Selbstbestimmt leben im Quartier
No. 83 of November 7, 2013
New junior research group investigates generationally sound district
Getting old and still staying healthy and independent, who doesn't wish for that? According to ageing research findings, seniors cope better when they live an active lifestyle. The living environment, i.e. the neighbourhood, buildings, roads, parks and local supply possibilities but also climatic conditions thereby play an important influential role. A junior research group at the University of Stuttgart, funded by the Fritz und Hildegard Berg Foundation with a sum of around 300,000 Euros and other partner institutes, are to contribute towards designing quarters that are generationally sound and promote health.
The population is getting older, urbanisation increasing, likewise the isolation of the individual. A second aspect is the climatic change, greatly heating up the urban quarters in the summer. In this area of tension urban and spatial planners are called for to design the city of the future in such a way that all generations feel at home and older people are able to live independently in the district as long as possible. "Urban districts" in which people like moving around outdoors are the supporting element for living independently in old age", according to Prof. Wolfgang Schlicht from the Chair of Sport and Health Sciences at the University of Stuttgart, who supervises the young researchers jointly with Professor Clemens Becker (Stuttgart), Frank Oswald (Frankfurt am Main), Stefan Siedentop (Dortmund) and Antje Stokman (University of Stuttgart).
In the course of the project five young scientists from Gerontology, Geriatrics, Health Sciences, Landscape Architecture and Urban and Spatial Planning will be working jointly from 2014 onwards on describing the mobility-promoting, generationally sound city. They will develop reliable methods and explain the person-environment interactions leading to or hindering mobility. Their doctoral theses will concentrate on the diverse interactions between environmental (climatic, acoustic and air quality, structural-spatial aspects) requirements and expectations of older people. Taking the example of the City of Stuttgart the researchers describe and explain what hinders the physical and social mobility of older people, what promotes it and what effect it has on the autonomy, health and well-being of the older people.
Older people "transport" biographical experiences from past situations in life and have a diverse range of lifestyles. They frequently live in the same district for decades. "It is the living environment in particular that influences everyday life especially in old age and much more so than in younger years and thus contributes towards growing old being successful or failing", said Prof. Frank Oswald from the Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main.
Climatic influences also have an impact on everyday behaviour. High temperatures with a simultaneous high air humidity force older people to become inactive in the summer weeks. Once inactive, the loss of vital life functions soon threatens and the ability to master everyday life independently is reduced. "During the summer of 2003 old people died prematurely in the south of Germany who could have survived longer. If we had had more shading, ventilation, vaporisation and also other measures in designing the district still unknown in their effect, then we would be able to prevent such premature fatalities", said Dr. Clemens Becker, Chief Physician from the Geriatric Rehabilitation Clinic at Robert-Bosch Hospital in Stuttgart. "The project is challenging with its interdisciplinary compilation and it is extremely promising to explain the living and residing of older people in their urban district. The approach increases our urban, spatial and landscape architectural expertise with which we are able develop guidelines for a better urban design", according Prof. Antje Stokman from the Chair of Landscape Architecture and Ecology at the University of Stuttgart and Prof. Stefan Siedentop, the Head of the Institute for Urban and Spatial Planning at the University of Dortmund.

White HTC Sensation XE to be launched this month in the UK
A white version of the HTC Sensation XE (the world's first Beats Audio smartphone, released in black back in October) will be available soon in the UK.
Clove allows British customers to pre-order the white Sensation XE, asking £408 (about $646) for it. The handset should become available in the week starting February 20 – however, as always in these cases, things can change until then.
Just like the black Sensation XE, the white one runs Android 2.3 Gingerbread (upgradeable to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich), and features a 4.3 inch qHD display, Sense UI, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 768MB of RAM, 8MP rear camera, and a Beats headset in the box.

Kris Jenner "Bans" Kourtney Kardashian From Marrying Scott Disick?
Kris Jenner banned Kourtney Kardashian from having a "shotgun wedding" to Scott Disick, reports the National Enquirer.
The mag claims Kardashian has rejected Disick's proposals "a whopping four times," and Jenner "is to blame."
According to "sources" for the tabloid, "Kris is dead-set against letting hard-partying Scott anywhere near the family fortune."
However, the Enquirer says Disick is fighting back against the "meddling" momager and "demanding Kourtney tie the knot in a splashy televised wedding ceremony."
A so-called family "insider" explains, "Scott doesn't want to raise another baby as an unmarried couple so he's putting the heat on Kourtney to marry him soon."
Disick supposedly popped the question last month with a "$60,000 two-carat diamond engagement ring," but the mag's "source" says Kardashian told him "her mom would disown her if she accepted."
Actually, Jenner has wanted her daughter to wed Disick for some time now, saying on "The Talk" last fall, "I would love for Kourtney and Scott to get married."
It's Kardashian who doesn't want to tie the knot, telling Jimmy Kimmel earlier this month Disick is already her "partner" and she doesn't need a piece of paper right now to confirm their commitment to each other.

Item has a Minimum Qty
Clip a towel to a chair or a sarong with flair. The USA Pool & Toy TropiClips Multi Use Clips are good for everything.
These clips worked perfect! I took them on a cruise because when laying on the deck it is always windy. I had so many people ask me where I got them I should have bought more! I even used them to clip my suit on the balcony chair to let dry so it wouldn't blow away....they were great. My husband made fun of me for buying them but wasn't laughing when my towel stayed put :)

clips not up to expectation
I was disappointed in these clips.... not as functional as some others. just basically a clip for chip bags. note that I was looking for and it was marketed as also a means of clipping a towel to the beach chair...no way!
These clips are really strong! They work great for holding your beach towel to the chair in the wind, they're perfect for clipping a towel or sarong without tying and they could be used for any "clipping" application. They will work well for clipping things to my backpack. (Fins, mask, towel, small purse, etc.) Very pretty too.They are really strong so it takes some pressure to open them but they really work well. Highly recommend - I came back and ordered more.

