L&I Zoning Unit
The Department of Licenses and Inspections (L&I) Zoning Unit reviews
all plans for development. About 60 percent are granted over the counter.
Applications that do not meet the requirements
of the Zoning Code may be appealed to the Zoning Board of Adjustment
(ZBA) for a variance.
An appeal to the ZBA requires a public hearing. L&I has a development

Zoning Unit 215-686-2430
Zoning Board of Adjustment
ZBA considers all applications for certificates, special-use permits
and zoning variances for any proposal that does not conform to the requirements
of the Zoning Code. The public hearing gives the community an opportunity
to be heard with regard to a proposed project. The process of obtaining
exceptions to the requirements of the Zoning Code is by appeal of a
refusal of permit to the ZBA. An appeal of any decision of the Zoning
Board must be filed within 30 days after the date of the decision. Fees
for zoning appeals: application fee $100 and appeal of a refusal $100
per single-family dwelling. When the Zoning Board reaches a decision,
it sends a written notification. If the ZBA rules in favor of a variance,
take the Notice of Decision issued by the Board to the Zoning
Unit. This Notice is necessary in order to process the permit.

Philadelphia Water Department
The City Planning Commission will identify projects requiring PWD review
and direct them to the appropriate department. The PWD Developers Committee
will work with developers to determine their water and sewer infrastructure
needs. In addition, PWD works with developers to implement low-impact
development features that may lessen the need for additional sewer infra-structure.
Stormwater management is a top priority for PWD. Developers must contact
PWD when:

The Fairmount Park Commission has jurisdiction over all park and street
trees in the City. Contact the Commission before planting, removing
or pruning work on street trees. Working with PCPC, the Commission must
approve all development proposals that involve tree planting. Section
14-2104 (13) of the Philadelphia Code requires street trees be planted
in all residential and apartment house subdivisions including land abutting
any street previously opened. Developers must send three copies of the
proposed plot plans to Operations and Landscape Management, Memorial
Hall, 4231 N. Concourse Drive, Philadelphia, PA 19131. The District
Arborist evaluates the site, contacts the developer and sends a site-assessment
letter. The cost is $300 per tree planted. Funds are escrowed. After
planting, the District Arborist inspects the site and, if approved,
issues the Refund of Escrow. Trees must be planted within two years
of the issuance of the Building Permit or the escrow is forfeited.

Philadelphia Historical
Commission (PHC)
Any work that changes the appearance of a property listed on the Philadelphia
Register of Historic Places must have the approval of the Philadelphia
Historical Commission (PHC) before L&I will issue a building permit.
PHC staff approve most permit applications within a few days of submission.
If the scope of work exceeds staff jurisdiction, the application must
be reviewed by the Historical Commission and its Architectural Committee.
PHC encourages applicants to meet with staff before the formal filing
of a permit application.
PHC staff provides technical assistance regarding historic preservation
and materials conservation. PHC can provide information on the architectural
history of Philadelphia, federal, state and local preservation regulations
and the Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit (see page 27). All
PHC services are free.
PHC meets on the second Friday of every month in City Council Caucus
Room, 401 City Hall. The Architectural Committee meets on the last Tuesday
of every month in the PHC office, 576 City Hall.
In addition to individually listed historic properties, the City contains
eight local historic districts:
1. Diamond Street
2. Franklin Delano Roosevelt Park
3. Girard Estates
4. Old City
5. Park Mall
6. Rittenhouse-Fitler
7. Society Hill

Energy Office Standards
Under the Uniform Building Code in Pennsylvania all homes must meet
the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). Energy Star standards
are only slightly higher than the IECC, making an Energy Star rating
an achievable goal that will provide increased market recognition and
value. Built-in energy-saving features increase revenue on every qualified
home and may allow buyers to afford upgrades, increasing builders
To participate in the free voluntary partnership:
Complete a simple Partnership Agreement form.
Work with a local energy rater to ensure your homes are designed
and built to meet the Energy Star guidelines.
Fix the Energy Star label on each qualifying home.
Use Energy Star promotional materials for your energy-efficient
Energy Star Homes features include effective insulation levels, energy-efficient
heating and cooling equipment, tight construction and ducts and high-performance
Verification is accomplished by using on-site inspections and diagnostics:
1) A Home Energy Rater uses the Home Energy Rating System (HERS) to
evaluate home plans and specifications.
2) Builder Option Packages (BOPs) offer a set of construction specifications
for a specific climate zone that enables a home to qualify for the label.

The South African Post Office has included artefacts from the Blombos Cave in its new stamp collection under the theme: Symbols of South African Cultures.
The Blombos Cave, near Still Bay in the Western Cape, was discovered in 1991 by Christopher Henshilwood, Professor in African Prehistory at the Evolutionary Studies Institute at Wits University and the AHKR Institute at the University of Bergen, Norway.
It is an archaeological site made famous by the discovery there of two pieces of ochre engraved with abstract designs, 75 000-year-old beads made from Nassarius shells, and 80 000-year-old bone tools. The engraved pieces of ochre are regarded as the oldest known artwork.
Announcing the new collection in a statement, the Post Office stated South Africa has a rich and diverse cultural history that goes back thousands of years. "Throughout the years, the different cultural groups have communicated their traditions, beliefs and social customs in a variety of forms such as religious objects, utensils, artefacts, clothing and accessories. Many of these have remained intact to tell their stories to this day," the statement reads.
The set of 10 stamps features some of these fascinating historical symbols, and includes:
The Blombos ochre (Earliest symbolic design in South Africa, Henshilwood, Witwatersrand and Bergen Universities): Unearthed by Henshilwood in 2000, this cross-hatched engraving represents evidence of the earliest symbolic behaviour of human beings.
Blombos Nassarius kraussianus shell beads (Oldest symbolic ornaments in South Africa, Henshilwood, Witwatersrand and Bergen Universities): These intentionally bored estuarine shell beads are 75 000 years old and represent the earliest and oldest evidence yet to be found for ornamentation in southern Africa. Worn around the human body, they communicated a message about the wearer to viewers – perhaps about age or status.
"I am delighted that they think that the Blombos artefacts are important enough to rank among the culture symbols of South Africa and that the Post Office made two special stamps that feature these artefacts. It is a great honour for our research team and for Wits and Bergen," says Henshilwood. Read more about the collection.

