If we agree to "think globally", it becomes evident that riveting attention on GROWTH could be a grave mistake because we are denying how economic and population growth in the communities in which we live cannot continue as it has until now. Each village's resources are being dissipated, each town's environment degraded and every city's fitness as place for our children to inhabit is being threatened. To proclaim something like, 'the meat of any community plan for the future is, of course, growth' fails to acknowledge that many villages, towns and cities are already 'built out', and also 'filled in' with people. If the quality of life we enjoy now is to be maintained for the children, then limits on economic and population growth will have to be set. By so doing, we choose to "act locally" and sustainably.
More economic and population growth are no longer sustainable in many too many places on the surface of Earth because biological constraints and physical limitations are immutably imposed upon ever increasing human consumption, production and population activities of people in many communities where most of us reside. Inasmuch as the Earth is finite with frangible environs, there comes a point at which GROWTH is unsustainable. There is much work to done locally. But that effort cannot reasonably begin without sensibly limiting economic and population growth.
To quote another source, "We face a wide-open opportunity to break with the old ways of doing the town's business….." That is a true statement. But the necessary "break with the old ways" of continous economic and population growth is not what is occurring. There is a call for a break with the old ways, but the required changes in behavior are not what is being proposed as we plan for the future. What is being proposed and continues to occur is more of the same, old business-as-usual overconsumption, overproduction and overpopulation activities, the very activities that appear to be growing unsustainbly. More business-as-usual could soon become patently unsustainable, both locally and globally. A finite planet with the size, composition and environs of the Earth and a community with the boundaries, limited resources and wondrous climate of villages, towns and cities where we live may not be able to sustain much longer the economic and population growth that is occurring on our watch. Perhaps necessary changes away from UNSUSTAINABLE GROWTH and toward sustainable lifestyles and right-sized corporate enterprises are in the offing.
Think globally while there is still time and act locally before it is too late for human action to make any difference in the clear and presently dangerous course of unfolding human-induced ecological events, both in our planetary home and in our villages, towns and cities.

The sprit of Steven's piece is fine, but not all people in the world enjoy a quality of life they would like to be maintained for their children !

Dear T.E. Manning,
Your comment is spot on. Thank you for it. Somehow, we have to immediately find practical ways to improve the lives of the least fortunate children among us. That goal must be achieved, even as we strive to maintain an adequate quality of life for the most fortunate young people.

This situation is no longer deniable. Opportunities like the one offered at RIO+20 cannot be missed. During my lifetime, many have understood the Global Predicament we are facing now, but only a few 'voices in the wilderness' were willing to speak out loudly and clearly about what everyone can see. It is not a pretty sight. The human community has precipitated a planetary emergency that only humankind is capable of undoing. The present 'Unsustainable Path' has to be abandoned in favor of a "road less travelled by". It is late; there is no time left to waste. Perhaps now we will gather our remarkably abundant, distinctly human resources and respond ably to the daunting, human-induced, global challenges before us, the ones that threaten life as we know it and the integrity of Earth as a fit place for human habitation. Many voices, many more voices are needed for making necessary changes.

Perhaps we are dealing with a collective failure of perception within the leadership of the human community at the Rio Summit that results in an inadequate reality orientation to the world we inhabit as well as to the 'placement' of the human species within the order of living things. Not nearly enough leaders see that there can be no sensibly functioning global economy without the natural resources and ecosystem services only the Earth can provide. No living Earth, no human economy.
There are no substitutes for certain vital resources and environmental stabilization mechanisms of the Earth. Geo-engineering of the Earth and its ecology, as a way of trying to protect and preserve what is being degraded and destroyed on our watch, could be a monumental fool's errand.

Thinking globally, acting locally and defining sustainability
http://normantranscript.com/opinion/x1915499482/Seek-true-sustainability-over-growth Â
The Norman Transcript
June 24, 2012
NORMAN - Editor, The Transcript:
My opinion is that the current global recession will not end until human societies change. Very difficult, given the nature of political systems and the human condition.
Global human population tripled during the 20th century and is currently near 7 billion. Human population diminishes the planetary resource base, increases demand and prices, and is a cause of the present global recession. Nevertheless, global human population is presently increasing by about 80 million annually. Norman and the United States as a whole have contributed. The U.S. human population quadrupled during the 20th century and continues to increase today. Norman's population was about 27,000 in 1950, 52,000 in 1970, 97,000 in 2000, and was 111,000 in 2010.
None of this population increase seems enough for Chambers of Commerce in Norman, in Oklahoma, and across our land. In The Norman Transcript on June 19th, John Woods, current chair of the Norman C of C, called for us to "build a community of economic success, strong quality of life amenities that attract the next generation of young professionals and families to help fund the critical components of our city that we all care about. We need to begin a dialogue..." This letter is an effort to contribute to that dialogue. My view is that we already have the above listed attributes in Norman and that CofCs call for more growth is detrimental.
One of our City Councilors recently said to me, "If you don't grow, you rot." This reminds of another local issue, NEDA, which is treated here only by implication. In my opinion, the City Councilor's opinion is true only for cultural growth. Human numbers and society are past the point that physical growth becomes detrimental. Furthermore, all forms of physical growth are not sustainable, though often so-called. Malthus spoke more than a century ago to an imbalance between population growth and food supply, an imbalance detrimental to human welfare. Forty-five years ago, Paul Ehrlich wrote The Population Bomb, and Hardin published a collection of numerous papers with dire predictions. These authors were not mistaken, but they were premature because they did not and could not anticipate effects of burgeoning technology, which has greatly facilitated extraction of resources.
Technology does not contradict science; technology is science in application. The increased rate of resource extraction and still rising human populations are grave threats to future human welfare. But, what can we do? What should we do?
One action that should be helpful would be for CofCs to renounce population growth as an appropriate objective and to devote their intelligence and efforts to formulation of a healthful alternate paradigm of true sustainability.

