Japanese society is very concerned about forest conservation and development of biodiversity in Indonesia. Through President Director of the Gunma Safari Park (GSP) Japan, Takahashi Kunihiko, it handed over the donation for the conservation of Mangrove Information Center worth JPY 300,000 and the Mount Gede Pangrango National Park worth JPY 200,000. Symbolically, the handover of donations was carried out at the Mangrove Information Center, Saturday (Feb 8).
The whole entourage with the officials in Bali then performed greening and planted mangrove. Present in the activity were Frans Manansang Director of Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI), William Santoso General Manager of Bali Safari Marine Park, the Indonesian Ambassador in Tokyo, representatives of Mangrove Forest Management Center (BPHM), Bali Forestry Agency, Embassy of the Republic of Indonesia as well as a number of local officials of the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA).
Frans Manansang said that the TSI and GSP Japan had teamed up since 2000. The collaboration showed an encouraging result. "It happens because the Indonesian Ambassador in Tokyo, Sumadi Brotodiningrat, always plays a role in contributing through the activity of planting and conservation of wildlife in a variety of places in Indonesia," he said.
The TSI once held an Indonesian Festival in the GSP Japan as a platform to introduce Indonesian culture and biodiversity. Besides, it also introduced the animals as the results of breeding made by the TSI. "Japanese society welcomes the activity incredibly so that it can become an annual event," he said.
Meanwhile, Takahashi Kunihiko said that when organizing such an event the GSP always provided a charity box as a form of Japanese public concern about the environment, Indonesia's biodiversity and the ecosystems. "Hopefully, the contribution in the form of funds could benefit the conservation programs in Indonesia," he said.
The yields obtained from the charity box, affirmed Takahashi Kunihiko, became a kind of awareness of Japanese society through the GSP to the conservation effort made by Indonesian community through tree planting and reforestation activity. "The delivery of donation for conservation and reforestation has been carried out since 2002 located at the Mount Gede Pangrango National Park - Bodogol, at Way Kambas National Park - Lampung, as well as at some other places," he concluded.

Salt Lake magazine gave its first dining awards in 1996–the idea is to recognize Utah restaurants in the interest of fostering, encouraging and rewarding excellence in all areas of the restaurant business.
I wasn't around for the first one–a potluck supper held in Memory Grove. Now the evening is a full-blown party, with a formal awards presentation followed by a champagne reception. This year, winners will be celebrating at Natural History Museum of Utah.
Winners are determined by an awards panel, this year including Jim Santangelo and Chantelle Bourdeaux, as well as Scott Beck of Visit Salt Lake and Jason Mathis, director of the Downtown Alliance, in addition to myself.
It's a fun night, and we wish everyone could come see their favorite restaurants take home the prize. Because that's not possible, we'll post as many pics and videos online as we can of the presentations, the party and your best local chefs and restaurateurs partying together on a rare night off together.
Also, the March-April issue of the magazine will be out this week, so you can read all about the winners and the event. Results of your vote for Readers Choice are also in this issue.
Eat well and stay tuned.

NBC just announced today, May 9, that "Community" will be cancelled without six seasons and a movie, instead it will be only five seasons. But, will Abed's prediction come true? Will a meteor hitting the earth being the ending of "Community"?
So, it has not been confirmed yet that the April 17 season finale is it's last show. Can fans only hope a television movie to tie up all lose ends?
But, while NBC was cancelling "Community" it was also busy renewing other television shows for the 2014-2015 television season. NBC renewed "Hannibal" for a third season and "About a Boy" for season two.
But, NBC has been loyal to its strong consistent show, "Law and Order: SUV" and will renew it for a whopping sixteenth season. "Law and Order: SVU" has been a steady show for the station that seems to be waning in the views. They have also renewed "Parks and Recreation", "Grimm", "The Blacklist", "Chicago Fire", and "Chicago PD".
Will "Community" fans try to rally again like they did before and save the series? Will they try to get Sony to get another television station to pick them up? The rally cry of six seasons and a movie simply can't die like this! Come on folks let's see if we can save "Community" for at least one more season!
What do you think? Should we try and save "Community"?

For the past few years now, the University of Idaho's football team has seen its fair share of struggles, especially in the play of their defensive secondary. The Vandals took their first step toward improving in that specific area as former NFL standout Ashley Ambrose was hired as the new secondary coach on Coach Paul Petrino's staff this past Monday.
Ambrose, who graduated from Mississippi Valley State in 1992, spent 13 years playing in the National Football League and was named the 1996 Defensive Back of the Year in the American Football Conference and received All-Pro honors as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. A second round draft pick in 1992 by the Indianapolis Colts, Ambrose spent the first few years of his professional career with the Colts, before making the transition to Cincinnati in 1996. After a three year stint with the Bengals that ended in 1998, Ambrose played for New Orleans in 1999 and Atlanta from 2000-2002 before returning to New Orleans, where he finished his professional career in 2004.
"We're real excited to have Coach Ambrose on the staff," said Petrino. "He was a great player in the NFL and played under some of the greater coaches ever. He brings great knowledge of the game."
His ability to connect with players on a personal level made him a great fit on Petrino's staff.
"He has great one-on-one relationships with the players," said Petrino. "We're just very fortunate and really lucky to have him."
After wrapping up his professional playing career, Ambrose turned to coaching. While Ambrose was hired by Atlanta as an intern coach for the team in 2006, it wasn't really till 2008 that he first started appearing among the college coaching ranks.
Originally hired on as a defensive technical intern by the University of Colorado, Ambrose spent three years with the program, becoming the receivers coach in 2009 and the defensive backs coach in 2010. During the 2010 campaign, Ambrose coached senior defensive back Jimmy Smith to first team honors in the Big 12 and helped develop him into a first-round selection (taken by Baltimore with the 27th overall pick) in the 2011 NFL Draft. Ambrose would also see defensive back Jalil Brown receive a honorable mention selection that season, sharing with Smith the team's high mark for pass breakups. Brown would also be drafted in 2011, selected in the fourth round by the Kansas City Chiefs.
Following his time at Colorado, Ambrose would move to the University of California as a defensive backs coach in 2011. While at Cal, Ambrose coached the wildly talented Josh Hill and Steve Williams, both who would go on to earn honorable mentions for All-Pac-12 honors for the first time in their careers. Both of the safeties on that team in 2011, D.J. Campbell and Sean Cattouse, went on to play in the NFL after receiving honorable mentions for All-Pac-12 honors as seniors that same year. Ambrose's secondary was pivotal contributors to Cal's defense in 2011. The Golden Bears led the Pac-12 in both total defense (333 ypg) and pass defense (204 ypg), while being ranked 25th and 37th nationally at the same time. Cal was also second in their conference and 39th nationally in pass efficiency defense (122 ypg) while recording 10 of the team's 12 interceptions that season.
A native of New Orleans, Ambrose graduated from Alcee Fortier High School in 1988, where he lettered in football, basketball, and track and field. At Mississippi Valley State, he lettered four years at cornerback and earned a bachelor's degree in industrial technology.
Ashley and his wife, Melanie Zaharias-Ambrose, were married on May 25, 2012. He is the father of two children, Aisha and A.J.

