Mobile HD video connectivity spec updated to MHL 3.0
updated 07:57 pm EDT, Tue August 20, 2013
Preliminary specification completed, final version due this fall
MHL, LLC today announced the advancement of the MHL 3.0 specification to address the latest consumer requirements for connecting a mobile device to displays, marking major advancements in the areas of audio and video transmission over an MHL link. With double the bandwidth compared to the previous specification, MHL 3.0 delivers 4K (Ultra HD) resolution and a wider color gamut to create a better visual experience. By using a bi-directional channel that's significantly faster than MHL 2, the new specification enables concurrent 4K video and high-speed peripheral support of mass storage and input devices such as a touch screen, keyboard and mouse.
The MHL Consortium is comprised of Nokia Corporation, Samsung Electronics, Silicon Image Inc., Sony Corporation, and Toshiba Corporation. The MHL specification is an HD video and digital audio interface for connecting mobile phones and portable devices to HDTVs and other home entertainment products. It utilizes established connectors such as Mini-USB and HDMI, features a single cable with a 5-pin interface, supports 1080p HD video and digital audio and simultaneously provides power to the mobile device.
The MHL 3.0 specification capabilities include 4K (Ultra HD) support of 4K formats up to 2160p30, simultaneous high-speed data channels, Improved Remote Control Protocol (RCP) with support for peripherals, power charging up to 10W, HDCP 2.2 content protection, enhanced 7.1 surround sound with Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD, and support for simultaneous multiple displays.
The full MHL 3.0 specification will be available for members to download in early September 2013. Additional news is expected from the company before the end of the year "to provide more information on how MHL is expanding" into additional connectivity beyond mobile devices.

WASHINGTON — And the heat goes on. Forecasters predict toasty temperatures will stretch through the summer in the U.S. And that's a bad sign for wildfires in the West.
The forecast for June through August calls for warmer-than-normal weather for about three-quarters of the nation, the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.
The warmth is expected south of a line stretching from middle New Jersey to southern Idaho. Only tiny portions of northwestern U.S. and Alaska are predicted to be cooler than average and that's only for June, not the rest of the summer.
Last May until April was the hottest 12-month period on record for the nation with records going back to 1895. This year so far has seen the hottest March, the third warmest April and the fourth warmest January and February in U.S. weather history. And it was one of the least snowy years on record in the Lower 48.
Some people called it the year without winter.

Hi all. I'm rather new to the
world and as some (or all) of us know - the tools you use on the job can make or break which technology you use, at least in the enterprise.
My company is a heterogenious environment w/ a mix of C++, C#, VB, .NET, Java, etc.
We're looking to set Java as a common language across all business units and as lead programmer, it's my job to pick the tools.
I love Eclipse, I think it's probably the best IDE I've ever laid my eyes on. I've been using the WTP plugins and getting along...well..*okay*...but I'm having enough problems to realize that this isn't going to be a sell to my boss...even if it *is* free. It's missing enough to make it unusable in our environment - where there simply is no time for buggy IDEs.
I've been looking at MyEclipse and as far as their marketing goes...it looks to be very promising...and cheap!
Can anyone give me some good words on MyEclipse? The price is right which is what will impress the PHBs at work...compared to what we're paying for our Microsoft stuff...which is frightening.
I know there's other IDEs out there but I'd really like to stick w/ Eclipse...it's packed w/ features, free, and is quite comfortable to work with...and let's not forget how well supported it is in the industry.

Vinnie, you will definitely want to automated your build process around
. If you have a lot of different projects, Maven is your friend. Eclipse comes with build-in Ant support and there is a Maven plug-in.
Now, I agree with your desicion to use Eclipse, however, Net Beans and Sun's Creator Studio are also stellar products. JBuilder is a horrid also-ran that seems to continually lag behind with brittle and poorly implemented features. They wait for the market rather than lead it, and for whatever reason cannot seem to execute when they finally make up their mind to adopt something.
Anyway, here's an excellent IDE with an nice introduction video. Entirely Eclipse based, as so many are. The downside is the name NitroX might scare your boss away:

Energy Supplement Manufacturers / Nature's Nitro2Go
This was the first of four Energy drinks I consumed on an 11 hour drive leaving Pittsburgh. I can tell you that the "High Octane Body Fuel" burns quickly, as I wasn't far from the city before it was time for drink #2. The taste was very mild, not unpleasant, but not very bold. Since it wasn't unpleasant, as some energy drinks are, I scored it as average. The $2 price tag for a 8.4 oz soda was also rather high.

Everyone is fully aware of why the raid happened. The barry administration ordered. Now that they have raided Gibson and there is no evidence against Gibson, they don't dare bring this case to trail. It will expose the agenda of this administration and those that support it.

No charges yet? No problem.
Convene a gov't committee, maybe even in congress, and start an in-depth investigation. Drag it out for months. Eventually, some Gibson exec whose brain is completely addled by weeks of inane, incessant questioning about irrelevant topics will say something that contradicts a previous answer.
And presto! You've got perjury charges!