Human population dynamics are essentially similar to, not different from, the population dynamics of other species. If you can see this phenomenon, then speak out about it. How are we to do anything with regard to the global predicament spawned by skyrocketing human population numbers if we cannot widely share and consensually validate an adequate understanding, based upon the best available science, of why human numbers have been growing so rapidly? Scientists have got to speak out because silence is vanquishing science. The science of human population dynamics has been a taboo topic for too long. I have come to believe that top rank scientists and other self-proclaimed experts are acting as gatekeepers of current, conventional, preternatural thought and deniers of new scientific research, especially when that science regards the human population. That you are willing to say something about what you see regarding human population dynamics takes intellectual honesty and uncommon courage.

I cannot help but wonder what knowledgeable people are to do when a species like Homo sapiens is confronted with a colossal planetary emergency that it appears to have induced. Do human beings not have an original, overarching obligation or perhaps an absolute duty to warn of such a dire situation? What honor should be bestowed on first rank scientists and other esteemed professionals in possession of well-established science who pose as if they "see no truth, hear no truth and speak no truth" regarding known causes of the clear and present danger while mainstreamed, false (preternatural, pseudoscientific) knowledge is deliberately allowed to stand unchallenged as if it represented the best available science?

Is it not science, and science alone, that allows us to confirm our perceptions as objective correlates of reality and truth? Without science, thought leaders and power brokers in cultures everywhere are free to transmit memes at will, regardless of the extent to which the memes bear a meaningful relationship to what could be real and true. For example, a preternatural factoid or meme like "food must be produced in order to meet the needs of a growing population" is falsely given credence as an established scientific idea although it reflects the opposite of the actual relationship between food supply and human numbers. Findings from science indicate population numbers are the dependent variable and food the independent variable, just like the population dynamics of other species. By increasing the food supply, we are in fact growing the human population, are we not? That human exceptionalism applies to its population dynamics and therefore is essentially different from (not similar to) the population dynamics of other species is a pseudoscientific factoid, bereft of an adequate foundation in science. Overwhelming science regarding the human population indicates that human population numbers appear as a function of food supply. For many this scientific idea is on the one hand irrefutable and on the other hand unbelievable. So completely are we enthralled by the notion of human exceptionalism. Exploding human numbers are the natural result of the Industrial and later Green Revolutions, are they not?
I refuse to be duped by clever vendors of words and overly educated sycophants of the rich and powerful who falsely claim they are scientists and then promulgate preternatural theories they pass off as proven results of scientific research. Demographers and economists are not scientists. Is there any question about that fact? These pseudoscientists are presenting false knowledge that is appealing because it presents us with what we wish to believe about the way the world we inhabit works as well as about the placement of the human species within the natural order of living things. Their false knowledge happens simultaneously to be politically convenient, economically expedient, socially desirable, religiously acceptable and culturally syntonic. This is 'the standard' for determining what is real among the economists and demographers.
Many of you have evidently come across false knowledge from conventional, Neoclassical Cornucopian Economics and the Demographic Transition Theory. These theories are bereft of a foundation in science. Is there any question about the speciousness of what is presented ubiquitously by demographers and economists? Endless resources in a finite world? Indestructible ecology that is in fact frangible? Automatic population stabilization? A benign end to population growth soon? A glorious world by 2050 when the entire human community will reap the benefits you and I enjoy now because everyone will have entered Stage 4 of the demographic transition?
Not economics and demography, but science must to be our guide because science stands alone as the best method by far for comprehending what could be real and true. Science needs to be categorically distinguished from all that is not science. Then, perhaps, we will be able to see more clearly how the world we inhabit works and more accurately our placement within the natural order of living things. The 'imprimatur' of science has been not so surreptitiously usurped by pseudoscientific disciplines in which professional research is primarily underwritten by wealthy power brokers. Economic and demographic research is designed and the findings presented so as to comport with the transparent self interests of the rich and powerful. Where in the research is intellectual honesty to be found? Where are the scientists who will speak out to correct this widespread wrongdoing? The conscious and deliberate silence of scientists that gives consent to such unethical professional behavior cannot be longer tolerated because of the confusion it willfully engenders among those who are seeking direction from the best available scientific research. Would anyone object to having the findings of demographic and economics research described as preternatural results? Demography and economics are prime examples of what science is not.

