Multifaith Multicultural Youth Network (MMYN)
The Multifaith Multicultural Youth Network (MMYN) was established in September 2007 to provide advice to the Victorian Government, through the Office of Multicultural Affairs and Citizenship (OMAC), on issues and initiatives that affect young Victorians from culturally, religiously and linguistically diverse backgrounds.
The MMYN is comprised of 25 young people from a range of faiths, cultures, ages, geographical locations and life experiences.
The MMYN meets four to six times a year and as well as highlighting key issues facing young Victorians, members have the opportunity to develop youth-led projects which respond to some of these issues.
Alongside their advisory role, MMYN members have been involved in a number of initiatives including:
- Developing and implementing youth-led projects which focused on employment, media, sport, education and newly arrived young people;
- Regional and metropolitan workshops with young people to discuss mulitifaith issues, cultural diversity;
- Participating in the "UBUNTU" Youth Stage as part of the Viva Victoria festival in 2012, 2013 and 2014;
- A member of MMYN becoming the first Youth Commissioner for the Victorian Multicultural Commission in 2012 (the current Youth Commissioner is also an MMYN member); and
- Representing the Victorian Government in conferences, workshops and consultations on multifaith, refugee and migrant youth issues.
More information about MMYN projects and activities can be found in the following reports.

Steve Shapiro & Pat Bergeson: I'll Take the Soup
I'll Take the Soup
Steve Shapiro (vibes, marimba) and Pat Bergeson (guitar)
Backward Compatible (Apria Records 139326)
Steve Shapiro (vibes, marimba), Pat Bergeson (guitar),
Will Barrow (accordion), Tim Ferguson (bass), Clint De Gannon (drums).
Composed by Pat Bergeson & Richard Smith.
Recorded: Westchester, NY and Nashville, TN, 2007
Rating: 85/100 (learn more)
The team of vibraphonist Steve Shapiro and Chet Atkins protégé Pat Bergeson has produced this scorcher of a soon-to-be-standard tune titled "I'll Take the Soup." It plays like the background music to a fast-moving cartoon chase sequence. This upbeat swinger takes its pulse from the rapidly synchronous playing of the frenetic Bergeson on guitar countered by the equally speedy but mellow tone of Shapiro's vibes. The tune also includes the surprisingly well-matched sound of Will Barrow's swinging accordion backed by the nimble Tim Ferguson on bass. In their totality they form a seamless flow of musical delight that brings a smile to your face. Fun music played with a sense of real professionalism, panache and joy.

Second batch of low carbon city pilots given go ahead in China
- Date
- 05 September 2012
BEIJING: After the success of a first round of low carbon pilots across China, the Government is set to choose a second group in a bid to accelerate the nation's low carbon economy.
The first batch of low carbon pilots, which began in 2010, covered five Chinese provinces and eight cities.
Following the successful progress of the first group, the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) is now evaluating potential cities and provinces that have applied to be considered for the second round. It is expected that around 20 cities and a couple of provinces will be selected.
The Government's key objective for expanding the project is to accelerate China's low carbon, economic growth.
In 2010, the Chinese Government picked five provinces (Guangdong, Liaoning, Hubei, Shaanxi, Yunnan) and eight cities (Tianjin, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Hangzhou, Nanchang, Guiyang and Baoding) as low carbon pilots.
The Government requested these pilot areas for several reasons: to calculate and set a control target amount of local GHG emissions; study and formulate GHG emissions allocation targets; establish local carbon trading regulatory and registration systems; and to nurture and build a trading platform in order to support the carbon trading pilot test system.
Equally, the second batch of low carbon pilots must possess the following four prerequisites:
- Commitment of Government leaders, who should conscientiously implement the scientific development and accelerate the transformation.
- Precise pilot objectives, including carbon intensity, proportion of non-fossil fuel among total primary energy consumption, target forest carbon sinks, and low carbon pilot development policies.
- Play an exemplary role in the low carbon development process.
- Submission of a "Low-carbon Pilot Initial Implementation Proposal", covering the basic conditions, overall requirements, main tasks, key actions, risk management policies, organization, work plan and other related information.
A number of the batch one pilot cities have since set up special funds to support low carbon development. According to the 21st Century Business Herald, Yunnan Province has arranged an annual provincial special fund of RMB30 million, running from 2011 to 2015, to drive low carbon intensity infrastructure industry.
Similarly, during the same period, Guangdong Province has set up a special fund of RMB30 million. The money goes towards institutional mechanisms for low carbon development management systems and demonstration projects.
Besides the pilots, in October 2011 NDRC also agreed that Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Hubei, Guangdong Province and Shenzhen City should carry out a carbon emissions trading pilot scheme.
"The low carbon city piloting scheme in China has inspired more cities and regions to join the league to redesign urban development," said Changhua Wu, Greater China Director, The Climate Group. "We are delighted to see that the national Government has decided to expand the piloting scheme, which offers a more supportive policy environment for China Redesign, The Climate Group's flagship program that focuses on decarbonizing urbanization in China."