Tuesday (Wednesday) Coffee Talk - Ethical Racing
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
A recent "incident" at a local race brings up a topic of ethical racing. When is a racer crossing the line when making deals to other competitors while in the race? For example say there are 3 in a break and all 3 are from different teams and likely all in the prize winning. What if one of the racers says "Hey I'll give you all my prize winning if you don't chase me down in my next attack." One of the rider agrees and the rider who made the offer does go on to win the race. Is that wrong and when is the line crossed in going too far? What if the rider was wealthy and basically paid them off to let him/her win? What if this was the event for State Championships?
Striking up deals in the race and sharing of prize winnings happens all the time but when is the deal too much?
OK, this is just one scenario and one could create an dozen or more like examples of offers and deals and such.

Hi all. I was tipped to this
Submitted by Russell Stevenson (not verified) on
Hi all. I was tipped to this thread from a teammate. I've read it. Here is the story...
Yes I asked Danny to give me the points in exchange for the prize money. It was a last minute spur of the moment choice I made, one the I regretted almost immediately. Danny and I had no predetermined agenda. It was foolish, disrespectful and insulting not only my fellow racers but to the race organizer and fans. It regret it and I have been apologizing to everyone involved since that afternoon. So I would like to apologize to everyone here as well. I'm sorry. That was a silly act.
Reading this thread I am not going to try and convince any of you to change your mind or opinion of he or I, you are entitled to that. I will however try to reflect as to why. I've been asked that allot over the last few days...
I did it to gain a points advantage over Spencer Powlison whom I was only a handful of point ahead of in the overall CO cup. He and I have been thrashing each other all year and I saw an opportunity to gain not one but 2 places over him (I had already secured 2nd on the day). The moment I made the call out to Danny I almost immediately tried to reverse it and told him "no, keep going" but he had already dismounted and the charade was on. I had only a few seconds to decide to pass him or to pull over. Danny was already in sight of the finish and he too really didn't know what to do. As I crossed the line I was embarrassed to say the least that we had F'd up. We tried to cover it up afterwards but people knew and I knew that continuing to lie about it wasn't the answer. The first person I apologized to was Spencer, then the announcer, then to a hand full of fans and fellow racer's and also to my BCS team. I haven't hid from this. I have only come clean admitting that it was foolish and disrespectful. When I showed up the next day at Castle Rock I knew what was behind everyone's glare towards me and I owned up to them as well. It was a bad choice.
Say and think what you want everyone, I won't argue your opinions of me. But those who know me know I am a man of great character. I don't cheat. In this case I made a hasty and unethical decision I regret and I have deal with it. But it doesn't take away from me as a person or the 20+ years of Elite and Professional racing history. I have lined up along side some of our sports biggest cheats, raced internationally and traveled our country for years as a Pro roadie. I can tell you for a fact, worse things have and do happen in cycling, especially in road racing. In my road career I was cheated out of a career advancement by Dopers. I raced in that era for years and I know I was up against legitimate cheats who took jobs, contracts and money out of my pocket. I look back now and I get pissed. It doesn't feel very good to be cheated. When I made the choice to cheat (for a mere couple of points at a local race), I didn't feel very good. I hope this helps you all to understand that I truly regret this on a moral level. Bikes and bike racing has been my life since I can remember. I have love and passion for it like we all do. I respect and cherish it. The last thing I ever want to do is cheat it.
Maybe that is part of this whole equation; that Danny and I both are roadies (where I began racing at the age of 15) and in that culture it's pretty common. Deals in breakaways, deals in chasing groups, deals in the Caravan and deals for wins and losses are made all the time, you just don't ever see it. Please know, none of this in any way condones what we did, I think for some it's just the first time it's been witnesses - and executed - so poorly. We F'd up no question. We regret it absolutely. I just want some of you to understand why and how we can even come to make these decisions. All this said there's no place for it in a local Cross race. None.
What's worse is I didn't need to do it. I was caught up in the points battle and saw a chance to sneak a few points over my competition. In the larger picture that wasn't necessary. The CO Cup isn't Pro racing but it is a competitive and sometimes even simple weekend races can summon some ugliness. I got carried away and have to face the music for my behavior. I know we have all done things we are ashamed of. This is one of those moments for me... on a public stage.
I hope this helps explain to some of you why - and - I really hope I can be forgiven. I respect everyones opinion on the matter. It's my garbage to manage and it won't happen again.

It says a lot about a person when you can stand up in public and say, "I f*cked up, it will not happen ever again". We all have moments with the adrenalin flowing where the "undo" button would come in handy.

