In the scene after Zefram's ship goes to warp, when the ship is being turned around to return home, Cochran remarks "Is that the Earth? It's so... small" He wouldn't have been able to see it, provided the distance the ship just flew. Warp 1 is the speed of light and in a 1 minute flight, the Phoenix would have travelled over 10 million miles - at that distance the earth would just appear like a bright star.
When the Phoenix turns, the Earth appear to be about a third of a degree across. Four and a third million miles, or 23 light seconds. I figure that in the 55 second of screen time the Phoenix didn't just go straight out and then stop, but was traveling in a curve.
Either than, or some of the scenes with the interior of the Phoenix, and the interior of the Enterprise were occurring concurrently within the movie's timeline. The Phoenix simply wasn't at warp for a near minute, but only a couple of dozen seconds.

A sea of blue is converging on Louisville this week as an estimated 56,000 students and advisers arrive to town Wednesday for the 2013 National FFA Convention & Expo.
In anticipation of their arrival, we rounded up a list of celebs (including one notable Louisvillian) who wore the organization's signature blue corduroy jacket long before they landed on the A-list.
Prior to Jimmy Carter ruling the Oval Office, the former president was showing off this leadership skills in the FFA, and long before Taylor Swift was belting out hit songs and racking up Grammy Awards, she was involved in the organization.
Other superstars who were formerly in the FFA include Tim McGraw, Willie Nelson and "Garfield" creator Jim Davis. And, before Louisville chef Anthony Lamas was whipping up culinary creations at Highlands eatery Seviche, The Buzz hears he was an FFA member.
If you'd like to rub elbows with FFA students while they're in town Wednesday through Nov. 2, there's still time to sign up to be a volunteer. Register at http://lou.ly/ffavol13. For questions or assistance registering, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 502-814-2746.

July 17, 2009 http://www.learningpartnership.org/en/advocacy/alerts/iranwomenarrests0307
Shadi Sadr, a lawyer and prominent women's rights activist working with the One Million Signatures Campaign, was arrested today by plain clothes security officers and taken to an undisclosed location. The men pulled her into a car as she walked along a busy road, and beat her as she struggled to escape.
Ms. Sadr, a journalist, member of Meydaan (Women's Field), director of Raahi (legal advice center for women), and founder of Zanan-e Iran (Women of Iran--the first website dedicated to the work of Iranian women's rights activists), has written extensively about Iranian women and their legal rights.
Ms. Sadr's violent arrest marks an escalation in attacks against human rights activists by the Iranian government since demonstrations protesting Iran's disputed presidential election results. It follows the arrests and disappearances of numerous other human rights defenders, social justice activists, and journalists. Reports from inside Iran indicate that hundreds more protestors have been killed than government reports suggest. Many families are unable to locate their loved ones, and are searching through hospitals, photographs of corpses, police stations, prisons, and inquiring at the Revolutionary Court.
The recent political protests have brought on increased persecution of women's rights activists, who have been regularly arrested and harassed since 2006 for peacefully advocating for their equal rights before the law. They have faced charges such as "acting against the national security of the state," "propaganda against the state," and "disrupting public opinion" and, most recently, for membership in the One Million Signatures campaign itself. Many are serving suspended sentences, and face regular harassment and persecution by the government.
We call upon the women's rights community and all human rights activists and organizations to speak out in defense of Shadi Sadr and all those who are being unjustly persecuted.
Please write to local and international media, mobilize your social networks, and urge your policy makers and embassies as well as UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon and High Commissioner for Human Rights Navanethem Pillay to take action to protect the basic human rights of all those who are being abused and arrested in Iran.

