Chile Aid Arrives, Amid Criticism
Government, After Slow Start, Raises Death Toll, Expands Curfews, Prompting Chileans to Take Stock
Aid began arriving in devastated areas of Chile on Tuesday amid growing complaints the government was slow to respond to Saturday's 8.8-magnitude earthquake—prompting many Chileans to take stock of how one of Latin America's most developed countries measured up in a time of crisis.
The army was greeted with cheers as it trucked five million combat rations into the southern town of Concepción, Chile's second-largest city. But water was still scarce, betraying the relief effort's real limits nearly four days after the temblor.
In some places, residents phone in a fire, said Miguel Reyes, president of Chile's firefighters' association. When crews arrive, they are surrounded by desperate people—who take over their trucks and siphon off the water. "In some areas, we don't go anywhere without police or military protection," Mr. Reyes said.
Concepción's streets were empty Tuesday, a day after looters pillaged and torched stores while residents formed armed vigilante groups to protect their property. The government responded by declaring a curfew for southern towns on Sunday night, extending it to 18 hours on Tuesday. Chile on Monday began accepting international material assistance but it hasn't yet called in waiting international search-and-rescue teams.
Some 1.2 million homes have been damaged and two million people are displaced, officials said. The government revised its death toll up to 795.
Also Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton arrived in the country on a previously scheduled visit to Latin America, meeting briefly with Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, now in her final days in office, and President-elect Sebastián Piñera. Mrs. Clinton delivered satellite phones and promises of field hospitals, water-purification systems and other supplies. She praised Chile for responding with "resilience and strength."
Among Chileans, the quality of the government's response was a matter of debate. The delay in accepting aid and the raised death toll, coming three days after the country suffered one of the biggest quakes ever recorded, drew criticism that the government had been slow to respond. Chile estimated Saturday morning that about 100 people had perished and said it doubted the number would even double. Ms. Bachelet played down in a radio address the risk of tsunami waves that ended contributing to hundreds of deaths.
The delay opened a window for violence and looting, one critic wrote in an editorial Tuesday in the major Chilean daily paper La Tercera, underscoring the poverty in which many in the country still live. Others said the government—one of Latin America's top economies, with a rescue system that had widely been considered excellent—fell short.
"The public apparatus showed that it wasn't ready to handle a disaster," said Leonidas Montes, a professor at the school of government at Santiago's Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez.
"We like to think we are a country that has improved a lot, but clearly that isn't the case," 27-year-old Fernanda Suarez said of images of looting and chaos she saw broadcast from near the quake's epicenter. "It's shameful we can't control things better than this," added Ms. Suarez, who, along with her new husband, 26-year-old welder Felipe Hernández, escaped their apartment building on the outskirts of Santiago, the capital, just before it collapsed behind them.
Chilean officials say rescue efforts have been complicated by destroyed bridges, roads, communications systems and powerful aftershocks. Education Minister Mónica Jiménez, speaking on Chilean television, said criticisms of the government response were unfair and unhelpful.
An earthquake so damaging "had never happened in the history of the country," Ms. Jiménez said. "We are doing what Chile could do."
Others commended government efforts to maintain calm after the quake, and credited its strict building codes for the many structures that withstood a quake 500 times as powerful as the one that claimed at least 220,000 lives in Haiti in January.
Santiago continued to regain its footing, as flights started to take off from its international airport a day earlier than expected. Power supplies returned to important mines.
Strongest Earthquakes
After two days of chaotic looting that heavily damaged Concepción, the deployment of 14,000 troops to enforce curfews there and in other cities began to instill a measure of calm.
Critics say Ms. Bachelet's center-left government was initially reluctant to deploy troops because officials feared it raised the specter of the long military dictatorship that began after Gen. Augusto Pinochet overthrew the country's elected Marxist government in 1973.
"People on the street have moved beyond that association and were actually eager for the military to arrive," said Patricio Navia, a Chilean political scientist at New York University. "The government let ideology slow their ability to address the needs of the public."
Speaking on national television Monday night, Pilar Armanet, Ms. Bachelet's spokeswoman, said such fears played no role in the decision.
"If there was a problem, it was one of communication," she said. Key officials were unable to speak, she said, because government phones, servers and other systems were down after the quake.
On Tuesday, helicopters arrived with food and other supplies in one of the hardest hit towns, Constitución, which was swamped with waves after the quake. Some 350 people are estimated to have died there.
In Concepción, the frantic search for survivors trapped in a collapsed apartment building continued Tuesday. Knocks heard overnight had gone silent. Rescue workers were attacking the 15-story building—dumped on its side during the temblor—from all sides to find six missing residents.
Concepción's residents remained traumatized by the quake and aftershocks. In a patio outside a block of apartments that houses members of the military services, about 10 tents had sprung up. The occupants' apartments were still habitable, but the tent-dwellers refused to stay indoors. "I've got two children and I can't risk staying in a third floor apartment," said Janira Cifuentes, who said she has gone into her apartment only for lone enough to move essentials into her tent. "I'm not going to go back until I'm convinced the earth isn't moving any more."
Late Tuesday morning there, a line of traffic several miles long was backed up waiting to enter city limits, slowed in part from the curfew that was newly expanded from 6 p.m. to noon. Many of the motorists waiting for the end of curfew were bringing provisions for loved ones.
David Letelier had traveled a couple of hundred miles with a truckload of food and fuel for relatives he hadn't heard from in days. He was worried more about looters than about aftershocks.
He called the looters hoodlums who deserved to feel the full force of the law. "If someone loots a store because they are hungry, they won't be stealing TV sets, like some of these people," Mr. Letelier said.

RALEIGH � Kevin Riggs, an EMS volunteer from Pitt County, plans to use the $250,000 he won playing $250,000 Cash Money to make repairs to his home and purchase a new truck.
Riggs, who works as an appliance repairman, scratched off the lucky $5 ticket after purchasing it at the Food Lion on N.C. 55 in Durham.
�As soon as I scratched it, I started looking around for a pen to sign the back of the ticket,� Riggs said. �I�ve always felt like a big win was coming my way, but it was still unbelievable. This feels wonderful.�
After state and federal taxes were collected, Riggs received a check for $173,001. As of Tuesday afternoon, two more top prizes remain to be claimed in the $250,000 Cash Money game.