Ice Cube plays Nick Persons, a bachelor and confirmed ladies' man who hates children the way Ebenezer Scrooge hates Christmas: as a matter of personal principle. But when he casts his eye on a luscious divorcee named Suzanne (Nia Long), he's forced to reconsider his anti-child policy. Unfortunately for Nick, Suzanne's two children, Lindsey and Kevin (Aleisha Allen and Philip Daniel Bolden) have vowed to sabotage their mother's suitors by any means necessary. So Nick courts Suzanne while steering clear of the two terrors until, stuck in Vancouver on a business trip, Suzanne asks him to bring the kids up for a visit. Their journey is predictably star-crossed: luggage is lost, planes missed and cars wrecked and abandoned, until finally, Nick is chasing the children on horseback as they stow away on a boxcar. By the time the battle-scarred Nick and his charges arrive in Vancouver, he has become kids' de facto father. Though it's made watchable by the presence of the always-charismatic Ice Cube, "Are We There Yet?" suffers from one insurmountable problem: as scripted by a too-many-cooks screenwriting team and cloyingly played by the young actors, little Lindsey and Kevin are such insufferable brats that the hero's change of heart remains a mystery. — Dana Stevens

Dive team aids murder probe
Published: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 7:27 a.m.
Members of the Henderson County Dive Team were asked Friday to assist the Rutherford County Sheriffs Office search for evidence in the murder of a 17-year-old boy shot Oct. 7 in a post office parking lot in Caroleen.
The dive team found pieces of a firearm believed to be related to the murder, said Rutherford County Sheriffs Office Detectives Lt. Sam Williams. The team went into the water at 11 a.m. and found the first item at 3 p.m. The team has been called to Rutherford County before, and has traveled all over to lend assistance, including Haywood County and all of upstate South Carolina.

Early Colleges/Middle Colleges: Student Counseling/Support Component
This database indicates state-level early college and middle college high school policies that require programs to provide students with counseling and/or mentoring.
Why does it matter?
Just getting into the program isn't enough — students need continued guidance as they progress year by year.
Five states —

— require early or middle college high school programs to provide students with guidance and/or mentoring.
included in this database:
While partnerships between districts and postsecondary institutions make early and middle college high schools available in many states, the state policies governing these partnerships are often either intended for dual enrollment, charter or alternative programs. Such policies are not usually a good fit with the unique characteristics of early and middle colleges. State policies included here are specifically designed to provide a comprehensive structure for early and middle college high schools.
State policies that address early college or middle college in piecemeal fashion but do not address the overall structure or functioning of programs.
State programs that allow high school students to earn substantial amounts of postsecondary credit but do not appear to fully align with the early or middle college model (i.e., West Virginia

Sony set to intro high-end S706 flash player
updated 09:40 am EDT, Mon October 2, 2006
Sony S706 Music Player
Sony's Network Walkman music player line is divided sharply into two main categories: inexpensive flash players with low storage and mid-range models considerably larger hard drives. A model will soon appear that bridges the gap and will signal Sony's first direct challenge to the iPod nano and Sansa e200. British online store Play inadvertently posted and later removed a listing for an upcoming new Sony player dubbed the NW-S706. The device, pictured, would resemble a hybrid between the design of the company's E00 series and the controls of the S2 Sports. As listed, it would also include features not normally seen in players its size, such as 4GB of flash storage and a color display capable of album art. An audio input jack, FM tuning, and 50 hours of battery life would also give the S706 a lead over other players in its class. The entry for the unreleased player had a price of �180, which is high compared to the �129 of Apple's 4GB iPod but reflects the additional features.

Traffic Tickets and Violations in Connecticut
Citations or traffic tickets are issued in the State of Connecticut for various violations of traffic law. Citations generally indicate the statute or code number of the violation, and explain how and when to pay the fine or respond to the ticket. You must respond to a citation, usually by paying a fine or appearing in court, or else a warrant may be issued for your arrest and your driving license may be suspended.
Most traffic tickets in Connecticut are issued for what are sometimes called "strict-liability" offenses. In these cases, the only thing required to convict a person of the offense is proof that they committed the act, regardless of any criminal intent. Examples of strict-liability offenses include:
- Speeding
- Overdue parking meters
- Not using turn signals
- Parking in a handicapped zone without authorization
MOVING VS. NON-MOVING VIOLATIONSViolations are also classified by whether or not the vehicle was in motion at the type of the incident, and traffic tickets may therefore be for either moving or non-moving violations. Examples of moving violations include:
- Speeding or driving below the minimum speed
- Running a stop sign or red light
- Driving without a seat belt
- Drunk driving (DUI and DWI)
- Parking in a handicapped zone or other illegal parking
- Driving with an invalid vehicle registration
- Having expired or missing license plates
- Leaving a vehicle unattended and running
YOUR OPTIONS WHEN YOU RECEIVE A CITATIONMany citations do not require a court appearance, and you may admit guilt by paying the ticket directly. The citation will indicate how and by what date to pay the fine. You can pay the fine by mail by sending a check or money order (payable to "Clerks of Superior Court") in the self addressed envelope given with the ticket. If you do not have the envelope, you can mail the check/money order to:
Central Infractions Bureau P.O. Box 5044 Hartford, CT 06102-5044The ticket number should be mentioned on your check or money order. Cash is not acceptable. You can also plead "not-guilty" by calling (860) 263-2750 (Monday - Friday, 9:00am - 5:00 pm) or by replying to the charges in the self addressed envelope attached with your ticket. You can also write to the address given above for the same. If you plead "not guilty," the case will be transferred to the court in your area. The case may be heard in a Superior court or a traffic court. If it is the former, you will be given a specific date to appear before a judge to cite your reasons. If your case is sent to a traffic court you can reply to the charges by mail. While you may be able to negotiate with the prosecuting attorney, a trial will be scheduled if no agreement is reached. A trial gives you an opportunity to fight the traffic ticket in front of a judge or jury, and most people prefer to hire a traffic ticket lawyer to defend them in court.
THE IMPLICATIONS OF BEING FOUND GUILTYWhen you pay a ticket directly, you are essentially pleading guilty to a traffic offense, which carries the same consequences as being found guilty of the violation in court. Motorists who either plead guilty directly or are found guilty of an offense should be aware of the following possible consequences:
- Certain traffic offenses, including speeding and other moving violations, are automatically reported to the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles. Connecticut routinely provides information concerning traffic ticket convictions to other states.
- The Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles follows a point system to track violations and their corresponding penalties. Points are added to your driving record which could result in your license being suspended. For more information, see our Point System section.
- Connecticut drivers that accumulate points on their driving record are often subject to higher car insurance premiums.
WHAT TO DO ABOUT TRAFFIC TICKET CONVICTIONSOne of the best ways to reduce the negative implications of traffic violations is to drive safely and not commit any additional offenses. Points on your Connecticut license will be reduced, and your driving record may eventually be cleared if you remain free of any additional violations. Smart drivers often choose to take a defensive driving course or traffic school course in order to reduce the points on their license more quickly. Taking a defensive driving course can also help lower the car insurance premiums of drivers whose rates increased following one or more traffic ticket convictions. Some drivers prefer to obtain a new quote for car insurance following a traffic ticket conviction, since often more competitive rates and coverage may be available.
- See Paying Traffic Tickets in Connecticut for more information on how to pay your tickets.
- See also Traffic Ticket Lawyers and DUI Lawyers if you are considering fighting your ticket.
- See also Connecticut Car Insurance.
Reviews of Traffic Tickets and Violations in Connecticut
What is the information regarding driving without a license in Connecticut? I had my license but could not find it as I fell asleep at the wheel, was drowsy and very nervous when confronted by the police. Plus, my license was not in the usual place. I NEVER drive without it, but have decided not to fight it and pay the fine anyway. However, I CANNOT FIND how much the fine will be, or the repercussions as to affecting my driving record, etc. Information here has been null as to driving without a license.
Again, how much is the fine in CT for driving without a license?
Thanks you.