The show will feature impersonators singing like Lady Gaga and Elton John
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Jun 22, 2011
LAST UPDATED: 2:27 p.m. HST, Aug 5, 2011
The Legends in Concert, a celebrity impersonator show, is returning to its former home in the Royal Hawaiian Center, and this time owners say that it's going to be bigger than the one in Vegas.
The show, which is the result of a partnership between Las Vegas-based Onstage Entertainment Inc., owner of the Legends in Concert brand, and longtime Hawaii cruise and transportation operator Star of Honolulu Cruises & Events, will bring 70 jobs to Waikiki. It will also fill the 21,000-square-foot space left vacant when Roy Tokujo's Las Vegas-style show, Waikiki Nei, closed in 2008.
Legends in Concert Waikiki will debut Dec. 8 after the center's fourth-floor, 700-seat theater undergoes another multimillion-dollar renovation. The year-round Waikiki production kicks off with a six-day-a-week schedule offering cocktail shows and dinner packages.
It will feature performers paying tribute to perennial favorites like Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson as well as contemporary and classic characters including Lady Gaga, Elton John, Britney Spears, Rod Stewart, Madonna and Prince. The performers sing their characters' hits and do not lip-sync. Dancers and a live band will complete the show.
"It will be as big as our biggest show that we present anywhere in this world," said Brian Brigner, Legends in Concert's chief operating officer. "It will be the biggest show in our system — even bigger than Vegas."
Legends in Concert typically features more than 80 superstar personas that are rotated through its eight domestic and international venues; however, Brigner said that the Waikiki show will reflect this destination.
"We have a formula that has worked well for 28 years, but we are writing this show specifically for this market," he said.
The re-entry of Legends into Waikiki marks the culmination of nearly a decade of negotiations between the partners, said Ron Howard, Star of Honolulu's president.
"We've wanted to bring this show back for many years," Howard said. "The timing is right for many reasons. It's a great venue. There's not much in the way of night life in Waikiki. And, we expect strong demand from our customers."
Legends will be drawing on Star's 50-year reputation and expertise in the Hawaii market, Brigner said.
"Star is an investment partner that brings not only capital to the table, but also many valuable local connections and a wealth of experience in growing a successful business in Hawaii," he said.
The show will need strong marketing, honest management and financial stability if it is to succeed, said longtime Hawaii performer Tommy D, who played Roy Orbison for two years before the previous Legends show in Waikiki abruptly closed in 1999.
"We sold tickets on a Monday, and on Tuesday 128 people lost their jobs," he said. "This time around, I hope that it succeeds. The kids need work."
Ownership of the previous Waikiki Legends belonged to the now-defunct RBLS Partnership of Nevada, which licensed the brand name from Onstage but was not otherwise affiliated with the company. RBLS closed the show and filed for Chapter 7 liquidation after a drop in Japanese visitors, its primary market at the time, hurt revenues, and a 1997 lawsuit alleging the wrongful firing of two managers cost the company more than $550,000.
Since then at least four other impersonator shows, including Aloha Las Vegas — the one that gave Bruno Mars his start, have failed, Tommy D said.
"It's a tough business," said Keith Vieira, senior vice president and director of operations for Starwood Hotels & Resorts, which offers Creations at its Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel.
"We used to do 1,500 to 2,000 people a night in the '80s," Vieira said. "Now we play to about 200 to 400 people several times a week, and that's pretty good for this market. It's not deep enough to sustain a lot of shows. We have too many repeat visitors."
Onstage and Star of Honolulu bring stability, said Sam Shenkus, a spokeswoman for the Festival Cos., which manages the Royal Hawaiian Center for Kamehameha Schools.
"In the past it was a licensing agreement," Shenkus said. "This show is well funded by its partners, and it's operated by Onstage, a veteran producer with a tried and tested show. They've been entertaining people successfully for about 30 years, and the fact that they want to put their flagship here is really exciting."
The show's return signals recovery in Hawaii's visitor industry, said Momi Akimseu, the Hawaii Tourism Authority's tourism brand manager.
"The showroom has been empty for some years," Akimseu said. "It's a good sign that they want to reopen. It shows confidence in our visitor market."

