Comments about Skyline Swoop Arm Chair - Ladbroke Peacock:
The actual colors of this chair are not like the picture. It is actually more turquoise and lime-green than dark blue / yellow. I was very disappointed in the actual coloring. The legs screw on and were all different lengths, so the chair wobbles without extra washers (which means the leg sits half inch off the chair base). The legs tip in and it feels like they may snap whenever I sit down. Overall, not a well constructed or presented chair. I would absolutely return it if shipping weren't such a hassle. I would not recommend the chair, particularly if you love the colors in the picture.

This is interesting
For my area we are now required to take a best managment practices (BMP)training for maintenance. They basically go on to say that anyone in maintenance has to take the course. The super needs to have certificate of course training as well as employee's.
Effective date June 1st through Sept. 30th with up to $500 fines for violation.
I'll bet the course is $100 per person and renewed annually. Once I know more I will post more info.
Here's the link http://library.municode.com/HTML/102...USAP_S58-473DE
South Florida
The U of F and the Extension service have been giving the BMP seminar for a few years now. I took it about 3 years ago. So far it is my understanding you do not need to take CEUs to maintain the BMP certification. I think my original cost was like $ 25.00
However each county is making their own set of rules concerning the BMP certification. Many of these counties are taking the Tree Hugger approach to BMP and have made extra rules that are not recommended by the U of F and in fact are very much considered less effective in dealing with and Run Off or leaching.
I am not against Organic products, in fact I believe they have a very viable part to play in agronomy. What I am against is the uneducated Bleed Heart Liberals who think Orgasmic is the ONLY way to go.
it is one thing to do a off label applications. It is total stupidity to post it on the world wide web and expect people to approve.

My People Skills are Fine. It is my Idiot Tolerance Skills That needs Work.
I'm totally with you on that Ric.
well i have to respectully disagree on this one. I come at it from a different angle. In a city for instance an educated person is wrong. "A piece of paper" doesnt count. "Why I have been doing this for years all you need to do is add some urea to that brown spot, watering 6 days a week doesnt matter!"
These are the guys who plant trees in front of lights, put 6 inch stips of grass down a median strip, buy 500 ixoras and plant them in road rock. There are more of them sometimes it seems than us professionals. These are city employees from engineers to inspectors.
Im sure you have seen what state and county contractors get away with.
I read that manual a lot and there is a ton of very great info. Sprinkler, pesticide, fert guidelines etc. I think it is one of the finest 101 training manuals i have seen.
I deal with people that I have to show things to, basic things, that is 101 for the rest of us. Supervisors mind you. I need all the help i can get from these sort of publications.
Basically what i am saying it isnt always bad to have an extra license if it helps show the strength and supports knowledge in an experienced industry.
It is a good way to help weed out the guys who just dont get it. There are LOTS of them.
ric i dont want to confuse the fert stuff, ie leaching etc.(which we all know is crap) with the training aspect of the bmp stuff. We all have to be on board by 2014 we are told here.
I agree with you olive. The more stuff like this, the more Billy bob will think twice about starting a lawn business. Juan and Pablo will be gone too. I like it.

Best Management Practices is part of IPM, Which stands for I Pay Materials. Do you have any Idea how bad the average Fertilizer Purchaser is being ripped off. Any Fool using Scotts Products off the Home Depot Shelf is paying more for the Ink on the bag than the cost of fertilizer.
I have no Problems with reasonable Laws that can be embraced by the public and Enforceable. What I can't buy is Tree Hugger BS laws written by some jerk with no education. We are already seeing these local fertilizer ordinances being violated by both Green Industry people and HOME OWNERS.
BTW I believe there is a valuable place for Organics in our agronomy. I just don't believe Organics ONLY can do the job.
Oops in Edit
I forgot to add. Becareful what you wish for, You just might get it. I am referring to more Green Industry Laws when the present ones can't be enforced.