We're always interested in the active lifestyles of baby boomers who have moved abroad. So it is with writer Mark Saunders, author of Nobody Knows the Spanish I Speak, who has found his nirvana.
Whenever we return from our home in Mexico to visit friends and relatives in the United States, we are always asked two questions: is Mexico safe, and what do you do for medical care? I finally figured out an easy way to answer both questions with the same reply. I tell them we'll probably be kidnapped or killed before the year is out, so medical care isn't an issue.
People who know me will roll their eyes or purse their lips, some might chuckle and shake their heads. On the other hand, the mouths of people who don't know me will usually drop wide open or they'll flash me that "I knew it" smile. Then I'll tell them, quickly, I was only joking.
In San Miguel de Allende, we are ten hours by car from most of the violence in Mexico and we feel safe. In fact, we made the six-day drive in our cramped car from Portland, Oregon, to San Miguel, arriving tired and dirty and smelly but relatively unscathed. In violation of mainstream media expectations, we didn't get car-jacked, kidnapped, or mistakenly shot at.
Let's face it. We're all in the line of fire, no matter where we live. Last October someone walked into a hair salon in Seal Beach, California, and killed eight people. More recently, a guy went berserk in Seattle at a coffee shop and killed five others before taking his own life. According to FBI crime statistics, Mexico is twice as safe for Texans than Texas (and three times safer than Houston).
As one Mexican government official pointed out, "There are more than 2,500 municipalities in Mexico, and the majority of violence is in twelve of them." Or as journalist Linda Ellerbee said in an essay on the topic, "Talking about drug violence in Mexico without naming a state or city where this is taking place is rather like looking at the horror of Katrina and saying, 'Damn. Did you know the U.S. is under water?'"
Medical care is another matter. First, some background. I'm in the Veterans Administration system, which, I might add, is wonderful and I think everyone should be so lucky. If I need any major medical care, I'll return to the United States and get it.
However, for my day-to-day care south of the border, I have a regular physician here in town. The cost of a visit is about 300 pesos, más o menos, which at the current exchange rate is about $21 dollars— so it's less than my old co-pay under a company-provided medical plan. My doctor is a conventional physician, fully trained, tri-lingual, and not an obvious advocate of, say,alternative medicine. (There's nothing wrong with the alternative path and plenty of people here are happy to follow it; I mention this to remove any potential images of a shaman waving incense in my face). I don't have to wait long to see my doctor and he spends as much time as he thinks he needs. In short, it's not conveyor belt treatment with the doctor playing Beat the Clock.
Additionally, most medications are cheaper here than in the United States and it seems as if there's either a regular pharmacy or a generic-brands pharmacy on every street corner. For example, I have asthma. One time upon returning to the States, I checked on renewing my inhaler. Because I didn't have a medical plan that included drug coverage, it was going to cost me $200 for the refill. I can get the same inhaler in Mexico for the equivalent of between $30 and $40— and that's without any kind of medical plan!
I believe San Miguel has two hospitals, one private and the other public. However, we're just 45 minutes by car from a major U.S.-style hospital that's as modern as they come. To recap, most of our medical needs can be met here and if they can't, we'll return north as needed.
Anyway, we tend to live a healthier life in this mountain town, six thousand feet and change above sea level. We're outside a lot. We walk just about everywhere we go (we might put ten dollars worth of gas in our car every six weeks). All our produce is local and organic and, incidentally, delicious. Plus, we're more relaxed. We're no longer commuting and stuck in traffic, stewing in our juices and watching both thecar's thermostat and our own blood pressures rise.
Oh, I almost forgot. The doctors here make house calls and the pharmacies make home deliveries. Sweet.

Backup Exec - Backup Schedule
Created: 14 Jan 2013 | 1 comment
One feature that would be very helpful is that in the Backup Schedule option in the Recurrence Pattern, when Hours is selected, we should have the possibility of chosing Start Time and End Time. In my case, I run an sql backup every 2 hours. I would like it to run every 2 hours during office time only. During the night when the business is closed, it does not have to run.

Wood Dale Junior High Parents, Students Vote Down Name Change
Gutowski, Christy, Daily Herald (Arlington Heights, IL)
Byline: Christy Gutowski Daily Herald Staff Writer
Wood Dale Junior High School's name will stay the same.
District 7 officials recently decided to keep the moniker as is after polling students, parents and teachers.
The school system late last year formed a panel to study the idea of renaming the school "Wood Dale Middle School" to reflect the model upon which the students' education is based.
An overwhelming majority - some 80 percent - of those surveyed urged the board against the switch. And an even larger percentage of the 400 students polled said the "junior high" term sounded more mature.
"I think they perceive the junior high name to make them sound like they're bigger," Principal Larry Hartwig said.
Parents and educators argued that 10 years from now the middle school concept could be replaced by another educational model. As they see it, why mess with tradition.
"Schools are constantly struggling to improve," Superintendent Michael Smoot said, "and sometimes the more you change things, the more they circle around and come back to the way they were. …

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Utah company offering online a sock monkey named for Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says it didn't mean to anger anyone with a "cute and cuddly" toy that some are calling racist.
An official statement issued today by Sock Obama LLC says the toy was based on a "casual and affectionate observation" that there was an association between the Illinois senator and the toy.
But the president of the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls the toy "pure racism at its extreme."