Obscure wars breed little known and forgotten heroes. The job of the historian is to resurrect these paladins and explain their deeds to a new generation. Stephen Decatur is one such forgotten soldier: the youngest captain in American naval history, a hero of two wars and the star of a new generation of civic leaders. His life, so replete with action and honor, is vividly chronicled by naval historian James Tertius de Kay in his latest book, A Rage for Glory: The Life of Commodore Stephen Decatur, USN. Decatur's life was epitomized by the pursuit of glory, honor and fame, and de Kay admirably sticks to those core elements in his examination of the man and his many accomplishments. Decatur fought daringly against Barbary pirates, even torching a captured U.S. ship in the enemy's own harbor, and likewise bested the British navy during the War of 1812, towing the frigate Macedonian 2,200 miles back to America as a trophy. Unfortunately, it was his code of honor that also led to Decatur's fatal duel with his former comrade, James Barron. The duel imbues the entire narrative with its malevolent inevitability, and de Kay details a cogent conspiracy theory against Decatur that drew him to his death.
Decatur's hero status is undeniable, but heroes are not infallible, and de Kay's narrative suffers from occasional touches of hero-worship and hyperbole. Decatur's arrogance is sometimes dismissed as elan, his failures as victories, and his death as a tragedy unparalleled in American history. Yet, this audacity of narration mirrors Decatur's own boldness in warfare and self-promotion, creating a kind of synergy between the biographical portrait and the character at its center. In this well researched work of popular history, de Kay skillfully brings Decatur to life and weaves together a narrative that reads like an adventure novel.

There is a growing interest in the question how individual top performance is achieved. Research shows that the way individuals practice skills and the amount of practice they do largely explains differences between top performers and others. Below, two concepts of effective practice are explained: deliberate practice and deep practice.
Deliberate practice: Anders Ericsson's body of work has demonstrated through research that building top expertise is more than a matter of raw talent a matter of long and repeated deliberate practice. Deliberate practice is an effortful activity designed to improve individual target performance and it consists of the following four elements: 1) It's designed specifically to improve performance, 2) It is repeated a lot, 3) Feedback on results is continuously available, 4) It's highly demanding mentally, and not necessarily particularly enjoyable because it means you are focusing on improving areas in your performance that are not satisfactory. Thus, it stretches you. If you'll be able to do deliberate practice, you'll benefit by becoming better, especially if you'll be able to keep it up for extremely long periods of time. Top performance in a wide array of fields is always based on an extreme amount of deliberate practice. Researchers estimate that a minimum of 10000 hours is required. Also, to remain at the top, prolonged deliberate practice is required. An interesting thing about deliberate practice is that its effect is cumulative. You can compare it with a road you're traveling on. Any distance you have travelled on that road counts. So, if you have started at an early age, this will lead to an advantage over someone who started later.
Deep practice: In his book The Talent Code, Daniel Coyle describes a way of effective practice which he calls 'deep practice'. Deep practice is a way of attentive practicing which closely resembles deliberate practice (which Coyle acknowledges). What happens in the brain while deep practice is done is described in this post: Mastery through Myelin. A first step in deep practice is to look at the task at a whole. One way of doing this is to observe an experienced performer. A second step is to divide it into its smallest possible chunks (components) and practice and memorize these separately. Then, link them together in progressively larger groupings. A third step is to play with time, first slowing the action down and then speeding it up. Slowing down helps you to attend more closely to errors, creating a higher degree of precision. To build and retain skill continued deep practice is required with an optimal time investment of between three and five hours a day. In deep practice you pick a specific target (a part of the task you want to master), then you reach for it, you evaluate the gap between the target and the reach and to start again. Detecting mistakes is essential for making progress. This error-focused element of deep practice makes it a struggle, a process of stretching which is likely to be slightly dissatisfying or frustrating but which leads to growth.
While I am not completely convinced that Coyle's description of effective practice deserves a separate name (deliberate practice would have done well, I think) his explanation is useful and interesting. His attention for chunking, error-focus, varying speed and repetition are thought provoking.

Kwang Choi "K.C." Joy Answers "Hell No" When Asked If He Murdered Maribel Ramos: Update
See Update No. 4 at the bottom of page 2 about K.C. Joy answering "hell no" when asked if he murdered his "dream," Maribel Ramos. Update No. 3 on page 2 is about unrequited love being a possible motive in the case. Update No. 2 at the bottom of the next page is about the charges against Joy. Update No. 1 on the next page concerns allegations of past violence by Joy in Tennessee.
ORIGINAL POST, MAY 20, NOON: Kwang "K.C." Joy, who is currently being held in lieu of $1 million bail, is due to be arraigned Tuesday for the murder of the 54-year-old's roommate of one and a half years, Maribel Manriquez Ramos.
Questioned by police and the media in the days after the 36-year-old U.S. Army veteran and Cal State Fullerton criminology student went missing, Joy had described Ramos as his best friend and the only family he had.
Joy had said he last saw Ramos outside their Orange apartment on May 2. Her family reported her missing the following day. The woman's body was found May 16 near Santiago Canyon and Jackson Ranch roads in Modjeska Canyon.
After the county coroner confirmed the identification of the body, Joy was taken to the Orange Police Department, questioned and arrested.
Maribel Manriquez Ramos Confirmed to be Dead Body; Roommate Held in Murder
Cal State Fullerton President Mildred García, who in February released a statement about murder victim and Titans assistant women's basketball coach Monica Quan, on Friday shared about Ramos (via the university's media-relations office):
The Titan family is profoundly sad upon hearing confirmation by the Orange Police Department that a body found Thursday has been identified as our student Maribel Ramos.
Since Maribel went missing earlier this month, our community has come together to spread the word about her disappearance and keep her foremost in our hearts and prayers.
Maribel was a beloved student and military veteran, who was actively engaged here on our campus and in the community. She was a wonderful role model for our students, faculty and staff. And we honor her for her past service to our country as an airborne paratrooper in the Army and her commitment to her education.
We continue to offer our support to her family and friends during this exceedingly difficult time.
UPDATE NO. 1, MAY 20, 8:16 P.M.: Before moving to Orange County, Kwang Joy lived in Knoxville, Tennessee, in January, he threatened to kill his sister, who still lives there, according to that city's Local 8 television station.
A reader in our comments section to this post points to a bail-bond company's Most Wanted In Tennessee Facebook page, which shows a Kwang Choi Joy being wanted and last seen in California.
But a check of the link there for more information on the crime goes to a page that no longer exists. Which brings up more confusion, such as that of the suspect's name. That last Orange police report identified the man arrested for Ramos' murder as Kwang Cho "K.C." Joy. Other sources give his name as Kwang Choi Joy, and still others as Kwang Choi (without the Joy).
UPDATE NO. 2, MAY 21, 8:51 A.M.: Maribel Manriquez Ramos and Kwang Choi "K.C." Joy argued on May 2 about the man's unpaid rent, which included her demanding he move out, according to the Orange County district attorney's office (OCDA).
Either that day or the next, Joy murdered Ramos, then dumped her body in Modjeska Canyon, reads an OCDA statement on this morning's scheduled arraignment hearing for Joy.
He is charged with felony murder and faces up to 25 years to life in state prison if convicted.
Surveillance video of Ramos dropping off a rent check at a property-management office is the last known footage of her alive, the OCDA discloses.

