environmental diseases
Monday 23 March 2009
The magnitude and extent of illness related to environmental exposures are difficult to ascertain. The Environmental Protection Agency estimates that more than 80,000 chemicals are currently used in the United States; approximately 1500 are pesticides and 5500 are food additives that affect our water and food supplies.
Although only 600 of these chemicals have been tested, 10% have produced cancer in at least one rodent species.2 Industrial chemicals, production byproducts, and metals are commonly detected at hazardous waste sites.
There are currently 11,300 Superfund-designated waste sites in the United States. The potential human health hazards associated with exposure to chemical mixtures is a major concern.
There is considerable difference in the magnitudes of exposure in the occupational and environmental settings. Occupational exposures affect a defined cohort of workers who are exposed to chemicals in the range of parts per million (ppm); by contrast, environmental exposures to these same chemicals in the air, water, or hazardous waste sites may be in the parts per billion (ppb) or parts per trillion (ppt) range. The health effects of such chronic, low-level exposures are unknown.
In the United States, four regulatory agencies determine exposure limits for environmental and occupational hazards: the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
The Environmental Protection Agency regulates exposure to pesticides, toxic chemicals, water and air pollutants, and hazardous wastes. The FDA regulates drugs, medical devices, food additives, and cosmetics. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration mandates that employers (including hospitals and physicians) provide safe working conditions for employees. All other products sold for use in homes, schools, or recreation are regulated by the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
Physicians should be familiar with current approaches used by regulatory agencies in the United States and be prepared to explain the strengths and limitations of the scientific evidence in nontechnical terms.
Health care providers must be prepared to counsel patients about the primary prevention of disease related to occupational and environmental exposures, taking into account potential synergistic effects of mixed exposures and individual genetic susceptibility.
Prevention of tobacco smoking would prevent 80% to 90% of lung cancers; how-ever, this objective has been difficult to achieve, especially in teenagers. Strategies for secondary prevention of lung cancer in former or current smokers (e.g., chemoprevention) have been disappointing so far.
Prevention of occupationally related diseases rests on defining and enforcing safe exposure levels, developing new technologies to reduce industrial exposures, and identifying less toxic substitutes for industrial and chemical agents. These strategies require a basic understanding of biochemical and molecular mechanisms of toxicity.

Perfect Tunes for your "summer send-off soiree"
Phew! It seems like we've finally passed the sweltering summer temperatures. While I'm not quite ready for summer to be over, at least in Ohio, it appears that we can now look forward to cool, crisp nights and gathering around the fire pits. With the humidity a bit more under control for the rest of the season, we can return to inviting the neighborhood and friends over for some end of season fun. It's time to get off of our smartphones and away from our computers! We've only got a month or so left of the summer season, why not enjoy it? Planning a gathering doesn't have to be difficult either. Simply hold a potluck style party. That way everyone is responsible for a certain dish, alleviating you from doing all of the heavy lifting. As the host, you will have to handle creating a playlist of songs perfect for your party. Well, no need to stress on that front, we've put together your perfect summer music playlist!
We've included everything in this playlist–the classics, the hits, and even some singles you may not have heard before. As I doubt you'll use all of these tracks, I know that these will definitely help you find inspiration. Remember, your summer song playlist is important– it will set the tone, pace and overall atmosphere for your party. If you're looking for a subtle, relaxing party, dance and techno will probably not be the genre for you. Even though we've included a mix of today's hits and past classics, you won't be finding Nelly's "Hot in Herre" single on this one–even though he's one of my favorites!
*TIP: Be careful not to be biased in your song selection. Just because you have a love for polka doesn't mean everyone does…Also, while we mention a few classics below, try to stay away from the over-the-top cheesy summer songs like "Summer of '69" by Bryan Adams or "School's Out For Summer" by Alice Cooper. Those two could benefit from some time off.
Unless you're going for a certain theme, keep the music mixed. You can create a great summer song playlist with a variety of different genres and still fit your party's mood.
Classic Summer Songs
It wouldn't be an actual summer music playlist if we didn't credit the artists who paved the way. Those of you who think Katy Perry's "California Gurls" was an original title and not a summer homage you are sorely mistaken, not to mention strangely sheltered… Here are some of the summer classics we've all heard!
Beach Boys – "I Get Around" (1964)
No summer music playlist would be a signature, seasonal soundtrack without the original boys of summer. The Beach Boys made their career off of singing about beach parties, surfing, and good times. They even have a whole CD devoted to their greatest hits about summer!
Mungo Jerry – "In the Summertime" (1970)
Here is the perfect song to kick off any summer music playlist. British pop-blues band Mungo Jerry found success with this summer celebration selling over 30 million copies. As soon as the first melodies hit your ears this catchy single is immediately stuck in your head. You'll even find yourself whistling or humming it without realizing! Over forty years old, this classic carefree song is one of the highest selling singles of all time.
Don Henley – "Boys of Summer" (1984)
One of Henley's most well known songs has been covered countless of times, and is a perfect song for the cool summer nights. Following his success with The Eagles, Henley went solo and continued to release chart topping singles. This love-lost, end of season reflection is the perfect track for active, dance parties as well as your calming, social gatherings.
Jimmy Buffet - "Margaritaville" (1977)
Buffet wrote this song after discovering the drink down in Austin, TX and as a reflection on Key West's sudden tourist takeover. I'm usually not a betting person but I know for sure it'd be pretty difficult to find someone who doesn't know this single! Here's a great laid-back song that will have you and your guests singing the tune all night!
The Drifters – "Under the Boardwalk" (1964)
Here's a song synonymous with a passion for the seaside. It's a classic that many know the words to but are unfamiliar with the group themselves. The Drifters had their fair share of lead singers, with Ben E. King, Rudy Lewis and Johnny Moore who was the actual vocalist for this hit single. This beach hit has been covered by many with one of the most recent covers performed during the NJ Hurricane Sandy Benefit where Jimmy Fallon, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Steven Tyler.
Bob Marley & The Wailers-"Sun is Shining" (1971)
It's almost entirely impossible to create an ultimate summer song playlist and not include the late and iconic Bob Marley. This reggae artist helped bring a new genre of music to the masses singing messages about peace and loving one another instead of resorting to violence. Even though Marley has been dead for over two decades his songs live on, spreading his message for peace for generations to come.
Chicago - "Saturday in the Park" (1972)
The flourishing horns, harmonies, and light melodies make this memorable single a great addition to any summer song playlist. According to one of the band members singer/songwriter Robert Lamm was inspired after seeing a group of steel drummers, singers, and dancers performing in Central Park on July 4th. It's a great track to liven up the mood and get people dancing or a great way to kick off a party!
The Beatles – "Here Comes the Sun" (1969)
This just happens to be one of the quartet's many gems as you or I could probably take some considerable time going through the list. It's got everything you need in a song, the dreamy melody, catchy guitar, smooth singing and great harmonies. Top that off with lyrics basically saying no matter how bad it gets it'll always get better and you can see why it'd be a great addition to any playlist.
Summer's Chart Toppers and Popular Singles
Throughout the past few years, there have been singles released in the early summer months that dominated the charts for the entire season. Others are classics overlooked by some and cherished by others. You'll still be able to pick and choose through the variety of songs below as their only common trait is being released in the last decade.
Weezer – "Island In The Sun" (2001)
Before singing about Beverly Hills and how they have the "Magic" in them, Weezer kept churning out catchy singles while staying low-key. Their commercial success came with their single "Island in the Sun." This catchy single makes us all yearn for a trip to Hawaii or somewhere else tropical, and relaxing. While we continue to save our change we at least have this breezy song filled with good times for motivation. "Island in the Sun" is a great summer song and addition to any summer party playlist.
The Ataris – "In This Diary" (2003)
Little known pop-punk artists The Ataris rose to MTV and commercial status when they released So Long, Astoria which was a nod to "The Goonies." One of their first singles was this nostalgic radio rock sensation, "In This Diary." This song spanned generations bringing every individual back to their childhood summers. Even if you don't choose it for your summer music playlist, still give it a listen and return to your favorite summer memories.
Daft Punk – "Get Lucky" (2013)
The first tantalizing track off of their latest release Random Access Memories, Daft Punk kicked off this summer season perfectly with their hypnotic melodies complementing Pharell's vocals without fail. This catchy toe-tapper took over the radio and the charts hitting the top ten in 32 countries. With the nostalgic disco era music and the smooth vocals this song is perfect addition to your summer music playlist. If you've been following them since they release "One More Time" this is definitely one track you can overlook!
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – "Can't Hold Us" ft. Ray Dalton (2013)
Probably one of this year's biggest up-and-coming groups Macklemore and Ryan Lewis take the independent music scene to new heights. The track's title is perfect as nothing seems to be able to stand in Macklemore & Co.'s way as they churn out hit after hit. For those of you looking for an upbeat gathering be sure to add this to your summer music playlist. It will only be a matter of seconds before your guests are clapping and singing along!
Justin Timberlake – "Summer Love" (2006)
Another hit single from past summer seasons is this pop hit "Summer Love." Off of JT's follow-up to Justified this single was just one of many to contribute to his success. Since going solo Timberlake has show that he definitely had the talent and potential to surpass the "boy band" stigma. Enjoy this upbeat single on your summer music playlist!
Zac Brown Band – "Free" (2008)
For me, it wouldn't be a true summer music playlist without a little hint of country! Of course it's debatable with Zac Brown Band as "Free" and many of their other singles cross many genres, appealing to a wider audience. This single in particular is an amazing seasonal pick as the laid back folkish melody and harmonies create a perfect song about finding that perfect person.
Jimmy Eat World – "The Authority Song" (2001)
Here's a track many of you may not be familiar with. While the rock band Jimmy Eat World went platinum after their commercial success with "The Middle," Bleed American (later changed to Jimmy Eat World) also contained this upbeat hidden gem. Combining a catchy rhythm, dual gender vocals, and lyrics saying, "I want to live my life with no care" this track could definitely be a great addition to your summer song playlist.
Carly Rae Jepsen – "Call Me Maybe" (2012)
It's amazing what the Internet has done for certain new artists. Little known singer Carly Rae Jepsen gave viral a whole new meaning as she dominated the greater half of last year. With all corners of pop culture covering her song in one way or another. Still, it's one of those songs you reluctantly find yourself singing when you're alone in the car, only to realize you have an audience of cars all staring at you as you rock out. Not that I've ever found myself in a situation like that…
Summer's Perfect Soundtrack Wrap-Up
As you can see there are plenty of great songs you can add to your summer music playlist for your next gathering or party. From the relaxing, cheerful classics to today's catchiest songs this collection can fuel your backyard barbecue through the night! Although I have a slight bias towards country music I tried my best to keep it assorted. That is what's great about making playlists, all are unique based on your preferences, and no two will ever be exactly the same. Feel free to put together your ultimate summer song playlist; I'd love to see who makes it onto yours!
After talking with fellow blogger Rebekah McNabb I saw we have a lot of great tracks in common. Take a look at her great Summer Music Playlist by clicking here!