Thank you for letting us know about this. I already put this in my facebook and asked all my Spanish speaking friends to write a letter. But I am wondering if it is possible to open a cause page where it would be easier for them to just fill in the blanks and sign. Let me know. We need to do this right. We should not leave alone. Let's work!
Jacqueline Patiño FundActiva Tarija - Bolivia South America www.jap21.wordpress.com
Hey Jackie! do you mean a cause page on facebook? an alternative is to draft a petition and send it round your friends to endorse.
Hi Fatima,
Its a real pity to know how people who actually stands up against an evil cause, is brutally killed,murdered and slaughtered like animals. Its high time we should stand against these odds and do something fair and justified.
With Warm Regards,

Friday's Art Walk will be from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. It will feature exhibits and events in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, welcome new businesses to downtown, and run concurrent with the Four Corners Storytelling Festival at the Totah Theater.
The seventh annual "Unhooked" decorated bra show at Artifacts Gallery and Chile Store will bring awareness to breast cancer and will benefit the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Fund. The exhibit is geared toward raising awareness of breast cancer and promoting women to get mammograms and perform regular self-exams.
The bras are donated by local artists and will be for sale along with pink artwork, said gallery owner and artist Bev Taylor.
Artifacts also will feature a tasting of assorted chile products.
"We might just bust out some chocolate habanero fudge sauce," she said.
The "Get Pinked Art Auction and People's Choice" show at the TRWC and InCahoots! Gallery also plans to bring awareness to breast cancer and benefit the Cathy Lincoln Memorial Fund.
The annual "A Healing ARTmosphere," exhibit and auction at the Three Rivers Banquet Room will bring awareness to domestic violence. The San Juan County Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Task Force is expected to host the event. The auction will close at 8 p.m.
All proceeds from the auction are planned to go toward raising domestic violence awareness and the support resources available to victims, said Georgette Allen, a victim advocate with the Farmington Police Department. The task force hopes that the exhibit will continue to grow, attract more artists and patrons.
An annual candlelight vigil will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Orchard Park in observance of Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
An annual favorite is the Quilters Guild show at the Civic Center, which will celebrate the state centennial this year. The show will feature hundreds of quilts, a small-quilt silent auction, raffle and quilt challenge.
Friday's Art Walk also plans to welcome three new businesses to downtown and celebrate the return of a studio.
B&B Bridal & Tuxedo Junction, Sherrie's Studio and SnS Skate Shop all recently moved to locations in downtown and look forward to growing business in the area.
"We're really excited," said Randy Large co-owner of Sherrie's Studio. "It's been really good. Downtown offers more opportunities. We're excited to be part of downtown, part of that renaissance."
Emerson Gallery will celebrate their return to downtown, at 121 W. Main St., with new work by Anthony Chee and Zachary Emerson.
The Fall Art Walk is historically the largest of the four annual Art Walks, and organizers hope that it continues to grow.
"The tricky thing about downtown is the traffic," said Ken Collins, a member of the Art Walk Committee. "You have to put people on the sidewalk, but we're just excited. We've got people moving back in to downtown."
For more information about the Fall Art Walk, contact Ken Collins at 505-947-0422 or Elizabeth Isenberg at 505-599-1419.

Here is what I've done so far in terms of trouble shooting.
- Replaced the mother control board (gonna be sending that back soon)
- opened and cleaned the water removal pump and the hoses connected to it
- Removed the tube from the water level control/pressure plate and blew through it to make sure the build up gunk had not clogged it.
I have a timer control that i got on ebay on the way, but what I don't understand is how the pump could bring in water in the initial fill, and then get stuck on bring in water during the rinse. Since I'm doing this repair myself, I'm just not sure how at this point to isolate the problem without getting every single related part and just swapping like a madman. My wife is getting pretty mad at me about having bought a lemon, and I frankly don't have the money do anything but get this working myself. Help!!

5-Year Term Sought for Convicted Indiana Financier...
Created by kblakeslee on 11/26/2012 3:50:39 PM
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The attorney for an Indianapolis financier convicted of swindling about $200 million from investors said he'll ask a judge to sentence his client to only five years in prison, but a probation report recommends a maximum sentence of 225 years.
Timothy Durham is due to be sentenced Friday on his June convictions for securities fraud, conspiracy and 10 counts of wire fraud in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis.
Durham attorney John Tompkins told The Indianapolis Star for a story Monday that the defense believes a five-year sentence is well supported by the law. Tompkins has argued the government caused the collapse of Durham-led, Ohio-based Fair Finance by ruining its reputation.