Thanks for the Encouragement
I appreciate the comments and emails commenting on my quilting of Ann's table quilt. I'm sure you can tell that this type of quilting moves me out of my comfort zone which is overall freehand quilting and pantographs and I appreciate the reassurance you all have given me.
Mom saw the quilt tonight – she really likes it so I'm happy and she'll bind it and give it to Ann.
Just a comment on the trip from HELL! Those of you that read my blog regularly know I travel a lot. So it takes quite a bit of inconvenience to make me comment on travel woes. Rather than give the long version (24 hours long!) I'll just summarize below
- 3 hours sitting at the gate ON THE PLANE in Minneapolis due to a mechanical problem.
- Knowing after the 1st hour I'd miss my connection.
- Having to make an unscheduled stop in Cincinnati to fix the mechanical problem because they didn't have the part in Minneapolis.
- Being allowed off the plane in Cincinnati at 9:30PM to get some dinner only to find ALL the restaurants and food court had already closed.
- Having the worst seatmate EVER who was loud and obnoxious the entire time and during the incessant talking on her cell phone called me a bitch and unfriendly because I wouldn't listen to her rant about how pissed she was. (Thank goodness for iPods and headphones!)
- Getting to Atlanta at 11:30PM AFTER all flights to Newport News had left for the day.
- Having to stand in a line from 11:30 PM to 6:15 AM to reschedule a flight (Keith got on the phone after a couple hours but the best he could do was a Sunday morning flight).
- Trying to get on the 7:20 AM flight (Standby) but being unsuccessful.
- Having a Delta Crown Room agent finally get me a confirmed seat at 10AM after being told the earliest I'd get out was 9:30PM on Saturday.
- Two hotel reservations made and not used (one because I was in line all night, the second because I got on the 10AM flight).
- Getting to Newport News but my luggage NOT arriving.
- Having them come out to deliver my luggage but ONLY the suitcase with the quilts arriving.
Hopefully # 12 will be them bringing my clothes and toiletries tomorrow!!
There's a reason I like quilting pantographs ….
and overall freehand designs. I struggle to get a smooth flow between designs in different areas of a quilt. This is a table quilt pieced by Mom that I've been quilting. (It's for my sister Ann)
A visit to the Dog Park
Chinese Coins #4
I probably won't get a chance to make this top before I leave for Virginia on Friday but I've worked up the EQ file and posted instructions on MaryQuilts.com. It's titled Uneven Chinese Coins – as usual – my quilt names are pretty uninspiring. I have the perfect purple border/sashing fabric for it.
Playing with the longarm
Sandra from Stashbuster was here today and we played around on the longarm. She brought a quilt top but we decided that playing around on mulsin would be better for her first time. She was so nice that she left the top for me to finish and donate even though we didn't get to work on it.
I took photos of some of her hearts and leaves to share. These are two of my favorite allover freehand patterns so I always have people try them out. I can tell she'd be pretty good at this with just a little practice.
Frogging again
We're home from Ft. Lauderdale and had a great time visiting family. Samantha's High School graduation party was lots of fun and she'll be off to the University of Florida in a week for the summer session.
Chris drove down from Marietta so we enjoyed seeing him too …if only Adam and Becky had been able to make it I would have been completely happy.
Do you want to write a book?
I'm getting ready to head to the pool to read a bit and was checking email first and wanted to share this.
I was up late Wednesday night checking out this site – Blurb, downloading the software, and slurping my blog into a book.
You've seen the little books that you can create at the photo sites right? I've been tempted to order one but they're very limited and I didn't like that I had to work online to make them.
Blurb has software you download and tons of options and formats. I've already slurped my blog and am in the process of editing it. It takes a ton of editing so it would probably be easier to start a book from scratch but since I use my blog as a journal I like the idea of having it in a book format. I'm having to replace some photos because the resolution is too low and edit out some content but it's great.
I can see lots of ways I could use this program personally and if you've ever wanted to write a book or publish a book of your photos you've got to take a look!
We're off to the airport
No sewing for the next few days but I packed some yarn for a prayer shawl.
I posted an instruction sheet on MaryQuilts.com last night for the Patriotic String Star quilt that I made for Quilts of Valor – it has the binding machine stitched on and I'll hand stitch it down when I get home.
My Sidebar reading list was getting too long so I also added a ~Reading List~ page over there with the full list.
See you on Sunday!
Ft. Lauderdale
I just got back from taking Chesty to Downtown Dogs for boarding while we're gone this weekend. We're heading south to Ft. Lauderdale tomorrow morning for my niece's graduation party and we'll be home Sunday. He's adjusting well to boarding so I don't feel so bad about leaving him. Today there was another little white dog that you can also see in the webcam photo but Chesty is the one in front facing away from the camera.
Speaking of quilting I have a small table quilt to load and start and a binding to put on before I leave so I better get to work.
Just to give Debbie a hard time – can you believe that she's not planning to drive over from the SW side of the state to see me while I'm in Ft. Lauderdale. Don't ask how many times I drove to see her when I was living in Florida and Georgia and they were cruising on their boat!

|Prevent Shut Offs Due to Hot Weather
Last updated: February 2009
A state law passed on August 1, 2008 to protect Illinois residents from the dangers of hot weather year round. The law prevents your power from being cut off if the "official" national weather forecast says the weather will be 95 degrees or hotter. The power can't be shut off any time within 24 hours after a scheduled shutoff or over the following weekend or holiday. This saves you and your family from the dangers of extreme heat.
This law applies to all public utilities in Illinois except for co-operatives and city utilities. The exceptions include companies like Mid-American in the Quad Cities and Mount Carmel Public Utility Company. Mid-American already has a policy to keep power on when the temperature is over 100 degrees.
If your power company wants to disconnect your service and the law doesn't apply because it isn't too hot or too cold, the company must give you notice and offer a deferred payment plan before shutting off your power.
A deferred payment plan lets you pay off your past due amount while staying current on your new energy bills. The plan gives you more time to pay and keeps your power on. If you miss another payment on this plan, the power company has to give you one chance to catch up on your agreement before shutting off your power.