A new book takes readers inside Monopoly's surprising history.
A new book takes readers inside Monopoly's surprising history.
Monopoly: The World's Most Famous Game & How It Got That Way, by Philip E. Orbanes (DaCapo Press, November, 2006)
A book can be a passport to a subculture we wouldn't otherwise visit. Philip E. Orbanes' Monopoly plays that passport role earnestly—a former Parker Brothers executive, and long-time Monopoly judge (yes, there are Monopoly judges), Orbanes takes the reader deep inside the world of Monopoly fanatics with this ode to the world's most famous board game. He probes the game's history, traces its changes over the years, and profiles characters who spend countless hours bidding on Monopoly trinkets on eBay.
Orbanes is clearly in love with his muse. The upside is that Monopoly is packed full of fascinating details. There's the trivia: over 250 million copies of the game have been sold. Each game contains $15,140 of paper money, and if you add up all those bills that have been printed since 1935, you'd wind up with a sum of well over $3 trillion. Mr. Monopoly used to be called Rich Uncle Pennybags. His wife's name is Madge. Even more esoteric: his three nephews are Randy, Andy and Sandy.
Then there are the more telling historical details. Most people think Monopoly was an overnight success for Parker Brothers, which introduced it in 1935. But the game began 30 years earlier, when a woman named Elizabeth Magie Phillips designed a new way to teach economics. A proponent of a "single tax" on property (rather than on income and consumption), she designed what she called the "Landlord's Game" to instruct people about the justice of her economic scheme. Fans of the game made copies by hand, improving the play as they went. By the time Charles Darrow, generally credited with "inventing" Monopoly, obtained a patent and sold it to Parker Brothers, the game had already been through three decades of beta-testing. Parker Brothers manufactured over 1.8 million Monopoly sets in 1936, and sold them all.
There are also Forrest Gump-like collisions with larger and more important history. British secret intelligence agents used Monopoly games—delivered by the Red Cross—to smuggle maps and tools to British POWs during World War II. Of the 35,000 Allied airmen who escaped from Nazi camps during that time, some proportion no doubt owed their freedom to the game. During the American National Exhibition in Moscow in 1959, several copies of this very capitalist game were put on display for Soviet citizens. There wasn't much else fun to do in Soviet Russia, and all the copies were stolen by the end of the fair.
The drawback of Orbanes' passion is that he sees everything as Monopoly related. Discussions of inflation and post World War II recovery in Europe are all presented through the lens of Monopoly sales. His prose is often much too much. He rightly admires, but badly imitates, a 1972 John McPhee New Yorker story called "In Search of Marvin Gardens." Monopoly, he says, is the story of capitalism, which is the story of America. It "provides a stage to play out our fantasies and dreams, and on this stage we are all gifted." The game and even its tokens are metaphors for life; "Who among us does not identify (often passionately) with the race car, the Scotty, or the top hat – or even the humble thimble?"
Well, plenty of us. Immersed as he is in the Monopoly subculture, Orbanes forgets that many of those 250 million copies have been played once or twice, and then relegated to a shelf in the basement. But the details do keep the story engaging enough to be – like Monopoly itself – a good diversion on a rainy day.

WITP DENMARK, Copenhagen 2010
Expand >
Report abuse
The annual Danish WITP took place as every year at Copenhagen Skatepark, always fun to skate especially with a new street course refreshed every yearshow more thanks to Simon, Keld and the CPH pro. Registration started at 11.30 outside the skatepark under the sun and around 130 skaters signed up for the contest ready to tear up the course. Volcom team riders Rob Maatman, Willow and Louis Taubert were judging the contest and Rune entertained everyone on the mic. The level of skating in all 3 divisions was really high , but the 14 and under category really blew us away with the creativity and the style they had. Ville, Carlos and Emil showed everyone that the Danish skate scene has something for the future and qualified for the European WITP champs. Read it all and see photos on volcomeurope.comshow less

Minnesota gets an F in civil rights history
Martin Luther King, Jr. is the guy who did that thing in the 60's.
The Civil Rights Movement was a big thing that happened, like, a really long time ago. Some people were being mean to other people who had darker skin. At least, that's what New York told us.
Minnesota is one of 35 (!) states that got an F in the Southern Poverty Law Center's new report on the teaching of civil rights history.If that sounds bad, it actually gets worse: Minnesota's also one of 16 states that don't actually require that students learn anything about civil rights.
Only six states got an A or a B in the new study, which found that, in general, the further away from the South you get, the less likely students will be learning about the movement.
If you're already confused, Minnesota, the civil rights movement is the one with Martin Luther King and that lady who rode the bus.
In the preface to the report, former NAACP chairman and history professor Julian Bond writes of when he quizzed one of his college classes on the movement, and found no one knew the first thing.
"None," Bond writes, "could tell me who George Wallace, the segregationist governor of Alabama, was. One thought he was a CBS newsman who had covered the Vietnam War."
Stupid kid. He's got Wallace confused with former CBS anchor Jesse Helms. No, wait, was it Jesse Jackson? Or was Jesse Jackson the guy who played for the Yankees?
States with light green, which covers the Midwest, got D's and F's. (Click to enlarge.)
In any event, Minnesota joins virtually the entire Midwest, West, and Northwest in its lousy grade. The nearest state to here where you might actually learn something about, say, Thurgood Marshall is Illinois, one of three states which got a B grade.
Ahead of Illinois are three states that rarely have anything in common: Florida, New York, and Alabama all got A's.
As if to rub the national embarrassment in our faces, SPLC's report includes a sample question from a recent test given to high school students. The kids were given this passage from the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision in the U.S. Supreme Court:
"To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority ... that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone. ... We conclude that in the field of public education separate but equal has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
The question asked students not to analyze the decision's importance, or name the justice who'd written it. All students had to do get a "complete" on the question was identify that the decision 1) had to do with segregation, and 2) had to do with schools, both of which are quite literally spelled out in the wording itself.
Only 2 percent of them got it right.

