Last week, Prince Charles led a consensus agreement between 35 countries in an informal working group looking at financial mechanisms for REDD (Reduced Emissions from Deforestation) that could play a major role at Copenhagen. The Prince's Rainforests Project also published the results of the very successful SOS campaign which they estimate has been viewed over a billion times with 250,000 user-generated SOS messages sent.
They also released a strikingly beautiful (and information-packed) online interactive book which I highly recommend if you want to learn more about the current state of the world's rain forests and examples of successful turnarounds where forests and their native inhabitants have been saved.
Here are a couple of example pages from the book:

Scheme, a derivative of LISP (LISt Processing language, or Lots of Irritating Superfluous Parentheses), seems like it would be a syntax strict, extremely picky language with lots of strange functions, commands, etc. *This is a myth. *The R5RS standard specifies what a complient Scheme interpreter/compiler should do (if you do not yet have an interpreter/compiler, check out either DrScheme or MIT Scheme.)
For these lessons, you will only need an interpreter. *I do not think that either of the ones I mentioned above are better than the other, so make a choice. *If you find another interpretter that is R5RS complient, then by all means, try it out. *If you have problems with DrScheme, I will be able help more with that interpreter than the others as that is the one I am most familiar with. *I will try to help with others, but I will probably not be as confident. *Please post your code so that I and others can first make sure that it is not in the code itself.
Scheme is case insensitive, so, if you insist, you can write all your code with the caps lock on and not care, but all my code will be in lower case. *The only exception to that rule are strings, but that will be covered later.
All programming tutorials have the learner first see a program written in that language that says hello world. *Having you learn how to output "Hello World!" seems less important than having you understand lists since the understanding of lists is absolutely essential to learning Scheme (do not worry though, we will get into strings eventually, which are case sensitive.) *Thus, for our first program, I will show a few pieces of code that will create a list containing two symbols: hello and world. *This will be my compromise for not having a "Hello World!" program.
Both of these s-expressions (a list of symbols) should output the same thing: (hello world). *What are these two s-expressions doing? *The first, with the list function (notice how the function comes first)*, takes a variable number of arguments (notice how the arguments all come after the function)*, and puts them all in a list. *The second, with the cons function, takes two arguments: the first is any datum you would like it to be (it can even be another list) and the second has to be a list (well, technically, it can be anything, but for now, it has to be a list.)Code:(list 'hello 'world) (cons 'hello '(world))
Notice how there is a single quote before hello, world, and (world). *These are needed since neither hello nor world are previously defined. *If you eliminate the single quotes, your interpreter will complain. *Also, note that the single quote tells Scheme that the symbol immediately after the quote or symbols within the list that the quote prepends will not be interpreted as Scheme functions. *So take the following for example:
Now you have these lists, but you need to get at certain parts of the list. *To start out, an examination of car and cdr (pronounced 'cudder'), leftovers from LISP. *Both car and cdr take one argument, a list. *Car will take the list and return you the first element in that list. *Cdr will take the list and return you the list without the car.Code:(list 'list 'hello 'world) (cons 'cons '(hello world))
The first s-expression will return the symbol h. *The second will return a list, (e l l o).Code:(car '(h e l l o)) (cdr '(h e l l o))
If you do not understand prefix notation yet, then keep reading. *If you do, then you can look at the problems I have provided.
In math, the norm is to use infix notation. *The add function in 4 + 5 is fixed inside our mathematical expression. *With prefix notation, that same expression would look like (+ 4 5). *To tie it into some of the rest of this lesson, the function is always the car of a list, and its arguments are the cdr of the list.
1. What does the following return?
(car (cdr '(h e l l o)))
2. How would you return the second l in the list from the previous question?
3. Take the following list: (a b (c d) e f). *Figure out a way to return c, d, and finally f. *Note: I am not asking you to return a list with c, d, and f. *Just use three different s-expressions to return each of these symbols.
4. The list function is nothing more than syntactic sugar (i.e. it is not needed as other constructs can do the same thing, but it may not be as pretty.) *How could you construct a list containing the symbols foo, bar, and baz without using the list function (using what we have learnt thusfar)?
* Scheme uses prefix notation. *This means that the function you want to use must come first before its arguments. *If you want to perform another function on some other data, then you need another list. *So, if you wanted to cons 'a on to (list 'b 'c), the s-expression would look like: (cons 'a (list 'b 'c)).

Two reviews done in less than one week. Well, I kinda went pretty inactive during the past months for translating, and I piled up a great number of novels…
That aside, let's introduce an animated-to-be novel, with a rare kind of 'main theme'. It's called genderbending.
Wow, before you folks actually stop reading because of the theme, calm down. It's neither a BL story, nor yuri. The story's genderbending female protagonist is probably in love with a boy. And it shouldn't be a surprise, considering the kind of story is Mayo Chiki.
One of the female leads, Konoe Subaru, 17, is a classmate of the protagonist, Sakamachi Kinjirou, and also the butler of Suzutsuki Kanade, a rich lady in school….