Hospitals Face Three-Day Payment Window Changes
How hospitals have been trying to comply with the Three-Day rule, apparently, has been all over the map. New guidelines signed by the President June 25 clarify the issue, but may not mean good news for hospital balance sheets. And there's a rub: it's still way too confusing. [

But he's Bullshit Eater after all.

Anyway, back to RPJr's fatuous bullshit: the real reason for the disconnect between public opinion and policy is that, well, there's a sentient being standing between the two.

The flow isn't public opinion → policy; it's public opinion → Congressgoons (← lobbyists, blackmailers, ...) → policy.

Add to that the fact that Congressgoons aren't really elected according to whether people like their proposed policies, but by how well their vague Rorschach-Test-like speeches can strike just the right chords in vastly diverse audiences.

I think Brian sort of hinted at this in the blog post, so I'm just making the argument more explicit.

Another Strawman, does he come with a blue or green coat? I am guessing green. I do not recall stating that climate science is a fraud so why I would need to explain that it is a fraud? I understand your desire to change the subject after experiencing such a thorough thrashing in front of all to see.

I do look forward to more derangement and all that bold font, it makes you look really important! lol

Thanks for the chuckles Frank, I truly do mean that!

Stop embarrassing yourself. Not one of those quotes is a complete sentence. The one from Jeffrey was a complete sentence. If you are going to quote a portion of sentence you need to use "..." as in

"...your face would more than likely get some "modifications".

This alerts the reader that something came before those words to complete the sentence.

"You must be a blast after a few beers, though you probably do not drink in public as your face would more than likely get some "modifications".

You said I needed to read the rest of the sentence for this:

"There's no point to the Senate."

Perhaps you meant to say the rest of the paragraph, understandable with your inability to know what a complete sentence is and how to properly quote people. So lets's look at the very next sentence.

"Particularly a Senate which permits 16% of the country to veto needed legislation."

So the writer, Jeffrey, is conveying the point that there is no point to a Senate, particularly this one or one that has the following components. So as to the meaning of the first sentence the rest of the paragraph does not modify or explain lack of need of a Senate, in fact it reinforces the statement, that the Senate has no point.

Another epic fail from Frank, more derangement soon to follow.

Here's one: "your face would more than likely get some 'modifications'."

Hmm, that certainly sounds like a threat of violence. Why is Bullshit Eater so prone to violence? In the face of such a threat, should I be screaming oppression, I wonder?

Here's another complete sentence you said: "I don't get it." A refreshingly frank admission.

And the best part? You said, "there is not much purpose in having a Senate." Hey look, you actually agree with Jeffrey Davis!

If you want to play silly quote-mining games, well, I can play quote-mining games with you all day long.

Alternatively, you can discuss the facts of climate science. But I know you won't, because Bullshit Eater is your name.

As for not getting our way recently, the Senate is up for grabs next year. I think both sides should commit in advance to majoritarian rules, and then let the people decide who wins.

