BitBeat: KnC Miner Meets Six-Month Delivery Pledge…Just
Welcome to BitBeat, your daily dose of crypto-current events, written by Paul Vigna and Michael J. Casey.
Bitcoin Latest Price: $590.46, down 0.31% (via CoinDesk)
Crossing Our Desk:
- We were struck by this email this week from bitcoin mining equipment manufacturer KnCMiner:
"There has been a lot of confusion and anger with high-end Bitcoin mining rig companies across the blogosphere of late, with even the BBB getting involved in the case of one producer. This week, however, KnCMiner will be taking concrete steps to allay that industry anger and confusion by doing what so few in the high-end Bitcoin mining industry actually do: shipping."
KnCMiner announced that it's going to be shipping the first batch of its "Neptune" miners this week, keeping the company within the broad timeline outlined back in December, when it first announced the product line: a "1Q/2Q" launch. It sold out by mid-December, this Dec. 14 notice reports, which means those customers have been waiting six months for their orders. On Feb. 4, it offered customers a "plan B" option in case of delays, and then on Feb. 14, it announced that "we are getting closer to the launch date of Neptune."
That KnCMiner met its deadline at all probably is cause for some celebration; there have been a flurry of class-action lawsuits from customers angry over delays. Timing is critical in mining, the computational difficulty rises at such a rate that machines even modest delays can shorten the lifespan of a machine before it hits obsolescence.
KnC says the new Neptune machines have "margins" built into the design and hardware that will help them keep up with increasing hashing speed.
Still, it's a telling sign of this industry's problems when a company is boasting about meeting a six-month delivery window with two weeks to spare. (Paul Vigna)
–If you think you can fix some of the impediments standing in the way of the next generation of bitcoin? A venture-capital firm called Aleph could have $50,000 for you.
The Tel Aviv-based firm is offering to invest $50,000 in the startup companies to encourage them to build fixes to the virtual currency's technology that would allow it to be used in new ways. It's part of a push to build applications to harness bitcoin's computer network to cut out the third-party middlemen from a wide range of activities, from real estate deed transfers to IPOs.
As Aleph discovered the development of these applications in many cases faces a simple but formidable obstacle: the small transaction fees that the bitcoin network routinely charges. And so Aleph decided to make the resolution of that problem the objective of its first $50,000 bounty.
The problem arises because users of Bitcoin 2.0 applications have to initiate transactions, even when there's no exchange of funds or assets per se.
When it is all added up, Aleph estimates that Bitcoin transaction fees average only about 20 cents per transaction. (The fees are designed to discourage unwanted uses of bandwidth such as spam.)
But the fees can prove to be prohibitively expensive if a particular Bitcoin 2.0 program is designed to rely on frequent transactions with little to no value attached to them. Examples include a push for server-less, decentralized messaging in which users would use the bitcoin network to send each other email-like messages of no monetary value.
These fees could render some of Bitcoin 2.0's more promising applications such as tamper-proof automated voting too costly to use.
In describing the ground rules for bounty-seeking startups looking to resolve this problem, Eden Shochat, the venture-capital firm's founder and co-partner, said the solution needs to "be in keeping with bitcoin's spirit of decentralization." In other words, it will do no good to hive off transactions to a more efficient, separate server, as this would insert another trust third-party intermediary into the process.
While the firm is focused on Israel's tech community, Aleph's first bounty is open to startups world-wide. (Michael Casey)

Bryan Fischer's anal retentiveness, emotional excitability and phenomenal inability to do simple fact-checking may have been acquired from his predecessor.
Former American Family Radio talk show host Buster Wilson also demonstrated all of Fischer's trademark behaviors all in a single post on his Twitter account.
According to Wilson, the recent data breach at Target was God's wrath over the Christmas ad for Joe Boxer.
"Target mocks Christmas with unseemly Joe Boxer ad," he Tweeted, "now suffering BIG TIME thru data theft! Don't mock Jesus. Just a suggestion."
There is just one very obvious problem: The Joe Boxer ad was from Kmart, not Target. There is literally no relation between one and the other whatsoever.
Needless to say, the Twitter sphere has already made Wilson well aware of this. He has already responded to such:
"Whatever! My point, blurred by MY mistake, was not to mock Christmas and thus the God of Christmas."
This is a level of immaturity and disregard for the truth that even Wilson's former colleagues at American Family Radio have yet to sink to. He has literally spelled out in plain English that he does not care about the truth.
And that, Buster Wilson, is precisely the problem. You tried to condemn a cheeky Christmas ad by blaming it for the misfortune of others who had absolutely nothing to do with it.
And when your mistake was pointed out to you, the best you can offer is "Whatever!"