Hathaway won for her role as a doomed single mother forced into prostitution in the adaptation of the stage musical based on Victor Hugo's epic novel. Her win came over four past Oscar recipients - Sally Field, Helen Hunt, Nicole Kidman and Maggie Smith.
"I'm just thrilled I have dental," Hathaway said. "I got my SAG card when I was 14. It felt like the beginning of the world. I have loved every single minute of my life as an actor. ... Thank you for nominating me alongside incredible women and incredible performances."
Jones was not at the show, but the win improves his odds to become a two-time Academy Award winner. He previously won a supporting-actor Oscar for "The Fugitive."
Earlier, the James Bond adventure "Skyfall" and the fantasy series "Game of Thrones" picked up prizes for best stunt work, honors announced on the red carpet before the official SAG Awards ceremony.
JoBeth Williams and Scott Bakula announced the winners, noting the value of stunt players, who often are overlooked for their contributions to film and television.
"The stunt men and women of our union are critical to the work that gets done," Bakula said. "They keep us healthy, they keep us alive, they keep us working. They keep our shows working.
The SAG honors are the latest show in a puzzling Academy Awards season in which Hollywood's top prize, the best-picture Oscar, looks up for grabs among several key nominees.
Honors from the actors union, next weekend's Directors Guild of America Awards and Saturday night's Producers Guild of America Awards - whose top honor went to "Argo" - typically help to establish clear favorites for the Oscars.
But Oscar night on Feb. 24 looks more uncertain this time after some top directing prospects, including Ben Affleck for "Argo" and Kathryn Bigelow for "Zero Dark Thirty," missed out on nominations. Both films were nominated for best picture, but a movie rarely wins the top Oscar if its director is not also in the running.
Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" would seem the Oscar favorite with 12 nominations. Yet "Argo" and Affleck were surprise best-drama and director winners at the Golden Globes, and then there's Saturday's Producers Guild win for "Argo," leaving the Oscar race looking like anybody's guess.
Affleck has made some nice jokes about his directing snub, wisecracking at one point that no one seemed surprised he didn't get an acting nomination for "Argo," either.
His colleagues just seem happy for all the attention the film has received.
"The thing is, we're all very pleased we've been nominated for so many things," ''Argo" co-star John Goodman said before the SAG Awards.
The Screen Actors Guild honors at least should help to establish solid front-runners for the stars. All four of the guild's individual acting winners often go on to receive the same prizes at the Academy Awards.
Last year, the guild went just three-for-four - with lead actor Jean Dujardin of "The Artist" and supporting players Octavia Spencer of "The Help" and Christopher Plummer of "Beginners" also taking home Oscars. The guild's lead-actress winner, Viola Davis of "The Help," missed out on the Oscar, which went to Meryl Streep for "The Iron Lady."
The guild also presents an award for overall cast performance, its equivalent of a best-picture honor. The nominees are "Argo," ''The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel," ''Les Miserables," ''Lincoln" and "Silver Linings Playbook."
Yet the cast prize has a spotty record at predicting the eventual best-picture recipient at the Oscars. Only eight of 17 times since the guild added the category has the cast winner gone on to take the best-picture Oscar. "The Help" won the guild's cast prize last year, while Oscar voters named "The Artist" as best picture.
Such past guild cast winners as "The Birdcage," ''Gosford Park" and "Inglourious Basterds" also failed to take the top Oscar.
Receiving the guild's life-achievement award is Dick Van Dyke, who presented the same prize last year to his "The Dick Van Dyke Show" co-star, Mary Tyler Moore. Van Dyke's award will be presented by his 1960s sitcom's creator and co-star, Carl Reiner, and Alec Baldwin.
"I'm so tickled. I'm so excited,' Van Dyke said before the show. "And I'm the only one who knows he's going to win."

In clashes that erupted during the weekly demonstration in Nabi Saleh, army forces invaded the village, shooting rubber-coated bullets and tear-gas canisters into private homes.
Eight People Arrested in Weekly Nabi Saleh Demonstration
The demonstrations against the Occupation in Nabi Saleh which have been taking place for over one year despite serious military repression have experienced major setbacks in recent months. The two leaders of the community, Bassem and Naji Tamimi, have both been arrested by Israeli soldiers along with 12 percent of the total population of the village. The demonstration yesterday saw eight people arrested among reckless and violent Israeli army behaviour.
Army Invades Nabi Saleh During Land Day Celebrations
Nabi Saleh held celebrations marking Land Day on Saturday with 200 Palestinian, Israeli and international supporters in attendance. The Israeli army quickly attacked the celebrations when villages approached a spring taken over by settlers. The army then invaded the village while firing large amounts of tear gas and rubber bullets. One Israeli supporter was lightly injured when a rubber bullet was shot directly at the demonstrator. Three Palestinians were arrested during the invasion.

It's crazy anyone is even still undecided at this point. Like, have you watched the vlogs? Make up your mind or whatever!
The plane is her generation's empty chair.
US american maps such as the iraq
i know that she probably is a "young american" but I seriously thought this lady was like 35 trying to look 18 at first.
Does anyone wanna take one for the team and recap it for me, I just can't be bothered anymore.
Fox News just found its next anchor
for those that point the finger at people like Snooki and the Kardashians as the nadir of our society, I urge you to move it slightly to the left – in the direction of the people who want to be like them. as seen here.
TRUE STORY: this girl (Trisha Paytas) pretended she had a talent (rapping?) so she could go on America's Got Talent because she loves Howard Stern so much.
"I'm voting for Mitt Romney because, ummmm, Mitt rhymes with TIT!! HAHAHAHA guys I'm just kidding! That would be ridiculous!! LOLOL — Seriously though, I'm voting for him because my cat's names is Mittens."
Great news everybody! Her vote counts as much as yours!
Try not to drink yourself to death over this fact.
'Lady' is a generous term.
Her outfit/look just screams 'conservative' and 'catholic'. I can barely tell her apart from a priest.
It's okay. 70% or more of the people who watch this video will do it with the sound muted, so we don't have to worry about people listening to her.

Data Robotics rolls out 8-bay DroboPro
updated 09:35 am EDT, Tue April 7, 2009
Data Robotics DroboPro
Data Robotics this morning chased after more than just individual users with the DroboPro. The external array now has 8 SATA bays and can carry as much as 16TB of storage using current hard drive technology. It also expands Drobo's well-known automatic data redundancy by supporting the failure of as many as two disks at once and dynamically shuffling information as disks are added, removed or partitioned into new volumes.
The DroboPro is also the first Drobo to have Ethernet built-in and serve as network-attached storage, though it keeps both the single USB and dual FireWire 800 jacks of the more recent 4-bay Drobo. New to the pro version is support for iSCSI over the Ethernet connection that reportedly requires no configuration in Mac OS X or Windows and which is fast enough to be used for important applications.
Prices start at $1,299 for an empty model and scale up to as much as $3,999 for a fully-loaded 16TB edition. Data Robotics says its new enclosure should be available immediately in multiple countries.

Liberalism Is The Philosophy Of The Stupid
To Achieve Ordered Liberty You Must Have Moral Order As Well
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
I've been reluctant to comment on these accusations until now. I was waiting to see his response & I have to say I'm very pleased with his complete denial. Anything less would have kept me from fully supporting him for the nomination. His response coupled with the histories of the Accusers have relieved my hesitancy.
Good job Mr. Cain.Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.

