Realistic Folds in a Map
I had a lot of trouble trying to make a realistic fold in a map. I think I got it reasonably right in the end after a lot of mistakes. So here is a tut on what I learned. Most of you will already know how to do this but for some others it may be of help. The same procedure works in Photoshop. I present this tut for Gimpers as I am more familiar with Gimp.
A fold in a map has a depression or ridge in the paper and casts a shadow on the map. It also distorts the print as the paper follows the bends of the fold.. Lastly, it lifts the paper unequally from the underlying surface.This unequal lift causes a varying shadow.
Basically the process is to use a displacement filter to create the distortion. This is acoomplished with a displacement map. (note that the word map here means a layer) . The displacement map must be the same size as the layer that is to be distorted . The displacement map must be a grayscale map.
(Gimp Help 12.3 Displace has an excellent explanation on how the filter works) Note that a b/w rgb map works and also a colored map works but the effects become unreliable.So it is a good idea to use a grayscale map
To help give realism I use the same grayscale displacement map as a layer in Multiply mode to show the bends in the paper of the Atlas map.
Using the paths tool I trace a small section on the edge of the map to be culled. Lastly, a small dropshadow is applied to show a varying lift from the underlying surface.
Here is the map, I want to fold , spread out and lay flat on a table. (1080x830 -1000x750 atlas content and 40 px margins all round) I have deliberately made the map margin not white and have accentuated the colours to show the effect of the displacement filter.
The displacement filter does just that, it displaces the pixels so your nice 40pixel margin no longer exists after displacement. Even a 3 pixel displacement in the margin is quite noticeable. To overcome this I extend the 40pixel margins by 10 pixels if I want a displacement of 5 pixels. The new atlas map is now 1100x850 -1000x750 atlas content and 50 px margins all round.
This is the fold map I scanned from an A4 piece of paper.The lower left fold was almost invisible so I duplicated the layer twice in multiply mode. To give definition to the lower left fold. The other folds were then too dark , so I toned these down with the dodge and burn tool to make it all roughly the same darkness. Also I simply resized the image to 1100x850
I applied the displacement map with a factor of 4 to displace the atlas image and applied the same displacement map overlay in mutiply mode. You will see that the displacement agrees with the shading of the multiply mode overlay. Also note that the 50 px margin is now 46px . I can now cut a nice map with 40px margin again to represent my original map.(1080x830)
The last step is to cut a very narrow edge to show lift of paper at the folds. I do this by placing my map on the marble table giving a 100 px marble edge. And selecting a rectangle on the map , selecting the inverse and erasing the edge to show a small variation in the edge of the atlas map. About 3to 4 px is plenty. The edge of the map is now jagged . Alternatively use the paths tool, create a selection from the path and Ctl X to cut away the jaggies. A small blur Gaussian 2-3 to take the edge of the hard pixels. The blur is only applied to the narrow band where the jagged edge was created
Create a new layer underneath the jagged map layer (about 3-4 pixels smaller than the jagged edge perimeter and apply a drop shadow (no offset) to just show the edge of the atlas map . I made this layer black to show where it goes , but it can be any colour or picture !The effect will be that it appears that the paper is raised around folds and is slightly above the bottom surface in some places. I had to duplicate the drop shadow to show a good effect
I tried to show a finished map, but after trying for some time I saw that I can only use 5 attachments per post. You can see the effects in the last picture where the drop shadow shows the different height of paper to tabletop at folds and crinkles.
Hope this of help to someone.

Baltimore County News
Erin Wisnieski, Natural Resource Specialist
Baltimore County Department of Environmental Protection and Sustainability
It's the eternal suburban dilemma — how to have a nice lawn but not damage the environment. I think that a lot of people assume that they need to apply chemical fertilizers to their lawn, but that's not necessarily so.
Lawn Fertilizer and the Chesapeake Bay
If not properly applied, lawn fertilizer can wash off lawns when it rains. Once this polluted runoff enters the storm drain system through a street or yard inlet, it flows quickly to the local stream and down to the bay.
The Problem
Nitrogen and phosphorus are the primary nutrients in lawn fertilizer and are essential for plant growth, but too much of a good thing makes the bay sick … and, in part, dead. Excess nutrients create the bay's "dead zone."
In response to high nutrient levels in the water, algae growth takes off. Masses of slimy algae coat beneficial aquatic plants (SAVs), blocking the sunlight and inhibiting SAV growth. As an algal bloom dies and decays, oxygen is robbed from the water, depleting the amount of dissolved oxygen available to fish, crabs, clams and oysters. At times, large fish kills result as fish suffocate.
According to the Chesapeake Bay Commission, 14% of the nitrogen and 8% of the phosphorus entering the bay comes from urban and suburban lawns. To help address strict new water quality standards for the bay, Maryland passed the Fertilizer Use Act of 2011, which restricts use of lawn fertilizer by homeowners and commercial applicators. The law changes the nutrient composition of lawn fertilizers and provides for enforcement, labeling, and education.
You Can Help
Either "just say no" to fertilizing or strictly limit the addition of fertilizer and other chemicals on your lawn — it will be safer for you, your kids, pets, and the bay. Leave grass clippings on your lawn to recycle the nutrients back to the lawn (a.k.a. grasscycling). Start a compost pile. Topdressing with compost will increase the health of your lawn without using chemicals. Keep your neighborhood storm drains free of grass clippings, leaves, dirt, and trash.
Planting native trees to expand a forested area or converting some of your turf grass to native plant beds helps, too. Once the bed is established, little maintenance is needed. The natural space created will be appealing to the eye, helps protect water quality, and provides food and shelter to native hummingbirds and butterflies.
If you apply fertilizer to your lawn, please carefully read the label for instructions. If you hire someone to do lawn care, find out if they fertilize, what they use and how the spread rate is determined. If fertilizer gets on sidewalks, driveways or other hard surfaces, sweep it back on the grass.