Wednesday, November 16, 2011
Groovy Gurlz, a handmade clothing boutique made famous by the Chattanooga Market, is gearing up for the holiday season with Christmas styles ranging from Dr. Suess' Grinch patterns to classic red and green prints.
"I try to make it where you don't see a lot of the same stuff," said owner Debbie Haney. "I try to make things that appeal to everyone's tastes."
According to her, Groovy Gurlz features clothes for boys sizes newborn through 6 and girls sizes newborn through 16 that are unique, bright, fun and modest. Prices range from $25-$75, depending on the size and item. All clothing is made from high-quality, durable fabrics and many styles are reversible, said Haney.
"I clothe three kids myself, so I'm all about saving money any way I can," she said.
Haney, who gave up her career as a dental assistant to sew full-time, said her business has exploded since she started in 2010. In the last six months alone, she said she has shipped more than 1,000 dresses to buyers all over the world and is working to build a workshop in the backyard to do her sewing.
The boom in Groovy Gurlz business may come from the variety and fun prints Haney said she offers her customers, but it may also have something to do with the modesty of her outfits. Part of the reason she began sewing was a response to the frustration she found when trying to shop for her own daughter, and that her frustration is echoed by a lot of her customers, she said.
"When you go to department stores it seems like everything is either cheap and going to fall apart after you wash it two times, or looks like something a 25-year-old would wear," she said.
All Groovy Gurlz outfits are cute but at the same time something a parent can feel comfortable letting their daughter wear to church, said Haney.
Custom orders and monogramming are available. For more information or to place an order, visit www.groovygurlz.etsy.com.

Video: INTERVIEW: DeMarcus Cousins - U.S. Select Team Center
Video: Team USA Reaction to DeMarcus Cousins
LAS VEGAS, NV - DeMarcus Cousins' first Team USA experience was an eventful one.
"Yeah, he was fouling the (expletive) out of everybody," said Carmelo Anthony, following Friday's first day at UNLV.
One of the fouls committed by the 21-year-old Sacramento Kings center was an elbow to the face of Andre Iguodala.
"I knew it was going to be physical, but not this physical; it's almost a fight out there," Cousins said.
Cousins is a member of the U.S. Select Team which will practice against Team USA in preparations for the Olympics in London next month. His odds of making the team are almost non-existent at this point, but that doesn't discourage the Kings young, budding star.
"The atmosphere is crazy, it's very competitive and I'm just enjoying the whole experience." said Cousins. "You won't get this good of a run anywhere else."
Kobe Bryant is among Cousins' biggest supporters and believes he could provide the team with much needed physicality in international play.
"European basketball is extremely physical," Bryant said. "He brings a physicality to the game that really changes the energy of the game. He's not afraid to make contact, he's not afraid to upset guys and kind of make the game uncomfortable."
Bryant said because of Cousins size and that physicality - and his ability to shoot, he'd love to have Cousins on the team in the London games.
Bryant said he's shared his thoughts with Team USA chairman Jerry Colangelo and head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
"It would be an incredible honor, who wouldn't want to play for USA?" Cousins remarked. "If I get my name called, I gladly accept, if not, I'm still going to enjoy the experience."
The 12-man Olympic team will be announced on Saturday at 5:00 p.m. at the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas. Sacramento Kings public address announcer Scott Moak will emcee the event.

The Dream of a Lifetime
Page 2 of 6
Engelbart's Dream
The central figure in Dormouse is Doug Engelbart, whose long-time passion was to build a working version of Vannevar Bush's "Memex" machine. In the 1940s, while working in Washington, DC, as director of the Pentagon's Office of Scientific Research and Development, Vannevar Bush had imagined a "machine that could track and retrieve vast volumes of information," and he wrote about his idea in the July 1945 issue of the Atlantic Monthly:
"Consider a future device for individual use, which is a sort of mechanized private file and library. It needs a name, and, to coin one at random, 'memex' will do. A memex is a device in which an individual stores all his books, records, and communications, and which is mechanized so that it may be consulted with exceeding speed and flexibility. It is an enlarged intimate supplement to his memory."
Engelbart encountered the idea of the Memex while serving as a radar technician in the U.S. Navy during World War II. It took root in his imagination and, in 1950, he had an epiphany, one that guided him and his work for the next two decades. Markoff writes that Engelbart "saw himself sitting in front of a large computer screen full of different symbols….He would create a workstation for organizing all of the information and communications needed for any given project….he saw streams of characters moving on the display. Although nothing of the sort existed, it seemed the engineering should be easy to do and that the machine could be harnessed with levers, knobs or switches. It was nothing less than Vannevar Bush's Memex, translated into the world of electronic computing."
Engelbart earned a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1955, and was soon working at the Stanford Research Institute (SRI). There, he came across a paper called "Shrinking the Giant Brains for the Space Age," which had been presented at a conference in June 1959. Its author was Jack Staller of the aerospace firm American Bosch ARMA, who had written, prophetically, "The problem is to compress a room full of digital computation equipment into the size of a suitcase, then a shoe box, and finally small enough to hold in the palm of the hand….Forming on the horizon are solid state circuits or the growing of the whole circuit on a single small solid-state wafer and molecular film techniques where films millionths of an inch thick and equally narrow conductors are built up layer over layer to form whole sections or perhaps complete computers in fractions of cubic inches."
Then, as Markoff relates, in February 1960, five years before Gordon Moore published an article in Electronics magazine whose assertions would become known as "Moore's Law," Doug Engelbart came to the same conclusion that Moore would: that a relentless and inevitable increase in computing capacity would result from the continuous shrinking of the transistor. And he saw that with this increase in capacity, computers would soon be powerful enough to augment the human intellect. This dream – Engelbart's dream – has led to computing as we know it.
Engelbart found funding from visionary program managers in the federal government, people such as the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's J. C. R. Licklider, who envisioned computers as a communications tool, and NASA's Bob Taylor, who later assembled and led the great group of computer scientists who headed Xerox PARC. With their support, Engelbart, from 1960 to 1968, led a team at SRI that implemented a prototype system demonstrating his ideas.
The high point of Dormouse is Markoff's recounting of Engelbart's first public presentation, in December 1968, of his "oNLine System" (NLS). Markoff writes, "In one stunning ninety-minute session, [Engelbart] showed how it was possible to edit text on a display screen, to make hypertext links from one electronic document to another, and to mix text and graphics, and even video and graphics. He also sketched out a vision of an experimental computer network to be called ARPAnet and suggested that within a year he would be able to give the same demonstration remotely to locations across the country. In short, every significant aspect of today's computing world was revealed in a magnificent hour and a half.
"There were two things that particularly dazzled the audience:…First, computing had made the leap from number crunching to become a communications and information-retrieval tool. Second, the machine was being used interactively with all its resources appearing to be devoted to a single individual! It was the first time that truly personal computing had been seen."