What Causes Climate Change?
Natural Factors:
Changes in the sun's energy or slow changes in the earth's orbit around the sun and changes in ocean circulation.
Human Factors:
Over the past 200 years, starting with the Industrial Revolution, human activities have changed the earth's atmosphere. Deforestation and the burning of fossil fuels (such as coal and oil) have caused the concentrations of greenhouse gases to significantly increase in our earth's atmosphere.
What are Greenhouse Gases?
Greenhouse gases prevent heat and infrared rays from being released back in to space. These gases are necessary for human life because they keep the planet's surface warm enough to survive and thrive. But as greenhouse gases concentrations continue to increase, the earth's temperature continues to increase.
In addition to greenhouse gases and rising temperatures, there are changes in rainfall patterns, melting snow and ice cover, changes in sea levels and carbon dioxide concentrations are increasing the ocean acidity, which negatively affects marine organisms.

Most of the global news this week has been really depressing. Violent acts of agression have seemed to have become the norm in much of what we read or hear. However in the war-torn country of Congo a new weapons exchange program has made an impact in the lives of rural villagers. The guns for bikes program has now become so popular that is has begun to expand to give out zinc roofing. Could the next reiteration be guns for solar panels? or freeplay radios?

Wolves return for Penny
Winger Kevin Penny is going back to Warrington Wolves, where he burst onto the scene in spectacular fashion six years ago.
Penny made his debut for his home-town club in 2007 and, after scoring 13 tries in his first 12 appearances, went on to be named in the Super League Dream Team that year.
However, after suffering a loss of form, he went on to have spells at Widnes Vikings, Harlequins and Wakefield Trinity Wildcats before joining Championship part-timers Swinton two years ago.
Now 25, Penny has been given a 12-month deal to return to the Halliwell Jones Stadium for the 2014 season, with a two-year option, and he has pledged to make the most of his second chance.
"It's not fully sunk in yet," he said. "I am made up to be coming back into the full-time environment after a couple of years working in a normal job as well.
"It won't be like going to a new club where you need to settle into the surroundings and facilities as I know a lot already so it will be easier for me and I'm looking forward to it.
"Since I last played at Warrington I've learnt a lot about rugby and life itself which will benefit me a lot more this time around."
Wolves head of coaching and rugby Tony Smith said: "We are delighted to give Kevin another opportunity.
"He's gone away, had to go back a level or two to learn some more about rugby league and we think it's terrific that he's got another chance to come back here and show what he's learnt.
"We've been monitoring him for the last couple of years and watched his progress at Swinton. He's turned into a terrific player."

text: GUWAHATI: The law and order situation in troubled Kokrajhar district of Assam's Bodoland Territorial Areas Districts (BTAD) seems to be deteriorating further.Suspected militants attacked a house in the district late Friday night, killing four persons - including a minor boy - on the spot, and injuring another minor boy.The opposition Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) working president Atul Bora said Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi has lost control over the government and also came down heavily on the ruling party for an alleged fake encounter in Majuli Island. The fresh incidents took place at Jiaguri village in the district, even though indefinite curfew remains in force in the district. The army has been carrying out flag marches in all sensitive areas of the district for three days."A group of armed men sprayed bullets at the house of one Abbas Ali around 11pm on Friday, killing four people on the spot. Another minor boy received bullet injuries on his hand," said the police.A woman who was injured after suspected militants opened indiscriminate fire at her house at Bamungaon in the district earlier Friday evening, succumbed to injuries at a local hospital Saturday morning.With five deaths in the last 24 hours, the total death toll in violence in Kokrajhar district rose to 11. The turbulence here began on Nov.10. Meanwhile, Kokrajhar police have arrested Mono Kumar Brahma, executive member of the Bodoland Territorial Council, which runs the administration in the BTAD, on Saturday. The arrest was made from his residence in Kokrajhar town, after illegal arms and ammunition were found in his possession.A senior Assam Police official confirmed the arrest of Brahma and said that the police have also seized two AK 47 rifles, two magazines and 60 rounds of live ammunition from him.Brahma is a member of the Bodoland Peoples Front (BPF), which is in power in the Bodoland Territorial Council and also a partner with the ruling Congress in Assam."Brahma is being questioned by our officers over his alleged role in the fresh violence and over the possession of illegal arms from his residence," said the official.

The Kansas City United Soccer Club started in 1993 when two teams coached by Jim Schwab and two teams coached by Emilio John joined together to create the Attack Soccer Club. Over the years the Club grew and its teams gained Regional and National Recognition. In 2003, the club merged with four teams coached by Preki, the former US National Team, MLS All Star. The Club, at Preki's request, adopted the name Rangers. In 2005, Preki became the Assistant Coach of the MLS soccer club Chivas, becoming head coach of Chivas in 2007. In 2006, the Club was approached by teams and coaches in different parts of Kansas City, requesting to join us. The Club's management believed it was time to change the name of the Club once more to reflect our commitment to players throughout the region and as homage to the different clubs that have joined with us. Today the names of those clubs are found in the team names; names like Kansas City United Attack, Kansas City United Rangers, and Kansas City United Pace.
During the decades the Club has existed, there have been many constants. First and foremost is our commitment to the individual player. Every premier club in Kansas City, and there are many good ones, has as a stated goal player development. We are also committed to player develop, but development means to us the individual player takes precedence over the team. When we need guidance we ask, "What is best for the players?" Conflicts will arise. There are times when our coaches will make decisions that will cost wins so that our players can develop. We know from years of experience developing players yields great teams and great players when it matters.
Second, we are also committed to a high standard of ethics. WE FOLLOW THE RULES. It is that simple.
Third, we will not let money or cost stand in the way of a player having an opportunity to play the game at a high level. About ten percent of our budget every year goes to scholarships for players. Scholarships are awarded based solely on financial need. As a club we have always run a deficit that has been made up by generous contributors. We are not here to make money.
Our Club is about the players. We need your help to make this all possible. As parents, you have a great amount of control. You ultimately pay the bills. You bring your child to practices and games, making them on time or late. You see whether they are prepared. You set the tone and can be either a force for a positive or terribly negative experience for your child and the other children you meet.
This booklet is design to answer your questions, explain the game and establish the rules we expect you to follow. These rules are for the benefit of the players, for they are why we are involved.

