," Schneider says.
All the customers had succeeding in doing was giving personal details to con artists who can then set about ripping them off.
Such scams are on the increase nationwide. According to research released earlier this year, 2011 saw a 13 percent increase in the number of adult Americans being defrauded, at a cost of more than $18 billion.
Now, a group of Maine businesses, non-profits, law enforcement and state officials have decided to take action. On Wednesday morning at a news conference in Saco, Attorney General Schneider was among the speakers announcing the formation of the Maine Fraud Prevention Alliance.
To help ordinary Mainers avoid falling victim to fraud, the Alliance has launched the DASH program. As Schneider explains, it's an acronym, with the letters D-A-S-H containing some helpful advice.
"'Delete' emails that you don't know where they're from; 'ask' for permits from door-to-door salesmen; 'shred' junk mail - and that's really good advice so that somebody can't go through your garbage and get things like credit card applications and stuff like that; and 'hang up' on unsolicited calls," he says.
Eileen Whynot is with the Southern Maine Agency on Aging, an alliance member whose mission is to look out for the interests of vulnerable older people. "Maine has been a target," she says. "We do have more seniors in our state than others, and so we've seen a lot of very sophisticated fraud."
"This has been a mainstay for a long-time, the door-to-door itinerant sales people," says Saco Police Chief Brad Paul. Paul says many of these con artists talk elderly people into agreeing to have expensive and unnecessary maintenance work carried out.
"Now we're getting into the fall season, so people need to be particularly aware of the folks that are out there driving around that will pull into your yard and say, 'Gee we've noticed you have a tree overhanging your wires. If that takes out your power, you're going to be without power,'" Paul says. "They prey on elderly people because elderly people really worry about things like the power going out, or not having phone services, or the furnace going out."
Paul says he had a call this week from a police chief 200 miles away in northern Maine about an elderly couple who had been fleeced to the tune of several thousand dollars by a couple of bogus door-to-door salespeople who had driven up from Saco in search of victims.
But Attorney General Schneider says it's not just the elderly and the vulnerable who can fall victim to fraud. "I've been the victim of identity theft," he says. "About probably 10 years or so ago, someone came by and stole my mail from my mailbox and tried to clean out my bank account, and it was a mess."
Not all of the cons are successful. The one that tried to steal Schneider's identity ended spending several years in a federal prison. The Maine Fraud Prevention Alliance will be making DASH fraud kits available later this month.

Each stored program contains a body that consists of an SQL
statement. This statement may be a compound statement made up of
several statements separated by semicolon (
characters. For example, the following stored procedure has a body
made up of a
END block that contains a
statement and a
REPEAT loop that
itself contains another
CREATE PROCEDURE dorepeat(p1 INT) BEGIN SET @x = 0; REPEAT SET @x = @x + 1; UNTIL @x > p1 END REPEAT; END;
If you use the mysql client program to define a stored program containing semicolon characters, a problem arises. By default, mysql itself recognizes the semicolon as a statement delimiter, so you must redefine the delimiter temporarily to cause mysql to pass the entire stored program definition to the server.
To redefine the mysql delimiter, use the
delimiter command. The following example shows
how to do this for the
dorepeat() procedure
just shown. The delimiter is changed to
// to
enable the entire definition to be passed to the server as a
single statement, and then restored to
; before
invoking the procedure. This enables the
delimiter used in the procedure body to be passed through to the
server rather than being interpreted by mysql
delimiter //mysql>
CREATE PROCEDURE dorepeat(p1 INT)->
SET @x = 0;->
REPEAT SET @x = @x + 1; UNTIL @x > p1 END REPEAT;->
//Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql>
delimiter ;mysql>
CALL dorepeat(1000);Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql>
SELECT @x;+------+ | @x | +------+ | 1001 | +------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
You can redefine the delimiter to a string other than
//, and the delimiter can consist of a single
character or multiple characters. You should avoid the use of the
backslash ("
\") character because
that is the escape character for MySQL.
The following is an example of a function that takes a parameter,
performs an operation using an SQL function, and returns the
result. In this case, it is unnecessary to use
delimiter because the function definition
contains no internal
; statement delimiters:
CREATE FUNCTION hello (s CHAR(20))mysql>
RETURN CONCAT('Hello, ',s,'!');Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) mysql>
SELECT hello('world');+----------------+ | hello('world') | +----------------+ | Hello, world! | +----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)

If trying to create a STORED PROCEDURE from a text file, it is better to use the --delimeter=... command line option.