The Vets Peer-to-Peer Outreach Center is looking for more volunteer peer mentors to assist current and former servicemen and women by offering a shoulder to lean on during times of trouble.
Charles D. Coulter, peer-to-peer mentor leader, said members of the military and veterans alike have used the drop-in center a total of 330 times since the office at 247 State St. opened in December.
In order to reach more people, the agency seeks additional mentors to listen to veterans and share their own stories.
We can communicate and talk to each other, Mr. Coulter said. Weve been through the same thing. Were here to help other veterans so they can get back into the brotherhood bond they had before. When we get out into the community, a lot of people dont understand you.
John F. Makowecki, who was stationed at Fort Drum from 1997 to 2000, said that as a peer mentor, he talks with other servicemen and women about issues they are dealing with. At the same time, he said, that also helps him heal some of his own old wounds.
They know where youre coming from and where youve been, he said. Come as you are. Theres no face to put on; we understand.
The non-clinical, community-based facility is under the auspices of the Mental Health Association in Jefferson County. Its goals are to promote wellness, improve coping skills, reduce concerns and foster social networking along with group support and provide referrals to other programs and services when needed.
A lot of times its just listening, said Mr. Coulter, who also is a veteran. A lot of veterans have a stigma about being diagnosed with mental health issues and others have a stigma with the system in that they werent helped properly.
Vets Peer-to-Peer Outreach Center is that steppingstone to the right pathway, he said.
Generations of veterans have walked through the doors, including those from the Korean War and the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The center is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, but has extended hours until 7 p.m. on Tuesdays. Veterans, service members and their families are welcome to stop by the State Street facility.
Mr. Coulter said there are five peer mentors now, but hed like to have a minimum of 10. Anyone interested in becoming a mentor can call the agency at 681-6772.

William A. Dixon - B-25 navigator/bombardier, Attu
Herewith are the facts as I know them of my father's imprisonment by the Japanese from September 9, 1944 to August 29, 1945:
As of approximately June 1944, my father, William A. Dixon, was a navigator/bombardier aboard a B-25 stationed on Attu in the Aleutians with the 77th Bomber Squadron, 28th Bomb Group of the 11th Air Force (Corps). Most missions targeted Japanese shipping and garrisons in and around Paramushiru in the northern Kuriles. Members of the flight crew were Pilot: 2nd. Lt. Albert D. Scott of Weleetka, OK, Co-Pilot: F/O William (Vic) Gallo of Apollo, PA, Navigator/Bombardier: 2nd. Lt. William A. Dixon of Mountain View, NJ (AKA: Lincoln Park, NJ), Gunner: Sgt. Reynald P. Isrussi of Cleveland, OH, Gunner: SSgt. Carmen DiOrio of Chicago, IL, Flight Engineer: SSgt. Arthur O. Knipe of Haverhill, MA.
They were shot down on their 10th mission on September 9, 1944. They attacked a five ship convoy off Paramushiru (2 gunboats, 2 freighters, 1 tanker) They took two runs on a freighter. The first was a strafing run and the second was to be a bombing run. Ack ack fire from gunboats hit their right engine on approach which resulted in failure to gain sufficient altitude to clear freighter mast which sheared off tail fins and they tumbled into the sea. All but DiOrio and Knipe survived crash. Gallo, Isrussi, Scott, and Dixon picked up by fishing boats and brought to Paramushiru and kept in caves, interrogated by Japanese officers daily for 10 days. They were then put aboard two Japanese freighters (ironically the same ships they attempted to bomb.) in solitary confinement. My father was held in a cargo hold, naked except for a smelly fur jacket, a sanitary bucket, container of water, and dog bones. The journey lasted four days and they docked at Hokkaido where they took a train to an airport where they boarded a captured American C-47 to Yokohama and the Ofuna interrogation camp. It was there that he first met "Pappy" Boyington, the Marine ace, who also subsequently was imprisoned at Omori along with Commander O'Kane of the USS Tang. After the first of the year they were shipped by truck and train to Omori, a registered camp outside Tokyo.
While in captivity my father was interrogated, beaten, starved, and abused until liberated by the US Navy on August 29, 1945. He was too weak to join in the celebration as he was down to 90 pounds and suffered from many afflictions such as carbuncles, boils, hepatitis, yellow jaundice, dengue fever, dysentery, malaria, beriberi, and anxiety neurosis. He was hospitalized for several weeks aboard the "USS Benevolence" for a few weeks, flown out of Tokyo to Guam, then to Hawaii, and then San Francisco.

