reliability, safety and cost-efficiency are common goals shared by
professionals who work in the municipal water and wastewater sector. To help
water professionals meet those goals, the Water/Wastewater Industries Division
(WWID) of the ISA, a key educational,
technical, professional development and networking resource for the sector, is
gearing up for the 2013 Water/Wastewater and Automatic Controls (WWAC)
Symposium August 6-8, 2013 in Orlando, Florida.
As part of its outreach activities, the ISA is partnering
with the Water Environment Federation's Automation and Information Technology
Committee to ensure that SCADA and operations professionals in the sector have
a venue to learn about new technology, share ideas, network and gain valuable
continuing education units (CEUs).
"Smart Water" is the theme for our 2013 symposium, which
will look at ways SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) systems can
be used to help plants improve operations and protect our shared water
resources. Attendees will learn how to drive better plant visualization,
improve situational awareness, optimize operations and maintenance, and reduce
energy costs. Additional topics include using process data for online process
optimization and improved asset management, along with several general SCADA
topics unique to municipal water/wastewater.
I'm delighted to note that IBM's Carey E. Hidaka, a
seasoned professional with over 35 years of experience in the water and
information technology sectors, will deliver this year's keynote address about
using data to make smarter decisions. Two days of expert presentations will
explore topics including instrumentation, system integration, automation, plant
case studies, new technologies, optimization, SCADA, HMI, operator empowerment
through technology, and the latest alarm management techniques. We also have
invited speakers who will give talks about cyber security, effective project
management for SCADA retrofit projects, and the benefits of using high
performance HMIs (human machine interfaces).
The symposium also has two optional training
courses: a two-day, in-depth cyber
security course and a one-day course on flow meter selection/sizing. Attendees
can earn continuing education units (CEU) and professional development hours
(PDH) by participating in the symposium's educational sessions and these ISA
training courses. To register for the summer symposium, click this link.
The WWAC symposium is joint collaboration of ISA members
and staff, as well as industry sponsors and supporting partnerships with
leading organizations including the Water Environment Federation (WEF), the Florida section of the American Water Works Association (AWWA), the Florida Water Environment Association (FWEA) and the Instrument Testing Association (ITA). More information is available at www.isawwsymposium.com. Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing you in Orlando!

Even with divesting $10 billion, M$ has $30 billion in cash reserves.
Getting M$ to pay $3 billion is only 10 percent of that. Not a huge chunk
of change for the crapware giant.

Yazadril watched the huge human walk blithely through the border Wards
of The Nine Valleys like they weren't even there, and his breath hissed
in between his teeth. The ancient mountain elf was stunned with
surprise for the first time in decades, and he nervously tugged his
long white beard in consternation. Nothing could pass the Wards unless
a Warder had admitted it, nothing! And since he was one of the
Warders, he knew with certainty that no such admission had occurred!
He felt a moment of fear, an emotion he had not experienced for
centuries, and quickly cast Unseen upon himself with a quietly hummed
note and a practiced gesture.
Then his intellect re-asserted itself. He reasoned that since the human
had been completely unaffected by the Illusions, Force Barriers, and
other magic defenses of the border Wards, he may also be unaffected by
the Unseen spell. That thought gave him another fright, and he
carefully moved behind a tree, then peered around it at the human.

The Big Bang may have been the theme of this year's Watermill Center extravaganza of a summer gala, with its outsized red phalluses, neon ninjas, and popping balloons, but many East End events make big noise.
At the Watermill Center on Saturday night, even a heavy downpour did not deter a dancer clad in wedding white from writhing in dirt. A few minutes in, she was muddied, as if coated in primal ooze. A woman in yellow used a leaf blower to inflate giant white latex that went POP from the exertion. The rain caused onlookers to retreat from the art laden paths the better to view the art for auction under a tent: works by Marina Abramovic, Sandro Chia, William Wegman, Shirin Neshat, Dennis Oppenheim, Alexandra Posen, Lola Schnabel, to name a few. The challenge to stay dry also brought viewers to the edgy video installation, Mike Kelley 1954-2012 in collaboration with the LUMA Foundation, in the center's exhibition space.
Robert Wilson, the perfect host, greeted each guest. This world-renowned artist will be staging his "The Odyssey" in Athens this October.
Teaming up with Joey Calderazzo on piano, Branford Marsalis's concert at Guild Hall showed how physical jazz is. Performing compositions by each, the players leaned in with Calderazzo practically leaping off his stool, his feet in constant motion. Their take on Duke Ellington's "In a Sentimental Mood," segued into an elegiac saxophone solo. Marsalis explained the origins of his tune "Eternal": The band wrote songs for their girlfriends and wives, and his wife Nicole wanted to know, where's my song? This was it. The classical music influence and ESP these jazz artists developed over 15 years of performing together was evident throughout, finishing with Calderazzo's tune, "Breeze Dance."
Twenty-five years ago, the Danish movie Babette's Feast won the Best Foreign Film Oscar. In honor of The Film Society of Lincoln Center's 50th anniversary, Guild Hall and the Hamptons International Film Festival hosted a special screening, followed by a panel featuring Bob Giraldi, Fern Berman and Geoffrey Drummond. Experts on food in the media, all agreed that this charming movie ushered in the era of celebrity chefs like Julia Child, Jacques Pepin, and Mario Batali. Babette's, the East Hampton restaurant, was named for the film. In celebration, the audience was treated to carrot cake courtesy of Babette's, not the mouth watering splendid French meal of the film's climax, but grand nonetheless.
Never underestimate the voyeuristic pleasure of visiting the property of others, to see their choices on grounds, outdoor sculpture, landscaping, or just to get some gardening tips. This year, Guild Hall's Garden as Art tour scheduled for Aug. 25 features art by Robert Indiana, Calder, and Niki de Saint Phalle at Lisa and Richard Perry's spectacular North Haven estate. At Lenore and Adam Senders' kid's paradise, most memorable are a sunken trampoline, ponies, stables, and a Sol Le Witt keyhole. On the spiritual side, a labyrinth reminds the visitor to Jody and Larry Carlson's home and studio that the end of the journey is the journey itself. Jenny and Trey Laird's old school Bridgehampton village house belies a deep and rich unfolding of fountain, swimming pool and pool house. And the Michael MacElhenny and David Wine house in the East Hampton historic district offers a garden arranged by color, moving with the seasons.