Hasan's views are way outside the mainstream of American Muslims. A 2007 poll by the Pew Research Center found that very few of them hold radical beliefs. Eight percent think suicide bombings can sometimes be justified, which means 92 percent do not. Only 5 percent said they had a favorable opinion of al-Qaida.
Does that sound like a lot? Keep in mind that 13 percent of Americans have a favorable view of North Korea. That's right: North Korea.
Some commentators insist that Islam is inherently aggressive, intolerant or bent on taking over the world by force. But contemporary terrorism, which is supposed to prove that, doesn't. As University of Chicago scholar Robert Pape has documented in his research on suicide attackers, most are motivated mainly by non-religious concerns.
Of 41 people who carried out suicide attacks in Lebanon between 1982 and 1986, he noted in his 2005 book "Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism," 30 were affiliated with groups (SET ITAL) opposed (END ITAL) to Islamic fundamentalism, including secular communist, socialist and Baath organizations. Three of the attackers were Christians. What the perpetrators shared was not a religion but an intense resentment of an occupation by foreign powers (the United States, France and Israel).
This motive, Pape says, is characteristic of suicide attackers wherever they emerge, including Iraq and Afghanistan. The terrorists' quarrel with the U.S. is not that it is an infidel society but that it's seen as occupying Muslim countries.
Osama bin Laden has made the point himself. Dismissing President Bush's assertion that "we hate freedom," he once said, "Let him tell us why we did not strike Sweden."
The al-Qaida leader likes nothing better than to portray the United States as waging a crusade against Muslims. We would be doing ourselves no favor to confirm the accusation.

Money for witness protection program running low
WATERBURY -- The state is running out of money earmarked for protecting witnesses who testify in criminal trials, according to a top prosecutor.
But Deputy Chief State's Attorney Leonard Boyle said the shortage of money is not a crisis because the Division of Criminal Justice can transfer money from other parts of the divisions budget to make up the shortfall.
Some, however, are critical of a witness protection system that stops supporting witnesses after they have testified in criminal cases. An attorney for one witness in an upcoming murder trial said Friday that his client was largely left to fend for herself after she was placed in the program and requests for help have been denied.
The division has $220,000 budgeted for witness protection for the 2013 fiscal year, out of a total budget of about $48 million. Those funds are used to pay to keep witnesses in hotel rooms while testifying during court cases, as well as meals and other expenses.
But a "substantial deficit" in that fund was projected for the rest of the year, Boyle reported during a meeting of state's attorneys. The governor's budget also is recommending $20,000 less for the witness protection program during the fiscal 2014 and 2015 years.
"We have seen an increase in the number of people coming into the program," Boyle said Thursday.
Much of that increase may be attributed to the number of witnesses who are directed into the program from a task force that is aiming to reduce gun violence in major cities, he said.
State's attorneys can select people for the witness protection program, but Boyle also has to sign off on those choices. He said he wasn't going to "second guess" a state's attorney who wants to place a witness in the protection program.
But some believe the program isn't doing enough to take care of people who are critical to the prosecution of killers and gang members. Unlike Hollywood portrayals of the program, the witnesses aren't granted protection or given money for the rest of their lives.
Ralph Crozier, a criminal defense attorney, said witnesses have been left to fend for themselves in certain cases.
Crozier currently represents a key witness in the prosecution of a member of the Latin Kings street gang who is charged with slaying a father of three after the man returned to his city home. The woman has already testified against two other members of the gang, and in both cases her testimony has helped win convictions for prosecutors.
Crozier said the woman's life was uprooted more than two years ago after she came forward to authorities. She couldn't work, couldn't talk to her family and had to move into a hotel room while she was waiting to give testimony at trial. She was given $50 per day for meals, money she used to provide food for her four children while the trial progressed.
At the end of the trial, she was transported out of Connecticut with her children to an undisclosed location.
Authorities provided her with the first and last month's rent for an apartment, but they didn't give her a new identity, nor did they provide her with a job, he said. In a matter of three or four months she was evicted and was eventually enrolled in a state food stamp program, he said.
"All they are is uprooted, moved out, left with a modicum of money and left on their own," Crozier said of witnesses. "When she calls them, they tell her there's no money in the budget. Once they've used them, they essentially say you're on your own."
The woman also was left on her own to run "interference" for her children. She needed to get them into school and alert school authorities to her situation, so their files could be specially marked.
Keeping witnesses hidden from killers and gang members is critical to bringing the men to justice. In some cases, those defendants show they can find people when they want to.
One of the men Crozier's client testified against is now serving a life sentence. After he was convicted, he allegedly threatened to kill a witness in the case, in addition to the man's family and his attorney. Court documents show that the convicted killer knew specific addresses for the man and his family.
Moving a witness creates an obstacle for the people who want to harm them, Crozier said, but they are often left alone to figure out how they will protect themselves and their families.
"Over a period of years, she felt she was being trapped," he said of the system.