November 28, 2015
AUSTIN (November 17, 2012)--Texas House Speaker Joe Straus presided over what arguably was the most-conservative legislative session in state history last year, but his bid for another term faces a challenge from the right.
The tea party and grassroots conservatives are clamoring that the San Antonio Republican didn't do enough to limit government and let some conservative pet projects die without becoming law.
Straus unseated Republican Speaker Tom Craddick in 2009 and then overcame two challengers from within his own party to retain his post two years ago, winning support from GOP representatives but also from Democrats.
This time he's facing Republican Rep. Bryan Hughes who says he's more conservative than Straus.
The speaker may have to contend with his party's conservative wing while also appeasing Democrats, some of whom are angry about his leadership in 2011.

|Aggressive intervention of previable preterm premature rupture of membranes.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22536879 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Objective. To assess the neonatal and maternal outcomes complicated by previable preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM). Design. Retrospective study. Setting. Tertiary referral hospital. Sample. Forty-five women having aggressive intervention with antibiotics, amnioinfusion, cerclage and tocolysis. Methods. The hospital database between July 2001 and December 2009 was reviewed for women with singleton fetuses and PPROM before 23(+0) weeks' gestation. We analyzed maternal and neonatal characteristics. Main Outcome Measures. Neonatal survival without major morbidity. Results. Thirty-eight infants were delivered alive and seven were stillborn. Ten infants died in the neonatal intensive care unit and one on the labor ward. Twenty-seven live-born infants survived to discharge from hospital. Survival rate of pregnancies with aggressive management was 60% (27/45); that of live-born infants was 71.1% (27/38). The median gestational age at PPROM and at delivery were significantly lower in the non-surviving group than the surviving group. Thirty-seven women (82.2%) had an amniotic neutrophil elastase level over 0.15 μg/ml. Only four women (8.9%) developed clinical chorioamnionitis. Overall, 90.7% of the women showed histologic evidence of chorioamnionitis. Eighty-three percent of the surviving children had bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Nine infants had serious sequela at corrected age of one and a half years. Maternal complications were uncommon. Conclusions. An aggressive treatment protocol for women with previable PPROM resulted in a high neonatal survival rate. Neonatal survival was associated with higher gestational age at delivery and with more frequent use of antenatal corticosteroids. The prognosis is still bad in PPROM before 22(+0) weeks' gestation.

Located in sunny Central Oregon on the dry side of the Cascade Mountains, we raise award-winning Bluefaced Leicesters from domestic and UK bloodlines via LAI (laproscopic artificial insemination). Lovely fleeces and roving in white and natural colored shades of gray are available throughout the year. Our flock is Certified Scrapie-free, Export Certified, OPP tested negative, and the entire flock has been Codon 171 tested. Put one of our RR rams to work in your flock.
Bluefaced Leicester sires are prized for their contributions to the commercial flock. These crossbred lambs will show an increased length of loin and lean growth, prolificacy and milkability, plus greatly improved fleece quality. The Bluefaced Leicester ewes are selected for maternal competence, productivity, disease and parasite resistance. The handspinner with a fiber-producing flock using BFL genetics will be rewarded with fleeces that have outstanding softness and handle, staple length and luster, drape in knitted items and weavings, fantastic felt, and vividly dyed fiber. Tumble Creek Farm welcomes visitors to the studio, barn and pastures. We have been at our present location since 2005 improving our pasture while enjoying the view of the Cascade Mountains. We have been located in Central Oregon since 1996 raising this beautiful breed of sheep.
Our sheep are currently working on farms in Canada, Alaska and across the United States. Reserve your flock today and see what the Blues can do for you.