Great moisturizing protectionI absolutely love this product because of its texture and added 30 SPF protection. It is light, yet hydrating and keeps my skin healthy. Great for traveling and for throwing in my gym bag year-round. Two thumbs up!
Oh my god this proOh my god this product is a wonder cream! i recommend this product for anyone suffering with skin imperfections such as acne scaring or an uneven skin tone. when i read that this cream was linked to the same affects as a chemical peel i had my doubts but was amazed at the results. i have suffered with mild acne on my chin since as long as i can remember and have tried everything on the market with unhappy results until now. i now have new clear skin thanks to this product. it works by shedding the top layer of skin and i use it along with a micro-dermabrasion scrub and the affects our amazing it is unlike any other similar products because it doesn't cause your skin to flake instead it balances the skins moisture levels. My skin is no longer dull and blotchy but positively glowing thank you skin doctors! one word of warning though to consumers be careful of sun beds when using this product it doubles the effect and can harmfully damage your skin as it breaks down skins natural uv protection always use spf with this product. Always read the product label.
Perfect for keepingPerfect for keeping pmneanertly in my handbag ensuring I'm always prepared for any little bit of sun that comes our way.The Kids lotion goes on well and soaks in without leaving the boy's skin greasy. It has a slight coconut smell which isn't to overpowering or unpleasant. Also, I've found this a really handy size to leave with nursery / in school bags as I've made the mistake in the past of buying a large bottle for each boy that then comes back at the end of the summer 3/4 full. Only for me to throw it away the following year as the shelf life is only 12 months.
Great stuffSmells good and my mug feels and looks great too.

Phoenix hits record daytime high temperature
PHOENIX — Weeks after parts of Arizona shivered through record nighttime lows, record high temperatures are being set this week.
The Phoenix area hit 81 degrees about 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. That tops the all-time high for Jan. 22, which was 78 degrees in 1994.
The high Wednesday is projected to hit 82 degrees, which would be another record. It's expected to hit 79 Thursday, close to the all-time high for that date.
It will be in the 50s through Wednesday in Flagstaff and other parts of northern Arizona with daytime highs 5 to 10 degrees above normal.
Weather Service officials said it'll be within a few degrees of record levels at some of the lower elevation areas, including Prescott and Cottonwood.

1* Free Play Predators.Predators' goaltender Pekka Rinne is on fire to open the year and we think he'll once again be the difference in this contest. Rinne has stopped 56 of 57 shots in his team's 2-0 start, getting a ton of help from his defense which has killed off all eight power plays that he's faced. Note that Rinne has posted a 2.14 GAA and .928 save percentage in five career outings vs. the Devils. New Jersey has opened 0-2 and hasn't won in regulation since March 20th, going 1-9-3 with one SO win in that span. Goaltender Corey Schneider is 0-7-2 with a 3.11 GAA and .898 save percentage during the stretch of futility (and note that in four career starts vs. the Predators he's posted a pedestrian 3.00 ERA). With Rinne playing at an all star level to open the season, there's no question the NASHVILLE does indeed become worthy of a second look in this matchup.AAA Sports

Import DVD to iTunes and then stream to ipad
I'm a big movie fans and have collected a lot of DVD discs. Alas, I often have to fly from one place to another for foreign business so I have little time to watch my beloved DVDs at home. Is there any solution to import DVD to iTunes? If so, I could steam it to my iphone. Free solution would be the best. Thanks.

You also can try Air Playit (digiarty), it is nice, as well.

Import DVD to iTunes and then steam to ipad
Handbrake will need the assistance of something like VLC to get around DRM.
Then after converting you can add them to iTunes and transfer to your device. This, however, will not stream them to you because will iTunes it has to be on your device.
But there are a number of apps in the AppStore where you install a server piece on your PC at home and the app on your iOS device which them allow you to stream them. I don't remember the names of any right now though.

In view the DVD ripping programs as other said, you also can try macx dvd ripper pro. It is not free but it can help me remove unwanted part of the dvd and the black bars on DVD. Try to see whether it's worth the money.

17 U.S. Code § 502 - Remedies for infringement: Injunctions
(a) Any court having jurisdiction of a civil action arising under this title may, subject to the provisions of section 1498 of title 28, grant temporary and final injunctions on such terms as it may deem reasonable to prevent or restrain infringement of a copyright.
(b) Any such injunction may be served anywhere in the United States on the person enjoined; it shall be operative throughout the United States and shall be enforceable, by proceedings in contempt or otherwise, by any United States court having jurisdiction of that person. The clerk of the court granting the injunction shall, when requested by any other court in which enforcement of the injunction is sought, transmit promptly to the other court a certified copy of all the papers in the case on file in such clerk's office.
Source(Pub. L. 94–553, title I, § 101,Oct. 19, 1976, 90 Stat. 2584.)
Historical and Revision Notes
house report no. 94–1476
Section 502 (a) [subsec. (a) of this section] reasserts the discretionary power of courts to grant injunctions and restraining orders, whether "preliminary," "temporary," "interlocutory," "permanent," or "final," to prevent or stop infringements of copyright. This power is made subject to the provisions of section 1498 of title 28 dealing with infringement actions against the United States. The latter reference in section 502 (a) makes it clear that the bill would not permit the granting of an injunction against an infringement for which the Federal Government is liable under section 1498.
Under subsection (b), which is the counterpart of provisions in sections 112 and 113 of the present statute [sections 112 and 113 of former title 17], a copyright owner who has obtained an injunction in one State will be able to enforce it against a defendant located anywhere else in the United States.