Police career shake-up could see foreigner in charge of the Met
Recruitment shake-up means outsider could lead London police in 'years rather than decades'
TOP police recruits will be fast-tracked to chief constable positions within 10 years rather than taking a quarter of a century to climb the career ladder, as part of controversial plans to shake up the force.
The overhaul also means a foreigner could lead the Metropolitan Police within "years rather than decades", Home Office minister Damian Green said this morning. He told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme the police would improve if their talent pool was "widened".
Outsiders will be able to join the force as top-ranking superintendents after 15 months' training. But some have reacted with dismay, claiming promoting graduates and army officers to the higher echelons of the police service is risky. Anonymous police blogger Inspector Gadget asked: "Why not make police inspector a gap yah job?" Police Federation vice-chairman Steve White said it seemed "strange" to end the practice of new recruits paying their dues as bobbies on the beat.
The Daily Telegraph notes the changes pave the way for US "supercop" Bill Bratton to take over the Metropolitan Police after the law blocked him from applying for the position in 2011. But president of the Police Superintendents' Association Derek Barnett told the paper it was "amazing" that the government would consider employing a foreign national as the London force's commissioner is also the head of British counter-terrorism.
Home Office sources assured The Times that foreign recruits would have to come from countries with similar policing systems and speak fluent English. "It is not like a football manager's job," one said.
It's no surprise, according to the BBC's Home Affairs correspondent Danny Shaw, that the government's plans are proving controversial. "The Home Office is determined there will be change - but it may have to proceed cautiously."
Others have welcomed the shake-up, with Kent's Police and Crime Commissioner Ann Barnes arguing the current system is alienating "fresh talent and new ideas". She added: "It's virtually impossible to attract experienced older talent into the service because they don't have time to climb the police ladder to the top job."

Bearish pressures took hold of Wall Street on Monday after leading microchip manufacturer, Intel (NASDAQ:INTC), cut its revenue forecast while Moody's rating agency said it would have to review the rating on all Euro zone member nations. Last Friday's summit in Brussels proved to be a pivotal step in restoring investors' confidence, although Moody's noted that European policymakers are only taking incremental steps, rather than presenting a more decisive, comprehensive solution to combat the pressing issues. Ongoing worries in Europe continue to weigh down on the global economic outlook, which sparked a wave of selling across commodities. Gold and oil prices plunged, shedding 2.7% and 1.5% respectively on the day.
Investors on Wall Street will look to regain some holiday cheer as U.S. retail sales figures for the month of November are slated to come out before the opening bell later today. This economic data release may spark increased trading in the ultra-popular State Street SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEARCA:XRT) as investors digest the latest round of data, gaining insights about the health of the economic recovery at home [see Shopping For A Retail ETF]. XRT is our ETF to watch for the day and analysts are expecting for retail sales growth to come in at 0.6%, versus the previous reading of 0.5%.
Chart Analysis
The retail segment of the U.S. economy has been amongst one of the strongest performing sectors as consumers at home are faring much better than many have come to expect. Retail sales over the last few months have been predominantly better-than-expected, showcasing that economic recovery is in fact taking root. XRT's price performance has nicely reflected the positive fundamental developments in the U.S. retail sector, seeing as how this ETF is back above its 200-day moving average (yellow line) since the recent drama, starting with the U.S. credit downgrade in August, unfolded.
click to enlarge
In fact, XRT has been establishing a rising level of support, making higher-highs and higher-low, since bottoming out at $43.50 a share on 8/19/2011 [see XRT Returns].
If retail sales come in better-than-expected, investors may find themselves in a buying frenzy, in anticipation of more gains to come in the equity market as 2011 draws to a close [see Ten Unexpected Observations On YTD ETF Returns]. Likewise, solid fundamental data could help pave the way higher for XRT; in terms of upside, this ETF may attempt to summit the $54 mark, although investors should note that there is significant resistance at this price level. On the other hand, if retail sales miss analyst expectations or Euro zone woes take center stage, XRT could encounter selling pressures. In terms of downside, this ETF has support at $52 a share, while the next level of support comes in at $50 a share. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit taking techniques.