For as long as people have been making charts of the oceans of the world, the line that marks equidistance from the poles has exercised the imagination of sailors.
Mt Gay Rum 2013 Neptune Regatta. Manao Express at the equator.
In the 18th century many and various traditions grew up around the supposition that 'Crossing the Line' for the first time provoked an aggressive visit from King Neptune himself – often accompanied by Queen Codfish, Davy Jones, and a whole panoply of salty characters demanding obeisance to His Aquatic Majesty, a reckoning of nautical sins, some Right Royal forgiveness and the conversion of newcomers (Slimy Pollywogs) into loyal subjects of the King, known as Trusty Shellbacks.
How many ocean races provide for an opportunity to Cross the Line? The Volvo and the Vendee Globe for sure, and maybe the Clipper depending on the route, but not everyone has the time or the qualifications to participate in such events.
Mt Gay Rum 2013 Neptune Regatta. King Neptune (Ian Walker) inflicts punishment on two Slimy Pollywogs - inc Jamie Boag (r)
So for those wishing to have last Monday's dinner rubbed in their hair, a desire to be covered in beaten egg and black syrup, an uncontrollable urge to consume evil concoctions of fish sauce Tabasco, coffee grounds, rum and durian, here is your opportunity. Welcome to the only race on the planet (that we know of) that has a finish line on the equator. Welcome to the Garmin Race to Zero – 0 degrees 0.00 minutes – the equator.
1005 start time (to allow for anyone who may have overindulged last night – heaven forbid – all classes, one start and motoryachts joining too. An 8nm sail in highly variable breeze. From the Committee Boat on the equator we could see the whole racecourse, from Neptune's Realm at 0deg 0.00min, all the way back to the start line at Pulau Sikeling. It's not often that you can read a race so well just by looking at the whole track. The principal item was a big rain cell that moved east to west across the northern end of the course. Those that looked back and saw it coming 'got lucky' and gybed early, leaving the back markers stranded in no breeze at all and allowing themselves to beat into the draft sucked into the system. Not quite a straight line to the finish, but almost.

Kukukerchu read it right, crossing the line at 1137h, and so did Shahtoosh, both winning their respective divisions (IRC Racing, Premier Cruising) by handsome margins. The rest of the divisions straggled in with dying breeze.
After passing over the equator, boats are allowed 'time out' to complete Crossing the Line ceremonies. One young lady seemed to have mysteriously lost her swimsuit, no doubt an offering to His Majesty. Across the fleet, champagne corks popped, silly wigs were donned, respectable citizens suddenly turned into pirates, and Slimy Pollywogs were turned into Trusty Shellbacks. Jamie Boag - Director of two VOR challenges, but still a pollywog – was unfortunate to have brought along his good friend Ian Walker – two-time VOR skipper and therefore an exceptionally Trusty Shellback. Boag was last seen manacled to the backstay, bedecked with seaweed and being lashed with spiky palm fronds. Rumours of having been administered 'a very stiff drink' are unconfirmed at time of going to press.

By now the rain cell had moved off too the west, taking all the wind with it. This A Good Thing if you are conducting Crossing he Line ceremonies, but Not a Good Thing if you wish to complete the round trip and sail back to Neptune Island. PRO Jerry Rollin and ARO Prakash Reddy exercised their magisterial wisdom, abandoned racing for the rest of the day, and commanded another toast to King Neptune. Do not pass Go, straight back to Pulau Sikeling.