As The Detroit News reported July 7, U.S. Rep. John Conyers, (D- Mich.) – who is running for reelection – said "water is a human right." But as Nancy Kaffer wrote for The Detroit Free Press Friday: "Water isn't free. Nor should it be. It takes money to treat and deliver water to residential and commercial customers."
"The Detroit Water and Sewerage Department, like most water utilities," Kaffer noted, "charges customers on a fee-for-service basis. The department carries billions in debt from the build-out and maintenance of the system, which still requires substantial capital spending, and the city's Wastewater Treatment Plant was the subject of decades-long federal oversight. It's far from clear that the department has the ability to comply long-term with the U.S. Clean Water Act, a situation largely driven by antiquated equipment and insufficient investment."
However, Kaffer believes that "disconnecting folks en masse from a first-world water and sewerage system is terrible public policy."
The Detroit News reported Friday that about two dozen protesters gathered to block the entrance of Homrich Wrecking Inc., a private contractor that has executed some of Detroit Water and Sewerage Department's (DWSD) controversial water shut-offs in Detroit, Michigan.
On July 14, The Detroit Free Press reported that, while DWSD had executed 14,766 shut-offs -- a combined total of 7,556 in April and May and an additional 7,210 in June alone – the department announced "that it is intensifying efforts to collect unpaid debts from its delinquent commercial customers."
On March 22, The Detroit Free Press reported that DWSD announced "it would target Detroit households with overdue balances of more than $150, or more than two months behind on bills."
According to DWSD, delinquent customers – both residential and commercial -- owed the department about $118 million, an amount that did not include customers on a "payment plan or involved in a bankruptcy case."
As The Detroit News reported further Friday, DWSD Deputy Director Darryl Latimer "was in bankruptcy court this week explaining the once-lax department's new policy of shutting off water."
While the average monthly residential bill is around $75, Latimer said the average delinquency on residential accounts is around $540.
"Since last year," The Atlantic's Rose Hackman reported Thursday, DWSD "has been turning off water at the homes of customers behind on their bills. The shut-off campaign comes at a time of crisis and hastened recovery for Detroit, which became the largest American city to ever file for bankruptcy last summer. The value of the bonds associated with the water department's debt comes to $5.7 billion, which constitutes almost one-third of the amount estimated to have pushed Detroit into bankruptcy."
According to Latimer, "the campaign has been extremely effective."
Since the shut-off campaign began, the department has seen a 45 percent to 50 percent increase in revenue compared to previous years.
With 60 percent of the department's water customers showing up to pay their past-due bills within 24 hours of having their water service shut off, and most of the rest of their delinquent customers coming in to pay their overdue bills within a couple of days, Hackman wrote that Latimer "appears to take this as proof that customers can afford to pay, but are just being irresponsible citizens, taking advantage of the system as much as they can."
Despite the department's offer to accept an initial 30 percent payment of their overdue balance to maintain water service, some water department customers -- who have had their water shut off and insist that they can't afford to pay their water bills -- are choosing to pay a local handyman $30 to turn their water back on illegally.
"Forty percent of Detroiters are at or below poverty line, so based on the fact that, that does not mean they should be denied access," quoted Monica Lewis-Patrick, an organizer of Friday's protest, saying. "I think the narrative gets to be sometimes that we are advocating for free water, but we're not."
Lewis-Patrick – a former Legislative Policy Analyst for Detroit City Council and former precinct delegate who ran an unsuccessful effort in 2013 to become a Detroit City Council member -- did not, however, explain what they are "advocating."
"Who's on their side? Corporations," The Detroit News quoted 58-year old Baxter Jones chanting at Friday's protest in Detroit. "Who's on our side? United Nations."
In response to the water department's shut-off program, Hackman noted for The Atlantic that the United Nations issued a statement out of Geneva last month, saying: "Disconnection of water services because of failure to pay due to lack of means constitutes a violation of the human right to water and other international human rights.
The European Citizens Initiative declared in 2012 that "water and sanitation is a human right! Water is a public good, not a commodity."
In an undated "Forward" for "The River Network, former President Jimmy Carter also said, "clean water is a basic human right."
Conversely, Sharmila Murthy -- an associate professor of law at Suffolk University and an associate fellow at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government -- said "the human right to water" does not infer that it should be provided for free.
"The key element here," Murthy said, "is affordability."
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "we generally pay much less for our drinking water than we do for most other goods and services, such as cable television, telephone service, and electricity. On average, tap water costs are slightly more than $2 per 1,000 gallons, although the costs tend to be lower for large water systems, and higher for small systems. Treatment accounts for about 15 percent of that cost. Other costs are for equipment (such as the treatment plants and distribution systems), and labor for operation and maintenance of the system."
However, The Detroit Free Press reported June 17 that -- amid the DWSD shut-off efforts, the Detroit City Council "approved new water and sewerage rates that are expected to increase Detroiters' water bills by more than $5 per month."
While the average Detroit resident use to pay $64.99 per month for water and sewer charges, the 8.7 percent rate increase – passed by the City Council by a vote of 6-2 -- raised the average monthly bill for Detroit's residents to $70.67 as of July 1, which is about $35 higher than the national average.

Body contouring after massive weight loss
Remus Repta, MD, is a board-certified plastic surgeon at Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix. For more information, call (480) 752-7874.
Question: I recently lost a lot of weight and as a result I have a large amount of excess skin and tissue that I would like to tighten up. Is surgery a good option for me?
Answer: People who experience massive weight loss through bariatric surgery or through diet and exercise make a conscious decision to improve their health as well as the way they look and feel. The vast majority of massive weight loss individuals experience significant excess skin laxity following their successful weight loss. This excess skin does not improve regardless of exercise. Bodies can build muscle and loose fat, but they cannot exercise away the loose skin. Currently there is no non-surgical technology that has been proven to tighten skin. Skin that has lost its elasticity secondary to weight gain and weight loss needs to be removed surgically. Fortunately, there are great surgical solutions to remove excess skin and re-establish contour. The main areas that are of concern to most people who have experienced massive weight loss include:
- Abdomen and buttocks: A body lift involves removal of excess skin and soft tissue around the waist resulting in a tummy tuck as well as a buttock lift. The side and back of the thighs are also lifted. The final incision is hidden in the bikini line. The purse-string gluteoplasty procedure can also be performed at the same time. The procedure uses the tissue that would have been removed in the buttock lift to add volume to the buttock area.
- Breast: A breast lift or mastopexy procedure with or without augmentation (implant) improves the shape and position of the breasts. The areola is lifted and the breast is coned or shaped to give a more youthful appearance.
- Upper and middle back: The bra-line back lift procedure eliminates soft-tissue laxity of the back often know as bra bulge or bra fat. The final incision is placed in the horizontal part of the brassiere strap.
- Face: Many of the facial rejuvenation procedures including the combination of face-lift and neck-lift are designed to improve the shape, contour and appearance of the face. Additional procedures, including fat grafting, to add volume to desirable areas of the face, and skin resurfacing, can also contribute to a natural, rejuvenated result.