COVENTRYŌĆö Beginning his military career at the age of 17, Capt. Richard Gaudet traveled to numerous countries and fought in multiple wars and prior to his recent retirement he was the last Vietnam veteran to be an active-duty Rhode Island National Guardsman.
Capt. Gaudet, who resides in Coventry, enlisted into the Army in 1971, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather.
ŌĆ£I think ever since I was a child I was interested in the military,ŌĆØ he said. ŌĆ£My grandfather served in World War I, my father served in World War II and my older brother served in Vietnam.ŌĆØ
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆö Chariho school committee member Dr. Ronald J. Areglado believes in the importance of appropriate behavior for school committee members, not only during meetings but in all of their interactions with school staff, parents and students. Recently, he asked for a review of the 2008 Code of Basic Management Principles and Ethical Standards for School Committee Members and proposed four additional tenets to the code.
CHARLESTOWN - On Nov. 12, only two months after the purchase of the land formerly known as Whalerock, the Charlestown Town Council discussed ways to protect the land from future development.
WOOD RIVER JUNCTION ŌĆö On Tuesday evening, the Chariho school committee voted unanimously to request a variance of RI Gen. Law 16-21-1 for the 2014-2015 school year. The law requires that all bus routes that transport students in kindergarten through fifth grade include a bus monitor in addition to the bus driver.
The variance will save the district $237,000, according to Chariho Regional School District Director of Administration Brian Stanley.
KINGSTONŌĆöAs a child in the Congo, Georges Budagu Makoko remembers the beauty surrounding his village, the freedom and peace in which his family members lived. After the mass genocide in Rwanda in 1994, however, the region would never be the same again.
ŌĆ£We never had to worry about what we were going to eat tonight,ŌĆØ said Makoko at the University of Rhode Island last Thursday. ŌĆ£If you have money or not, you will still live, because we produced everything we lived on.ŌĆØ
Flu season is upon us.
The 2013-2014 flu season began last month and the disease will likely spread as folks gather for the upcoming holidays. Before holiday travel and festivities enter full swing, Lee Ann Quinn, director of South County HospitalŌĆÖs Infection Prevention, Control and Safety Department advises everyone to get vaccinated.
The hospitalŌĆÖs final flu clinic will be held this Sunday, Nov. 17, at Christ the King Church in Kingston from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., however Quinn pointed out that flu shots are readily available at most pharmacies.
NARRAGANSETT- The Department of Environmental Management, in conjunction with the RI Party and Charter Boat Association and the Narragansett Department of Parks and Recreation, conducted the second recreational fishing opportunity and scientific survey program on Monday.
Every year, DEMŌĆÖs Division of Fish and Wildlife is required to collect 200 samples of tautog in a diverse range of sizes for analysis in its scientific monitoring program. Data collected during the fish survey are used in the age structured stock assessment for that species.

After working with iRacing.com Motorsport Simulations since May, 2005, today is my last day and from now on I will no longer be involved in any official capacity with the company. All Private Messages or messages to me on Facebook about iRacing will be directed back to email@example.com which is now answered by someone else. My wife and I are taking a small break next week and then the week after – starting from the end of the month – I will be working with Image Space Incorporated.
Some of the background on my new company:
ISI began with production of military simulators. They have worked on many different types of software but focused most of their development time over the years on racing games/simulators. Examples of older titles produced by the company include Sportscar GT and many F1 titles including F1 Challenge '99-'02 – all produced for Electronic Arts.
Their software is currently used by other simulation developers and many real-world racing teams, these customers license a version of the software from ISI and modify it for their own needs. Examples of those using this software are RedBull F1 and SIMBIN Development Team.
RedBull F1 – using their modifications to the customer version. rFactor Pro site.
Current public release software from ISI is of course rFactor. It is a standalone racing game/simulator anybody can buy and modify (to a lesser extent than the licensed version mentioned above). This has led to rFactor modifications (mods) which simulate just about every car and track which exists (and a few which don't exist).
rFactor was released in 2005 and has been updated a few times over the years. rFactor 2 is the next major update from ISI and from what I saw during my interview with the company in Ann Arbor, Michigan, it is something I am very excited to be involved in.

"They feel like they are an outsider and they adapt in a really deep way to not being part of us," he says. "It is an endlessly fascinating spectrum of the human condition, but there are people who are thwarted by survival instincts that kicked in when they were younger—someone was molesting them or hurting them when they were younger. They stood up to it and the pattern becomes one of defiance. You tend to use the tools you have in your toolbox. I do think that there is a survival mode, that a lot of people have gotten to where they just focus on what is in front of them."
In the 20 years since Withers and Sallows teamed up, Operation Safety Net has grown to include 20 employees and more than 100 volunteers, including physicians and nurses, all of whom have served thousands of homeless patients on the streets and in clinics.
The mission has expanded, too. "A lot of things have grown off of the initial house call vision of taking medical care under a bridge," Withers says. "We have housed more than 800 individuals in apartments over the past eight years. We have a severe weather center that we run and a lot of volunteers help serve food and other activities. Plus we have people who donate material goods."
There is even talk about building a curriculum around street medicine for medical students. "They are beginning to understand how popular it is and all the incredible intrinsic lessons it teaches for patient-centered care and meeting people where they are," Withers says. "An organization like ours creates a fabric within the street communities that lets people attach themselves and say, 'When I am ready, there is an option. There is someone who is not going to judge and dismiss me because I was having a bad day. They actually are accepting my reality, and who I am is okay.' "