Now it's official. The U.S. economy slipped 0.3% at an annualized rate in the third quarter. The decline in real gross domestic product was the largest since the end of the last recession in late 2001. The economy grew at a 2.8% pace in the second quarter.
The news wasn't unexpected; in fact, most analysts had predicted a 0.5% drop. Meanwhile, household and personal product marketers are trimming projections, delaying projects and looking for ways to cut costs. Today, L'Oréal trimmed its fourth quarter forecast and Ecolab's chairman told analysts last week that the company was "preparing for the worst and hoping for the best."
Funny thing is, despite all the doom and gloom out there, most marketers have reported good results for the nine months, suppliers tell us that orders have been strong during that time and even industry magazines like Happi are having good years.
Will all these good results be negated between Oct. 1 and Dec. 31? Somehow, I don't think the fourth quarter will be as bad as everyone is projecting. By next Spring, in fact, the global economy could start revving up again, powered by lower commodity costs and a new sense of bullishness on the part of investors and consumers.

Linus Torvalds: His Own Blog
A few days ago Finnish kernel developer and Linux founder Linus Torvalds started his own blog on Blogger.com.
To confirm that the blog really was his, Torvalds said in a NetworkWorld article, "Yes, yes, it's me. A 'fake Linus' would hopefully try to be entertaining."
Those hoping for exciting insights into kernel development may be disappointed for now. The title of the blog is "Linus' Blog: Eventually this might even contain some Torvalds family pictures." So far it includes items of a more personal nature. Linus talks about his life in the U.S. and the presidential elections. He decided to become a blogger after a friend set one up for himself with links to family photos. Because Torvald's blog is open and already appears on Digg.com, he says that he "set it up as a trial... but I'm not sure we'll actually ever post pictures of the kids (privacy etc.)"
He would prefer to blog about topics, in an interview manner, that don't have their normal place on the Kernel and GIT mailing lists. As he says, "it's likely about something tech-related and probably linux-related, since that's what I'd do." Some interesting things have already come out of it. For one thing, he's "impressed" by the solid state disks from Intel, despite their application to competing systems. Numerous comments in response to his blog have already appeared, but Torvalds has no fear of trolling because he posts once a week only and does not respond to the comments.

General Feedback
Bill, thank you for the info you have given me so far. I'm sure excess ca is causing a lot of my extreme pain. But what if there is something I don't know? I've only given you the info I know so far. eg. I have lyme disease - told to me by an energetic healer - I have my reservations about them - other tests are mostly unreliable. BECAUSE I have followed your suggestions, mg citrate, enzymes, chanca piedra, vco, chlorella many of the other remedies you and Ted kindly offer.
Because the organs are all breaking down & I am truly suffering. This is my last chance.

01/13/2012I have neurological lyme disease and nearly died of it. Rife helped me (along with a lot of supplementing) back to life again. I read Bryan Rosner's book Lyme Disease and Rife Machines and I personally used a coil machine made my Alex Levy coilmachines dot com and I stand to benefit nothing from either of these but to offer what I have learned and what has helped me. Thanks! :)

is this normal
Comments (4)
Honestly I would say wait and see how you do through the night. Crampy can be normal during the 1st trimester even though it's scary as hell. Just watch everytime you go to the bathroom and keep an eye on anymore discharge or blood. I would call your doc in the morning and see what he/she says and go from there. ER would honestly be my last resort, but everyone is different and there is nothing wrong if you decide you just have to know right now. Good luck hon! I hope there is nothing wrong and everything is perfect!

Spotting can be normal in your first trimester. Usually doctors aren't worried unless your bleeding heavily. Cramps could be unrelated (gas or something) but It would be best to call your doctor tomorrow and let them know what is going on with you. The most common advice is to drink plenty of whatever, rest as much as possible and abstain from sex for at least a week after you spot blood. GL mama!