Confidence Is NYC Prep's Best Accessory
In which we mentally tangle with last night's episode of the Bravo reality show.
"I met you the other night," Jessie says when introduced, for the second time in two episodes, to Devorah Rose. "Oh, did you?" the adult Social Life editor responded, as the Dalai Lama might respond to one of the millions of pilgrims who flock to His Holiness for an interaction, the benefits of which are entirely one-sided. This was one of the more subtle of the horrifying moments that occurred in last night's episode of NYC Prep, in which our embattled reality stars were haunted at every turn with three of New York's bogeymen: pretentious monsters, predatory monsters, and monsters in the sense that Elmo from Sesame Street says he is a monster, but is really a Muppet. Those best able to deflect their insidious remarks won the episode, and will, we suspect, eventually win at life.
Sebastian has lost his mojo. Public-school succubus Taylor sucked it out of him, and now he is doomed. From now on, he will mark the passage of time not with notches on the post of his Power Rangers–sheeted bed, but by the golden hairs that fall from his head and the widening girth around his waist. The first sign came when he was rebuffed by Kelli. Later, a promising date with an exotic brunette, Daniela — with whom, he marveled, the level of conversation was so much higher than it was with Taylor — took a shocking, almost Crying Game–esque twist when his companion revealed she went to public school, then asked if she could touch his hair. "No, that's weird," he said, quite firmly. "What am I, a dog?" Fortunately, like so many men, Sebastian's perception and sensitivity appeared to increase as his sexual magnetism decreased, and he made several insightful observations about others, noting, for instance, that PC seemed "so mad, or sad, or depressed" during his altercation with Kelli — and noticing that PC and Jessie had better seats than he and Kelli, but not saying anything about it because he knew it would upset her. This new skill needs time to develop, however, as his diagnoses of Kelli as "bipolar" for her on-and-off flirting with him was less than convincing.
Once again, Kelli proved that beneath her sweet munchkinlike exterior lay a steely core. "You shouldn't be mean to [Taylor]," she snapped, after Sebastian bragged of brushing off his public-school fling. "I feel like I'm fighting with a chick," she snapped at PC. "I don't want you to apologize if you don't want to apologize." And regarding her friend Camille (theirs and PC and Jessie's friendships appear to be the only real ones not trumped up by producers), she gripes: "Camille's really well educated, but I'm the one dealing with the whole music industry right now, so I think I know more about what I'm actually doing right now than she does." The whole music industry? That seems, um, unpalatable. Also, untrue.
Camille: Was wrongfully accused of "not getting" that Kelli needed to have a stylist create an image for her before she was famous when, in fact, she merely (and quite rightfully) thought it was stupid and excessive. "Well, I don't know any 17-year-olds who have a stylist before they have a professional career," she muses. "And I don't think it's correct to change yourself just to be in the music industry." Unfortunately for Camille, she appears to only have been inserted using footage from an old episode, so she wasn't in the running this time around.
Taylor: We liked Taylor better in this episode than we had in recent weeks. We enjoyed that when Cole (rightly) pointed out that PC was "not even your friend — he talks down to you!" she replied with that squinty smile of hers, "Yeah, but he's nice." (False.) "I love everything about PC," she giggled. "He's, like, older than me." She also made the amazing point that PC is apparently openly into girls and guys. "I mean, I don't know if it's cool to be bisexual," she moans. "But it's cool that HE'S bisexual." Oh, how well Intel Chris remembers that particular phase.
But after all that gushing, Taylor immediately disregarded PC's advice at the Jill Stuart show to "Just like act like we don't give a shit about celebrities, because it makes us look cool," and rolled her eyes openly at his and Kat's decision to wear sunglasses during the entire show, and at his imparted wisdom of "It's not, like, just about the clothes, it's the makeup and the hair, the whole thing, so just, like, take notes on that." Whatever. Taylor and Cole just like purple. Also, she just wants to "to go up to Paris Hilton and hug her," which seems ill-advised.
It's a testament to the vulnerability of young PC's sense of self that the person he has seemed most impressed by all season long is Devorah Fucking Rose. (More on her later.) You could see in his face how hard he knew he was fucking up, but his little hands in their fingerless gloves couldn't stop flitting about her and her entourage, who progressed this episode from merely sketchy (remember last week's photo shoot??) to downright vampiric. When, after Devorah's cooing, he said "People said [the Erin Fetherston show] was one of the best shows of all of Fashion Week," you could tell even he knew not one person had said that. In the end, he exhibited humility, admitting that he was "a little schooled" when Kelli yelled at him, and apologizing to Jessie for being a jerk, eventually. This earned him a few points, but not as many as when Kat stole his seat and he called her a fat c***, which was awesome in the brutally honest way one can only be when speaking to a person wearing sunglasses in a dark room.
Like Bella's mortal friends in Twilight, Jessie realizes immediately that there's something untoward about the interest Devorah Rose and her pallid, androgynous friends have in PC. For one, her concern is 100 percent justified — those people are creepy, and they're definitely not interested in PC for PC. However, she almost spoiled her chance at the win by being completely unaware of her privilege. "If I'm seven years younger than you, and I have as much experience, that's a bit pathetic," she exhales. "Don't you think?" But she was torn between this hubris (at one point, she says "I would have gotten more out of the experience with Charlotte Ronson if they had given me seats for the front row" ... we're pretty sure this was spliced together by producers, though) and a genuine work ethic and poise with adults. In the end, her correctness about Devorah & Co., her genuine, disturbingly deep care for PC, and her unflappability in work situations (when adults were watching, at least) gave her the win. Even though the way she walks, holding her handbag, kind of grates for some reason.
Auxiliary Winners
Devorah Rose's rack: To paraphrase Jessie: It may not be real, it may not be from New York, but Jesus Christ.
Cole: We still love Cole, for his simplicity and humor. "PC, you could have gotten us better seats," he cracks, allowing the snottiness of PC and Kat at the Jill Stuart show to roll off his back. "That girl is tall," he later muses, looking at a model. "She's got a mean face." So true! The best, though, was when he spoke in a British accent to tease the snobs around him.
Minardi, Aroma (Again)
The designers the Bravo producers got them tickets to go see, but then pretended they hadn't: Walter, Jill Stuart, Erin Fetherston, Pamella Roland.
Charlotte Ronson: Though really the hero in that sequence was the awesomely bitchy Eastern European intern Jessie worked with.
Carmen Marc Valvo: Because he and Frank clearly saw the PR opportunity of working with Jessie for what it was, and were pretty nice about it.
Paris and Nicky Hilton: We think this is a win, we're not sure.
Amanda Bynes: Because she looked so normal and we love her.
Michelle Trachtenberg: Gossip Girl tie-in! Again!
Kim Kardashian: Don't think we didn't see you there.
Katrina Bowden: Because she seemed appropriately appalled by Devorah.
Daniella: Sebastian's date was pretty, and when she said, "Do I look like I play sports?" we laughed. We say that too, but more because we are fat, not thin.
Auxiliary Losers:
Kat: We bet PC's friend is regretting she didn't agree to be a full-time cast member on the show, because producers are clearly taking it out on her by making her look like an Ally Hilfiger knockoff, without the soul. (Yes, we said it.)
The rival vampire coven: Honestly, longhairs: GET OFF PC. It's so gross and unattractive, and you are adults. This is embarrassing.
Lauren, Kelli's stylist: Because Bravo edited it to look like she only goes to one obscure fashion show to pick outfits for her client.
Devorah Rose: Allow us to issue a little plea, directly to the editor of Social Life: Dear, we know your efforts to make your own reality show have been flouted, and you think this may be your only shot at fame. But it isn't worth it. You're a pretty girl! You've got the body every drag queen in Manhattan dreams of! You can do better than this. Acting as the secret double operative of Bravo producers and trying to stir up trouble among a bunch of hapless teenagers is just shameful. When you drawled, "Tonight's going to be insane, so buckle your seatbelt," and "Front row at Erin Fetherston," we worried for your soul that this is what you really live for — even though we know it's not. "I don't have an option," you said. "I have to look amazing. It's my job." No, Devorah. Your job is to throw parties and try to publicize a little-known, free-handout weekend magazine in the Hamptons. You just think playing the villainess is fun. But it doesn't last, girlfriend. This is reality television. On Bravo! Nothing lasts. Sooner or later it all just stops lasting.
FINAL NOTE: Commenters, can we please refrain from talking about the way that the characters look? Remember, they are teenagers being taken advantage of by adult reality-television producers; they deserve our pity, not our cruelty. You've been particularly harsh to Jessie and Camille in the past. We know you are wittier than that.

