magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
MRI is an advanced medical imaging technique that uses a magnetic field and radio waves instead of X-ray to image different parts of the body. It is an easy, safe and comfortable exam. It provides an excellent way to diagnose diseases of the brain, spine, skeleton, chest, abdomen, pelvis and blood vessels.
The MRI exam requires you to lie very still on a table that moves into a scanner housing a large magnet. During the procedure, you may communicate with your technologist by intercom, and they will explain the various noises that you will hear. The procedure lasts 20–60 minutes, depending on the number and types of images needed. In some cases, your physician may order the administration of intravenous contrast agent to enable visualization of some specific images.
Preparing for an MRI
- If you have ever had any medical implants, please bring a device ID card or physician note about the implant.
- Eat normally. Take your usual medications unless your physician gives you other instructions.
- If you have had previous exams (CT, MRI or X-ray) performed at a non-Bon Secours facility, please bring those images with you to your appointment.
MRI is very safe. There are no known health risks associated with the magnetic field or the radio waves used by the machine. However, some special circumstances limit the use of a magnetic field, so it is important for you to tell us if any of the following apply to you:
- cardiac pacemaker or artificial heart valve
- metal plate, pin or other metallic implant
- intrauterine device, such as Copper-7 IUD
- insulin pump or other infusion pump
- aneurysm clips
- previous gunshot wound
- inner ear implant
- ever been a metal worker (had metal in eye)
- if you are pregnant
Any metallic substance, on or in you, can affect the quality of the diagnostic images. It can also cause discomfort or injury when placed in the magnetic field and may exclude you from the exam.

Great news for one of Gospel music's favorite artists. Erica Campbell has been nominated for a BET Award in the Best Gospel Artist category. The announcement was made today, May 14, by BET.
This is her first nomination as a solo artist after having won three BET Awards previously as part of the dynamic Gospel duo Mary Mary. Campbell is being recognized for her solo debut "HELP." The album was released on MyBlock Inc / eOne earlier this year and was an immediate hit. The CD, heralded as one of the best gospel albums this year, debuted at Number 1 on the Top Gospel Chart and Number 6 on the Top 200 Chart.
"HELP" was the number one gospel album for 4 weeks in a row, and has maintained the number one slot for 6 weeks total. The title track, "Help," is number 6 on the Gospel BDS chart and continues to connect with audiences across the country.
Erica Campbell is headlining the McDonald's Inspiration Gospel Tour this summer. The multi-city tour will make stops in 11 markets, including: Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Jackson, Los Angeles, Memphis, Newark, Oakland, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Raleigh. The tour hits the D.C. area May 23 at Ebenezer A.M.E. Church.
The New York Times recently said "her [Erica's] performance, as a whole was something rare - poised, emphatic, nongrandiose, self-contained, empathetic, extravagant."
In its third season on WE tv, Erica's hit show, "Mary Mary," has garnered the best ratings to date. The season finale airs tomorrow May 15 at 9 p.m. EST/CST on WE tv.
The BET Awards will air live on Sunday, June 29 at 8 p.m. EST on BET Networks from the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, CA.

----------------------- Poem ---------------------- The photograph............................................ Thru the eye of a forgiving box, I engrave framed images, As to keep from them only the most beautiful part; The one that heals the hearts. I smile to light that reveals hidden artworks or just a line. With every new gaze a new painting comes to life... Image of glory and splendor... Image of strength and emotion... Image of meekness and silence... I frame on happiness, even though I could frame on despair. I frame on innocence, even though I could frame on condemnation. I frame on open windows, as I could frame on prison doors. I frame on life rather then hell.... Yes I frame on life. I want my box to forgive. I want it to forgive as God forgave me. Yes God forgave me! In His tender mercy, He framed on me only His own image. ---------Jean-Charles

Still struggling to build wealth? What would it be like to get into the mind of a millionaire and know how they achieve success? Napolean Hill did this when he wrote his books Think and Grow Rich and The Laws of Success in 16 Lessons by observing how the successful people of his time achieved success. Today, it is even easier than ever to get into the minds of millionaires and learn their secrets to success.
In my previous article, Can You Make Money By Just Being Online, I shared how Marshall Sylver is paying people to learn his success secrets, just by listening and watching his show on MDTN.COM and sharing it with others. He covers everything from health to relationships to prosperity. He also continues to learn and shares his new discoveries online with all of his viewers. By observing what he's doing and what he's saying it is just like jumping right into the mind of a multimillionaire. Since the level of success is determined by those that we associate with, being connected to him every day is a great way to jump start personal success and wealth achievement.
Does his programming work? I noticed during these two weeks that I've been plugging in that I have taken the risk to publish my own book, The Angel That Learned to Fly . My financial streams of income are increasing from a trickle to light streams. It is definitely a triumphant beginning.
Local Tampa entrepreneur and author, JV Crum III, also shares his millionaire success wisdom in his book series, Conscious Millionaire. These tools guide and inspire towards a more conscious way of doing business. JV Crum III is now also a columnist for The Huffington Post where he continues to let others into the inner workings of his mind as he achieved business and financial success. Having implemented many of his coaching exercises from his books, I noticed the ability to visualize my dreams and goals and reach for a higher purpose in my own business.
While there are many multimillionaires willing to share their success secrets at exuberant prices (which are well worth the investment), Marshall Sylver and JV Crum III are examples of successful multimillionaires that understand importance of opening the minds of anyone eager to learn what it takes to become a success, regardless of current financial circumstances.