The Madeira Police Department last week received two reports of coyotes within city limits, and it's likely that coyote populations in suburban areas will only increase in the future.
"There are a lot of coyotes out there this time of year," said Madeira Police Chief Frank Maupin who recently attended a seminar in Columbus discussing how to deal with coyotes. "They feed on rodents and small dogs, and there are plenty of those in our area."
The first incident occurred at 7012 Shawnee Lane, when police were called to investigate a coyote living in a backyard shed. Patrol Officer Ronald Mueller ...

Marooned, Just Feet From Shore; Tighter Security Keeps Foreign Crews on Ships
By DANIEL J. WAKIN
Published: July 24, 2003
BAYONNE, N.J.— After more than 40 days at sea, the Filipino crewmen of the Aurora Amethyst were at rest in dry dock on July 16. They could see the Manhattan skyline imprinted in the haze. But for most of them, there was no hope of making it to the city, much less walking down the gangway.
They had no visas and no shore leave, reflections of the daunting array of new hurdles for foreign seamen to gain shore leave after 9/11. Port chaplains and advocates report that an increasing number of seamen are being forced to remain aboard ship while in American ports because of stricter visa requirements, arbitrary rejections and private terminal rules.
Largely forgotten, these mariners often earn only hundreds of dollars a month for long, monotonous hours in the seagoing behemoths that carry billions of dollars' worth of goods, raw materials and petroleum products.
With the new restrictions on shore leave, the small cadre of port chaplains who minister to the mariners now have an even more important role.
''They really want to feel human sometimes,'' the Rev. Jayder Andre of the Seamen's Church Institute of New York and New Jersey said. ''That's very hard to find on a ship. You are treated like a machine. You work and work and work.''
Shore leave is not the jolly jaunt of Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly in ''On the Town.'' With the quick turnarounds of the modern shipping industry, it often means a four-to-eight-hour window for phone calls, a visit to the local seamen's club or mall shopping.
But even that change of scenery is important for the psychological and physical health of the mariners.
''You're talking about people working in a very closed environment probably 10 months to a year,'' said Douglas B. Stevenson, a retired Coast Guard commander and director of the institute's Center for Seafarers' Rights.
Although the data is hard to come by, the Seamen's Church has gathered some haphazard figures. In its survey of nine American ports over a week in February, it found that roughly 1,000 seamen were denied shore leave. Mainly they lacked visas, but other reasons were cited. Burmese sailors at Baltimore were said to be from a country with a reputation for ship-jumping. A Cypriot-flagged ship in Lake Charles, La., had stowaways. In several ports, at least 40 percent of ships surveyed had crew members denied leave.
The Seamen's Church, which has headquarters on Water Street in Manhattan and a large center in Port Newark, is the most established mariners' ministry, founded in 1834. Chaplains come from different Protestant denominations, but the church's main link is to the Episcopal Church.
The church's chaplains try to visit every ship in the New York and New Jersey port. This is no small task. On any given day, several dozen ships can arrive at terminals within the Port of New York and New Jersey. The crews usually number 18 to 25.
The chaplains send vans to take seamen to the Jersey Gardens Mall in Elizabeth or back to the center, where they can have a shower, play pool or Ping-Pong, eat a cafeteria meal, visit the chapel, work out in the gym or play basketball.
The Rev. Francis Cho, 63, has been a chaplain at Port Newark for 18 years. He is a trim Korean-born Episcopal priest who spends his days among the giant cranes and container stacks that form part of the industrial blur drivers see as they speed by on the New Jersey Turnpike.
Father Cho boarded the Aurora Amethyst bearing vegetable seeds, old National Geographic magazines and a stack of phone cards.
The Aurora Amethyst, a Filipino-owned vessel, was at the Military Ocean Terminal in Bayonne. It left Indonesia in late May with a cargo of wood, arriving July 15 after a stop in Camden, N.J., with a damaged rudder. It was expected to stay for perhaps a month for repairs.
Of the 21 Filipino crewmen, 13 had no visas and would be stuck on the ship. One crewman said he did not apply because he did not know that the ship was bound for the United States. Another said he had expected a group visa, which never came.
Dennis Sabocohan, 27, an engine wiper, simply knew he could not descend the gangway. ''I feel like going out, but no shore pass,'' he said. ''Immigration said, 'Stay on board,' so stay on board.''
Ryan Oatis, 22, who also lacked a visa, said he spent his free time playing cards, watching television or listening to music. ''Homesick, homesick,'' he said. He joined the ship in November. His daughter Ashlyn Khye was born March 30, and he hopes to see her for the first time on his return to the Philippines in November. He earns $275 a month as a mess man and deck trainee.
During the 3 p.m. break, when the men ate sweet yellow cake and drank coffee, Father Cho passed out prayer pamphlets and led a brief service. The seamen in unison asked God to ''protect this vessel and all her crew until we arrive home to those we love.''
Father Cho and other advocates argue that the right to shore leave has been enshrined in centuries of maritime law, as well as a convention of the International Maritime Organization. While the United States has ratified the convention, Mr. Stevenson said it was one of only a few countries requiring visas for shore leave.
The visa requirements have the practical effect of denying shore leave for many mariners.

