Full SubmissionPosition Paper Draft of China Youth Climate Action Network Towards Rio+20 Introduction 20 years after the Rio Earth Summit, we are still far away from achieving many goals and targets that have been set by world leaders. Rio+20 now is of vital importance to international development cooperation. We, the Chinese youth, recognize the two themes that will be focus of the conference are: (1) Green Economy in the Context of Sustainable Development, (2) Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development. At the same time, we would like to stress our unique position and standpoint. As China Youth, we represent the voice of China and developing countries ? we demand all the stakeholders not to overlook the social pillar raised 20 years ago while pursuing the goal of green economy today. For developing countries, green economy can never be achieved before poverty eradication and sustainable development. On the other hand, as China Youth, we represent the voice of youth; it is we, the youth, who will lead the new era in effecting change, establishing economic structures and the preservation of our natural environment. We, the Chinese youth, propose the following challenges - Proposing new goals in green economy may undermine the initial goals in sustainable development
- Lacking incentives for public and private sectors to create green jobs
- Lacking competitiveness in green products and green technology among developing countries
- Emerging uncertainty in green jobs elasticity comparing to conventional jobs
- Entailing jobs in certain conventional sectors due to a transition and adjustment to newly-invested green jobs
- Remaining uncertain that green economy would provide enough jobs and incentive to take those jobs2
- Failing in deeper environmental decision making when youth continuously participate in global environmental forum
- Lacking technological and financial cooperation within developing countries and between developed countries and developing countries
- Motivating international governments to comply to existed agreements and protocols
- Changing climate poses risks to marginal groups We, as youth of a developing country, request the global public sector to - Support scientific researches on sustainable agriculture. This can bring potential social impacts and green economy packages for different groups of countries.
- Promote freer trade, especially in environmentally friendly technologies or services that can benefit developing countries.
- Secure large-scale employment. Put in place social safety nets that support incomes. Limit the long-term negative impacts of unemployment through providing access to education and retraining of workers in developing countries.
- Emphasize private sector and regulatory mechanism. In addition to large corporations, private sector can contribute to green economy through environmentally conscious investment as well.
- Increase transparency of information disclosure. Corporate Social Responsibility Report (CSR) discloses information of social/environmental impacts caused by investments. Transparency of CSR report remains to be improved.
- Provide financial support for marginal communities, whose basic rights and interests are likely to be affected by economic practices.
- Acknowledge youth?s active role in strengthening civil society?s participation of national and international decision-making.
- Provide platforms for youth to speak their voice from schools, local communities, and relevant governmental agencies to international conventions, (with special focus on bringing collective voice from youth of developing countries to global communities).
- Educate youth with green concept. The knowledge of green economy, social responsibility and creativity prepares future generation for the global challenge.
- Cooperate internationally of technology development. Sharing talent and technology among countries, and professional exchange is necessary.
- Undertake quantified emission reduction. Support developing countries in countering climate change by transferring to them funds, technologies and personnel with stability and continuity.
- Treat GHGs reduction not as means to confine the growth neither of developing countries, nor as disguises to trade Protectionism, but as the common goal of the entire human race.
- Support further solidarity and cooperation within developing countries, including the emerging economies that contribute to a rapid augmentation of carbon but still have low per-capita emission, and the Small Islands countries and the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) that are most vulnerable to climate change despite their extremely minor GHG- accumulation responsibility.
- Encourage fast developing countries to take international responsibility, to devote to their national commitments and to take the leading positions in promoting renewable energy instead of simply waiting for financial or technological transfer, considering the challenges, even opportunities, ahead of green economy trend.
- Call for progressive co-striving for climate justice, which should be one of our priorities associated with the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that officially addresses poverty eradication and environmental protection, in the context of the rich-poor gap being widened in different parts of the world.
- Anticipate an amelioration of domestic policy-making in each developing country, including a better environment-related legislative system, an improved monitoring and feedback procedure, a harmonious balance between economic growth and societal progress, and a strengthened public participation.
- Initiate youth NGOs and young representatives among developing countries, educational agencies to gather together during COP negotiations and Rio+20 to launch the Basic Four Youth Press Conference in the standpoint of young generation of these four countries.
- Actively seek assistance from developed countries and cooperate with each other in sharing scientific knowledge, technological equipment and experienced personnel in order to improve the efficiency in GHGs emission reduction We, as youth of a developing country, request the global private sector to - Support green employment. This is another form of green investment where a long-term sustainable economic cycle is embedded
- Provide green job training. Advanced education should provide professional training including green technology development and green management
- Pay more attention to the promotion of adaptive capacity in sectors and groups that are more sensitive and more vulnerable to the risks posed by climate change than others, such as agriculture, fisheries and many other components that constitute the livelihood of rural populations We, as youth of in a global community, request the global youth to - Encouraging youth participation both in national public policy implementation and inspection at local communities and in issues that are underrepresented by government policies.
- Encourage youth?s potential as effective agents to raise awareness and take actions towards eradicating poverty, promoting green technology transfer, innovating solutions to address environment, social, economic challenges.
- Involve youth in the design of and fund learning opportunities in national education system of environmental issues, in relationship to their economic, social, and political implications.
- Facilitate mutual learning of youth populations from different parts of the world, at local, national and international level by Internet and mass media.
- Increase youth responsibility not only as channels but also as missionaries between developing countries and developed countries in the process of technological, social, economical and environmental communication and negotiation.