I just don't get why anyone
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I just don't get why anyone cares. if 2nd place didn't want to win, he didn't want to win. Sometimes I could win if I cared enough to pedal "that" hard, but I don't always, so I don't win in those cases. I wish someone would give me prize money for being lazy.

#set [global] $var = EXPR
#set is used to create and update local variables at run time.
The expression may be any Python expression.
Remember to preface variable names with $ unless they're part of an
intermediate result in a list comprehension.
Here are some examples:
#set $size = $length * 1096 #set $buffer = $size + 1096 #set $area = $length * $width #set $namesList = ['Moe','Larry','Curly'] #set $prettyCountry = $country.replace(' ', ' ')
#set variables are useful to assign a short name to a
$deeply.nested.value, to a calculation, or to a printable version of
a value. The last example above converts any spaces in the 'country' value
into HTML non-breakable-space entities, to ensure the entire value appears on
one line in the browser.
#set variables are also useful in
#if expressions, but
remember that complex logical routines should be coded in Python, not in
#if $size > 1500 #set $adj = 'large' #else #set $adj = 'small' #end if
#set $adj = $size > 1500 and 'large' or 'small'
#if will not work for this, since it
produces output rather than setting a variable.
You can also use the augmented assignment operators:
## Increment $a by 5. #set $a += 5
By default,
#set variables are not visible in method calls or include
files unless you use the
global attribute:
#set global $var =
EXPRESSION. Global variables are visible in all methods, nested templates and
included files. Use this feature with care to prevent surprises.

Cervical Screening Programme - England, 2007-2008 [NS]
This bulletin presents information about the cervical screening programme in England and includes data about the call and re-call system, screening samples examined by pathology labs and referrals to coloposcopy and subsequent treatment and outcome.
Note: Revision (13 August 2010)
There is a systematic error in the calculation of repeat inadequate samples quoted in paragraph 2.3.1 of the 2008-09 Bulletin and similar figures from 2006 onwards, which has resulted in a slightly inflated percentage being published. This issue will be addressed in the 2009-10 publication and where year on year comparison occurs, historic data will be amended.
Key facts
At 31 March 2008:
- over the last ten years the percentage of eligible women who have been screened at least once in the previous 5 years (coverage) has fallen to 78.6 per cent compared with 79.2 per cent last year and 82.5 per cent in 1998
- coverage was 80 per cent or higher in 63 of the 152 Primary Care Organisations (PCOs), compared to 71 in the previous year.
- prior to the introduction of new technology (liquid based cytology - LBC), rates of inadequate samples were over 9 per cent or about 300,000 women a year being screened again. As LBC has been rolled out across the country the rate has fallen every year and is now at a record low of under 3 per cent or less than 100,000 women. (Note, these numbers will include some women who will need more than one repeat test)
- laboratories examined 3.6 million samples (for women of all ages), about 1 per cent fewer than in 2006-07. This is partly due to the fall in inadequate samples as LBC continues to roll out
- the number of women invited (25-64) has risen from 4.01 to 4.18 million in the last year, an increase of 4.3 per cent, the largest number of invitations since the introduction of the 25 to 64 target age range
- the number of women screened (all ages) has remained almost level at 3.4 million, however those within the 25 to 64 age range have risen by 1.7 per cent to 3.2 million
- test results were available for 60 per cent of women within 4 weeks compared to 48 per cent last year. This year we were able to break this down further with results available within 2 weeks currently at 11 per cent but this is expected to rise
- the percentage of laboratory tests reported within 4 weeks has continued to improve, rising from 74 per cent last year to 83 per cent this year, the percentage reported within 2 weeks has also risen substantially (from 43 to 49 per cent).

On Tuesday, June 17, 2014, TLC's The Little Couple concluded with Bill Klein and Jennifer Arnold renewing their marriage vows in an elaborate ceremony planned in secret for Jen's 40th birthday.
In the build up to this finale, Bill stated to have been setting it up weeks in advance. This included acquiring a customized dress from Jen's tailor, flying out all of their friends and family from all across America to be in attendance (including one aunt that had previously last been on a plane over thirty years ago), and even choreographing a flash mob-style dance routine with them.
Bill even went the extra mile and made the marriage ceremony a second surprise in a series of two. He had previously deflected suspicion that he was going to propose to her with a second ring by planning a quiet weekend getaway at the beach and gifting her with "over the hill" gag gifts like a feather boa and a doughnut pillow.
It may have seemed extravagant given that they had only been together for five years, but taking into account everything that had happened during that final year, it must have seemed much longer.
In 2013, Bill and Jen, who had previously been unsuccessful with fertility treatments, adopted two children from overseas. In March, they adopted a son, William, from China, and in October, also adopted a daughter, Zoey, from India.
Also, while in the process of adopting Zoey, Jen fell ill, and in December, revealed that she was diagnosed with stage 4 choriocarcinoma, a rare form of cancer (Jen is now in remission).
By the conclusion of this sixth season, Bill had both started his family and simultaneously feared he would lose the person he started it with. With this in mind, it's easy to understand why this fifth year was so special to him.
All this speaks to the true heart, and the appeal, of The Little Couple. Notice that, not once during the entire review thus far, has the significance of the show's title ever been mentioned: Bill, Jen and both of their children all have dwarfism.
So many reality TV shows today are far too eager to resort to exploitation -- to exaggerating the shortcomings of their participants for the purpose of being pointed and laughed at (I'm looking at you Honey Boo Boo).
In contrast, Bill and Jen only ever draw attention to their reduced stature for the purpose of raising awareness. The Little Couple is, first and foremost, about their otherwise normal lives and the most heartwarming moments of it.
This is a rare sight in an entertainment medium that otherwise practically endeavors to be as trashy as possible, and a breath of fresh air for everyone weary of the over-indulgence of self-declared celebrities with low IQs and monumental egos.