Record-Size Complex Underway
Sustainable, Affordable Housing Rising in Brooklyn
Construction is on schedule for a multifamily project in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville area of Brooklyn.
Atlantic Avenue Residence, designed by Dattner Architects of New York City, will be three, four-story buildings and contain 41 units of one-, two- and three-bedroom condominiums. Each will feature Energy Star appliances and lighting fixtures as well as energy efficient windows to save an estimated 30% on utility bills for the owners, predicted developer and owner Habitat for Humanity-NYC.
The building will have high-efficiency boilers and landscaping with drought-resistant plants and permeable paving. It will also use non-toxic and sustainable construction materials. The 53,000-sq-ft building is registered for LEED certification.
"This will be the largest multi-family project built by Habitat for Humanity-NYC in the world," said Josh Lockwood, executive director of Habitat for Humanity-NYC. "It will also be our greenest building in New York."
The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development sold the land to Habitat for Humanity NYC for $13 in May 2007. The $13 million project is being financed by a $7.3 million construction loan from Citibank, as well as $1.64 million from the New York State Affordable Housing Corporation through the Housing Partnership Development Corporation (the financing partner of the project), $400,000 from the Brooklyn Borough President's Office, $820,000 from the Independence Community Foundation, $5.5 million in sales revenues and other donations and gifts.
As a bonus, real estate brokers from around New York City have formed Brokers Build, a fundraising coalition attempting to underwrite some of the affordable homes. "They have been out there pounding the pavement, fundraising for us," said Lockwood. "So far they've raised over $100,000."
General contractor Vertical Construction of Long Island City began work on Atlantic Avenue Residence in September 2007 and will allow new owners to move in during 2009. To qualify, owners must earn between 45% and 80% of the area's median income ($35,450 to $56,700 for a family of four) and each adult must put in at least 300 hours of work to help build the homes. All must be first-time, low-income homebuyers.
"We are bringing home buyers to an area where the majority is renting," said Lockwood. "At Habitat, we want to make a real community development impact."
The condominiums in Ocean Hill Brownville are part of the NYC Housing Partnership Development Corporation's ongoing effort to construct affordable housing. The New York State Affordable Housing Corporation recently approved $3.125 million in grants to the partnership to build 89 new homes in the Bronx and Brooklyn.
Computer Firm Builds Sustainable HQ Upstate
Construction on a LEED-certified office building for Stafford Associates Computer Specialists, Inc in East Setauket, New York is currently underway.
The project is a new 30,000-sq-ft headquarters facility, housing two floors and a basement on a 3.7 acre parcel on Bennet's Road.
It is the first green building project for construction managers TRITEC Building Company, who has been working with the design team of Peter Carradonna LEED Architect, Robert A.W. Heins Architect, EMTEC Consulting Engineers and Avitz Engineering.
To date, the most challenging aspect for the team has been the green paperwork. "Documentation is tremendous," said Ken Abrami, vice president of Operations for TRITEC. "You lose flexibility of making modifications and now we recognize that any potential change can have an impact on the green product."
The sustainable features will include onsite water stores tanks for roof runoff to utilize water for irrigation, green landscaping, insulated wall panels with six-inch foam installation, geothermal for heating and cooling systems and elevations have been constructed for day lighting, explained Abrami. The project team is also sorting through the debris to mitigate removal impact and using local lumber in construction.
"TRITEC has been concentrating its efforts on assuring that all project components—from design team to agency approvals to documentation tracking—have been complied with to allow compliance with certification procedures, while focusing on and maintaining project budget and cost," said Martin DePasquale, vice president of Preconstruction Services for TRITEC.
A treed lot occupied the site before construction of the new office building. As part of the local historical society requirement, the project team will also restore the existing historical house on the plot, as a separate part of the project, said Abrami.
The $7.4 million project broke ground in December 2007 and is slated for completion in October or November 2008.

Re: Star Wars The Clone Wars Season Five News and Discussion
TheForce.Net is reporting that the creative team is being disbanded and let go.
Sad news. On the one hand these guys really knew how to bring the McQuarrie side of Star Wars to life. On the other, Disney already has animators coming out of their ears.
I just hope that they're wise enough to keep Filoni (if he would even want to stay at this point) and the core creative team; Because even if it's not The Clone Wars, if Disney wishes to continue doing Star Wars animation of any kind, these are the people who have proven that they know how it's done.

Program Details
The Mount Sinai Department of Surgery offers a wide range of resources to support residents academic pursuits and professional development. The department encourages resident participation and presentation in national meetings and finances travel expenses. Fourth–year residents attend the spring meeting of the American College of Surgeons (ACS), and all Chief Residents have the opportunity to attend the ACS fall meeting.
Residents receive access to the Gustave L. and Janet W. Levy Library. Online resources include 89 databases, such as Medline/PubMed and AccessMedicine, and more than 11,000 full-text e–journals.
Resident Library
Residents have 24-hour access to the Resident Library, conveniently located near the operating rooms. The library offers:
- Audio-visual equipment
- Computer terminals with high–speed Internet access
- Journals
- Laparoscopic trainers for honing minimally invasive surgical skills
- Textbooks
Surgical Simulation Center
The Icahn School of Medicine offers a state-of-the-art Surgical Simulation Center, equipped with:
- Laparoscopic and endoscopic simulators
- Inanimate models
- Web-based learning modules
- Fundamentals of Laparoscopic (FLS) training boxes
Every two weeks, residents spend four hours mastering surgical techniques in the Simulation Center. The Program Director monitors residents' progress during the sessions, using defined metrics, and provides ongoing performance feedback.
Faculty members are available during scheduled training sessions to instruct residents on surgical techniques. In addition, junior and senior residents work together in assigned training sessions to simulate surgical collaboration.
Resident Work Hours
Mount Sinai strictly adheres to the resident work hour guidelines mandated by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME) and New York State law. Specific limitations on resident work hours can be found at www.acgme.org under "resident duty hours."
The following guidelines apply to residents schedules:
- Residents will not be at the hospital more than 80 hours per week.
- All residents will receive one day off per week.
- Call periods will not exceed 24 hours.
- Residents will have call no more than once per 72–hour period.
- Residents will receive 10 hours off between shifts
These guidelines apply to all resident levels.
During the first year, call schedules vary by affiliate site and surgical service. Call typically varies from once every three days to once every six, with post–call days always off. Some specialty services (Urology and Plastic Surgery) do not require in-house call, but first–year residents will take call from home and report to the hospital if required.
At Mount Sinai, Physician Assistants and Nurse Practitioners assist first- and second-year residents with routine care, which maximizes operating and learning opportunities for residents.