Enrique Peñalosa Londoño (born September 30, 1954, Washington, D.C.) is a Colombian politician who was mayor of Bogotá from 1998 until 2001, and was re-elected in 2015 for the 2016–2019 term.[1] He has also worked as a journalist and consultant on urban and transportation policy. In 2009, Peñalosa was elected President of the Board of Directors of the Institute for Transportation and Development Policy (ITDP).[2]
Early life[edit]
In his childhood Peñalosa studied at Gimnasio Campestre . After graduating he then moved to Durham, North Carolina in the United States where he studied Economics and History at Duke University. For his graduate education he moved to Paris, France where he completed a Masters and a Ph.D. in Public Administration from Université Paris II.
Peñalosa began his political life by attending the liberal presidential candidate Luis Carlos Galan's Youth groups of followers in Bogotá while working for the state-owned water supply company, Empresa de Acueducto de Bogotá. He later supported Julio César Sánchez, a Cundinamarca local political chief, who in return, helped him get elected as that department's Deputy.
He later was chosen by president Virgilio Barco, friend of his father, as an economic advisor in 1986. In 1990 he ran for congressman without the support of any politician and got elected with 22,000 votes. He only remained in that position for a year because the Colombian Congress was closed due to corruption and a referendum for a new Colombian Constitution was proposed. However, in those 12 months, he presented many projects and managed to pass with others a reforming law to change congress.
In 1991 he then decided to run for mayor of Bogotá with the same tactics he used to gain his seat for Congress, without the support of any politicians and just by doing face-to-face contact while touring the city walking, biking or riding on public transportation. He ran against Jaime Castro Castro who ultimately won the election. In 1994 he ran for a second time, this time against Antanas Mockus, who defeated him by a large margin.
Mayor of Bogotá[edit]
In 1997 he ran a third time, now facing Carlos Moreno de Caro[3] winning by a close margin of votes.[4] Peñalosa received from Mayor Mockus a city in good fiscal condition and with a District Council that was mostly independent.[4]
Peñalosa included many of his political friends in his cabinet including long time friend Carlos Alberto Sandoval who had worked with him in Barco's presidency and who he appointed as Secretary of Economy, and Gilma Jiménez in the Family Welfare Institute. Enrique's brother Gil Peñalosa became Commissioner of Parks.
During his mayorship he developed five megaprojects: the bank of lands, the District's system of Parks (including the Bogotá's Bike Paths Network), the District's system of libraries, the Transmilenio mass transit system, and road construction and maintenance.[5] The impact of Peñalosa and Antanas Mockus on the development of Bogotá is described in a documentary film released in October 2009 with the title Bogotá Change.[6] It is promoted as being "the story of two charismatic mayors, Antanas Mockus and Enrique Peñalosa who, with unorthodox methods, in less than 10 years turned one of the world's most dangerous, violent and corrupt capitals into a peaceful model city populated by caring citizens. With Mockus and Peñalosa and key members of their staff as first hand witnesses, the film uncovers the ideas, philosophies and strategies that underlie the changes in Bogotá and which are now being exported to cities worldwide."
Controversy during his first term[edit]
Peñalosa was the third in a series of three mayors who vastly changed the face of the city. Mayor Jaime Castro finished his term with low popularity, but was able to reform the city's financial structures. This led to a period of budgetary surpluses, which continued during Antanas Mockus term. Mockus began an important change in Bogotá's civic culture with his Cultura Ciudadana (Citizen Culture) campaign, which encouraged civic behavior and strived to create a sense of belonging for the inhabitants of the city.
Peñalosa's five biggest changes during his period were: the relocation of informal vendors who occupied the public zones and streets, the improvement of all the city parks and the construction of several new ones, the entire renovation of some of the most important avenues of the city such as the Avenue 15 and the Autopista Norte, the removal of cars from sidewalks by raising them and installing bollards, and starting construction on the TransMilenio (Mass Transit System), but during his term less than half of the project was built, the second phase was the responsibility of Luis Eduardo Garzon, his successor, and the third phase is at risk of not being completed because of the new mayor's plans of constructing a Metro system.
Some of his policies were unpopular with certain sectors of the city. Among these were his intent to buy the Country Club of Bogotá to build a public park. He also faced problems when he built bollards along some avenues in highly congested sectors to prevent cars from parking on the sidewalk in front of the buildings and shops. Peñalosa also lost popularity, but improved the city's mobility, by introducing the Pico y Placa, a restriction on the rush hour circulation of private vehicles. (Pico y placa roughly translates to "rush hour and license plate"; during rush hour licence plates ending with a given number couldn't circulate on a specific days of the week, four ending numbers each day, thus about 40% of the vehicles). The construction of the city "Cicloruta" (Translation for "Bike route or Bike way") which are little roads that run along some of the city's main avenues, was another great development of the city as an invitation for people to avoid using his/her private vehicle, and to provide a cheap and healthy transportation route for those who didn't have access to one; but the terrains for the construction of some sections, specially those in front of domestic houses, were in the majority of the cases taken from people without their consent and with no remuneration. The properties legal document wasn't edited either, which means in legal terms that those people still have that part of terrain, and pay taxes on it.
Candidate for a second term as Mayor[edit]
Although he was a possible candidate for the 2010 Colombian presidential election and lead the Por el Pais que Queremos Foundation (PPQ), Spanish for "For the Country we Want", he decided to go for a second term in the city hall. He was defeated by Alternative Democratic Pole candidate Samuel Moreno by 15 percentage points.[7]
In 2011, Peñalosa decided to run his candidacy again for the Bogotá city hall, but this time, as the official candidate for the Colombian Green Party.[8] He lost the election to Gustavo Petro who won the mayoral race with 32% of the vote against 25% for Peñalosa.[9]
In 2015 he won the mayoral elections with 33% of the votes, defeating former labour minister Rafael Pardo.[1]
Presidential candidate[edit]
Peñalosa ran for elections in the 2014 presidential election. He represented the Green Party and his Vice Presidential candidate was Isabel Segovia a former Vice Minister of Education.