One voice for the Office of Sheriff
The Triple Crown Award was established by NSA to recognize those sheriff's offices, which achieve simultaneous accreditation from the Commission on the Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, the American Correctional Association's Commission on Accreditation for Corrections and the National Commission on Correctional Healthcare. Achieving these accreditations individually is a daunting task. Acquiring all three at the same time is an extraordinary feat. In fact, the Triple Crown distinction is so rare, that since the establishment of the award in 1993, fewer than 100 sheriffs' offices have qualified.
In addition, at the 2007 Winter Conference, the Awards Committee and NSA Board of Directors decided that sheriff's offices that were prior Triple Crown Award recipients would again be eligible for the award, when achieving simultaneous reaccreditation under the leadership of a new sheriff.
Though this Award is a one-time award, recipients noted by * are second Triple Crown Awards to sheriff's offices that have achieved Triple Crown status under another sheriff.

Podcast Paroxysm – NBA Draft Hangover
Though not as shocking as last year's draft, the 2014 NBA draft had plenty of surprises and excitement. The Cleveland Cavaliers actually did something right! Sam Hinkie did more wheeling and dealing! Danny Ainge somehow overcame his distaste for the draft and selected two players! Two! Now, after all the dust has settled and the trades have been finalized, it's time to reflect upon that wild Thursday.
To help me with that reflection, Jack Winter was kind enough to join me on Podcast Paroxysm. The Philadelphia Sam Hinkies, er, 76ers, took a bold risk by selecting Joel Embiid and Dario Saric — the former won't play this year, while the latter likely won't play in the NBA for at least two years. Was this the right move? Will fans and ownership be patient enough to see Hinkie's plan come to fruition, or was this too big of a risk?
We also discuss who had the best draft and worst drafts. Was it Utah, who got their guy in Exum and a steal in Rodney Hood? Was it Charlotte, who selected Noah Vonleh and Hairston? As for worst, did anyone actually have a "terrible" draft? Listen to what we think.
Last year, Tim Connelly didn't exactly make a great first impression, signing Nate Robinson, Randy Foye and JJ Hickson to puzzling contracts. One year later, with a solid draft day that saw the return of Aaron Afflalo along with the selections of Jusuf Nurkic and Gary Harris, has Connelly redeemed himself?
Who the hell is Bruno Caboclo? Did Masai Ujiri strike gold, or was this just a monumental reach with other, potentially better players on the board?
All of that, plus, would I draft my house again if I realized how hot it would be without air conditioning? Who had the best and worst suit of the night, besides Andrew Wiggins of course because oh my god that thing was beautiful.