Serena Williams + Sascha Bajin's Twitter lovefest
Now that Serena Williams is supposedly off-again with rapper Common (though this pic may say otherwise) she's a single lady with an empty ring finger. Uh, not so fast.
She has one of the closest baller-hitting partner relationships that I know of in the tennis world with Sascha Bajin, or Big Sascha in Twitterverse speak. He's always in her baller box rooting her onto another major title, they hang out off-court tons and the pair share playful banter for everyone to see online. And today was no exception.
Apparently Big Sascha offered up a nice piece of ring bling for the top lady baller and she couldn't have been more thankful:
Nice words for a friend. And just for the record, here's a photo of the ring in question...
Cute, no? Anyway, Big Sascha was quick to respond to Kandse's effusive tweets upping the 13-time Grand Slammer with his own saccharine-laced musings:
"I was born to make you happy"? "I will be there for you"? I mean, just throw something sparkly on Kandse's other ring finger and call it a day. I kid. Clearly they have a strong professional relationship and solid friendship.
But it seems like one of those horrific Meg Ryan/Jennifer Aniston rom-com movies you've been forced to sit through (fine, I've watched some by choice and hated myself through every minute of it) where the two players spend every waking moment together but date other people and then finally realize "The One" has been in their face the whole time. Awww, and CUT.
Also, check out Big Sascha's Twitter page background. It's a photo from Kandse's U.S. Open win in 2008. You see? Even the flag boy looks a bit confused by their interaction. I'd believe his reaction because he saw it all live and in the flesh.
Listen, I'm not trying to start rumors - pinky swear - but she's available (again, SUPPOSEDLY) and I haven't seen him tweet anything about a girlfriend. So just get on with it already. You'd make us all (read: just me) very happy. And isn't that what love is all about?

I'm sure there's some lost-in-translation issues there with Sascha. There has to be, right? lol. And have you officially ditched ReRe for Kandse?ReplyDelete
I can neither confirm nor deny your statement. I'm just presenting the facts as they were tweeted to me (and the almost 2 million or so combined followers.) And, yes, she's now Kandse to me. 4EVR and always. Until she pulls a new one that is.ReplyDelete

Under the War Powers Resolution, Obama notified Congress that the personnel will
support the operation of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft for
missions over northern Nigeria and the surrounding area. The force will remain in Chad
until its support in resolving the kidnapping situation is no longer required.
The letter from the President to the Speaker of the House can be read here.
Early this month, several hundred girls were kidnapped by the Islamist group Boko
Haram. Iran has also offered to help secure the release of the girls being held captive.

BETHANY - Bethany College President Dr. Scott D. Miller announced Friday that long-time assistant coach and offensive coordinator Bill Garvey has been promoted to head football coach, effective immediately. Garvey is the 36th head football coach in program history.
He will replace veteran coach Tim Weaver, who has stepped down to pursue an opportunity at an NCAA Division-I university. An announcement about Weaver's future is expected within a week. Weaver departs after seven seasons at the helm of the Bison and has served as Director of Athletics and Recreation the past five years.
Dr. Miller also announced that director of sports information Brian Rose will serve as the acting director of athletics and recreation. Rose graduated from Bethany in 1998 and is in his 15th year in sports information, with over 13 of those serving at his alma mater.
Article Photos
Bill Garvey
''While we are sad to see Tim leave, we are deeply appreciative of the many contributions he has made to the overall athletic department during his time here,'' Miller said. ''The program has grown to 22 intercollegiate sports and an equestrian club team and we have raised the competitive level of the overall program.
''Likewise, he has played an instrumental role in raising funds for extensive facility construction, upgrade and expansion.''
That expansion includes construction of new locker rooms, weight and fitness facilities, artificial turf and all-weather track and stadium lighting.
Garvey has served as the offensive coordinator of the Bison for the last seven years and is the architect of some of the most prolific offensive seasons in school history. During his tenure, 47 school records have been broken or tied, including 16 this past fall. One of Garvey's greatest strengths is his ability to adapt his system to the players in the program. In 2008, the Bison set a new single-season record for passing yards, but then shifted gears in 2010 and the team rushed for 2,024 yards, second-most in one year at the school.
''We are elated to have Bill Garvey with his track record of success as the next head football coach at Bethany College,'' Dr. Miller said. ''Not only has the offense here flourished under his direction, as evidenced by the nearly 50 school records that have been set during his tenure, but he will also provide continuity with the current players and potential recruits. We were extremely pleased with the direction of the program under Coach Weaver and believe Bill Garvey is the perfect fit to continue to build upon that foundation.''
In addition to being the offensive coordinator, Garvey also oversees the quarterbacks. His work with rising senior QB Matt Grimard has seen a rewriting of the Bethany record books. Grimard rushed for 882 yards and 11 touchdowns in 2010, both BC records for a quarterback.
This past fall, Grimard's development continued under Garvey's tutelage, as he set Bethany single-season records for passing completions (226), yards (2,605), completion percentage (62.1) and touchdown passes (23), as well as setting a new total yards record (3,127) for the second consecutive season.
Garvey came to Bethany after spending two seasons as an assistant at Stonehill (Mass.) College, an NCAA Division II program that plays in the Northeast-10 Conference. Prior to his time at Stonehill, Garvey was an assistant at Harvard University from 2000-2004. He started his coaching career at Hofstra University in New York, working as a graduate assistant from 1997-99.
Garvey, who lives in Bethany with his wife, Gina, and their four children, attended Iona College in New Rochelle, N.Y., where he was a three-year member of the football team and was on the 1993 squad that captured the MAAC championship. He went on to earn his Bachelor of Business Administration in Management Information Systems.
''I am honored to be appointed to this position,'' Garvey said. ''I have enjoyed my time as an assistant here and welcome the challenge of continuing the growth and prosperity of this historic program. I want to thank Dr. Miller and the entire administration for the confidence they have shown in me and for the opportunity to lead this program at an exciting time in Bethany history.
''I also thank Coach Weaver for his leadership and building the program to where it is so I can hit the ground running.''