In the last episode, Daniel and Emily begin the war against each other, but Emily ends up with the upper hand as she is able to break apart Daniel and Sara. Nico has begun her journey for revenge, but things turn sour when she realizes that it was Aiden that killed her father. Patrick learns the truth of his father and looks like he was looking for revenge.
In this week's episode, titled 'Payback', Emily's blackouts get worse and Nico and Conrad's first wife seek to get revenge on the ones that hurt them.
Emily tries to get the answers to why she's been blacking out and is frustrated with what the doctors say. These blackouts are causing more problems with Emily as she does things in her subconscious that disrupts her revenge plan. She had called Conrad's first wife, Stevie, so that she could divorce Daniel. It looks like when she blacks out, her subconscious tells the truth. Obviously not a good thing for someone who lives in lies.
Emily now has to try and learn with the possibility that she could be like her mother. Could she call on her mother to help her deal with it? Or is she going to try on her own? Based on past experiences, it will probably be option 2.
Patrick lies to Victoria about how he started the fire. He made it seem it was an accident but it looked deliberate. He's up to something especially since he called on Jimmy to fix up the Gallery. As Patrick meets Jimmy, he learns that Jimmy regrets not knowing another son (whom Patrick thinks is him).
Jimmy is oblivious to the fact that he had once known Victoria, he makes a move on her. She relives what happened to her. There is a shuffle and Patrick hurts him, badly. Victoria prevents Patrick from getting help, telling Jimmy to "Relax, honey".
Nico takes Aiden hostage, looking to seek her own revenge. She plans on killing Emily when she comes for Aiden so that Aiden can live with the loss that Nico felt when her father was killed. Don't think it will be to hard since Nico was jealous of Emily's relationship with Takedo anyways.
Stevie comes in and really shakes up people of the Hamptons. She comes to help Emily divorce Daniel and stays so that she can seek revenge on Victoria and Conrad. On the surface, you think it's because of how her divorce ended with Conrad, but as the show ends, you realize she wants revenge because she is Jack's real mother and she wants them to payback for hurting Jack.
In next week's episode, Emily puts her plan in overdrive as she tries to take down the Graysons before her mentality disability takes over her.

Paddlers entering the annual South Dakota Kayak Challenge this weekend will be the first to officially race down one of the newest additions to the National Water Trail System, according to reporter Derek Bartos.
This year the annual South Dakota Kayak Challenge begins with check-in and activities Friday, May 24 in Yankton, South Dakota followed by the race down the Missouri River on Saturday and Sunday.
This year the National Park Service will add an extra level of excitement to the intensity and anticipation that usually precede an important competition. According to Derek Bartos, of the Yankton Daily Press & Dakotan, "In conjunction with Friday's safety briefing, the National Park Service (NPS) will hold its ribbon cutting and official dedication of the Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) Water Trail"
There is always an incredible degree of excitement when a river or other waterways of designated a National Water Trail by the (NPS) and the National Water Trails program, according to the Canoe and Kayak Magazine.
"This morning (December 19, 2013) the National Park Service added three waterways to its National Water Trails program, including a 147-mile section of the Missouri River in South Dakota, and scenic routes in Michigan and Iowa. The new trails bring the number of trails in the program to 14."
Typically, a National Water Trail means that everybody benefits, the local community, the state and especially paddlers. However, the waterway might be the biggest winner. In 2013, Jonathan B. Jarvis, Director of NPS, stated, 'These National Water Trails provide exemplary close-to-home places for people to explore and enjoy." In addition, "I am particularly happy to have these trails added to the system. They are cooperatively supported and sustained through efforts of community, state and federal partners.'
This year according to Bartos, Dugan Smith of the (NPS) stated, "Local people know it's a great resource and a great place to fish and hunt and kayak and canoe on." In addition, "We want to spread the word to the nation and the world that, if you want to take an adventure on the river, this is the place to come."
Bartos emphasized that the (NPS) designated Missouri National Recreational River (MNRR) for several reasons. One of which is that it proves opportunities for local paddlers, the community and visitors with recreation and travel nearly all year round. "The designation offers extra protection for the waterway, more funding and resource opportunities and added promotion for the recreational activities available."
South Dakota Tourism Secretary James Hagen and Lieutenant Gov. Matt Michels were present for the ribbon cutting ceremony, along with Jarett Bies, co-founder of the South Dakota Kayak Challenge. At least 123 paddlers were on hand to the historic event.