Although koalas are known to be lazy, they can move very quickly on trees. They can even jump from one branch to another, covering a distance of a metre (39 inches) in a leap. Female koalas give birth to a single baby in two years and, like kangaroos, they carry it in their pouch.
There are many kinds of koala species. Each species feed on a different kind of eucalyptus
leaf. If you are planning to move a koala away,
you need also to take the eucalyptus leaves
on which he feeds with you. Apart from their
diets, koalas rarely climb down eucalyptus
trees because they are hardly able to move around
on the ground. The eucalyptus tree's leaves
constitute different chemical substances.
These substances are poisonous and dangerous for all
animals except for koalas. Before swallowing, koalas
grind these leaves with their teeth. The harmful elements
in the leaves are filtered in the koala's liver and
expelled from the body. By the will of Allah, this
food, which is extremely poisonous for other animals,
does not harm koalas. Therefore, koalas can eat about
a kilogram (2.204 pounds) of poisonous leaves everyday
without trouble. Koalas even get their water from
these leaves. At certain times of the year, two thirds
of the eucalyptus leaf consists of water. Therefore,
only feeding on eucalyptus leaves, a koala can survive
for months without drinking water. The tops of eucalyptus
trees are vulnerable to wind. For this reason, koalas
have very thick fur.
This harmony between a poisonous plant and an animal
shows us that koalas and eucalyptus tree have been
created by the same Creator. This Creator, Who creates
everything perfectly, is surely Allah, the Lord of
all the worlds. Thanks to the article www.harunyahya.com

Wayne Rooney will be hoping to find the net against Olympiakos after a great goal Saturday
Some may consider Manchester United's current season a Greek tragedy, with David Moyes' men way off the pace in the Premier League. The Champions League is generally a nice distraction, especially considering the opposition facing domestic rivals in the competition. Wayne Rooney scored his first goal since the 3-2 victory over Hull City and will be looking to link up again with Robin van Persie as United aim to do one better than last season and get into the quarter finals.
United have met Olympiakos four times in their history, with the most recent coming back in October 2002, when Juan Sebastian Veron scored a superb goal in a 3-2 victory. United have won all four matches scoring twelve goals to the Greek's two. The away side are missing Nani (hamstring), Phil Jones (hip) and Jonny Evans (calf) who have remained in Manchester due to injury, whilst Juan Mata is cup tied.

How American fundamentalist schools are using Nessie to disprove evolution
IT sounds like a plot dreamed up by the creators of Southpark, but it's all true: schoolchildren in Louisiana are to be taught that the Loch Ness monster is real in a bid by religious educators to disprove Darwin's theory of evolution."
"Thousands of children in the southern state will receive publicly-funded vouchers for the next school year to attend private schools where Scotland's most famous mythological beast will be taught as a real living creature.
These private schools follow a fundamentalist curriculum including the Accelerated Christian Education (ACE) programme to teach controversial religious beliefs aimed at disproving evolution and proving creationism.
One tenet has it that if it can be proved that dinosaurs walked the earth at the same time as man then Darwinism is fatally flawed.
Critics have damned the content of the course books, calling them "bizarre" and accusing them of promoting radical religious and political ideologies.
The textbooks in the series are alleged to teach young earth creationism; are hostile towards other religions and other sectors of Christianity, including Roman Catholicism; and present a biased version of history that is often factually incorrect.
One ACE textbook – Biology 1099, Accelerated Christian Education Inc – reads: "Are dinosaurs alive today? Scientists are becoming more convinced of their existence. Have you heard of the 'Loch Ness Monster' in Scotland? 'Nessie' for short has been recorded on sonar from a small submarine, described by eyewitnesses, and photographed by others. Nessie appears to be a plesiosaur."
Another claim taught is that a Japanese whaling boat once caught a dinosaur. It's unclear if the movie Godzilla was the inspiration for this lesson.

Our proposal for the UK Pavilion for the Shanghai Expo 2010 challenges the way we perceive our cities. This came from our observation that there is a misled preconception of an idealised differentiation between our urban and rural environment and of how our modern life is overwhelmed by speed and our image obsessed culture. We believe this distinction is in fact ambiguous and focus instead in our common sensual experience of space.
Building on the slogan 'Better City, Better Life', the pavilion reintegrates an emotional sensibility in how we read our cities through the layering of narratives and its tectonic structure.
This report documents the process and thoughts that lead to the final proposal for Group 12's Expo Pavilion.

I have few clients who been looking at houses for a long period and never able to really make a decision on it. They give some or other excuses even if they find a house exactly what they are looking. I think about them and thought should give up on them but I never and continue to show them houses. Because I hope one day they will get over their fear and remorse effect and make a decision and I want to be there with them to show they can also do it. Meanwhile I work with them periodically to make them think about what they are going through and it's not unusual. If you are one of those buyers, do read on below.
5 Buyer's Fears
Fear of change. This is one of the most serious issues that a buyers will ever deal with, and it can have a crippling effect for some people. This explains why so many people don't move forward at all, rather than deal with their discomfort.
Fear of commitment. There is no such thing as an independent financial decision. Every financial decision we make affects every other financial decision we make, and buyers know this at some intrinsic level. Once the decision is made, it rules out all other choices — and remorse is an immediate sign that the comfort level is not as strong as it needs to be.
Fear of a bad choice. There are so many decisions out there. Buy or rent? Cash or mortgage? New or existing? Neighborhood A or neighborhood B (or C or Y or Z)? Three bedrooms or four? Or five? I could go on. The sheer volume of choices makes for a difficult night's sleep, with plenty of time in the dark to reconsider each decision.
Fear of being taken advantage of. No one wants to look the fool. No one wants to find out later that the smooth-talking salesperson who coaxed a buyer into a compromise was actually a shyster. They trust you now, but will you still be there for them down the road?
Fear of the unknown. This might be the most disturbing and distressing concern of all. The issue is not whether the buyers have all the right answers. The real concern is that they don't even know the right questions. So much of the purchase decision is a great mystery. Within this understandable ignorance lies a great deal of apprehension and, left unattended, these fears can lead to a cancellation.
What can you do about it?
If you feel this fears when you are trying to buy or looking for a house, don't feel bad. It is common and normal to many individual. We are human and humans are emotional creatures making emotional decisions, we must also understand that emotions can be fleeting. As soon as the transaction takes place the emotions start to wane and we are left with our fears. But don't worry, work with a trusted Realtor who can help you explain every thing and every step of the way of the transaction to get rid of the fear factor.
The decision to purchase a home is one of the most important choices you will make in your lifetime — of course there will be second-guessing. Evaluate your decision by taking input from Realtor. The evaluation time allows you the opportunity to further cement into the logical side of our brains the conviction that you have made a good choice. You have always have option period on home transactions if anything bad found in the house and you can safely withdraw out of the contract. Unnecessary Risk can be avoided and you don't have to be worried about buying a home which you don't feel like perfect fit.
In conclusion, it's ok to feel uncomfortable and remorse while buying a home because it's a big decision and lot of your hard money involved. It is expected otherwise you are not human. Because of that, don't back out. Work with trusted Realtor who can help you make a smart educated decision to make you feel you are making the right decision and not taken for a ride.