DU Meter is a powerful and highly configurable network monitor that helps you keep a very close eye on how your network and internet traffic is being used.
The program is unusually smart. You don't have to monitor all network traffic, for instance, although that's one option: you can also have DU Meter track just your internet activities, or only your local LAN traffic.
Set that up and a small but informative chart will immediately begin displaying your current upload and download speed. This works for us, but if you disagree then there are plenty of tweaks to apply. You're able to choose from 3 graph types; you can display separate graphs for uploads and downloads; the graph can be embedded in your taskbar, or even collapsed to a tiny bar with upload and download figures only.
If you don't want to watch your bandwidth all the time, then you can just have DU Meter warn you when your total monthly traffic exceeds a particular figure. It's possible to perform some action as a result of these alerts, too, for example stopping all network traffic once a particular limit has been reached.
Or you can browse a lengthy list of detailed reports. These cover the traffic today; your total traffic this week, this month and more (with projected estimates of what's going to happen in future); hourly, daily, weekly or monthly reports, and more. You can also figure out traffic costs and configure custom reports of your own, and any of these can be exported to PDF, XLS, CSV, HTML and other formats in a few clicks.
Version 7.0 (Change Log):
- Simultaneous monitoring of Internet and LAN traffic has been added. You can now seamlessly switch from seeing only Internet network traffic to LAN and vice versa with just one mouse click.
- DU Meter now sports per-application traffic monitoring! Ever wondered which application is using up all your network bandwidth? Guess no more: switch to the new per-application traffic monitoring tab in DU Meter and instantly see what's going on.
- Network Connections now shows accumulated per-connection and per-application traffic totals, while discriminating between Internet and LAN network traffic (DU Meter exclusive!).
- Wi-Fi signal monitoring is now available! From now on, a sudden change in network throughput can easily be correlated with Wi-Fi signal quality changes. See if improving your Wi-Fi reception can in fact improve your Internet experience.
- Much improved DU Meter main window: tabs to easily switch between new traffic monitoring modes, new color scheme for better blend with Windows 8 and Windows 10, new Metro look, snap-to-screen-edges borders, and more.
- Accessibility improvements for visually impaired users: DU Meter now fully respects and supports Windows high-contrast mode, and fonts and font sizes can be changed in Options.
- Full Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016 support. We have extensively tested DU Meter with the current pre-release version of Windows 10, resolved numerous issues and made sure it works perfectly. If any updates are required when Windows 10 is finally released, these updates will be free for registered DU Meter 7 users

Everyone wants to find that right person for them. The one that matches their lifestyle, who fits their personality and who makes them happy. Finding that person can be a difficult thing if you don't know yourself that well first. When you're young you go after that initial physical attraction and when that fades, you find out that you have nothing in common and might not even like each other. Ending up with a partner who is nothing like what you want can be very difficult usually ending in divorce or infidelity.
At times it can be heartbreaking to be with someone that you were in love with in your twenties to find out in your thirties that you have nothing in common, that you don't click anymore and that the love in the relationship has died. If only loving someone would be strong enough to keep that bond together, but usually it is not.
We meet people at different times in our lives, sometimes those people are just meant to be there for a certain amount of time to teach us a lesson about ourselves. Sometimes they are there to teach us we didn't need someone else at all to really love ourselves. When we change those relationships shift and we grow apart. That is just how life is. If you are lucky though, you meet your soul mate. Someone who grows with you through the hard times and good times. Someone who stays with you no matter what and is your strongest source of support. To find that person you must know and love yourself. Then you will attract that person.
Ways to get to know yourself is by spending some time alone with yourself. If you have always been in relationships and never had time to get to know you take that time to do so. Create a loving relationship with yourself by honoring and cherishing yourself. Treat yourself like you would want your partner to treat you. Meditation is also a good way to get in touch with who you really are. Get a new hobby and do things you love. These things will help you to find out who you really are and in return attract your ideal partner.

I'm basically a good person and I'm very happy with my own religion, so why should I believe in Jesus?

To tell you the truth, if everyone were good in God's sight, nobody would need Jesus and we wouldn't be spending our efforts making web sites like this one.
The psalmist long ago said that there is no one that does good, not even one."1 Oh, to be sure, most of us aren't murderers or thieves or anything like that. We like to think of ourselves as respectable, with no need for major changes in our lives. Yet the picture the Scriptures present is that even the best of us is desperately sinful, deeply alienated from God, from each other and even from ourselves.
The problem of mankind, according to the Bible, is precisely that we are "happy with our own religion," "happy with what we believe." Usually what we believe is not what the Scriptures teach. We're happy to think that we're good, that surely God will overlook our "little" mistakes and shortcomings and that He isn't really serious about our sins. We're happy to place our own wills and desires at the center of our private universe, rather than making the will and the desires of our Creator primary.
But God is serious about our sin. As Jews we tend to think that sin is exclusively a matter of committing individual acts. But sin is much more than that. The Scriptures show us that sin is a condition of human existence which does not pertain to a particular act, but rather to an attitude, one of arrogance and rebellion. The best of men, like Abraham, Moses and King David, all committed acts of sin. The prophet Isaiah said, "We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way."2 This righteous prophet indicated that it is only human for each man, himself included, to seek self-fulfillment rather than to seek to fulfill the precepts of God. King David said that his sin was a condition from birth.3 Sin is universal--that's why the Day of Atonement is universally observed among Jewish people as the most solemn of all holidays. And that's why God provided a way of forgiveness, beginning with the Old Testament animal sacrifices and culminating in the death of the Messiah. Our responsibility is to respond in faith and to place our trust in Jesus as our atonement. We must return to a view of life centered in God's way of looking at things, rather than in our own preferences.
We really are sinful in the depths of our being, and all the education, affluence and technology in the world hasn't changed that; it's only enabled us to express our rebellion in a more sophisticated fashion. Jesus really did come in history, really did die and really did rise from the dead. All the objections in the world and all the ignoring of the evidence won't make that reality go away. Perhaps your attitude is that of the skeptic who said, "I won't believe--and don't confuse me with the facts!" But God really does hold us responsible for facing the facts about ourselves, and accepting His offer of forgiveness through Jesus.
In a word, you should believe in Jesus, not because it will make you happy, but because it's true.