Eating to Live on the Outside: Quintessence
I need a break! Good thing it's a holiday. And luckily, Eating to Live on the Outside is staying close to home today. Just a quick train ride to Quintessence in New York City!
Yeah, Quintessence looks great. Their food is raw and full of cool fruits and vegetables, like endive, coconut and avocado. Here's a first draft of food I might order:
Stuffed Endive
- Cashew cheese folded with chopped scallion in endive leaves; looks good, cashews are my favorite nut!
Stuffed Fofu
- Mock tofu stuffed with Nappa cabbage, shitake, seaweed and scallion marinated in cilantro sauce and topped with shitake mushrooms; plenty of awesome veggies here.
Greek Salad
- Romaine lettuce, onions, kalamata olives, tomatoes, fresh mint, oregano, basil and tossed with lemon juice and an olive-pumpkin-flax oil blend; I dig it, but oil on the side.
Sesame Sea Salad
- Sea veggies with chunks of cucumber, tomato and topped with sesame dressing and sesame seeds; provided it's not salty, I'd give it a try.
Basic Bowl
- Mixed greens, kale, tomato, cucumber, sunflower sprouts, onion and your choice of dressing; the pineapple anise dressing sounds pretty good.
Caesar Salad with a Twist
- Romaine lettuce, tomato, crunchy cucumber, avocado cubes, tossed in our pignola miso Caesar dressing and topped with caramelized onions, black pepper and gamasio; looks interesting.
Endive Salad with Scallion "Crème Cheese"
- Endive, celery, capers and kalamata olives with sweet apple chunks and caramelized walnuts, tossed with lemon vinaigrette and topped with scallion cream cheese; sounds tasty.
Apple Coconut Salad with Lemongrass Dressing
- Green apple, coconut, basil, ginger and onion with a lemongrass grape seed oil dressing; again, oil on the side.
Arugula Sprout with Caramelized Walnuts
- Baby arugula, sunflower sprouts, mixed baby sprouts, goji berries and cherry tomato tossed with a sweet-spiced fig cardamom dressing topped with caramelized walnuts; hooray, goji berries!
Green Garden Soup
- Cucumber tomato, red bell pepper, lemon and dill; hopefully it's not too salty.
Creamy Asparagus Zucchini Soup
- Creamy soup with rich asparagus and finished with caramelized onions and black pepper; I love asparagus!
Thai Lemongrass Soup
- Lemongrass broth with Thai herbs, marinated shitake, scallion and Nappa cabbage; looks pretty good.
Wow! Picking something was a tough decision, but I'd go with the Arugula Sprout with Caramelized Walnuts. I love the variety of ingredients the goji berries seal the deal.
Now, I've been too busy lately, but when the dust clears. I'll REALLY pay Quintessence a visit. In the meantime drop a comment and tell me what you'd order.

Hand Tools and Safety Products
TOOLS OF THE TRADE and THE JOURNAL OF LIGHT CONSTRUCTION (JLC) deliver hands-on tool test results and reviews to construction professionals nationwide. Luckily, the publications are also sister magazines of PUBLIC WORKS. Below are a few hand tools chosen by TOOLS Executive Editor/JLC Products Editor Michael Springer.
For in-depth reviews of power tools by TOOLS OF THE TRADE, visit the article links section.
Long, heavy building materials can be difficult to lift and maneuver around jobsites, especially by hand. The Blue Ox easily hauls up to 600 lbs. while keeping the suspended load low and stable. The attached log tongs will grab logs, poles, timbers, and wood beams, or they can be replaced with a chain (included) to handle steel I-beams or bundles of pipe or rebar. To lift the load, stand the Blue Ox up on end, attach the chain or tongs at the load's midpoint, then pull the handle down. Action Manufacturing Systems. www.actionequip.net.
Bullet Mole makes easy work of boring utility access holes under sidewalks or driveways. Using a sledgehammer or demo hammer, pound the ground-boring probe through the dirt; its hardened steel tip breaks through rocks and roots, leaving a smooth hole for small-diameter conduit or pipe. Dimension Tools LLC. www.bulletmole.com.
The DURAdjust brick trowel has a dial that lets the user adjust the handle's diameter throughout its length, from just below the smallest on the market to just about the largest, for personalized comfort. Changing the diameter throughout a day of use helps decrease arm and hand fatigue. It is available on 19 different trowels, and is made with the same high-quality bumper material as the standard DuraSoft handle. Marshalltown Co. www.marshalltown.com.
Putting a temporary fence around your jobsite can mean pounding in a lot of T-posts. Big Bob T-Post Driver/Puller makes the job easier and safer. One part of the two-piece design stays securely on the post while you hammer down the 16-lb. sliding handle, driving the post into the ground. To remove the post, tighten the attached clamping bolt and pound up. Lobo Products LLC. www.loboproducts.com.
The Total Control Elite Demolition Hammer is a sledgehammer with a difference: One of the striking faces tapers down to about 3/8 inch thick for rough prying — or for concentrating the striking force along a line to break concrete more easily. The fiberglass- reinforced handle has a soft rubberized grip surface and a flared end for greater control. Jackson Professional Tools. www.jacksonprofessional.com.
Noisebuster safety earmuffs reduce low-frequency noise — from engines, generators, blowers, vacuums, fans, pumps — that conventional passive earmuffs can't handle. These active noise reduction (ANR) earmuffs combine ANSI-rated 26NRR passive earmuff protection with ANR electronics that deliver 20 dB of low-frequency noise attenuation. Features include soft, pliable ear cushions, an adjustable headband, and an audio input jack and audio cable that can be used with a portable audio player for listening at a safer, A 10% discount is offered for Web-based orders through November using Coupon Code CON010PR. Pro Tech Technologies Inc. www.noisebuster.net.
The TUFF line of personal air-sampling pumps protects users against dangerous airborne particulates such as lead, mold, and asbestos. The pumps incorporate a double-acting diaphragm pump mechanism with precise control that enables real-time flow control and stability across a wide range of sampling media. An intuitive user interface displays real-time flow, samples volume and run duration, battery gauge, and an alarm for flow or battery fault conditions. Casella USA. www.casellausa.com.
Ideal for confined workspaces, the GP8/GP8H portable gasoline air ventilation blower removes toxic and noxious atmospheres around construction sites. It aids in detecting sewer line leaks and provides fresh air for personnel inside tanks and vaults. Its cast-aluminum housing offers superior resistance to external field damage. Manual speed control allows the operator to vary blower volume as needed. General Equipment Co. www.generalequip.com.
Caterpillar equipment users can access low-cost online environmental health and safety training. Categories include construction/heavy equipment training; OSHA essentials; and driver safety. The site also provides free OMM excerpts, multimedia pieces, and toolbox talks on various safety topics. Caterpillar Inc. www.safety.cat.com.
Combining the comfort of a nylon or a poly/cotton base material with the functionality of a dipped glove, PosiGrip gloves provide extra grip on wet or oily materials and better surface adhesion on dry applications. They're available in sizes from XS to XXL. West Chester Holdings. www.west-chester.net.
Snow insurance for municipalities helps protect against unbudgeted costs due to unexpected snowfall. Seasonal snow accumulation, snow event, and unique snow coverage policies (i.e., weekends/holidays) are available. Vortex Insurance Agency LLC. www.vortexinsuranceagency.com.
Traffic Logix Interlocking Traffic Calming units connect to each other and bolt to the road surface. Simple removal and reinstallation is available. The rubber, modular units can be used to construct speed humps, speed tables, and speed cushions. Traffic Logix. www.trafficlogix.com.
The 36-3 high-flow, high-efficiency sand media filter — for general filtration applications in which sediment removal is the primary goal — filters up to 425 gpm while operating at pressures up to 100 psi. The AC- and DC-powered automatic filter backwash controller allows for timed pressure differential or manual backwash intervals. It may be used as a standalone filtration system for dewatering and can clean water prior to offsite discharge. Rain For Rent. www.rainforrent.com.