College Hockey:Atlantic Hockey commissioner discusses lengthy suspension, state of the conference
BUFFALO, N.Y. — Atlantic Hockey commissioner Robert DeGregorio visited the Buffalo State Ice Arena on Sunday to present Canisius junior Ryan Bohrer with the conference's 2011-12 Student-Athlete Award before the Golden Griffins' game with ECAC foe Clarkson.
Just over a week earlier, the arena had been on the commissioner's radar for a more controversial reason — Canisius forward Matthew Grazen's illegal check from behind on George Michalke of Air Force.
Grazen, who received a five-minute checking from behind penalty and a game disqualification, was slapped with a seven-game suspension, a penalty that exceeded the six-game punishment doled out to former Canisius defenseman Carl Hudson following the Griffs' infamous brawl with Rochester Institute of Technology in 2008.
Michalke was taken from the ice on a stretcher after the hit. He is still recovering from injuries sustained in the incident.
In a Nov. 1 press release, the Canisius athletic department stated that the school "strongly disagree[d]" with the suspension, noting that "… following college hockey precedent, a two-game suspension for a checking from behind penalty would have been appropriate for a first-time offender."
On Sunday, DeGregorio explained the punishment.
"I know that people are trying to compare this to what happened in other leagues," DeGregorio said. "But I am the commissioner for Atlantic Hockey. My job is to provide a safe environment and to apply the rules of the NCAA to our league.
"I'm not responsible for what happened in Minnesota a year ago," the commissioner continued, in apparent reference to Gophers forward Kyle Rau's one-game suspension for an illegal hit on Denver's Jason Zucker, "or in Hockey East or in any of the other leagues. Nor do I comment when I get calls. I am responsible for my league. In viewing what had happened, and the extent of the injury — and one of the things that I do and others don't, is they don't weigh the extent of the injury — I felt it was important."
DeGregorio took a unique approach to the suspension. Grazen, who missed the Griffs' road trip to Minnesota on Oct. 28 as part of his NCAA-mandated suspension for a disqualification penalty, was prohibited from playing in Canisius' two-game series against Clarkson last weekend and will miss upcoming contests with Robert Morris on Nov. 9, RIT on Nov. 10 and archrival Niagara on Nov. 16.
Grazen will then complete his punishment later in the season when the Griffs travel to Colorado Springs to face Air Force on Feb. 15-16, a move made by DeGregorio in an attempt to diffuse potential on-ice retribution.
"I think that what's going to happen is that it's going to be a year before [Air Force] comes out here [to Buffalo]," he said, "and it will be for two [games], based on the schedule. Hopefully the cadet will be back playing and Matt will be back playing and bygones will be bygones. We will have had a year to have everybody's souls heal and, hopefully, to forget."
In other Atlantic Hockey news, DeGregorio said he was generally pleased with the quality of AHA hockey in 2012-13 but hoped to see a few more wins against non-conference heavy hitters in the future.
"We need to start knocking off more [non-conference foes]. I mean, we're knocking off our share, but we need our share to be bigger," he said. "That's when our league's RPI is going to improve and our exposure is going to improve. Canisius had a great game against Minnesota, [losing] 1-0. Imagine what the headlines would have been if we had won 1-0 in Minnesota, and what that does for our league strength and RPI and everything. We need, not just from Canisius, we need all of our teams to have these big wins."
DeGregorio also hinted at expansion in coming seasons, mentioning that the conference was in talks with four unnamed schools. He also said that preparations in Pittsburgh for the Robert Morris-hosted Frozen Four at the Consol Energy Center in 2013 were going "great," and that he was pleased by all he saw in a recent site visit.
"Everybody's happy," DeGregorio said. "The Penguins, their organization and the owners of the facility are doing everything they can to make it a big hit."

There's been a lot of talk about cross-border dealmaking given the lack of growth prospects in the U.S., but not tons of activity.
This story first appeared in the May 9, 2013 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
That might be starting to change.
Foot Locker Inc. inked a deal to acquire Runners Point Warenhandelsges for 72 million euros, or $95.1 million at current exchange. The transaction will bolster the New York-based Foot Locker's presence on the home turf of Runners Point, which is headquartered in Recklinghausen, Germany, and has most of its more than 200 stores in that country.
The deal puts Foot Locker on a budding M&A trend. Consultancy PwC noted that 44 percent of the U.S. consumer and retail deals in the first quarter were cross-border affairs. That's up from an average of 40 percent over the past five years.
Runners Point has stores under the Runners Point and Sidestep banners and an online subsidiary, Tredex. Altogether it logged sales of 197 million euros, or $253.3 million at average exchange, last year.
"This acquisition will enhance our position in Germany, the strongest economy in Europe, and also provide us with additional banners to further diversify and expand our European business," said Ken Hicks, chairman and chief executive officer of Foot Locker. "We also intend to leverage Tredex's strong digital capabilities to accelerate growth in our own developing European e-commerce business."
Private equity firm Hannover Finanz currently holds a majority stake in the company, the rest of which is owned by ceo Otto Hurler and chief financial officer Harald Wittig.
Hurler and Wittig will remain with the company after the deal closes.
Foot Locker was advised by Guggenheim Partners and Barclays, while Runners Point worked with Deloitte, a source said.

Alexander Muir Park
The sounds of the maple leaf ring from the garden walls of this North Toronto park.

Profile Last Updated: April 03, 2008
The sunken gardens are a tranquil diversion from the activity on Toronto's central thoroughfare. Deeper into the park, there's a ravine and lawn bowling court with a path leading to a forest area suitable for either Discovery Walks or brisk runs. While the space was originally established in 1933 on the west side of Yonge Street, the construction of the subway in 1951 necessitated moving the park's stone walls, crushed brick pathways and plants to the Lawrence Park area.
Maple Legend Namesake
The man who wrote "The Maple Leaf Forever" is the perfect candidate to have a park named after him. Maple leaves have a presence in the park on a commemorative plaque in the stone walls of the terrace, where the legendary lyrics are inscribed. When the park was formally dedicated in 1952, the seven largest trees were maples. Alexander Muir was born in 1830 in Lesmahgow, Scotland and moved to Canada as a child. A schoolteacher around the city, his most famous work won second prize in a patriotic song competition commemorating Canada's 1867 centennial. Muir served as a school principal until his death in 1906, while following up his hit song with others like "Canada, Land of the Maple Tree" and "The Old Union Jack."

With support from the United States, Côte d'Ivoire's Ministry of Health is training health care providers to conduct a cervical cancer screening and treatment program for HIV-positive women. This holistic approach to women's health is critical to stemming the second-leading cause of cancer in women in the developing world. Women living with HIV are often at a higher risk for cervical cancer, and in Côte d'Ivoire about 6,000 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer every year.
Using health care systems supported by the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), trainees from nine sites screened 2,740 women living with HIV between April 2009 and August 2010. Of the 290 women who had an abnormal screening, 146 received immediate treatment, while others were referred to an advanced care site.
Tere Djesslet, a 36-year-old, HIV-positive mother of two participated in the cervical cancer screening. Tere acknowledged that it was difficult to sit through the screening knowing that she may be diagnosed with yet another potentially life-threatening disease, but she was "happy and relieved" to learn that she was healthy.
In the coming year, implementers hope to expand the program by starting screen-and-treat services at 11 more health facilities, training 64 providers and supervisors and 20 national trainers, and preparing two referral hospitals to see more complicated cases. The project will also support community education about the importance of screening women for this preventable and treatable disease.