Alabama or USC: Could Pat Hill be returning to the college game?
[dropcap]C[/dropcap]ould Pat Hill be returning to the college game?
It looks like a strong possibility.
Hill, the former Fresno State head coach, was fired in December 2011 after 15 seasons with the Bulldogs. He spent last season as the Atlanta Falcons' offensive line coach.
The Falcons offensive line performed well and Hill admits he had fun coaching in the professional ranks, but sources indicate that he is itching to be a college head coach again and his best route may be a return through college.
Enter Nick Saban and Alabama, who just so happens to have a coaching history with Hill and is in need an offensive line coach following Jeff Stoutland's departure to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Hill has tremendous respect for Saban, dating back to the early 90s when they both coached under Bill Belicheck on the Cleveland Browns' staff. Saban and Hill were in Cleveland together from 1992-94 with Saban as defensive coordinator and Hill the offensive line and tight ends coach.
Just after Stoutland left for Philadelphia, Saban reached out to Arkansas offensive line coach Sam Pittman but was rebuffed. Sources indicate that he's also spoken to Hill and that a deal could be currently in the works.
If nothing happens with Alabama, USC may also be a possibility. Speculation is rampant that USC is in the market for an offensive line coach, with current Trojan offensive line coach James Cregg being reassigned to tight ends coach or let go entirely.
Lane Kiffin recently tried to hire Oregon State offensive line coach Mike Cavanaugh but was turned down.
Like Saban, Kiffin also has a history with Hill. Kiffin served as a GA on Hill's staff at Fresno State in 1997-98, and hosted Hill during his first spring practice as the Trojans' coach in 2010.
Hill recently told the Fresno Bee that he enjoyed his season in Atlanta and away from the limelight.
"I had a lot of fun, and I didn't have to talk to the media once," he said with a laugh.
"I'll be here for another season, for sure."
That was before the Alabama or USC job openings were known. Could a job the caliber of Alabama or USC be enough to change his mind?

Canada geese could be hunted into late January under a proposal the Division of Wildlife Resources will present at an upcoming series of public meetings.
The DWR will also present cougar hunting recommendations for Utah's 2005-2006 season.
Those who attend the meetings can learn more about the proposals and can provide their input and suggestions. Citizens representing Utah's five Regional Advisory Councils will take the public input received to the Utah Wildlife Board when it meets Aug. 11 in Salt Lake City to approve Utah's 2005 - 2006 waterfowl, cougar and furbearer proclamations.
Meeting dates, times and locations are as follows:

DWR biologists are in the process of determining the number of cougar hunting permits that will be available next season and possible changes in how cougars are hunted in Utah.
One possible change involves a split season on Utah's harvest objective units. During the first few weeks of the season, the units would be open to hunters who drew a permit to hunt them. After the first few weeks, the units would open to all hunters with a harvest objective permit.
"The Utah Wildlife Board has directed us to consider a split season on harvest objective units, and we're working out the details," said Kevin Bunnell, mammals program coordinator for the DWR. "We'll have the details worked out by the time the RAC meetings start, and I encourage people to attend the meetings to learn more and provide their input."
Utah hunters could hunt geese into late January under a DWR proposal that would shut Utah's 107-day Canada geese season down for two weeks in December. The season would reopen in December and would run until the end of January.
"We think this proposal will increase the success Canada goose hunters find next season," said Tom Aldrich, waterfowl coordinator for the DWR.
Aldrich said as soon as the hunting season starts in October, many of the Canada geese in Utah head for urban areas where they spend most of the season.
In January, the geese begin moving back to the marshes in preparation for the breeding season. Data the DWR has collected from four independent harvest surveys across the state shows the number of Canada geese taken by hunters starts to climb in early January.
"If the season is extended until the end of January, we think Canada goose hunters will be in for some great hunting and will take more geese," Aldrich said.
Aldrich says the number of Canada geese in Utah has increased over the past 40 years. "There are three times as many geese in Utah now as there was 30 to 40 years ago," he said.
Many of these geese are causing problems at golf courses and other urban areas where they spend much of the fall and winter, and where they can't be taken by hunters.
For more information, call the nearest Division of Wildlife Resources office or the DWR's Salt Lake City office at (801) 538-4700.

Dan Phillips and the Phoenix Commotion crew celebrate WM's grand opening. Waste Management of Houston, Texas--an international solid waste logistics company--commissioned Dan Phillips and crew to design the interior of a recycling education center in their new facility. Check out the coverage in the Houston Chronicle and the Huntsville Item as well as photos.
Congratulations go to Sheila Blake, Code Administrator for the City of Houston Public Works and Engineering Department, and Amanda Tullos, AIA, LEED AP, and Director of the Houston office of Green Building Services, and, of course, the Houston City Council for having the foresight to adopt such a far-reaching document. Many people worked very hard to achieve "Appendix R," and most certainly the appendix can be a model of how large metropolitan areas can respond to the social issues of affordable housing and overburdened landfills.
Every town, city, and metropolitan area in the nation has a procedure--adopted by that municipality--to ensure that new construction is done in such a way that the public health and safety are protected. Typically, this is done through the adoption of a building code, which specifies a minimum standard of protection for all construction. However, some cities go a bit beyond the adopted code and disallow some materials and procedures they deem not allowable for any number of reasons. Recycled materials usually fall into this category, since "used" materials are not consistent in quality, and could create a problem with a unified inspection strategy which would overwhelm the system.
"Appendix R," however, adopted by the City of Houston, is a guideline for designers, builders, engineers, architects, and ultimately city inspectors. It lists the kinds of "used" materials that will be allowed, predicated on considerable analysis and research. This way everyone is on the same page, and there is a unified strategy for inspecting these materials to ensure the public health and safety.
Read Appendix R...