Essen 2007 releases
Funagain Games is your home for the latest releases from the Internationale Spieltage the largest consumer show of board games in the world!
As in years past Funagain is traveling to Essen (the city in Germany where the Internationale Spieltage is held every year, and the show's common name to non-Germans) to bring back the newest and best in hobby board games. For the first time ever you can pre-order these games at Funagain!
In years past Funagain has informed customers when games have arrived, but we have never before offered true pre-orders with pricing this early in the year. The list of games that are pre-orderable will grow as we receive more pricing information from publishers. So if you see a game that you'd like, but there is currently no price please keep checking back. There are some special conditions with these pre-orders so please read carefully below to understand how Essen pre-orders will work.
Games from Essen which are on pre-orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. While we strive to fill all pre-orders, sometimes certain games are only available in limited numbers, or not at all. We will make every effort to combine orders placed by customers for multiple Essen games into one shipment.
Because of the nature of international freight shipping, expected arrival dates are approximate only. Essen games should arrive shortly after the 1st of November, but unexpected delays could result in their arrival being later. Funagain does everything possible to expedite the arrival of the Essen games, but some factors are beyond our control.
Prices on Essen pre-orders are locked in. If our final price ends up being more than the pre-order price, pre-order prices will be honored. If our final price ends up being lower than our pre-order price the lower price will be honored.
Do you have a question not answered here? Then send us an e-mail and we'll be happy to answer it!

Mobile computing has changed the way we live, work, and play. Never before have so many possibilities been right at our fingertips—from instant face-to-face video calling and real-time document collaboration to anywhere, anytime Internet access. Harnessing the power of notebooks, tablets, and smartphones has become a major priority for organizations eager to gain increased productivity and performance.
Giving your users the ability to work anywhere presents a challenge when it comes to creating a secure, manageable environment. Implementing a successful mobility solution takes more than a handful of smartphones and a wireless plan—it takes careful planning. Preventing data loss is a serious concern, especially when portable devices leave your facility on a regular basis. Not only does your IT staff need to worry about the physical security of portables, they also need to defend against data loss over public, unsecured wireless networks.
Managing a variety of portable devices, many of which may be running different operating systems, can be a formidable challenge. To make certain your data, devices, and network stay uncompromised, you need robust, flexible management, advanced security features, and responsible usage policies.
With so many different choices when it comes to mobile computing, finding the right device for your users' needs may seem daunting. Thanks to powerful new processors and energy efficient technologies, there are many different portable options on the market today—including notebooks, tablets, and smartphones. Should you let your employees choose what devices they use at work? Can they use their personal devices instead of company-supplied ones?
Different mobile devices offer varying levels of portability, convenience, and performance, so it's important to consider your users' environment and computing needs when selecting a device. In many cases, users will require more than one device based on the situation—but keep in mind, supporting too many devices or operating systems can be a challenge for IT staff. Evaluate your users' workloads, and select a portable device that strikes a good balance between the features your users want and the functionality they need.

I'm at the airport in Bahrain. Nice airport. Every 20 minutes or so a message is broadcast alerting passengers that smoking is only allowed at a special area near the Gate 12 entrance; this doesn't cut much ice with the crowd already smoking at their own rebel special area near the Gate 17 entrance. Which, by the way, kills that slum at Gate 12 by virtue of serving excellent coffee.
About 18 hours to get here, via Singapore. Then another seven hours waiting for the connecting flight to Kuwait, which is seven times as long as the flight itself. No earlier flights are scheduled, so I went looking for a car to hire (the drive is about three hours). Bad idea, said everybody I consulted. One security guard told me it was the stupidest idea he'd heard all week. I've only been here for a few hours, and already I'm making an impression!
So, no car, no drive, long delay. Guess there's nothing else to do but find a bar and drink away the remaining time until boarding. Or at least to imagine that scenario, in a creative exercise involving a range of hypothetical fun situations in which I am not trapped at Bahrain airport.
Gulf Air is a fine airline. Friendly staff.
More soon from Gulf land.
UPDATE! Turns out there ish a bar here! It's down opposite the Gate 14 boarding zone. Expect fewer updates post this discovery.
am i the first to post ... yippee ... i remember getting the cheapest flight to europe several years ago and it took 27 hours ... stopped at abu dhabi ... now that was a swinging place ... now don't bring drugs back, especially if you transit bali ...

Mmmmmm, don't you love airlines, particularly international ones? Carefully limited competition, so they get to treat their customers like total crap, unless you pay five times the economy fare. And airports love to hold you incommunicado for seven hours so you've nothing to do except shop. And they blame most of this on "security" though the chance of falling victim to a terrorist attack is well under one in a million.
Sorry about the rant, but airports and airlines are really terrible.
Ah, heavily drunk is the only way to travel anywhere by plane! I imagine if I ever did decide to fly from Orlando to Australia I'd end up needing a liver transplant once I landed.Posted by Andrea Harris, Administrator on 2005 04 30 at 08:08 AM • permalink

I'm pretty sure Bahrain is an island. That might have something to do with it.
Where's the Guinness World Records ... I'm hitting the fart sack and going to sleep ... cheers ...
It is an island…connected to Saudia Arabia by causeway.