Notes from the Underground
by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Liza Timeline and Summary
- Before we know her name, the Underground Man sees Liza, a young prostitute in the brothel where he expected to find Simonov and Zverkov.
- He describes her as young and grave, and admires her eyes though she is not a great beauty. She is not smiling, which attracts him (go figure).
- After the sex (which we don't hear about in the text), the Underground Man wakes to find Liza looking at him.
- When he asks, Liza gives her name.
- They make some awkward conversation; Liza reveals that her parents are "tradespeople."
- When the Underground Man tells her all about the dead prostitute he saw being buried in the rain, Liza doesn't react: who cares if there's water in your grave when you're dead?
- She basically doesn't see what his depressing tale has to do with her.
- When Liza gets all, "I don't need your pity," the Underground Man berates her some more for being a prostitute. If she weren't one, he suggests, she could get married and be happy.
- Liza retorts that not all married people are happy.
- Then the Underground Man goes off in a discourse about love, concluding that with love you don't need to be happy.
- Liza interrupts by vehemently agreeing with the Underground Man when he gets to the bit about how what they've just done (sex for money instead of love) is despicable.
- At least they can agree on something.
- This excites the Underground Man, who feels he now has license to lecture her to his heart's content.
- When he finally stops, Liza tells him that he speaks like a book, which the Underground Man finds to be offensive (though in retrospect he decides she was just hiding behind irony).
- To get back at her, he lectures at length about how awful her life is and how she'll never have happiness.
- Cut to Liza, who is sobbing into her pillow.
- The Underground Man comforts her and gives her his address, telling her to come see him.
- Liza tells him to wait, rushes out of the room, and comes back with a love letter from a young man.
- She explains that she met him at a party and that he doesn't know she's a prostitute; in other words, there is one guy out there who loves her respectfully.
- The Underground Man leaves and spends a few days fretting over whether or not Liza will show up.
- Liza shows up. The Underground Man frets some more.
- First, he declares that he isn't ashamed of his poverty. Then he bursts into tears. Then he tells her this was all a big joke. Then he cries again and admits that he is in fact ashamed of his poverty.
- Liza, who is all grace under fire, comforts the Underground Man. He notes (to the reader) that he and Liza have shifted roles, and now she is the heroine.
- Sex follows.
- Fifteen minutes later, Liza is sitting against the bed crying while the Underground Man paces up and down the room.
- When he drops a hint that she ought to leave, she does; but he shoves some money into her hand before she goes.
- The Underground Man immediately regrets this action and calls after her; it's too late, and we hear the echo of the door slam as she leaves the house.
- When the Underground Man finds the money he gave her on the table, he realizes she is noble and runs into the street after her.
- This is also too late.
- The Underground Man wonders if his insults might reform Liza.
- Cutting out of the story and returning to 40 year-old Underground Man, he then remarks that he never saw Liza again.

If you are interested in gardening, you've likely heard the term "ground-cover". When written it can be spelled as one word or two, although most people in the green industry consider it one. However you choose to spell it, ground-cover is exactly what it sounds like. And ground-cover is a critical part of landscaping.
Ground-cover is essential to prevent the dangerous washing away of topsoil from erosion that can undermine structures. It also helps prevent dust and mud issues. Aesthetically, it is a handsome way to fill in empty areas.
Although it is usually used as a term referring to plants, it is properly used for non-living materials, too. For example, you can cover an area with permeable paving (materials that allow water to penetrate) made from gravel, flat stone, cast concrete pavers, or brick and call these ground-covers. Anything that creates a low-lying covering for bare ground qualifies.
Some good plants to use as a ground-cover might be verbena, trailing or low-growing succulents like sedum or ice plant, vinca, creeping rosemary or thyme. On a large area or hillside, plants may grow two to three feet in height whereas in smaller garden areas they are usually best kept under a foot tall. Some might also be ground-hugging to create a relatively smooth appearance or to handle light foot traffic. Ground-cover trailing plants can be very useful to spill over retaining walls, tumble down hanging baskets, or simply to cover exposed soil as mulch.
Grass is the most common ground-cover. It is usually used as lawn -- like Bermuda grass, Fescue, Bluegrass or many others. Ornamental grasses can also serve as a covering. Large areas can be effective designed as whole fields, or low-growing decorative grasses like some of the clumping fescues can add colorful or textural carpeting.
Choose your ground-cover by what will work best in your climate, what will look best with your overall landscape design plan, and what will require the right kind of maintenance to fit with your lifestyle.

When green isn't green
The differing definitions of green
can sometimes cause green advocates to battle
over what is really green or what is greener.
One case in study is ethanol, which has recently
been touted as a cleaner and greener fuel
that cannot only help save the environment
but can help wean the United States off foreign
oil. But Todd Larsen, corporate responsibility
programs director for Co-op America, says
ethanol isn't really a green solution. Millions
of acres of land, argues Larsen, would need
to be cleared to plant more corn, more environmental
damage would occur from the run-off from fields
and a food crop would be diverted to energy.
It would ultimately raise the price of corn,
he adds, putting pressure on the world's poor
that won't be able to afford a major staple
of their diet.
"A true green solution
(or greener solution) would be to increase
the fuel efficiency of the cars and create
more hybrids and plug-in vehicles," says
The demand for more fuel-efficient
cars has significantly increased in the past
couple of years but may be due more to the
increased price of gas than consumers' desires
to leave a smaller "footprint."
Nevertheless, automakers have been eager to
respond by promoting and advertising more
fuel efficient vehicles. Green advocates all
agree that as demand for green products and
services increases, so will the supply.
But at times, there appears
to be greenwashing even within the green community
itself. Al Gore, one of the leaders of the
environmental movement, has been criticized
for his nongreen policies when he pushed through
the North American Free Trade Agreement while
serving as vice president. The agreement opened
the door to some of the unfair trade practices
which many green organizations are speaking
out against today. People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals, or PETA, for example,
offers report
cards on greenwashing organizations that
try to mask testing products on animals. Meanwhile,
PETA also has its critics, who say that the
organization kills more animals (through euthanasia)
than it helps.
It might also be a fair observation
to say that nothing in the civilized world
is truly green. Those that live the hardcore
green lifestyle note that no matter how green
a product may be, chances are it is shipped
to stores on smoke-belching trucks and handled
by underpaid workers at some point in the
supply chain. Within the green realm are certain
levels of greenness that range from buying
a compact fluorescent light bulb to living
strictly off solar power, boycotting big chain
retailers and riding a bicycle.
Using 'green' to make green
Oil companies are far from being the
only greenwashers. Everyone from big-box retailers
to small service providers and corner stores
use the tactic to cater to a greener market.
Large corporations may be reluctant to change
their ways because of the costs involved,
but as more consumers demand green products,
going green can also be good for profits.
Shepp says green values can coexist with the
pursuit of profit.