A Virginia funeral home made a mistake and buried the wrong body in place of a decorated Army colonel who was supposed to be buried at Arlington National Cemetery.
The body of Joseph Malvin Mal Chapman, 80, had been switched, according to his son, Jim McLean.
The family was appalled that not only did the funeral home mix up the bodies, they dressed the wrong man in Chapmans uniform.
My dads uniform ... thats degradation beyond words for a military man, McLean told WJLA-TV News.
Chapman, of Fairfax, Va., was a grandfather 17 times over, according to his obituary. He was a signals and communications officer commissioned in 1955. He served for 28 years, with assignments in Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and Germany.
This just isnt right, McLean said. This should never, never happen. This is something you read in a fiction novel or see in a movie on TV.
McLean realized immediately something was wrong, but said when he alerted the funeral home staff, he was dismissed.
His twin was here my Uncle Alvin came from Tennessee. He immediately recognized it wasnt him. The nose was totally different, McLean said.
McLean told WJLA the funeral director refused to address the family, but eventually checked the toe tag and realized it wasnt Chapmans body in the casket.
A manager at Everly Funeral Home in Fairfax reportedly told McLean that his father has been buried in Winchester, Va., and that a judge would have to order an exhumation.

FA/The Best of Both Worlds (episode)
Template page | < Template:FA
this wiki
"The Best of Both Worlds" was the 26th and final episode of the third season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Commander Riker, Data, Worf, and Geordi La Forge file into a transporter room. Worf notifies Riker that there has been no contact from the surface of Jouret IV for over twelve hours, nor any signs of life. Immediately after the away team is beamed down by Transporter Chief Miles O'Brien, the team finds not only that the entire colony of New Providence has been completely destroyed but also that the colony's former town-center is now nothing more than a giant crater.
As the Enterprise flies alongside an Excelsior-class transport ship, Hanson and Shelby inform Captain Picard and Riker – in Picard's ready room – that Starfleet is unprepared for a potential Borg incursion, despite having known for over a year that they are coming. The officers discuss whether the colony was destroyed by the Borg and refer to the Enterprise's first contact with them, at System J-25 a year ago. Hanson asserts that Shelby – an expert on the Borg – will lead the investigation.

A Teaching School Garden Slowly Takes Form in Pakistan
Less than a handful of schools in Pakistan integrate common curriculum with gardening and agriculture. The Abruzzi School Garden in the village of Siankhor is the first initiative, in a rural setting, born of the minds of its student body and local residents.
"To ensure the garden's sustainability, it became increasingly clear to us that the entire community must see the project as essential, and understand its concept – in order to respect its function."

Thousands are expected at downtown St. Paul's RiverCentre this weekend as Minnesota's Hmong community celebrates the Hmong New Year.
The 38th annual cultural event features traditional dance, music, food, crafts and dress. A variety of commercial vendors will also be on hand for the event Friday, Saturday and Sunday, which coincides with the Miss Hmong Minnesota pageant.
Doors are open from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. all three days. Tickets are available at RiverCentre, 175 W. Kellogg Blvd. Adult admission is $7; seniors 62 and older (ID required) pay $4; and children under 4 are free.
"The new year is an exciting time for Hmong people all over the world and a time for community members to come together to celebrate our culture and traditions," ChuPheng Lee, president of the Lao Family Community of Minnesota, said in a news release. "The Hmong American community is an important part of Minnesota's vibrant social fabric. The Hmong New Year coincides with Thanksgiving weekend and is a time to be with family, celebrate, and share. We are pleased to welcome Hmong and non-Hmong to celebrate with us."
The Lao Family Community of Minnesota, a grass-roots nonprofit assistance program focused on helping Hmong-Minnesotans, is hosting the event, which draws visitors from around the world.
The Hmong traditionally staged New Year's festivals after the rice harvest, usually in November or December, in their former homeland in Laos. They continued the tradition after immigrating to the United States as refugees following the Vietnam War, during which thousands of Hmong -- an ethnic minority in Laos -- fought in the CIA's secret war against the communists.
Minnesota has the largest urban Hmong population in the world, totaling more than 66,000, according to the 2010 U.S. census.

MCLB-ALBANY — Now is the season for giving.
Area Marine reservists kicked off this year's Toys for Tots campaign during a news conference at Marine Corps Logistics Base-Albany Friday afternoon.
Toys for Tots is the largest Department of Defense outreach program. It serves as an avenue for the U.S. Marine Corps, charity organizations and the community to provide toys for underprivileged children.
The program collects new, unwrapped toys from October through December and distributes them as Christmas gifts to needy children.
"This custom, provided by the Marine Corps Reserves, helps area families receive Christmas gifts each year when hardships might make it difficult for them to provide presents to their children," said Gunnery Sgt. Kenneth Starkey, the Albany Toys for Tots coordinator.
Last year's Albany collection started slowly but picked up and met its goal of 4,000 toys, which were distributed to roughly 3,500 children in the Southwest Georgia area — 1,900 of whom were from the Albany area.
Officials are hoping to bring in more for this year's campaign.
"We raise the bar a little each year," Starkey said.
Those wishing to contribute can place an unwrapped toy that costs up to $15 in a Toys for Tots bin.
Those who need to register their children to receive a toy are required to come to the Salvation Army office at 304 W. 2nd Ave. from 9 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday through Friday until Nov. 4.
The Toys for Tots program is open to children up to 12 years of age.
To contact the Salvation Army with further questions, call (229) 435-1428. For further information on how to donate, go to www.albany-ga.toysfortots.org or call (229) 639-8787.