Having just left bahrain, I'd have to say it's a bad idea to drive to KU because you have to transit Saudi, which I don't think you can go through w/out a visa. Also, it's at least 400 miles - it's about 1 hour in an C-130 between KU Intl and Bahrain.
Parking in BAH isn't really an issue.
Yes, there is a bridge to Saudi, but I had a taxi driver tell me he'd only been there once - he was Bahraini and had nothing good to say about his neighbors.
The Bahrain airport is nicer than Kuwait's. Bahrain in general is nicer than Kuwait - if only because you can get a drink there. Both countries have Starbucks, so that's somewhat redeeming. Kuwait's airport has 2 24/7 Starbucks which is surprising considering how small it is.
Unless the rules have changed in the last 2 years, you can smoke anywhere in the KU airport except the immigration/customs section.
Tim, there's an HMAS ship doing important work at the north end of the gulf. It would be a good story if you could get out to the ship and also the things it's protecting.
Do they still have all the F1 swag in the duty free area?
Someone want to clue me in as to why driving from Kuwait to Bahrain is such a bad idea? Poor roads? Having to drive through Saudi Arabia? Lack of parking on the island?
Let's see…..desert, bandits, greedy customs officials, bandits, maybe terrorists (remember Iraq, just north of Kuwait?). And it's not a short drive, more like a full day or two. I'm not sure about the logistics, but I expect that paying for a car, gas, and customs fees would cost more than an airplane ticket, given the relative lack of infrastructure here in the Middle East. I'd do it in an organized convoy, but alone? Nope.Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 04 30 at 01:53 PM • permalink
Well, Tim did go through one of the few Middle Eastern nations to allow alcoholic drinks within their borders. I'm sure that he took great comfort in that fact. ;)Posted by The_Real_JeffS on 2005 04 30 at 03:47 PM • permalink
This may be a silly thing to point out, but if you are flying business class on Gulf Air you can ask for a pair of pyjamas and the stewards will give them to you (the bag the pyjamas come in is better than the pyjamas - but my son has been wearing the pyjamas for 18 months and he still likes them).
Emirates leaves Gulf Air for dead, just as Dubai airport make Bahrain's for dead.
My then-fiance and I had a brief stopover in Bahrain in the days when Qantas stopped there en-route to Heathrow. She was unsettled how every pair of Arab eyes followed her around the concourse (she is blonde)- and the other female passengers as well. They obviously didn't see many Western women. She couldn't wait to get out of the place.Posted by walterplinge on 2005 05 01 at 12:15 AM • permalink
Another problem in the desert is the notorious vision-impaired terrorists:
CAIRO (Reuters) - Two veiled women opened fire on a tourist bus in southern Cairo on Saturday but missed, Cairo Security Director Nabil el-Azabi said.
Security officers at the scene said one of the attackers then shot dead the other, before shooting and wounding herself.
I guess wearing the veil of oppression makes it difficult to aim those weapons.Posted by Evil Pundit on 2005 05 01 at 12:30 AM • permalink

ahhh ... being blonde has its advantages & disadvantages ... my aunty travelled to china when it first opened up to tourists about 20 years ago, or maybe a smidgen later ... she is strikingly blonde and she became the centre of attraction wherever she went in the china of the day ... she felt very embarrassed ... stevo
How do you miss a bus with an AK-47? It's designed for badly trained goons to use…Posted by richard mcenroe on 2005 05 01 at 04:43 PM • permalink

My doctor wants to use Radiesse in my cheek area to help add a touch of volume which he says will help smooth the under eye bags that I'm starting to get. I would rather try this route than have something injected in my tear trough or delicate skin around the eyes. Thoughts or photos on how this might help. He's talking about .5 in each cheek area for a subtle improvement.
Radiesse in Cheeks to Help for Under Eye Bags?
Doctor Answers 14
Radiesse to cheeks, or undereye fillers
Without a photo, we are all guessing here. Adding some volume to the upper cheek region can somewhat help with undereye bags, but it really depends on what type of bags you have and what type of volume loss we are talking about. More often than not, I prefer to address the issue the patient wants fixed - in your case, doing an HA filler to the tear troughs - rather than start with the cheeks and Radiesse because I have a feeling that either way, you're going to want HA filler to the tear trough region. The other thing I would give you caution about is that removing an HA filler under the eye is a great deal easier than Radiesse. If you've never had filler before, I don't remotely suggest you start with a filler like Radiesse as it's not possible to dissolve or change it if you don't like it.
Cheek volume with Radiesse
My patients are always very happy when we use Radiesse to add volume to the cheek area. Amount to be injected varies, and it is best to use a trusted injector. Best of luck!
Radiesse injections in Los Angeles
Radiesse works very well in the upper cheek, immediately below the cheek-lid junction. This will help transition your tear troughs well.

Radiesse in Cheeks to Help for Under Eye Bags?
Radiesse in Cheeks - yes; for Under Eye Bags - not so sure. Radiesse is an excellent filler when used to increase the volume of the cheeks, nasolabial folds and other parts of the face. I think that an HA is more appropriate for the thin skin of the tear troughs. For extensive bags under the eyes (nothing personal, of course) surgical removal, combined with injectable fillers, may give the best results.
I hope that this helps and good luck,