This is the last time I was on the stage. More than four years, 20 pounds and two kids ago. This Sunday I will set foot on the boards for the first time since then, and I am terrified. Being on stage used to be like breathing. Stage fright? Not I, said the fly. But this is new, different, and scary.
On Sunday I'll stand with 13 other women (including Elena, who rocks) on a bare stage, protected by a podium, exposed by a microphone and I will share my story of motherhood right along with them. Some sad, some hilarious, many tales of strength we never knew we had. Have I mentioned I am terrified?
What if I mess up? What if I panic? What if I have to pee?
Whatever happens it will be okay. I have sat in a living room with these women and listened to them tell their stories and I was profoundly moved. In a living room without a mic, without an audience. Women's voices are so powerful, especially when we raise them together and so I know Listen To Your Mother will be a success. But still, I am terrified.

Currently I have my home on an 1TB disk, which is an WD Green, thus not the most quick one. I have an 2TB WD Green disk I want to use as well, and in a LVM fashion (Have heard that striped LVM could increase the perfomance).
Sadly the current /home partition isn't an handled by lvm, but a plain partition. I wonder if there are some optimal ways to convert the whole system without having to resort to an third disk as temporary storage.
i.e. I want to do 1x1TB plain partition → 1TB+2TB LVM striped while retaining all data.

Wow. That is quite a bush. Have you ever shaved it before?

"I love taking long, hot, bubble baths, especially after my guy and I have been having sex," said Sam. "So, posing in the tub was a no-brainer when we got around to taking these photos for NN. I usually like to be up to my chin in bubbles, but obviously, all you horny guys wouldn't be able to see anything, so we kept the water level real low for you. I'm a real camera-hog--so my guy says: I have hundreds of photos that I'm in, taken in all sorts of locations, doing all sorts of things and with tons of different people.

McKinney is believed to be the first player in school history to be named a freshman All-American and is the first State linebacker since Jamon Hughes in 2006 to be named by the SEC head coaches to the All-SEC Freshman team.
McKinney played in all 12 regular-season games in his first campaign with the Maroon and White, starting the last nine contests. The Tunica, Miss., native finished fourth in the nation among freshman and seventh overall in the SEC with 97 tackles, while also tallying 4.5 tackles for loss, a sack, four pass breakups and a fumble recovery.
The 6-foot-5, 235-pound linebacker's most memorable performance came in the SEC road win at Kentucky Oct. 6, when he posted 12 tackles (10 solo), 1.0 tackles for loss and two pass breakups. For his efforts, McKinney was named Co-SEC Freshman of the Week, becoming the first MSU player since LaDarius Perkins in November 2010 to pick up the weekly accolade.
For more information on McKinney and his appearance in the 2013 TaxSlayer.com Gator Bowl, follow the team on Twitter at @MStateFB and like the team on Facebook at Facebook.com/MstateFB.

Looking for a couple mods for kotor 1
none of them are overly complicated I don't think, but I could be wrong about that :P
the mods I have right now are
the Helena clothing fix mod
Clothing plus mod (at stats to clothes)
there are a few I am looking for but can't find
1. I'm looking for a mod that allows me to have a fully hooded/masked set of starforge robes, but I don't want to get them until the starforge.
2. I'm looking for a mod that ups the feats/skills so I get more per level, and let's me choose ALL my feta at the beginning of the game instead of having them set in stone
3. A mod that has a lightsaber that turn any crystal put into it into a long saber, preferably gained on star forge
1. http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filef...ns_Robes;64116
2. http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filef...om/file/;69389
3. http://knightsoftheoldrepublic.filef...gsabers;105785
All those mods should do something for you. ;)
Also, the longsaber mod I recommended was made by me. There is another mod like it (which I must honestly say I prefer), by ChAiNz.2da, which can be found here:
The only reason I recommended my mod over that one is that mine uses the TSL Patcher for easy installation. If you prefer ChAiNz's mod however, there are instructions with it on how to install it manually.
If you find you are unable to do that however, let me know and i'll put together a TSL Patcher installer for you. :)
Oh, and if you DO go with ChAiNz's mod, you'll need the fix too:
1. That only covers darkside robes, I'm looking for a hooded version of the Star forge robes, the white one.
2. That just changes armor restriction and lightsaber damage...which I'm not looking for
3. The long saber one would work....but I was kinda hoping for a generic handle
4. Still looking for the stat adjustment mod
thanks for your help :)
If you add the Brotherhood of Shadow mod, You will get the star forge robes and full mask, According to what path you take!!
The super enhanced mod does a LOT more than what you said, though I do apologise, I sent a link to the wrong mod there, maybe this would be more to your liking:
As for the longsabers, currently the only mods with longsabers that I know of use that Malak style hilt. I could whip one up for you some time this week that uses the default hilt if you want, however. :)
wow that would be awesome.
thanks for the links,
my goal is to make him as close to how bioware describes as I can.
is there anyway to get just the starforge edit without the whole othermod?
and now I just need to find a skills mod :)
thanks for help everyone
I tell you what, give me a few days and i'll put together a little mod pack for you which includes the sabers you want and the robe edit.
Anything specific you'd like in the item descriptions or will the default descriptions do?
wow..that's be brilliant thanks
no the default is fine

Coconut Endosperm
Coconut Endosperm
Coconut Endosperm is coconut water, the liquid endosperm of green coconuts (Cocos nucifera). It has been freeze dried to a free-flowing powder form using a patented lyophilization process which produces a stable composition retaining the inherent biological activity of its nutrients and growth factors.
Coconut Endosperm is not to be confused with coconut milk, the latter being harvested from the flesh of fully developed coconuts. Coconut Endosperm is the liquid reservoir of nutrients that nourishes the young coconut for a year of more of its life, delivering vital nutrients for sustained development of the solid endosperm (coconut meat) found inside the fruit. Rich in proteins, amino acids, sugars, vitamins, minerals and growth factors, it plays a pivotal role in supporting tissue growth.
RNA plays an important role in amino acid transport and respiratory metabolism in living cells. RNA-phosphorus (RNA-P) content is found to particularly high in young, green coconuts and Coconut Endosperm is harvested at an optimal stage of maturity to ensure a high content of RNA and growth factors, including shikimic acid, quinic acid and indole-3-acetic acid.
Since coconut water solids can support cell growth, coconut water may be used in products to support the growth of human tissues such as hair follicles, as validated in preclinical trials. Coconut water can therefore be used in revitalizing preparations for the care of skin, hair and nails. 100 g of Coconut Endosperm provides 324 mg of Calcium, 3050 mg of potassium, 206 mg of Magnesium, 4.3 mg of iron, 6.4 mg of vitamin C, and about 4.6 g of protein, in addition to natural sugars and fatty acids.
Coconut Endosperm easily disperses in water, blending seamlessly with cosmetic formulations, making it a versatile nutrient pool for use in topical formulations. Given its GRAS status, Coconut Endosperm can be used in lip care products to support hydration and tissue health.