"Children are a kind of indicator species. If we can build a successful city for children, we will have a successful city for all people."[11]
"If you base progress on per capita income, then the developing world will not catch up with rich countries for the next three or four hundred years"[12]
"We need to walk, just as birds need to fly. We need to be around other people. We need beauty. We need contact with nature. And most of all, we need not to be excluded. We need to feel some sort of equality."[13]
"All this (Bogotá's) pedestrian infrastructure shows respect for human dignity. We're telling people, 'You are important'."[citation needed]
"Every Sunday we close 120 kilometers of roads to motor vehicles for seven hours. A million and a half people of all ages and incomes come out to ride bicycles, jog, and simply gather with others in community."[citation needed]
"A bikeway is a symbol that shows that a citizen on a $30 bicycle is equally important as a citizen on a $30,000 car."[14]
"If we're going to talk about transport, I would say that the great city is not the one that has highways, but one where a child on a tricycle or bicycle can go safely everywhere." [15]
"We cannot continue to deceive ourselves thinking that to paint a little line on a road is a bike way. A bicycle way that is not safe for an 8-year old is not a bicycle way."
"One symbol of lack of democracy is to have cars parked on the sidewalk".[16]
"An advanced city is not a place where the poor move about in cars, rather it's where even the rich use public transportation" [17]
"We're living an experiment. We might not be able to fix the economy. We might not be able to make everyone as rich as Americans. But we can design the city to give people dignity, to make them feel rich. The city can make them happier."[18]

Sotomayor Will Be Court's First Hispanic, Third Woman
NPR has confirmed that President Obama will nominate Sonia Sotomayor, a judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, to replace retiring U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter. If confirmed, she will be the first Hispanic justice on the court as well as the third woman, following Sandra Day O'Connor (1981-2006) and Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1993-present).
The announcement will come at 10:15 a.m. ET in the East Room at the White House.
She was originally named to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in 1992 by the first President Bush. President Clinton named her to the appeals court in 1998.
This will be the first Supreme Court nomination by a Democratic president in 15 years, when Clinton chose Stephen Breyer in 1994.
Ideologically, the nomination should not alter the makeup of the court, as Souter, though appointed by the first President Bush, is a fairly reliably liberal vote.

Genes in the DDX gene family provide instructions for making enzymes that function as helicases. Helicases attach (bind) to DNA or its chemical cousin, RNA, and temporarily unwind the two spiral strands (double helix) of these molecules. While a few DDX helicases associate with DNA, these proteins primarily bind to RNA molecules.
Helicases in the DDX family contain a specific sequence of protein building blocks (amino acids) in one region of the protein. Using the one-letter abbreviations for the sequence of asparagine (D), glutamic acid (E), alanine (A), and asparagine (D), this sequence is known as a "DEAD" box.
DDX helicases are normally in an "open" position and not bound to RNA or DNA. With the aid of the DEAD box, a DDX helicase attaches to a molecule called ATP, causing the helicase to close around the RNA or DNA molecule and prompting it to unwind. Once the unwinding is complete, the DDX helicase releases both molecules and opens again.
DDX helicases often have other functions in addition to unwinding RNA or DNA. They usually function as part of larger groups of proteins that work together (complexes). These complexes aid in proper RNA folding, assembly or disassembly of RNA complexes, properly piecing together RNA, and breaking down RNA that is no longer needed. DDX helicases may also play a role in repairing mistakes in DNA and ensuring normal copying of DNA (DNA replication).
Mutations in one DDX gene, DDX11, have been found to cause a very rare condition called Warsaw breakage syndrome. These mutations lead to problems with cell division and an accumulation of DNA damage. People with this condition have multiple abnormalities, which may include impaired growth, distinctive facial features, hearing loss, and heart malformations, although it is unclear how DDX11 gene mutations lead to these features.
The HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee (HGNC) provides an index of gene families (http://www.genenames.org/cgi-bin/genefamilies/) and their member genes.
Genetics Home Reference summarizes the normal function and health implications of this member of the DDX gene family: DDX11.
Genetics Home Reference includes these conditions related to genes in the DDX gene family:
You may find the following resources about the DDX gene family helpful.
acids ; alanine ; asparagine ; ATP ; cell ; cell division ; DNA ; DNA damage ; DNA replication ; double helix ; gene ; glutamic acid ; helicase ; molecule ; protein ; RNA ; syndrome
You may find definitions for these and many other terms in the Genetics Home Reference Glossary.
These sources were used to develop the Genetics Home Reference summary for the DDX gene family.