I've been aware of the One Word phenomenon for a while now and it always impressed me that people would be inspired by a word for an entire year.
It seemed cool and I really liked the idea.
I toyed with different words like SEEK! ADVENTURE! OPPORTUNITY!
But then I started hearing a gentle whisper in the back of my mind…and the word terrifies me.
The Lord is calling me to be with Him in a more significant way. I'm not entirely sure what my word for the year is going to mean and how it will translate in my daily life. But He's seeking me, this year will be an adventure, and I'm sure I'll have countless opportunities for connecting with Him.
Wish me luck!!!

Hagan/Taj is so painfully uncomfortable doing guy-on-guy stuff that it makes his videos difficult to watch. Total wood killer. He is fine as hell, but if he dislikes it as much as he appears to, he should stick to str8 porn. There are plenty of other hot "str8" guys who can at least fake pleasure.

Tropical Storm Colin:
Here is the 5 am EDT/4 am CDT Information On Tropical Storm Colin:
Location: 14.0 North Latitude, 47.2 West Longitude.
Maximum Sustained Winds: 40 mph.
Movement: West-Northwest or 285 Degrees at a forward speed of 23 mph.
Minimum Central Pressure: 1006 millibars or 29.71 inches.
TD #4 has become better organized overnight and satellite imagery is showing curved bands of convection wrapping about halfway around the storm on its western side. Intensity estimates based on satellite imagery indicates that this system now has 40 mph winds; so it has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Colin by the National Hurricane Center. Some strengthening is likely today through Wednesday as wind shear values will generally range from 7 to 14 knots. After Wednesday, westerly wind shear is forecast to increase over the storm thanks to an upper level low pressure system over the southwest Atlantic. One caveat to this intensity forecast is that if Colin tracks further south than what the guidance package is forecast (which is quite possible), not as much shear will impact the storm and greater strengthening would be possible. For now, I'm following the NHC intensity forecast and cap the storm off at 60 mph by Wednesday.
Colin is currently tracking west-northwest at a forward speed of 23 mph. Colin is currently being steered by a ridge of high pressure to its north and an easterly tropical jet. Colin is forecast to continue tracking slightly north of due west at a forward speed of 20+ mph today into tonight. By Wednesday, the storm should slow down some in forward speed as it starts to feel a weakness in the high pressure ridge. The track model guidance is in pretty good agreement with the forecast track from today through Wednesday, however, after Wednesday, the track guidance continues to diverge on a forecast track. The GFS model and the European model has shifted westward overnight in its forecast track with the Euro model forecasting a track across the extreme northern Leeward Islands by late Wednesday and then a track to the east of the Bahamas on Friday into Saturday with a close brush with the outer banks of North Carolina on Monday. The GFDL and HWRF models continue to forecast a track well out into the Atlantic and imply a possible threat to Bermuda in about five days. The Canadian model is even further west and forecasts a track that would impact much of the Leeward Islands Wednesday night into Thursday morning, Puerto Rico during the day Thursday, much of the Bahamas from Friday through Saturday and ultimately a track that keeps it just barely offshore of the coast of eastern Florida, Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina during Sunday and Monday.
Personally, I continue to think that the many of the model guidance members are still overdoing the strength of the low pressure trough and eroding the ridge of high pressure too much. I'm leaning towards a track somewhere between the European and Canadian model and this is significantly west of the National Hurricane Center forecast. Could I be wrong?? Absolutely!!; but this is what my analysis is showing and I'm sticking to my guns that this will track further west like what the Canadian and European models are implying. So, this may actually track right over the northern Leeward Islands Wednesday night as a tropical storm and just north of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico during Thursday morning as a tropical storm. After that, I suspect that this may take a track very close to or just a shade east of the Bahamas Friday through Saturday as a Category 1 hurricane and then potentially come fairly close, but not make landfall on the US Southeast Atlantic coast Sunday and Monday as a hurricane.
All interests in the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico should continue to closely monitor the progress of this storm. I will continue to monitor things closely and keep you all updated.
Elsewhere In The Tropical Atlantic:
There are some other areas in the Atlantic that are worth mentioning this morning. The first is a tropical wave located in the eastern Caribbean. Satellite imagery showed widespread shower and thunderstorm activity associated with this wave and some strengthening seems likely, especially once it gets west of 74 West Longitude later Wednesday. Pretty much all of the model guidance forecasts development into a tropical depression or tropical storm but keeps it tracking west right into Honduras, Belize and the Yucatan Peninsula late this week. I generally agree with this and do not think that it will gain much, if any northward progress into the Gulf of Mexico as I think the high pressure ridge will keep it on a general westward track.
I'm also keeping an eye on a couple of other tropical waves. One that is right behind Colin and another that is now just coming off of the coast of Africa. The tropical wave right behind Colin is fairly disorganized and the one coming off of the coast of Africa may find some favorable conditions in a couple of days once it tracks southwestward away from the coast of Africa. So, both of these systems will be watched closely over the coming days.

In Theaters: June 21
Rumors of reshoots, rewrites and production problems have plagued World War Z ever since Marc Forster's $170 million-plus film adaptation of Max Brooks' 2006 novel began filming back in 2011. Screw the toxic buzz. The nerve-frying, addictively exciting WWZ comes ready to rock. It grabs you and squeezes hard – no mercy. The suspense is killer as Brad Pitt, generating mega-watt star power, plays a United Nations troubleshooter out to zap a global zombie invasion. The dead don't walk, they sprint. You can feel the oozing buggers even when you can't see them. Check out that opening attack in Philadelphia. Tension, not gore, fuels this great summer ass-kick. It's everything you want in a blockbuster – smart, shifty, and scary as hell.