Immediate Release**
Lady Aggies Dump Lincoln, 64-45
by Scott Puryear of Aggie Sports on 01-19-06
Goodwell, OK - The Lady Aggies of Oklahoma Panhandle State
maneuvered their way right back into Heartland Conference contention
with a big 64-45 victory over Lincoln on Wednesday night in
Jefferson City, Missouri. OPSU had control for most of the
game and a 31-25 advantage at halftime.
With the victory, the Lady Aggies raised their season record
to 7-10, but more importantly, evened their conference mark
at 2-2. They look to improve their posture within the league
as they head back to Goodwell to play four consecutive conference
games at home.
Lady Aggie head coach Jerry Olson was
pleased with his team's
overall performance and exceptionally so with the defense.
Olson also cited Bridgett Boykin and Laura Wilson for their
strong contributions coming off the bench.
Brandi Lewis led the way for OPSU with 17 points and the dependable
Nina Kuleff added a dozen. Boykin and Taneisha Rogers each
added ten to the Lady Aggie cause. Wilson and the sure-handed
Sarah Furgeson each had five assists.
As Olson mentioned, it was the OPSU defense that did the job,
holding Lincoln to 29% shooting (to their 41%). Michelle Kennedy,
April Gahagan and Kuleff shared Lady Aggie rebounding honors
with seven each.
The Lady Aggies will play four home games in eight days beginning
this Friday with Western New Mexico. Tip-off is set for 6:00
PM in Oscar Williams Fieldhouse on the OPSU campus.

No. 33 Ducks Fall to Rice Owls
Courtesy: GoDucks.com
Release Date: 03/16/2013
"Obviously, it is very disappointing not getting the W especially after winning the doubles point," said head coach Nils Schyllander. "We need to understand that playing in elements such as the sun and wind takes extra effort, and in some spots we let those elements get to us."
Oregon managed to win the doubles point for the 15th consecutive time this season as top duo of Jeff Mullen and Robin Cambier defeated Tommy Bennett and Adam Gustafsson 8-4, and Aaron Clissold and Daniel Sardu topped Peter Frank and Philipp Seifert 8-5 on Court 2. Mullen and Cambier are now 11-1 in doubles play on the season, while Clissold and Sardu remain undefeated at 9-0. Alex Rovello and Daan Maasland dropped their first match of the season to Jonathan Chang and Leif Berger 5-8, bringing their season total to 11-1. The Ducks are 38-4 overall in doubles matches this season.
In singles, the Owls won four matches to officially record the 4-1 victory before the Ducks could win a singles match. Mullen was defeated by Chang 6-4, 7-5 in the top spot, while Rovello fell 6-1, 6-1 to Gustafsson on Court 2. Maasland lost only his second match of the season as he fell to Seifert 6-2, 6-2 in the No. 4 spot. Lova Randriamampandry dropped his match to Frank 6-3, 6-1 on Court 5. Cambier was leading Bennett 6-1, 6-5 on Court 3, but the match was called due to Rice sealing the victory. Sardu was also ahead before the match was called, leading Gonzalez 7-6, 4-1. UO is now 64-22 overall in singles matches this season.
"Now we just need to regroup, take care of finals and get ready for the Pac-12 season," added Schyllander.
The Ducks return to action on Friday, March 29th as they travel to Salt Lake City to face the Utah Utes. The match is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m. UO will finish the road trip in Tucson, Ariz. as it takes on Arizona on Sunday, March 31st. The match is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m.

Given a biased coin with probability P of flipping to head position, how can I compute N, the average number of tosses for reaching a head?
I also need a formula for the reverse problem, computing P as a function of N (if I know the average number of tosses, how can I find the bias).
Edit: This can apparently be rephrased as computing the average number of Bernoulli trials with probability P to get a success. The result is N = 1/p according to this article.

Why does Maestro enantiomerize my structures when I rotate?
Maestro does not actually enantiomerize your structures. This is simply an optical illusion that can occur with the Wire molecular representation because it is sometimes difficult to determine which bonds are "in front" and which bonds are "behind." If in doubt, select a molecular representation, such as tube, that more clearly represents 3D character. You can also turn on perspective to give better 3D cues.