Would open the floodgatesMay 10,2013
Would open the floodgates
I just read that the water tax has been stripped from the fees bill. I am glad. This tax would have been a very dangerous precedent.
From here the state would claim that all water is owned by the state and we do not have the right as landowners and homeowners to get water from our wells and springs.
Next the state would claim that the rain falling on our land is owned by the state and we would not have the right to collect rainwater.
Both of these have been done in other states.
Please dont let the state of Vermont steal away our property without even eminent domain proceedings. The state has no right to our water, soil and air. As property owners, paying the mortgage and the taxes, we own our property and that includes the mineral and water rights which we bought when we purchased our land.

After a minor glitch last week- the Ports of Chelan and DouglasCounties have settled on a 5 year agreement to operate Pangborn Memorial Airport- paving the way for the $30 million runway expansion to begin.
Previously, the Port of Chelan proposed an agreement- but last week, the Port of Douglas County Commissioners changed some wording that dramatically changed the plan. During their meeting on Thursday, the Port of Chelan commissioners approved those changes.
The agreement will dissolve the Airport Governing Board and assign sole responsibility for airport operations to the Port of Chelan and reduces the share of expenses for the Port of Douglas County.
The FAA has not yet given the ports their final approval for the runway project, which, according to Mark Urdahl, Director of the Port of Chelan, is necessary because, although the current runway length works most of the time, they do occasionally run into problems.
Several parcels of land will need to be acquired in order to complete the project, and those who own those parcels have been part of continued discussions.
In a case such as this, governmental agencies have the power to exercise Eminent Domain, which allows them to acquire private property for public use for fair compensation and following th process of the law.
In this case, however, Urdahl does not believe any such action will be required.
Both ports are expected to sign the agreement tomorrow."CLICK HERE" for Audio"CLICK HERE" for Audio

Disease Proof
Tainted Pet Food: Chickens Too
First, tainted hog meat entered the food supply, now, the FDA reports that millions of chickens that also ate some of the pet food contaminated with melamine hit the U.S. market back in February. E.J. Mundell and Steven Reinberg of HealthDay News have more:
Up to 3 million broiler chickens were fed melamine-tainted pet food and then sold on the U.S. market beginning in early February, U.S. health officials said in a press conference held late Tuesday.
The contaminated pet product made its way into poultry feed at 38 Indiana farms, 30 of which produced broiler chickens destined for restaurants and supermarkets, said officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Approximately 2.5 million to 3 million chickens fed contaminated pet food have already been sold, Kenneth Peterson, assistant administrator for field operations at the USDA's Food Safety and Inspection Service, said during the teleconference. "That's out of a total of 9 billion broilers processed in the U.S. each year," he noted.
Experts from both agencies downplayed any potential threat to human health.If ask me, heads should roll over this. Our food supply is precious and should be protected.

There are a total of four landing opportunities on Saturday, two in Florida and two at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The Kennedy Space Center remains the primary landing site, with improved weather conditions predicted. Preliminary forecasts at KSC currently show the potential for continuing cloud cover, but generally improved conditions. Weather at Edwards Air Force Base is expected to be acceptable to support a landing.
The first opportunity for Endeavour to return to Florida would see a deorbit burn at 12:32 p.m. Central Time with landing at 1:37 p.m. Central. The second opportunity of the day begins with a deorbit firing of Endeavour's engines at 2:09 p.m. with landing at 3:15 p.m. Central. If weather conditions require Endeavour to land at the alternate site in California, the first opportunity would be at 4:45 p.m., with a second opportunity at 6:22 p.m. Central.
Flight controllers will carefully monitor weather forecasts on both coasts overnight as they prepare to bring Endeavour home Saturday. A landing tomorrow will conclude a 185-day stay in space for the returning Expedition Five crew - Commander Valery Korzun, NASA ISS Science Officer Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineer Sergei Treschev - and a 14-day mission for the STS-113 crew of Commander Jim Wetherbee, Pilot Paul Lockhart, and Mission Specialists Mike Lopez-Alegria and John Herrington.