|No Improvement in Survival of Patients with Amyloidosis Associated with Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases -- Data from the Finnish National Registry for Kidney Diseases.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 18412307 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: To assess the incidence and outcome of renal replacement therapy (RRT) among patients with amyloidosis associated with inflammatory rheumatic diseases. METHODS: Patients with amyloidosis entering RRT from 1987 to 2002 were identified from the Finnish Registry for Kidney Diseases. Five hundred two patients were identified, 80% of whom had amyloidosis associated with an underlying rheumatic disease. They were followed from the time of entering RRT until death or until the end of 2003 using the Finnish national mortality files. RESULTS: During the study period, there was no decline in the number of patients with amyloidosis entering RRT. Mean age of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) increased significantly from 1987 to 2002 (p < 0.001). Male sex and a diagnosis of JIA indicated an increased risk of mortality. The median survival time after entering RRT was 2.11 years for RA (95% CI 1.93 to 2.69), 2.37 years for ankylosing spondylitis (95% CI 1.11 to 4.31), and 3.05 years for JIA (95% CI 2.19 to 4.23). The 5-year survival rates among patients with the corresponding diagnoses were 18% (95% CI 14% to 23%), 30% (95% CI 14% to 48%), and 27% (95% CI 14% to 41%), respectively. CONCLUSION: No decline was seen in the number of patients with amyloidosis associated with inflammatory rheumatic diseases accepted for RRT, but over the years, the age of patients with RA or JIA entering RRT was seen to increase. The outcome of patients with amyloidosis and endstage renal disease associated with rheumatic diseases remains poor.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - A former nightclub VIP host has been sentenced to two months in prison in connection with a $7 million tip-concealing scheme on the Las Vegas Strip.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal reports that U.S. District Judge Robert Jones also ordered 32-year-old Ali Olyaie to pay the government $29,196 in restitution for filing a false 2006 tax return.
Olyaie is one of five defendants who pleaded guilty in the tip scheme, which occurred at the Caesars Palace nightclub between 2005 and 2007.
Federal prosecutors say he hid the bulk of his tips, more than $256,000, from the Internal Revenue Service between 2005 and 2007.
Jones handed out a sentence eight months less than what prosecutors had recommended after Olyaie broke down in court and begged for leniency.

As we begin the year 2014, extreme weather is already at the forefront of many minds the world over. In the United States, most of the country has been gripped by sub-zero temperatures caused by a rogue polar vortex, while the state of California is experiencing drought conditions worse than any seen in several decades. How does astrology play in to our weather conditions? This article from Llewellyn's 2014 Moon Sign Book discusses how the outer planets affect our weather—and how we can use this astrological knowledge to protect our plants and gardens.

Our relationship to the celestial body Ceres is as complicated and volatile as our relationship to that which it rules: food and nourishment. In astrology, Ceres represents how we approach nourishment—physically, emotionally, and psychologically. At its worst, negative manifestations of the Ceres energy may result in the manipulative use of food as a control mechanism, while in its best, most harmonious manifestation, Ceres represents food that is used as a conduit of love. In this excerpt from Llewellyn's 2014 Moon Sign Book, examine how Ceres manifests itself through the signs.

The houses and signs that are occupied by the South and North nodes of the Moon illustrate the path our soul has taken and will continue to take in past, current, and future lifetimes. Using the birth chart of former President John F. Kennedy as an example, Evolutionary Astrologer Deva Green illustrates the importance of understanding our Nodal Axis and the signs and houses it occupies.