According to this, Obama's grand plan to make as many people totally dependent on government is moving right along at warp speed.
In fiscal year 2011, it turns out, over ONE TRILLION DOLLARS was spent on federal welfare programs. In one year, you guys. Welfare is officially the government's biggest expense of that year. In fact, between 2008 and 2011, the federal welfare spending increased by THIRTY TWO PERCENT. Wow. That's some impressive work you did there, Obama. Way to go.
The biggest increase was specifically in food stamp programs, which saw a 71% increase in spending in those same three years. And there's no sign of that getting better. In fact, if Obama is re-elected, it will simply get worse. According to this, Obama has managed to spend about $11 for every $7 we actually have as a country. Isn't that fantastic? The government got almost 2.5 trillion in tax revenue and other payments, but SPENT $3.5 trillion, leaving us a deficit over just over a trillion dollars. And you know what that doesn't include? FREAKING OBAMACARE, which hasn't even been fully implemented, and which promises to be the most colossally ineffective and expensive bunch of crap ever to be forced on our country.
And you guys – he's not even out of office yet. There's still so much more damage he can do in a few months, let alone another four years.
Oh - and remember last week when he and all of his happy little spokespeople were all excited about the unemployment rate going below 8%? Yeah. According to this, the number of new unemployment claims filed by Americans "leapt to the highest level in four months, erasing the large drop reported last week and then some." SURPRISE!!!! I guess California finally decided to catch up on the claims they'd ignored the week before.
Anyway, in case it has somehow escaped you, all of the stuff I've just mentioned is BAD. Like, really bad. And it's all evidence of the EPIC SUCKAGE that is this president. He is patently incapable of doing anything positive for this economy, you guys. He just doesn't have it in him.
And hopefully, as Gallup indicates, people are finally realizing it.

Thanks guys! Made my night!
MyYardPeople, yeah man...take whatever you can from me and critique it to YOUR style!
THIS IS WHY I came to this site. To fellowship with other business people in our trade. I'll LITERALLY GIVE YOU the shirt off my back if it will HELP anyone because that is how I was raised (actually DOING the COMPLETE opposite of my step dad and real dad, what losers).
What COMES AROUND most DEF Goes around.
Oh and Doug, you just might want to try it out as well! You can cover SO MUCH area in less time. The cool thing I like about covering all that area is when people drive by AND walk by you they SEE confidence! They see a guy with a hand full of ads walking door to door. AND you get to smile at those driving by and sometimes wave and simply greet the ones walking by with a nice simple "Hi" or Hello", etc...
Most people WANT TO KNOW what YOU ARE DOING in their neighborhood...if you carry yourself well, greet the ones walking down the sidewalk or street, look at the people in cars driving by and smile or nod your head...that's HALF the sell!
Thanks again guys for the encouragement.

Well, are there any other famous Trekkies who you can see donning alien make up? Tom Hanks was up for the Zefram Cochrane role in FC, and is a big Trekkie.
Bowie, as mentioned above, is another great choice. He already looks alien enough (and has played aliens in the past), so he wouldn't have to even wear make up! LOL!
It's a FAAAAKKKEEE!

If you like bananas you will like the Chocolate Banana Chew. Once dehydrated, the banana flavor greatly intensifies. These were a hit at our July 4th family picnic.
Make sure that you use ripe bananas. A ripe banana is much sweeter in flavor. Using ripe produce in your dishes will make all the difference in flavor.
When selecting the bananas, choose ones that already have brown spots on them. Not to be confused with bruises. Often times grocery stores pull these aside and sell at a discounted price. Never be afraid to ask them if they have any in the back room.
Yields: 49 (could be 50 if I didn't nibble on the batter!)

Music Video: Amy Winehouse, "Rehab"
Music Video: Amy Winehouse, "Rehab"
Like us on Facebook
I've made no secret about the fact that I find the music of Norah Jones painfully dull. If you agree (or even if you don't), you should check out Amy Winehouse, who is like Norah's sultrier and more captivating British counterpart. The smoky-voiced 23-year-old singer specializes in old-fashioned jazz with a modern edge, and you can hear it loud and clear in the new single "Rehab" off Winehouse's latest album, Back to Black. The CD is only available as an import right now, but you can watch the video for "Rehab" if you

There's a great long piece in today's Washington Post on Amy Winehouse. Actually, googling her took me to this site. I've already posted a comment about your comparison of Winehouse to Norah Jones. I think Jones will grow on you as you get older, but do check out the Little Willies -- much better than her solo stuff. As for Winehouse's looks. She's obviously a deeply troubled young gal -- she seems to prefer drinking to eating. And, don't get my started on those tattoos, or her makeup. The Post has a picture of her circa 2004. To call her beautiful and sexy would be the understatement of all-time. I don't think any gal ever looked more beautiful or alluring. I'm guessing that's part of the problem. She was on the verge of becoming a huge star, and she had those incredible looks. And, she was wracked by insecurities. So, she's responded by trying to make herself far less attractive. Not that this is happening at a conscious level, but she is deliberately (unconsciously)wrecking her once flawless body. There are a lot of reasons why this kind of behavior can occur, and I don't want to speculate about the root causes -- but I hope she can pull out of it. For my part, I apologize for raising the intellectual bar here -- I hope everyone's OK with that....

I love Amy Winehouse! I'd recommend her first album, 'Frank' also. It's got a jazzier sound than 'Back to Black', but it's really good.