Radiesse in Cheeks to Help for Under Eye Bags?
If you want the tear trough filled to minimize bags, then an HA filler like Restylane to the tear trough is better than injecting Radiesse in the cheek. If you have malar bags, Radiesse to the cheek to blend the transition can be entertained. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA
Web reference: http://www.hughesplasticsurgery.com
Radiesse in the cheeks
Radiesse can help build up your cheeks and soften the transition from your lower eyelid to your cheek. If you go this route, make sure the injections are deep and only in the cheek (not the tear trough).
That being said, I love hyaluronic acid in the tear troughs. It is safe if performed by an experienced injector. The results can be dramatic and long lived (1-2 years in some).
Radiesse in Cheeks to Help for Under Eye Bags?
Radiesse will augment your cheeks though 1mL total does not usually create a dramatic effect. This type of treatment does not usually camouflage undereye bags. Most plastic surgeon and dermatologists will use either hyaluronic acid type fillers such as Juvederm in the undereye as it has a lower risk of complications in this area and can be dissolved with Vitrase if needed. I hope this information is helpful.
Stephen Weber MD, FACS
Lone Tree Facial Plastic Surgeon
Web reference: http://weberfacialplasticsurgery.com/facial-dermal-fillers/
Cheek Radiesse to fill tear troughs
I recommend Restylane under the eyes. It can be combined with Radiesse in the cheek area. Injections of .5 cc may be unsufficient to address these areas but it is impossible to evaluate in the absence of photos.
Radiesse for Under Eye Bags
Without a picture it is almost impossible to give any real advice. However, injection of anything in the cheeks rarely gives any improvement to the under eye areas. 0.5 cc in the cheek also rarely makes much difference. Instead you need to inject on top of the orbital rim to improve this area. This is usually done with a Hyaluronic Acid filler like Restylane or Bolatero since it can be improved with hyalurondase if too much is placed. Only very skilled injectors should use Radiesse here since there is no reversal agent.
Radiesse in Cheeks to Help Under Eyes
A picture would be helpful to see which product you would be best suited for, Radiesse or a hyaluronic acid, like Restylane or Belotero. In my practice, if a patient has volume loss in cheek region and under eye circles, I will often do what your doctor has suggested and restore the volume back to cheek region first. More often than not, this will correct concerns under the eyes. The amount he is suggesting is conservative, which I like as well. If there is a depression in the actual tear trough, a hyaluronic acid is a better choice for this area.

Any barbecue chefs worth their weight in sirloin know how important it is to check the internal temperature of meat. Good outdoor culinarians (ones who truly deserve to wear a Kiss the Cook apron) use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat reaches a safe temperature without cooking it to the point of blackened crispiness. But besides merely avoiding a distasteful burnt taste, scientific evidence suggests that charring meat increases health risks.
Some health concerns revolve around ensuring that meat reaches the correct temperature, but recent studies indicate there might be more dire concerns on the flip side. These other health concerns stem from the production of carcinogens whenever meat is cooked, but especially when it is browned such as in a frying pan or on the grill. Heterocyclic amines (HCAs) have been attributed with the formation and worsening of prostate cancer and has been implicated in a study that shows a two-fold risk increase of breast cancer. Barbecuing also produces polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). This carcinogen is suspected of having abnormal estrogenic activity, which affects hormones in the body. Long story short: the longer meat is cooked, the more of these dangerous carcinogens creep into your cheeseburger.
If you're not interested in exploring vegetarianism or in becoming a cookout-avoiding recluse, follow these helpful tips to minimize your exposure to meat-born carcinogens:
Trim excess fat. Fat dripping into the heat causes PAHs, so trim the fat, use a drip pan to collect falling juices and avoid stabbing the meat with a fork or knife. Also consider wrapping meats in parchment paper surrounded by foil.
Marinate meat in teriyaki or tumeric-garlic sauce. Beef steaks marinated in teriyaki have around 50 percent lower levels of HCAs than un-marinated meat. On the flip side though, marinating with barbeque sauce actually causes an increase in HCAs.
Cook at lower temperatures. Most carcinogens are created at temperatures higher than 300 degrees, so turn the heat down or let charcoal become low burning embers and then keep the grill raised a little higher away from the heat source.
Use smaller cuts of meat. These cook faster which cuts down on the production of carcinogens.
Maintain a clean grill. The build up below and on the grilling surface continues to cook and cause carcinogens if not removed. In order to clean a grill, turn up the heat to its highest and close the lid. Once it's cooled, wipe with an all-natural cleaning solution such as Nature Clean's oven cleaner. If your grill is in need of replacing, do not replace it with an aluminum coated one. The aluminum has a tendency to chip and contaminate food. Get a cast iron, stainless steel or porcelain coated grill. The latter two are probably the easiest to clean.

A Democratic lawmaker has been quietly lining up support for his upcoming proposal to allow undocumented students to pay in-state college tuition.
Rep. Joe Miklosi of Denver said he often points out that the majority of states that have OK'd in-state tuition to children whose parents illegally entered the country are conservative states.
"We're talking Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas," Miklosi said. "These are states where the Republican business leaders go to the Senate president and Speaker of the House and say, 'We need a more educated workforce. Can you please pass this bill?'"
Miklosi declined to say which community leaders are on board to support a bill he plans to introduce next year called "The Workforce Development and Unsubsidized Tuition Act."
"I wish I could tell you more now," he said. "I'm not going to say anything except to say that we're building a broad bipartisan coalition to show what support there is for this."

Cool.. I'd love to hear more about your Safari.
Randy, I've had the opportunity to go on several safaris around the world. This photo was taken in Africa where I was doing some hunting. I was living in a thatched roof hut for about 2-3 weeks and my shoulder was black and blue, simply from my gun resting on my shoulder, by the end of the trip. I remember hearing lions calling every night in the distance. I think I was hunting with an outfitter called Squirrel – I am pretty sure. After awhile, these trips start to blend so I could be off a little on some details. I'll post another photo from that trip in a bit.
Very good picture ! I understand you were married recently , good luck to both of you don't know you personally but think your husband lucky man .