Long Beach, CA (Sports Network) - Keala King scored 22 points to help spark a
second-half comeback for the Long Beach State 49ers, as they defeated the UC
Davis Aggies, 71-65, in Big West Conference action at Walter Pyramid.
Tony Freeland netted 18 points for LBSU (17-9, 13-2 Big West), while James
Ennis chipped in 15 points. Dan Jennings hauled in 11 rebounds for the 49ers,
who have won 26 straight home games against conference opponents.
For UCD (11-14, 7-7), Corey Hawkins scored 21 points on 4-of-8 from 3-point
range, J.T. Adenrele tallied a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds
and Ryan Howley had 10 points. The Aggies had been winners of back-to-back
games prior to this contest.
UCD shot a solid 45.8 percent from the field in the first half, including 8-
of-15 from beyond the arc, as it took a 33-24 lead at the break. LBSU shot
only 10-of-27 (.370) from the floor in the opening 20 minutes.
The 49ers found their stroke after intermission, making greater than 61
percent of their field goal attempts. LBSU gradually climbed its way back into
the game and eventually took a 59-57 lead on a Freeland layup with 3:45
remaining, and it would sustain that advantage for the rest of the game.
LBSU's stellar field goal shooting night (.491) allowed it to overcome a poor
14-of-26 showing from the foul line.

With the latest update to Acrobat to 10.1.3 a problem arose with viewing attached PDFs. It was observed widely by users of browsers such as Firefox. I'm seeing an identical problem in Zimbra Desktop.
The Download link actually works for me but this doesn't help when I want to preview an attachment that I have attached to a message I am composing prior to hitting the Send button.
The fix in the Firefox browser is to run in 32-bit mode (via Finder -> Applications -> right-click Firefox -> Get Info -> check Open in 32-bit mode). This fixed the issure for me in the Zimbra web client.
Is there a similar fix for Zimbra Desktop?

Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Jordan Hamilton had 17 points off the bench
to lead six Denver scorers in double figures and the Nuggets defeated the
Chicago Bulls 97-87 on Thursday.
J.J. Hickson scored 14 with nine rebounds, Kenneth Faried netted 12 points
with 11 boards and Randy Foye and Ty Lawson finished with 12 and 10 points,
respectively, for Denver, which hasn't lost to Chicago at home since Feb. 8,
Derrick Rose led Chicago, which snapped a five-game winning streak, with 19
points and four assists in 33 minutes and Carlos Boozer and Mike Dunleavy
both chipped in with 15 points.
"His confidence is growing, he's playing better and better," Chicago head
coach Tom Thibodeau said of Rose. "Our team has to play better."
Nate Robinson, who scored 11 points against his former team, opened the fourth
quarter with two straight 3-pointers in a 1:04 span. As Chicago took a timeout
to thwart the run, Thibodeau was whistled for a technical foul. Robinson hit
the free throw and Hamilton followed with consecutive triples to cap Denver's
13-0 run that gave the Nuggets an 83-62 advantage with 9:40 left in the game.
Later, with the Nuggets holding an 87-67 lead, Chicago went on a 16-7 run with
Rose on the bench to pull within 11. It was too little, too late as Robinson
hit a step back jumper with 2:23 left to close out the Bulls.
"He's a spark plug, man," Lawson said of Robinson. "Nate is never down and
out, so if he misses through three quarters, he's going to come through in the
fourth quarter. That's what he did for us."
Rose opened the second half speeding passed defenders to finish a finger roll
at the rim which tied the game, 50-50. After a Hickson jumper and a Joakim
Noah free throw, Foye made two straight treys to stretch Denver's lead to
seven, 58-51, and the Nuggets never looked back.
The first half was a seesaw affair as it saw 11 ties and three lead changes.
Chicago led 25-24 after one quarter, but was outscored 26-23 in the second to
trail by two heading into the break.
Chicago's Taj Gibson was ejected after receiving his second technical foul
late in the fourth quarter ... Noah finished with a double-double, scoring 11
points with 12 rebounds ... Boozer also had 10 rebounds ... Chicago
outrebounded Denver 58-48 ... Denver's bench outscored Chicago's bench 49-21
... Chicago will continue its three-game road swing with a matchup against
Portland on Friday ... Denver will open a home-and-home set with Dallas on
Saturday at Pepsi Center.