Dual Boot Guide & Operating System FAQ

Current Game
XP / FreeBSD Dual Boot
Goals: Install FreeBSD 6.2 as a partition to a drive that currently runs XP Pro. Use XP's bootloader to choose the OS.
I spent a frustrating day yesterday performing this installation and there a point when I thought I might never recover from a corrupted partition table. After all this, I'll summarize the steps involved in getting this working and hopefully save someone else some time.
0. Confirm you have your Windows XP Setup Disk. If anything bad should happen, you may need this to go to the Recovery Console and fixmbr.
1. Create an
Ultimate Boot CD
2. Create a FAT32 partition on your hard drive of about 2GB.
3. Create an unformatted partition where you want to install FreeBSD (mine: 20 GB).
4. Download the boot-only ISO image from ftp.freebsd.org and burn it to CD. (eg:
5. Create a folder on the root of your new FAT32 partition called "freebsd" (eg. G:\freebsd)
Note: If you have a wired connection to the internet you can skip step 6 and then in step 13 choose an FTP installation. At the time I performed this installation, I only had wireless adapter and so had to resort to downloading the FTP tree ahead of time to my FAT32 partition.
6. Go to the releases section of ftp.freebsd.org (eg.
) and patiently download the entire contents of your release into the freebsd folder on your FAT32 partition, preserving the directory structure.
7. Insert the FreeBSD boot-only CD and reboot. Change your BIOS to allow you to boot to CD if you haven't already.
8. Choose 1 from the FreeBSD menu. Look at all that system info... Select your country. Choose (S)tandard installation. Don't get worried about disk geometry messages.
9. In the FDISK-like screen, highlight your target partition and choose C to Create Slice. Keep the 165 partition type (FreeBSD native). And type Q to finish.
10. In the Boot Manager screen, select (S)tandard to create a MBR with no boot manager.
11. In the Disk Label Editor screen, select (A)uto Defaults. Look for the Part that has DOS as its Newfs. Highlight it and select (M)ount Pt. For the mount point name call it "/mnt". Press Q to finish.
12. Choose (A)ll for a full installation. Say yes when asked whether to install Ports collection. Select OK.
13. Choose (5) DOS as your installation media. Proceed with installation. You may want to note any packages that aren't installed in case you want to get them later.
14. Set up whatever final configurations you like and create any usernames, set the root password. Finally, exit installation, causing a reboot to your new FreeBSD installation.
15. Login as root. Edit /etc/fstab set your /mnt label to Options: rw (couldn't find how to do this during installation).
shutdown -r now
to reboot to FreeBSD once more.
17. Now that /mnt is read-write, we need to copy the boot sector of FreeBSD so that XP's bootloader can find it. Execute the following as root:
dd if=/boot/boot1 of=/mnt/bootsect.bsd bs=512 count=1
18. Insert your Ultimate Boot CD and reboot to it. Select Filesystem Tools: Partition Tools: Free FDISK. Click OK to everything. When Free FDISK executes, Answer Y to "Do you want to enable FAT32 suppport". Click 2 to set active partition. Set partition #1 (your XP partition) as the active partition. Esc, Esc, Esc, reboot.
19. In Windows XP, copy the bootsect.bsd file (eg. G:\bootsect.bsd) to C:\
20. Edit your boot.ini adding the new line under [operating systems]
[boot loader]
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOW S
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect
c:\bootsect.bsd="FreeBSD 6.2"
Now you should be able to reboot to either OS.

The initial plan for this mural stems back to my artist residency in Gellerup with Aarhus Kunstbygning at the beginning of 2012. It was an idea that I had reserved for an art installation in the form of a giant projection or mural on one of the sides of the huge apartment blocks that make up Gellerupparken – something that could still come to fruition in the near future.
Over time, this idea has matured and upon learning about Aarhus' candidacy for cultural capital 2017 it seemed like the opportune moment to make something of it. Awarded one of the 25 grants in the Midtylland region following my application I researched Aarhus' demographics, made a handful of sketches, and in co-operation with I DO ART Agency went head-first into making a full-scale wall mural – something like 4-5 meters across – at Godsbanen. Adding the finishing touches last Thursday with the final windows added to the peak of Aarhus' Prism it's now open to the public for a closer look.
The theme for the mural originates from the scholar and cultural theorist, Homi K. Bhabha and his idea that ''In between' spaces provide the terrain for elaborating strategies of selfhood – singular or communal – [and] initiate new signs of identity, and innovative sites of collaboration, and contestation, in the act of defining the idea of society itself." (The Location of Culture, Routledge, 1994: London). Bhabha identified that "It is in the emergence of the interstices – the overlap and displacement of domains of difference – that the intersubjective and collective experiences of nationness, community interest, or cultural value are negotiated."
From this quotation grew the idea of redrawing Aarhus' skyline. It's a conceptual piece that envisages Aarhus as an 'in between' space. The buildings that make up the city-scape – plucked from Viet Nam, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, India, Iraq, Turkey, Italy, France, United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Iceland among others – contribute to a portrayal of Aarhus that is more 'true' to its population, cultural foundations and 'in-betweenness'. What this mural strives to portray is that Aarhus is not a composite cultural terrain, made up of the apparent cultural values derived from the multiple different nationalities that make up the population, but instead a unique breeding ground where multiple cultural values are negotiated.
In a nutshell, what I've attempted to do through this mural is engage with Aarhus in this context, and hopefully my idea will contribute to making Aarhus become European Capital of Culture 2017.

You've heard of them before; superfoods. It's a relatively short list that includes the top foods you should be incorporating in your diet because they will keep you healthy if not healthier. Blueberries, as small and delicious as they look, have astounding health benefits. That deep, mystic blue color means flavonoids and lots of them. Flavonoids are natural compounds that protect the brains memory carrying cells. Memory preservation occurs do to the flavonoids protection against the damaging effects of oxidation and inflammation.
The most remarkable benefit blueberries possess is its proven power to reduce the risk of heart attack in women. The Harvard Health Letter reports that women who ate more than two servings of blueberries or strawberries per week were 34% less likely to experience heart attacks compared to women who rarely ate them.
Anthocyanins, the specific flavonoid in blueberries have also been shown to lower blood pressure and make blood vessels more elastic. Blueberries can easily be added to cereals, yogurts, or salads. It'll serve you well to increase your intake of blueberries. They don't taste too bad either.