|Surgical treatment of ruptured aneurysms of the innominate artery.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 6340619 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|The cases of 3 patients with an aneurysm of the innominate artery treated surgically are reported. The clinical manifestations were different, and the surgical procedures employed also varied. In 1 patient, the neck of the aneurysm was isolated and clamped near the aortic arch. It was closed, and a graft was interposed between the ascending aorta and the right carotid and subclavian arteries. In the second, the aneurysm was resected under cardiopulmonary bypass, deep hypothermia, and total circulatory arrest. The neck was closed with a large Teflon patch, and a tube graft was interposed between the ascending aorta and the right carotid artery. In the third, a graft was interposed between both carotid arteries; conventional cardiopulmonary bypass was instituted, and the aorta was clamped between the innominate and the left carotid arteries. The neck of the aneurysm was closed, and a graft was interposed between the ascending aorta and the right carotid and subclavian arteries. All patients had an excellent postoperative course. Our comments regarding the clinical and surgical aspects of this condition are based on the present experience and reports in the literature.

Saving and Improving Lives through Adventure
...with the Kingsley Holgate Foundation
Using adventure to improve and save lives, that is the key concept behind the Kingsley Holgate Africa Foundation, set up by one of the most colourful modern day explorers.
For many years, Land Rover has been supplying Defender and Discovery 4s to Kingsley and his team to deliver humanitarian aid to communities across the continent. At Land Rover, we aim to deepen our relationship with the Foundation over the next few years across three key initiatives:
Anti-Malaria Campaign
The mosquito nets distributed to pregnant mothers and children under the age of five need to be replaced every three to five years. Redistributing nets gives the Foundation the opportunity to gather invaluable research on malaria and mosquito net use, whilst educating rural communities.
Malaria rates have already decreased by up to 75% when mosquito bed nets have been used correctly. The Foundation will distribute a further 15,000 nets next year.
Right to Sight
The Right to Sight campaign distributes ready reader spectacles, allowing poor-sighted rural Africans to work, read their holy book or place a worm on a hook for fishing. The Kingsley Holgate Foundation will distribute approximately 7,000 spectacles over the next year.
Water Purification
The Kingsley Holgate Foundation's LifeStraw campaign aims to reach communities without access to portable water. These include rangers living in the bush and protecting endangered wildlife and rural communities around areas of Cholera-contaminated water. Each LifeStraw lightweight purification device that provides 1,000 litres of drinking water, enough for one person for one year.
We are committed to making a positive contribution to society. Through our Global Corporate Social Responsibility programme, we are Advancing Knowledge and Improving Lives with investment in health, humanitarian and environmental projects. Ultimately, our goal is to bring positive change to the lives of 12 million people worldwide by 2020.

November 28, 2015
PARIS (AP) - Economic recovery in the world's richest countries is accelerating thanks to a "substantial" rebound in world trade and fast growth in Asia.
That's what the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says. The OECD is raising its 2010 forecast for the developed world to 2.7 percent from 1.9 percent.
The Paris-based group representing 31 wealthy countries warns
however that Europe's continuing debt crisis remains a threat and
that the era of instability isn't over.
It said Wednesday that serious risks including Europe's sovereign debt crisis threaten the "relatively auspicious" economic environment.

COTUIT — A Falmouth restaurateur has purchased the assets of The Regatta of Cotuit and plans to reopen it later this month as Villaggio at The Regatta.
Jay Bartolomei, the chef and owner of Landucci Italia in Falmouth, expects to open the Cotuit restaurant June 25. He will continue to run Landucci through August. The staff from the restaurant will move to the Cotuit location, now called Villaggio at The Regatta, he said.
"Everybody is coming with me — they can't wait," Bartolomei said.
Bartolomei bought the equipment and other assets from Peter Menounos and Paul Roiff, who remain owners of the Route 28 property in Cotuit. Bartolomei will lease the building from them.
Menounos, who owns the Santuit Inn in Mashpee, and Roiff, a Boston real estate developer and restaurateur, bought The Regatta in October 2012 at bankruptcy auction.
The pair spent "a couple hundred thousand dollars" on improvements to the building, including upgraded plumbing, electricity, and fixtures.
"Our intent was to find an operator for the space," Menounos said.
Last summer, the restaurant was open under the ownership of Menounos and Roiff, but it has not been open yet this year.
Bartolomei was the owner and chef at Villaggio in Falmouth from 2004 to 2010. He then opened Landucci in leased space at The Falmouth Inn.
Bartolomei said The Regatta's history contributed to the allure in moving into the space.
"I think The Regatta was known more as a special-occasion place," he said.
But Bartolomei said he plans on drawing people more often by having a wider range of prices.
"I am also going to have more affordable items as well," he said.
Weldon Fizell was owner and chef of The Regatta for about six years before it closed in the fall of 2012. Brantz and Wendy Bryan opened the restaurant in 1987, moving from a Falmouth location they launched in 1969.
Bartolomei said Falmouth is "saturated" with restaurants and moving to Cotuit allows him to expand his reach into new parts of the Cape.