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN ; 3 August 1850; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18500803-TC-JCA-01; CL 25: 133-134
Boverton, Cowbridge, South Wales, Saturday 3 augt / 1850
My dear Sister,
I must write you a word today to indicate my whereabout, and let you know that I am well; but time is so short (the Post just approaching, and other Notes to write), it can only be one word at present. I left Chelsea on Wednesday; staid all night at Bath (90 or 100 miles off) with one Savage Landor, an honourable angry-tempered old literary gentleman; came on next morning to Bristol (10 or 15 miles), got straightway into a Welsh steamer there; sailed 2½ hours across to Cardiff, and was there taken up by Chs Redwood, my "beneficent Welsh Attorney" into his hospitable "tub-gig," and rolled away hither some 13 or 14 miles into the interior, to his strange Hermitage here at Boverton, where I hope to continue in unexampled quietude, sea-bathing and riding, and doing nothing at all, for a week or two; and so gather vigour for farther adventures.
It is the most sequestered mode of life I ever had experience of in this world. The place is altogether in a wild unfrequented, tho' flat and not naturally unfruitful district, which extends between Cowbridge (a smartish Yellow-ochred Town, equal to Lockerby or so) and the solitary south Coast; a Country all cut with the roughest bridle-lanes in every direction, and hardly any smooth road; every mile or two a straggling sleepy sluttish-looking village, or Clachan of 50 or 100 souls (generally with some ruinous old Castle in it); and the Sea and "the English Hills" (Somersetshire Hills) always visible near by to the South. We are about a mile from the Sea-beach here, where there is excellent bathing, in perfection of solitude: Redwood goes off to Cowbridge daily to his Office after breakfast; and leaves me bird-alone in the House, where there is not even a servant to disturb me,—his two servants live in a house entering by another door, and are always within call, but not under this roof;—we are in a kind of Village "Boverton," but cut off from it too by walls, trees, bushes and lawn, as if it were fifty miles away: at this present writing (Noon, Saturday, bright breezy weather), I have a big bay-window open, a bit of green lawn and bushes visible, and actually no sound at all audible, except the ticking of a big lobby-clock, and the general sough of the summer woods round me: so I remain, varying it as I like, till six, when Redwood returns. If this will not do for a Hermitage, there is no use trying that trade at all! Add to everything that Redwood is a very taciturn man,—not a "conversical man" by any means;—and likes and honours me very much: a man that seems to have less intercourse with neighbours than any other man now living, I shd say! Unhappily he is very dull to talk with; and if it were not for very shame I wd read altogether, as I do mostly, all the time of his presence too. He furnishes me with a capital horse (big poney kind) moreover; and I mean to have a dip in the sea every day while I am here.
Well, dear Jean, this is mainly all I had to tell you; and much more than I at first reckoned on. You have my Address now ("Boverton, Cowbridge, S. Wales" will do by itself), and you may now write at any vacant hour in the next week or 10 days.— I wrote yesterday a hurried word to my Mother; if you send this over to them, they will be glad of it too, for I was in a dreadful hurry,—and again am! The Post hour is a most inconvenient one for me.
Jesuitism I suppose came out last Thursday;1 you will soon get it, and that ends the Ball.2
Adieu, dear Jean; commend me to James and them all, till we meet. Your affectionate. T. Carlyle