PDF (Preprint)
In this note we give an overview of results concerning the Korteweg-de Vries equation ut=uxxx+6uux
and small perturbations of it. All the technical details are contained in our book [KdV & KAM, Springer, Berlin, 2003 MR1997070].
The KdV equation is an evolution equation in one space dimension which is named after the two Dutch mathematicians Korteweg and de Vries, but was apparently derived even earlier by Boussinesq. It was proposed as a model equation for long surface waves of water in a narrow and shallow channel. Their aim was to obtain as solutions solitary waves of the type discovered in nature by Scott Russell in 1834. Later it became clear that this equation also models waves in other homogeneous, weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive media. Since the mid-sixties the KdV equation has received a lot of attention in the aftermath of the computational experiments of Kruskal and Zabusky, which led to the discovery of the interaction properties of the solitary wave solutions and in turn to the understanding of KdV as an infinite-dimensional integrable Hamiltonian system.
Our purpose here is to study small Hamiltonian perturbations of the KdV equation with periodic boundary conditions. In the unperturbed system all solutions are periodic, quasi-periodic, or almost periodic in time. The aim is to show that large families of periodic and quasi-periodic solutions persist under such perturbations. This is true not only for the KdV equation itself, but in principle for all equations in the KdV hierarchy. As an example, the second KdV equation is also considered.

My father died two weeks later, and a few weeks after that, I realized I'd forgotten to turn off my audio recorder one afternoon in Georgia while he visited with his buddy the dairy farmer. As I played back their conversation, I heard him talk about us to his friend.
"My daughters have been good to me," he said, a declaration all the more credible in not having been meant for our ears. The efforts we made had served him well, but they also revealed strengths in my sisters that I benefited from realizing: Margaret's ability to see past vexation defused many tense moments, and Diane's determination and deep sense of responsibility pulled Dad through numerous financial mix-ups and one horrific 24-hour episode of unrelenting and intractable pain.
In the aftermath, I feel not only a kind of survivors' bond with my sisters but also admiration and a more self-conscious intention to value them as they are, enhanced but not hobbled by our common past. I aim to communicate clearly and, when necessary, eat crow.
Most siblings manage to come through the caregiving experience with their ties intact or strengthened, experts say, but of course there are extreme cases in which relationships shatter beyond repair. In her new book, Cain's Legacy: Liberating Siblings from a Lifetime of Rage, Shame, Secrecy, and Regret, New York City psychotherapist Jeanne Safer, PhD, expresses the provocative idea that we're all entitled to not have a sister or brother in our lives. Safer spoke to numerous caregivers, including a man who had gotten together with his brothers to build his mother a house. "When the mother died, she decided to leave the house entirely to her daughter, because the daughter was her favorite," Safer says. The brothers said that was unfair; the daughter said it was what their mom had wanted. Enraged, one of the brothers said he saw no point in trying to resolve this break with his sister. "The problem is that if you reconcile, what do you get?" he asked. "A relationship with her."
These siblings wound up at the scorched-earth end of the spectrum, but where there is something to salvage in a relationship, it's worth the try. As Blair Trippe notes, siblings may refuse to speak for 30 years, but nobody's really happy about it.
Improved sibling ties leave more room for adult children to be present with their dying parent, to share the pleasure of the parent's company and to talk through unsettled matters. A better bond among the children also helps the parent. "Somehow, when the siblings make decisions together, there seem to be checks and balances that insure that the parent's views are respected and represented," wrote psychologist Victor Cicirelli in his 1995 book.
Laura Catherine Brown lost her father 18 years ago, but she and her sisters still meet in Manhattan twice a year, on the anniversaries of the day he was born and the day he died.
"We try to go to the same restaurant," she says. "They let you sit for hours, and they give you napkins if they see you crying." If any of the sisters spends too much time reviewing how their parents disappointed her, Brown says her first reaction is impatience. "I think, Oh, crap, do we have to go through this again?" But then she stops herself, she says, not wanting to condemn the need to revisit the past. As adults, the sisters have allowed one another a leeway that has brought them a better understanding and intimacy. "Gradually my youngest sister has recognized all the ways our father didn't give, and I've recognized some of the good I couldn't see, and we've come together somewhere in the middle.
"Our bond has become stronger year by year. We weren't allies in childhood, but we can be now. How many people do you have that closeness to? In life, there's no other relationship like this."
Experts feel confident predicting two things about parental caregiving:

Three Instant Glam & Fab Fashion Mood Lifters
This entry was posted on October 14, 2011.
Perhaps you've had a bad week recently or just a bad day and you need to do something to lift up your spirits. You might have gotten into a fight with a best friend, spouse, or are just having a hard time at work. Reality is that we all have hard days once in a while. But it's how we react to them is what helps us bounce back. Instead of sitting at home watching a sad movie and eating ice cream or popcorn, let fashion be your best friend. Fashion therapy lifts a sad spirit and makes it happy again!
1. Go Shopping for a New Dress!
Shopping therapy is always recommended and who says you don't need a thing?! Just walking around window shopping and browsing the stores will lift us your spirits and also make you aware of the current trends too. On your way to the mall you may suddenly realize that you want a new dress! Splurge a little and think of a fun event that you could go to with a friend or loved one. Buy the dress and start planning for the fun ahead - the new dress and event to come will bring that smile back!
2. Treat Your Hair to New Extensions
Is it time to get some new extensions? If you already have extensions and they've been in your hair for quite some time it might be a good idea to head to the salon to make sure everything is secure and your extensions still look healthy. If you want to switch things up consider buying a new Virgin Indian Hair Weave to make your hair luscious and healthy once more!
Also, find extensions in a variety of colors! Our Curly Colored Indian Hair Extensions for example, come in a variety of different colors such as dark brown, medium brown, and black.
After you've gotten your hair done maybe you'll want to get your nails done too?! Make it a girl's day and then head out to dinner with a friend. Feeling glam is a wonderful mood lifter as you begin to embrace life again.
3. Get a Makeover
Have you ever received a makeover? Head on over to a counter of one of your favorite makeup brand names and have the makeup specialist help you decide what looks best for your features. Usually with a makeover you can just purchase what you would like, so now is the time to try things that you normally wouldn't try.
Have her put pink lip stick on and make your eyes look glamorous. Once you have your makeover you'll refreshed and beautiful. All arguments or stressful situations in life should hopefully dissipate.
It never hurts to occasionally spoil yourself when you need it the most. Sometimes all a girl needs is a little bit of fashion to lift up her spirits. Going shopping, getting your hair done, or having your face lit up with new makeup is exactly what you need to do after having a bad day. You'll feel glam and fab almost immediately.