There are a series of images that pass through my head, and they consist always of people, not of militants.
Though the rings look solid, they consist of a huge number of icy particles that reflect sunlight back.
They consist of 12 bullet points, none of which mentions the words "Palestinian state" or "two-state solution."
The mystery remains—where are all these paintings; what do they consist of?
This entire year is likely to consist of Congress setting up a series of deadlines.
The gifts, however, did not consist of money, but of natural products.
It was said to consist of twenty-four sail of the line, six frigates, and three sloops.
Many of these pages, I fondly foresee, must consist but of the record of their chatter.
It does not consist of ingenuity limited, but merely of inanity expanded.
"In what my adventure will consist I can't say," I remarked.

Interview with Pascal Humbert
from US Radio-station (Boulder, Co) Radio 1190
from US Radio-station (Boulder, Co) Radio 1190
[Erado by Lilium]
Radio 1190: Lilium on Radio 1190 and we are here with the man behind Lilium, Pascal Humbert also known in the area for his work with 16 Horsepower. Welcome Pascal.
Thank you so much for coming on ... to talk about the new project on Glitterhouse records? Is that right?
Hasn't been officially released, but it's available at Twist & Shout (Denver, Co, USA).
And that particular track had ... the whole album is instrumental with the exception of that track. Although the vocals are kind of instrumental in a way.
And those are done by ...?
We have an album by her, called Flicker. It came out last year. She is an actress, comedian ... done some other things. One of the interesting things on your new album: Transmission Of All ... ??
... is kind of compiling work, some of it is as early as 1984.
And working with 16 Horsepower, you guys tour quite a bit, seems like
or at least you go on long. Just came back in fact from an American tour.
Supporting the two new albums, that you guys have going on right now.
Very exciting
you worked a lot with John Parish, not on this particular album, but with 16 Horsepower.
You brought in a couple of very interesting records, that we will be playing later. One of them we are going to play now, is John Parish.
And we're gonna hear the 7th song from that. And..?
[musical intermission: John Parish followed by Dakota Suite]
Dakota Suite here in Radio 1190, picked by Pascal who is in the studio with us talking about his new project Lilium. Pascal why did you pick that song? Or the group?
Definitely. The album it looks like it is called Navigator's yard? You are telling me it's a British band?
How did you hook up with Glitterhouse? I hadn't heard much about Glitterhouse, and then everyone was wondering where the next 16 Horsepower album would come out. It became Glitterhouse. I was looking at their website and there are a number of great bands on them.
They are in Germany?
Lilium started in 1984 to give it a date, but had it started before then?
Was it hard when being involved in the bands that you've been involved in or 16 Horsepower to be able to set that time that you might need?
Definitely. As we said before, all the tracks are pretty much instrumental. Why do you choose to do the tracks instrumental?
You are the bassist for 16 Horsepower, but you do a number of things. You also play the violin with them?
You mentioned that you're French. Jean-Yves is another member of 16 Horsepower, who is also French, did you came over to America together?
And Passion Fodder have a couple of albums out?
What type of music was that? I've never had the opportunity to hear it. Is it hard to describe?
I noticed that there are some other projects you have worked on.
We're gonna play Spleen in a little bit. First we're gonna play another track from your album Transmission Of All The Good-byes. And this is number 4.
[musical intermission]
You picked out Spleen, why?
You were telling me you had 4 hours to play 4 songs?
Definitely. Somewhere I had read Lilium meant "Fortress", but you really had gotten it from a movie?
Pretty interesting. And the album artwork done by your wife, Tree
It's beautiful
and a picture of you in the inside
Oh, very cool. So lot's of stuff going on for you. What's next? You had mentioned that you're already working on more