I'll admit it, I'm a total Twitter fanatic. Some mornings it's the first thing I check when I wake. It has quickly become a place I get my most up-to-date news, both practical and well, just downright gossipy. More than anything, though, it's become a place to make 'friends' and join a community of like minded folks. Here's a list of five local twitter feeds/personalities well worth the follow. Just like the popular twitter meme, it's #FF done the @weheartastoria way!
@AstoriaHaiku "The best and worst of Astoria, NY in my most beloved format: the Haiku. Mostly the worst."
This hysterical take on Astoria, and beyond, is largely written in the classic Japanese syllable counting poetry form. It's so catchy you'll find loads of Astorians writing their own Haikus to share with the master; my girlfriend has even taken to texting me in the form one she started following @AstoriaHaiku! Some examples of late, mostly about fall weather:
"It's horizontal / It's wind-driven, it's pelting / It's today's rainfall." "Cold, gray and drizzling / Standard autumn procedure / Nature is perfect"
@35thAndKaufman "What's happening around the Kaufman Astoria studio area – sightings, changes, and anything else of interest to this part of the neighborhood."
Live in what people are calling 'South Astoria' these days? Then this is the twitter feed for you. Plenty of great RTs from local shops, cafes, museums and more, this twitter feed is a great way to learn about the nighborhood surrounding Kaufman Astoria Studios. I've met the gal behind @35thandKaufman and she's just as nice in real life!
@zoraoneill "Guide- and cookbook author, compulsive taster, expert on Mexicos old and New, Arabic speaker, crafty packer, train taker, Queens dweller."
This Astoria resident isn't actually IN Astoria all that much. Her gigs as a travel writer and popular blogger take her all over the globe and her twitter feed is a great place to go along for the ride! Her recent trip to Egypt has been an action packed highlight.
@tastoriaqueens "This page combines two of my favorite things: food and Astoria. Follow me as I tweet the best part of meals and snacks I have in Astoria, Queens!"
Food, beer and more food! That's what you can expect from this chatty, friendly Astorian. Her new blog gives a little additional lovin' to her favorite local food haunts.
@astoriafication "THE ACT OF LIVING, LOVING, AND EATING IN ASTORIA, NYC"
The tagline sort of says it all! This guy is fun to follow, has lots to say about Astoria, and is just generally a great follow!
Obviously, there's more than just five amazing tweeters out there in Astoria! Here's some other people/brands/places to follow while you're at it:
@QueensKickshaw, @Handjobs4home, @MovingImageNYC, @AstorBakeShop,
@formliving, @gardenfreude, @VegAstoria, @FakeNTrain, @sacsplace,
@bradleyhawks, @OrnellaNYC , @QueensMuseum, @amymlitt,
@AstoriaMusicArt, @30thAveAstoria
When not busy with WHA duties, the ladies of WHA can be found at @Fooditka (Judith), @HarmoniousBelly (Meg) and of course me, @SITEnews. Tell us, who do you love to follow in Astoria?!

What does hydropower cost?
The actual cost of producing power will vary from power plant to power plant with one of the main variables being the size of the plant.
For example, since it could take as many people to operate and maintain a small one unit generator as it would to operate and maintain two larger generators, the cost of operation and maintenance per kilowatt produced would be higher for the smaller plant.
In general, the larger the hydroelectric plant, the cheaper the cost per kilowatt to produce the electricity.
When compared to other means of producing electricity, hydroelectric production costs run about one third those of either fossil-fueled (coal or oil) or nuclear power plants, and is less than one fourth the cost of gas turbine electricity production.
The main contributing factor for the difference in this cost of production is the fuel costs for the other means of producing electricity.
The original plant cost for a hydroelectric plant is somewhat cheaper than either fossil fuel or nuclear plants.
Gas turbine plants are the cheapest to build but the most expensive to operate.
A detailed report on electricity cost production, Projected Costs of Generating Electricity - 2005 Update (IEA, 2005) is available from the IEA Bookshop.