Google's stock continues to perform incredibly well, even while Apple's stock falters. Google's stock increased over 1 percent earlier this morning, topping out at $804.00. This is the first time the stock price has been over $800 and it shows no signs of stopping growing.
The boost has come from renewed investor confidence that Google can continue to increase revenue and profit, even as cost-per-click continues to decline. What's really funny about this whole thing is that Google would actually like the stock price to be lower. They attempted to split the stock last year, but have been unable to due to a lawsuit alleging that a split unfairly gives too much power to co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

Twitter exploded last night with teens and recent ex-teens sobbing over their lost innocence at the news of Brenda Song, the 23-year-old actress best known for playing heiress London Tipton on the Disney Channel's Suite Life of Zack and Cody, expecting her first child. Seemingly just moments after a similar announcement came from one-time Disney compatriot Hillary Duff, the news was almost too much for a nation raised on the network's programming to bear. "Brenda Song's pregnant. Hilary Duff's pregnant. Zack & Cody have graduated. Miley revealed her secret," read a representative tweet from user DaBieberGummy. "Yup. Childhood's officially over."
And the young male miscreant responsible for this tragic development? None other than Trace Cyrus, singer/guitarist in rock/pop group Metro Station and brother to fellow Disney alum Miley Cyrus. The duo are unmarried, and the fact that they were in a relationship at all was unbeknownedst to many, adding to the awe and horror of the whole affair. (Not to mention that Brenda Song happens to be a very pretty young lady while Trace Cyrus is, uh, rather unconventional looking.)
Still, as shellshocked as everyone is responding to this news, you'd think that nobody saw Song's distinctly adult turn in The Social Network. Nothing lasts forever, kids.

Smart, practical financial gifts for your loved ones this Diwali
Ditch the traditional gifts and take the unconventional route this festive season.
Think of out-of-the-box but practical gifts says certified financial planner Ramalingam K.
Put some thought in what you gift and secure the future of your loved ones this Diwali.
Read on to find out more on what you can gift your loved ones:
For your parents
Giving gifts to parents on the day of Diwali is something every responsible child would like to do. But the right kind of gift ideas for parents are fewer. Here are two gift ideas worth giving to your parents.
1. Monthly income plan
When your parents grow old they will need monthly income. Gift them an investment option which gives a monthly income to them. You can get monthly income by investing in FDs, POMIS (Post Office Monthly Income Plans), mutual fund MIPs and the like.
Your parents may not be depending on you, but still then, this extra cash flow out of your investment gift will make them enjoy their life more when they retire.
2. Health insurance
Most of the insurance companies are ready to cover senior citizens with an extra premium or with a co-payment option. Co-payment is, when a claim comes the insurance company will pay some predetermined percentage of the claim and the balance will be co-paid by the claimant.
Gifting a mediclaim policy to your parents will relieve them from paying their hospital bills which are unavoidable when one grows old.
These diwali gift ideas for parents will be of immense help to them.

Smart, practical financial gifts for your loved ones this Diwali
For your spouse
1. Lifestyle assurance
How will your spouse feel when you give a gift that assures his/her present lifestyle forever? You are here today earning and providing a lifestyle to your family. If you retire, can the same lifestyle be maintained? If you suffer any mishap or disability, can your family maintain the same lifestyle?
To protect the lifestyle of your family after your retirement, you need to chart a detailed retirement plan. I am not advocating unit linked pension plan here. No. I am talking about a comprehensive retirement plan.
To protect the lifestyle of your family from your premature death, take a pure term insurance plan. I am not talking about ULIPs here. Pure term-insurance plan. Calculate in detail your human life value and then cover that amount of value with a term insurance policy.
Professional financial planners can be of assistance to you in drawing a retirement plan as well as finding your human life value.
2. Gold ETFs
If you are planning to gift gold coin to your spouse, think about gifting Gold exchange-traded funds (or ETFs). Easy to buy and sell. No need to safeguard these.
These diwali gift ideas will really surprise your spouse.
For your domestic help
Gifting a mediclaim policy to your maid-servant is also a good idea. There are chances they may not have bought such a policy on their own thinking that such policies are costly. Along with the mediclaim policy, you can add accidental insurance for your driver.
It is really very difficult to find good servants these days. Even if you find one, it is really very difficult to retain them. If you pay the renewal premium on behalf of them every year, they will be very loyal to you. They will think twice, before quitting your job.
These diwali gifts will delight them.