Beautiful wedding photography for Lovers
We chatted via email. Corrina and me and we hit it off straight away. She wanted to have some portraits taken of herself and her boyfriend Cor and his son Melvin who is almost 14 years. Birthdays are coming up and what better gift than some nice photographs. We discussed dates and locations and agreed that they would come round to me as we have so nice rural backdrops that look great on photo.
So yesterday it we finally meet and we hit it off just like in our email conversations. The weather was great although dark thunderclouds seemed to ruin our date but luckily drifted off somewhere to the east.
So when we hit the road the sun was out and we managed to take some great shots. Melvin turned out to be quite a photography enthusiast and had some great ideas for poses. Here a preview, one of Melvins ideas and I love it. Through the shoot I could see him relax in front of the camera which is really great. We had a perfect afternoon.

You're doing some great work man. Good to see you keeping MP2 fresh :).
The purpose of the mod is to make Max Payne 2 more realistic and tactical, but at the same time to give a dramatic and cinematographic feel to the shootouts.
Here's the first Update for the Payne Effects 3 mod for Max Payne 2 made by The Silver, check it out!
Posted by The_Silver on Aug 7th, 2010
Here's the v1.1 Official Update for the Payne Effects 3 mod for Max Payne 2 made by The Silver!
It includes a lot of bugfixes and a smarter AI, so I suggest to everyone to update to the latest 1.1 release, mostly if you had problems or bugs with the first version.
As always, be sure to have read the Useful Tips before playing my mod!
You can download it from the download section, also it should be the last and still the only download.
If you have problems here's an alternative download source: Mediafire.com
You're doing some great work man. Good to see you keeping MP2 fresh :).
Frikkin' genious. This has got to be the best mod ever. Only thing I would add is the ability to move in the crouched position. Other than that, this mod is great. If only you could do this for Mona the Assassin.
First of all, this news is VERY OUTDATED, the FINAL version 1.5 of the mod is out.
Second, I understood the problem with the download of my Payne Efefcts 3 Mod v1.5 FINAL FULL, blame the new GameFront download country BAN, basically if you don't live in one of their "loved" countries they will prevent you from downloading from their servers, here's the news: Moddb.com
As you can see this bunch of ******** almost deliberately cut out a shitload of users preventing them from enjoying all these free mods and stuff, this is why I've uploaded my Payne Efefcts 3 Mod v1.5 FINAL FULL on a free filesharing site, so if you can't download directly from ModDB please download from my DROPBOX LINK BELOW instead of GameFront.

Former Oklahoma standout Blake Griffin said he believes Thunder forward Serge Ibaka should have been suspended at least one game for hitting him in the groin area in the Los Angeles Clippers' 108-104 loss Sunday at Staples Center.
OKC Thunder notebook: Blake Griffin believes Serge Ibaka should have been suspended
Griffin also believes the Thunder's nationally televised (TNT) game against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night at Chesapeake Energy Arena also might have had had something to do with Ibaka getting a $25,000 fine rather than a suspension.
"From what I heard, I guess he's saying he was just trying to get his hand away from mine," Griffin told ESPN.com. "I actually didn't have his hand. He had my arm, so I don't know how it's going to be interpreted. It is surprising (he won't be suspended), but it is a big game (Tuesday) and I don't think they want one of their ... I really don't know. It's a big game."
Griffin said he watched a replay and doesn't understand how Ibaka wasn't ejected or suspended.
"I don't really see how it can be let go," Griffin said, "but I'm not going to do anything about it. I'm not going to cry and complain."
Ibaka said "there wasn't any intent" to injure Griffin and he was "just trying to get good position."
Thunder center Kendrick Perkins backed Ibaka and said Griffin is known for flopping.
"I saw some of Kendrick's comments, and they didn't make sense to me, to be honest," Griffin said. "I think what he was trying to say is I was grabbing his jersey and I started it all and I deserved to be hit where I was hit. But if I started swinging every time I got my jersey tugged at, I probably would be swinging on every single play."
The Thunder tied an NBA record for fewest turnovers in a game with two in its 122-105 victory over the Lakers on Tuesday night, and the first turnover might have been a blown call by the officiating crew if the ball actually was deflected off the Lakers and not OKC, and many believe.
Even with the stellar performance, the Thunder failed to move up the league leaders in turnovers (15.5) and is tied for 28th with Washington, ahead of only Houston (16.3).
"It's just one of those things," Thunder coach Scott Brooks said, trying to explain Tuesday's remarkable feat. "It's not like we're not aware that we turn the ball over 15 times a game, but I like the guys continuing to figure out ways not to turn it over."
Brooks then playfully deadpanned: "We're going to talk about those two tomorrow."