The Beehive Statesmen have been Utah's go-to barbershop chorus since 1949, and their harmonies have only meshed better with time. These crooners are holding their annual Spring concert on Friday, May 4 and Saturday, May 5 at the Utah Cultural Celebration Center. The show begins at 7:07 p.m. on both nights.
The non-profit's concert features classic songs like "On a Wonderful Day" and "Shenandoah," with musical stylings from the whole chorus—roughly 40 men—and individual quartets. To top everything off, the Beehive Satesmen is bringing a few special guests into the mix. Reprise, the 2004 National Collegiate Champions, is giving a reunion performance. Dr. Jerold Ottley, former director of the Tabernacle Choir, will serve as the MC and a guest director.
The theme of the evening, "I Believe in Music," reflects the motto of the whole group. The Beehive Statesmen work to "keep the whole world singing," and that's exactly what they'll do at their annual concert.
Tickets are $10 individually and $25 for families.

Johnson City, Tenn. (August 16, 2002)- Head coach Deane Webb and the 2002 East Tennessee State volleyball team has begun practice for the upcoming season.
Webb, who enters his second season at ETSU, led the Buccaneers to a second place finish in the Southern Conference last year after compiling a 20-6 record (15-5 SoCon).
Webb has lost a few seniors from last year's roster, including SoCon Player of the Year, Carey Cavanaugh, but the Bucs are extremely optimistic about their chances for a conference title given the leadership and experience of the returning players with the addition of a highly talented freshman class. �
The Bucs' first matches of the 2002 season are right around the corner, when the team travels to Charlotte, N.C. for the Spring Hill Suites Invitational on Aug. 30-31.

The Lowdown on Mercury and Health Part IV
In Part III, Yvonne Niedstadt discussed how to rid your body of mercury and now in Part IV we explore four additional methods:
Thiols: The thiol group including alpha lipoic acid have a high affinity for heavy metals. Proteins containing cysteine will bind metals such as mercury, lead and cadmium tightly. Here is a very comprehensive article on heavy metal detox from tuberose.com.
Sweat it out: Saunas, especially the infared type can help remove toxins including metals via perspiration. Dr. Leonard Smith M.D. has seen mercury levels (as measured in the blood) drop by 400% in less than a month with TheraSauna. And Dr. Sherry Roberts M.D. swears by Thermal Life. Unlike regular sauanas, infared 9the light just below or infra to red), heats through conversion without heating the air in between. In other words, it heats the objects, not the air in the room. This radiant energy heats the body directly and provides a purifying sweat at much lower temperatures (110F-130F versus 180F-235F).
Try Homeopathics: Try NDF Nanocolliodal Detox Factors. Independent lab results showed elimination of toxic metals, including 56% reduction in mercury in six weeks. Dr. Gabriel Cousins MD reports dramatic clinical results. Produced by BioRay, Inc.
Check out Chlelation Therapy: Chelate is a Greek word to bind with protein. Although considered controversial, chelators EDTA and DmPS have been used for many years for binding and pulling toxic metals out of the blood stream including mercury and lead. The main caution is in those with damaged kidneys. Having said that, the American Journal of Kidney Disease 2002 Jul: 40 (1); 51-8 published an article entitled "Lead mobilization during ca EDTA-chelation therapy in treatment of chronic lead poisoning." So, even the kidney specialists recognize the value of this treatment when treating lead poisoning. It is just administered more slowly in those with kidney woes. For referral to physicians who use Chelatin therapy, contact the American College of Advancement of Medicine.