(WJLA) - Jordan Lloyd-Bookey and Felix Lloyd's idea for a customized service to find books and products tailored to individual children's interests was chosen after a single email from the producers of "Shark Tank."
"It moved pretty quickly after that, which we thought was a prank," they said. "We thought it was a prank!"
The duo created Zoobean, a children's book discovery platform and highly personalized subscription service - but they couldn't tell anyone about it, which was tough, considering they had an office out of D.C.'s start-up incubator, 1776, where many budding companies grow.
For instance, social photo game Snapdash, founded by Daniel Hanks; a mobile app for hospital patients called Infield Health, founded by Douglas Naegele; and the Kayak of Ground Transportation called RideScout.
"It really seemed like Mark Cuban got our company and got the vision for it," said the Zoobean founders of the "Shark Tank" panelist.
Since Jordan and Felix's episode of Shark Tank was taped in July, they have moved across the river to an office where they have some cool perks.
"We're proud of what we've done, and we've got a long way to go - with Shark Tank, I think the future's bright," said Jordan.

HistoryJournal Entry: Tue Jun 19, 2012, 5:43 PM
From the Apocalypse to the Utopia
An outbreak of the virus had happened a long time ago. Chaos ruled the world and humans struggled to survive. Many countries had fallen, and became ruins where the undead walked. The more powerful and rich countries had formed their own utopia where the people were safe from the undead, The United States becoming the center of all other. Each new country was ruled by a rich and powerful group who were able to supply citizens with food and weapons, and they called themselves the Sector Council.
The Plan of Expansion
Soon, the US came to face another crisis… over population. With their country reduced significantly, they needed more room for the people. The US Sector Council has come up with a plan of expansion to their utopia. One of the Council member, now known as "The Director" came up with an idea. The Dead Game: A new reality survival game show to be aired in their country.
"The Dead Game Beta"
The very first game involved 30 humans comprised of handpicked soldiers, prisoners, and a few citizens by the members of the Sector Council. They were given instructions, weapons, and supplies to complete their task to clear out the city of the undead. Faced with this challenge, many had become victim to the effects of both the virus and the psychological trauma. Out of 30 'Players', there were less than 10 survivors. However, this was a great success to the Director, who decided to continue the show with improved set-up, challenges, staff, and the monsters.

Padres loudly support Stults with 20 hits
Tommy Medica homers twice in drubbing of Atlanta
A meeting of struggling pitchers was called Friday night. A pair of beleaguered left-handers shared a lonely mound of dirt at Petco Park, supposedly baseball's most forgiving venue. The stakes supplied the difference: one southpaw throwing to keep his team in a playoff race, the other throwing to keep his hold on a tenuous position.
In the Padres' 10-1 drubbing of the Braves, it was Eric Stults who succeeded, his effectiveness overshadowed by an offensive barrage. Stults, who five days earlier had endured one ruinous inning against these same Braves, yielded an unearned run over 6 1/3 innings, even as the Padres buoyed him with a season-high 20 hits.
"To get runs early is huge and takes the pressure off," Stults said. "I've got to give a lot of credit to our offense. They came out tonight. The way they've been swinging the bats lately, I think it's starting to show. That's great to see and fun to be a part of."
Said Tommy Medica, who went 5-for-5 with four runs, two homers and four RBIs: "When the team starts hitting, it's contagious. You're rolling over the lineup, people are getting more at-bats, there's less time in between at-bats. It makes it much easier to hit, instead of it being about an hour in between at-bats when things aren't going well."
Five days earlier, Braves starter Mike Minor had pitched well enough to beat these same Padres, giving up two home runs but limiting the damage to three runs. Friday, he once again showed a propensity for surrendering the long ball.
Medica proved his main nemesis in a repeat of their encounter in Atlanta, in which Minor got the better of Medica in two at-bats. In what would be only the start of a teamwide outburst, the Padres first baseman walloped a pair of two-run shots, singlehandedly providing the kind of offense Stults had missed since early May.
Indeed, of all the Padres' starters in this scoring-deprived season, Stults has been offered the least support. And yet his 13 losses, a league-high, have largely been self-inflicted. He entered Friday with a 5.22 earned-run average. Less than a week ago in Atlanta, he was undone by a single inning in which the Braves batted around, battering him for six runs.
Friday, while Stults cut through the Braves' lineup, the Padres erupted. Medica crushed a 373-foot shot to left in the first, then outdid himself in the third with a 438-foot rocket in the same direction. Batting in the cleanup spot, Medica would later collect three singles.
His career night highlighted a collective effort; save for Stults, every member of the Padres' starting lineup had at least one hit, including Everth Cabrera, who went 4-for-5. The Padres, who went into the all-star break with a historically timid offense, have since averaged 5.1 runs per game, most in the National League.
"Today, we chopped a couple balls, blooped a couple balls, but I think the overall, collective at-bats have been better," Padres manager Bud Black said. "That starts prior to the game. It starts in the cage and in batting practice. These are things we've done all year. We just haven't put it together as a group.
"It comes down to every at-bat is counting, and these guys are doing a nice job."
It was all a welcome cushion for Stults, who took the mound in the face of a looming specter. For four months, he had been a frustrating link in a staunch rotation, one that has weathered injury and overcome inexperience. In all likelihood, the 34-year-old journeyman's stay has been prolonged by a dearth of other options, though a trio of injured arms -- Andrew Cashner, Robbie Erlin and Joe Wieland -- are currently regaining their health.

I am looking at buying another bike. Ive had a Specialized Hardrock (90s era) in the past and loved it after some minor mods to grips and tires. The same seller I purchased that one from a year ago has another Specialized of unknown lineage, and a DB Wildwood (http://lincoln.craigslist.org/bik/1188061839.html) but I know little about Diamondback other than they 'used' to be good bikes according to some.
This seller takes GREAT care of his stuff, so either way Id be getting an almost new bike-I just don't know enough about the DB. Its a comfort, vs. the Specialized MB geometry, im 265-but the MB position didn't bother me that much on the other one. Ill be commuting with it, around 7 mi one way, mostly pavement/street/trail. No Panniers, just a rack of some kind.
Thoughts? Ill get years on them if he emails me back-I know that would help.