Dear Friends,
In this seemingly self-destructing world, it is refreshing to review the statement so often expressed by Dr. W. Cleon Skousen: "In the end, we win!" It's getting from here to there that sometimes discourages many but every once in a while a miracle happens which reminds us of the Biblical proclamation that in the last days God will remember His promises. Such a miracle happened in 1996 in Istanbul, Turkey. The unlikely event was a United Nations Conference. The main figure is Professor Richard G. Wilkins of the J. Reuben Clark law School at Brigham Young University. Here is his abridged story used with his permission.
by Richard G. Wilkins
Between June 3rd and 14th, a remarkable UN Conference was convened in Istanbul, Turkey. The Conference, Habitat II, was the culmination of a decade-long series of conferences designed to develop a "blueprint" for international (and ultimately domestic) legal relations during the coming century. These Conferences have been accurately perceived as significant international law-making events. They have also followed a predictable (and extreme) ideological course primarily championed by a feminist lobby that, according to a current Rhodes Scholar, "ha[s] marginalized parents, ignored the family, denigrated cultural and religious values and enshrined reproductive and sexual health." What made the Istanbul Conference remarkable was that it departed from this set course.
This summary sets forth how a small group of Christians, with the Lord's guidance, played a role in changing the course of the Habitat Agenda. Instead of defining "marriage" and/or "family" in a manner that explicitly legitimates same-sex marriages and families (as did the original draft), the final Habitat Agenda defines the marital relationship as one between "husband and wife." Instead of numerous explicit paragraphs mandating world-wide abortion on demand, only one (somewhat hedged) reference to "reproductive health" remains. The Habitat Agenda, finally, formally recognizes the "family" as "the basic unit of society" that "should be strengthened." These developments, viewed from the perspective of current American and European legal trends, are significant.
At the outset, I want to emphasize one point: along with every other person who attended the conference, I believe it was the Hand of God, not man, that turned the tide at Istanbul. I was simply one of a number of people blessed enough to be an instrument in His Hand. I call it "The Istanbul Miracle".
UN Mandates Become US Government Policy
I had previously been approached by Susan Roylance, president of United Families International, to write an article for her forthcoming book called, "The Traditional Family in Peril". She wanted me to write a short chapter describing the effect of UN conference declarations on the domestic policies of nations. She had recently attended the Beijing Women's Conference, and reported to me that the mandates contained in that document were exceptionally troubling. I agreed to assist her, and wrote a very short paper for inclusion in her book. This experience peaked my interest for the first time in international law. I began some preliminary research and found, for example, that even though the Beijing Platform For Action had never been formally adopted by the United States Congress, it was nevertheless being implemented by a White House Task Force through mandates issued by the President to all Executive Agencies. (The Beijing Platform's insistence on public funding of abortion, for example, may well be the actual impetus behind the federal government's sudden insistence that federal law mandates government-funded abortions for all indigent women.)
My preliminary research indicated that -- while numerous scholars were praising the developments flowing from the new UN conference agreements, virtually no-one was questioning whether these developments were a good idea for society as a whole. I became somewhat troubled. It seemed that the UN was beginning to make decisions (involving such issues as land-use planning and allocation of medical care resources) that were best made at a local level. And, perhaps most importantly, at least many of the decisions being made by UN bodies were unfortunate.
Whether the question involved the environment, world population, social development or the status of women, the answer given by the UN seemed to be the same: too many people populated the earth and the best solution was to reduce births dramatically through abortion. Furthermore, there were strong indications in the various UN Conference debates that it was (perhaps) time to begin serious consideration of additional population-reduction alternatives, such as euthanasia for those whose "lives are not worth living."
In the first week of April, 1996, Mrs. Roylance asked me to attend the United Nations Habitat II Conference. She pointed out specific language in the proposed Habitat Agenda that might undermine the family, promote same-sex marriage, and further entrench abortion as the final solution to most of the world's troubles. Her request hastened my research and, within a few weeks, I completed a short paper titled "The Impact Of UN Conference Declarations On International And Domestic Law." The paper pointed out that Conference Declarations quickly became binding international law and that this international law was displacing decisions of local governments. The paper, as a result, urged caution upon the part of those drafting Conference Declarations.
At the time I drafted the paper and decided to attend Habitat II, I was hardly optimistic. I thought that, at most, by delivering a paper at the NGO Forum (an event that might be attended by at least one actual official UN Delegate), I might inspire some decision-maker to exercise caution before further undermining traditional social values. I also drafted proposed amendments to the Habitat Agenda that United Families could use to lobby delegates. These amendments addressed primarily the issues of same-sex marriage, abortion, and the family.
But, despite writing a paper and drafting amendments, I merely intended to deliver that paper, do what I could to further the work of United Families, and watch further social deterioration -- at which point I would come back and write a scholarly paper criticizing the continuing trend. On June 1st, 1996, I left for Istanbul. By June 6th, five days later, my limited intentions had been drastically altered.
The Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Forum
When I arrived in Istanbul, I found that 36 representatives of United Families had registered as guests in the Ulubat Hotel -- hardly the epitome of luxury accommodations. But, whatever the beds and toilet facilities lacked was more than made up for by the spirit and enthusiasm of the group. Most of them were there to participate in what was known as the NGO Forum portion of the Habitat II UN Conference.
The NGO Forum was composed of booths and workshops put on by various (literally thousands) of non-governmental entities who wished to influence the outcome of the UN Conference. The forum was a marketplace, often raucous, of competing views. It was into this turbulent world that most of the residents of the Ulubat Hotel plunged.
My roommate at the Ulubat was Bradford C. Stone, CEO and Chairman of the Board of Homeowners Plus Financial Services, as well as CEO and Chairman of the Board of United Families. He had decided to come -- at the last minute -- to assist the Steven and Claudia Goodman family who, with nine of their 12 children, were in Istanbul to perform a family-values-oriented concert written for them by Kenneth Cope, a well-known composer and artist.
During the first week of Habitat II, the Goodman Family and Kenneth Cope took Istanbul by storm. They performed at the NGO Forum, at a large university theater, gave a huge public performance in the main public park in Istanbul, and -- ultimately -- sang before the opening ceremonies on the next-to-the-last day of the high-level plenary session of the Conference. The work of the Goodmans, Kenneth Cope and Bradford Stone in spreading the love and spirit of the Gospel would be hard to estimate. An American paper in Istanbul, for example, reported that they had "outdone" the Habitat Conference itself. The Goodmans were on Turkish television and radio numerous times, and 5,000 tapes of their concert were distributed.
In addition to working strenuously to move the Goodman's concert equipment from venue to venue, Mr. Stone, as Chairman of the Board of United Families, made numerous contacts with representatives from over 60 countries who were interested in United Families. Many of these persons, moreover, expressed interest in the religious beliefs that motivated the organization.
United Families had set up two booths at the NGO Forum -- one for United Families itself and the Second to distribute materials from the Thrasher Foundation. These booths were manned 10 hours a day and distributed various pro-family materials and became a magnet for people from around the world, who would come back many times to discuss family issues. Young people from Islamic nations were particularly interested in the booth.
Representatives from United Families also presented numerous workshops at the NGO Forum. These workshops covered topics such as How To Build Sustainable Families, by Dr. Edward Fila, How Two-Parent Families Can Benefit the Community, by Roberta Stapley, a Christian marriage and family counselor, The Bountiful Gift, by Elaine McKay, and The Rural-Urban Linkage, by Carol Ubochukwu, President of United Families of Africa. These workshops, many of which were repeated multiple times, were attended by hundreds of NGO participants.
For my part, I delivered my paper regarding the effect of UN Conferences on local and international law. While it was clear that the various concerts and activities at the NGO Forum booths and workshops were having a positive impact on numerous non-governmental actors and individuals, I had little (or no) illusions that anyone's efforts would have much influence (let alone a positive one) on the Delegates actually drafting the Habitat Agenda.
I was wrong.
The Habitat Agenda Changes Course
A few days after delivering my paper, I became a little surprised that a 26-page paper dashed off by a law professor and a student assistant would cause any stir in Istanbul.
The head of the US Delegation, Melinda Kimble, told Sister Roylance that she was unaware that the decisions made at UN Conferences could have such a wide impact. She asked for several copies of the article, and said that most of the US Delegation had read it with interest. Other delegates from other nations asked for copies, and I engaged in several formal and informal discussions of the topic.
Throughout the first week, we spent a lot of time passing out proposed amendments to the Habitat Agenda and various fliers explaining why these amendments were "good ideas." Mrs. Roylance, whose energy and stamina at times seemed inexhaustible, often stayed up most of the night composing and printing these fliers.
The proposed amendments and their supporting fliers emphasized that families were the essential components of any stable community, that "traditional" (not same-sex) marriages and families should be fostered, and that preserving a measure of local sovereignty regarding the issues covered in Habitat II was a good idea. While we had many cordial talks with Delegates, and seemed to be making some headway with representatives from African and Islamic nations, things did not look too bright by the end of the first week.
On Thursday, June 6th of the first week, a Christian man from Nairobi, who happened to be attending the NGO Forum, passed by the United Families booth when it was unmanned. He nevertheless paused because he determined that it would be a good idea to have someone speak in favor of the family before the official UN Conference.
This man, Johnson N. Mwaura, was a member of the selection committee who would choose a mere 12 NGO voices to address the Delegates drafting the Habitat Agenda. He returned to the booth later in the afternoon and, sensing the spirit of our work, urged the group to nominate someone to speak. I was nominated.
I will not lengthen this summary by detailing here the circumstances of how I was eventually selected. The details of those events, which clearly evidence the intervention of Heavenly Father, are set out in the longer report. But, upon hearing that I had been nominated for a speaking opportunity that no-one in our group even knew about before Johnson Mwaura appeared (because non-governmental representatives had never addressed an official UN body before), I knew that I would be selected to speak and that the time between the nomination and my address would be one of the most difficult periods of my life.
After the Adversary had exhausted every possible tool to keep me from the podium, I was finally allowed to address an official UN drafting committee for four minutes on the importance of considering the family when making international lawmaking decisions. In that effort, I tried to get across the spirit of the Proclamation on the Family, authored by Gordon B. Hinckley, Thomas S. Monson, and James E. Faust. Indeed, on the Sunday that I drafted the address -- in the midst of extremely adverse circumstances -- the only text I had open before me was a copy of that Proclamation. My constant prayer was that the message of that Declaration would touch some hearts.
As I went to the podium on Monday morning, June 10, a few of the women on the platform who had spoken before me hissed. But the message was given. And, after the meeting, several Delegates (and a couple of Ambassadors) from various nations came up to thank me (some with tears in their eyes) for saying things they had always believed.
Two days after my address, the "Heads And Members Of Arab Delegations Participating In The UN Conference" issued a statement -- first in Arabic and then in English -- which stated that they would sign no Agenda that did not recognize the value of religious and cultural heritage, that did not recognize the family as the basic unit of society, that did not acknowledge that marriage consisted of a union between men and women (not individuals of the same sex), and that failed to clarify that no nation had the obligation to provide abortion services because the "fetus have [has] the full night [right] to live and be raised according to religious and local norms."
The next day, the G-77 nations, consisting of 139 African, Asian, and Pacific Rim States, plus China, took a similar stand: they would sign no Agenda that did not preserve important local sovereign flexibility in implementing Agenda goals, would not sign an Agenda that recognized same-sex marriage and failed to recognize the importance of traditional families, and would not sign any Agenda that required abortion on demand. That same day, the United Kingdom, through its Secretary of State for the Environment, issued a strong statement urging the Conference to reject the "culture of death."
It is impossible, of course, to attach any direct causal connection to any event -- or series of events -- and the outcome of a UN Conference. There is no way of even knowing whether the Goodmans' concerts, the discussions at the NGO Forum booths, the workshops or my remarks on June 10 had any impact at all. But, what is clear is that, by Wednesday of the second week, the entire Conference had been turned upside down. What had looked, from the beginning, like another total victory for the traditional feminist agenda was -- instead -- looking something like a total defeat.
Delegates stayed up through the night on various occasions between Wednesday and Friday, trying to come to some agreement on the important issues of sovereignty, family, homosexuality and abortion. I simply testify that I personally felt the Power of Heaven between Monday June 10 and Saturday June 16 in a manner I have never known before. I have no doubt -- nor does any member of our little group -- that the final Habitat Agenda language was crafted because the Spirit operated so convincingly on so many people.
If anyone would have told me, a mere month ago, that an important international conference would reaffirm the centrality of the family, reject homosexual unions, and retreat significantly from former world-wide commitments to abortion, I would have called that person either an inexperienced optimist or a fool. That person, however, would have been neither. He simply would have been a person who knew that, "with God all things are possible." Matt. 19:26.
Thank you, Dr. Wilkins, for your great example. May God grant us all the strength to do all we can, so He will make up the difference to accomplish all.
I look forward to reporting to you about our week-long Citizenship Seminar in July. The enthusiasm for such events seems to have sparked a growing interest in expanding such activities into other places in the nation in coming months. Thank you all for your continuing support of our NCCS efforts.
Earl Taylor, Jr.
PS We just received an e-mail message from Dr. Wilkins as follows:
I am currently in Rome, attending the second week of a five-week conference to create an International Criminal Court. The stakes are much higher than they were in Istanbul; the very liberty of religious groups to practice their fundamental beliefs is on the line. So, please pray for the Lord's intervention here as in Istanbul. It is sorely needed. No one person, or group of persons, can do what is necessary to prevent serious harm from being done to traditional values here in Rome. We need the Hand of God.
Thanks for your support.