Canonical is still working hard on the Mir display server, and a developer has just posted an important update regarding the evolution of Mir.
The Mir display server was initially scheduled for launch in Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, but the Ubuntu developers decided that it wasn't quite ready for the public. Another problem was that some applications would not work on Mir, for obvious reasons, and Chromium is just one of them.
Ubuntu developer Robert Carr has brought us some good news on this front and announced that Chromium has been ported successfully on the Mir display server, and he even has video proof to show for it.
Getting Chromium to work on Mir doesn't seem important at first glance, but you have to keep in mind that it's also the base for Google Chrome and Opera (if the Opera developers decide to release a Linux version anytime soon).
If Chromium works on Mir, it also means that it works on Unity8, the version that is now used on Ubuntu for phones and tablets. The desktop build could arrive as soon as Ubuntu 14.10 (in October, 2014), but there is no guarantee.
"As an Ubuntu developer, focused on the Ubuntu Touch mobile story, this is even more exciting though! Chromium running on Mir is the first and biggest step towards running Chromium in Unity 8, ensuring a diverse browser ecosystem for the future of Ubuntu," said Robert Carr in the announcement, which he shared on Google+.
Besides the obvious functionality of Chromium, the developer also showed WebGL working without a hitch, Google Maps, and even YouTube. For more technical details about the porting process, you can check the developer's announcement on Google+.

We used to be a family that for dinner we had a main course of meat, a veggie, and a carb side dish. Since beginning this I have discovered if I can cut back on my carb side dish and filling it up with fresh veggies, I feel so much better! I consume fewer calories, I get the vitamins and minerals that my body needs, and I feel healthier and get sick less! Instead of the baked fries go for some baked broccoli or baked cauliflower! Instead of a granola bar for a snack go for an apple!
Having difficulty eating your fruits and veggies? Eat them at the start of your meal, when you're really hungry. They'll taste better if you're hungry than if your stomach is already full, and you won't have to make up excuses for not eating them. Works for me everytime, and in fact, this made me realize that most fruits and veggies taste in fact extremely good and are very refreshing! I'm no longer struggling to eat them, I just eat them first!26745
In order to get a lot of the good stuff(fruits and veggies) in, I make smoothies which are easier to drink. 482I find it really hard to sit and eat each fruit or veggies separately. I also cut up, sauté, and put my veggies in spaghetti sauce.267
I have found the easiest way for me to eat my fruits and veggies during the week is to pack them all on Sunday. I spend about an hour or so cutting up carrots and other veggies and bagging them in serving sizes. I then take my apples/oranges or whatever fruit I have on hand and I put them in groups in the fridge. This makes it easy to grab my healthy snacks each day as I run out the door.

This study will assess the outcomes of using magnetic navigation to treat ventricular tachycardia (VT) or premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) that occur for unknown reasons and are not related to structural heart disease.
Ventricular Tachycardia
Device: RF Ablation
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort
Time Perspective: Prospective
|Official Title:
|RF Ablation of Idiopathic VT and PVCs Using Remote Magnetic Navigation
- Change in 24-hour Holter Monitor (number of extra ventricular beats) [ Time Frame: Change from Holter Monitor Pre-procedure vs. 6-Months Post-procedure ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Use of the MNS in mapping and ablation of idiopathic VT will lead to a 75% reduction in the number of individual ventricular ectopic beats 6 months after the procedure. Extra ventricular beats will be counted using a 24-hour Holter monitor pre-procedure (obtained no more than 30 days prior to the procedure) compared to a 24-hour Holter monitor 6 months post-procedure.

Ablation of VT/PVCs using a magnetic RF ablation catheter
Device: RF Ablation
Ablation of arrhythmogenic ventricular tissue
Other Names:
Detailed Description:
During conventional ventricular arrhythmia ablation procedures, simply contacting the cardiac wall can significantly alter the electrocardiogram. Induction of ventricular ectopy is important in determining the focus of the arrhythmogenic tissue during an electrophysiology (EP) procedure; however, instrumentation with stiff ablation catheters can temporarily eliminate VT during the mapping portion of the procedure making it difficult to track the arrhythmia prior to ablating the tissue responsible for its genesis. The catheters used with the Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System (MNS) are less stiff compared to manual catheters since no pull wires are required to deflect the distal tip. Large external magnets positioned on either side of the EP procedure table create a magnetic field within the patient's chest. These large magnets (in direct relationship to the magnetic field) can be manipulated using specialized software. The physician controls the distal tip of the catheter by using the software while remotely using a catheter advancing system (QuickCAS®, Stereotaxis, Inc, St. Louis, MO) to reach the desired location within the heart. The soft catheters may provide a unique quality to the electrophysiologist who may assist by providing accurate maps without temporarily eliminating the ventricular ectopy due to excessive mechanical forces applied to the cardiac tissue. This study will assess the physician's ability to appropriately map and ablate the ventricular substrate using remote magnetic technology. All devices are approved by FDA and no off-label use of the products is mandated within the protocol.