Inline skates have come a long way since their initial mass-market introduction in the 1980s. General fitness skates are more sophisticated, with larger wheels and soft boots that both breathe and support your foot; meanwhile, specialized niches like speed skating, aggressive (stunt) skating and inline hockey skates have exploded.
If you tried inline skating in the past and gave up on it, you'll be pleased to learn that the skates are more comfortable now and easier to control. Soft and semi-soft boots with a combination of laces, straps and buckles have replaced the formerly ubiquitous hard-plastic shell and its buckle closures, offering a more comfortable mix of support and flexibility. Some high-end skates also come with heat-moldable liners for a custom fit.
Inline skates come in four primary genres: recreational fitness skates, with large wheels and relatively high-cut, supportive boots; speed skates, with low-cut boots and even bigger wheels for the ultimate in speed; hockey skates, with maneuverable mid-size wheels and protective boots that can stand up to direct hits from a flying puck; and aggressive stunt skates, which can be used for many of the same grinds, slides, leaps and other tricks that you'll see being done in any skate park.
Although each type of inline skate has specific priorities to fit its intended use, we still find ourselves looking for similar qualities in the best-reviewed models: a stable, supportive and comfortable boot, with secure and easy-to-manipulate closures; maneuverable, response handling; and reasonably durable wheels on speedy bearings.
The two exceptions are kids' skates and budget skates, usually the province of beginners, which have slightly slower bearings that help you keep the skates under control as you're learning. The best children's skates also have adjustable boots designed to grow with your child, prolonging the useful life of the skates.
Inline skate wheels are sized by their diameter in millimeters. Large wheels are faster, but small wheels are more maneuverable; some manufacturers aim to capture the best of both worlds with a hi-lo setup, which positions smaller wheels in the first two slots for increased maneuverability, and larger wheels in the last two positions for better speed.
Sometimes you'll see a second figure, followed by an "a," used to describe skating wheels. That number represents the skate's durometer, or hardness. The higher the number, the harder the wheels. Harder wheels are more durable, better able to stand up to the constant friction of skating on rough, outdoor surfaces or doing tricks.
Softer wheels are "grippier" and less likely to slide during fast changes of direction on smooth surfaces, making them a favorite of inline hockey players on smooth indoor rinks. The downside is that soft wheels wear out faster, especially if you take them outdoors onto rough surfaces.
General-purpose fitness and children's skates still come with the ubiquitous heel-stopper brake at the back of one boot. To brake with the heel stopper you "scissor" your legs, braking foot forward, and crouch back a bit to press the brake pad against the pavement; the resulting friction slows you down.
Most other skate types, however, are now completely brakeless. That keeps the brake from getting in the way as you race for speed or execute tight, fast hockey or stunt maneuvers -- but it also means you'll have to master different types of braking. For the most comprehensive roundup of inline-skate braking techniques, see the SkateFAQ website.
ConsumerSearch editors have examined customer reviews, forum posts and their own experiences and expertise with inline skates to pick the best inline skates in several categories and for every budget.
Although they still retain the easy-to-use heel brake and boots high enough to provide good ankle support, the wheels on fitness and cross-training inline skates are getting ever-larger. Speedy 90 mm wheels are quite common now, and a few models sport 100 mm wheels that position them as good long-distance skates for speed skaters in training.
Those larger wheels are thanks, perhaps, to improvements in design that make them easy to turn and control at speed. Large wheels also help you roll more smoothly over obstacles like sticks, gravel and cracks in pavement, and they better absorb shock when skating across uneven surfaces like bridges.
Meanwhile, those fitness/commuting skates that still retain smaller wheels (in the range of 80 mm) use the superior maneuverability of those smaller wheels as a big selling point. Beginning and intermediate skaters may also find the smaller wheels easy to control, but make no mistake -- you can still get going fast on skates with 80 mm wheels, too.
If you are looking for a gender-specific model, this is the category where you are most likely to encounter separate men's and women's models. The biggest differences between women's and men's skates are usually the shape of the boot and cuff, plus the color scheme.
K2 is far and away the dominant company in the world of fitness skating, although its highest-end skates tend toward large wheels and relatively low-cut soft boots that may be intimidating to beginners. That said, we found a few reviews from beginners who love our Best Reviewed all-around skate, the K2 VO2 90 Boa (Est. $280). Reviewers say they're pleasantly surprised by how easily they can handle the 90 mm wheels and speedy, ILQ-9 bearings.
The VO2 90 Boa's ease of handling is, at least in part, due to those large wheels and the shock-absorbing qualities of K2's trademark soft boot, all of which combine to let you roll over gravel, sticks and pavement cracks with relative impunity.
The K2 boot is cut relatively low for a fitness skate, although its ratchet-lock cuff still supports your ankle. It's also well-ventilated, which leaves you more comfortable on hot days or during hard workouts, but also makes the mesh parts a little less durable in case of a crash. The good news is that the wheels, which drew criticism in years past for wearing out quickly, now last much longer.
The Boa closure system -- just twist a dial to tighten the laces, or pop the dial out to loosen them -- draws rave reviews from skaters who say it's well worth the extra $50 it adds to the skate's retail cost. But if money is an issue, you can get the same skate in a "Pro" version (Est. $240), with speed laces instead of the Boa closures.
The K2 VO2 90 Boa is the best all-around skate in this report -- but if you're into inline skating marathons or are thinking of transitioning to speed skating, you might prefer the K2 Radical 100 (Est. $350). The Radical 100 retains K2's soft boot, but upgrades to 100 mm/85a wheels and ILQ-9 bearings.
The Radical 100 uses traditional laces as a closure -- if you want the Boa system, you'll have to upgrade to the K2 Radical X Boa (Est. $500), which also comes with a hi-lo configuration, putting even speedier 110 mm wheels in the back two positions.
The Radical 100's ventilated boot still supports your ankle, but it's cut a little lower than your average recreation skate; if you're a fitness skater who needs plenty of secure ankle support, this probably isn't the skate for you. A rigid, responsive carbon fiber base gives the sort of supportive, smooth ride you'd expect from a speed skate, and best of all the K2 Radical 100 can stand up to all the miles you'll be putting on them. "I have had two pairs, put THOUSANDS of miles on miles on each, and never a problem," writes one happy customer at InlinePlanet.com.
Both the K2 VO2 90 Boa (sometimes sold as the VO2 Max 90) and the K2 Radical 100 are available in men's and women's versions. The Rollerblade Fusion X3 (Est. $180), by comparison, uses unisex sizing -- but if you want to buck the trend of big-wheeled fitness skates or want some serious ankle support, this could be the skate for you thanks to its rigid, molded plastic shell and 80 mm, 80a wheels.
Those mid-size wheels offer a nice combination of speed -- though not as fast as K2's big wheels -- and the sort of maneuverability you just can't get from big-wheeled skates. The stiff boot makes the Fusion X3 a particular favorite with heavier users who want the extra support, and most reviewers say it's comfortable after a short break-in period.
However, the hook-and-loop closure at the ankle of the Fusion X3 -- unusual, when almost every other inline skate uses a ratchet strap -- is a potential weak point. Several users warn that it's hard to get this and the instep strap snug, and that they can loosen up as you skate.
If all you want is a solid ride on a pair of reliable inline skates, you don't necessarily have to drop hundreds of dollars to get it. The Bladerunner Formula 82 (Est. $100) won't be winning any speed contests against higher-end competitors, but its 82 mm wheels and ABEC 7 bearings -- a great find in this price range -- will still get you where you're going in good time.
For some, the idea of "not too much" speed is actually a draw; beginning and intermediate riders like knowing these skates won't get away from them. Meanwhile, the mid-size wheels are nicely maneuverable and the soft boot, another nice find in this price range, feels comfortable and sturdy. You can expect these skates to hold up better than generic department store skates, but again a couple of reviewers warn that the closures are a bit of a weak point. One Amazon.com user says that if you fall forward, the ankle strap can break off.
The Bladerunner Formula 82 only comes in whole sizes, which can make fit challenging depending on your foot size, but it's available in both men's and women's models (and sizing), which helps expand your choices a bit.
Several of the general-purpose inline skates we've reviewed -- the Best Reviewed K2 VO2 90 Boa and Bladerunner Formula 82, and the K2 Radical 100 -- are available with either men's or women's boots. But one women-only model stood out enough in our research that it deserves a mention, too: the K2 Alexis Boa (Est. $200).
The K2 Alexis has the same Boa closure that's such a hit on the K2 VO2 90, and the K2 soft boot with a stable aluminum frame. Meanwhile, its 84 mm wheels and ILQ-7 bearings make it particularly good for beginning and intermediate skaters; they're fast, but not so fast that they'll get away from you. You also have the option of upgrading to 90 mm wheels in the future if -- or you can opt for the K2 Alexis X Pro (Est. $160), which puts two 80 mm wheels in the front two slots for enhanced maneuverability without sacrificing speed.
Finally, keep in mind that there's nothing sacred about a skate being labeled for women or men -- and with a trend toward relatively neutral color schemes for both genders, it's hard to tell the difference between the two at a glance. So just buy whatever gives you the best fit.