The grape harvest is under way in the Livermore Valley, where winemakers are pouring on compliments about the quality of this year's fruit but say there may be less of it to go around.
Reports of smaller grape yields at some Livermore-area vineyards reflect a statewide trend that many industry specialists attribute to inadequate rainfall during the growing season.
"I can tell you personally, just by looking in the vineyard because I know it so well, that we're down (in quantity)," said Jim Ryan, manager of Concannon Vineyard. The 125-year-old winery is one of the oldest in the nation and the second largest in the Livermore Valley, after Wente Vineyards.
A smaller crop could mean higher wine prices, some industry specialists say.
Grape growers statewide predict crops will be 15 percent to 20 percent smaller than last year, said Nat DiBuduo, president of Fresno-based Allied Grape Growers, California's largest grape cooperative.
An "accumulation of factors" — frost, a dry winter and spring, wind damage at bloom time and scorching summer heat — probably played a role, he said.
It is hard to predict how fewer grapes will affect the wine industry, specialists say.
The shortage likely will benefit some growers, who can command higher prices for their fruit. But the flow of profits could be soured by skyrocketing fertilizer and fuel prices, said DiBuduo, who added, "The water situation is a major concern. I have friends who are just trying to get their vines to survive this year."
Diminished crop sizes come when domestic wine sales are growing by 4 percent per year and the market for higher-priced wines is soaring.
Smaller grape supplies could translate into costlier wines on store shelves.
"The price point for the consumer is growing. It used to be $7 to $10 per bottle, now $15 to $20 is the fastest growing bottle," Ryan said.
In the burgeoning Livermore Valley wine country — home to more than 40 wineries, including five new operations started in the past year — winemakers say they are pleased with the overall quality of this year's grapes. Their praises mirror those of winemakers around the state.
"Everyone is saying the quality is looking terrific," said Gladys Horiuchi, spokeswoman for The Wine Institute, an advocacy group representing more than 1,100 California wineries.
But crop sizes, especially for red varietals, appear thinner than last year, according to some Livermore Valley winemakers.
"I expect the (cabernet sauvignon) will be less," said Earl Ault, a retired physicist who owns the 14-acre Cedar Mountain winery with his wife, Linda.
The Livermore Valley produces about 10,000 tons of wine grapes per year, said Karl Wente, family spokesman and vineyard overseer for Wente Vineyards. Statewide, California produced 3.2 million tons in 2007.
Tom Doczy, who buys grapes from area vineyards to make wine for his label, John Christopher Cellars, said a Tracy vineyard owner could only provide him with about two-thirds the amount of Tempranillo red grapes he sold him last year. The vineyard owner didn't need to tell him his crop of reds was thinner — Doczy said he could see it himself.
"The thing that was sort of amazing was when I went through the vineyards and I said, 'Gee, we don't really have to thin clusters this year."
On the other hand, white grapes seem to be thriving in the Livermore Valley.
"We're taking in white grapes right now, and so far we're seeing the expected (amount) or more than expected," said Ault. "Sauvignon blanc came in twice as expected. The chardonnay looks pretty fat, too."
A particularly hot spell in May during fruit set — the critical period when flowers transform into berries on the vine — could be the cause for this year's thinner crop of reds, which mature at a different rate than white varietals, growers said.
The ongoing hot spell is likely to enhance the flavor of those red grapes that have yet to be harvested, Ryan said.
"It's staying hot now and that's the perfect thing to make sure sugar levels get up there adequately for the reds," he said. "Quality-wise, it will be another great harvest for us in the Livermore Valley."
At Wente Vineyards, the area's largest winery — producers of 350,000 cases of wine per year — the verdict on the size of this year's crop is still out.
"I'm extremely optimistic," Karl Wente said. "But until a truck comes over a scale, there's no real way to tell what's out there."

|Graphene Carrier Transport Theory
|March 31, 2012
|In this chapter we study the mechanisms for carrier transport in two dimensional graphene sheets. We demonstrate that at high carrier density, graphene's transport properties depend both on the type of impurities present and on graphene's screening properties. Treating different impurity potentials within the Boltzmann transport formalism, and including screening within the random phase approximation, we calculate the dependence of graphene conductivity on carrier density, dielectric constant of the substrate and properties of the impurity potential providing results for charged impurities, short-range scatterers, Yukawa-like impurities, Gaussian-correlated impurities and mid-gap resonant states. At low carrier density, we show that disorder causes the Dirac point to be highly inhomogeneous. When the local fluctuations in carrier density exceed the average density, the system is in the electron-hole puddle-regime. We describe the self-consistent theory to capture the ensemble averaged properties of the puddles and an effective medium theory that computes the conductivity of this inhomogeneous medium. We also briefly discuss graphene conductivity in a weak magnetic field and at finite temperature and discuss the crossover from this semi-classical picture to the regime of fully quantum phase-coherent transport. Finally, we select a few representative experiments that provide a rigorous test of the accuracy and validity of this transport theory.