Water and Climate Change in Mexico 2007-2012
This report has been produced at the request of the Conagua, in the framework of its collaboration with the WMO through the Project to Strengthen Integrated Water Resources Management in Mexico (PREMIA). Colin A. Herron, the author of this document, is an independent consultant, a linguist by trade and a water expert by osmosis. He is available for any comments on email@example.com.
Content Table
- Water and Climate Change in Mexico 2007-2012
This document was commissioned by the Conagua due to the growing need to systematize the different actions carried out by the water community in Mexico to face the impacts of climate change. In the majority of cases, these actions have arisen spontaneously in recent years given the needs of each organization and administrative area of the Conagua to incorporate new practices, considerations and modalities in order to carry out as efficiently as possible their daily tasks, faced with the significant uncertainty represented by current climate conditions, and the even greater uncertainty in the future. It is important to highlight that the water community is initiating a collective learning process in this field, although water resources management, by definition, has always been about dealing with changing climate conditions – only not at the same scale.
As a result of this interest from the Conagua, a consultancy was undertaken by the author of this document between October and December 2012, in the framework of the Project to Strengthen Integrated Water Resources Management in Mexico (PREMIA), a joint project between the WMO and the Conagua, described in action 2.3. This consultancy resulted in a catalogue of water and climate change actions in Mexico in the period 2007-2012, as well as this document, which aims to analyze the catalogue as well as selected actions from it, so as to be able to highlight some current trends, challenges and areas of opportunity in the future.
The initial effort to systematize the water and climate change actions from the 2007-2012 period in the catalogue reaped 118 actions; 81 from the Conagua, both centrally and its regional offices, and 37 from other organizations. It should be mentioned that without any doubt this number is only a small sample of what was actually implemented in Mexico on this issue in the aforementioned period, by both governmental and non-governmental organizations, as well as from both water organizations and those from other related disciplines. However, this sample is believed to be relatively representative of the bigger picture, thus allowing an overview of what has been achieved in the period to be drawn up.
The actions in the catalogue were classified and analyzed from two main perspectives: firstly, their substantive focus, including adaptation for various purposes and mitigation, or in other words the "what" of the action. In this sense, the same nine categories were used as in the Inventory of Water and Adaptation Actions in the Americas (www.aguaaaa.org); and secondly, through five crosscutting factors or approaches, which were the challenges that the actions sought to overcome through their implementation (or the "how"). In both cases, it should be mentioned that one action may consider various focuses and factors in parallel.
The results of the analysis of the substantive focuses of the 118 actions in the catalogue may be found in illustration 2. It should be highlighted that 47 out of the 118 actions (39.8%) were an attempt to solve environmental problems and 44 actions (37.3%) deal with the question of basic services. Additionally, a large share of these actions deal with issues of either the excess of water (floods) or its scarcity (drought), with 42 actions (35.6%) each, confirming up to a certain degree that necessity is the mother of invention, given the conditions that the country has experienced in this period. Finally, relatively few actions were an attempt to tackle urban or rural issues, and even fewer attempted to tackle mitigation, sea-level rise or other issues.
To define the five crosscutting factors, some thought was put behind the question "what needs to be adapted to face the impacts of climate change on water resources?" The response, like the problem, is complex, containing multiple interwoven and interdependent elements:
- Water management institutions will have to be updated, since they were mainly designed to deal with a more stationary set of issues, in social, economic and environmental conditions from another time;
- The water community's planning and cooperation practices and processes will have to be adjusted to take into account the new demands imposed by the changing climate, as part of a more holistic vision of the role of water in sustainable development processes;
- The technical knowledge base on the impacts of climate change on water will have to be enhanced in order to be able to foresee and interpret more precisely the impacts of climate change on the components of the water cycle in the future, as well as outlining the actions to be carried out to cope with these changes;
- The water community's financial arrangements will have to be diversified in order to allow greater flexibility when facing the onset of unexpected occurrences, and so as to be able to relieve the current dependency on funds from the federal government; and
- Better use will have to be made of existing science as well as investing in the research and development of new technologies to prepare a response that is more adapted to the problem at hand.
The definition of these five inter-related factors was used to classify the actions in the catalogue, as well as serving to define the chapters in this document. It should be highlighted that the majority of the actions in the catalogue (89 actions or 75.4%) sought to improve planning and cooperation efforts; 68 actions (57.6%) aimed to enhance the knowledge base; 59 actions (50.0%) constituted attempts to make better use of appropriate science and technology; and relatively few actions (28 and 27 actions, or 23.7% and 22.9% respectively) set out to foster institutional/regulatory strengthening and/or innovative financial schemes/arrangements.
Subsequently, it was considered relevant to cross the information between the aforementioned focuses and factors. This crossover of classifications allows a robust matrix to be established in order to quantify the actions in the catalogue, which reveals in some way a prioritization of the water and climate change actions carried out over the last six years. This crossover reveals that the most common "cells" are adaptation for floods aiming to improve planning and cooperation efforts and to enhance the knowledge base, measuring and monitoring, as well as adaptation to solve environmental problems through planning and cooperation efforts. On the other hand, there are very few actions on the issue of institutional and regulatory strengthening for mitigation of GHG emissions, for example.
Another possible means of analysis is whether the actions are an explicit effort to solve climate change-related issues, which would not therefore have been carried out without the incidence of this global phenomenon, or on the other hand are what we might identify as actions that would have been implemented with or without climate change, or "business as usual". After analyzing the catalogue, it is estimated that 18 out of the 118 actions, or 15.3%, were explicitly designed to face the problem of climate change, the others being more traditional actions in which, in some cases, some aspects of climate change have been incorporated, or which it is considered that even without including additional climate variables, contribute mainly to the issue of adaptation.
The production of this document was based on the analysis of the catalogue. In order to exemplify in greater detail what courses of action can be taken to fulfill each of the five factors, four actions were extracted from the catalogue, resulting in the twenty actions presented in this document. It is important to clarify that these actions are not necessarily "better" than the other actions in the catalogue, but put together they do constitute a wide range of examples that show in fairly representative fashion the path that the water community has taken in recent years. There are many other interesting actions that could have been included, some of which are briefly mentioned in the introduction to each chapter, but for the purpose of keeping the document relatively concise, only these illustrative examples were used. All the actions can be consulted in detail, in Spanish only, in the catalogue on http://www.d4wcc.org.mx/images/documentos/Catalogo/catalogo.pdf.
Finally, it is interesting to reflect upon the fact that many of the actions presented in this document exemplify at the same time several of the factors and focuses, and therefore could have been included in several chapters. For example, the Modernization of the National Meteorological Service was selected to exemplify its innovative financial aspects, although it also fulfills the characteristics of the other four factors. Perhaps one conclusion that could be drawn from this consideration is that actions that aim to overcome several challenges, in some cases, might have a greater impact. The categorization used for the purpose of this document should therefore be considered as a flexible framework that allows some general trends to be brought forth, rather than a straightjacket.