Carlton Apprentice Awards
2012-02-03 17:00:00
As I mentioned briefly in my post last week, we had the Carlton Apprentice Awards Night at the Carlton Hotel Kinsale last Thursday. For those of you that have been following my blog you'll know we recently ran a competition to search for the new Carlton Apprentice, following the success of last year's campaign. After a tough competition Louise Rennison from the Carlton Castletroy Park Hotel won the overall competition and became the new Carlton Apprentice.
The awards night in Kinsale gave me the chance to reward all the Apprentices for their hard work and commitment throughout the task. Not only did I present Louise with her prizes, I also presented certificates to all apprentices as recognition of the work they put into the competition. Unfortunately some of them were unable to attend but their general managers were there to collect the certificates for them. It was great to get the chance to catch up with the apprentices and find out what they've been up to since the competition. I'd like to take this opportunity to wish Louise, and all the apprentices, the best of luck for the year ahead.
The RBS Six Nations is back this weekend which makes my weekend plans all set. With France playing Italy and Scotland playing England tomorrow I plan to stay in to catch both games. Then on Sunday of course we have the all-important Ireland and Wales match which will hopefully have a better outcome then the result at the World Cup. I think Ireland will be successful in their bid to beat the Welsh squad but we'll just have to wait until Sunday for the result.
Whatever you're up to at the weekend I hope you enjoy it and don't forget to cheer on Ireland on Sunday!

Review: Nora
Bloody Nora! We have another stripped-down classic from Scandinavia. What's all this Norse play? Why this particular rebel writer from a chilly, windswept land far, far away? Is it that our Gen Y theatre makers feel Henrik Ibsen's works, which evoke his homeland of Norway, an insular and remote country in Europe in the nineteenth century, somewhat reflects their feelings about Australia, in the here and now?
I like the look of this production. Marg Horwell's simple set of white metal frames forms the skeleton of the Helmer's house. It is a physical metaphor for a marriage. If the frame is strong, it will provide the support for anything that might follow, but if it is weak, no amount of high end finishes is going to hide the flaws. So here we have Nora (Blazey Best) scurrying between rooms, dealing with demanding kids, (Toby Challenor and Indiana Gregg on opening night) and a persistently patronising husband Torvald (Damien Ryan) and it all appears as if it could blow over at any second.
For this latest re think of the 1879 domestic drama, Kit Brookman and Anne-Louise Sarks (who also directs) have relocated to contemporary Sydney. Their script focuses on the main characters and central relationship. We've lost Nils Krogstad so bye bye to the blackmail plot. Dr Rank and Christine Linde have also been eliminated. What Brookman and Sarks actually do in a series of brief episodes is invite us to observe the human dynamics of a relationship that is disintegrating. What became apparent to me is this Nora in this environment is role-playing without conviction. Her decision to walk out the door is also the beginning of a quest to find a more honest version of herself.
At interval I was quite excited and looking forward to what Nora might do next. You can imagine my disappointment then to watch it all become about housework. This extension of original play, which sees her turn up on the doorstep of an old work colleague, Helen (Linda Cropper), really hasn't been thought through well enough.
I can't fault the performances. Best is excellent. Ryan almost had me feeling sorry for his abandoned spouse. I think Brookman and Sarks had an interesting idea. It is a shame it doesn't quite get there.
Nora plays at Belvoir until 14 September. Bookings: 02 9699 3444 or www.belvoir.com.au

This film is a must see.A Mumbai teen who grew up in the slums, becomes a contestant on the Indian version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" He is arrested under suspicion of cheating, and while being interrogated, events from his life history are shown which explain why he knows the answers.
It is sad in some parts and has some scene's that would nt be suitable for children to see.

Is it possible to change the jre parameter values after the exe file is generated through Launch4j?
The ideal scenario is like this:
The default parameter values are applied when the program is started. However, when the user wants to change some jre parameter values, he goes to a .ini file, MyProgram.ini for example, changes the values there, and the new values will be applied next time the program is started. I think eclipse uses the same way for its memory and some other parameter settings.

2013 Fleer Retro Marvel takes a page out of Upper Deck's successful basketball and football Retro releases and brings to collectors a nostalgic trip of the great comic book trading card releases of the past. The premium release is loaded with plenty of card designs and inserts that harken back to the days when Impel/Skybox and Fleer (when it was a non-Upper Deck brand) owned the Marvel license, including the classic Marvel Universe Series 1, 2 and 3, Fleer Ultra X-Men and much more.
But it isn't all retro as the product also includes autograph cards from famous artists like Mark Bagley, Adam Kubert and Arthur Adams, one-of-a-kind sketch cards and inserts and parallels from Fleer sports releases like Quickstrike, Intimidation Nation and the famous Precious Metal Gems.
Seen as a novelty release when they first dropped, Fleer Retro Marvel quickly caught on with collectors when they saw the value that was coming from each box. Unlike in sports releases, the autographs and 1/1s were not the main draw of the product but rather the rare inserts that were legitimately tough to pull from packs. Singles for sets like TI-22 and Hardware were actually selling for more than an artist autographs.
The big hit from Fleer Retro Marvel however was the Precious Metal Gems, a basketball staple that has become popular for its eye-catching luminescent foil design. It isn't uncommon to see PMG green parallels sell for double or even triple what a box of the product will go for, with characters like Spider-Man, Wolverine and Deadpool being the biggest hits of all. Even the easier blue and red parallels can for big money if the character is especially desirable which may or may not have to do if the character has a featured role in the live-action Marvel Comics movies.
Check out our box break of 2013 Fleer Retro Marvel above.

Many of us have seen the pics on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook: Adorable stray dogs roaming the street of Sochi, Russia, during the Winter Olympic Games. Only in Sochi for two or three weeks, US Olympic athletics are bringing back more than medals and memories of these Olympics. They are bringing these dogs to the US to give them a home and a better life.
Many US athletes are bringing dogs back from Sochi. Gus Kenworthy, ski slopestyle, may have become more famous for his adorable Twitter photos of four puppies than for his silver medal finish. He and his family are adopting the four puppies and their mother. Lindsey Jacobellis, snowboard cross, has also brought back a Sochi dog along with several members of the US hockey team.
All this Olympic attention has introduced many to a new animal adoption support organization. Athletes for Animals is a recent non-profit created by David and Kelly Backes along with their friends and teammates. David Backes is the captain of the St. Louis Blues of the NHL and played for Team USA in Sochi. He and his wife Kelly have been passionate about animal rescue and pet adoption since they met in college and have continued to help animals in St. Louis area. Athletes for Animals was founded in November 2013, but the 2014 Sochi Olympics have introduced the organization to the world. The Backes are working to find homes for several of the dogs they found in Sochi and some of Backes' teammates are getting involved.
Other Athlete Ambassadors involved in the organization are Barret Jackman of the St. Louis Blues, Brad Thompson and Kyle McClellan, both former MLB pitchers, David Perron of the Edmonton Oilers, Erik Johnson of the Colorado Avalanche, Jake Long and James Laurinaitis of the St. Louis Rams, Mark Buehrle of the Toronto Blue Jays, Trevor Cahill of the Arizona Diamondbacks, Tyson Strachan of the Washington Capitals and Jessica Schultz of the US Olympic curling team.
On March 16, the organization will host the Stars of Sochi events featuring Olympic hockey players Alex Petrangelo, Kevin Shattenkirk, Patrik Berglund, Vladimir Tarasenko David Backes and many others. The event will be held at Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar in St. Louis and all proceeds will benefit Athletes for Animals. Tickets are $175 per person.