Board expected to vote on privatizing busing, custodians Monday
May 16, 2012
Goodrich- In May 2011 the Goodrich School Board voted 6-0 to OK a labor contract with the Custodians, Maintenance, Para-Pros and Transportation (CMPT) group that included a 5.5 percent reduction in compensation for the employees, saving the district about $120,000. About 61 employees were impacted by the concession. In addition, the district's 11 administrators/supervisors also made concessions.
An anti-privatization sign in Goodrich.
Now as a $1.6 million deficit looms for the upcoming 2012-13 school year, the board says more cuts are coming.
A vote Monday night is expected by the school board that could mean privatization for two groups of employees.
The plans were first discussed on May 7 when the school board members and administration gathered for a special meeting to discuss privatization for the custodial services and the transportation department. The money saving measures are necessary, say school officials, to help reduce a $1.6 million deficit. A balanced budget is needed by July 1.
"We've been taking a look at privatization in addition to other concessions," said John Fazer, district superintendent. "There could be some restructuring of positions in the district that could prevent privatizing."
The 15 regular Goodrich District bus drivers earn $15.84 per hour. Vision insurance is available for the drivers, who work at least 20 hours per week. The buses transport about 50 students in four runs per school day. There are also five part-time drivers at $14.26 per hour, not on contract.
The district received a bid from the Michigan Educational Transportation Services (METS) which offered drivers a 5 percent wage increase from the current salary and savings to the district is about $23,000-$28,700 per year. The current drivers can apply for the new positions. The district also received a bid from Dean School Transportation Services who responded with a full service contract, including suppling buses and a maintenance contract. The cost for the bid ranges from $651,000 the first year and escalates to $706,957 by the fourth year. The age of the buses will not exceed more than seven years.
In addition the board will discuss privatizing cleaning of the school buildings. The district currently employes two full time custodians while contracting with Flint based At Your Service for the remainder of the school buildings. Eleven companies responded to the bid request.
Karen Lovell, a Goodrich bus driver for more than 12 years and vice-president for the Custodians, Maintenance, Para-Pros and Transportation (CMPT) labor group representing 15 drivers responded to the proposal.
"We lose our retirement, no sick days, no paid holidays, no vision to name a few," she said. "But given we already gave up 5.5 percent in consessions last year we've now lost 28 percent even with the 5 percent increase from METS. We're losing substantially."
"It's sad. Especially when you're making a difference with the community—we've been driving the second generation of students on our buses. These are friends, neighbor kids, we have a vested interested. It's just a $20,000 savings—we only need to lose three students and that savings is gone."
President of Goodrich CMPT Betty Butterworth has 19 years as a driver said she will not apply for the METS job.
"I'm not going to take a 28 percent wage decrease," said Butterworth. "We will be allowed to apply for our jobs—but actually Goodrich is letting us go. There's no guarantee we're going to be hired. It's the safety of our students that's at stake here with the drivers. We have come in to the administration with many cost cutting ideas but they just don't seem interested."
"I think the drivers would all apply at the neighboring school districts—they (drivers) are in demand. You'd have to start at the bottom in other schools but Goodrich is the lowest paid district anyway. Other drivers are paid more per route and with benefits. We've tried to keep our costs down to avoid this and have a year left on our contract. On Wednesday the drivers planned to go door-to-door to inform residents of the issue. In addition the group will be at the Goodrich Flea market on Saturday and plan a rally prior to Monday night's meeting."
Maureen McCallister, a representative of Michigan Education Association of Privatization Snap attended the meetings.
"The minimal savings for the bus drivers is minimal to what this district will lose in their community. Most of these drivers live in the community and care about the kids. Most districts that do outsource jobs for a year find out they are not saving money and have lost the local control. No longer will the district be able to handle concerns about bus drivers, discipline, etc. Turn-over rates are higher in private companies."
"The bus drivers and custodians were promised last year if they took a 5 percent pay cut for their contract they would not be privatized. They haven't gotten through one year of the contract, and that commitment and promise to them is being broken. The district is not giving us much time, especially when you are dealing with people's livelihoods."

Donatelli Finally Joins HP, But Can't Work on Storage (Yeah, Right)
After 22 years at EMC, David Donatelli is now an employee of Hewlett-Packard. HP got its man, but it (legally) won't be able to make use of his storage expertise for a year. So Donatelli, one of the top storage executives in the industry will have to spend his time learning about and working on servers and networking equipment, delaying HP's plans to put together a business unit under a single leader that can sell integrated packages of servers, storage and networking gear for enterprise data centers.
A Massachusetts state court modified an earlier court order on Tuesday and allowed former EMC executive Donatelli to join HP, but he won't be allowed to work on storage initially. HP issued a statement that said Donatelli began work at the company after the order was entered by the Suffolk County Superior Court.
"Donatelli will serve as executive vice president of Enterprise Servers and Networking," HP said. "Due to certain restrictions in the court's most recent order, Dave Roberson, senior vice president and general manager of the StorageWorks division, will report directly to Ann Livermore, executive vice president of the Technology Solutions Group at HP, until the order is lifted. HP is pleased with the court's recent decision and looks forward to the contributions Donatelli will make to HP's business."
The StorageWorks division was suppose to supervised by Donatelli and become part of the server and networking business unit.
EMC said it was pleased that the court upheld parts of the non-compete agreement that were part of Donatelli's employment contract with EMC. "The judge has entered an order as proposed by EMC that precludes Mr. Donatelli from being engaged in any aspect of HP's business that overlaps or competes with EMC's storage business for a 12-month period," an EMC spokesman said, according to a story by the Reuters wire service.