To the Editor.
—Dr Larson and colleagues have performed a valuable service by showing us that single patient, or N=1, trials are successful for the majority of patients and are cost competitive with other conventional services.1 The SPT has greater intuitive appeal to active clinicians because the patient serves as his or her own control, each experiment is seminal, and the generalizability of each result becomes moot. For the practitioner faced with an individual patient, perceptions and expectations often displace the mean, the mode, and the odds ratio as operational paradigms.2Clinicians often worry how factors important for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) such as sample size, exclusion criteria, and randomization affect the usefulness of results for individual patients. Counterinference (the application of the results of large RCTs to an individual patient) is frequently problematic. The application of clinical or experimental knowledge for the individual patient is tempered by

Fantasy Springs Resort Casino will host a low-cost vaccination and spaying and neutering clinic for cats and dogs Monday through Wednesday.
The clinic is scheduled for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. each day at the Indio casino and will operate out of a mobile unit run by the nonprofit Animal Action League. The group provides services in areas of the valley with limited resources, and the mobile clinic is an insured and licensed facility.
Appointments aren't needed for vaccinations, which vary in price.
On the same days, veterinarians will neuter male dogs that didn't get a spot at a free clinic the casino sponsored in July and August. Appointments for male dog neutering are still available -- spots for females are full.
For information and appointments, call Kim Hardee at (760) 250-8181 or email email@example.com.

Best resources to learn to do Charts & Graphing?
I've seen Amy's dk video and am wondering where I can learn even more about charts and graphing.
Just starting to double knit (the Beverly Royce way, as in her book "Notes on Double Knitting")....and am wondering about learning more about the chart and graph side of it.
I know I've seen a post over in General with a great link on how to read one....but now can't seem to find it and I could use more suggestions, as I've seen the folks here have some EXCELLENT links to all kinds of stuff!
Also, I recently had a library book out from Barbara G. Walker "Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns" about charting her way, but didn't find that very helpful. There was like 4 or 5 pages of shorthand and it all just became one big blur. I think I need something a little less intense to start off with.
Any/all welcome...and thanks in advance! :)
[Suggestion to Amy, while you're in the process of making new categories, you might just want to make one with links to other helpful resources like the ones flowing in here nearly daily now. Just a thought. :)]
I soooooo can't understand charts. Especially cables. They make no sense to me. If you get any info, pass it on and talk to me like I'm 5.
When I'm feelin' that way, I usually say "....like I'm a teenager"....but considering the subject, I totally understand.
5 is about how old I feel just lookin' at the charts even in the DK book. They say American's are the only ones lacking in this understanding, seems like the rest of the world is far more informed on the topic....they say knitters in other countries grow up using charts because it's simpler?!
I guess all 3 of us are going to have to wait until either a more informed American or an average knitter from another country comes along to save the day and our butts, now doesn't it?! LOL
i hate reading charts... i wanted to knit an illusion heart scarf, and reading the chart drove me NUTSO. I ended up going line by line and typing out the directions for each stitch, which took *forever*. The stuff that really messes me up is when one of the blocks means "no stitch".... well, wtf is the block there for then?????????????? :wall:
I think a "good" chart is supposed to draw verticle and horizontal bars to designate the pattern area from the blank squares.
If you're more game than I, you can always check out the Third Treasury of Knitting Patterns from Barbara G. Walker at your local library or interlibrary loan....but I warn you, it's very intense. Among the blur, I did see a heart pattern or two in there somewhere (I think.)
Again, I'm stumblin' here, but I think she let's ya know where the blanks are within the pattern too. She gives like pages and pages and pages of footnotes to her graph/charting shorthand.....it was just too much for me...but maybe not for you?
This is why I brought this topic up....I'd like to learn something that won't drive me insane while I learn it. I'll save the complications (or as much as possible) for later on in the skill building.
I feel like I need to be talked to like I'm 5 as well. Graphs and charts look really neat, but HARD. I need to try intarsia or fair isle soon. I think I'm chicken...loL. I found this yesterday. If you scroll down you can see the chinese calligraphy chart. This has really motivated me to learn how to do this. I took 2 years of Chinese in high school after a three week trip to China. I think the calligraphy would look great on a pillow or something. I still have a bunch of chinese books with calligraphy. Argh, I gotta figure this out!
You've reminded me of a funny story.....worth sharing here I think:
A long time ago, I had this really lousy job at a company I used to work for. The days seemed to go on and on and my efforts mainly went unrewarded. It was a paycheck type of job.
Then one day an old artist friend of mine touched base with me after many years. He said he was doing oriental calligraphy, mainly Haiku, using a translational book so he could scribe while learning new words....but was looking for small projects to sharpen up his skills.
I (jokingly) asked him if he could do "Take this job and shove it" so I could use it for a screen saver at work...while I looked for another job. Within about a week I got an email attachment with the phrase written in calligraphy. Consequently, I took it to work and installed it on my machine there. I had it on for quite some time, until one day, a client from one of the Asian countries came to visit our office here in the States.
After getting to know him a little bit (and knowing he wasn't anal retentive)...I asked him to translate the phrase on my machine....to test my friends skill level. He read it aloud softly until he reached the end and more or less finished reading without saying the end.....and looked at me with a great big smile and a laugh.....so I was able to confirm (in English) my friend is a true master!
I ws looking around a bit and stumbled onto this little page at the DIY network website: I have just skimmed over it but it seems like they are explaining how to read a chart in teenage-language there.
It might be a help?
edited again: hopefully now I've got a good clicky instead of having to write out the url in full :)