Users seeking information about a personal genetic disease, syndrome, or condition should consult with a qualified healthcare professional. See How can I find a genetics professional in my area?

Median pay for Meeting & Convention Services Managers in the United States lies in the neighborhood of $46K annually. Compensation for this group is mainly affected by location, but years of experience and the particular employer are influential factors as well. Most Meeting & Convention Services Managers report high levels of job satisfaction. Female Meeting & Convention Services Managers far outnumber their male contemporaries among survey respondents. Medical and dental coverage is claimed by a strong majority, and the greater part earn vision coverage. This report is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Meeting/convention services managers are in charge of ensuring that attendees have an exceptional experience during meetings and conventions. They are responsible for communicating with planners regarding specific details and arrangements, as well as checking function books to make sure proper space and time has been allocated and arranged. These managers also conduct site inspections to check accommodations, meet with clients to cultivate business relationships, and recommend external services depending on the requirements for the event. They conduct meetings with clients prior to the event to finalize details and with meeting planners after the event to review bill terms and evaluate service.Read More...
Meeting/convention services managers create contracts detailing meeting arrangements, and they must be present during the conventions to assist with specific requests and ensure proper service related to staff and equipment. The managers supervise event preparation tasks and change items in the venue as needed, as well as interact with vendors, guests, co-workers, and other management personnel. They must use their working knowledge of diverse food, decoration, and entertainment equipment services in planning, as well as mathematical skills to calculate commissions and estimates.
A bachelor's degree in event planning or a related field is necessary. Experience in a managing capacity and/or meeting planning may be preferred. Meeting/convention services managers must be highly organized individuals that pay strong attention to detail. They should be results oriented, independent professionals with advanced leadership skills to manage a group of employees to reach all company goals. They also must possess exceptional communication skills to establish effective relationships with clients.
Hilton Worldwide is infamous for dishing out the smallest paychecks in the area (the median in that office is $46K), but the company pay scale is greatly mixed, meaning that workers on the low end may earn only $38K while workers on the upper end may rake in $113K.
Meeting & Convention Services Managers only report a few specific skills. Most notably, skills in Event Planning, Event Management, Customer Service, and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) are correlated to pay that is above average. Skills that pay less than market rate include Customer Relationship Management and Customer Service. Competency in Event Management frequently indicates knowledge of Event Planning.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Meeting & Convention Services Managers with more experience do not necessarily bring home bigger paychecks. In fact, experience in this field tends to impact compensation minimally. Relatively untried employees who have fewer than five years of experience earn around $42K on average. People who have worked for five to 10 years can expect a higher median salary of $48K. People with 10 to 20 years of experience make an average of about $53K in this role. Veterans who have worked for more than two decades do tend to make the most in the end; the median pay for this group is $61K.