Floating Hotel Will Be Among World Cup Attendees' Lodging Options in 2022

Most floating hotel projects don't make it past the planning stages, but those that do become popular for the novelty of their design.
Finnish Sigge Architects has designed a floating hotel which is aimed at accommodating football fans for the 2022 FIFA World Cup, scheduled for Qatar.
Admares Floating Real Estate is a partner in the project for a five-star facility including restaurants, spa, nightclub and rooftop pool.
It could be moved to another coastal location after the competition to cater for another big event and would not depend on location infrastructure because it would have an independent sewage treatment, power generation and recycling capabilities.
In a statement Admares said: "The floating hotel provides all the same services and amenities that are available in hotels constructed on land while simultaneously offering the additional experience of floating on water and all around access to exceptional views.
"A floating hotel is a viable option for areas where land is scarce, fully developed or challenging to develop.
"It be tailored to meet the exact needs of the operator in terms of the number of rooms, types of restaurants, number and location of pools, placement of balconies and terraces, which can all be altered to suit the purpose.
"The exterior architecture is fully customizable to suit the location's surroundings. In addition, a parking garage can also be built into the hotel complex, which guarantees available parking to guests even in fully developed city areas."

2013 will not be the year of the mobile wallet.
I received a note from a payments industry expert the other day, discussing hot topics for 2013. Ben Saren, vice president of marketing at payment processor Litle & Co., caught my attention on the subject of mobile wallets and mobile payments. He did not hold back. Here is what he had to say.
"People are never going to switch to mobile wallets as long as it's just as easy to pull out a credit card as it is to pull out your phone. There's no incentive to change the channel," Saren says. "Recent industry buzz would suggest that mobile payments and mobile wallet technologies are suddenly arriving on the scene. That is just not the case. This stuff has been around for a while. The problem is that no one has made the first move. Everyone is waiting on everyone else. Merchants are waiting for consumer adoption. Consumers are waiting for merchants to make the stuff available. Manufacturers are waiting for merchants to request the technology. And around we go."
Saren points to the high level of performance of the credit card networks as a primary hurdle for mobile payments.
"Consumers are not asking for this. We take for granted how easily and quickly we can pay for something with a piece of plastic," he says. "Love or hate the card networks, they have paved all of the highways and largely made them traffic-free. When you go to a retail location and buy something with a piece of plastic, the authorization happens in less than a second. That is absolutely outstanding. And in most cases, merchants see the settlement a mere hour later. So somebody needs to tell me how the system is broken today and why we need something else. I just don't see it. This one is not clicking for me, and I'm in the business."
Credit cards really are the culprit behind the lack of interest in mobile wallets and mobile payments. (Mind you, mobile payments in the form of consumers paying with credit and debit cards on m-commerce sites and mobile apps are doing just fine.) Mobile wallets today are not a better mousetrap, though to be fair, they are connected to the Internet in ways cards are not and can thus afford access to loyalty accounts and coupons.
When Near Field Communication, or NFC, wireless technology becomes prevalent on smartphones and cash registers enabling quick tap-and-go transactions, then maybe a better case can be made for mobile wallets. But even then, I doubt that will be any quicker than swiping a card. You'll still have to get your phone out of your pocket and turn it on, and perhaps launch an app.
Somewhere down the line, way down the line, I think making payments via smartphones will catch on, simply because of the central role smartphones are coming to have in people's lives. But that day will not come anytime soon due to a variety of hurdles, credit cards being perhaps the biggest. So beware the hype.

|Contribution of postnatally formed small beta cell aggregates to functional beta cell mass in adult rat pancreas.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20645074 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: Neogenesis of beta cells and their clustering to small aggregates is a key process in prenatal development of beta cell mass. We investigated the contribution of postnatally formed small aggregates to functional beta cell mass in adult rats.
METHODS: Conditions were defined for (1) counting total beta cell number in pancreases with relative error of <10% and (2) determining their distribution over aggregates of different size and over functionally different subpopulations.
RESULTS: Pancreases of 10-week-old male Wistar rats contained 2.8 ± 0.2 × 10⁶ beta cells, of which >90% was generated postnatally, involving: (1) neo-formation of 30,000 aggregates with diameter <50 μm including single cells; and (2) growth of 5,500 aggregates to larger sizes, accounting for 90% of the increase in cell number, with number of growing aggregates in the tail 50% greater than elsewhere. At 10 weeks, 86% of aggregates were <50 μm; compared with aggregates >200 μm, their beta cells exhibited a higher basal insulin content that was also resistant to glibenclamide-induced degranulation. The pool of Ki67-positive beta cells was sixfold larger than at birth and distributed over all aggregate sizes.
CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: We describe a method for in situ counting of beta cell numbers and subpopulations with low relative error. In adult rats, >90% of beta cells and beta cell aggregates are formed after birth. Aggregates <50 μm are more than 100-fold more abundant than aggregates >200 μm, which are selected for isolated islet studies. Their topographic and functional properties contribute to the functional heterogeneity of the beta cell population; their growth to larger aggregates with characteristic beta cell functions may serve future metabolic needs.