City Posts Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Management Plan for Review
Posted on 06/30/2014 12:03 pm
To more efficiently address issues of storm water runoff requirements, the City recently adopted an integrated Wet Weather Management Program, Clean Waterways Wilmington (CWW). The vision of Clean Waterways Wilmington seeks to create a safe, clean and sustainable water environment to support a thriving community in Wilmington. The City will post a draft of the Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Management Plan for public review and comment.
The programs' mission states:
- We will improve surface water quality by reducing stormwater runoff and pollutants entering our waterways.
- We'll accomplish this by integrating green stormwater infrastructure while contributing to livable neighborhoods and a healthy community.
- We are committed to fostering a coordinated watershed-based approach to protect our water environment in the most cost effective manner.
Discharges of storm runoff from Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) and municipal separate storm sewer systems (MS4's) are regulated under the federal Clean Water Act, through the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program. In Delaware, the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC) is delegated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to issue NPDES permits for both CSO discharges and storm water discharge. Under these separate permits, the City must implement a collective series of programs to reduce the discharge of pollutants from the CSO outfalls and the storm sewer system to the maximum extent practicable in a manner that protects the water quality of nearby streams, rivers, wetlands and bays.
MS4 Permit
On May 7, 2013, DNREC issued a five-year, Phase I MS4 permit for the City of Wilmington (NPDES Permit DE 0051071/State Permit WPCC 3063A/96). The permit requires the permittees to prepare a Stormwater Pollution Prevention and Management Plan (SWPP&MP) that describes how the quality of stormwater discharged from the MS4 will be controlled. A draft SWPP&MP was submitted to DNREC on May 7, 2014 and a public review process will follow with a final version of the plan to be submitted on August 7, 2014.
Draft SWPP&MP
The draft SWPP&MP posted here for public review describes the programs and practices proposed by the City to fulfill the permit requirements. Under the permit the City must develop, implement and enforce a program that includes the following elements:
- Public education and public involvement
- Illicit discharge detection and elimination
- Stormwater management during construction
- Post-construction stormwater management
- Pollution prevention/good housekeeping
- Inspection of industrial facilities
- Wet weather performance monitoring
- Pollutant Minimization Plan (PMP) for polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)
- A Watershed Priority List for development of Water Quality Improvement Plans
Documents pertaining to the draft SWPP&MP can be found at the links below:
Submission of Comments
All comments must be submitted by July 25, 2014 via email to: firstname.lastname@example.com
or via mail to: Clean Waterways, Department of Public Works, 800 French Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801.

U.S. chipmaker Microsemi Corp. (MSCC-Q) is challenging a shareholder defense adopted by Zarlink (ZL-T), the Ottawa-based rival it is trying to take over with a hostile bid valued at $550 million.
Zarlink, which has rejected the bid and is seeking higher offers, said on Friday Microsemi was challenging the so-called poison pill takeover defense at the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC), Canada's main securities regulator.
"The rights plan is intended to ensure that Zarlink has time to bring its previously announced process to its conclusion for the benefit of shareholders and debentureholders," Zarlink Chairman Adam Chowaniec said in a statement.
Zarlink's board adopted the poison pill, which is triggered if any one shareholder buys 20 percent or more of the company, on July 25.
The OSC will hear Microsemi's application to challenge the plan on October 3 and 4.
The Microsemi bid expires on September 22 but can be extended.
In Friday's press release, Zarlink reiterated the board's unanimous recommendation that holders of shares and debentures reject the Microsemi offer.
Earlier this month, Zarlink said it expects a white knight to best the Microsemi offer, and that it is in talks with at least 15 potential buyers.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 4, 2006) -- Just 40 points away from setting a new ETSU record for points in a game, Buccaneer senior guard Tim Smith (Newport News, Va.) looks to guide the Bucs to their fourth-straight road victory as ETSU takes on North Florida Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Bucs (13-8, 10-4) have won 12 of their last 14 games and are poised for a run at the regular season A-Sun title in the final three weeks of league play. Meanwhile, UNF has struggled this season, going 6-15 overall, 3-11 in conference action.

Have they done this all themselves? If so it's a heck of an investment with the streamer plus iPhone, iPad and Android apps. Or maybe licensed someone else's technology? If so I'd love to know whose.
The main interesting thing to me was that they plan to allow the entire guts of the streamer to be built in to future products, starting with the new DAC

According to the Cross Country Canada website, Canadian Olympic gold medalist Chandra Crawford of Canmore, Alberta has retired at the age of 30 on Thursday.
Crawford won a gold medal for Canada in the women's 1.1 kilometre cross country skiing sprint race at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games in Turin. Crawford shocked the international sports community when she won her Olympic gold medal because she was ranked 33rd in the world at the time.
Crawford went on to win two more International Ski Federation World Cup events--in her home town of Canmore on January 26, 2008 and then less than two months later in Lahti, France on March 1, 2008.
Crawford will now begin focusing on a business and leadership education degree with the intention to run the "Fast and Female program", a program Crawford plans to be in charge of to help Alberta girls and females be more physically fit.

This item installs easily and does a good job of keeping the windshield clear. Removal can be tricky after a freezing rain as the mesh air vents tend to freeze to the louvers and need to be carefully extricated to prevent damage. It then needs to be taken inside to thaw and dry before its next use.

The Central Iowa Lacrosse Association wrapped up its 2012 Youth Lacrosse Program on Monday night with a pair of pick up games for the boys. The girls wrapped up last week.
Toni Backstrom, mother of one of the players, was kind enough to take several pictures over the course of the summer. Here are a few photos, presented without commentary.
Of course this program could never have been as successful without the generosity of West Genesee. A good chunk of the gear pictured above was donated through their equipment drive this spring. The YMCA, inspired by the donation, purchased additional sets to ensure that every boy would have his own gear to use this summer. There are several boys that are extremely grateful to both groups.