Pre-Installation review
This review is from: SILVERSTONE AP123 120mm Case Fan with Mixed Fan Blade Design
Pros: Reviews I had read during my pre-sales decision process had very high opinions on this unit. At C$17 you cant go wrong with this specialty designed 12 inch case fan. I like the funnel design and the 1.2 metre reach.
Cons: Scanty/exiguous 31.4 CFM air flow.
Other Thoughts: I am trying to add more cooling to my AMD A6 6400K processor CPU which already has a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO on it. Readings are between 47C and 72C between idle and light load.(mostly at start up)

Nice blue fan
This review is from: SILVERSTONE AP123 120mm Case Fan with Mixed Fan Blade Design
Pros: Fairly quiet, awesome blue colour, nice braided cable, no motor noise, and undervolts well.
Cons: When the fan is horizontal and blowing air upwards the fan creates a ticking noise, I am not using it like this however so it doesn't affect me.
Other Thoughts: I am running this off of a motherboard header with the fan set to around 40% speed and it is silent.

Local artisans and craft vendors are banding together to help a local woman in need of a life-saving operation.
More than 50 groups will sell their wares from 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Gathering Place, 1495 W. Main St., Greenwood. Everything from oil paintings to handmade soaps to handbags will be available, with proceeds going to support Jessica Jones.
Jones, a 23-year-old Morgantown woman, suffers from adhesion related disorder. The condition causes her body to produce an abundance of scar tissue in her abdomen.
The scar tissue twists and strangles her organs. She's already suffered a life-threatening tear of her bladder, and other injuries likely will occur in the future, she said.
Doctors have told her there is very little they can do to help her. But Jones has been in contact with a doctor in Chicago, Dr. Consantine Frantzides, who specializes in adhesions. Frantzides has agreed to take her on as a patient and work to remedy the scar tissue issues she's having.
But because the procedure is experimental, insurance will not cover it, Jones said. She is working to raise the $10,000 needed to get the surgery.
To help her, friends and family have organized the craft fair. All the money raised from booth rental will go to Jones' fund, and donations will be accepted as well. Some vendors have pledged all of their own proceeds to go toward the surgery.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Jan 17, 2013) - McEwen Mining Inc. (MUX)(MUX.TO) today announced that its exploration efforts at the Los Azules Copper Project in San Juan Province, Argentina, continues to show significant potential to increase the size of the resource. The first ten drill holes completed and assayed have been successful in extending the mineralization both laterally to the east and to depth. In addition, the drilling appears to have identified a parallel mineralized trend to the southwest of the main part of the existing resource.
Exploration Highlights
A possible parallel mineralized trend may be emerging southwest of the resource. Good grades over long intervals have been intersected, highlights of which include 0.61% copper over 160 meters and 0.49% copper over 329 meters both in Hole 1291, 0.87% copper over 69 meters in Hole 12101 and 0.44% copper over 529 meters in Hole 1299, with each hole ending in mineralization.
Drill hole 1294 successfully extended the known copper mineralization 200 meters below the limits of the current resource. The total intersection of the hole assayed 0.47% copper over 610 meters meters and included 0.95% copper over 68 meters and 0.65% copper over 100 meters. A second drill hole, 1299, assayed 0.44% copper over 529 meters. This drill hole ended approximately 600 meters below the resource outline.
Drill hole 1289 was designed to target new mineralization further to the east. It was successful and returned 0.44% copper over 147 meters. This hole was drilled 150 meters east of any prior drilling.
The Company expects to release an updated resource estimate for Los Azules which incorporates these recent results in Mid-February.
Hole From
(m) To
(m) Thickness
(m) Copper Grade
1291 72 232 160 0.61
And 562 890.5 328.5 0.49
including 790 890.5 100.5 0.71
1294 252 861.9 609.9 0.47
including 268 336 68 0.95
Including 560 660 100 0.65
1299 546 1074.6 528.6 0.44
The Company was successful in starting drilling in October, two months earlier than prior seasons. In addition, the drilling has consistently achieved drill hole depths greater than 700 meters with Hole 1299 drilled to a depth of 1,075 meters. Significantly, all of the deeper drill holes ended in mineralization. Drilling will continue to focus on expanding the resource. This season''s exploration program is on track to achieve its objective of completing 15,000 meters of drilling by the end of April.
A table of all 10 drill hole assay results is provided below in Table 2. A drill hole location map (Exhibit 1) and cross sections of the Los Azules resource (Exhibits 2, 3 and 4) are provided below.
Earlier this month, the company hired BMO Capital Markets to market Los Azules.
About the Los Azules Copper Project
Los Azules is a large copper porphyry system located in western San Juan Province within a belt of porphyry copper deposits that straddles the Chilean/Argentine border. This belt contains some of the world''s largest copper deposits, including Codelco''s El Teniente and Andina mines, Anglo American''s Los Bronces mine, Antofagasta PLC''s Los Pelambres mine and Xstrata''s El Pachón project, among others. Los Azules is one of the world''s largest, highest grade, undeveloped copper-porphyry deposits not owned by a major base metal company.
The mineral resources for Los Azules were calculated in June 2012 and are summarized in the table below with a cut-off grade of 0.35% copper.
Mineral Resource
Category Tonnes
(millions) Copper
(%) Contained Copper
(MM lbs) Gold
grams/tonne Silver
Indicated 323 0.65 4.6 0.07 1.8
Inferred 948 0.52 10.8 0.06 1.8
The Argentinian provinces and the miners need to get a common-sense compromise DONE. It helps no one to drive the miners away, and it also makes no sense that provinces sitting on all this resource wealth are broke.
No one cares.
Like i said before, accompanied by "Major Drilling:" they have been drilling "deeper" then ever at Los Azules and as much focus has been at EL Gallo a siginicant amount of money has been spent at LA this pass drilling season to advance the project. It has always been thought thru surface studies that a signicant amount of copper has yet to be unveiled becuase it was extremely deep under the surface and tons of money and sophisticated equipment was required to dig that far down. Dont be surprised if they announce Los Azules infill has been significantly advanced.