Every day I learn more about what the Armstrong's told investors about privately-held MyMedicalRecords.com and the consulting and fundraising services they provided to others. How many mailing lists did they exploit through Taylors special events invitation service to meet potential investors? Where are the millions of dollars that flowed through their bank accounts and pockets? We have no reason to believe that Russell was broke or that Taylor is a victim of Russell without the ability to pay damages to MMR. Documents show Taylor's involvement in the handling of money paid to Russell for the benefit of MMR from investors. " Lorsch continued, "During Russell's bankruptcy it appears that Taylor was a frequent check signer and may have received money intended for MMR. That is why Taylor and Russell were both required to sign the MMR settlement agreement." The press all over newspaper, web and television are painting the picture that Russell and Taylor Armstrong are without assets and completely broke.
Commenting on the divorce that Russell and Taylor were currently in the midst of, Russell's lawyer, Ronald Richards, publicly stated that it was basically going to be a "no asset divorce" and told TMZ, "I feel bad because his credit cards weren't working … He had tremendous financial problems." This has recently raised questions by the investment community about whether the lawsuit is a waste of time and money for MMRGlobal because no payout should ever be expected. When questioned about this further, Bob first and foremost reiterated prior comments to us that "[this] is a very narrowly-focused case for specified liquidated damages. Either the Armstrong's breached the settlement contract or they didn't. We believe the evidence shows that they did." Then Bob added, "Also, Russell Armstrong raised millions of dollars from many people through consulting and other forms of commission agreements. He took equity in nearly everything he raised money for. He kept some of the equity and sold some off to others. Taylor and Russell spoke publicly about these transactions such as the restaurant with Eva Longaria called "Beso". They openly discussed a ten million dollar film deal on national television." Still on point, Lorsch added, "Before the MMR board removed Russell from MMR, he boasted to me about how he would keep his money in an offshore trust which is why MMR insisted his Trustee for the Armstrong Trust, Manuel Glaze, be a signature on the settlement agreement to help avoid possible fraudulent transfers in the event of a breach." Questioning whether or not the Armstrongs had/have cash or other assets leads to a spider web of financial doings as they seem to have shuffled money countless directions via several businesses for whatever reasons. We held a conversation this weekend with several people close to the source, including Tom Crosswhite, an investor and successful businessman who was at one time friends with Russell and Taylor Armstrong.
Moreover, Crosswhite was another person who invested in then-private MyMedicalRecords.com via the Armstrongs and never received his shares until Bob Lorsch uncovered the whole Armstrong/MyMedicalRecords.com business fiasco and made things straight with Crosswhite and many others by rescinding Russell's shares for the benefit of Crosswhite and the others. Crosswhite confirmed this fact and told us that he still holds many shares today because of his belief that Bob Lorsch will make the company a success. Crosswhite explained that he had known the Armstrongs for several years and that, while not on a regular basis, they had done many things together encompassing both business and personal interests. Tom told us that on several occasions, Russell and Michael Nobel (of the Nobel Foundation, Nobel Peace Prize and some Armstrong-lead companies) had stayed and been entertained at Crosswhite's Park City, Utah house. He also informed us that he had introduced Russell to more than 25 companies seeking venture capitalist activities, for which Russell was paid healthy commissions on the fund raising. One of the companies, Genea Energy Partners, was tagged in September 2009 by Forbes Magazine as #13 on their list of "America's 20 Most Promising Young Companies." Crosswhite is very knowledgeable of the $10 million in capital that was raised for Genea as he was supposed to receive roughly $450,000 in commissions from Russell for making the introduction to Genea and getting him the business…money Armstrong never gave him. "I cannot comment on whether the Armstrongs are broke at this time, but I do know that Russell had received very large amounts of money through a wide variety of channels throughout the last two/two-and-a-half years in my association with him," stated Crosswhite. "I know that a family in Texas was paying him to raise capital for several upstart businesses. Russell told me that they had given him $200 to $300 million for a fund in what Russell called 'Vegas' money to develop and provide capital for a conglomerate of developing firms and were paying Russell $250,000 a month in salary for his services plus one to two percent from any deal that he was responsible for creating." Crosswhite also understands that Russell then also took equity in the companies he raised money for. Lorsch believes that Ingrid Wang, the wife of the founder of the Wang Computer Company, recently gave Armstrong's "Fund" four million dollars. The Armstrong's apparently moved quickly putting that fund to work with $10 million going towards five future films for Oscar Winning Director Kathryn Bigelow ("The Hurt Locker"), which they alluded to in an early episode of Beverly Hills Housewives, and possibly millions in other film production deals for which they were supposedly paid 8 to 10 percent commissions for raising the money and given equity in each film as well, according to Crosswhite. "It seemed that the Armstrong's had many business operations that were generating significant amounts of income recently," stated Crosswhite.
It would also seem a bit naive to think that Taylor knew nothing about any of this or any assets, but that is just author speculation. This sort of information begs the question, "Are the Armstrong's truly broke?" Answering that question with a question (several, actually), Lorsch provided this response, "We already know that a lot of money flowed through Russell and Taylor without including reports of Taylor Armstrong penning a multi-million dollar deal (some report the contract to be worth $6.5 million) to become a spokesperson for DAVI Skin Care in March of 2011. Where are those assets? What about the published BeautyTicket.com deal naming Taylor Armstrong as Chief Creative Director in January 2011 where she is supposed to have received 30% of the company? Where is that asset? What about her consulting business which they discussed on the show and where are those contracts and fees? And what about sponsor gifts, personal appearance fees and reimbursements as a result of being on the show as well as any payments from being on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills"? Then there are all the deals that Russell closed and took equity in. Where are all of those assets?" With Bob's questions it certainly would not be inappropriate to wonder "Is Taylor going to deny that these deals ever existed?"