Additional Location Information
Most Roman people consider this area the place where they would like to live. The location, central and safe but not touristy, next to Villa Borghese and Via Veneto (known for Federico Fellini' s movie 'La Dolce Vita'), is one of the best in Rome, a prestigious area of liberty villas and parks, at walking distance from historic center and very well connected to all the main sights. So, coming here, you have the chance to reach every interesting place of Rome in a short time, while enjoying a special place, apart from the mess of overcrowded areas.
Although Roma'traffic is chaotic, it is a real hidden island of peace, the ideal place to welcome you after a day spent wandering around the city or in and out of the shops, just round the corner, everything you could possibly need is within walking distance: supermarkets, excellent restaurants and nice pizzerias, wine bars, markets and shopping centers, cafés, banks with ATM, pharmacies, kiosks, laundries, hospital, churches.
Termini railway station (terminal of trains and shuttles from Rome airports) and Tiburtina railway station are very close and well connected by bus/metro (just 10 min. by taxi).
Thanks to the position and the prestige of the area, most Embassies and Consulates are located in the neighbourhood.
Many bus lines stops are just round the corner, metro station ('Policlinico') is 15 min on foot.
Since there are so many sites to visit in Rome, it's impossible to stay close to all of them. The key is in having good connections that allow you to reach every place seamless.
And from over here you find lines to reach the Pantheon and the Trevi fountain in 15 minutes, a little bit more for Coliseum or Vatican or Eataly or Trastevere, the Appian way by metro, the same for trains to Ostia antica, …
You find in the surroundings the parks that make Rome so enchanting as well as relevant historical and art sites:
VILLA BORGHESE, the most beautiful public park in Rome. It features a lake, temples, fountains, statues and several museums. The BORGHESE GALLERY, housed in the wonderful Villa Borghese, contains an unmissable collection of sculptures and pictures from masters like Bernini, Canova, Titian, Rubens, Raphael.
VILLA TORLONIA, the state residence of Mussolini since 1920s. The beautiful neoclassical villa is surrounded by the most renowned "English landscape" garden in Italy.
The splendid COMPLEX of S. AGNES BASILICA and SANTA COSTANZA MAUSOLEUM, erected by the Emperor Constantine's daughter. It includes the CATACOMBS and is a unique example of early Christian complex of buildings.
The CATACOMB OF PRISCILLA, known as the "Queen of the Catacombs" in antiquity on account of the fact that seven early popes and many martyrs were buried there.
The MACRO - Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, located in a former factory, exhibits works of Italian artists from the 1960s to these days.
The extraordinary QUARTIERE COPPEDE', a rather unknown attraction of Rome, just a few steps away. It is a group of Art-Nouveau buildings renowned for their architecture featuring floral, mythological and medieval effects, a fanciful style mixing Liberty and Gothic characters so that the Coppedé quarter feels like a setting straight out of a fantasy world.
VILLA ADA, one of the Rome's largest public park, was the former residence and hunting reserve of the Italian royal family.

Vt. hikers rescued from NH mountainOctober 09,2013Vt. hikers rescued
from NH mountain
GORHAM, N.H. Two Vermont hikers are safe after being rescued from a New Hampshire mountain after a storm.
The couple were on the summit of Mount Madison in the White Mountains on Monday afternoon when a severe storm soaked them and their gear.
Then a dense fog made it nearly impossible to see the trail. With temperatures dropping, they called 911 for help at about 7 p.m.
Rescuers hiked about four miles up the trail and found them shortly after 1 a.m.
Twenty-eight-year-old Raymond Barnard and 27-year-old Stephanie Watkins of Brownsville, Vt., were cold and wet but able to put on dry clothing and follow rescuers down.
The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department said the pair had used sleeping bags and tent rain fly to protect themselves, which probably saved their lives.MORE IN This Just InPROCTOR A citizen committee has finalized a survey to poll residents on a new town office...

Like mayors in many other cities, Mayor Reed of Atlanta was confronted with hundreds of protestors who took to the city's most prominent downtown park and made it their home, to live, eat and protest against all types of groups and for all kinds of causes.
For weeks, Reed -- an African-American former state legislator and attorney -- quietly let the protesters "do their thing" with minimal police involvement. Reed finally issued an executive order to clear the park for many of the same reasons other mayors in America took similar actions. But not wanting to take way Atlanta's longtime reputation as "the city too busy to hate," he chose to allow the protesters extended time in the park named after the late Robert Woodruff, the deceased Coca-Cola boss who guided the city successfully through integration in the turbulent 1960s.
Learning of an unlicensed music "festival" that was to occur at the same time and place as the "Occupy Atlanta" protesters, Reed recently took action. He recognized that the mixture of the two groups might not only be a hazard, it might be the spark needed to start true violence in downtown Atlanta.
I can tell you that even the alleged "liberal media" in Atlanta, for the most part, had their fill of the protesters. Their demeanor had become surly, their message muddled, and their endless desire for publicity overwhelming. A few long-in-the-tooth low-level "civil rights" leaders criticized Reed when he ordered police to peacefully clear the park of the protesters. One, who shall go nameless, is known for having taken big- time money to turn the black vote out for a GOP gubernatorial nominee in the 1990s. He reproached Reed as being, in essence, a sell-out to the business community in the South's largest city. What a joke!
But now we know, scientifically, that the calm but measured approach taken by Reed turned out to be popular with the people of Atlanta. An InsiderAdvantage poll conducted for the city's biggest television station revealed that an overwhelming 69 percent of registered voters in Atlanta said they approved of the action taken by their mayor. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 5 percent.

We get donated cages that need cleaning. They often have layers of dried droppings and urine stuck on them...not something I want my bare hands on. Latex gloves keep your hands and wrists clean and dry. I only wish they had smaller sizes.
Pros: don't tear
Cons: limited sizes

program and connect to those Pry instances over a network or the Internet.
Once connected you can interact with the internal state of the program.
It's based off of Mon-Ouie's pry-remote for DRb.
It adds user authentication and SSL support along with tab-completion and
paging. It's compatble with MRI 1.9, or any other VM with support for Fibers
and EventMachine.