Smart, practical financial gifts for your loved ones this Diwali
For your children
1. Piggy Bank
A Piggy Bank may not be a great idea when you are thinking about a Diwali gift. But you can teach your kids about money using a piggy bank by adopting a different approach.
Gift a piggy bank with 90 one-rupee coins. Set a target for the child to make it Rs 100 in a month. This motivates the child to save Rs 10 extra to make it Rs 100. Likewise you can set a target for a year.
Also announce a bonus when the child achieves a particular target. Say when the money in your child's piggy bank reaches Rs 1,000 give the child a bonus of Rs 100.
The idea is not just to gift a piggy bank but also encourage and motivate a child to save.
2. Savings account for kids
Open a savings account for your kid. It gives a great feeling to the gift, when the kid gets a bank account in his/her own name.
Whatever cash gifts, the kid gets for Diwali, Christmas, New Year, birthday and other special occasion can be deposited in this account. Whenever the account balance crosses a particular limit say Rs 10,000 or Rs 25,000 withdraw and invest the same in mutual funds or FDs in your kid's name.
This creates awareness among kids about savings and investments. You are laying strong foundation on personal finance management for your kid this diwali in the form of a gift.
3. Board games
Remember Trade or Business that we all played as small kids? A game like this can help your child understand the value of money, buying assets, spending less, saving more, investing and the like.
So many such online games are available online these days. These games can teach complete money management in a fun way. Diwali is also celebrated as Lakshmi pooja. It is nice to start money management lessons on this auspicious day of Diwali.
4. Mutual fund SIP
You can start a mutual fund SIP in the name of the child. You contribute only for the first month's installment and ask your kid to pay out of his/her pocket money for the subsequent installments.
This way you will teach your kid about the stock market nuances also.
For your friends and dear ones
- You can choose to gift some good personal finance books for your friend or colleague. Instead of sending them e-cards, you can surprise them by e-mailing a personal finance article with your Diwali wishes. Even this article itself can be mailed to your near and dear ones instead of an e-greeting! This diwali gift will make them understand more about personal finance.
- Instead of gifting money or gold, it is a good idea to gift bluechip company shares. Even a single share can be gifted. As it is a gift, people sentimentally will not sell them immediately and keep it for long term. A single share can grow with bonuses over a period of time. Let us start surprising our loved ones this Diwali with these unusual diwali gifts.

A North Carolina witness traveling south along Longwood Road about one mile south of Longwood reported watching a "cylindrical object" crossing in front of his vehicle just above the tree tops about 9:30 p.m. on February 3, 2014, according to testimony from Case 53911 in the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
The witness was about a mile outside of town and heading toward Myrtle Beach when the object was first seen.
"It had a blue light that remained constant at one end of it and a white light at the other end that was constant white," the witness stated. "There was no sound."
The witness watched the object between 30 seconds to one minute and then attempted to follow it, eventually turning right on Pea Landing Road, but did not see it again.
"Strangest thing I have ever seen. I sensed it could have been an aircraft of some sort, however there was no strobe to any light on it and I know that aircraft should have a strobe light."
The witness hopes others who may have seen it will come forward.
"I am only coming forward in case there were others that saw what I saw. It was strange."
Longwood is in Brunswick County in southern North Carolina. North Carolina is a current UFO ALERT 4 rating, with a higher than average number of UFO sightings nationally. North Carolina had 17 reports in January 2014 - while California had 102 reports - the highest reporting state in the nation.
Other recent reports of low flying UFOs from around the country include:
- Triangle UFO reported low over Ohio field
- Giant silent sphere UFO with lights reported over Georgia town
- Oklahoma witness says object 'size of a van' hovered over her home
- Silent low flying UFO spotted moving over Oregon town
- Triangle UFO reported dipping below tree line in Michigan town
- Low flying orange UFO made U-turn while Arkansas witness watched
- UFO reports wanted: Washington witnesses say disc-shaped craft too big to miss
- Florida photo capture looks like disc UFO
- Low flying orb UFO observed hovering before darting away over California town
You can read more details about other recently reported cases at the UFO Examiner home page.
The above quotes were edited for clarity. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or man-made. If North Carolina MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update. Please report UFO activity to MUFON.com.

Code: TNRPF4A
Shipping Weight: 4 pounds
Heavy-duty, hollow rubber springs sit above the axle and help stabilize and level the Nissan Pathfinder while providing a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability.
When hauling heavy loads in the cargo area or by pulling a trailer, you will often see the rear of the Nissan Pathfinder sag while the front end rises. In these cases, the rear axle is handling not only the weight of the cargo, but more of the Nissan Pathfinder's weight as well. Because less weight is on the front axle, the front tires are making less contact with the road. Overall Nissan Pathfinder handling - traction, steering, and braking - is negatively affected. The resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with the Nissan Pathfinder's factory suspension to keep the Nissan Pathfinder level and improve your driving performance.
The Timbren system has a Nissan Pathfinder-specific bracket that will be bolted onto each frame rail above the rear axle. Hollow rubber springs are bolted to the bottom of the bracket, hanging down so that the bottom of the spring touching the axle. Because the spring is already making contact, it is working at once to support the Nissan Pathfinder's existing suspension. This "pre-loaded" design offers maximum support for Nissan Pathfinders that are always hauling a load.
Timbren Suspension Enhancement Systems are designed to work progressively. When the hollow rubber springs are compressed, the convoluted design causes them to quickly collapse along the folds. Once the folds are compacted, the stacked barrel shape provides increased resistance, stiffening the suspension and keeping the Nissan Pathfinder level.
Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's or passenger's side of the Nissan Pathfinder. This is helpful when you swerve or make sharp turns. Each spring is activated when it is needed, so body roll is greatly reduced. The independent action also works well when hauling off-center loads.
Because the Nissan Pathfinder handles better with the springs, less turbulence will be passed along to the trailer helping to keep the trailer in line. Your driving comfort is further enhanced if the trailer does begin to sway (from a gust of wind or passing of a semi) because the movement from the trailer is not transferred to the Nissan Pathfinder. This also works to make the sway subside quicker.
Another great feature of the rubber construction is that the springs absorb most of the road shock, creating a smoother, more stable ride overall. Wear and tear on the factory suspension is also lessened as the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads.
Compared to the competition:
Timbren's suspension enhancement systems are much easier to install than air springs - no air hoses are needed to be run, no compressors or gauges to hook up, and no manual adjustments necessary. The rubber construction causes Timbren's springs to be more elastic than similar products constructed of micro-cellular urethane. More elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride because the rubber has more travel.
Average Customer Rating: 5.0 out of 5 stars (1 Customer Reviews)Heavy-duty, hollow rubber springs sit above the axle and help stabilize and level the vehicle while providing a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability.