Works fine on desktop but when it comes to mobile (tried it on iPhone iOS 7 + iPad iOS 7 both mini and standard) it doesn't work what is it supposed to i guess. Whats do i have to change to make it work? Best Regards.
what is wrong on iPad or iPhone? I'm just testing the site in iPad4 without problems. Would you mind to provide the screenshot?
Have you tried it on iPhone and can you provide a picture of how it should look on an iPhone, on the iPad it's fine i guess.

Honda's much-awaited 1000cc MotoGP contender, the RC213V, was unveiled at a Repsol Honda news conference last week prior to three days of official testing at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia. The RC213V replaces its 800cc predecessor, the 2011 championship-winning RC212V, with much riding on the shoulders of Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa for the new season.Read More
One of the disappointments of the Tokyo Motor Show which opened today was the lack of information on many of the concepts on show, and in particular, Honda's much awaited first real electric motorcycle. Up close, it looks like the real deal, but not one scrap of information was available on even the specifications. Honda wasn't the only culprit but with its extraordinary technology, we were expecting more. We have lots of pics, but no info whatsoever.Read More
At long last, the world's largest and most influential motorcycle manufacturer appears to be getting serious about electric motorcycles, announcing it will be showing a supersports motorcycle concept at the Tokyo Motor Show next month. Named the RC-E, the images released by Honda indicate a a super sports motorcycle designed solely for the "the joy of riding." Read More
Honda has confirmed that the Crosstourer concept shown at the 2010 EICMA show in Milan will go into mass production. The Crosstourer uses the V4 engine from the VFR1200F, plus long travel suspension, a more upright riding position plus the option of a Dual Clutch Transmission. Clearly Honda is aiming the Crosstourer at the adventure marketplace currently dominated by BMW's R1200GS and populated by the likes of Yamaha's XT1200Z Super Tenere, Ducati's Multistrada, Triumph's Tiger and Suzuki's V-Strom. Just where the bike is positioned in the road-dirt mix with its 1200cc V4 engine is hard to determine just yet.Read More
In a raft of announcements, Honda has developed a highly fuel-efficient, very torquey 700cc twin cylinder engine with a second-generation Dual Clutch Transmission which it will show in three different motorcycle designs at the EICMA 2011 International Motorcycle Exhibition in November in Milan, Italy. The motor will also be paired with a manual six-speed transmission in at least one of those bikes and as it delivers better than 3.7 l/100km and its motor is designed for on-road usability, it is almost certainly the first bike designed for western markets to take advantage of the world's coming gas crisis. Also on display will be Honda's new 125 engine which will be used in its 125cc scooters around the world starting next year and contains an idle-stop system and delivers 25% better fuel economy than current generation scooter engines. Both the 700cc and 125cc engines contain considerable technological wizardry to achieve their goals. Read More
"Adventure" bikes are about as practical and unglamorous as motorcycling gets. They're fairly ugly to look at, they're often ridden hard and put away wet, they're taken to dirty places and they have dirty things done to them. Which to my mind has always made them a preserve of the hardcore rider - these are not ridden by Harley polishers or leather-clad latte sippers, they're ridden by folks that like to get out and throw motorcycles around out where it's tough. So it's encouraging to see that the adventure class is heating up more than ever in 2011 - and two new middleweight all-roaders from Suzuki and Honda now come into a mix that's becoming almost saturated with bikes like the Kawasaki Versys, the BMW F800GS, the Yamaha Tenere and Triumph's Tiger 800.Read More
Next year, the 125 class of motorcycle Grand Prix racing will be replaced by a new class of 250cc single cylinder four-stroke machines to be known as Moto3. This year's final 125cc season is the last remaining category from the original classes which comprised the inaugural 1949 World Championship and it shows that even the tragically myopic FIM is capable of change. Yesterday Honda unveiled its production machine for the championship at the Gran Premi Aperol de Catalunya. The 84 kg, 35.5 kw, 13,000rpm NSF250R will cost EUR23,600 in Spain (with 18% VAT included) and will be sold worldwide from December 2011, no doubt becoming the mainstay of affordable racing as the RS125R has been until now. Read More
The first MotoGP race of the year has been run and won, so we've got our first glimpse at what season 2011 is going to look like. And it seems it's going to look like the Honda Cup. Delivering on the promise the bike showed last year, Honda's RC212V took four of the top five finishing spots in Qatar, with only defending champion Jorge Lorenzo waving the flag for Yamaha in second place. Ben Spies rode to an encouraging sixth place for Yamaha, and the Rossi/Ducati combination started with a whimper, not a bang, in 7th. Smart money would have to be on Australian Casey Stoner for the title; after a brief dice with a wearied Dani Pedrosa, Stoner strolled away to a 3.5-second win.Read More
Twenty years ago, quarter-liter sportsbikes ruled the roost in many regions, offering a mix of racy looks, light weight and snappy performance. But in recent years, with all the other major players leaving the segment, Kawasaki has enjoyed unchallenged sales success with its sharp-looking, yet friendly Ninja 250. But the mini-ninja will soon face stiff competition from Honda's totally re-conceived babyblade CBR250R, equipped with a 249cc single-cylinder, fuel injected engine, a tasty fairing that mimics the CBR1000RR and the first instance of optional ABS to grace the market segment. This will be a killer learner machine and a great introduction to the sport for legions of young riders. It's good to see the quarter-liter segment getting some love again. Oh, and check out what the aftermarket's already coming up with for these new machines.Read More
Adding a self-built aerodynamic outer shell to a brand new Honda Innova 125i big-wheeled, step through scooter has resulted in its already pretty impressive fuel efficiency being improved considerably. Experienced Dutch cycle designer Allert Jacobs has spent the last couple of years designing, building and tweaking his machine before hitting the road recently for the all important road test.Read More

Please plan to be there, ready to run at least 2 1/2 hours before each show you wish to race in, typically our qualifying round starts as they open the doors approximately 1 hours before the actual show times. Last year we needed to be ready to go in and set up for the pit party at about 9:00 am on Saturday, so please plan accordingly.
At this point we are down on numbers, so everyone that desires to, will be able to run at least the qualifying round for all shows.
An added note, neck collars will be highly recommended for all drivers!
Thank You to everyone participating in this fun event

Uganda in 2012: A broken, medieval, retarded society
Posted Sunday, December 30 2012 at 02:00
In Summary
No joy at all. The 50th independence anniversary celebrations felt so sad. Everything came across as a hurriedly assembled effort lacking a historical perspective and richness of a kind that, say, a European country would put together.
Many Ugandan families, starting in Baganda in the 1930s, have attained a modicum of middle class material success --- land, houses, bank accounts, equity in public corporations, children studying abroad, cars, furniture and electrical appliances.
We have built personal houses, bought large four-wheel cars, attained graduate university education, own a range of iGadgets and have travelled the world, but what Uganda and its sister African countries still solely lack is a rock-solid intellectual tradition.
What no single Ugandan family has yet attained, both before and since independence, is the definition of Middle Class in the European, Israeli, American sense, framed around intellectual and innovative distinction.
Ours is an acquisitive rather than an innovative culture. We acquire land, houses, cars, sofa sets, but we do not study the human genome or excavate lost Nilotic or Hamitic settlements. We are an immediate, material, practical, simple people who lack the prodigious intellectual output that is archetypically Europe.
Even when we one day sort out our politics, curb corruption, invest our oil resources well, Uganda shall develop more along the lines of the Persian Gulf states like Oman and Qatar than the pattern of Switzerland or Italy: feudal societies with world-class skyscrapers and global broadcasters like Al-Jazeera.
What the Spanish Prime Minister meant, then, was that William Shakespeare or Leonardo da Vinci can suffer a financial setback and become bankrupt. But a Shakespeare or da Vinci is still not the same man as a shoe shine or marketing manager of a Kampala corporation.
One of the saddest personalities of Uganda at 50 in 2012 was its head of state. Yoweri Museveni was the reflection of that Medieval leader governing a Medieval society, arriving at Kololo Airstrip in a $1 million armoured Mercedes, driving past a crowd of Ugandans who barely had breakfast that morning and no longer able to recognise the African Big Man caricature he has now become.
The very caricature he himself denounced that January day in 1986 when he took his oath of office.