Photographer Finally Takes Down Pictures of Bombing Suspect to Stop Theft
Johannes Hirn, the former Boston University journalism student who shot a photo essay about one of the Boston bombing suspects, has removed the images from a PhotoShelter website and is referring licensing requests to Barcroft Media.
The images, comprising a 2010 photo essay called "Will Box for Passport," feature the so-called "black hat" Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev. The story is about Tsarnaev's bid to become an Olympic boxer, and shows him training in a mixed martial arts gym in Boston.
The story was published in 2010 in a graduate student magazine of Boston University's College of Communication, where Hirn was a student. Hirn shot the story as a final assignment for a photojournalism course he took while at BU, according to an NPPA report.
Tsarnaev was killed last night in a shoot-out with police. After he was identified, news outlets found Hirn's photo essay. Reporters used Hirn's photo captions to profile Tsarnaev. A number of media outlets have also copied and distributed Hirn's photos without permission before he removed them from the Photoshelter site.
"We have seen multiple outlets lift screenshots of the images, but the hi res images are not accessible through PhotoShelter without direct permission from the photographer," Andrew Fingerman of Photoshelter told PDN just before Hirn took the pictures off the site.
Hirn announced that Barcroft Media–a UK-based licenser of editorial content–is the exclusive distributor of the images. He also announced, "I am not available for interview or comment."
Hirn earned a PhD in particle physics before attending BU, where he earned a degree in science journalism, according to the NPPA report. He now works in communications for an astrophysics lab at the University of Toronto.

Authorities are investigating after a man was reportedly shot by a hitchhiker in Little Rock.
Police say a 22-year-old man picked up a stranger late Saturday and gave him a ride to a convenience store. Little Rock television station KTHV reports (http://is.gd/kcxnwY ) that police say the hitchhiker then pulled a gun and demanded money from the driver.
A police report says the driver was shot in the chest and arm, but his injuries are not life-threatening.
Authorities say surveillance video shows the hitchhiker running away after the shooting. Police say they're still searching for the man, who faces charges of aggravated robbery and first-degree battery if apprehended.

ZF-2870: HtmlList doesn't pass on the escape parameter for sub lists
The HtmlList helper accepts an 'escape' parameter to determine whether or not to escape given list before rendering. But when it recursively calls itself to render sub lists, it doesn't pass on the escape parameter so sub lists are always escaped.
Duplicity of ZF-2527
It is already fixed in 1.5.0RC3 and in trunk.
Sorry, it was a mistake, I got confused with ZF-2527.
This is not fixed.
The code between 58-69 need some comments, It is not 100%-ly clean; especially:
58: foreach ($items as $item) { if (!is_array($item)) { if ($escape) $item = $this->view->escape($item); $list .= '' . $item . ''; } else { if (5 < strlen($list)) { $list = substr($list, 0, strlen($list) - 5) . $this->htmlList($item, $ordered, $attribs, $escape) . ''; } else { $list .= '' . $this->htmlList($item, $ordered) . ''; } } } ```
It is related, but doesn't duplicate it.
The Unit test for this item fails to notice this bug because all the item arrays build there all start with a single value, the issue only occurs when the first item in the array is also an array.
Issue ZF-2527 has a diff attached that did properly fix the problem. Line 66 needs to have the attribs and escape added.
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Resetting 'fix version priority' and 'fix version' to be re-evaluated for next release.
Scheduling for next mini release.
Resolved in trunk and 1.5 release branch

Author Hollis Seamon will sign copies of her new young adult book, "Somebody Up There Hates You," at Browseabout Books in Rehoboth Beach on Sunday.
"Somebody Up There Hates You" will appeal to the audience of John Green's acclaimed book "The Fault in Our Stars." The book is about two rebellious, terminally-ill teens who fall in love while in a hospice unit. But the novel really stands apart because of the main character, Richie's, unique, vivacious and raw first-person narrative. "Somebody Up There Hates You" was inspired by Seamon's son who spent a great deal of time in the hospital when growing up.
The book signing will be held at Browseabout Books at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The book will be available for $16.95. For more information, visit browseaboutbooks.com or call 226-2665.

Hello, I'm Sera. Welcome to my candy blog.
In case you haven't guessed, I'm head-over-heels in love with confectionaries. It all started with my unusually large sweet-tooth, paired with an adventurous palate, and a need to document it all.
If you ever have any suggestions, ideas (or both!) I'm always open to them. You can reach me at: sera (at) thecandyenthusiast.com
NOTE: Please, please, please do not take any of the photos on this site. I spent a lot of time and energy taking the photos myself and I wish for them to remain original to the blog. Thank you.
My goal as The Candy Enthusiast is to try everything once so you don't have to. I think that's pretty sweet, don't you?

Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by TXConnection Absolutely Beautiful Exactly what we wanted, looks perfect in the room. Shipping was "very" quick and assembly was easy, took less than 30mins. It is a little darker than in the photos but again, we couldn't be happier with it. March 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by mandislu So unique and beautiful! Bought this piece slightly hesitant there were no reviews however kept going back to it after looking at other options elsewhere. Purchased during a 25% off sale making it $300 instead of $400. Was delivered in 4 days after ordering! I do recommend having another person there to help. It took me about an hour and a half but part of that was because one of the pre-drilled holes was slightly misaligned for the screw causing me to undo a couple other screws that already came screwed in on that piece. After figuring how to adjust that, it was a breeze. Probably only take 30-45 minutes with two people. Note that it will be a little wobbly until you put on the back piece that seems sort of flimsy but when put on and screwed in, COMPLETELY gets rid of any wobbles and makes for a sturdy and GORGEOUS piece of furniture. Could even use as a sofa table or accent piece for a room. We will be using it as a TV stand and chose it because we have little ones so hopefully they will not mess with the sliding doors yet our equipment will be protected and a remote should still work with the slots in the doors. SUPER happy with this purchase! October 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Matsue solid attractive furniture A nice solid piece, easy to put together and attractive. Finish is pretty well done, but nothing amazing. December 3, 2013