Can I say "acquiesce" and be acquiescent, or by saying the word do I then imply a protest, negating my acquiescence?
Example: "I acquiesce to your request."
- To me, it seems that speaking the word is to do the opposite of the word's definition. Is this an accurate ascessment of what is going on?
- If so, does the word "acquiesce" fall into a general category of words that share these properties?

High Quality, Cutting Edge Material
By Ken C.
from Hoboken, NJ
About Me Architect, Consultant, Developer
Best Uses
Comments about oreilly Java and JVM at OSCON 2012:
I am extremely pleased with this set of videos. I also bought the 'HTML5 & JavaScript' track as well. The quality of the recordings is top notch, high definition. I can read every word on the slides. The material is cutting edge. I have been stuck in a rut consulting for a Bank that only uses Java on occasion. As a result, my knowledge of the latest trends in technologies that involve the JVM besides Java has been lacking. I have learned quite a lot from these videos and I love the fact that I can rewind and play again. My only gripe is that when deciding whether to stay on the slide projected on the screen or showing the presenter standing at the podium, too often the presenter is shown. A slide will be flashed briefly, then we are back looking at the presenter. Often, the presenter is explicitly pointing at the screen and discussing the points on there, and yet whoever edited the video still does not switch back to the slide. Fortunately, I own the videos, so I rewind back to the slide, study it, then resume listening to the presenter.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

PANAMA CITY - Bay District Schools will be spending more than half a million dollars to help out some of the county's D and F schools.
One of those schools will cost taxpayers more than a quarter of a million dollars alone.
After being labeled as one of the bottom 100 schools in the state, Patterson Elementary was mandated by the state to add an extra hour of reading.
District officials have come up with estimates as to how much it would cost to fund that extra hour and its about $268,000.
Patterson was the only elementary school in the county to receive a failing grade.
District officials say they're hoping Springfield's success with an extra hour last year will do the same for Patterson.
"We think the same positive results will happen with Patterson because of this extra hour. It's just proof that if you have more time in the classroom, this is definitely going to benefit them," said Bay District Schools Superintendent, Bill Husfelt.
That funding will be voted on in a few weeks in the district's final budget meeting.
School board members also voted to spend about $300,000 on instructional materials for some of the district's lowest performing schools.
Officials say the delay of school grades by the state postponed funding for the instructional materials.

LG Aims to Boost Marketing Budget, Add Celeb Endorsements
Consumer electronics giant LG has announced plans to change marketing strategy and significantly increase its marketing budget for next year.
LG has two different methods of marketing it will focus on the most: celebrity marketing and specific sponsorships.
The company feels that it will be more effective at reaching customers by having Hollywood celebs endorse LG's flagship products.
CMO Dermot J.M. Boden said "LG has been increasing the budget at a time when everybody else is reducing. The recession has been a key issue for everybody, but our market shares this year went up in every category."
LG's second strategy will be to set sights on sponsoring Formula 1 motor racing in a five-year deal as well as ICC (International Cricket Council) running to the end of the 2015 ICC World Cup.

Special to The Gazette
When Frank Geric was about to retire from Ford Motor Company more than a decade ago as a millwright, the Westfield Center resident never dreamed he'd take up painting as a hobby.
Now a dozen years and more than 100 paintings later, the Cleveland-born artist is realizing a talent he never knew he possessed.
The Gazette: It's probably safe to say not many retired millwrights take up a painting in retirement.
Frank Geric: I don't know of any really (laughs). I just thought I would really enjoy it, and my wife, Elsie, signed me up for a vocational evening class just before I retired. So, I took the class, and I just stayed with it. I don't have any formal training, so it's more or less self-done.
TG: Maybe that was her way of getting you out of the house in your retirement?
FG: I don't think that was her goal. She wanted to make sure I just didn't sit around and do nothing.
TG: Clearly, you haven't become a couch potato. At what point did you realize you had some artistic talent?
FG: Well, when I started painting, people were making comments that they thought my work was really good, really nice and they wanted to know if my work was for sale. So, I started selling it, and then I started doing different shows. I really enjoy it. And as long as I enjoy it, I'm going to keep doing it.
TG: What type of painter are you?
FG: I don't know, it's just a traditional type of work. It's realistic, but I don't like to use abstract style. I do landscapes, seascapes, florals and wildlife. I don't do portraits. Somehow I feel like I don't do them justice.
TG: Now that you've become a respected painter around Medina County, is there any wish list project you'd like to undertake?
FG: I would love to go out west and paint outside. Just to go out there and paint some of the scenery. I don't know if I'll ever get to do it, but that's my goal. I think that scenery is gorgeous out there.
Geric shows off his work once a month at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park's M.D. Garage event. He's part of the Crooked River Gang. In addition, several of his pieces are currently being shown now through May 15 at Marie's Café.
Benson may be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. If you would like to nominate someone for the "local artist spotlight,†e-mail accent@

Over two bucks a gallon goes to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his merry band of despots.
"With U.S. gasoline demand predicted to average around 380 million gallons daily in 2011, that extra one-tenth of a penny on those gallons comes to $380,000 per day - close to $139 million annually."
New developments further prove the blockade is an waste.

Scarlett Johansson is Not Pregnant
Scarlett Johansson is "sporting a baby bump!" exclaims OK!, which features photos of the actress jogging next to Sean Penn in Malibu with a rounded belly.

Despite the speculation, a rep for Johansson confirms to Gossip Cop, she is "not pregnant," adding that the placement of her shirt is "misleading."