News Release: City No. 1 in Country for Veterans to LiveNovember 08, 2011It comes as no surprise to residents of Fayetteville that our All-America City is proud to be a wonderful place for veterans and their families to live. But that doesn't mean it's not nice to hear confirmation of that from outside sources.
Livability.com has named Fayetteville the No. 1 city in the country for military veterans to live.
"Given the fact that there is a very strong mutual respect between the community and the military in Fayetteville, this isn't a surprise," said Doug Peters, President and CEO of the Fayetteville-Cumberland County Chamber of Commerce. "Certainly the community continues to thrive because of the relationship that exists. And this ranking helps confirm that our city has truly embraced our strong military connections."
According to Livability.com, the cities "were chosen based on quality-of-life attributes that appeal to veterans such as moderate climate, low cost of living and unemployment rate, as well as availability of outdoor recreational opportunities and cultural amenities. Additional consideration was given to cities with proximity to military installations and VA hospitals."
Coming on the heels of winning the 2011 All-America City honor, Fayetteville has embraced all of the factors that went in to this recognition.
"We know it's important for veterans and their families to have access to quality medical care and social services," says John Hood, Livability.com spokesman, "so we chose cities with excellent health-care systems and VA hospitals. The cities on this list also tend to be more diverse, have excellent school systems and higher education options and greater opportunities for post-military employment."
Hood says Livability.com editors also looked at cities close to military bases, which give veterans access to other resources such as free legal advice and counseling, discounted food and household goods at the base commissary, and equipment rentals.
"One thing all 10 cities have in common is their inclusive nature and a proven history of community support for military families," Hood says.
In recognizing Fayetteville, Liveability.com said the city "has a military history that goes all the way back to the Revolutionary War. Fayetteville is considered America's First Military Sanctuary Community because of the strong support the city offers servicemen and their families. Businesses across the city offer deep discounts to current and former members of the military. Veterans have many options for services through Fort Bragg, nearby Pope Air Force Base and Camp Lejeune. A moderate climate with all four seasons, diverse population, quick access to both beaches and mountains, and a multitude of recreational opportunities help make Fayetteville a top choice for veterans and retirees."

The Impact of Supporting Local
By choosing to patronize locally owned establishments, you make a positive impact on our community in many ways. Here are just 5 of them:
1. Environment - By buying things made closer to home, you're cutting down on fossil fuel use, reducing your carbon impact and saving money.
2. Local Economy - Local businesses buy more often from other local businesses, so the money you spend is retained in the community in a more concentrated fashion.
3. Local Flavor - The experience at a local establishment is completely unique – providing the local flavor of the area
4. Community Care - Local entrepreneurs are more connected to our community, because they live here, too. They are more likely than their non-local businesses to get involved in community efforts.
5. Voicing Your Opinion - You are voting with your dollar to say, "Hey, I like this place and the neighborhood wouldn't be the same without it."

WASHINGTON -- What does an accomplished man of the world get for his 66th birthday?
Well, President-elect Barack Obama already gave Joe Biden the vice presidency. So, for his birthday, Obama gave Biden two ball caps and a rendition of the birthday song.
Biden's birthday is Thursday, but Obama surprised his No. 2 after their weekly lunch Wednesday at the transition office in Chicago. According to staff, Obama presented Biden _ a Delaware senator with decades of foreign policy experience _ with a dozen cupcakes decorated with candles and teased, "You're 12 years old!"
Staff reported that Biden, ever astute in the art of politics, laughed at the his boss's joke. He responded: "Maybe in dog years!"
Obama led the rest of the staff in song, then handed over some Chicago-themed gifts: a White Sox cap, a Bears cap and a bucket of Garrett's popcorn, a hometown favorite.