From journalistic accounts likeFiascoandImperial Life in the Emerald Cityto insider memoirs likeJawbreakerandThree Cups of Tea, the books about America's wars in Iraq and Afghanistan could fill a library. But each explores a narrow slice of a whole: two wars launched by a single president as part of a single foreign policy. Now noted historian Terry H. Anderson examines them together, in a single comprehensive overview. Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush told advisor Karl Rove, "I am here for a reason, and this is how we're going to be judged." Anderson provides this judgment in this sweeping, authoritative account of Bush's War on Terror and his twin interventions. He begins with historical surveys of Iraq and Afghanistan known respectively as "the improbable country" and "the graveyard of empires," and he examines U.S. policies toward those and other nations in the Middle East from the 1970s to 2000. Then Anderson focuses on the Bush Administration, carrying us through such events as the terrorist's attacks of 9/11, the invasion of Afghanistan and the siege of Tora Bora, the "Axis of Evil" speech, the invasion of Iraq and capture of Baghdad, and the eruption of insurgency in Iraq. He ranges from RPGs slamming into Abrams tanks to cabinet meetings, vividly portraying both soldiers in the field and such policymakers as Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice. Anderson describes the counter-insurgency strategy embodied by the "surge" in Iraq, and the simultaneous revival of the Taliban. He concludes with an assessment of the prosecution of the wars in the first years of Barack Obama's presidency. Carefully researched and briskly narrated,Bush's Warsprovides the single-volume, balanced history that we have been waiting for.

As we sat down last week around our Seder tables to re-enact the story of our redemption from Egypt, we had the opportunity to reflect on modern-day slavery. Poverty and destitution are forms of slavery because they make us powerless and deprive us of the chance to exercise control over our lives. Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg recently remarked that he was horrified that destitute asylum seekers have to exist on £5 a week. That was, he said, less than he spends on care of his dog.
Jewish tradition is quite emphatic about the indignity of poverty. "No trouble is harder to bear than poverty. If all other troubles were placed on one side and poverty on the other, poverty would outweigh them all" (Exodus Rabbah 31:14).
A recent report produced by the New North London Synagogue's Drop-in Centre for Destitute Asylum Seekers, in conjunction with the charity PAFRAS (Positive Action for Refugees and Asylum Seekers), detailed the horrendous conditions experienced by destitute asylum seekers, estimated to be around a half-a-million people. The report includes the voices of the people themselves. Hamid, a 28 year old from Iran is one such voice:
"I have slept in parks, on buses, in phone boxes, in an old broken car. Often it's too cold to stay asleep and I wake up every hour through the night. When it rains, I wake up every 15 minutes. One night feels like a year".
Hamid is just one out of thousands of refused asylum seekers who are currently living in destitution in the UK. As soon as their claim is deemed to have failed, the government cuts off all support. As a result, they have nowhere to live and no money for food or clothing or any of the basic necessities of life. This can go on for months or even years. There are two exceptions to this rule: families with children and those people whom the government accepts currently cannot return home.
The NNLS/PAFRAS report reveals that many asylum seekers are sleeping outdoors and almost half go one or more days without eating. A third of the women interviewed who were sleeping outside have been raped or sexually assaulted. Many have lost family members to conflicts in their home countries and 70 per cent have been tortured or fled widespread human-rights violations. Almost all of those questioned for the report came from wealthy, professional backgrounds. They have become non-persons.
Many asylum seekers know they have a strong case, despite being refused. In 2007, nearly 50 per cent of all refused asylum seekers were from Zimbabwe, Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Afghanistan, Somalia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Eritrea — all countries where there is conflict. The government has not removed Zimbabweans from the UK since 2006 because it is too dangerous to do so. If refused asylum seekers who cannot go back home through no fault of their own were allowed to work, rather than depend on handouts, they could support themselves and their families and consequently contribute to society.
Forcing asylum seekers into destitution in order to make them leave Britain is immoral and affects thousands of people. Such a policy is not only cruel and degrading but is not conducive to social cohesion.
The events of 3,000 years ago in Egypt, when we were the outsiders, have become an indelible part of Jewish history. In 2009 there are many more outsiders, human beings living on the margins of society. The injunction at the Seder to "let all who are hungry come and eat" can of course be taken on different levels. To keep faith with our redemption from Egypt, one level must be that we remember such people not only in our thoughts but, more importantly, in our actions.