The childhood home is up for sale and PETA had a great plan to transform the house into a vegan restaurant. The idea, they said, was to change the place where a killer grew up into the "site of a celebration of culinary compassion" according to their website. Those plans have been squashed now though according to an April 8 Cleveland.com report.
The 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom home is located about 25 miles south of Cleveland and sits tucked back into the trees. Priced at just $295,000 this is a great home for anyone who can look past it's dark history. A video of the home interior boasts big, picture windows and granite counter tops.
The realtor Rich Lubinski insists that the house is nice and someone should buy it and be happy with it. He says "the house didn't kill anybody." Indeed, the house did not kill anybody but it's former inhabitant did. In fact, Jeffrey Dahmer killed and buried his first victim in this home. That might be enough to turn some buyers away.
PETA had come up with an idea to turn the horrific home into a vegan restaurant. Talk about coming full circle. They even planned to name the diner "Eat for Life - Home Cooking." A call to action on the PETA website urged supporters to help in the full transformation of the house where the notorious serial killer began his violent ways.
Not all great ideas come to fruition though and PETA has put the brakes on the Jeffrey Dahmer house almost as quickly as the plan was hatched. Media officer Moira Colley said that PETA will not be moving forward with the project but never gave an explanation why.
Turning Jeffrey Dahmer's childhood home into a vegan restaurant would highly ironic and would undoubtedly draw attention. Was that PETA's intent in the first place? To draw attention to their cause through the sale of the Dahmer home? Let us know in the comments below if the PETA restaurant was a real idea or just a publicity stunt to align their name with the Dahmer story.

Social Media in the Newsroom
I was skeptical about the plan to hold a daily news chat (using the amazing, excellent, can't say enough good things about it Cover it Live software) on our site every weekday for an hour and a half, hosted by our senior writer, George.
My main reservation – and forgive me George and Jack (semi-co-host) who may or may not read this – was the fact that we killed a daily newscast because it took too much time to do. For those two, a daily 90 minute chat would be even more of a time suck than our newscast ever was. But bless their cotton socks, they still wanted to try this.
My other reservation was the Troll Factor. The fellas have high hopes of our endeavour being a place for good discussion on the news topics of the day. A sort of coffeehouse conversation that the town mayor, or city council member may stop in to from time to time. As the longtime (and often long-suffering) admin of our forums and moderator of our story comments, I also know that the town crank might also show up and get everyone all riled up.
So it was with some trepidation that I got on board with the plan.
I'm happy to say that we've been doing the chat for two weeks now and it's exceeded even my curmudgeonly expectations. We have had a troll or two, but because of Cover it Live's method of previewing comments before they go live, we're able to respond to them or squash them if we need to. But for the most part, the discussion topics have ranged from downtown improvement (a hot topic actually, requiring a couple days devoted to it), wind energy, the big State Fair move and other local stuff. It's turning out to be exactly what George and Jack hoped for.
There's been a learning curve though. Some things we've learned:
Our numbers have astonished us. For a small paper, we're averaging about 75 unique readers a day, with 75% of them sticking around longer than a minute. Replays are growing each day as well.
Our newsroom is watching the chat every day as well. We learned that discussion generated in the chat led to some story ideas for reporters when they were in a budget meeting.
We also learned that our session on the local Downtown Business Improvement District issue caused one councilman to cast a 'No' vote on the issue after seeing the discussion.
Those two reasons alone make me reverse my position on the whole thing. I'm excited about it, all the way now Next week we will have a Senator in to discuss renewable energy and Nebraska's Safe Haven law, and in April, we managed to get the governor to agree to join us. Very exciting!

College Hockey:Reiter's play pivotal as Minnesota-Duluth edges Bemidji State
DULUTH, Minn. — Nail-biting finishes have been the norm between Minnesota-Duluth and Bemidji State since the two have met in Division I starting in 1999.
Entering a Western Collegiate Hockey Association weekend men's series, nine of the previous 10 games in the series were decided by two goals or less, including four straight overtime games.
While the Bulldogs diverted from the script with a four-goal victory Friday, it was business as usual between the teams Saturday.
After surviving a penalty shot in the second period with a Kenny Reiter save, All-American center Jack Connolly converted on a power play with 8:39 to play for a 1-0 UMD win in front of 6,178 fans at Amsoil Arena. It was Reiter's seventh career shutout and it completed UMD's first regular-season sweep in the short history of its new rink. Reiter didn't allow a goal in the final 112 minutes, 34 seconds of the series.
"After the first 10 minutes, we knew what kind of game we were in. Bemidji State was playing better and for two periods we couldn't get much going," said Reiter, a senior from Pittsbugh. "We could've been better, but the most important thing was to keep our focus."
The No. 15 Bulldogs (4-3-1 and 2-2 WCHA) are 3-0-1 the last four games. Bemidji State (3-5 and 2-4) has lost two straight following last weekend's home sweep of Michigan Tech.
The Beavers were run over Friday after relinquishing a 2-0 lead, and were intent on keeping UMD more in check.
"We were a different team (Saturday)," said Bemidji State coach Tom Serratore. "We defended well and our effort was very good. We were hard to play against. You could see it was going to come down to who got the last break."
Reiter gave UMD the first break. Bulldogs defenseman Luke McManus was called for holding on a scoring chance by Bemidji State winger Brance Orban with 8:58 left in the second period. Orban, with two goals this season, was awarded a penalty shot, and came in on Reiter, faked a shot, and then went low to the stick side and was stopped. Reiter also had a successful penalty shot stop against Bemidji State in the WCHA Final Five playoffs in March.
The only three power plays of the second period went to the Bulldogs, but they couldn't convert, as the score remained 0-0 through 40 minutes. Shots on goal were 19-19, and finished in UMD's favor 28-23.
"We were flat the whole game. We were not at the level of Friday, and Bemidji was much better," said UMD coach Scott Sandelin. "So you try to get through it, grind your way through it. You try to find something."
Bemidji State winger Darcy Findlay left the game 43 seconds into the third period for a major contact-to-the head penalty against Connolly, yet UMD managed just one shot on goal during the five minutes.
On UMD's next power play, the fifth of the game, the Bulldogs did convert. Winger Mike Seidel, standing at the extended goal line, passed to Connolly at the inside of the right circle, and he held the puck for a bit. Bemidji State defenseman Brady Wacker was defending Connolly, but had lost his stick.
Connolly found a way past stingy goalie Dan Bakala for his third goal of the season and 49th of his career, and has a point in six straight games. That kept the game from the possibility of a 0-0 tie, which hasn't been recorded by UMD since March of 2007.
"Bemidji didn't get many good opportunities. We cleaned up things defensively and ultimately got the result we wanted, a win and a sweep," said Reiter, who didn't allow goal after the eight-minute mark Friday.
Bemidji State did pull Bakala with 56 seconds to go for an extra attacker, but the Bulldogs allowed nothing.
There was no score through one period with the Beavers leading 8-6 in shots on goal. Bakala, replacing freshman Andrew Walsh, who played the last two games, made a save on Seidel with 7:00 left in the opening period. Three minutes later, in a four-on-four shift, Seidel rang a shot off the crossbar. UMD is 6-5-1 versus Bemidji State the last 12 games in the series.
The Bulldogs play at No. 2 Denver on Friday and Saturday. The Pioneers are coming off a loss and tie at surprising Michigan Tech.