In a sleek home office, an impeccably-dressed man in his 30s sits at a desk, presses play on his laptop's video recorder and begins talking to the camera, leaving a time capsule for his unborn child. "Hi, it's me, Bryan Collins. But you won't know me as that—you'll know me as 'dad,'" he says, pausing briefly as tears form in his eyes. "This video is to show you how desperately you were wanted, and how much we love you. You're our baby. We are just so excited to meet you."
Offended? The execs over at KSL were. Earlier this fall, as the networks rolled out new primetime shows, Utah's NBC affiliate—owned by the Mormon Church's Bonneville International Corp.—passed on airing The New Normal, a sitcom about a gay couple adopting a baby. The plot revolves around two men forging a family relationship with a surrogate mother, her 9-year-old daughter and her hate-filled grandmother, a flagrant bigot who belches out venom-laced stereotypes about blacks, Mexicans, gays, Jews, the handicapped—just about everyone except perfect white folks.
The content, KSL deemed, wasn't a good fit for its brand or its viewers. "This program simply feels inappropriate on several dimensions, especially during family viewing time," Jeff Simpson, a CEO of KSL's parent company, said in a press release. "The dialogue is excessively rude and crude, the scenes are too explicit and the stereotypes are offensive."
The move wasn't a first for KSL. It hasn't aired comedic pillar Saturday Night Live since the station became the local NBC affiliate in 1995 and has given other racy sitcoms and dramas the ax, including last year's short-lived The Playboy Club.
"We know what we're getting with KSL, so we accept it and watch from a different perspective," says Edward Pease, professor of journalism at Utah State University and a nationally published mass media critic. "KSL has a definition of what kind of content they are about, what their audience is about and how they want to be thought of in the market place. It's a conscious decision."
But in Utah, battle lines were drawn—again. Supporters of KSL's decision hailed it as "bold and courageous" and "considerate of family values," while others called it "repugnant and embarrassing" and threatened to never watch Channel 5 again. It was conservative vs. liberal, downtown vs. the rest of the state, and much like of every argument we've ever had when our societal norms don't mesh.
"It's been going on for decades," Valerie Larabee, executive director of the Utah Pride Center, noted after sitting down with KSL execs to discuss the decision. "In the end, we accepted their reasons as multifaceted and [that they] have to worry about ratings and advertisers."
But in the end, how much do KSL's blocks really matter? With Hulu, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube playing full-length episodes or offering clips and trailers, there's no such thing as sitcom banishment. I watched The New Normal pilot on -NBC.com weeks before it made its official debut, and local independent station CW30, which also airs SNL, has picked it up on Saturday nights.
Seventeen years ago, when SNL was stripped from the weekend lineup, things like on-demand TV and websites airing full-length programs were future marvels. KSL had all the power. Now we can see anything we want with a click of the remote or mouse. Nothing is off limits—even in Utah.
KSL has stuck to its decision to keep The New Normal off primetime, honoring the commitment execs think they owe their viewers. Agree or disagree, it will likely happen again when the station faces another moral conundrum, another show, at another time.

Hi everyone,
I am interested in trying some modifications to a set of mismatched, somewhat beat up K cases that I have lying around. The transmission area is damaged, and I am toying with the idea of cutting away the entire area and working towards a separate transmission set-up. I would then look to build up the rest of the bike with various parts I have collected over time.
The purpose of the exercise would simply be to utilize some cheap old parts, whilst learning more about these old engines in the process and having fun!
I know this has been done before, and I was wondering if anyone might be able to share some simple pointers, things to watch for, or even pictures? I am particularly interested in learning the best way to perform the cutting operation, and then in discussion of alternative transmission options for the early twin-tomahawk frame (also open to mods). This would include modern sportbike options if applicable.
Thanks and regards,

Michael Choice - Stockton Ports Prospect - Vol. 1
Michael Choice came into the game swinging a hot bat for the Stockton Ports after hitting a home-run in each of his last 2 games. Tonight, the A's top A-Ball prospect faced off against the Rockies top A-Ball pitching prospect Tyler Matzek. Choice was in his usual defensive spot in center field, but didn't have too many opportunities to show off his skills outside of the first pitch of the game which was hit to center and Choice made a nice running catch. The Stockton Ports pitcher Robert Gilliam actually carded a no-hitter for several innings, giving the Ports defense a rare night of light action in the minor leagues.
The Ports Win 3-1
Position: CF
Batting: 3rd
Facing: Tyler Matzek
1st Inning - 0 - 0 - #3 In Order
6th Inning - 1 - 1 - 1st up in the Inning
7th Inning - 3 - 1 Ports - 2 Outs - No On
Choice finishes the game 1-4 1 RBI - 2 SO
In 8 Games He's Batting: .226 2 HR 8 RBI -- 13 K 6 BB in 31 AB's
Plate Discipline: In Choice's 4 at-bats during the night, he faced counts of 3-2, 3-2, 1-2, 2-1 - so he is getting to effective hitting counts against top pitching talent. The umpire was calling pitches that were slightly low and away, and Choice was burned on 2 boarder-line calls that could have gotten him better pitches to hit later in the count.
Swing: Choice does have an odd (or unorthodox) release to his swing. He almost looks like a golfer with a straight right arm that works upward, instead of around the body - like most traditional MLB swings. The move to the ball is quick, he cocks his left foot to the point where his toe is on the ground, and the foot is twisted, but he doesn't appear to lift his left foot off the ground completely. The release and follow-through is more extension with the arms, instead of body rotation. Notice the follow-through on this K during the 1st inning on a 3-2 pitch.

Former minister gets 30 years for sexual abuse of girl
Published: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 8:32 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 29, 2012 at 8:32 p.m.
A Daytona Beach funeral worker and former DeLand minister was sentenced to 30 years in prison Thursday for sexually abusing a young girl in 2006.
Michael Charles Campbell, 48, was convicted on two charges of sexual battery while in familial or custodial authority in September, court records show.
Campbell lured his victims with promises of modeling careers, state attorney spokeswoman Klare Ly said. A second case involving the girl's step-sister is pending.
Campbell's two 30-year sentences will be served concurrently, Ly said.