Never known to shy away from the adventurous or the extraordinary, Bill English and Susi Damilano (Directors of the San Francisco Playhouse) throw caution to the winds with their latest production, Jerusalem - Jez Butterworth's highly unusual Tony and Olivier award-winning play which is currently enjoying its West Coast premiere.
The play is set in Wiltshire, south-west England, not far from the ancient Druid ruins of Stonehenge, a legendary place of pagan worship, and symbol of mystery and magic, where the summer solstice is celebrated by thousands of revellers each year.
Johnny 'Rooster' Byron lives in a dilapidated caravan in a forest which has been inhabited by his forebears for what he claims are generations. This patch of forest is his Jerusalem, his stronghold, his stand against the bureaucracy of the local council who have the forest earmarked for further development of the urban sprawl which is edging ever closer.
To make matter worse in the eyes of the authorities, Johnny's Jerusalem is a magnet for a motley assortment of disaffected young locals, who flock to his patch to lose themselves in all-night drink- and drug-fuelled parties. Everybody, it seems, wants a piece of Johnny - his young son wants him to take him to the fair, his 'mates' want him for the drugs and drink which are freely available - and the council want him for an entirely different reason - to have him evicted.
Johnny's not a good influence on the young people, to be sure, but he justifies his attraction for them in the way that he justifies everything he does - with a specious, but curiously credible, logic in which he believes implicitly - insisting that these youngsters are better off with him than in their own homes.
Initially coming across a figure of loathing, but with a personality which grows ever more appealing as the action progresses, Johnny is without doubt a force with which to be reckoned.
Both funny and tragic, Jerusalem has both critics and audiences agog - defying anyone who sees it to walk away without opinion or comment.
The Guardian describes it as "one of the best dramas of the 21st century". The Mail on Sunday refers to it as "Jez Butterworth's wildly original hymn to eccentricity..... If you see nothing else this year, see this richly rewarding and resonant play."
The Sunday Times calls it "... one of the best dramas of the new century ...... An extraordinary moment in British drama." The New York Times refers to it as "..... the magnificent play by Jez Butterworth", and Whatsonstage.com sums it up with typical British humor: "I think it's time to sell granny to get a ticket."
Jerusalem is at the San Francisco Playhouse until March 8. For tickets, call 415 677 9695 or visit www.sfplayhouse.org

Austin Pucylowski is a first-team MVFC All-Academic selection after being a second-team selection in 2011.
Nov. 28, 2012
ST. LOUIS – SIU junior punter Austin Pucylowski has been selected to the Missouri Valley Football Conference All-Academic first team, the MVFC announced Monday. In addition, sophomore offensive lineman Corey Boemer, senior linebacker Joe Okon and senior long snapper Jason Stegman each earned second-team honors.
Complete MVCF All-Academic Team
Pucylowski averaged 40.2 yards per punt in 2012 and pinned 23 of his 71 punts inside the 20-yard line with only seven touchbacks.

Despite Leaky Methane, is Natural Gas is Still Worth the Switch?
The U.S. is in a golden age for natural gas. Will leaky infrastructure bring it to an end?
A new report, issued today in Science, is the latest to tackle the difficult issue of how much gas – and its primary ingredient, methane – leaks into the atmosphere. This may seem a bit arcane, but it's a critical issue for the future of the energy industry and the transportation sector as well.
Here's a quick rundown: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, more potent than carbon dioxide. Natural gas has been on a roll in the past decade, as hydraulic fracturing has turned the U.S. from an energy pauper into a prince. Natural gas has grabbed market share from coal for power generation, making the U.S. economy less carbon intensive.
But if too much gas leaks into the atmosphere – from drilling pads, pipelines, machinery, etc. – that would negate its climate benefits. And who wants to get behind a cleaner energy source if it's not really all that clean?
The Cynthia and George Mitchell Foundation funded a meta-analysis of the question. Yes, that's the same George Mitchell whose Mitchell Energy pioneered fracking in the late 1990s.
The authors of the study, issued today in Science, looked at more than 200 earlier studies of natural gas infrastructure and emissions to come up with overarching findings about how much methane was leakage. Some previous studies had measured leaks at the level of individual machines, while others had used airplanes to measure area-wide emissions.
The results of the meta-study amount to a challenge to the energy industry: you must do more to prevent leaks, and you can.
The big takeaway is that natural gas is still preferable to coal for generating electricity. "Although our study found natural gas leaks more methane than previously thought, the shift to natural gas is still a positive move for climate-change-mitigation efforts" says Francis O'Sullivan, director of research at the MIT Energy Initiative. Moreover, fracking itself isn't the main culprit behind leaking methane, as Jesse Jenkins points out on the Energy Collective. Leaky equipment, bad valves and the like are to blame.
Another point in the Science article: Because of leaks, switching cars, buses and trucks from diesel to natural gas doesn't yield an appreciable climate benefit. Not that there are a lot of cars out there powered by natural gas, but trucks and buses have been making the switch from diesel. Power plants use hundreds of times more natural gas, so the findings on electricity generation – that switching to natural gas is good for the climate — are significant.
The new article also makes the point, which has been made by other researchers, that there are many ways to reduce methane emissions from the gas production and delivery system. And there are some particularly big leaks, such as a valve accidentally left open or a small piece of equipment that needs replacing, that that can easily be fixed.