Tim Berners-Lee speaks at Sydney Town Hall, Feb 5th 2013
The man knighted by the Queen and recognised as the inventor of the World Wide Web visited Sydney Town Hall this evening to speak and debate issues relating to how the web has revolutionised the everyday life of citizens today.
Tim BL only had 20 jam packed minutes to go over his invention, which he did so with amusing anecdotes. After coming up with the concept, he was told to write a memo about it, which he did later on and received the feedback that his idea was "vague, but exciting".
The panel with Tim BL, led by Adam Spencer, discussed a wide range of topics including open source programming (the praise and encouragement for female programmers was widely felt), Government data, connectivity and censorship.
After researching Internet Collaborations and Organisations over the summer, my key takeaways included the use of the web to share and collaborate knowledge in order to harness innovation and creativity – not only in the I.T sector, but for all sectors that thrive off transparency. We are beginning to see more and more social and tech entrepreneurs joining communities and merging, and doing so willingly. Technological determinism was addressed indirectly – is it the devices that make us social, or is it the social that creates these devices?
Moving on, it was acknowledged that we are in a consumer economy that does not require the permission to create and produce. Our culture has changed and the way we think and do has become more flexible.
We need to be control of our own data, and not let it be owned and controlled by the Government with excuses about tracking for cyber terrorism. Cyber terrorists know how to bypass internet security so that they aren't in fact traced. The only people traced will be the normal citizen, researching the web looking for information – some of which may be sensitive – researching an intimate disease, researching their sexuality, researching intimate issues in their own private time. That research then turns into a data profile that can be used for fraud or blackmail. The question passed to the audience was, do you really want someone to be in charge of controlling your data? Do you trust your government? Who's to say that the data will be kept safe? And with the infrastructure in general, do we really want to be giving the master switch of the Internet over to our Governments?
Data and what we do with data was the topic du jour. Everything action we commit to on the web is data – from the friendships we create, the tags we attach and the things that we like. There's a load of data being published everyday – is it boring? Not always to everyone, because the data is always relevant to somebody. To you perhaps.
Convergence came up a few times, but is a topic most will be familiar with by now.
Ending the night was a series of 1 minute Q&A. When asked by an eight year old on what will supersede the web, TimBL humbly replied, that is up to you.
And it is.
Katrina /
Hi Paula
This is a fantastic wrap of the TBL talk… I do hope that UTS makes these talks available for everyone to see, either by YouTube or on TED…. I'd love to see the whole talk… I'm sure it was full of very usefully information that really should be known as general knowledge.

A former gay-porn actor who says his Catholic faith saved him from a world of pornography, homosexuality and the occult is scheduled to make a presentation today in Santa Rosa to a religious group called Courage, an apostolate of the Catholic Church that ministers to people with same-sex attractions.
The program, which will be held at the Faith Room of the Parish Life Center at St. Eugene's Cathedral, will feature Joseph Sciambra, an author and missionary who has said, among other things, that "gay identity is tantamount to imprisonment of the soul within the disorder" and that anal sex releases "into the world these rare demonic entities."
The planned presentation has raised concerns among some local Catholics that the Santa Rosa diocese is sanctioning religious tactics that harken back to the days of reparative therapy, aimed at changing people's sexual orientation from homosexual to heterosexual.
The presentation comes amid a focus by Santa Rosa Bishop Robert Vasa on traditional Catholic teachings about homosexuality, birth control and abortion.
Vasa said Thursday that Catholic doctrine is clear on one point: homosexual behavior is sinful.
"The proper ordering of the sexual faculty is toward procreation," he said.
Whenever people use the "sexual faculty" in ways that are not aligned with this order, "even in a vague kind of way, then we would say it's not properly ordered, it's out of order."
Vasa's strict interpretation of long-held Catholic doctrine has upset some parishioners in his generally liberal diocese, which has 165,000 members and extends north to the Oregon border. The bishop has acknowledged a need for church leaders to become more "pastoral" in their work following comments by Pope Francis that have been widely seen as conciliatory toward gays.
Vasa said that Courage's teachings bear similarities to spiritual encouragement centered on chastity that is given to teens.
Other diocese officials dispute that the local Courage ministry resembles reparative therapy. They say the presentation, like regular Courage meetings, is aimed at offering prayerful support to those with homosexual inclinations.

Samsung 12.2-inch Galaxy Note Pro could debut at CES or MWC
updated 12:11 pm EST, Fri December 20, 2013
Samsung said to have confirmed Galaxy Note Pro in private meeting
Samsung reportedly confirmed the existence and imminent release of the rumored 12.2-inch variant in its Galaxy Note tablet line. MovePlayer reported on Friday that the South Korean tech giant had confirmed that it has a Galaxy Note Pro unit in the offing, a device with a larger form factor but similar spec sheet to the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition, which Samsung released earlier this year. The device could be unveiled as early as January, as Samsung may show it off at next year's Consumer Electronics Show.
The newest entry in the Galaxy Note line would supposedly pack a 12.2-inch display, up from the 10.1-inch display on what is currently the largest Note device. The increase in diagonal screen size would bring the Note Pro close to the size of the average notebook computer, at least in terms of device footprint.
That 12.2-inch display, according to rumors, would output at WQXGA resolution, specifically 2560 x 1600. Inside, Samsung would pack 3GB of RAM, though information on the processor is as yet unavailable. It would also reportedly ship with a 9,500mAh battery and run Android 4.4 KitKat.
Samsung has been pushing for its devices to see better adoption among the productivity-oriented. The company last year rolled out a split-screen view feature for the Galaxy Note 10.1, and it expanded that feature to much of the rest of its flagship models this year. Still, the adoption of the "Pro" moniker for this rumored device would indicate that Samsung is getting more serious about a productivity push.