Quarterly Claims Processing Performance
Quarterly Claims Processing Performance (QCPP) audit is a system-generated
summary of reports submitted to the Workers' Compensation Division
(WCD) by insurers and self-insured employers and entered in the
divisions claims information system.
WCD provides insurers and self-insured employers with the statistical
summaries for their own use including allowing companies an opportunity
to correct any claims processing problems. Also, WCD continues to
use this self-reported data provided by insurers and self-insured
employers for performance measures of overall industry compliance
The QCPP audit reviews the insurer and self-insured employer reports
for timely performance of four key claims-processing requirements,
which include:
reporting: Insurers and self-insured employers must report
initial and aggravation claims to WCD within 14 days of the
acceptance or denial date.
payment: Insurers and self-insured employers must make first
payment of temporary disability (TD) within 14 days of either:
employer's date of knowledge of a claim, if an attending physician
or an authorized nurse practitioner authorizes TD within the
first 14 days.
date an attending physician or an authorized nurse practitioner
authorizes TD, if more than 14 days from the employer's date
of knowledge.
date an insurer or self-insured employer receives authorization
from an attending physician or an authorized nurse practitioner,
when the authorization was requested, but not received within
the first 14 days. OAR
Acceptance or Denial: Insurers and self-insured employers
must accept or deny a claim within 60 days of the employer's
date of knowledge of the claim.
of Closure: Insurers and self-insured employers must close
a claim within 14 days of the date the claim qualified for
and self-insured employers are not liable for penalties based solely
on the QCPP audit statistics. WCD issues penalties for performance
deficiencies and inaccurate reporting in these claim processing
categories during the Annual Audits.
The industry performance standards have not changed. Performance
categories that relate to providing benefits to workers remain at
a 90 percent timeliness standard, and claims reporting to the division
remains at an 80 percent timeliness standard.
Industry averages for initial
claims processing is the total number of claims reports submitted
each quarter for the above three claims-processing areas, and the
totals by year.

POYi Announces Campaign, Spot News, and Feature Category Winners
Manu Brabo of Associated Press (AP) won first prize in the Spot News category of the Pictures of the Year International competition, as POYi's judging marathon got under way this week. Brian Snyder of Reuters, Carolyn Kaster of AP, and Chip Somodevilla of Getty Images, all won top prizes in campaign photography categories. Ng Han Guan (AP) won the top prize for Feature image.
Those categories are all part of the POYi News Division. The remaining News Division categories, including Newspaper Photographer of the Year, will be judged this week. Categories for the Sports and Reportage divisions will be judged next week, while Editing Division and Multimedia division categories will be judged between February 18 and February 26.
Pictures from the war in Syria dominated the Spot News category. Brabo won the top prize for his photograph of a grieving man cradling the body of his son, who was killed in an attack by the Syrian army in Aleppo on October 3. Second and third prize winners were Goran Tomasevic of Reuters and and Narciso Contreras, who is represented by Polaris. Both won for images from Syria.
Somodevilla won the top prize in the Campaign Picture Story category for a portfolio titled "The Last Campaign," featuring images that captured the spirit and energy of President Barack Obama's last weeks on the campaign trail before the November 2012 election. Runners up were Adam Dean of Panos Pictures and Brian Snyder of Reuters. (POYi posts the winning images, but does not announce names of winners until all judging is completed.)
Snyder won first prize in the Presidential Campaign 2012 category for a single image of Mitt Romney and his aids reflected in a window at a campaign event in North Canton, Ohio. The image shows Romney looking isolated and pensive, with his campaign staffers swirling about him. Runners up in the category were Callie Shell and Damon Winter.
Carolyn Kaster won first prize in the Campaign 2012 category, for an image of a female biker flirting at an Ohio diner with Vice President Joe Biden. The biker, who sidled up to Biden, appears to be sitting in Biden's lap (though she actually wasn't). As she and Biden whisper to each other, her two companions sit nearby, looking askance at each other. Second place prize went to Andrew Harnik of the Washington Times. Third place went to Allison Joyce of Getty Images.
Ng Han Guan won the Feature image prize for a photograph of glum-looking North Korean commuters, photographed through the window of a city bus in the capital, Pyongyang. (AP has had unprecedented access to North Korea since it set up a bureau there more than a year ago.) Andrew Biraj of Reuters won second place, while Aaron Huey took third place.
Portrait and Portrait Series categories will be judged today.

text: The Big Game, Taxes, ACA, and the Injured Reserve List Back We've been thinking a lot about taxes and health care, and our anticipation about Sunday's Big Game brought some things to mind. The Gridiron is many things to many people, and we generally take the risks in stride while we enjoy the excitement. Not everyone – and certainly not every player – is so lucky. Running backs, for instance, are distinguished by two troubling facts: they are most likely of all NFL player groups to get hurt and they (along with safeties and kickers) are among those in the NFL with the lowest average salaries. And doubtless because of the physical stress and their time on the Injured Reserve (IR) list, running backs have an average tenure in the league of only 3.6 years as compared to the NFL-calculated average for 6.0 years for all players. Their game is the roughest of the rough, and that is in an already rough and risky environment.But running backs get paid plenty to compensate them for the risk, right? Well, the average running back in the NFL may pull down $957,360, and he'll easily pay a marginal rate of 39.6%. Often overlooked in financial discussions, but there all the same, most will still have the state tax man to pay. Over their playing tenure, then, they may net somewhere about $2 million after taxes. If they sock away about 10% of this money, then they'll have roughly enough to retire at age 65 and live like a regular American just above the median household income. Depending on the number of years with the league and when they started in the NFL, they may also qualify for a pension – but the monthly pension for running backs with three seasons would be only about $1,410. Frugality is the post-season mantra for many former players. So, what about health care? Because players have health coverage and typically very high income levels, they are highly unlikely to be able to deduct medical bills on their tax return. Because the ACA increased the threshold for the excess medical deduction in 2014 for persons under 65 to 10% of AGI, the average running back would be able to deduct medical costs only in excess of about $96,000 while they are playing! But the need for coverage persists long after the last whistle. Former NFL players typically do not qualify for continued comprehensive health insurance coverage. Thus, they will – like all Americans – need to seek out alternatives. Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), they can enroll in a qualified health plan in one of the new insurance marketplaces. If they don't have job-based coverage and their income is below the limit (e.g., $94,200 for a household of four), then they can get a sizable tax credit to help cover the premium costs. This last point is critical: the federal government only looks at the current income: the government does not look at last year's income or even current assets when determining eligibility for the tax credits.So can former players score under the ACA? As with all matters related to taxes, it depends on their individual circumstances but certainly they are eligible to participate if the facts and circumstances match up. Which is why we invite former NFL players – and all of their fans – to get help with their taxes and the ACA at Jackson Hewitt.For friends in the media, all statements are on the record. Please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com or 615-761-6929 if I can be helpful in any way. Sincerely, Brian