home renovation

Home renovation is mush easy.Renovation
Renovation is a much more specific term. It means, quite literally, to make new again. An out-of-date kitchen, updated with new finishes and fixtures, has been renovated. An item can be replaced with something new. Replacing old windows with new ones is a renovation project. Makeover of bedrooms is renovation. Change wallpapers.
This is the most common solution to creating new living space .this involves redesigning the space in home, adding new rooms or somehow new story to home.
When we talk about cost of home renovation it may be hundreds dollars after a specific period but others it goes to thousand dollars. The cost of repair anything is less then cost of replacement. But at expiree of that thing you must replace it instead of repair.
You cant stay in same environment for several years. Home renovation brings improvement and changes in your home environment and according to the Doctors change and improvement are good for health. You cant stay in same environment for several years.
Take care of property is major tool for increase value of property and the only way to take care of your living place is Home Renovation.
Following is the checklist to check for home renovation.
a) Replacing interior doors
b) Replace existing plumbing fixtures
c) Replace cabinets or repair
d) Floor coverings
e) Replace existing light lights, switches or repair
f) Glass replacement for windows or repair
g) New sod or lawns
h) Exterior paint
i) Interior paint
j) Wallpaper
To home renovate you can do it by yourself if dont want to remove walls or pillars for create space or build new things. If want something like change in building structure its more appropriate to contact with a contractor.
Using contractor
If you want to renovate by contractor make sure to go very impotent tip.
Be aware of contractor who claims to be specialists in all areas of construction/renovation. This is rarely the case.
Be aware of contactors who claim to be specialists in ALL areas of construction/renovation. This is rarely the case. Avoid contractor demanding money upfront, before any work is done. When you make payment check things done in way which you want or you choose.
A contractor should capable to evaluate the homeowners desires and try to create that within these factors
1: The building codes
2: What the structure of building allow
3: Budget of owner
If you want to do it yourself and make some things in your own style

We are looking to update our home and are wondering what is the best way to get the money for this. We always have a LOC on our house so that is not an option.
We have never done this before, so we are not sure where to even look as far as getting the money to do this. Personal loan? Personal LOC? 401K?

County Issues Burn Ban
Houston County Courier - March 2009
Houston County is back under a burn ban as of 10 a.m., Monday, March 2. This is a 7-day burn ban issued by Houston County Judge Lonnie Hunt which runs until 10 a.m. Monday, March 9, unless extended by the commissioners court.
Houston County Commissioners Court will meet Monday, March 9, 9 a.m., to make that determination and to meet at its rescheduled time from Tuesday, March 10, 10 a.m.
The Declaration of Disaster and Order Prohibiting Outdoor Burning states "the county is under imminent threat of severe damage, injury of loss of life or property resulting from the threat of wildfires due to extremely dry grassland fuel, drought and other weather related conditions."
All outdoor burning is prohibited in the unincorporated areas of Houston County; however, the order does not prohibit outdoor burning activities carried out by Federal Certified Agencies.
The state currently has 80 percent of counties under a burn ban.

IVF and Prednisone

Hi Dr, B,
Why do you think so many RE's at the bigger clinics are so against prescribing Prednisone after IVF retrieval? I'm at one of the bigger clinics in NYC and they only prescribe Medrol and Zpack during retrieval. I tested for immune issues but you didn't consider them high enough to be abnormal however, when I did a IUI with you you prescribed Prednisone. It was a chemical but still pretty good considering I never got preg on an IUI. Unfortunately I didn't do this IVF cycle with you because of certain circumstances although I think you are really one of the most knowledgeable RE's I've encountered!!! But If this round doesn't work for me I'll be in touch. When I asked my current RE about the prednisone he said that there was no reason (even with endometriosis and two mc's) that he should prescribe it.
Thanks so much
Dr. Braverman

RE: IVF and Prednisone
Hi Kat, Im sorry this cycle didnt work for you . There are several things you need to do in an IVF cycle in patients with endo to improve outcome. I dont know why your RE is against prednisone as it has been shown to be helpful in these cases. I hope it works out for you . Thank you for the kind words. Im here if you need me.

Video: New Jersey Professor Angrily Claims Stalin Killed Nobody
Posted By yihan On November 26, 2012 @ 2:53 pm In Featured Stories,Old Infowars Posts Style,Tile | Comments Disabled
Communist professor an apologist for mass murder
Paul Joseph Watson
November 26, 2012
A shocking video has emerged which illustrates how American colleges are infested with Marxist professors who are nothing less than apologists for mass murder.
The clip shows Montclair State University English Professor Dr. Grover Furr angrily proclaiming that one of history's most brutal dictators – Joseph Stalin – was not guilty of a single crime.
A member of the audience asks why Furr had denied communist regimes were responsible for mass killings, noting that Nikita Khrushchev apologized for Stalin's murders in 1956.
"What you said is bullshit! It's wrong! It's a lie!," responds Furr, adding, "But of all of the falsifications that go on in the school systems in this country – this world, Soviet history is falsified the most. I have spent many years researching this and similar questions that I have yet to find one crime – yet to find one crime – that Stalin committed. I know they all say he killed 20 or 30 or 40 million people. It's bullshit!"
Furr then bizarrely claims that the United States has the lowest standard of living amongst industrial nations because it has failed to embrace socialism, despite the fact that figures routinely show the United States to be in the top 10 of the countries with the highest living standards.
As to Furr's claim that Stalin killed nobody and was not responsible for one crime, even the Soviet Union's own internal documents admit that Stalin was responsible for at least 3 million deaths, a figure that doesn't even include famines, massacres and many other factors.
The vast majority of serious academics and historians put the figure at around 20 million as a base number.
Hat Tip: American Thinker.