Low temperature-fired Ni-Cu-Zn ferrite nanoparticles through auto-combustion method for multilayer chip inductor applications
1 King Abdullah Institute for Nanotechnology, King Saud University, PO Box 2460, Riyadh, 11451, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
2 Centre of Nanotechnology, King Abdulaziz University, PO Box 80216, Jeddah, 21589, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
Nanoscale Research Letters 2012, 7:112 doi:10.1186/1556-276X-7-112Published: 8 February 2012
Ferrite nanoparticles of basic composition Ni0.7-xZnxCu0.3Fe2O4 (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2, x = 0.05) were synthesized through auto-combustion method and were characterized for structural properties using X-ray diffraction [XRD], scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy [FT-IR]. XRD analysis of the powder samples sintered at 600°C for 4 h showed the cubic spinel structure for ferrites with a narrow size distribution from 28 to 32 nm. FT-IR showed two absorption bands (v1 and v2) that are attributed to the stretching vibration of tetrahedral and octahedral sites. The effect of Zn doping on the electrical properties was studied using dielectric and impedance spectroscopy at room temperature. The dielectric parameters (ε', ε″, tanδ, and σac) show their maximum value for 10% Zn doping. The dielectric constant and loss tangent decrease with increasing frequency of the applied field. The results are explained in the light of dielectric polarization which is similar to the conduction phenomenon. The complex impedance shows that the conduction process in grown nanoparticles takes place predominantly through grain boundary volume.

The New York Post (http://bit.ly/1dk2CgK ) reports that 46-year-old Michelle Nelson of Harlem filed the civil suit Monday, becoming the first to sue over the deadly blast.
Nelson's lawsuit says she sustained "severe and permanent injuries" when the explosion caused her to fall in her apartment more than a block away.
The lawsuit names Con Edison and the owner of 1646 Park Ave., one of the collapsed buildings.
It says they neglected their "duty to keep ... the premises in a safe, proper and secure manner."
Con Ed says it has not seen the lawsuit and could not comment. The owner of 1646 didn't immediately return calls seeking comment.

Workers repackage floral sleeves at ASPIRO.
- Filed Under
Integrating workers with disabilities into the general workforce seems the right thing to do. My brother has worked at ASPIRO for over 30 years. He produces at about 30 percent of the norm.
In my opinion, policymakers have not taken into account his feelings or ability or they would not be proposing rules that could restrict him from continuing his work there. If my brother or I thought he was being cheated in pay and/or either one of us thought he could perform in the general workforce, he already would have been placed there.
My brother requires a great deal of daily supervision that private business would not be able to provide him. It isn't all about the money he earns but rather being around his peers and trained, competent professionals who care a great deal about him and others.
Expecting all workers with disabilities to join the general workforce, when some choose not to, is not right. I say let these people chose their work and where they want to do it. After all, shouldn't the choice be theirs? If you want to see satisfied workers who are valued for who they are, stop by and visit ASPIRO.

A slightly more redfaced-than-usual Prince Harry flew home to London this week, following the leak of nude photos showing him partying the weekend away with (at least) one female friend. And while some family members are happy to forgive him, military bosses are likely to be less easygoing about the scandal. "Officers should never bring the Service into disrepute, whether on or off duty," a British military insider tells Us, noting that the young prince may face a formal reprimand. Harry does have one Brit in his corner, though: the Duchess of Cambridge's second cousin. Burlesque dancer and peripheral family member Katrina Darling recently spoke to RumorFix about the whole nasty affair: "I don't see what the big deal is," she said. "He's just a young man in [Las] Vegas enjoying himself. Although, he really needs to drop the friends that posted those pictures." (HuffPo)

Construction teams in downtown Birmingham, Ala., are working at a near-record pace to complete a $64 million baseball stadium that will be home to the Birmingham Barons. The minor league team, affiliated with the Chicago White Sox, will play its opening game at the new Regions Field in mid-April 2013.
City leaders and Barons executives broke ground on the development in February 2012. The park is located at First Avenue South and 14th Street South, directly across from the nationally recognized Railroad Park. Regions Field, as it will be known, will seat 8,500 fans, 3,300 fewer than Regions Park in Hoover, where the team played for more than two decades.
Currently filled with construction cranes, cement trucks and steel beams, the property is undergoing a dramatic transformation. The actual stadium — or seating bowl — being excavated is among the numerous tasks laid out for construction crews, who are working long hours to meet the spring 2013 deadline.
According to Jimmy Shaw, senior program manager of general contractor Robins & Morton, "The playing surface sits about 18 to 20 feet below the street level. So, as you walk into the stadium from First Avenue South and 14th Street, you'll enter the stadium and actually walk down stairs/steps to the playing surface. The clubhouses for the home and visiting teams are slightly higher than this elevation, yet not by very much.
"The challenge for this type of design is making sure that all of the subsurface drainage systems, piping, pumps, etc.