India releases its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data
- Date
- 20 May 2010
The Government of India has released the country's emissions data for 2007, the first such official estimate to be presented since 1994.
The figures show that India's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions grew by 58 percent between 1994 and 2007, amounting to 1.73 billion tonnes in 2007, or approximately 4-5% of the world total. This ranks India – Asia's third largest economy, with 17% of the world's population – fifth in aggregate GHG emissions in the world, behind China, USA, EU and Russia.
Internationally, India has committed to using per capita emissions as the metric for defining its contribution to global climate change efforts. Since 1994, the per capita CO2 emissions in India have risen from 1.2 to 1.5 tons in 2007. This compares to per capita emissions (in 2005) of around 23 tonnes in USA and over 5 tonnes in China.
The study found that electricity generation accounted for 37.8% of GHG emissions, up by over 200% since 1994. Agriculture accounted for the second largest share of emissions (17.6%), although it has shown a notable decline in its absolute and relative emissions since 1994. The industrial and transportation sectors accounted for a large and increased share of India's emissions mix, as the country's GDP continues to grow at a rate over 7%.
India is one of the first developing countries to announce such updated data. Importantly, Environment Minister, Jairam Ramesh, has stated that India's emissions inventory will now be published regularly in a two-year cycle.
This is likely to have a positive impact on India's climate strategy, as it would allow modelling and monitoring practices to be incorporated into policies. This is in line with India's announcement last October to set up a new climate research centre and build climate satellites to improve data collection.
Mark Kenber, The Climate Group's Policy Director, noted the benefit for the international climate negotiations as well. "The monitoring, reporting and verification of developing country emissions is a sensitive but critical element to any new global climate deal. India's leadership in publishing its emissions data will help build the confidence needed to resolve country differences on this issue".
On the eve of the Copenhagen climate summit, India committed to a 20-25% reduction in its green house gas emissions intensity by 2020. The study has found that between 1994 and 2007, the emissions intensity of India's GDP declined by more than 30%.
This suggests that India's 2020 target should be achievable and lay the basis for deeper reduction in emissions intensity in the future. Such actions would not only support international efforts to keep global warming below 2 degrees but also contribute to improving the country's productivity and energy efficiency..
Quick figures:
- Net Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from India in 2007 (emissions with land use, land use change and forestry, LULUCF), were 1.73 billion tons of CO2 equivalent (eq) of which:
1. CO2 emissions were 1.22 billion tons;
2. CH4 emissions were 20.56 million tons; and
3. N2O emissions were 0.24 million tons.
- GHG emissions from Energy, Industry, Agriculture, and Waste sectors constituted 58%, 22%, 17% and 3% of the net CO2 eq emissions respectively.
- The transport sector emissions include all GHG emissions from road transport, railways, aviation and navigation. The total number of registered vehicles in the country has increased from 5.4 million in 1981 to 99.6 million in 2007. Two wheelers and cars constitute nearly 88% of the total vehicles at the national level.
- India's per capita CO2 eq emissions including LULUCF were 1.5 tons/capita in 2007.
The study was undertaken by the Indian Network for Climate Change Assessment (INCCA). This network was established in 2009 by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. It brings together over a hundred institutions and two hundred scientists from across the country.

So I take everything back that I've EVAH said about Nando's faux-hawk. Well, almost everything. It's still a tired 'do but the "style" on the left is just atrocious.
Hair can really make or break the man, I've always said. I guess blonds DON'T have more fun when they look like that though.

World of Warcraft: The Comic series Edit
The original comic series leaned it's focus more towards the Alliance rather than the Horde. In response Wildstorm intended to spinoff a Horde series and continue the original series as an Alliance centric comic begining with issue 26. This has since been cancelled, however, in favor of releasing the stories in graphic novel form instead.[1]
World of Warcraft: Ashbringer mini-series Edit
- World of Warcraft: Ashbringer
- Issue 1: Death is Contagious
- Issue 2: Ashes to Ashes
- Issue 3: Naxxramas
- Issue 4: Dust to Dust
World of Warcraft: Special Edit
- Issue 1: Beginnings and Ends
World of Warcraft ongoing series Horde spinoff Edit
Wildstorm intended to launch a new Horde title to complement the World of Warcraft ongoing series, which came into a wrap-up in issue 25, triggering the split of the World of Warcraft comic book into two titles with the new Horde title spinoff hitting newsstands on January 2010.[2] This has since been cancelled, however, in favor of releasing the stories in graphic novel form instead.[1]
World of Warcraft: Curse of the Worgen mini-series Edit
World of Warcraft: Lich King mini-series Edit
World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria mini-series? Edit
Alliance series graphic novels Edit
Horde series graphic novels Edit
Other series Edit
- Wildstorm intended to release another Warcraft comic series during 2009. It is unknown whether this would be a mini-series akin to Ashbringer or a fully fledged series in its own right.[3]
- This planned series could have been the now left on ice World of Warcraft: Lich King.
- Wildstorm once released information on a product called "Panderans" but quickly removed it, as the information was inaccurate. They planned on putting up details on the correct product "in a few months" (from September, 2009).[4]