Want to see what a liar in Chief looks like? Take a look at obama's web site " Life Of Julia" a factitious woman who lives her whole life from cradle to grave on government dependence…
I'm going to put some comments from an article made by Tara Dodrill, she says it best…
The cradle-to–grave progression of the "Julia's" life promises a near-utopian existence if America grants Obama a second term.
A recurring theme focused on the joys and benefits of government dependency is repugnant to fiscally conservative voters. In President Obama's fantasy world, there is no mention of how all of "Julia's" basic needs will be funded.
, "Julia" and the voters Obama's ad are designed to entice have no desire to become personally responsible for their own lives. Imaginary women are the only ones that would be helped by more failed Obama policies. An existence in which food, housing, medical care, college and utilities are all free sounds very much like a Marxist fairytale.
As "Life of Julia" website visitors click through the years of her life, there is no mention of her holding an actual job until she is 27 years old. When "Julia" turns 31, she decides to have a child and gloriously reaps all the benefits of Obamacare. The page prominently notes the "free" screenings bestowed upon her by her ultra-liberal hero in the White House. Unless doctors agree to work without a paycheck in Obama's utopia, the taxpayers are once again forced to fund the needs of others.
"Julia" and her eventual grandchildren would suffer tragically under Obama's initiatives. When "Julia" enters her golden years, Obama promises a fully-funded Social Security program and a robust Medicare allotment, according to the website. At age 67 "Julia" can retire so comfortably she has time to volunteer at her community garden. Informed women who are truly concerned about retirement and medical care will vote for Mitt Romney. Under Obama's supervision, both the Social Security and Medicare funds will be broke long before "Julia's" hair turns gray.
Surely all liberals are not so naive or economically illiterate to actually believe President Obama's free lunch mode of governance. Disproving the "Life of Julia" make-believe saga requires only the ability to understand simple math. Liberals are locked in a covert battle with women, creeping out from behind the bushes and snatching away their very sense of independence.
In Obama's ideal world, men are replaced by bureaucrats.
In this Fictitious "War on Women" obama has conjured up, people need to look at the facts
women go to sleep wondering if they can pay the mortgage, if they can afford to put food on the table, and if their children will have a job after graduating from college. Nearly a million more women are out of work under President Obama while female poverty is at its highest level in nearly two decades. By all accounts, President Obama's policies have failed women, like all Americans, and they deserve a president who will focus on getting America back on track." amanda henneberg
In a column amusingly titled "Who the Hell Is 'Julia' and Why Am I Paying for Her Whole Life?" David Harsanyi raises an obvious objection to the story: "What we are left with is a celebration of a how a woman can live her entire life by leaning on government intervention, dependency and other people's money rather than her own initiative or hard work. It is, I'd say, implicitly un-American, in the sense that it celebrates a mindset we have–outwardly, at least–shunned."
Obama is setting forward a vision contrary to the American tradition of self-sufficiency–a welfare state that runs from cradle to grave. And it's a dishonest vision, because it presents all of these benefits as "free," never acknowledging that they are paid for through coercive taxation.
If people buy this lie, they are already living in a factitious world…angel

AN AA dip check of a handful of petrol stations found some pumps giving up to 4.4% more fuel than shown on the pump – effectively a 6p-a-litre gift to drivers.
However, high pump prices have fuelled driver's rip-off suspicions and led to complaints to Trading Standards across the country.
Meanwhile, problems with a European Union move to harmonise fuel measuring on forecourts mean that some pumps have been supplying more fuel than the counter indicates.
Last November, a major supermarket announced that stemming a £500,000-a-year loss from over-dispensed fuel was being hindered by difficulties in meeting new regulations.
Trading Standards have this year tested fuel pumps across the country in response to driver complaints, but a rule requiring a pump to be reset even if it dispenses significantly more fuel than shown on the display means that some motorists' moans have backfired.
Trading Standards officers have reported discrepancies at four of 38 sites inCumbriaand 11 of 216 nozzles inDerby. InNewport, just two of 353 nozzles failed – one of them giving more fuel than indicated. InNorth Lanarkshire, petrol station operators called in Trading Standards last month to help reassure customers that they were getting their money's worth from the pumps.
A European Union ruling that will eventually force retailers to upgrade forecourt equipment to meet the new Measuring Instruments Directive, coming into force by the end of October 2016, has created an incompatibility problem for forecourts with a mix of ageing and newer pumps, says the AA.
In November, retailers complained of having to put up with older pumps over-dispensing fuel until they could be replaced completely. Meanwhile, with drivers ever-wary of being ripped off at the pump, the chance of a visit from Trading Standards grows.
Following concern from members, the AA carried out preliminary tests at a handful of fuel stations to see if there were grounds for a more comprehensive survey. Not only did all the pumps dispense at least the right amount, but most gave even more
AA president Edmund King said: 'Following concern from members, the AA carried out preliminary tests at a handful of fuel stations to see if there were grounds for a more comprehensive survey. Not only did all the pumps dispense at least the right amount, but most gave even more.
'Some drivers have been benefitting from a lucky dip at the pumps, getting more fuel than they pay for.
'However, crippling pump prices have produced desperation among poorer drivers, particularly those trying to get by on £10, £20 or £30 weekly fuel spends that their family budgets can barely afford. Petrol this week averaged 134.17p a litre – two years ago, it was 116.6p. Inevitably, some motorists are watching their gauges like hawks and complaining to Trading Standards.
'Trading Standards warn that some drivers compare the fuel volume showing at the pump with what they can read off their in-car instruments, although the latter are designed purely as a guide. Consequently, there is an irony that some drivers who complain may be acting against their own interests.'

Son suffers brain injury in hit-and-run, family fights for tougher laws
Posted on Tuesday, April 26th, 2011 at 4:14 pm
A Denver family is focusing on changing laws in the area so that people who flee the scene of an accident will face prison time.
The family is pushing this after a hit-and-run accident left their youngest brother with a serious brain injury and the driver was only sentenced to probation. The driver did not receive incarceration because he was allegedly unable to care for himself.
The accident occurred in October as the driver struck the victim and his friend while they were crossing a crosswalk in a neighborhood park. The 21-year-old driver had no previous criminal record and was sentenced to four years probation, six months work-release jail program and 300 hours of community service.
Our thoughts are with the family of the injured man.

Chuck Todd of NBC News created a controversy in the media yesterday when he stated on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program that false Republican talking points about the Affordable Care Act a/k/a "Obamacare" were "more importantly, ... stuff that the Republicans have successfully messaged." Todd went on to say that it's not the fault of "folks in the media" like Todd if Republicans get away with telling falsehoods about Obamacare, but rather, "it's the President of the United States' fault for not selling it."
The backlash against Chuck Todd's remarks was immediate. On Twitter, users created the popular hashtag #chucktoddexcuses and posted messages such as "if people like me called out politicians on lies, we wouldn't have had all that fun in Iraq." Likewise, a number of websites and publications took on Todd, accusing him of washing his hands of basic journalism. Politicsusa.com wrote:
Todd's logic falls apart, because he is missing the point of what people are trying to tell him. People aren't saying to the mainstream media that they want them to support Democrats. The message is that the media should be interested first and only in facts. People get frustrated with the media, because they give lies the same weight as facts.
Indeed, in 2009, Politifcact.com gave its Lie of the Year award to Sarah Palin's statement that, under Obamacare, the federal government would set up "death panels" that would determine whether seniors and disabled Americans were worthy of continued care.
At the Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting ("FAIR") website, the writers stated today that:
It's sad that NBC's White House correspondent thinks his job is merely to convey politicians' pronouncements, with no care about whether they are true or false. In fact, scrutinizing claims, particularly those from powerful officials, is an essential part of journalism.
At the Crooks and Liars political website today, Senior Editor Nicole Belle went a step further, penning an open letter to NBC News President Deborah Turness. In her post, Belle wrote:
You have clearly failed [Chuck Todd] (and the consumers of NBC News) by not providing him with a clear and unambiguous job description. It's not hard. A journalist informs his/her readers of facts. When non-facts are provided for partisan purposes, it is not "doing the job of the White House to sell" a government program to say that these are LIES. That's reporting. That's journalism. Someone who just repeats what's said to him without placing it in context is called a stenographer.