Banks' Caving on Debit Fees May Cost Consumers in Other Ways
Consumers complained LOUDLY about new debit-card fees, and the banks are caving. But don't worry. Banks will find some way to make up the lost money.
Most big U.S. banks, including J.P. Morgan and Citigroup, are planning to steer clear of pushing through debit-card fees amid consumer outrage at Bank of America's new $5 monthly fee on debit-card holders, Deal Journal colleague Robin Sidel reported.
On paper, freedom from debit-card fees won't be a cheap decision for the big banks. J.P. Morgan, for example, has said new regulations limiting "swipe fees" for each debit-card transaction will cost J.P. Morgan $1 billion a year in gross revenue. Wells Fargo recently disclosed it expects a $250 million after-tax hit to quarterly income, "before the impact of any offsetting actions."
Notice that J.P. Morgan stipulates this lost money is gross revenue. Notice that Wells Fargo leaves wiggle room for "offsetting actions." Yes, in the grand tradition of banking fee Whac-A-Mole, punching down fees in one part of your account may result in fees popping up in another part.
In a recent statement, Dan Geller of banking-research firm Market Rates Insight said separate rules limiting banks' overdraft and ATM fees will have the opposite effect on consumers' wallets in other ways.
"Whatever consumers saved on overdraft and ATM fees, they lost in lower interest rates on deposit partly done to offset lower fee income," Geller said in the statement.
It's fair to assume banks will find new ways to cushion the debit-fee blow, too.
WSJ Deal Journal writer Shira Ovide stops by Mean Street to discuss banks that have given in to pressure to not launch or eliminate debit card fees. Ovide says banks often make up for those fees elsewhere.

Manchester man, JCC swim teacher charged with soliciting teens for sex
A swimming instructor and former teacher is now charged with trying to solicit sex from what he thought was a teenage boy.
The suspect -- 58-year-old Charles David Beaver -- was a member of the aquatics department staff at the Jewish Community Centers in Northwest Baltimore and also in Owings Mills.
"At no point did we have any concern about chuck's employment here at the JCC," said Barak Hermann, President of the JCC of Greater Baltimore. (Full statement below)
That employment involved the training of life-saving techniques and swimming certification. Off-camera, one employee told ABC2 News he found Charles Beaver to be too enthusiastic about the physical contact involved with the job.
But JCC officials said they perform background checks on all potential employees, and beaver's criminal record in Maryland was clean -- until now.
"We were really surprised to learn this morning about the incident and obviously we are cooperating with authorities to make sure we get down to the bottom of it. We're really devastated about what happened," Hermann said.
This week, police say an undercover detective posed as a pimp online, and contacted Beaver, who they say had expressed interest in "purchasing a sex act" from a child.
"During one of their online conversations the detective also posed as a 15-year-old boy. During that conversation the suspect stated that he wanted to engage in a sexual act with the boy," said Cpl. John Wachter, a spokesman for the Baltimore County Police Department.
At some point Beaver thought he might have set up a meeting with the boy. That, police say, was never going to happen.
"The detective later told the suspect if he wanted to meet the boys, he could meet them at a hotel room in Baltimore County. When the suspect arrived at that hotel room, we were waiting for him and took him into custody," Wachter said.
Beaver is also a retired school teacher from Carroll County. He has been fired from the JCC.
He is being held at the Baltimore County Detention Center on $100-thousand bond.
Baltimore County Police do not know whether he actually abused anyone, but they are asking anyone with information to call them.
Hermann, president of the Jewish Community Center of Greater Baltimore, said in a statement:
We regret to share with you that this afternoon we were informed by the Baltimore County police that Charles Beaver, an employee in our aquatics department, was arrested and charged with sexual solicitation of a minor and related charges stemming from an internet sting operation conducted by Baltimore County authorities. Our understanding is that the "victim" was an undercover detective posing as a 15-year old boy.
We are deeply disturbed and concerned and intend to fully cooperate with the authorities in their investigation of Mr. Beaver. Mr. Beaver has been terminated from the JCC effective immediately.
The safety of all our members and guests is of the utmost importance and concern to the JCC. To this end, we utilize a professional agency to conduct a rigorous background investigation on all prospective JCC employees as a prerequisite to their employment. This process includes fingerprinting and a search of the Criminal Justice Information System.
If anyone has any questions, concerns or information they want to share, please contact the Baltimore County Police Department at 410-307-2020 or Barak Hermann, President of the JCC at 410-559-3502.
Editor's Note: Police earlier incorrectly stated that the suspect was "in charge of" a summer camp for kids. The story has been updated to reflect that Charles Beaver worked at the summer camp.