Clio's Favorites: Leading Historians of the United States, 1945-2000
Clio's Favorites: Leading Historians of the United States, 1945-2000
The roll call of excellence for Clio's Favorites was established when Rutland informally polled some twenty-five historians, asking them to name the outstanding workers in the field of U.S. history since the end of World War II. Among the criteria for selection were: quality (not volume) of the historian's work; influence in the field of study; importance of his or her graduate and undergraduate teaching; and the figure's public persona as reflected by awards, honors, and involvement in public service. The historians profiled in Clio'sFavorites,,most of whom broke new ground, met and surpassed these standards. The list could have gone on, but Rutland believes these twelve represent the cream of the crop.
Just as the subject of each essay in Clio's Favorites is a remarkably distinguished historian, the authors of these twelve essays are accomplished historians themselves. Good historical writing is never outdated, Rutland argues. The extensive work of the scholars profiled here has endured and will continue to endure. Likewise, the writing in Clio's Favorites, by twelve expert historians, will survive. This book will be a lasting record of the contributions made by the best U.S. historians practicing their craft over thelast fifty years.

Wiltshire fire station recycling boosts national charity (From This Is Wiltshire)
Wiltshire fire station recycling boosts national charity
Updated 3:09pm Friday 3rd January 2014 in
Eleven recycling banks at fire stations across Wiltshire have contributed to the Fire Fighters Charity raising over £1 million in just four years.
The recycling scheme, which focuses on textiles - including unwanted clothing, shoes and household items - is managed for the charity by a consortium of textile recycling companies.
Wearable items are sent to Third World countries to help those who are experiencing extreme poverty, while unwearable items are recycled into day-to-day products such as car insulation and furniture padding.
Since its inception, the recycling scheme has grown year on year and the Fire Fighters Charity now receives an annual income of £300,000 from members of the public recycling their unwanted items.
Wiltshire Fire & Rescue Service has the charity's brightly coloured yellow clothing bins at its fire stations in Amesbury, Chippenham, Corsham, Devizes, Ludgershall, Malmesbury, Melksham, Mere, Salisbury, Warminster and Westbury.
John Parry, chief executive of the Fire Fighters Charity, said: "We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has recycled with us over the last four years – they have helped us to reach this huge landmark for income from recycling. We do, however, need people to continue to support the scheme and help us keep firefighters fit, healthy and happy so they can continue saving lives.
"It costs £9 million a year to keep the Fire Fighters Charity running and, with no Government funding, we rely completely on the donations and goodwill of our supporters."

Researchers have found that leaders who feel overwhelmed by their responsibilities lash out at others to temper their own inferiority.
They found that the combination of incompetence and empowerment brought out the worst of human nature – and led to bullying in the workplace.
The more incompetent managers thought they were the more aggressive they became to people who worked for them, the study discovered.
One boss, who felt over his head, was even prepared to to sabotage an underling's ability to win a prize.
The new study by the University of Southern California challenges previous assumptions that abusive bosses are solely driven by ambition and the need to hold onto their power.
Researchers led by Nathanael Fast, a social psychologist, conducted separate tests for the study published in the journal Psychological Science, to get to the bottom of why bosses are bullies.
To see if a bruised ego can actually cause aggression, they manipulated 90 volunteers' sense of power and self worth using tried and tested psychological techniques.
They then asked them to select a punishment to give to others who had made mistakes. Volunteers chose between horn sounds that blasted noise at the students of varying volumes varying from 10 decibels to a deafening 130 decibels.
The researchers found that volunteers who felt the most incompetent and empowered at the same time picked the loudest punishments – 71 decibels on average.
Workers who felt up to their jobs selected quieter punishments, between 55 and 62 decibels, as did those who felt a combination of incompetence and powerlessness.
During role-playing sessions, study participants who felt their egos were under threat would go so far as to needlessly sabotage an underling's chances of winning money.
Another test showed that there was a way to disarm a bullying boss – by flattering them.
Bosses who were told they were good at their jobs were less aggressive, even if they started out thinking they were not that good.
However excessive flattery — long the refuge of the frustrated subordinate — may not work in the long run because it might ultimately cause the boss "to lose touch with reality".
"Incompetence alone doesn't lead to aggression," said Serena Chen, associate professor of psychology at University of California and co-author of the study.
"It's the combination of having a high-power role and fearing that one is not up to the task that causes power holders to lash out. And our data suggest it's ultimately about self-worth."
Mr Fast said that there was never an excuse for bullying – even if it led to so called "creative tension".
He said: "Is it possible that bullying can create a culture of fear that, in some cases, leads to profits? Perhaps in the short run.
"But the psychological and organisational costs associated with this approach are not worth it as far as I'm concerned.
"There is certainly a place for calculated expressions of anger or even harshness from time to time. Sometimes that motivates people to get back on track. But there is a line between an occasional display of anger or sternness and the abusive bullying that often takes place in organisations."
He said the only way for a boss to permanently stop bullying was to either work hard enough to improve their competence or to resign.