Despite health scare, local athlete wants to help others
Two years after having a tumor removed from his brain, Nicholas Polo is doing well.
1 2 Next page >
When Nicholas Polo was working out with his father in June of 2012, he began to experience severe head and neck pains and knew something was wrong.
Polo, now 16, experienced symptoms of double vision and throwing up, all while trying to prepare for his freshman year at St. Anthony's High School. Initially, Polo thought the problems originated from a bulging disk, so he went to physical therapy. That provided temporary relief, but the same issues returned.
His parents took him to Vijaya Atluru, M.D., who ordered an MRI. The doctor discovered that Polo had a tumor in his pineal gland, a small endocrine gland in the center of the brain, and suspected Hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus, a dangerous accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain, can be caused by the presence of a brain tumor.
Dr. Atluru referred Polo to John A. Grant, M.D., F.A.C.S., attending pediatric neurosurgeon with Neurological Surgery at Winthrop
To address the Hydrocephalus, Dr. Grant performed a procedure called third ventriculostomy, which uses a small camera with fiber optic technology to view the surface of the ventricle (space) inside the brain, where the fluid accumulates. A small tool attached to the same device makes a tiny hole in the floor of the third ventricle, which releases the built-up fluid.
Dr. Grant also extracted some of this fluid and tested it for tumor markers to rule out a germinoma, which can only be treated with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, and not surgery. The test determined that Polo did not have a germinoma. Based on these results, surgery was the appropriate treatment option. The next task was to remove the tumor.
The exact type of tumor could only be determined through a biopsy, performed after its removal, which showed that it was a mixed pineal tumor, with a combination of benign and malignant cells.
"This is a very complex surgery, as the tumor is located in the center of the brain," Dr. Grant said.
"I had to go for radiation and eight months of chemotherapy," Polo said.
He now gets regular MRIs to ensure that everything is okay.
"Nicholas is a real fighter," Dr. Grant. "He bounced back rapidly."

|NEMA assesses tornado damage in Abaco; offers safety tips
|Tuesday, 29 May 2012 10:14
MURPHY TOWN, Abaco - An assessment team lead by Captain Stephen Russell, Director of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA, conducted an inspection of the damage caused by a tornado, which stuck the settlement Thursday, May 24, 2012.
William Krezel, Structural Engineer of the Ministry of Public Works and Transport and Leading Mechanic Sydney Larrimore, of the Royal Bahamas Defence Force Technical Department, accompanied Captain Russell.
The team discovered that four properties were "clearly impacted" by a severe weather system, which passed through the islands of Bimini, Grand Bahama, Abaco and adjacent waters. The Met Department had issued a warning of a thunderstorm, which can cause strong gusty winds, dangerous lightning, heavy downpour and possible tornadic activity.
The four properties impacted were: A duplex unit. The lower panels of a door were blown out and the roof suffered minor damage.
A Laundromat with an apartment attached also had roof damaged; but was covered with tarpaulin. A downed utility pole was quickly replaced and electricity restored to the general area.
A triplex unit. A portion of the roof one of the units was blown off;
The Abaco Block and Concrete Company
The structural engineer examined the integrity of the remainder structure of the triplex to determine its suitability for living. The 12 inhabitants have been temporarily relocated with the assistance of the Department of Social Services Production of the Abaco Block and Concrete Company has been compromised due to damage to its building, equipment and vehicles. The manager noted that it could take at least three weeks to be back in operation.
The assessment team noted a jeep tangled in heavy duty power lines, a 4,000 gallon fuel tank appeared to have been tossed into the air and landed about 500 feet away from its original location."We are thankful to God that there were no fatalities or injuries during the passage of that severe weather system," Captain Russell said.
He then issued the following tornado safety tips:
Look and listen for large hailstones, heavy rain, strong winds, frequent intense lightning bolts with rotary motion at the base of a thunderstorm cloud with loud roaring sounds like jet or train.
Seek safe shelter – A basement is best, other wise choose ground floor centre rooms surrounded by other rooms. Never choose upstairs because tornadic winds and speeds increase with height above the ground.
Choose rooms on the north and east sides of the your shelter if no interior rooms are available. Stay near the innermost walls. Avoid rooms on the south and west because tornados usually travel from southwest to northeast.
Choose a small closet or bathroom because small rooms are less susceptible to collapse. Take shelter within the bathtub if there are no glass tub enclosures or large mirrors nearby.
Protect yourself and families by staying calm, seek shelter immediately, keep a portable TV/radio and flashlight in your shelter, wear shows to protect your feet from broken glass and other debris left in the wake of the storm, protect head and chest by crouching face to floor with hands behind your head, cover yourself with blankets, pillows or coat, hide under sturdy furniture and avoid candles, gas lanterns and oil lamps.
At school or in an office, seek designated shelter in the interior rooms or hallways on the ground floor or lowest floor possible. Avoid auditoriums and gymnasiums.
In shopping malls, seek smaller interior shops on the ground floor and avoid large open rooms as well as the south and west walls. Evacuate mobile vehicles and seek shelter in substantial structure, ditch or culvert.