JIM MOORE | Go-To Guy storms field after Apple Cup win
I have no idea how it happened. The team that I saw against Arizona State last week could not have beaten anyone, much less the 25th-ranked team in the country.
And as it turned out, Washington State's 31-28 overtime win was unexpected times two. No one thought the Cougars could win going into the game, and certainly no one thought they could win when they trailed 28-10 entering the fourth quarter.
That made it even better — the Dawgs were the ones who Couged it — for the first time in Apple Cup history, a team blew an 18-point lead.
But I'm so stunned and elated that I can't talk smack to the Huskies today. I'm sure that by tomorrow I'll be back in the swing of things, mocking the Dawgs for what I'm hoping will be an invitation to the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl to play Navy.
This "winning a game stuff" is a foreign concept for Coug fans this season — we'd watched our favorite team lose eight in a row.
In some games, we looked halfway decent. In some halves, we looked really decent. In other games, we looked awful.
We were 2-9 entering the Apple Cup and winless in Pac-12 play. Three weeks ago, one of our best players, Marquess Wilson, quit the team, citing physical and emotional abuse from the coaching staff, leading to ongoing Pac-12 and WSU athletic department investigations.
I sensed a fractured locker room and also felt that the team quit in its games against Utah and Arizona State.
Very little suggested that Washington State could don its crimson-and-gray rally caps for a season-salvaging win against the Dawgs.
I went to the game with my wife and 8-year-old twins, wondering why I would spend $1,000 to watch the Cougs fall to 2-10 with their ninth straight loss. I left Martin Stadium feeling like it was the greatest decision ever.
How cool was it when Jeff Tuel miraculously avoided being sacked, going to all fours at one point, only to rise and find Dominique Williams for a big gainer during the Cougs' fourth-quarter rally.
I'm thrilled for Tuel, who has experienced so many injuries and heartbreaks. For him to throw for 350 yards and be the winning quarterback in what figures to be his last game at Washington State, what a way to go out.
And how about that overtime interception return by Kalafitoni Pole that nearly resulted in a game-ending touchdown? Imagine Chris Berman calling that one — it was the ultimate in rumbling, stumbling and bumbling.
Every Cougar fan in the stadium — and I'm guessing everyone in front of their flat screens — urged Pole on, trying to help him lug his way across the goal line.
Offhand, I can't think of a more exciting play in Cougar history.
Then there's Andrew Furney, the kicker who made the 45-yard field goal that tied the game at 28-28 and made Pole's return in overtime possible. Furney then hit the game-winning field goal that caused everyone to storm the field in one of the happiest frenzies I've ever seen at Martin Stadium.
I admit that I discarded the last remnants of my professional journalist past when I jumped over the railing and joined the celebration with my wife and kids.
After not pulling a hamstring or something else with an awkward entrance to the field, I didn't know what to do — I'm not familiar with storming the field etiquette; I'm usually heading to the nearest bar after a Cougar game, trying to keep my chin from dragging on the pavement.
I talked to a good buddy of mine, Robert Landick, after the game. We've been watching Cougar football for 38 years and agreed that the 2012 Apple Cup was the second-best we'd ever seen.
I want to call it the best, but that would be doing injustice to the '82 game when we were 2-7-1 and the Huskies were 9-1 and ranked fifth in the country as I recall.
Chuck Nelson went wide right with a fourth-quarter field-goal attempt just like Travis Coons did on Friday.
By the way, as much as I'm glad that Coons missed, I admit to feeling bad for him. There's no in between for a kicker at the end of a game — you're either the greatest for making it or the worst thing ever if you fail to split the uprights.
The best part was seeing the looks on my kids' faces after the game and ever since. In the last five years, the Cougs have gone 12-49 — Mikey and Stevie were born after the three consecutive 10-win seasons from 2001-03. All they've ever associated the Cougs with is losing.
Sunday morning they were beaming while watching the Pole return on YouTube and the on-field celebration again. When the neighbor kid rang the doorbell, they greeted him by saying: "Hey, Jake, the Cougars won!"
I'm hoping this will be some kind of springboard to whatever's next for Cougar football under Leach. This season has been largely disappointing, but it was shockingly fun in the end.

Keith Rocco won the Budweiser 150 SK Modified national event on Saturday night at Waterford Speedbowl.
Keith Rocco won the Budweiser 150 SK Modified national event on Saturday night at Waterford Speedbowl.
It was Rocco's second straight victory in the event, but this win came under different circumstances. Rocco led the first nine laps of the race in 2012 before the rest of the race was postponed because of rain. Rocco was suspended for his involvement in an altercation in the pit area before the conclusion of the 150-lap event could be held, so Todd Ceravolo finished the race in Rocco's 88 and won. Since Rocco started the event, he was credited as the winner.
The Meriden native did it all himself this time around. After starting 17th Rocco took the lead with 69 laps to go after biding his time early in the race, and held off challenges by track champion Tyler Chadwick and Woody Pitkat.
Pitkat, who won at Stafford Speedway on Friday and Thompson Speedway on Thursday, was second and Chadwick was third. Tom Abele Jr. finished fourth and Rob Janovic was fifth.

Hey fellow Veteran!!!! It is your choice on what you want to do. If you have the experience than go for it. I too am on terminal leave from the Navy and have found that it is a rewarding job and great feeling to be free from my obligation from the U S Navy. I get up when I want and go to work when I want and that is almost everyday cause brother you by your self have the potential to make 400 to 500 dollars a day and if your friend gets on board you can easily double that. I spent 26 years floating ships for the Navy and I enjoyed it every minute of it. Now I enjoy the fresh cut of grass in the morning with a nice hot cup of Java and a Cig.
Equipment depends on what you are going to be cutting. I myself cut churches and residential. this is my equipment list:
1996 Dodge Ram 1500
6.5 x 14 ft tandem trailer with electric brakes
2003 44" Exmark Lazer Z HP
2003 48" Exmark Metro HP Walk Behind with Floating Deck
2003 32" Exmark W/B Fixed Deck
1997 John Deere LT 133 Lawn Tractor
1 John Deere Backpack Blower
1 John Deere Stick Edger
1 John Deere Weed eater
1 Weed eater Hand Held Blower
1 John Deere Three Wheel Edger
1 John Deer 22" Commercial Mower
All Kind of hand power hand tools, air tools and air compressor to work and maintain equipment.
As you can see by my list I am a John Deer and Exmark Man, but this is my preference. There are alot of good equipment out there. The Last thing I will tell you is go to your local government and see what Licenses you need. Oh and don't forget about Insurance. I hope this helps you out. I bid my yards at 2.99 per 1000 sqft. but never below 40 dollars. That is mowing trimming and edging. GOD SPEED!!!!!! Fly Boy