State Department:
Options for Reducing Overseas Housing and Furniture Costs
NSIAD-98-128: Published: Jul 31, 1998. Publicly Released: Jul 31, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4128
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
GAO reviewed the practices of the private sector and other foreign governments to determine whether those practices offer the potential to reduce overseas housing costs and provide quality services for Department of State and other agencies.
GAO noted that: (1) its examination of practices in the private sector suggests that several options may exist to reduce State's overseas residential housing and furniture costs, including: (a) using relocation companies and similar service providers to search for housing and negotiate leases to reduce in-house support costs, and shift some property preparation and related maintenance expenses to landlords; (b) providing employees with housing allowances to select their own homes rather than managing and maintaining a housing pool of government leases and preassigning residences; and (c) shipping employees' household effects and/or acquiring furniture overseas as an option to operating an extensive government-buying and inventory program; (2) GAO's analysis of State's processes shows that State has not based its current approach to providing overseas residential housing and furniture on a comparative cost analysis; (3) based on GAO's analysis of selected posts, State could potentially reduce its costs by adopting some or all of these practices; (4) GAO's analysis of practices in Brussels and London showed that State's internal housing support costs are several hundred thousand dollars greater than the costs that would be incurred if homefinding services were outsourced to a relocation company; (5) such practices are potentially applicable for a large number of annual relocations that State and other agencies conduct; (6) expanding housing allowance programs consistent with practices of the private sector could also result in recurring savings, primarily by minimizing in-house support requirements; (7) private-sector practices indicate that two options should be considered for reducing costs associated with residential furniture; (8) State could ship employees' household effects as its primary means of furnishing residences; (9) actual shipping data show that State often ships nearly the same amount of employees' household effects to posts offering government furniture as it does to its unfurnished posts; (10) thus, an expansion in the number of unfurnished posts could occur with relatively minor increases in shipping costs for household effects and avoid the often significant procurement, storage, and handling costs associated with the government furniture program; (11) the second option is to give overseas posts the alternative of acquiring furniture on the local market; and (12) cost savings would potentially result from lower furniture prices and reduced shipping, inland transportation, and inventory costs.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: State disagreed with the recommendation and does not intend action.
Recommendation: The Secretary of State should direct the Under Secretary for Management to establish a pilot program for testing the practices GAO identified for leasing and furnishing of overseas residences. The pilot should be coordinated through the International Cooperative Administrative Support Services framework at the pilot posts, which provides a mechanism to fully document direct and indirect costs of alternatives and involve all key agencies operating at posts. Options that should be in the pilot include outsourcing homefinding, expanding the use of housing allowances, increasing the use of the employees' household effects, and procuring furniture locally.
Agency Affected: Department of State
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: State disagreed with the recommendation and does not intend action.
Recommendation: The Under Secretary for Management should designate specific posts for the pilot. GAO believes that the pilot should initially focus on 6-8 posts. GAO believes that good candidates include Brussels, London, Paris, the Hague, Singapore, Bangkok, San Jose, Nassau and Mexico City.
Agency Affected: Department of State: Office of the Undersecretary for Management
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: State disagreed with the recommendation and does not intend action.
Recommendation: If the pilot tests confirm the cost advantages of one or more of the practices, the Under Secretary should also establish an implementation plan for a larger roll-out of these practices.

Washington Examiner: Veterans Affairs disability case file audits show high error rates
Editor's Note: This is the second part in a series of stories from the Washington Examiner about benefit claims backlog at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
Accuracy reports have been manipulated by the Department of Veterans Affairs to make it appear employees make fewer mistakes on claims for disability payments than they actually do, the Washington Examiner has found.
Audits of individual case files by the agency's inspector general consistently show error rates on disability claims much higher than those claimed in official reports.
The IG also found the agency's accuracy gauge is easily manipulated by VA officials seeking to improve their apparent performance.
The pressure to process benefits claims cases as quickly as possible creates an incentive to "cook the books," according to veterans advocates and the VA's own internal investigators.
"VA is notorious for flat-out cooking the books," said Paul Sullivan, a former VA official who is now a board member of the group Veterans for Common Sense. "The error rate is under-reported and it's intentional. VA is trying to hide VA's blunders and mistakes."

Thunder Notebook: Russell Westbrook dunked by Rudy Fernandez
DURANT PROTECTING SHOULDERKevin Durant injured his left shoulder Friday against Detroit. He had an X-ray before Sunday's game against Miami, but team officials are listing the injury as a contusion. Durant played with a padded undershirt beneath his jersey, protecting both shoulders. He cut off the pads on the right shoulder at the start of the second quarter.
THUNDER OUTHUSTLEDCoach Scott Brooks and several players said the effort was "OK" but gave credit to the Heat for playing harder. "We had energy in spurts," Durant said. "The difference was we had energy the entire game against the previous two teams (Utah and Detroit). Tonight, we brought it in the third quarter and some of the fourth, but we need to bring it all game."
LONG-RANGE TROUBLEMiami tied a season high by hitting 11 3-pointers. That might be a normal game for Orlando and San Antonio, but when the Heat is scoring behind the arc, it's usually a long night.
MLK ACTIVITIESThunder players will be involved in Martin Luther King Jr. Day events throughout the day. Staff members will carry a Thunder MLK banner in the silent march this morning. Chucky Atkins and TV analyst Grant Long will represent the team at the bell ringing ceremony at the Oklahoma History Center. D.J. White, Kyle Weaver and Westbrook will ride in a horse-drawn carriage during the parade this afternoon. Damien Wilkins and his foundation also will be represented. The Thunder drum line and Thunder girls will be in the parade.
FAST BREAK...Nick Collison, who regained five pounds Saturday and Sunday by eating pizza, returned to the starting lineup after missing one game with the stomach flu. ... Joe Smith (cyst on his knee) sat out the fourth consecutive game. ... A group of 100 University of Texas alumni from the OKC area posed for a picture with Durant on the court after the game.

More than a coincidence?December 29,2012
More than a coincidence?
Is it just pure coincidence that Hurricane Sandy and Sandy Hook Elementary School both involved people being killed in America, or is there something more sinister about it? The name Sandy is what alarms me. Was this awful scene in Connecticut the work of a madman who stopped taking his anti-psychotic meds and had access to guns, or something more evil? He was taking meds for a time.
Right after the Hurricane Sandy Relief Concert the shootings in Connecticut happened. It may be mere speculation, but maybe someone should check it out. Terrorists are getting more clever these days and dont always take credit for what they have done. Yes, gun control is needed. As Wyatt Earp used to post at the town limits: Check your guns with the sheriff or go to jail.
Sure, it was Dodge City in 1880, but so what? Things are just as violent now as back then. Gun nuts need to turn their guns in to the sheriff for safekeeping, and we dont need them running around with M-16 assault rifles or other automatic weapons. This isnt Vietnam. Maybe they need a deer rifle, but check it in with Marshal Earp or get thrown in the slammer. We all need to be more careful and watch out for possible terrorist situations and gun nuts.
Peace, brother.