Malayalamsex`com. Obesity usually happens to people who are fond of in-between meals, which actually initiates excessive calorie intake.

Polarization and distancing like red and blue states are nothing new in the cultural clash between farmers and hunters in the search food security through identity, tradition, and family. Did the world have conservatives and liberals, warrior farmers defending their land against hunter-gatherers who fed themselves from fishing and forest? Did the farmers invent slavery to eventually work their bigger ranches, taking the hunters as captives? Did the fishermen/women trade with the farmer? Europe seems to have erupted in a civil war for food security thousands of years ago in the stone age.
Or did the culture clash push most of the hunters to the far north regions of Europe where the growing season for farming was very short? Who pushed the hunters out of Spain all the way up to Finland? The genes tell a story of cultural clash and vying to keep the family identity and ethnic familiarity in the war between hunters and farmers, the landed and the hunter, the nomad and the permanently settled landlord?
About 7,000-7,500 years ago the Mediterranean Sea swelled. Seawater pushed northward, slicing through what is now Turkey. Funneled through the narrow Bosporus, the water hit the Black Sea with 200 times the force of Niagara Falls. Each day the Black Sea rose about six inches (15 centimeters), and coastal farms were flooded. Seared into the memories of terrified survivors, the tale of the flood was passed down through the generations and eventually became the Noah story and a lot of other flood-related stories, according to the National Geographic site, "Ballard and the Black Sea."
The cultural clash between farmers and hunters in Europe
Was this the motivation that brought farmers from southeast Europe to Central Europe about that time in prehistory which caused a culture clash between the farmers crowding out the hunters indigenous to Central and Northern Europe since Mesolithic times (the middle stone-age years)? The cultural clash is about survival and food security. It's also a comparison of the Paleo diet high in fish and wild plants and the farmer's diet, mostly vegetables, grains, fermented fruits and berries, and any livestock that can be kept on a farm, along with eggs and eventually cheese and bread.
Prehistoric peoples had their red and blue states in the sense that they divided themselves into hunters-gatherers and farmers-harvesters. People in prehistoric times settled into groups that tilled or terraced the land where they planted grains, vegetables and fruits and corralled animals such as sheep and goats, cows, or pigs and poultry. And other groups distanced themselves from the farmers where they spent their food-sourcing time hunting animals, fishing, gathering shellfish and wild plants, and sometimes fermenting the wild berries and other plants into medicinal beverages.
Culture identity clashes
In stone-age times, just like today, you had your conservatives, people who owned land and farmed or kept livestock, those who didn't own land but used the area they lived in to hunt and fish or forage, and a distance away, nomads who traveled to find food, hunted somewhat, and also may have raised livestock in different areas during different seasons, but their houses were temporary and seasonal.
The conservatives or the red states of the stone age were 'conservative' in the way that they defended their farmlands, built sturdy houses and settled onto a particular space of land, and defended their land like warriors if anyone uninvited trespassed on their property, usually with the intent to take food and/or other supplies for survival such as fuel. The farmers learned to preserve food by drying or pickling and did some of the hunters. The point is those red and blue states (or states of mind) of the stone age, kept their distance. You may wish to check out the October 10, 2013 Washington Post article by Joel Achenbach, "Stone Age farmers, hunters kept their distance." Hunters lived on the average about 249 miles away from the farmers in prehistoric times.
Did the hunters of the coldest areas of Europe keep their distance from the farmers who came from the palm latitudes in stone-age times?
Sure, they kept their distance. But they also married one another eventually to create modern population, say the genetic analyses. But it took thousands of years. During those centuries, farmer and hunter kept their distance and didn't mix. They seemed to be as far apart as they could manage to avoid conflict or to stay with their own familiar ethnic identity and languages. Few people like to be thrown into unfamiliar cultures when the stone age era was based on survival of those who had access to food and water, then shelter and clothing against the cold.
A recent study chronicles the rise of agriculture in Europe. Analysis of Stone Age remains shows that farming moved north across the continent, according to the April 26, 2012 news release, "New study chronicles the rise of agriculture in Europe." An analysis of 5,000-year-old DNA taken from the Stone Age remains of four humans excavated in Sweden is helping researchers understand how agriculture spread throughout Europe long ago. According to Pontus Skoglund from Uppsala University in Sweden and colleagues, the practice of farming appears to have moved with migrants from southern to northern Europe.
Agricultural know-how wasn't the only thing that early European farmers introduced to the region. Based on their genetic data, Skoglund and the researchers say that Europe's first farmers eventually mixed their genes with the hunter-gatherers who lived there—a relationship that set the stage for today's modern European genome. Farmers were buried under megaliths. And hunters were buried in flat-bed grave sites.
"We analyzed genetic data from two different cultures—one of hunter-gatherers and one of farmers—that existed around the same time, less than 400 kilometers (249 miles) away from each other," said Skoglund, according to the news release, New study chronicles the rise of agriculture in Europe. "After comparing our data to modern human populations in Europe, we found that the Stone Age hunter-gatherers were outside the genetic variation of modern populations but most similar to Finnish individuals, and that the farmer we analyzed closely matched Mediterranean populations."
The hunters were outside the genetic variation of modern populations, but somewhat similar to Finns, and the farmers matched modern Mediterranean populations
These findings likely have something to do with the expansion of farming across Europe, according to the researchers. "When you put these findings in archaeological context, a picture begins to emerge of Stone Age farmers migrating from south to north across Europe," said Skoglund, according to thje news release. "And the result of this migration, 5,000 years later, looks like a mixture of these two groups in the modern population."
The researchers report their data in the 27 April 2012 issue of the journal Science, which is published by AAAS, the nonprofit international science society. Most experts agree that the agricultural way of life originated about 11,000 years ago in the Near East before it reached the European continent some 5,000 years later. But this new study should help scientists understand the impact of that agricultural revolution on human diversity.
Skoglund and his colleagues performed their analysis with the ancient remains of three hunter-gatherers who were associated with the Pitted Ware Culture and excavated from the island of Gotland, Sweden, along with those of a farmer, who was associated with the Funnel Beaker Culture and excavated from Gökhem parish, Sweden
"We know that the hunter-gatherer remains were buried in flat-bed grave sites, in stark contrast to the megalithic sites that the farmers built," said Mattias Jakobsson, a senior author of the Science report, also from Uppsala University, according to the news release. "The farmer we analyzed was buried under such a megalith, and that's just one difference that helps distinguish the two cultures."
Ancient hunter-gatherers had a distinct genetic signature that was similar to that of today's northern Europeans, while the farmer's genetic signature closely resembles that of southern Europeans, according to the researchers. Interestingly, these ancient genomes don't share many similarities with modern-day Swedes, despite their discovery and excavations in Sweden.
Hunter-gathers had genes most similar to extreme-northern populations
"The fact that the hunter-gatherers are most similar to Finns, Orcadians and other extreme-northern populations suggests that they were indeed the last major part of the Mesolithic meta-population that populated large parts of Europe before the early farmers appeared," said Anders Götherström of Uppsala University, who is another senior author of the Science report. "And the fact that the farmer is most similar to southeastern Europeans makes sense too, as that is from where the spread of agriculture north and eastward started."
"The results suggest that agriculture spread across Europe in concert with a migration of people," added Skoglund in the news release. "If farming had spread solely as a cultural process, we would not expect to see a farmer in the north with such genetic affinity to southern populations."
The researchers suggest that Europe's early, intrepid farmers traveled north across the continent, settled in the northern regions and eventually mixed with resident hunter-gatherer populations. Consequently, the genomes of most modern Europeans were likely shaped by this prehistoric migration that first brought farming to the continent, they say, according to the recent study.
The report by Skoglund et al. was supported by the Lars Hierta Memorial Foundation, Nilsson-Ehle Donationerna, Marie Curie Actions, the Danish National Research Council, the Royal Swedish Academy of Science and the Swedish Research Council.