By Jason Krump
On a brisk November Saturday morning, the Washington State University football team filed into the Indoor Practice Facility.
Kickoff for the Cougars' Pac-12 game against Arizona State was still hours away. Prohibitive underdogs to the Sun Devils, a team that had been nationally-ranked the majority of the season, this time would be dedicated to making final preparations for that night's game.
As the players entered the facility they noticed an individual waiting for them. They gathered around, and for the next 15 minutes, listened to his message.
"It was amazing," linebacker Mike Ledgerwood remembers. "Everyone afterward had a twinkle in their eyes. That's all we could talk about."
"His message is one of the most powerful and moving things I've ever been a part of," wide receiver Jared Karstetter says. "You can tell it was from the bottom of the heart."
"It was a heartfelt speech," receiver Marquess Wilson recalls. "It really touched us all."
"When he talked to the team I think I was one of the first ones to start shedding tears," linebacker Alex Hoffman-Ellis confesses. "What he was saying really hit home."
The person delivering the message was Steve Gleason, who 10 months earlier, was diagnosed with ALS (Amyotophic lateral sclerosis), commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease.
Playing linebacker for WSU from 1995-99, Gleason was listed as 5-foot-11, 215 pounds on the roster.
Though seemingly undersized, Gleason's play belied his stature.
Evidence of this is epitomized in one play during the 1997 Apple Cup.
"I guess then football is a microcosm of life. You find yourself facing challenges all the time. To me the challenges are what we embrace. It helps me continue to explore who I am. Along the way hopefully I have inspired people to do the same."
-Steve Gleason
A Rose Bowl berth, the first in 67 years, was on the line for the Cougars. Nearing the midpoint of the second quarter of the critical game, the Huskies faced a third-and-eight, and quarterback Brock Huard lobbed a screen pass to Cam Cleeland.
Gleason, who was outweighed by Cleeland by over 60 pounds, came flying in and nailed the Husky tight end right between the "8" and "5" on his uniform.
Cleeland managed to stagger a few more yards before going down and, though Gleason was woozy from the hit, he was able to jog off the field, Cleeland, however, remained on the turf.
"It was pretty reckless on my part," Gleason recalls. "If there is any time for recklessness it was a game like that. I probably took the worse of it but I didn't miss any plays.
"What I mostly remember coming off the sidelines was thinking I wasn't going to be able to go another play and I was going to have to take a rest," adds Gleason, who earned All-Pac-10 Honorable Mention while leading the Cougars with 100 tackles during the 1997 season, including nine in the 1998 Rose Bowl. "But someone came up to me and said he (Cleeland) is not getting up. As soon as I heard that I was like, `Yeah I'm okay,' so I just walked back on the field."
The Blocked Punt
After WSU, Gleason signed with the NFL's New Orleans Saints in 2000. Classified as a safety on the Saints roster, Gleason's greatest impact was on the special teams unit.
This was no more in evidence than on Sept. 25, 2006.
That night marked the reopening of the Superdome nearly 13 months to the day after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city.
Over a year of anticipation created an atmosphere equaling that of a Super Bowl and, with the game just minutes old, that atmosphere was ignited by a play that will live forever in New Orleans history.
After a three-and-out on their opening possession, the Falcons were forced to punt, but punter Michael Koenen's effort met the outstretched arms of Gleason, who sprinted untouched through the heart of the Falcons' line.
The ball bounced into the end zone where the Saints' Curtis Deloatch fell on it for a touchdown that gave New Orleans a 7-0 lead, but, more importantly, gave the city a chance to cheer again.
"I know it is a cliché but I never heard a stadium that loud, ever," Gleason recalled.
Ever since, Gleason is a hero to the city.
"For me to be able to make that play I am just grateful," Gleason says, "because we all grow up wanting to do something significant that means more than just a great play. That's the cool thing about that play. It meant a lot more than just a blocked punt. It meant that this city has returned. It is still here and the heartbeat is still strong."
Team Gleason
Much had happened to the Saints' franchise in the years since Gleason's blocked punt, most notably a World Championship after defeating the Indianapolis Colts in Super Bowl XLIV in February 2010.
Much happened for Gleason, too. He retired after the 2007 season, married, and for six months, he and his bride Michel traveled the world visiting Greece, Turkey, Nepal, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii. The couple settled in New Orleans and Gleason was working toward his MBA from Tulane University while working for the Baton Rouge-based Shaw Group as a consultant for Clean Energy Initiatives.
It was in the summer of 2010 that Gleason began experiencing symptoms of ALS, a progressive disease that affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. In January he received the diagnosis.
Five years to the day of Gleason's historic play, on Sept. 25, 2011, the Saints hosted the Houston Texans in the Superdome. It was the day he decided to go public with his affliction.
Gleason served as honorary captain and took part in the coin toss and led the crowd in the pregame "Who Dat" chant, once again hearing the cheers from a sellout Saints crowd.
Also on that day, the "Team Gleason" movement began.
"Ultimately the mission is to help raise awareness towards ALS and help other people who have been diagnosed with ALS and ultimately find a cure," Gleason says of Team Gleason.
Gleason has a website, Facebook, Twitter pages, and started the Gleason Initiative Foundation, to provide support to individuals with muscular diseases and to raise the awareness level of ALS, a level that Gleason says is "astonishing low."
Just over a month after he served as honorary caption for the Saints, Gleason returned to his alma mater to serve as honorary captain for the Cougars' Dad's Weekend game against Arizona State.
He was presented the honor of raising the Cougar flag and at the end of the first quarter the Martin Stadium crowd held up cards displaying 34, Gleason's number during his playing days at WSU.
The coaches also wore hats with the words Team Gleason inscribed and Team Gleason T-shirts were sold on campus and online in the week leading up to the game.
Nearly 3,000 shirts were sold with proceeds directed toward the foundation.
"I've always lived with some purpose," Gleason says. "There has been intent behind my choices and the way I live my life and that certainly is not going to change. I think this is a great tool for me to continue to do that and even on a larger scale. This is the opportunity to inspire people to live with purpose."
Gleason took advantage of the opportunity during his talk to the team.
"We talked briefly about what I think is important about life," Gleason says. "We talked a lot about how you treat other people, obviously winning or losing is important in life, but most important are the relationships that you form and how you grow as a person."
"Then I said I came up here because I want to support you guys and I believe in you guys."
The message resonates.
"He brought up a good point in all of his years playing football he asked if anybody was ever scared before games," Hoffman-Ellis recalls. "He said, 'I was, but you know what? I still went out there.' It really rings true the saying without fear there is no courage.
"Just to see him up there, despite his condition, having a really positive outlook and speaking such moving words, it definitely had an emotional impact on myself and the rest of the team," Hoffman-Ellis adds.
That night, with Gleason looking on, the inspired Cougars defeated Arizona State, 37-27.
"Take in every second of life and make it the fullest that you can," Ledgerwood recalls Gleason saying.
Throughout his life, Gleason has sought to challenge himself, whether it was on or off the field.
His hobbies include surfing, fishing, writing, snowboarding, and playing guitar. While with the Saints, he spent every off-season traveling. His journeys included destinations as the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Chile, and Easter Island.
In 2003, he formed the One Sweet World Foundation, a charitable foundation that focuses on literacy and environmentalism. After Hurricane Katrina, the foundation launched "Backpacks for Hope", an initiative to provide relief to young hurricane victims in the form of backpacks and school supplies.
He regularly donated his hair to "Locks for Love," which provides hair for wigs for children with cancer.
Last summer, Steve and Michel took their camper van, "The Ironhorse" (named after Gehrig) on a 14,000 mile road trip from New Orleans to Alaska and back. During their travels they visited is the Pacific Coast Highway, Crater Lake, Banff National Park, Denali National Park, Mount McKinley, The Copper River, The Kenai peninsula, Katmai National Forest, Alaska's Inside Passage and friends and family. The trip is documented on a website the couple created named The Shunpike Experiment.
Gleason earned his MBA from Tulane and in October of 2011, the couple gave birth to their son Rivers.
As he faces his greatest challenge, his message to the Cougar football team on that November morning can serve as a lesson for all.
"A lot of life is about pushing yourself to really explore who you are. Until you push yourself and until you find yourself in challenging circumstances I think a lot of people don't know who they are.
"I guess then football is a microcosm of life. You find yourself facing challenges all the time. To me the challenges are what we embrace. It helps me continue to explore who I am. Along the way hopefully I have inspired people to do the same."