Among other private and government organisations, renewable energy and research and development directorate of PDB (Bangladesh Power Development Board) displayed its activities, future planning and SHS connection system at the 'National Seminar and Exhibition on Renewable Energy-2013' jointly organised by Institute of Renewable Energy, University of Dhaka and Bangladesh Solar Energy Society.
In this year the theme of the exhibition was 'Strategic Priorities for Green Energy'. The event continued for three days from sixth to eighth April. PDB put on display the present generation level of renewable energy which includes solar, wind and hydro in particular, says a press release.
The upcoming projects are also highlighted in the exhibition which will help attain the government's vision of five percent of renewable generation out of the total generation using various fuels by 2015, and 10 per cent in 2020. Creating awareness among the consumers was the prime objective of PDB's stall in the exhibition.
The exhibition was inaugurated by Vice-chancellor of Dhaka University Prof. Dr. A.A.M.S. Arifin Siddique while Additional Secretary to Power Division of Energy Ministry Tapos Kumar Roy attended the ceremony as the special guest.
During exhibition several technical sessions were held with presentation of papers related to renewable energy. In the exhibition PDB team was led by Director of renewable energy research and development Engr. Md. Shafique Uddin.

On this day, May 13, 1898, Thomas Edison sues the American Mutoscope Company, claiming that the studio has infringed on his patent for the Kinetograph movie camera.
The American Mutoscope and Biograph Company was a motion picture company founded in 1895 and active until 1928. It was the first company in the United States devoted entirely to film production and exhibition, and for two decades was one of the most prolific, releasing over three thousand short films and twelve feature films.
In December 1908, Biograph joined Edison in forming the Motion Picture Patents Company in an attempt to control the industry and shut out smaller producers. The "Edison Trust," as it was nicknamed, was made up of Edison, Biograph, Essanay Studios, Kalem Company, George Kleine Productions, Lubin Studios, Georges Méliès, Pathé, Selig Studios, and Vitagraph Studios, and dominated distribution through the General Film Company.
The Motion Picture Patents Co. and the General Film Co. were found guilty of antitrust violation in October 1915, and dissolved

Going through the foreclosure process can be difficult to follow and understand. Banks are rarely cooperative these days, and it can be hard to keep track of all the paperwork that shows up. Fortunately, there are a few general steps that every foreclosure goes through.
In general, foreclosure proceedings are allowed to start in most states after a borrower is thirty days overdue on a payment. In some states, this period of time is as long as 90 days, and most banks tend to wait 90 days before starting the process. This gives the borrower enough time to make the payments and/or find a different way to finance the loan. In some cases, a borrower can also use this time to arrange a short sale with the bank.
Ever thirty days, the bank will send a borrower a letter informing him or her of the amount of due and the date on which the foreclosure will start. Note that it is not uncommon for a bank to give a borrower more time than this. Foreclosure paperwork can take a long time to process and many banks have been reporting delays recently. A delay is not something that a delinquent borrower should count on, however.
After filling an intent to foreclose on a property, a certified letter will be sent to the borrower. At this point, the borrower usually has thirty days to contest the foreclosure. Depending on the state, contesting the foreclosure will be done in or outside of court. Non-judicial states will allow a borrower to file paperwork showing why he or she believes the foreclosure is in error. By not filing, the foreclosure will proceed within the timeline outlined by the bank on their documents. Judicial states require the bank and the borrower to meet in front of a judge. At this meeting, the bank must prove that they have the legal right to foreclose on the property, and a property owner has the right to defend him or herself.
Typically, foreclosures take a lot longer in judicial states than they do in non-judicial states. At the height of the foreclosure crisis, some judicial states were reporting delays of up to a year or more, although this is rarely the case today. In non-judicial states, a foreclosure can occur as little as thirty days after the borrower receives notice.
Once the foreclosure is complete, the borrower has up to thirty days to vacate the property.

The next Shuttle crew to visit the ISS was finalized last week and includes Jim Voss, Susan Helms and Yuri Usachev - the second crew that will live aboard the ISS next year. They now will take an early 'peak' at their home during the STS-101 mission that will be commanded by Jim Halsell and piloted by Scott Horowitz. Rounding out the crew will be Mission Specialists Mary Ellen Weber and Jeff Williams. Atlantis is being readied at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida for the launch scheduled for no earlier than April 13.
While vehicle processing continues, mission planners are working on stowage and maintenance tasks that will be carried out on the 11-day flight. A spacewalk by Williams and Voss will include checking the position of a small crane mounted outside Zarya in addition to other tasks. The crane was installed during a spacewalk on the most recent Shuttle visit to the ISS. Plans call for Williams and Voss to ensure the crane is properly secured in its mounting socket.
Meanwhile, battery cycling continues on orbit with two of the six batteries currently in restoration mode, which is a procedure periodically carried out to maintain the life and capacity of each unit. At present, three batteries are supplying all the electrical needs of Station equipment.
STS-101 is designed to not only supply the Station with more logistics for use by future crews, but also to replace some of Zarya's aging batteries and other equipment in preparation for the arrival of the Zvezda service module in July. Presently, Zvezda is being readied for a launch between July 8-14.
Station managers plan to hold a meeting with the International Partners in the next week or two to finalize updates to the assembly sequence that will include launch target dates for the remainder of this year. That schedule will include Russian supply launches using the Progress resupply vehicles in addition to Shuttle logistics and assembly missions.
The first shuttle flight after the arrival of the Zvezda was approved to take place within a month after the service module's arrival. That STS-106 crew will be commanded by Terry Wilcutt with Scott Altman serving as pilot. Mission specialists include Dan Burbank, Rick Mastracchio, Ed Lu, Yuri Malenchenko, and Boris Morukov.
The International Space Station is in an orbit of 237 by 226 statute miles. Since the launch of Zarya in 1998, the ISS has completed more than 7,227 orbits. S