I have Comcast cable internet and I am connected using a DOCSIS 2.0 SB5101U Motorola Surfboard cable modem that I own. The surfboard is connected via ethernet to a Linksys E1200 router, and from there I am connecting a number of devices to the Wifi. It works pretty well, except that my connection drops at least once an hour. By that I mean that all devices in the room will simultaneously lose the wireless connection and then automatically reconnect in about 30 seconds. This includes multiple laptops, an iPad, an Android phone, etc. So, it isn't device specific. Sometimes the connection won't totally drop, but none of the web pages will load for a minute or two before it comes back. It affects every device at the same time though.
I've tried tweaking the settings on the router, such as setting the channel to be fixed instead of automatic. Also, I have connected my computer to the router directly using an ethernet cable, and I get the same behavior. When the iPad loses the connection, my ethernet wired laptop also loses internet connection (as in it gets the little yellow exclamation mark in Windows with "limited connectivity" written). It comes back just as fast, so it doesn't seem to be related to the wireless directly. It could be the router, but it is relatively new, and it worked much better (though not 100%) at my last apartment, so I doubt that it is.
Anyway, I called Comcast to complain and get someone out here to fix it, and I have had multiple reps tell me that my modem is "past it's service life" and no longer supported. They say that the network is now upgraded to be DOCSIS 3.0 and that I must upgrade my modem before they will help me further. Everything I've read seems to suggest that DOCSIS 3.0 should be backwards compatible, and that this modem will only limit my speed. Since I'm only paying for the low tier 20Mbps, I don't care that much about that. They want me to buy the Motorola SB6141 Surfboard modem to replace mine. It's $80, so I wasn't quite in a hurry to do that. Do you think that will fix it? Or is there something else I can try?

Mountain Star Party provides celestial insight away from bright lights of civilization
By Alex Wilson 07/28/2011
Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area visitors will peer into the nighttime sky and have an opportunity to camp out under the vastness of the universe for free during an upcoming Circle X Star Party.
In addition to a ranger-led tour of various celestial constellations, there'll also be discussions of the dark-sky movement, which encourages people to keep electric lights from interfering with views of outer space.
Education Park Ranger Robert Cromwell learned about space though his involvement with a group called Astronomy From the Ground Up, which helps educators, park rangers and other interested amateurs teach about space.
"People have always connected with the night sky. And more so prior to populations clotting together in urban areas throughout the 20th century, where more and more electric light has limited the ability to see the night sky," says Cromwell.
Curiosity about space has been reflected in different cultures over time, and there at the event will explore stories from Native American and ancient Greek mythology among other traditions.
"For instance, the Greeks had a constellation Delphinus that's the story of a dolphin that was sent by Poseidon to woo a woman he was attracted to named, Amphitrite. That same constellation represents a camel that's in a story for the Middle Eastern region of the world. Or in China, it would be a gourd," says Cromwell. "So the night sky can kind of reflect experiences people are having on earth so that our imaginations work with those constellations to make stories."
Event will speakers also teach how people can use electric lights more efficiently to minimize the impact of light pollution, which is the goal of the dark-sky movement. "For instance, street lights that don't just point at the street, but also shine light up into an area where it prevents you from being able to see the stars. House lights that don't just shine down on the porch or in front of the door, that can shine out and create light pollution and affect your night vision so you couldn't see the light from the stars, only the light from the house," says Cromwell.
The Circle X Ranch off Yerba Buena Road south of Thousand Oaks is an excellent spot for viewing the night sky because surrounding mountains, including Sandstone Peak, block out light pollution from nearby cities.
The event is suitable for people of all ages, and Cromwell says he hopes it will encourage the curiosity of young people about outer space, and lead them on a lifelong pursuit of discovering its wonders.
The formal program runs between 7:30 and 10 p.m. on Saturday, July 30, and people are welcome to bring tents and sleeping bags so they can camp out overnight and observe the changing views of the universe as the earth rotates.
Space enthusiasts are also encouraged to bring their own telescopes and star maps to share their knowledge with others after the ranger-led constellation tour. People with questions about the event can call National Park Service officials at 370-2301.

KARBALA, Iraq - U.S. combat deaths since the end of major fighting passed the 100 mark Friday after a joint U.S.-Iraqi patrol confronted gunmen outside the headquarters of a Shiite Muslim cleric, triggering clashes in which three Americans and 10 Iraqis were killed, including two Iraqi police officers.
Another American soldier was killed and two were wounded by a roadside bomb near Baghdad, and nine U.S. troops were wounded in a roadside bombing in the northern city of Mosul.
The four deaths made it the deadliest day for American soldiers in Iraq since Sept. 18, when three soldiers were killed in an ambush. With the latest deaths, the number of U.S. soldiers who have died by hostile fire since President Bush declared an end to major combat May 1 has climbed to 101.
During a visit Friday to U.S. troops in Tikrit, Lt. Gen. Thomas F. Metz, commander of the Army's 3rd Corps, told reporters American troops would be in Iraq for another troop rotation or even two. At the current pace of a turnover of troops every year, that could mean U.S. forces would be in Iraq until 2006.
The bloody battle in the Shiite Muslim holy city of Karbala, about 50 miles southwest of Baghdad, took place during a 12-hour period. It underscores the dangers of trying to disarm militias maintained by Shiite clerics who wield considerable influence in Iraq's largest religious group. The U.S.-led coalition has banned private militias and is committed to disarming them.
The three Americans who were killed came from the 101st Airborne Division, according to Maj. Mike Escudie of the U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Fla. Seven Americans were wounded, U.S. officials said.

Grim Fandango patch
Help! can some one tell me where I can download the GF patch. LucasArts.com has a dead link and of the other sites I have been to have it. Any suggesstions?
Their entire FTP server seems broken. I shouldn't think this will be a problem for very long. It's probably overwhelmed with people downloading all their stupid Star Wars demos, or something. :)
Anyway, you can get the file here:
great. thank you