Ford F-1 Door Hinges & Latches Install - Swinging DoorsWritten by on March 1, 2009 Fixing Hinges & Latches
It's likely that the doors on your hot rod hauler have seen better days. Especially the driver's door, as that's the one that usually receives the brunt of abuse for likely reasons. If anyone's seen the video flying around the Internet of the guys in the Middle East "sandal surfing," then it should come as no surprise that those doors on your pickup are a bit worse for wear. That said, why the majority of doors on our classic haulers have seen such abuse is a topic better left for another discussion. A better explanation would be simply that of time and use. While the passenger car variant was replaced as time, wear, and styling deemed necessary, our loyal haulers were nary put out to pasture until each and every aspect of their useful lives were put to rest. But, as long as their Stovebolt, Flathead, and later V-8 engines still coughed up with gusto each morning, so did the rest of the truck, regardless the shape of their cabs, beds, or sheetmetal.
Anyone who's restored a classic truck has come across this "modification out of necessitation." Growing up in California's Central Valley, I've come across my fair share of trucks that have been "farm modified." And given the choice, it makes sense that many individuals chose to modify rather than upgrade their given haulers. The idea of restoring their farm equipment never passed through many Farmer John minds, and rightly so. At the time, it served its sole purpose, and if it didn't serve that purpose, it was modified or put by the wayside.
This attitude, while it may frustrate us today, must be remembered and taken into consideration when it comes to restoring our old trucks. That was something I needed to remind myself of when it came time to go through the doors on our project F-1. While the driver's door hung nicely, it was only due to a tacked door pin, something that would have to be replaced if I ever wanted the door to open and close like new. The passenger door, on the other hand, had a bit of play in the hinge pins. What this meant was that no matter how hard I tried, the doors wouldn't shut right until those things were fixed. Add to that a half-century of crud built up on the door latch assembly and it was obvious that a complete overhaul was due.
The first step was to remove the doors from the cab and rebuild the latch mechanisms. In doing so, a number of bolts on the hinges were sheared. This caused a problem in that the hinges were permanently attached to the cab. By drilling out the damaged hardware and using an easy-out, the permanent hinges were saved and we were off and running. Bolting the doors back up, we installed new hinge pins and the restoration of our doors was off to a good start.

When we removed the doors originally, a few of the bolts sheared in the stock hinges. By drilling out the center of the stuck hardware and using an easy-out, we were able to get the broken hardware free. Once out,...With the hinges repaired, we were able to bolt up the doors with new hardware from Totally Stainless. The next step was to replace the worn hinge pins with new ones from Sacramento Vintage Ford. The heads of the old pins were ground down and the pins driven out using a hammer and drift.Here's a shot of the original female dovetail that helps align the door and the striker plate. They're a little worse for wear, so we'll replace them.The dovetail rubbers, which align the door via the male dovetail, are held in by a spring and are easily removed by pushing in and up with a screwdriver.Here's the new replacement piece from Sacramento Vintage Ford on the left with the worn originals on the right.Since the female dovetail housing is riveted, and ours seemed OK, we simply replaced the rubber bumpers and springs by pressing them into place using the same method used in removing the old ones. Also note the new, stainless striker plate From Sacramento Vintage Ford installed above.
...These keep the doors from swinging wide open into the fenders and are held in place with a rivet and a cotter pin.The original latch mechanisms were in decent shape, but needed a good bath in the blasting cabinet to get them nice and clean. Here's a before and after comparison.A quick coat in Eastwood's Rust Encapsulator ensures that the latch mechanisms never again end up looking like they did when we took them apart.Before installing the latch mechanisms in the door, a bit of grease is applied to the springs and any other moving parts to ensure free movement.A Totally Stainless hardware kit was used throughout our build and includes all the bits to not only install the latches but the door panels as well when the time comes.
With the latches installed, we can now install the outside door handles. The square shaft engages the latch and may need to be trimmed to fit.Once trimmed, the outside handles are held in place with a gasket on the doorsill. Be sure to install the rubber grommet behind the door handle.Next comes the door locks. These slide in just like the outside handles and may need the shafts to be trimmed as well.Here's a shot of the outside door handle and door lock installed. Note the Allen key used to lock the tumbler into place.The inside door handles use a pin to hold them in place on the latch mechanism shaft. Missing in this photo is the sheetmetal cover that presses against the spring-loaded escutcheons that hold the pin in place. The escutcheons cover the pin and keep it from dropping out of the handle.With the doors installed, it's important to check the door-to-body gap to ensure that everything's kosher...

We like to think of the human brain as special, but as we reported on Plus last year, it has quite a lot in common with worm brains and even with high-performance information processing systems. But how does it compare to online social networks? In a recent lecture the psychiatrist Ed Bullmore put this question to the test.

If you are prone to forgetting your passwords, you're not alone. To make sure we remember all our passwords, many of us take measures that defeat the purpose. These include, as studies have shown, using the same password for everything or writing them down on post-it notes and sticking them to our computer. But such sloppiness makes easy work for evil agents out to steal our data and identities. Now physicists from the US and Germany have devised a safer way of using passwords that takes account of the human need for memorability.

Topologists famously think that a doughnut is the same as a coffee cup because one can be deformed into the other without tearing or cutting. In other words, topology doesn't care about exact measurements of quantities like lengths, angles and areas. Instead, it looks only at the overall shape of an object, considering two objects to be the same as long as you can morph one into the other without breaking it. But how do you work with such a slippery concept? One useful tool is what's called the fundamental group of a shape.