Re: C17loadsmasher
So a typical 5,000 ft home lawn would bring in a whopping $14.95, except for your $40 minimum?
Sounds like you're going to be off on both ends. Your per foot pricing is too low for small properties, and your minimum is too high for others. Personally I think per-foot pricing is very inaccurate. Here's why: You can't account for the differences in obstacles, hills, shape of lawn, type of grass, fertility/growth rate, type of edging, etc per-foot. It might be useful as part of a formula, but it really all boils down to time, difficulty, and equipment. I doubt anyone wants to be mowing hills all day. But if you bid the same per foot price, the only bids you'll consistently get will be the hilly lots where your price is too low. And the easy flat rectangles of grass you'll tend to lose because your bid might be too high. It also doesn't factor in your drive time. With your system of pricing, you'll make the same amount doing two 20,000 foot properties as you will doing a single 40,000 foot one. Which will take longer? The two smaller ones, since you may have to drive 5-15 minutes to reach the second property.
With experience you can size up most properties. Knowing how big it is is important. But you have to adjust a quote for other factors too. Here's an example of how equipment factors in the equation.....you have a lawn to do with a gated back yard. You can't fit your 48" mowers in, so you have to use your 32". This will take longer. Yet the footage didn't change, did it? Or you have a slope where you have to switch to a walk behind to do. This requires you to spend a few extra minutes switching mowers, then you have to mow with a lesser unit. Or the ground is poorly drained and will often be too wet to put a heavy ZTR on. There are lots of factors to consider when bidding a job. It'd be nice to run a wheel over it and plug it into a formula. But this isn't fertilzing lawns.
Around here, some lawns and grass types can't be mowed w/o scalping with anything but a 32" or smaller deck. I can mow them with a ZTR in 10 minutes, but it wouldn't be a quality job, and I'd soon lose the customer. Using a 32" to do it right it takes me 20 minutes. If I want to be accurate in pricing, I have to take that into account. Finally, I will be much more tired at the end of the day walking behind a small wb, than sitting on my rear end on a ZTR. So I also need to factor that into my bid. I want more money for more difficult work.
As for the loadmaster.....I would also advise working for someone else for at least a few months to learn the ropes. It's not rocket science, but it's not as easy as it looks. It may only be $8/hour, but you won't have equipment costs so it will probably be as much as you'd net anyway, and you can make mistakes on someone else's time. Start cold turkey and you'll just burn bridges with new customers. This equipment is NOT like mowing with your Murray 21" at home. After 12 years I am still learning new ways to be more efficient at it.

From September 2007 - December 2012 citizens surrendered:
- 7,632 small arms and large weapons
- 71,361 explosive weapons and devices
- 3.208,622 rounds of ammunition, and
- 2.515,555 kg of expolosives
Project represents continuation of joint Ministry of Interior and UNDP activities in community policing/crime prevention area previously undertaken as per programme "Destruction for development: engaging communities in fighting crime in support of the Ministry of Interior´s Community Based Policing" as of September 2008 which included "Agreement on cooperation of the United Nations Development Programme in Croatia and the Ministry of Interior of the Republic of Croatia in the fire-arms collection and public awareness raising campaign" as of September 2007 and project "Support in establishment of Crime Prevention coordination unit and enforcement of systematic crime prevention work" as of March 2012.
Project focuses on continuation of technical support in development of crime prevention system with Ministry of Interior so in order to strengthen the capacity of crime prevention system, UNDP and MoI will jointly continue to implement activities within two prevention campaigns, strengthening the work of the Crime Prevention Councils, which aim to be democratic and accountable bodies for dialogue, consensus, decision-making and projects with a clear mandate to make communities safer places to live and work.
Arms control activities - The large-scale accumulation of small arms and light weapons (SALW) has been recognised as an important challenge to peace and security. This has been defined by the EU Strategy on fight against illegal accumulation and trafficking in small arms and light weapons and ammunition, Croatian National Strategy and Action Plan on Small Arms and Light Weapons. Consequently, in order to minimize the risk of proliferation of SALW, it is crucial to destroy collected surpluses of weapons and to establish more expert knowledge on ballistics and SALW.
Through this activity the Ministry of Interior shall continue with the destruction of surplus and collected small arms and light weapons. Furthermore for the professionals working in the Centre for Investigation, Examination and Forensics "Ivan Vučetić" additional expert education will be organized in the area of SALW and ballistics.
Development od victims support activities with the police - In order to continue with the implementation of positive solutions related to the particular considerate treatment of victims and in order to implement effective strategies for assistance and support to victims, it is necessary to further strengthen the mechanism of cooperation between the police and other relevant government agencies and organizations that can provide necessary support and assistance to victims.
Tendency in the development of crime prevention system and victims support is also striving to build a "positive image" of police, its visibility, strengthening of its professionalism and expertise which is only possible through further cooperation with other relevant state, public institutions and non-governmental organizations.
Project objectives are:
Results of the project will be:
Joint MUP and UNDP campaign aimed at fighting violence against women, domestic violence, and youth violence entitled Living Life Without Violence was continued and first campaign activity was organized in Varazdin on 22 May 2012.
Campaign event was focused on the prevention of all kinds of violence and on building a culture of nonviolence among young people and it included:
Arms collection and awareness raising camaping Less arms - less tragedies will also be continued so in order to prepare for the continuation of the campaign activities new promotional materials were designed and currently await production and distribution (T-shirts, pads, pens, posters, leaflets, comics, etc.) New promo materials contain the slogan "Less arms, less tragedies", and they are all presented through the new visual identity based on a new format - comic book.
Campaign activities that will follow will include organization of public events in the presence of the media which would include conceptual thematic programs aimed at raising awareness on danger associated with illegal possession of weapons. These, campaign activities will include thematic workshops organized in cooperation with comic-book club with the aim to raise public awareness on endangerment posed by illegal weapons through use of one form of art – comic books.