I can't wait to see what Snyder does. My bet is that he will decide that while his restraint in the past couple of years has helped, he is one or two players from a super bowl team and make some terrible free agent signings and shoot them back into oblivion. There is a reason that this is the first division championship since 1999 (Champ Bailey's rookie year)
the unemployment figures for NFL head coaching positions went to five, unfortunately my team wasnt one of those yet......but the day is still young
Just hope for once they hire some new faces instead of recycling the same tired coaches

By Logan Lowery
Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – There have been several factors that have led to Mississippi State's current three-game losing streak.
But one constant factor in all three losses for the Bulldogs is struggling against zone defenses.
MSU has shot the ball poorly outside of the lane this season, and zone defenses have prevented the Bulldogs from getting the ball inside to center Gavin Ware and kept leading scorer Craig Sword from slashing to the basket.
"I've never seen so much zone in my life or in my career," said coach Rick Ray. "What we have to do is find a way to get people out of the zone by knocking down some shots. What we can't do is settle. When we see a zone we've settled for shots. I think we need to continue to probe and attack the zone.
"When we see man-to-man there's a lot more driving lanes and there's more opportunities to attack those lanes. But I still think we have some driving lanes against the zone, and we've got to do a better job as a coaching staff of exposing those driving lanes and giving our guys an opportunity to see them."
In the last three games, State's leading scorers Sword (6.6) and Ware (8.0) are well below their usual double digit output.
Fewer free throws
Another area where the zone defense has cut down the Bulldogs offensive numbers has been on the free throw line.
Prior to the past three games, Mississippi State was averaging 25.7 free throw attempts per outing. During the three game skid, the Bulldogs have managed just 26 free throw shots combined.
"The past two ballgames we've only gotten to the free throw line six times apiece," Ray said. "We've got to get back into attacking mode and getting to the free throw line."
However, getting points from the line has not been easy for MSU, either. The Bulldogs are 13th in the Southeastern Conference, making just 64.7 percent.
Rough road
State's struggles on the road continued this past weekend at Vanderbilt. The Bulldogs have now lost 13 straight away games dating back to last season.
Ray is just 1-16 on the road during his two years in Starkville and 0-5 this season.
His lone victory came in his SEC opener at Georgia on Jan. 12, 2013.
"The teams I've had success with in the past on the road have been experienced, veteran-laden teams," Ray said. "For our guys who are freshmen and sophomores, these are the first times they've played at these places.
"By the time they are juniors and seniors it's almost like old habit because they've played there before, it's never a new experience and they are never in awe of that."

With their loss Friday night to Atlanta in Chase Field, the Diamondbacks' home record dropped to 9-23.
By all standards, that's not very good and the consensus around the clubhouse is a total mystery why the home record is less than acceptable. Reasons and explanations are hard to discover, but one thing remains certain. The D-backs' home record needs to improve.
Conversely, the Diamondbacks have the third best road record in the National League, and that's a mark of 15-13.
Yet, any explanation regarding their home record is met with ambiguity.
"I really think the talk about not winning at home is a non-factor," said outfielder Cody Ross. "In other sports, home field is probably more important but not in baseball. It's more about match-ups. But, generally, I can't explain why we're playing better on the road."
At home, the Diamondbacks have put together consecutive wins only twice all season. That would include victories on May 17 and 18 against the Dodgers and May 28 against the Padres and May 29 against the Reds. This also includes a six-game losing streak from April 11 through April 15 and swept in two series by the Dodgers and Mets in Chase Field.
Coming into play Saturday against Atlanta, the Diamondbacks were 15 games behind the National League West Division-leading San Francisco Giants and if Arizona is to make up any ground, production at home must improve.
Since dropping the opening two games against the Dodgers in Australia, the Diamondbacks have put up the worst home record of any team in the majors and currently stand as the only team to lose 20 or more games at home in contests through this past Friday.
"I'm not sure why this is happening," added shortstop Chris Owings. "Everyone is showing up and ready to play. We can control only what we can control."
Last season, the Diamondbacks managed a decent home record. For the 82 games, they went 45-36 but 36-45 on the road. That translated into an 81-81 season and the second straight year of .500 baseball. In the 2011, they captured 51 of the 81 home games on their way to the National League West Division title.
In each of the subsequent two seasons, they turned in opposite but identical records home/away records. In 2012, the D-backs were 41-40 at home at 40-41 on the road.
Over the next three weeks, the schedule is considered favorable.
Beginning with Sunday's series-finale against the Braves, they have 12 of their next 17 games in Chase Field. By the time they hit the road for series in San Diego, Pittsburgh and Atlanta at the end of June and early July, their season should be pretty much defined.
When the Diamondbacks dealt Justin Upton to the Braves on Jan. 24, 2013, Arizona also sent third baseman Chris Johnson as part of the trade.
All Johnson did was lead the Braves in hitting last season with a .321 average and chipped in with 34 doubles, 12 home runs and 68 RBIs. The Braves rewarded Johnson and inked the 29-year-old native of Naples, Fla. to a three year, $27.25 million contract extension last month.
"I guess you can look at Chris as 'a throw-in' to the trade," said Braves' manager Freddie Gonzalez before Saturday's game with the D-backs in Chase Field. "What we like about Chris is that he always gives you a professional at-bat. I like his bat and it's nice to have his presence in the middle of our line-up."
Coming into Saturday's game, Johnson was hitting .257 (56-218) with 11 doubles, two home runs and 14 RBIs in 58 games.