This morning Mr Hoover pled
Submitted by Megan Hottman (not verified) on
This morning Mr Hoover pled guilty to careless driving causing injury. The Judge went straight to sentencing. The range for a sentence to this charge is pretty tight -there was not much the Judge could do -however the DA asked that Mr Hoover be required to attend an aggressive driving course and to pay court costs. Which is what the judge ordered. He was sentenced to 6 months of unsupervised probation pending his completion of that course.
Mr. Nix had the chance to address the Court and express his thoughts and concerns about this incident. We were appreciative of the cyclists who came to support Mr. Nix this morning.

What does that sentence mean..... nothing! Doesn't affect his life a bit. Waits till the last minute to take a plea. What a waste of court time.

Horizon Discovery has signed a five-year research service collaboration agreement with Boehringer Ingelheim. Horizon will support Boehringer's oncology programs by using its Discovery Toolbox for research projects and profiling of compounds at the hit-to-lead, lead optimization, and pre-clinical stages to elucidate their anticancer properties and help guide drug discovery programs.
Horizon will evaluate compounds across a broad panel of X-MAN isogenic models and selected 2D/3D phenotypic assays, and will provide an FTE and access to its custom cell-line generation services to support the programs.
Horizon will also apply its genome editing technology GENESIS™ to develop human isogenic disease model cell lines, according to Boehringer Ingelheim's specifications. Using GENESIS, Horizon is able to alter any endogenous gene sequence of human or mammalian cell lines quickly, reliably, and without unwanted and confounding genotypes and/or phenotypes. The resulting cell lines accurately model the disease-causing mutations found in patients.
Last year, Horizon granted American Type Culture Collection a license to distribute a select set of its X-Man isogenic cell lines to academic and nonprofit customers for noncommercial research applications. In November 2012, the company inked a gene-editing research collaboration with the Institute of Neurology, University College London, providing access to GENESIS.

other-regarding concerns
Risk attitudes
- Итог
Previous studies have shown that decision makers are less other-regarding when their own payoff is risky than when it is sure. Empirical observations also indicate that people care more about identifiable than unidentifiable others. In this paper, we report on an experiment designed to explore whether rendering the other identifiable - via a short speechless video - can affect the relation between other-regarding concerns and attitudes toward social risk. For this sake, we elicit risk attitudes under two treatments differing in whether the actor can see the other or not. We find that seeing the other does not affect behavior significantly: regardless of the treatment, individuals are mainly self-oriented as to social allocation of risk, though they are other-regarding with respect to expected payoff levels.