Bottlenecks and Interface Materials; Part 1 – Great Thermal Bedfellows
Probably due to the beer fridge, I now seem to be becoming the repository of broken electronic products with an expectation that the cause of their demise can be identified, retrospectively, using thermal simulation. This week my good colleague John Parry dumped a rather poorly DVD player on my desk with a 'go on then' look. There's nothing quite like the sight of a scorched PCB to excite those of us working in the electronics cooling line of business here in the mechanical analysis division and that's just what John and I found when inspecting the power supply board of this particular defunct DVD player.
I'm sure a wide variety of things have been photocopied, especially during company Christmas parties, but maybe never a PCB. It turned out to be the best way to capture the underside of the power board, both to capture the said scorching, also to get a map of the copper distribution that I'd need later when building the thermal model.
From a thermal perspective the TO220 amplifier was evidently the most critical component, the scorching was on the underside of the board directly beneath it. It was screwed to a vertical aluminium heat spreader with thermal paste used to achieve a good contact between the package case face and the spreader. Back in the day it took me a while to get my head round the idea that thermal contact between two objects can be enhanced by adding something else between them. The point being that you can never squeeze all the air out from between two solid contacting faces. Unlike moving air that is a great transporter (convector) of heat, stagnant air isn't. Coming in at a tiny 0.026 W/mK (thermal conductivity) air is actually a great thermal insulator. Even the smallest amount of trapped air will cause a large thermal bottleneck. Getting goosebumps on your skin when cold is a Darwinistic throwback to that fact.
So, adding a paste/gel/putty/tape between the two objects will add some additional solid resistance but totally remove that pesky air resulting in an overall reduction in contact thermal resistance. That's the theory anyway, unless you invest in a particularly cheap thermal interface material that can dry out, crack and lose its surface adhesion advantage. Why is it that cheap electronics always break? Go figure.
Building the FloTHERM model of the board was straight forward. The FloEDA application window allows for the import of populated PCB data to be imported directly from Expedition, Boardstation etc. Alternatively it can be used to quickly sketch out 3D PCB representations, including the layer stackup with the neat ability to import an image that represents the distribution of copper on each layer. For this board I imported the photocopier scanned image of the bottom layer then used FloEDA's unique image processing capabilities to convert that into a thermal conductivity map of the distribution of FR4/Cu on the bottom layer.
The To220 detailed model was created using FloTHERM PACK. This involved a parametric definition of its construction and then pressing the 'download detailed model' button! The screw connecting it through the spreader plate and the spreader plate itself was manually defined in FloTHERM. The thermal interface itself was modelled as a 300 micron thick block with appropriate thermal conductivity.
With an assumed dissipation of 2.0W the predicted junction temperature comes out at a respectable 88 degC. This model remember represents the 'working' design where everything behaves as it was designed to do.
Examination of the heat flux vectors give further insight as to where the heat is flowing so as to produce the resulting temperature field. From the die, 85% of the heat passes through the thermal interface and on into the heat spreader. The other 15% passes down the leads, through the board to be spread throughout the bottom plane of the PCB where it is convected and radiated away to the rest of the DVD chassis.
Taking 2D slices through a 3D model often doesn't take into account the more complex heat flow paths the heat weaves through on its way from its source (die) to the ambient. Looking at lines of heat flux in a semi-transparent view of the geometry highlights an interesting heat flow feature…
If the aluminium spreader was big enough so as to do its job properly all the heat would pass through it and from its vertical faces on into the surrounding air. As can be seen from the heat flux lines, a certain percentage actually passes through its pins back down into the PCB. Further examination of the predicted heat flux values indicates that, out of the 1.7W that passes into the spreader, 0.46W (27%) necks down through the pins. A thermal resistance in itself.
Never liking to see a bad thermal design, it's at this stage I tend to get all indignant and demand to know why FloTHERM wasn't applied in the design of this product. And this is the intended design, we haven't even got onto the thermal interface failure yet!! Ach, enough of the moaning already. In Part 2 we'll get on to what happens when the thermal interface fails, using the display of the BN (bottleneck) number to help understand why and where the thermal design is deficient, allowing us to propose and simulate some targeted remedial thermal design modifications.

Hey Robin, great heat flux line image but what are the little upwards pointing lines coming off the spreader?
Commented on January 18, 2012 at 9:33 am
By Robin Bornoff
Hi Robin, long time no hear, how are you? Right, I truncated the 'lifetime' of the heatflux lines so as to not over complicate the image with loads of heat flux lines going all the way into the air (ambient). The little upwards ticks are where the heat enters the air and moves upwards (due to buoyancy) and is convected away. Heat flux lines inside the spreader = conduction, (truncated) heat flux lines outside the spreader = convection.

text: 'Tiny Bubble' May Gobble Up the Universe Higgs boson finding supports theory of 'vacuum instability' By Neal Colgrass, Newser Staff Posted Feb 24, 2013 4:35 PM CST STORY COMMENTS (44) (Newser) – Thanks, Higgs boson: Looks like the particle's tiny mass is proof that the universe will one day be vacuumed up and replaced by another universe, the BBC reports. That is, if the Large Hadron collider really has spotted the Higgs boson. Calling their discovery "Higgs-like" for now, physicists say the particle is linked to an energy field that permeates all space. And when its apparent size is calculated in the Standard Model of particle physics, "it's bad news," says physicist Joseph Lykken. "What happens is you get just a quantum fluctuation that makes a tiny bubble of the vacuum the Universe really wants to be in," Lykken adds. "And because it's a lower-energy state, this bubble will then expand, basically at the speed of light, and sweep everything before it." But don't worry—this won't happen for billions of years. And physicists still want to perform more experiments after the Large Hadron Collider reopens, to make sure they really have discovered and correctly sized the Higgs boson. This undated image made available by CERN shows a typical candidate event including two high-energy photons whose energy (depicted by red towers) is measured in the CMS electromagnetic calorimeter.

Pirate Bay defendants move for retrial
updated 12:55 pm EDT, Mon April 27, 2009
Pirate Bay retrial motion
Taking action on earlier accusations, lawyers for The Pirate Bay have submitted a petition for a retrial, according to Reuters. Four of the people behind the website were each sentenced to a year in prison on April 17th, as well as paying $3.6 million in compensation to copyright holders. The judge for the case was unfairly biased however, claims Pirate Bay laywer Per Samuelson.
"[Judge] Tomas Norstrom was biased during the trial," Samuelson alleges. "Secondly, he neglected to inform the defendants and their lawyers of the facts that constituted the bias."
Norstrom is noted to be a member of the Swedish Association for the Protection of Industrial Property, and the Swedish Association for Copyright, both of which are strong opponents of sites such as The Pirate Bay. The SAC's board also includes Peter Danowsky, who represented the music and film industries during the trial. Supporting Danowsky were corporations such as Fox, Warner, Sony, Columbia, Universal and EMI, demanding the equivalent of $12 million in what they consider lost revenue.

I have a function in Matlab that produces three specific results. I want to use these results as input arguments to a following function to calculate the end result.
How do I go about combining the two functions?
Not quite sure if I understand your question. As far as I understand you have a function1 that gives three output arguments that you want to use as inputs to a function2. In that case you could either just let the functions be separate and use them as
Or you could nest them by putting function1 within function2. You would do that by just appending function1 to the function2 file. In shell:
or just use an editor. You will have to edit the new function anyway, e.g. by adding the two Matlab code lines above just before defining function1.m.
Is that any help?