Southland Park's World-Class Racing
Southland Park Gaming and Racing opened its doors for the first time in 1956. For many years, the greyhounds raced only seasonally from approximately April until October. As the popularity of the live greyhound races grew, especially during the late 1980's, the live greyhound racing season was extended to year-around racing; made possible when the racing surface was fitted with an underground heating system. Southland Park still holds some of the industry's all time attendance and wagering records. On September 24, 1981, nearly 21,000 people were in attendance, wagering over $1.3 million on that evening's racing performance. Other interesting Southland Park facts include:
* Southland Park has one of the largest kennel compounds in the nation. It's twenty-five buildings can hold up to 1,950 greyhounds at any given time.
* Southland Park is the only racetrack in the nation that conducts nine-dog racing as part of it's live racing programs.
* Southland Park conducts an average of 6,000 races over the course of a year. We also offer simulcast wagering seven days a week, year-around (except on Christmas and Easter).
* Southland Park, opened in 1956, is one of the oldest operating greyhound tracks in the nation. Derby Lane (in St. Petersburg, FL) is the oldest, opening in 1925.
* Southland Park has been home to many greyhound All-American selections over the years. Most recently, Flupascrackerbox (who holds records for most wins all time at Southland and various win streak records) and CT Buck Wild (won back to back Southland Derby's in 2009-2010) were the latest selections.

Maker of world's lightest cellphone sets up branch in Korea
A new cellphone maker has recently established a branch in Korea, and they are set to focus on further R&D and global expansion. This cellphone maker is Modu, an Israeli mobile phone company responsible for making the lightest cellphone in the world.
Modu phones are small devices that aren't full-blown phones in themselves, but sort of like little spawns that need a special "Modu Jacket" where all its other features are fitted into. The jackets make the Modu's phones much bigger than they normally are, but enables them to work just like any other mobile phone.
Carriers in Israel, Russia and Italy are reportedly going to roll out products later this year in cooperation with Modu. Unfortunately, only GPRS-enabled handsets have been completed by Modu as of this time's writing, and the HSDPA versions are expected to come by May 2009 – exactly one year in the future from now.
That should be about the same time Samsung rolls out its own mini-projector equipped mobile phones, and of course, there will also be a lot of other new models to be introduced by manufacturers by that time. Modu's up for a lot of competition, then.

Five years ago Monday, 11 men died on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig—despite Manning's effort to save their lives. Let me explain.
By Nick Anderson
The Federal Aviation Administration has given BP energy corporation permission to use drones in Alaska, marking the first time the government agency has allowed commercial drones to fly over American land.
Four years ago this Sunday, the Deepwater Horizon blowout incinerated 11 men and poisoned 600 miles of Gulf coastline. What political fairy dust allows BP to remain virtually immune from the consequences?
It was Good Friday, 50 years ago on March 27, 1964, when an earthquake-spurred tsunami wiped out the Chugach village in Chenega, Alaska. Twenty-five years later, as villagers celebrated the rebuilding of their home, a wave of oil from the Exxon Valdez began to move their way.
Two decades ago I was the investigator for the legal team that sold you the bullshit on the crackup of the Exxon Valdez. Now, on the 25th anniversary of that disaster, and four years after the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe, the Obama administration has authorized BP to resume drilling in the Gulf of Mexico—and it's all set to happen again.

We have a word for the conscious slaughter of a racial or ethnic group, and one for the conscious destruction of aspects of the environment. But we don't have one for the conscious act of destroying the planet we live on. "Terracide," from the Latin word for earth, has the right ring, given its similarity to the commonplace danger word of our era: terrorist.

When the Obama administration temporarily banned BP from federal contracts Wednesday, it pointed to BP's "lack of business integrity" and conduct relating to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion and spill. The sanction, however, has been years in the making.
BP's record settlement of $4.5 billion for damages caused by the explosion and spill of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig in 2010 is the largest criminal fine in U.S. history, but at a fifth of the company's 2011 profits, to be paid over a span of five years, it amounts to a "pathetic" slap on the wrist, says Public Citizen's Tyler Slocum.

The Justice Department just entered into the largest criminal settlement in U.S. history with BP. The oil giant pleaded guilty to 14 criminal counts, including manslaughter, and agreed to pay $4 billion over the next five years. This is loony.

Halliburton just seems to pop up wherever trouble can be found, such as the Bush White House (through Dick Cheney's chummy history with the company) and also in the ecopocalypse that was the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in April 2010.

One might think that after the ecological apocalypse that British Petroleum visited upon the Gulf of Mexico and surrounding environs with the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in April 2010, BP might harbor a healthy sense of shame about returning to that scarred region. Yeah, no.
"The 2010 Gulf of Mexico blowout brought more than oil to the surface," writes Carl Safina in his new book investigating the impact of the BP Deepwater Horizon blowout.
Wikimedia Commons / World Economic Forum
The BBC gets the ball rolling in this article about four big companies' sub-stellar performance in 2010, and it should come as no surprise that BP figures in among that unfortunate set. But, dear readers, this list is focused on the UK and Asia—can you think of more from this side of the globe?
A government commission looking into last spring's eco-pocalypse in the Gulf of Mexico has detected a certain "culture of complacency" afoot at the trio of big companies implicated in the spill. Sounds about right.
Pat Bagley, Cagle Cartoons, Salt Lake Tribune
His tenure as BP's chief executive is almost up, and outgoing CEO Tony Hayward has changed his tune about the effect that last spring's cataclysmic oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico had on him personally, making public statements on Wednesday that sounded ... (continued)
AP / Charles Dharapak
That whole Gulf of Mexico oil spill thing? It wasn't just BP's fault—or so says BP. The oily megacorp released an internal report Wednesday that pointed to "multiple companies and work teams" that also, in BP's humble estimation, shoulder some of the blame for the disaster.