Polarization comes out of the stone age
In another recent study, hundreds of skeletal remains , many from a newly discovered cave in Germany, have produced a startling reminder of the power of social boundaries. You have the blue states and the red states, the conservatives defending their land--the warriors--and the indigenous people hunting like cowboys and Indians. But the cowboys and Indians were all from the same continent, stone age Europe. Only Europe was divided then into the north and south, like when the civil war happened. But this civil war was more civil, so scientists think, because the north and south married one another.
What brought farmers from Southeast Europe (Aegean region) to Central Europe 7,500 years ago? Could it have been the great flood from melting glaciers that poured into the Mediterranean and then broke through the Bosphorus, forming the Black Sea out of what it used to be back then, a smaller, freshwater lake? See, "Ballard Finds Traces of Ancient Habitation Beneath Black Sea." Or check out the site, "Ballard and the Black Sea" for updates. Usually when farmers from the south move to the north it's because of a disaster happening back home or the children ran out of land to farm in the geographic area of their families and identity.
Farmers showed up from the Near East and Southeast Europe about 7,500 years ago, and populated Central Europe as those living in Central Europe moved into Northern Europe perhaps to avoid the farmers and to keep their distance
The farmers brought their grains with them and began farming all over Central Europe. But another study says the indigenous hunters and gatherers kept their distance from the farmers.
For at least another 2,000 years, these distinct groups refused to marry and combine resources. Instead, they kept their distance and would rarely cross their cultural boundaries to find a mate. Until the farmers reached the northernmost parts of Europe such as Scandinavia. Eventually, the two groups did marry one another's offspring.
You have one scenario where the indigenous people who somewhat resembled the Finns, but with genes different from modern people of today, backed off and largely disappeared from the scene altogether, fleeing to the north to continue their fishing, hunting, and gathering what grows in the wild. Eventually, they returned to move closer to the farmers. But for centuries they didn't intermarry. It was as if the farmers took so much land from the hunters that social boundaries and perhaps resentment grew because now the hunters appeared to be migrating or pushed to the far north, from Central Europe into the frozen climate of Scandinavia.
2000 years of parallel societies in stone age Central Europe that avoided one another
You can check out the recent study published October 2013 in Science, "2000 Years of Parallel Societies in Stone Age Central Europe," one of two new papers on Neolithic Europe published online recently by the journal, Science. It's as if the hunters-gatherers wanted to preserve their ancient ways of finding food instead of digging into the dirt and planting grains or farming other foods, including raising livestock.
The study's abstract notes that debate on the ancestry of Europeans centers on the interplay between Mesolithic foragers and Neolithic farmers. Foragers are generally believed to have disappeared shortly after the arrival of agriculture
Foragers versus farmers or foragers move away from farmers moving into their territory?
To investigate the relation between foragers and farmers, researchers examined Mesolithic and Neolithic samples from the Blätterhöhle site. Mesolithic mitochondrial DNA sequences were typical of European foragers, whereas the Neolithic sample included additional lineages that are associated with early farmers. However, isotope analyses separate the Neolithic sample into two groups: One with an agriculturalist diet and one with a forager and freshwater fish diet, the latter carrying mitochondrial DNA sequences typical of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers. This indicates that the descendants of Mesolithic people maintained a foraging lifestyle in Central Europe for more than 2000 years after the arrival of farming societies.
Were farmers/ranchers fighting the hunters because they had to defend their land? Or did they push the Central European hunters into the far north of Scandinavia and Finland where the winters were frozen? The scenario is full of tension between farmers and those who don't own land or live in permanent housing. Was it a fight between cowboy and rancher?
No one wrote down the scenario because written languages weren't common in that part of the world at the time. So archaeologists have to look at tools, pottery, charcoal, burials, and genes
Europe seemed to be divided by climate into the red and blue states we see in the USA, but with emphasis on farmers and hunters afraid of one another, afraid to clash, until two thousand years passes, and then they marry one another and settle down to farming with hunting on the side. How the scientists are piecing together what happened then is through analysis of mitochondrial DNA from skeletal remains. The genes point to the migration patterns and lineages.
Analyzing what farmers ate and what hunters-gathers ate involves studies of the variety of foods showing up in the carbon, sulfur and nitrogen isotopes in the prehistoric people's teeth and bones. Archeogeneticists can tell whether a diet was mostly fish or heavy in grains. Were the farmers vegetarians or did they raise livestock and keep them in barns and corrals?
Did the hunters adopt farming because they married farmers' daughters?
If the hunters were pushed into the far north of Europe and Central Asia, how could they have married the farmer's daughter living in Central Europe whose grandparents migrated from southeast Europe, such as the Aegean Sea area? An enduring debate for decades has been whether agriculture arose in Europe through "cultural diffusion," in which the techniques of farming and animal husbandry were adopted by the indigenous population from distant sources, or whether an entirely new population of people migrated Southeast to Northwest and kicked out out the natives/indigenous peoples because their farming tools could be shaped into weapons to defend the land they settled?
A second paper recently published in Science, shows how scientists analyzed hundreds of skeletal remains from multiple sites in Central Europe. This second study shows the culture clash and the mad dash for land with good soil for raising food which could feed a larger family
That could mean lots of skirmishes and wars as the warrior farmers defend the land they settled on as squatters so to speak. As far as clashes, the farmer and hunter fight also pits type A "farmer blood type" against the cave-man type O hunter blood type that supposed to be more meat and fish or Paleo diet oriented than the largely vegetarian, grain, plant, and some livestock diet of the fruit-feeding farmer from the palm latitudes.
You can check out that study. Research shows how the farmers brought with them farm animals as livestock, took over the land, and pushed the hunters into the more northern part of Europe where the growing season for farmers is short. The land may be frozen much of the year. And the hunters are left to survive on a meat, marrow, and fish diet in their rivers or pick the wild berries there for a short growing season. Some hunters made a type of bread without using grain, but instead using various root vegetables growing in the wild.
Did cultural diffusion happen or not?
Did Europe (and Central Asia) become a parallel universe with hunters and farmers staying as far away from one another as possible to avoid the clashes as the warrior farmers defended their land against the 'wolves' (hunter-gatherers) trespassing and hungry?
The parallel societies also shows a lot of intermarriage between farmers and hunters. The "parallel societies" evidence is based on skeletal remains found in a cave near the German city of Hagen. The cave, called Blätterhöhle, or Leaf Cave, has a long, narrow entrance, and was not discovered until 2004. Excavators found more than 400 skeletal remains. The DNA evidence showed that some people were descendants of hunter-gatherers and some were from the farming lineage. The shocker is they didn't intermarry for thousands of years.
Hunters ate a diet high in fish. Farmers made their foods from grains. Each group stuck to his family's habit of eating patterns and diets. They didn't admix at first, not for a long time. When the archaeogeneticists did their isotopic analysis, it showed they shared the same cemeteries, that is the grounds where they buried their dead. That sharing of where the dead were buried went on for up to 600 years.
They knew one another. But were they ever close friends or simply neighbors who traded with one another? But they really didn't marry one another. The reason is that they wanted to each keep identity and family. The southeastern European farmers living now in Central Europe wanted their language and culture.
The indigenous Northern Europeans wanted their identity also. So they stayed apart for thousands of years...like the red and blue states...the conservatives and the liberals. Only which was which? Segregation was rampant, the scientists surmise. But it wasn't based on color of hair, eyes, or skin. They looked similar enough. But psychologically their ethnic identity meant staying close to family. So they didn't mate with people from the other group. Farmers married farmers and inherited land.
And the landless, poor hunters married other landless poor hunters for thousands of years, eventually perhaps gleaning off the excess fruit and vegetables, eggs, or other foods produced by farmers...until more modern times, when hunting eventually became a way to find food in the forest for the poor and landless and taken up by the rich and landed gentry as a hobby as in the hunt as sport instead of to survive and quell hunger because dinner already was on the table from the farm.
The centuries when hunters disappeared into the forest changed when hunger took over or the forest was cut down by the farmers building permanent housing. Eventually you end up with ice-age type herders in the North with their reindeer herds that supply most of the food needs as well as clothing from the skins. And the farmers in Central Europe start planting their apple trees. But that takes thousands of more years.
In the end, they do marry and admix, but that's in more current times. That's why the genes of Europeans today show an admixture between hunter and farmer. And original hunter genes from the stone age aren't showing up in modern people, but the comparison of the genes puts them closer to the modern Finns. Were the hunters pushed further North by the farmers moving into their Central European hunting grounds? Or did they disappear from eventual intermarriage with the farmers thousands of years later?
Did the civil war in the USA back in the 1860s repeat the similar culture clash of Central Europe 7,000 years ago between the farmer/rancher and the hunter/fisherman/gatherer who didn't own land or have a permanent home (other than a boat and perhaps a temporary house made of bones and animal skins, or log cabin when it snowed)? Think of today's Lapland communities and their reindeer herds traveling hundreds of miles compared to the vineyards of Central and Southeastern Europe or the grain belts and green belts versus the snow belts and forests Scandinavia, Finland, or Siberia.
On another note, farmers eventually may have had slaves, not the landless hunters because the hunters spent most of the day fishing for food. Do you still have a somewhat similar clash of identity between vegetarians and carnivore preferences where meat is perceived as more masculine than vegan foods, the farm-to-fork food security of the historic organic vegan farmer? The stone-age farmer was more of a rancher.