Engineers Suspect Diesel Fuel in Collapse of 7 World Trade Center
Published: November 29, 2001
(Page 2 of 2)
"The fuel absolutely could be a factor," said Silvian Marcus, executive vice president for the Cantor Seinuk Group and a structural engineer involved in the original design of the building, which was completed in 1987. But he added, "The tanks may have accelerated the collapse, but did not cause the collapse."
Because of those doubts, engineers hold open the possibility that the collapse had other explanations, like damage caused by falling debris or another source of heat.
The fuel tanks were not the only highly flammable materials in the building. But while some engineers have speculated that a high-pressure gas main ruptured and caught fire, there was none in the area, said David Davidowitz, vice president of gas engineering at Consolidated Edison. The building was served only by a four-inch, low-pressure line for the building's cafeteria, Mr. Davidowitz said.
The mayor's command bunker, built in 1998, included electrical generators on the seventh floor, where there was a small fuel tank, said Jerome M. Hauer, director of the mayor's Office of Emergency Management from 1996 to 2000. That tank was fed by a tank containing thousands of gallons of diesel fuel on a lower floor, he said.
Francis E. McCarton, a spokesman for the emergency management office, confirmed that assessment. "We did have a diesel tank in the facility," he said. "Yes, it was used for our generating system."
The manager of the building when it collapsed, Walter Weems, said the larger tank sat on a steel-and-concrete pedestal on the second floor and held 6,000 gallons of diesel fuel. He said an even larger cache, four tanks containing a total of 36,000 gallons of diesel fuel, sat just below ground level in the loading dock near the southwest corner of the building.
"I'm sure that with enough heat it would have burned," Mr. Hauer said of the diesel. "The question is whether the collapse caused the tank to rupture, or whether the material hitting the building caused the tank to rupture and enhance the fire."
Falling debris also caused major structural damage to the building, which soon began burning on multiple floors, said Francis X. Gribbon, a spokesman for the Fire Department. By 11:30 a.m., the fire commander in charge of that area, Assistant Chief Frank Fellini, ordered firefighters away from it for safety reasons.
A combination of an uncontrolled fire and the structural damage might have been able to bring the building down, some engineers said. But that would not explain steel members in the debris pile that appear to have been partly evaporated in extraordinarily high temperatures, Dr. Barnett said.
"Any structure anywhere in the world, if you put it in these conditions, it will not stand," Mr. Marcus said. "The buildings are not designed to be a torch."

The Atlanta Falcons have the best record (6-0) in the NFL, but they're also leading the league in a dubious category.
The Falcons have dropped a league-high 16 passes, according to ESPN Stats & Information. They were tied for the league lead with the Saints at 15 last week, but New Orleans had a bye. The Saints are still No. 2 with 15 team drops.
The Buccaneers are tied for No. 20 with nine drops and the Panthers are tied for No. 27 with six drops.
Julio Jones has been Atlanta's biggest offender. He's tied for No. 2 in the league with five drops. Tampa Bay running back Doug Martin is one of those players tied with Jones.
New Orleans' Marques Colston and Jimmy Graham are among a group of players tied for No. 6 with four drops each.
On the positive side, Tampa Bay's Vincent Jackson and New Orleans' Devery Henderson are among a group of 25 players with a 100-percent catch rate (no drops) and Atlanta's Roddy White, who led the league in drops last year is right behind them at 97.4 percent. White has dropped only one pass while being targeted 51 times and coming up with 37 catches.

Since the late 1980s "globalization" has been a buzzword in the Japanese media. 1 Japan is said to be "globalizing" in all respects, but, above all, in its economic sphere. The greatest proponent of this idea is no doubt Kenichi Ohmae (1987, 1995), who has written numerous books on the subject. While Japan's globalization in the economic sense has been widely discussed, Japan's social and cultural globalization has not been a topic of much discussion so far. This volume addresses these much neglected aspects of globalization of Japan.
"Globalization" has displaced "internationalization," which was popular in the 1970s and 1980s. This displacement signals an important shift in the perception of the positioning of Japan's worldwide economic expansion and related overseas developments. Internationalization implies a relationship between two or more nations: a minimum of two nations can engage in "international" relations. Indeed, when the term internationalization became popular in the 1970s and the 1980s, the reference was usually to Japan relating to one or another country. For example, when Osaka established a sister-city relation with San Francisco or when Nepal and Japan engaged in a cultural exchange program, it was a case of internationalization.
"Globalization," on the other hand, implies simultaneous extension and expansion in all directions. At least in intent, the term implies that Japan is extending its interests all over the world in a network (Katzenstein and Shiraishi 1997). If Japan was simply having an association with one or two countries, it would not warrant the term. "Globalization" as a concept, indeed, designates the empirical reality of Japan's common presence throughout most parts of the world. The appellation is an ex post facto affirmation of a reality that has existed since at least the 1970s.
What is the theoretical relevance of the endeavor undertaken in this volume? Why do we need to examine Japan's globalization? Let me offer two major reasons. One is the ethnocentrism of the received globalization theories of such well-known scholars as Arjun Appadurai (1996), Peter Beyer (1994), Roland Robertson (1992), Immanuel Wallerstein (1974), and Malcom Waters (1995). Analyzing the theories offered by these scholars, one is left with a strong impression that there is only one center of globalization and that this