Fuel Cell Types and How Solar Fits In
Fuel cells and automobiles are starting to get along with solar. Photo Credit: Brianfit
Fuel cells are best known as the potential "green" mobilizer in hybrid automobiles. Toyota, Honda and Ford all have prototypes or expensive production models now available. But fuel cells' potential may be greater outside the transportation sector, especially considering the likely future of EVs and battery technology, a potential and a promise that vary by situation and fuel cell type.
Fuel Cell Types
According to the Department of Energy, there are six types of fuel cells in production or development at this time. A seventh type of fuel cell (as of yet unproven) may revolutionize distributed solar energy systems - a prospect we'll explore momentarily. But first to fuel cells:
Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) Fuel Cells
PEM fuel cells are best suited for the transportation industry. PEMs are what you'll find in today's very expensive models and likely in tomorrow's more mainstream FCVs. PEM fuel cells are lightweight and low volume. They also have a quick start-up time and work at low temperatures compared to other fuel cells, making them ideal for automobiles where motion on-demand and safety are obviously important.
PEMs have two significant problems. The catalyst requires platinum, a very expensive noble metal. This increases costs significantly. Another issue is hydrogen storage. Because hydrogen is a low-density gas, it's difficult to store enough hydrogen on-board the automobile to fuel it far enough to compete with today's gasoline engines.
Direct Methanol Fuel Cells
Some hydrogen fuel cells will extract hydrogen from other fuels, such as methanol, ethanol and hydrocarbons, in a method known as reforming. Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs), however, are directly powered by pure methanol.
Methanol has a few advantages over hydrogen:
- Methanol has a higher energy density and therefore avoids the storage problems inherent in many hydrogen fuel cells.
- Given our current fuel infrastructure, methanol is easier to transport and supply to drivers because it's a liquid like gasoline.
According to the Department of Energy, research on DMFCs is still three to fours years behind that of other fuel cells and is at somewhat of a disadvantage in that respect.
Alkaline Fuel Cells
AFCs were one of the first fuel cells ever developed (thanks to NASA), and are still a high-performing fuel cell compared to other technologies. They can operate at both high and low temperatures and have efficiencies reaching 60 percent in space applications. Unfortunately, AFCs are easily poisoned by carbon dioxide, which means that hydrogen and oxygen used in the cell must be purified first, increasing costs.
Phosphoric Acid Fuel Cells
PAFCs were the first fuel cells to be used on the commercial level and are typically used for stationary power generation. PAFCs can handle impurities in the fossil fuels reformed into hydrogen better than PEM cells (both use the same platinum catalyst), and are up to 85 percent efficient in a co-generation application. Alone, PAFCs are only slightly more efficient than fossil fuel power plants. PAFCs are also expensive because they rely on a platinum catalyst, greatly increasing the cost of production.
Molten Carbonate Fuel Cells
MCFCs operate at extremely high temperatures (about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit), which enables the use of non-precious metals as catalysts. MCFCs are also relatively high in efficiency, reaching 60 percent standing alone, compared to the roughly 40 percent attainable by phosphoric acid fuel cells. The high operating temperatures also eliminate the need for reformers to purify fuels being converted to hydrogen. The high temps take care of that themselves within the fuel cell. They're also resistant to poisoning by carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, making them ideal for setup next to fossil fuel power plants.
All the benefits of high temperature operation also bring one major drawback: durability. Corrosion becomes a problem for MCFCs, accelerating breakdown and shortening the life of the fuel cell. Should corrosion-resistant materials be found and applied successfully, a big breakthrough for MCFCs may well occur.
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells
A hard, ceramic compound for its electrolyte makes a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) unique. Like MCFCs, solid oxide fuel cells operate at very high temperatures exceeding 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit. So again, there is no need for precious metals and we have a lower cost. SOFCs are very resistant to sulfur, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, making them ideal for co-generation applications at coal-fired power plants.
The same disadvantages of high operating temperatures apply for SOFCs, including material corrosion and a slow startup.
Regenerative Fuel Cells
As of yet, the above fuel cells have no real connection to solar power, except for the possibility that some could be used to convert waste heat or steam from solar thermal plants into electricity or - perhaps metaphorically only - as a Stirling engine.
However, regenerative fuel cells are now in production that can use solar power to create the electricity that splits water into oxygen and hydrogen fuel. Developed by a team of MIT researchers, this sort of fuel cell would take excess energy produced by a solar power system (or wind power, etc.) and use it to split water in a fuel cell. For solar applications at night, that energy could be used to power the home when the solar panels are not producing.
As much as solar power and fuel cells have little in common up to this point, the two together may end up revolutionizing residential solar power, eliminating the need for expensive battery backup systems, making off-the-grid and self-sustained living that much more affordable. The MIT discovery, however, was just announced last year and is still far from distribution itself. Researchers hope to have a workable model available within the next decade.

This is a beautiful deciduous, arching shrub that's at home as a specimen plant, in a woodland area or in a cottage garden. The pure white flowers have conspicuous purple markings in the centre and are deliciously fragrant. Masses of these flowers are produced in loose racemes from early to mid-summer and these are the real attraction of this mock orange. The leaves are oval and dark green. Cut back shoots to a strong bud each year after flowering. On older plants, remove roughly a quarter of the oldest branches each year to encourage new growth. To propagate, take softwood cuttings in summer or hardwood cuttings in autumn or winter. The Royal Horticultural Society have given it their prestigious Award of Garden Merit.

Hi All,
We need to set up a pre-numbered invoice print for France.
We have followed the following steps:
General Application Functions>Cross Application Document Numbering>Chile, China, Peru> Form Type, Document Class, Lots, etc. We are on ECC 6.0.
We tried to take print out using IDCP transaction code as well.
But we are not able to get the number as defined by us in the above configuration.
Kindly assist..
Would be helpful if you gave a bit more information on what happens when you execute IDCP with the lot number and book number.
Hi Indranil,
In IDCP, I am selecting the sales Org, entering the lot number and book number.
Selected the "print" radio button and execete..
A new window opens and there I added the billing document number, and unchecked all check boxes in posting status options.
The system says the document does not exist.
On the other hand when I remove the billing document and give a date range, lot of billing documents are showing withen that sales Org.
Now, I need to know how do I print from that list, and where do I see the print preview?
I am not understanding how to proceed further...
Hi Pankaj
Try this:
When the pop up comes up, enter the billing document and click the tick mark in the posting status with Accounting Document Created (considering the invoices created had the accounting docs posted). Also put the output type which will now select all those invoices for which accounting docs are created and output types have not been processed (Status 3). The prenumbered forms, first billing document number and last billing document number would be defaulted to the next available number in the lot. You can increase the last billing document number if you want to use the next screen to print multiple invoices.
The system will then show a list of invoices with the reference field (VBRK-XBLNR) as 0000000000000000. Select the invoice you want to print and click on Release/print.

Secrets of Success
Doing the impossible
Saturday, February 19, 2011
A few years ago a group of scientists took an interest in the bumblebee. They thought that this insect held some secrets to flight that might be useful in space. Their wings are too small, Their body is not aerodynamic, How do they fly? After months of study the scientists came to this conclusion; Bumblebees can not fly
Fortunately nobody told the bumblebee. The silly insect goes right on believing that it can, despite all the scientific facts. So how can you do impossible things?
Be Inspired
Be Committed
So here is a story that inspires me...
At 380 lbs "Bonnie" could barely walk across her living room floor. Her family had a long history of weight problems and she didn�t think anything would work. Then a friend encouraged her to try a program she heard about on SP.
She went on line and was Inspired by all of the weight loss testimonies. She joined and followed the program to the letter. With in the first week she had lost 9.6 lb. In the next few months, She began to believe that this could work for her. On New Years Eve 2002, weighing 323, she decided to walk a 5k race. As she approached the finish line just ahead of a man pushing his wife in a wheelchair,
She had to work hard to stay ahead of them. She thought to herself �I have to do better than this I�m only 25 yrs old�. After that she started doing small races and then a friend suggested that she do a triathlon.
Just in case you don't know what is involved in one let me explain it. The race starts with a 2.4 mile swim, then you jump on a bike and ride for 112 miles, then you git off and run...walk.. shuffle or even crawl 26.4 miles to the finish line. WOW and If that�s not enough of a challenge try doing it in Kona Hawaii, swimming in the unpredictable Pacific Ocean, Biking the world�s windiest stretch of highway & running in a sauna. sounds Impossible right? ( baby steps all the way)
She had been on a swim team in High School and College and so she started swimming again and biking a little at a time. She finished ahead of 500 people in her first triathlon. With each race she finished she gained confidence. In 2007, she competed in her first Ironman triathlon and she completed her 2nd in 2010. She has lost over 160 lbs. When i asked her what inspired her, she said� I focus on my weight loss campaign in the hopes that my story would help others to change their lives.
How did Bonnie lose 160 lbs and become an athlete?
She was inspired, She believed that she could do it, She committed herself
Now imagine that you are Scott Rigsby and you have no legs.
What? Swim, Run and Bike, Complete an endurance triathlon with out legs?
That�s completely impossible! Yes I know but� Don�t tell Scott Rigsby (Ironman and double amputee.)
This is the guy that had the made a in the shade, until an at age 18 auto accident changed his life forever.
He spent a decade as a �professional patient� Undergoing 26 operations on his leg before deciding to let it go and embrace his future. It would have been easy to give up but at the end of his rope Scott decided to change his life. His accomplishments are truly phenomenal, and are only surpassed by his personal mission to inspire others to overcome their challenges.
How did Scott Rigsby, double amputee become an Ironman and change the worlds definition of athletes? He was inspired , He believed he could even after many failures, He committed himself. The people who really inspire us are not the ones who have an easy road. They are the ones who despite all odds have overcome huge obstacles. Like the Bumble Bee they don�t pay attention to the facts that are stacked against them. They go
ahead and do what they are inspired to do. They believe in themselves. They make a commitment and they follow through.
So what is holding you back?
If the bumble bee can fly � So can you!