Just when we all had heard quite enough about man-made problems in the Gulf of Mexico, here comes another: On Thursday, an explosion occurred on an offshore platform called the Vermilion 380, but this time natural gas is the rig's target resource.

By this point, many American news consumers are way more up on the intricacies of oil well technology, and the emergency repair strategies associated with same, than they ever thought they'd be—and the fun isn't over yet.
Will $32.2 billion be enough to foot the bill for the tremendous mess the BP oil spill has made of the Gulf of Mexico? The higher-ups at the oil company seem to think so—at least for now. (continued)
It's kind of amazing that BP's beleaguered CEO, Tony Hayward, is still in play at this point, but he may not last much longer, as the oil company's board members were slated to debate his fate Monday evening.

Let's not get too excited here, but word on the street—fine, word in several major news outlets on Tuesday—has it that BP was about to try out yet another cap designed to maybe, possibly contain the oil hemorrhaging into the Gulf of Mexico. But this is only a test.
AP / Gregory Bull
After an earlier attempt at enforcing a moratorium on offshore oil drilling was struck down, the federal government released a revised version Monday. Given, you know, the whole Gulf of Mexico object lesson, finding a way to push this one through might be useful.
On Wednesday, two people were reportedly killed in accidents while working in the Gulf of Mexico cleanup effort, and the containment cap that had incrementally improved the oil spill situation had to be removed after a run-in with a robot sub.
The effects of the massive BP oil spill are bound to find expression in art, and indeed, the Jonathan Ferrara Gallery in New Orleans has given a handful of artists space to show their visions of oil-covered pelicans ... (continued)
Following up on his Tuesday address to the nation about the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, President Barack Obama was preparing Wednesday for some "constructive discussion" at a White House meeting with BP bosses, and probably some knuckle-rapping, too.
AP / Eric Gay
What's with the president's war analogy on the oil spill? It's as if some alien force, "The Invasion of the Slippery Sludge," suddenly attacked us. What nonsense.
So, British Petroleum rolled out a new and ambitious oil-recovery plan on Monday, claiming it will increase its capturing capacity to at least 40,000 barrels a day by month's end.
It's hard to cast the Gulf of Mexico oil spill in anything resembling a positive light, but some Republican operatives are apparently pretty chuffed about the media coverage of the debacle, according to ... (continued)

The oily eco-nightmare that the BP spill has become in the Gulf of Mexico isn't going to go away for a long while. According to Coast Guard chief Thad Allen, it probably will take "years" to restore affected regions to some semblance of their pre-spill existence.

In BP's latest attempt at putting a lid on its disastrous oil spill, the embattled company pulled out a pair of giant shears Thursday to cut through a damaged pipe in preparation for—(drum roll) a containment cap—as a skeptical global audience looked on. Updated
The whole top-kill effort didn't work, and now BP's next trick, involving an underwater saw device, has run into trouble in the Gulf of Mexico oil blowout cleanup crusade. Meanwhile, Florida is looking like the next state to get the oily treatment.
White House / Chuck Kennedy
President Barack Obama may not yet be able to contain the mess that the Gulf of Mexico oil spill has become, but he's ordering an investigation into the cause of the disaster, he announced Tuesday ... (continued)
Want to see what it looked like when the famous "top kill" method didn't work as planned in recent days? Here's a visual aid that might make its way into Obama's nightmares sooner or later ... (continued)
OK, so he actually called it an "unparalleled disaster," but you get the idea: President Barack Obama took a moment Thursday morning to announce that the federal government had been on British Petroleum's gulf oil spill from the very start and to declare unequivocally ... (continued)
The news that British Petroleum began its latest attempt to contain the massive Gulf of Mexico oil spill Wednesday afternoon with the "top kill" stopgap strategy would be more heartening if it didn't come so late in the game—and if there was more of a guarantee that it would do the job.
Perhaps the most troubling reality in the 21st century is that our economics now dictates our cultural values, rather than the reverse, where we the people would decide how resources, production and mutual prosperity should be systematized to achieve the best society for all.
How best to deal with the mess Big Oil has wrought this past week? "We need a time out for greed," Robert Scheer says on this week's "Left, Right & Center," but Tony Blankley disagrees. Meanwhile, Arianna Huffington isn't buying President Obama's knuckle-rapping stance toward oil execs.
AP / Carolyn Kaster
The scale of the oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico might have been better contained had a safety device designed to help in situations like the one that caused the enormous mess performed properly, according to findings presented to the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday.
"Drill, baby, drill!" Those were the words that Sarah Palin used to electrify the 2008 Republican National Convention. But while she popularized that environment-be-damned slogan, it had already defined the eight years of oil-drilling policy that prevailed during the presidency of George W. Bush.
Portugal, Italy, Greece and Spain (or PIGS, as the likes of Stephen Colbert have pointed out) have seen better days—debt is overpowering the eurozone and impacting the U.S. as well. The UK election: Will it be a hung parliament? Plus: Newsweek's for sale. Any takers?
Slight progress has been made in trying to remedy the ecological and corporate nightmare that the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has become: On Wednesday, the company reported that repair workers were able to shut off one of the three leaks responsible for the catastrophic mess.
Perhaps the most enervating element of the BP-Deepwater Horizon disaster is its eerie familiarity—the sheer, inexorable predictability of it all.
In a rhetorical move that indirectly, and probably unintentionally, compares the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico to terrorism, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has said the growing slick "threatens our way of life" as it encroaches upon the state's coastline.

Anyone who wants to be – and stay – futureproof cannot afford to stand still. The only way to make progress is with new inspirations and innovations. We cannot limit our actions to the present. Instead, we need to be thinking ahead. A country has to actively use its innovative power to create new technologies, products and jobs for tomorrow. The motto of this year's Annual Report - "thinkING generations – Innovations for Germany" - exemplifies this idea. The only way to make Germany a futureproof technology hub is to think innovatively and intergenerationally.
"Infrastructure of the future – connecting people meaningfully" was the motto of the 26th German Engineers' Convention (DIT) on 14 May 2013 in Dusseldorf.