A unique opportunity in LA?
There is no point in training people to be proficient in video if they can't find a way to earn a living with it.
Of course, not everyone who comes here is looking to make money, but if you are, then I think it is our responsibility to help you to do that.
And that's what we are going to dedicate ourselves to doing.
Sometimes this means creating new businesses where none existed before - like what we are trying to do with used car videos.

Yesterday, I had lunch with Rick Feldman.
He is the CEO of NATPE, that's the National Association of Television Producers and Executive.
It's the biggest trade organization for TV producers and emerging media companies in the US.
Founded in 1964, it brings together media buyers, broadcast and cable networks and channels looking to acquire programming, program distribution companies, financiers, advertisers, technology companies, and content producers.
We are content producers.
And now we are talking with NATPE about ways that we can work together.
One of our most popular series both on nyvs and when we do the live webcasts is 'how to make a living in the business' and 'how to pitch your TV shows'.
Now NATPE is offering you a unique opportunity.
This June (9-10), NATPE is going to be holding a really unique event in Los Angeles - Pitchcon.
It's a place where you can start making those all important connections that lead to a deal.
And it's designed specificaly for up and coming producers who want to 'break into' the business.
If it's your goal to produce TV shows for cable or movies, then this is the must attend event for you.
And we're going to be there as well - running a seminar or two!
So join us and get a real edge of the LA contacts you're going to need to succeed in the business.

GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KKCO)-- Coming off a 27-point loss to Colorado Mines this past weekend, the Mavericks football team has no time to reflect.
This weekend Colorado Mesa hosts the No. 1 football team in all of Division II, the CSU-Pueblo Thunderwolves.
While the Mavs have bounced back since an 0-3 start to a 3-5 record, they will face the best redzone team and the best rushing team in the conference when they line up against CSU-Pueblo.
As for the Mavs offense, it may be the first week starter Deke Cisco making his fourth start of the year on Saturday. Jason Haferman, the starter for the past five weeks was not in pads during practice on Tuesday.
Cisco was taking first team reps in practice as Haferman walked around in gym shorts with his left leg wrapped up in athletic bandage.
The game is slated for a 6:00pm kickoff on Saturday at Stocker Stadium.

PICKENS — As the Environmental Protection Agency tries to ease concerns of local residents over PCB contamination in the Twelve Mile River, decades of history leave many feeling that more could be done.
There are vast differences in what EPA has done on New Yorks PCB-contaminated Hudson River in New York and on the Twelve Mile, said Larry Dyck, who lives on the Twelve Mile and is a Pickens Soil and Water Conservation District commissioner.
They are looking at floodplains, theyve taken soil samples and theyre advising people on what they might do if they access those floodplains, Dyck said.
If the PCB levels reach a certain threshold, then they do some kind of remediation, and that hasnt been done along the Twelve Mile.
Craig Zeller, EPA project manager, said the floodplains in the Pickens County area where two dams were removed from the river this year will be tested as the agency assesses the risk of contamination.
Pickens County leaders said they arent convinced that residents are protected from the risk of PCBs re-released into the river by a court-ordered dam removal or that a landfill holding sediment dredged from behind the dams is secure.
Council Chairwoman Jennifer Willis said the county wants a seat at the table when decisions are made regarding the Twelve Mile.
Pickens County Council is concerned the Twelve Mile River may not have been cleaned to the degree necessary to safeguard the environment, or to protect the health of county residents who live near the river or those who live downstream on Lake Hartwell, Willis said.
Seeing high concentrations of PCBs found in two separate studies this year by Pickens County and by Upstate Forever and other conservation groups is what drove the federal agency to take another look at the area where the dams were removed, Zeller said.
At a heated public meeting that filled the auditorium at the Pickens County Administration Building on Thursday night, council members Neil Smith and Sam Wyche told federal and state health officials that they dont trust them to look out for residents.
People who live on the river said they watched heavy equipment take contaminated material from behind the lower dam and haul it along the river bed to build a controversial shoal road. County officials asked why federal and state officials didnt keep a better eye on the work.
Other residents on the river worried about their grandchildren playing on the banks.
Zeller said testing planned in coming months will assess the risk to people and children playing or picnicking on the banks or wading or kayaking in the river. Results of testing should be available this summer, Zeller said.
We still dont have a solution to the PCB issue, Smith said.
Zeller and Steve Scott, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers hydrologist who is doing a study of how sediment will move downstream, said the shoal road already has started to wash downstream.
The shoal road is shrinking, Zeller said. About a third to a half of what was there remains, he said.
Scott said there hasnt been much rain and once theres more flow from storms it will begin to change much more. This last storm has moved material in the road back about 10 feet in places. Sand and gravel is slowly working its way down.

NASA | Why are We Seeing So Many Sungrazing Comets?
- Uploaded by BadAstro on Jul 27, 2013
- Views: 174
Before 1979, there were less than a dozen known sungrazing comets. As of December 2012, we know of 2,500. Why did this number increase? With solar observatories like SOHO, STEREO, and SDO, we have not only better means of viewing the sun, but also the comets that approach it. SOHO allows us to see smaller, fainter comets closer to the sun than we have ever been able to see before. Even though many of these comets do not survive their journey past the sun, they survive long enough to be observed, and be added to our record of sungrazing comets.