Millions of churches, non-profits and for-profit entities are establishing followings through social media. Marketing data show that approximately 60% of FaceBook and Twitter subscribers open or read their messages. In comparison, marketing experts have discovered mobile marketing or text messaging is the most effective way for an organization to reach its target market. These same reports reveal more than 90% of cell phone users open and read their text messages.
Traditionally, churches and the religious community has looked upon technology as either off limits or not relevant to spiritual growth. Usually by the time the Body Of Christ recognizes the importance of integrating technology, the rest of the world is miles ahead and reaping the rewards that God intended for the Church. However, thank God more churches are recognizing that all forms of media can be very effective in reaching people who would not normally attend church services. Owners of Christian satellite television and radio networks have long utilized the power of technology. Every day you can watch preachers from around the world on TBN, Day Star and the Word Channel just to name a few. Online video sharing web sites such as YouTube are widely used by preachers. You can watch videos of famous preachers such as T.D. Jakes, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland and Creflo Dollar as well as local pastors.
With the emergence of Mobile Media and Text Messaging technology, the Church can no longer hide its head in the sand. The results don't lie- more than 90% of cell phone users open or read their messages; daily! If you have doubts about the effectiveness of mobile marketing or text messages, just watch how many young people use their smart phone to read scriptures in the Sunday service.
Your church membership may consist of a more mature audience, but we as the Body of Christ must be prepared to reach and lead the next generation. The world uses every form of technology they can to keep young people out of the church. We must use it to draw them in.
To learn more about how to use Mobile Marketing or Text Messaging for your church or non-profit, you are welcome to attend a free Webinar and workshop at Saints of Value Ministry Training Center, 12110 E. Firestone Bl. Norwalk, CA. The event will take place Saturday, August 18, 2012. You will learn how to raise funds and receive donations via text messaging as well as other creative ways to promote your ministry. For more information, you can send this writer a message on my FaceBook page by clicking this link http://www.facebook.com/cliffwrightspeaks

Announcing Indiana's 10 Most Endangered
Indiana Landmarks announces the 10 Most Endangered, an annual list of Hoosier landmarks in jeopardy.
"Our mission is to save meaningful places, and this is a list of ten important places in greatest danger of being lost," says Marsh Davis, president of Indiana Landmarks, a nonprofit preservation organization. "All of these places are full of memories and meaning and revitalization potential."
The sites that achieve 10 Most Endangered status are significant and irreplaceable -- and often challenging to save. "These landmarks preserve connections to our shared heritage and restoring them can spur broader revitalization," Davis adds. Indiana Landmarks uses the Most Endangered list to bring attention to the imperiled sites and find solutions that will ensure their preservation.
Since the first 10 Most Endangered list in 1991, Indiana Landmarks counts only 12 losses among 92 historic places in severe jeopardy that have appeared on the list. The 2013 10 Most Endangered list includes seven new entries and three landmarks making repeat appearances.
New on the list:
• Anderson Athletic Park Pool, Anderson
• Bowen House in Delphi, overlooking Deer Creek
• Brookview-Irvington Park Historic District and State Boulevard, Fort Wayne
• Eagle Cotton Mill, Madison
• Flanner House Homes Historic District and Phillips Temple, Indianapolis
• Kingsbury Ordnance Plant Employment Office, Kingsbury
• Walkerton Church, Walkerton
Repeating from 2012 list:
• Harmony Way Bridge, between New Harmony and White County, Illinois
• Old Clarksville Site, Clarksville
• The Pantheon Theatre, Vincennes

The World Cup 2014 final is approaching, and that means one thing: time to deck yourself in the colors of the team you want to win. If you're looking for another way to show your support, you can tweet to vote on which flag colors are shone on the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro.
To cast your vote, you'll need to include #ArmsWideOpen and the hashtag of one of the finalists [spoiler alert: Argentina and Germany] in your tweet. Voting started today, July 9, and runs through July 12. The Archdiocese of Rio de Janeiro will light the statue from 7-9pm on Saturday. The team with the most votes will get more time, though the results will change in real-time as more fans vote.
It's not every day that your tweets have an effect on a 100-foot religious icon.

Double Hermeneutic
Lace Marie Brogden
In the field of hermeneutics—that is, interpretation, or meaning making—the double hermeneutic is used to name a concomitant production of meaning and meaning-making within the research process. The double hermeneutic is present in all case study research insomuch as it calls attention to the complexities of meaning-making present within the various disciplines of the social sciences engaged in interpretive research. The concept is used to name interactions present between the text attributable to the research focus, topic, or participant and the text the researcher brings to the inquiry. These two contexts—the context of that which is being researched (often referred to as the object of the research ) and the context of the researcher (often referred to as the subject of the research )—interact dialogically and co-inform one another within the research process. Although the term double hermeneutic is frequently attributed to sociologist Anthony Giddens, philosophical constructs upon which Dasein ...