The Animal section of the SEB has a diverse range of interests on whole organism biology, and also includes considerations of the links to cellular process at lower levels of biological organisation, but also associations between physiology, locomotion and behaviour in the context of ecophysiology or ecology. However, the core theme is the biology of the whole organism.
The animal section is split into special interest groups from the view point of managing our affairs, but scientifically these boundaries are not fixed, and the groups do share scientific events and interests. The groups include biomechanics, osmoregulation, animal respiration, neurobiology, and animal genomics.
Information about the different Animal Section Interest Groups can be found here. Each interest group is headed up by a Group Convenor, and along with our Co-opted Members, make up the committee of the SEB Animal Section.

How to transfer a file from one system to another system easily?In my company employees will always ask us to transfer files from one system A to system B and so on. What we do is first we access system A through samba and copy the required files and then we access the system B through samba and paste the files there.Is there any easy and quick way of transferring of files from one system to another system?Any GUI will be preferable, thanks in advance :)
You can use ssh, to transfer files. So you can transfer a file like this:
so you transfer examplefile to /home/otheruser
If you dont like to use commands, you just use nautilus, which support the ssh-protocol. So its just like a normal directory and you can copy files.
You get to it when you open Nautilus under File -> Connect to Server...
The easy way of doing this that we did in a company I used to work in was that there was a network shared folder that everyone could use on a temporary basis. That way you don't need to copy files for people, they can just put their files on the central shared directory and then they can access it from any of the other machines on the floor.
If there are security concerns then you might have to give everyone their own passworded folder on shared directory, which involves a little more back work on your part but will save you a lot of work in the long term.
If people have to ask you to move files around they might as well use a USB stick, much better to let them do it themselves on the network.

Russian "taxi crew" Commander Sergei Zalyotin, European Space Agency Flight Engineer Frank DeWinne from Belgium and Russian Flight Engineer Yuri Lonchakov lifted off in dense fog in the new Soyuz TMA-1 vehicle at 9:11 p.m. Central time (311 GMT Oct. 30). About nine minutes later, the new Soyuz had reached orbit and its solar panels and navigational antennas had deployed.
The new Soyuz is designed to accommodate larger or smaller crewmembers, and is equipped with upgraded computers, a new cockpit control panel and improved avionics. Zalyotin, who commanded the last mission to the Mir Space Station in 2000, DeWinne, a first-time flier, and Lonchakov, who flew on the shuttle Endeavour to deliver the Canadarm2 robotic arm to the ISS in 2001, are scheduled to dock their Soyuz vehicle to the station's Pirs Docking Compartment Thursday night around 11 p.m. CST (500 GMT Nov. 1) for the start of eight days of joint operations. Hatches between the Soyuz and the ISS are scheduled to swing open around 12:40 a.m. CST Friday (640 GMT).
The Expedition 5 crewmembers - Commander Valery Korzun, NASA ISS Science Officer Peggy Whitson and Flight Engineer Sergei Treschev - were asleep at the time of the Soyuz launch. When they are awakened, they will begin their 147th day in space, the 145th day aboard the ISS.
After arriving at the station, Zalyotin, DeWinne and Lonchakov will join their Expedition resident colleagues in performing a variety of scientific experiments, many of them furnished under a commercial contract between the European Space Agency and the Russian Aviation and Space Agency on behalf of DeWinne. The taxi trio is scheduled to board the Soyuz TM-34 return craft that has been linked to the ISS since April, and undock on Nov. 9 for a landing on the steppes of Kazakhstan.
A fresh Soyuz is delivered to the ISS every six months to provide an assured return capability for station residents in the unlikely event a problem would force them to come home prematurely.

It's starting to get too damn hot to turn on the oven, which means baking a blueberry pie for your family and friends is out of the question. Instead, buy one from the bakery down the street and light the Blueberry and Vanilla Candle ($28) from Sydney Hale Co. to simulate an all-day bakefest. The candle smells so delish, no one will notice the deception. Or, you could just serve them some ice cream and light the candle for ambiance - no lying needed!

Soon after, he transferred to Brewster Nickel-Plate Railroad before he became affiliated with Norfolk-Western Railroad which ultimately became Norfolk-Southern Railroad. In his thirty-eight year career, he began working on steam engines shoveling coal into the boiler  and at the time of his retirement, he was an engineer for a diesel engine. John loved the railroad, but when he was away from it, he devoted himself to his family, who will remember him for his good nature, great sense of humor and love for his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. An avid outdoorsman, John loved to garden  both vegetable and flower varieties. He also will be remembered by family and friends as an accomplished woodworker. John was also a lifetime member of the VFW, he originally joined the former VFW Post 5101 at Leesville, and the American Legion. John leaves behind a family that includes his daughter Marlynn J (Jerry) Hoffman of New Philadelphia, and son, Jon (Linda) Newell of Mineral City, step-daughter Glenna Devine of Toledo, Ohio, a step-son Rex (Tina) Neiger of Clearfield, Pennsylvania; a son-in-law, Perry Myers of Sugarcreek, four granddaughters, Tina (Eric) Himes of Port Washington, Bunny (Tim) Sheehy of Dover, Buffy (Travis) Hostetler of Sugarcreek, and Michelle Devine and her husband Brian MaHaney of Chicago, Illinois; five grandsons, Butch (Cindy) Myers of Strasburg, Stephen Neiger and Jacob Neiger of Clearfield, Pennsylvania, Ronnie Neiger of Seville, Ohio, and John Chester Newell of Mineral City; 11 great-grandchildren, Alyssa, Ciara, Michaela, Geddy, T.J., Tyler, Tristan, Hunter, Cody, Luke, and Abby; four sisters, Donna Marks of Canton, Alice (Carl) Barnes of Kentucky, Jessie McNutt of Mineral City, and Polly Byers of New Philadelphia; a brother, Glenn Newell of Dover; numerous nieces and nephews complete the family.