We've all been in some crappy relationships. But our current relationship with the concept of ''political leader'' has got to take the ''crappy relationship'' cake. Like desperate, low self-esteem females of child-bearing age, we are revering and accepting right bozos because we no longer believe that we'll either find or deserve something better.
The revelation last week by Tony Abbott that he can't always speak ''gospel truth'' exposed the man, in my opinion, as a goose. But more shocking than this was that some fellow Australians not only seemed to think his utterance acceptable but actually quite endearing. What?
''Oh at least he's being honest about his failings.'' (Um, wouldn't it be better if he didn't have this failing in the first place?) ''All he said is that he doesn't work well under pressure.'' (Oh, well lucky then the gig of leading the nation is not dissimilar to having a massage.) ''But normal people always say things that they don't mean.'' (Do they? Is that the norm? I actually doubt it because most people have a moral, ethical and social compass that doesn't vacillate according to their blood pressure.)
If the true mettle of a man is seen when under duress then our politicians are showing their mettle is silly putty.
I'm a swinging voter, I think everyone should be, but surely there is one consistent rule of politics no matter what the party: that our leader should be someone of great vision, charisma, intellect and heart. A prime minister is a role model and should lead as the parent of this nation, but each of the crop of leaders we've got at the moment is behaving more like the child.
The pain of not coming out
Isn't it ironic that at the same time Abbott is being applauded for declaring he doesn't always tell the truth, David Campbell is being vilified for not telling the truth. (A personal truth he possibly hadn't even told himself until now.)
A friend of mine announced he was gay by marching at Mardi Gras under a sign that read ''Mum, there's something I forgot to tell you''. Another friend's father was so happy his son ''came out'' he had it printed on the family Christmas card (PS. Jason is gay!).
For whatever reason, some, like David Campbell, have not been able to make such a pronouncement. An older lesbian chum of mine has never told her parents, not because she is deceitful or ashamed but because she fears such a revelation will break their hearts. Sadly, the result of being forced to live this lie is that my friend's heart is permanently broken.
Censorship of the internet is wrong
Coincidentally, the Sydney Writers' Festival has again reminded us of the power of words. It also caused me to consider how the symbol ''x'' no longer means a kiss in modern communication and has become a form of punctuation.
I thought this while waiting to attend a panel on internet censorship and receiving an email alerting me to an ''x'' signed Facebook message from a friend. This friend is the most unemotional individual I know. I call him Robot and often wonder if he learnt how to be a human by watching a video. But the uncharacteristic passion he exhibited in his anti-censorship Facebook message, coupled with the commonsense expressed by Markus Westbury on the festival panel, has me now writing a letter to Senator Stephen Conroy to oppose his proposal for internet censorship.
It's my understanding it gives too much non-transparent power to the government, can incorrectly target the innocent, actually inhibit the tracing of those undermining our societal values and be circumvented with the technical know-how of a child. Oh, I'll probably seal that letter with a kiss, but I'll be using it as a form of punctuation.
Hats off to song and dance cats
Last week when it was raining cats and dogs I went to the opening night of Cats. Although this multi-award winning musical has been performed for nearly 30 years in more than 20 languages around the world, this was my first Cats experience. How is this possible? I think it may have something to do with the fact that I've never really liked cats and I'm not sure I like musicals.
Having said that, a couple of years ago I did ''perform'' as the narrator in The Rocky Horror Show and this experience gave me some insight into the extraordinary qualities required to successfully carve a career in musical theatre. Known as ''triple threats'', such performers must be able to sing, dance and act. I possess none of these qualities and I now know I also possess none of the qualities required to be a reviewer because, while I endorse the talent and execution of this production, I can't for the life of me understand why anyone would have written the show in the first place.
Have you ever found yourself wondering if you have inadvertently entered a parallel universe where you have no understanding of what's going on? It happened to me when I drank kava, when I regained consciousness after a motorbike accident in Thailand, listening to my ex-husband analyse our marriage and while I watched Cats.
Perhaps my expectations were wrong - you know, looking for a plot or story - but I'm gobsmacked that such a bizarre concept as a musical based on some T. S. Eliot cat poems has proven to be such a commercial success. Fifteen minutes into the production I wondered if someone had slipped something into my drink. I then realised I didn't have a drink and considered that this may have been the problem. So ignore me and pop along because 65 million people have seen Cats worldwide and I ain't no reviewer.
Bit of lippy for a good cause
Clearly I'm a bit grumpy, possibly because a friend told me this morning that if I'd bought shares in Apple instead of spending $5000 on my first Apple computer I would now have $350,000. To my credit I have tried to be kind since hearing this and did give some coins as usual to a local homeless man - though I fear I perhaps ruined the moment by asking for a receipt. This Wednesday I'll be encouraging kindness and generosity by wearing red lipstick on World MS (multiple sclerosis) Day and donating to the campaign at www.kissgoodbyetoms.org.au (where receipts are given, by the way.)
Gretel's new book, I Love You Zelda Bloo, is not about cats.

Well there is value in simplicity, or perceived simplicity...
One thing you are going about all wrong is how you are attempting to go about accenting elements...
I quickly hacked this up for someone a few days ago when I was attempting to explain the "Cascading" part of Cascading Style Sheets, but it also serves as a good example of accenting. Do you see how simple the elements in this page look? And how they change when you click on one or another? What about the visual cues? when mousing over elements or clicking?
No matter how complex the interface or backend work, a good UI can make it look simple. (Which granted, this is...)
For example, this is the layout of one of my previous projects: (Somewhat outdated shot with junk test information.)
Notice how elements are laid out? Spaced? Separated? (Very different from spaced.) Accented? Contrasted?
When you design something you need to draw attention away from the UI, because the best UIs are the ones that don't get in the way. You can't rush these things, it takes time to make a UI that both appears good and is usable.

I learned a lot of life lessons here. There were a lot of bad and a lot of good at this school. Overall, I learned a great deal from my extremely knowledgeable professors. But I only had a professor for about 3 classes my whole freshman year. I had graduate students for most of my classes. Having a graduate student inexperienced at teaching didn't help me much at most of my subjects. That is why my rating in learned a lot is only 3 stars instead of 5, the graduate students teach many freshman subjects there. Personally, I learn better...

Great school for anyone coming from a small high school that is scared of the transition from high school to a big university! Small to medium class sizes that don't overrule you and allow for you to get the best college learning experience. The most friendly and helpful instructors I have seen! All my teachers were always offering extra time to help any students struggling in the class! Feels like a small school, but you still get all the great aspects of being a division 1 school. The community around the school is fantastic and super supportive of the college. Tons of things to do outside in Laramie a great school for anyone who loves the outdoors! I would recommend this school to anyone, and I have loved every minute of being here so far and look forward to many more great times!Read More