The ELIM Story
Elim Village offers seniors beautiful homes and gardens on over 20 acres in a mix of condominium and duplex homes in the desirable Fleetwood community in Surrey.
The Village offers seniors independence and a supportive Christian community. Here seniors find security, amenities, recreation, and fellowship.
Once completed, it is contemplated that Elim Village will offer every kind of accommodation from independent living to complex care. Here, regardless of the care service required, residents will take comfort in knowing they will never need to be separated from a spouse or their friends again.
In this oasis of comfort and harmony, where there is time and calm, where you relax with people who share your understanding, the biggest question will be – 'Why didn't I do this before?'
In the early nineties, during a Bible study of the Book of James, a group of Christians were profoundly impacted by this principle: Evidence of faith is demonstrated by good works.
They had a vision: to create a comprehensive Christian retirement community – professionally managed, enriched with amenities, celebrating community, independence, and the joy of life. It would be a village built on love, where spouses and friends need never worry again about being separated if they required different levels of care.
Faith, however, required action. So, in 1994 the Bible study group created the Elim Foundation, a registered charity, and two years later the Foundation established the Elim Housing Society.
Elim Housing Society is a not-for-profit society incorporated in 1996 under the Society Act of British Columbia.
The objective of the Society is to acquire, develop and hold property for housing developments and other facilities to accommodate elderly people and others who require special care.
This objective is carried on without purpose of gain for its members, and any income or profit is used in promoting the purposes of the Society.