The SU Investment Club's Ship Global Collegiate Fund took home a first place at the R.I.S.E. XII (Redefining Investment Strategy Education) Investment Forum and a second place at the G.A.M.E (Global Asset Management Education) II Forum on March 29-31, 2012. The R.I.S.E. Forum is sponsored by the University of Dayton in association with the United Nations Global Compact and has gone on for a dozen years. The G.A.M.E Forum is sponsored by Quinnipiac University and started last year in New York City.
More than 200 programs nationwide allow students to make investment decisions with real portfolios. For both investment forums, universities with student-managed portfolios are invited to compete against one another in the areas of growth, value, core, balanced, and fixed income styles of management. The portfolio competition is based on twelve-month risk-adjusted return in 2011. Our awards came in the growth equity category at R.I.S.E and in the core equity category at G.A.M.E. The Ship Global Collegiate Fund has a return of 7.69% last year versus 2.11% for the S&P 500 index. On a risk-adjusted return basis (annual return/monthly standard deviation), the Ship Global Collegiate Fund yields a risk-adjusted return of 1.98% versus 0.46% for the S&P 500 index. The portfolio's top three investments in 2011 are Terra Nitrogen (TNH) with 55.3% return, Limited Brands (LTD) with 42.4% return, and Discover Financial Services (DFS) with 29.5%.
R.I.S.E. and G.A.M.E are student investment strategy forums. Modeled after the World Economic Forum, both investment forums connect students and faculty with Wall Street professionals in interactive discussions. The forums include student workshops geared toward learning investment strategies and the annual student-managed investment portfolio competition. This year's forums include panelists from companies such as Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Blackrock, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America Merrill Lynch, Bloomberg, Morningstar and many more.
The Investment Club's Ship Global Collegiate Fund was created in 2003 with the intention of providing students with an educational experience in managing a real dollar portfolio. The investment fund is run and maintained by club members and is open to every students. In addition to managing the portfolio, the Investment Club holds seminars for club members covering financial theory and application, current events, and professional development.

I hauled ass off the hill to get to the main road so if I needed a tow it would be a little cheaper. After I inspected the damage I realized the fluid that was pouring out of it was gear oil, ( I first thought it was the oil pan) I called my tranny guy and was able to drive it to the shop without harming anything. $1000 scoutting trip! Damit! And it's not even my deer tag.

Harold Ramis, best known for his role as Egon Spengler in 1984's hit "Ghostbusters," has died at the age of 69.
The actor and filmmaker passed away early on Monday following a battle with rare blood disease autoimmune inflammatory vasculitis.
Born in Chicago, Illinois, Ramis started out as a playwright in college, honing his skills by penning parodies. He joined the Second City improvisational comedy group, where he met John Belushi and "Ghostbusters" co-star Bill Murray.
The trio went on to work together on the New York-based radio show "The National Lampoon Radio Hour" in the early 1970s and Ramis' work on the program helped him land a job as a co-writer of the 1978 comedy film, "National Lampoon's Animal House," which starred Belushi.

He and Murray became frequent collaborators, and Ramis served as writer/director on their hit movies "Caddyshack" and "Groundhog Day." He also wrote and directed Robert De Niro and Billy Crystal's 1999 comedy "Analyze This".
As an actor, Ramis was perhaps best known for his role as Egon Spengler in 1984's "Ghostbusters," while he also played Russell Ziskey in another Murray collaboration, 1981's "Stripes."
Tributes pour in for Harold Ramis
Hollywood stars Jon Fabreau, Seth MacFarlane, Elijah Wood and Eli Roth are among the celebrities leading the tributes to Ramis following his death on Monday.
Ramis' death stunned celebrity fans and friends, who have flooded Twitter with touching tributes.
Actor/director Favreau writes, "No no not Harold Ramis. Worked for him years ago. He was the real deal. Growing up, his work changed my life. He will be missed", while Roth tweets, "Oh no, Harold Ramis died. One of my filmmaking heroes. Caddyshack, Stripes, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day… So sad."
Harold Ramis. Funny, gracious, kind hearted. A joy to have known you.
— Steve Carell (@SteveCarell) February 24, 2014
Harold Ramis was a brilliant, shining example for every comedy writer hoping to achieve excellence the field. He will be sorely missed.

REST IN PEACE Harold Ramis : a continued source of everything funny
— Henry Winkler (@hwinkler4real) February 24, 2014
Meanwhile, British comedian Stephen Fry hailed Ramis as "a comedy hero", while Scrubs star Zach Braff credited the late funnyman with inspiring him to pursue a career in showbusiness, writing: "If you're my age and got into comedy, Harold Ramis was one of the reasons. Life is fast and over too soon."
Patton Oswalt, "Karate Kid" star Ralph Macchio, Eliza Dushku, Rashida Jones and Mark Hoppus from Blink-182 have also tweeted their shock and sadness following the tragic news.

Tools have played an important role in human evolution, and in fact, our design of and use of tools is a major factor in what sets us apart from other living species. While we've certainly come a long way since the sticks and stones of our ancestors, when it comes to tools designed to care for our skin, it seems that the innovations are endless! Whether you're looking for a method to remove unwanted facial or body hair, seeking to massage and rejuvenate both body and skin, or looking for pain relief from sore muscles, tension, carpal tunnel, arthritis or swelling, there's a tool here to help.
Choose from a light-based hair removal device, available at a fraction of the cost of an in-office laser hair removal treatment, or a cordless shaver with glide tweezer technology designed for painless hair removal from the root. To reduce cellulite on your body, or to reverse the signs of aging on your face, give yourself a spa treatment at home every day with the Wellbox Lipomassage Machine. And when you're done massaging, check out the microdermabrasion system for cleansing, polishing, moisturizing and resurfacing your skin. Light and massage therapy tools are also available for your aches and pains. Alas, relief is here!

Saturday's will be third such event since the end of December

STEUBENVILLE — Another rally to protest the handling of the criminal case surrounding the alleged rape of a teenage girl is set for noon Saturday in front of the Jefferson County Courthouse....
Actually, there was a lot of yelling on the microphone about when & where it was & rounds of applause for the snacks & that's what seemed to garner the most support from the crowd. Well, that & when everyone got up there to curse rampantly in front of children & such. So you feel that I am a moron & possible rapist because I disagree with how poorly a lot of the "protesters" handled themselves? You're clearly delusional.

pizza and hot choclate? they were just giving it away free. nice to see a fellow human care.
however i do agree that some were there for the wrong reason, they seemed to crave the attention they were getting.
i do hope these morons (maybe even yourself) has justice served on them for the crime they did committ.
karma is lurking, waiting for you staygold. wife, daughter, mother, grandchild? it will come around.