How to Create an Indoor Tent
Haven't you've ever thought of creating an indoor tent? Real tents can cost a lot of money most of the time. Wouldn't a blanket-made tent be better? You can create different rooms in the tent if you have enough blankets and it can be as big as you want!
1Get as many blankets as you can. Get larger ones for the roof, and smaller ones for the entrance and walls. The more you have, the bigger and cooler it will be!
2Find something that will hold the blankets together. I would suggest binder clips or any other kind of clip. They tend to hold really well.
3Find an area in the house where you can start making the tent. Either in your room, the living room, or even in your closet if it is big enough!
4Start off with the roof. This will be the skeleton of your tent, and it will be the part that will be relied on to hold up the walls. Make sure that it is well held, choose to hold the corners unto furniture.
5Now choose the entrance. Will the entrance be an open area in the tent? Will you need a password to enter? Or will it be like a door? Once you have decided, clip one end unto the roof for support. (If you have chosen to have a closed entrance like a door.)
6Now clip the wall that will be enclosing the tent. These will keep your tent protected from intruders. If you want to have rooms in your tent, create walls to separate the room first, and then do the outside walls.
7Now you are done! Think what you can do with the tent. If you created more than one tents, you can play a war game, create different groups, and play as spies, hunters, or even messengers. Make sure that if you want to make these game more fun, try to keep the tents in different rooms of the house, so that it can be more exciting trying the hide/spy/attack the other group. If you are a girl, you might want to pretend to invite each other over, and (asking parent's permission) sleep in the tents, and at night tell scary stories.

Island Beach Access
Key Battle Won in the War for Wonn Road
At the end of a long and contentious meeting, the Board of Island County Commissioners decided not to accept the proposed settlement in IC v Montgomery and to ask the prosecutors to resume working with Island Beach Access (IBA) to force the Montgomerys to remove their wall and give up their wrongful claims to the land and tidelands at the end of Wonn Road.
This decision was a cliff-hanger until the last commissioner spoke. It came about because a lot of people put in a lot of work. Many of you wrote to the commissioners, spoke during public comment times at the commissioners' meetings, signed petitions, and passed the word to your friends and neighbors.
Although this was a hard-won battle, the final victory will come only after the Skagit County Superior Court rules on the facts and the law of the case. IBA's all-volunteer legal team will be there fighting alongside Island County to preserve our cherished public access at the end of Wonn Road.
IBA's legal team is comprised of a small group of professionals who have been working diligently for three years to bring about this victory. The final victory will require a trial, and for that we have acquired an experienced pro-bono trial lawyer to help us.
IBA has a dedicated legal team, but there are substantial costs associated with trials. These fees include: court filings, court reporters, deposition transcripts, and expert witnesses.
We urge you to donate to IBA online at PayPal or by mailing your check to P.O. Box 197, Langley, WA 98260. Contributions made out to our fiscal sponsor, Whidbey Island Land & Shore Trust (WILST), are eligible for itemized tax deductions.
We have so few public beaches on Whidbey Island. Please help us keep what we have for those of us here now and for future generations.
Please continue to support our important work of
- clearing title to the disputed area at the end of Wonn Road (thereby retrieving our public beach access),
- adding important signage to Island County's public beaches, and
- pushing back against encroachments on public beach accesses
And for everything that you've already done, a huge thanks from those of us at IBA.
Mike McVay, President, IBA
Jane Seymour, President, WILST
Getting to the Beach
Island County offers a wide variety of beach experiences. This map will provide you with all the information that you need to make your visit. Click here or on the map to start your day at the beach.
For all you Kayakers out there, Whidbey Island Sea Kayakers has generously provided some instructions and information for kayaking around Whidbey Island. You can see what they have to offer at http://www.islandbeachaccess.org/WISK.
Interested in the history of Island County's government?
We now have the Board of Island County Commissioners' meeting minutes dating from 1853 until 2003. Take a look!
Public land encroachment is not just an Island County Issue
ICFBA is dedicated to the preservation of public beach access primarily through stopping private encroachment on public county road ends leading to those beaches but these aren't the only places in which encroachment issues occur. These events sometimes reach public attention through the media in articles like this one in the Seattle Weekly News on May 23, 2007 and The Seattle Times follow-up article dated May 4, 2012. They are not issues of disparity of class or public status but enforcement of the public right to utilize and enjoy those lands set aside for the use and enjoyment of all.
An example of encroachment on public lands has occurred at Marissa Lane. If you have witnessed this or would just like to help reverse this encroachment, please print this form and add any thing that you might have witnessed then print, sign and mail it to the Island County Department of Planning and Community Development at the address found below.
If you are aware of cases of public land encroachment in Island County, please let the county Enforcement Office know by using the Island County Planning & Community Development Complaint Investigation Form. All you have to do is complete the form, sign and date, then mail it to:
Jason Johnson, Enforcement Planner
Island County Dept of Planning and Community Development
P. O. Box 5000
Coupeville, WA 98239
If you see an article, video clip, or webcast related to public beach access encroachment, please let us know by emailing IBA or go to our contact page for other options.

Access to innovative clinical trials is a major benefit for patients of the Center for Advanced Digestive Care. Eligible patients participate in many national and international clinical trials, as well as investigator-initiated studies, all of which focus on developing more effective treatment options and making care safer for patients. Through its many Centers of Excellence, the CADC is at the forefront of groundbreaking research, ranging from monoclonal antibodies new therapies for hepatitis C genotype 2 and 3 patients without other treatment options.
A selection of clinical trials of interest to patients of the Center for Advanced Digestive Care can be found below. Clinical trial research by CADC physicians is conducted through their academic positions at Weill Cornell Medical College, although trials may use hospital facilities and equipment. Further details on additional trials can be found at the Weill Cornell Medical College trials page.
These listings are updated frequently. Even so, clinical trials open and close every day, so some studies may no longer be available. You will be able to determine if a study is still open by contacting the person listed for each trial, or Bridget McClure at 212-7465578 or email@example.com
