In this edition, we see how a UN agency is helping young mothers in Mozambique who have suffered injuries in childbirth. In Venezuela, we witness spectacular lightning storms. In Bangladesh, we meet a farmer who has introduced an innovative new organic fertilizer. We tour an old copper market in Iraq, and in Hungary, we meet an organization that is helping nurture young entrepreneurs.
Many young girls in Mozambique become mothers in their mid-teens, before their bodies are ready for pregnancy. Forced to have their babies at home with no medical care, some develop an injury called obstetric fistula, which can cause incontinence. The UN Population Fund is treating and trying to prevent the condition and help sufferers re-integrate into society. UNTV's Guy Hubbard has the story.
The Catatumbo Lightning occurs where the Catatumbo River empties into Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela. Lightning strikes there with incredible frequency on up to 160 nights a year. That intensity has put the lightning into the Guinness World Records book. The storms are also believed to benefit the earth's ecosystem by producing ozone. VALE TV's Luis Loreto witnessed the spectacle.
Bangladesh has a mainly agricultural economy, so fertilizer is a big issue. Farmers habitually use chemical fertilizers to increase crop yields. In the long term, however, these decrease soil fertility and damage the environment. So farmers are increasingly turning to organic fertilizers. ETV's Sakhawat Liton met one man who is building a business out of an organic fertilizer that uses earthworms.
For centuries, generations of coppersmiths have crafted their goods by hand at Baghdad's Safafeer market. They can still be seen there beating copper sheets into a range of useful objects. Once well-frequented, the market is suffering from waning tourism and competition from cheap factory goods.Al Sumaria's Marwa Amer met some artisans who are carrying on their profession despite the challenges.
Bridge Budapest is a non-profit association that was founded by a group of Hungarian entrepreneurs. It aims to create jobs and value by nurturing start-ups which produce globally useful products. The association also offers internships for students at its member organizations, allowing them to gain practical experience in the business world. MTVA met some of the main players.

- Address: Tahrir Square (Midan Tahrir), Cairo, Egypt
- Hours: Open daily 9am - 7pm
- Admission: 60 L.E. (100 L.E. for the Mummy Room)
Egyptian Antiquities Museum
With so much to see in the Egyptian Museum, trying to get around everything in one go is liable to induce chronic 'Pharaonic fatigue'. The best strategy is to make at least two visits, maybe tackling one floor at a time. Unfortunately, there's no best time to visit as the museum is packed throughout the day.
Without doubt, the exhibit that outshines everything else is the treasure of the young New Kingdom Pharaoh Tutankhamun - don't miss the astonishing solid-gold death mask. Other highlights include the Royal Mummy Room; the Amarna Room, devoted to Akhenaten, the 'heretic king' portrayed with Mick Jagger-like lips; the Greco-Roman Mummies; the glittering galleries in Room 2 that display an astounding array of finery extracted from New Kingdom tombs found at the Delta site of Tanis; and the larger-than-life-size statue of Khafre (Chephren), which many consider to be the museum's masterpiece.
Getting There
Bus 355 takes you to the Egyptian Antiquities Museum.

This is an excerpt from EERE Network News, a weekly electronic newsletter.
January 13, 2010
DOE to Award $47 Million to Boost IT and Telecom Energy Efficiency
The growing energy use of data centers is causing many companies to seek new ways to save energy.
DOE announced on January 6 that it will award more than $47 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funds for 14 projects across the country to improve energy efficiency in the information technology (IT) and communication technology sectors. The Recovery Act funds will be matched by more than $70 million from private industry. This DOE initiative is underway because the rapid growth in the data processing, data storage, and telecommunications industries has led to an increase in electricity consumption. IT and telecommunications facilities account for approximately 120 billion kilowatt hours of electricity annually, equaling 3% of all U.S. electricity consumption. Advances in the sectors' energy efficiency can produce energy and cost savings while reducing carbon pollution.
The new funding is for research, development, and demonstration projects in three subject areas: equipment and software projects, focused on the core components such as servers and networking devices, as well as software to optimize energy use; technologies aimed at cutting both the power loss and heat generation that occurs as electricity moves through server-based systems; and advanced cooling technologies. For example, one company, Power Assure, Inc., which is getting $5 million, estimates its new power management software could cut energy use by 50% in large server farms by turning servers off and on when needed. Another company, Federspiel Controls, will use a $584,000 grant to develop a new dynamic cooling system that employs variable fan speeds, adjustable air inlets, and wireless temperature sensors to monitor and adjust temperatures in data centers. The company estimates that cooling systems typically account for 25% of a data center's energy use. See the DOE press release, the list of awardees (PDF 17 KB), and DOE's Industrial Technologies Program Web site. Download Adobe Reader.
In addition to the new funding, DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is working directly with Silicon Valley companies to demonstrate energy-efficient data center technologies, such as temperature sensors embedded in servers to control cooling, modular cooling systems, and dynamic cooling systems connected to wireless sensors. LBNL is providing technical assistance to the Silicon Valley Leadership Group with funding from the California Energy Commission. According to a recent analysis by Frost & Sullivan, there is a growing interest in energy efficiency solutions for data centers as companies look for ways to cut costs during the economic downturn. For an average company, Frost & Sullivan estimates that IT infrastructure accounts for 5%-10% of the company's total energy consumption. See the press releases from LBNL and Frost & Sullivan.

The historic Holly Theatre in Medford will be open for public tours beginning Saturday, Sept. 7. The tours, which will explain the goals and process of the theater's restoration, will give attendees a glance behind the scenes of the building and a glimpse of what is to come.
About 20 minutes in length, the tours will take guests through the now-vacant building, exploring its history and showing renderings of what it will look like once restoration is complete.
The tour will include stops in the theater's lobbies and grand auditorium, the projection booth and the stage itself.
Tours will be led by Jefferson Live! staff and trained volunteers. Though the full tour does include some 144 stairs, an abbreviated version also will be available with advance notice for those with limited mobility. Until restoration is complete, there is not an elevator in the building.
The Holly Theatre's restoration project began in 2012 with completion of the facade restoration, and re-creation and installation of the original marquee and blade sign.
Safety, cleanup work and demolition to make way for the new second floor lobby are now under way in preparation for the tours. The interior restoration is expected to begin in earnest next summer.
Opened in 1930 and closed in 1986, the Holly Theatre was purchased by the nonprofit JPR Foundation in 2010 and now is owned and managed by the foundation's wholly owned subsidiary, Jefferson Live! LLC.
In addition to the Holly Theatre, the organization also restored and operates the 1935 Cascade Theatre in Redding, Calif.
For more information, call 541-772-3797, email firstname.lastname@example.com, or see www.hollytheatre.org.

Here's what I'm rolling on right meow! New Butcher Proto (some nice improvements on this bad boy…but you'll have to wait to see :)). I've actually been riding this for work all week and running around town on this all day isn't really that bad…surprisingly with the 26s on there. This thing is so solid!

Passed Over for a Promotion? Ready, Set, Rebound
Talk about uncomfortable. After serving as interim CEO of Yahoo since May, Ross Levinsohn was passed over earlier this month when the board handed the struggling internet company's reins over to former Googler Marissa Mayer. On Monday, Levinsohn said he will be leaving Yahoo.
While it's a tough position to be in, Levinsohn's odd-man-out role isn't all that rare. Companies often pit two or three potential CEO successors against one another in a months- or sometimes years-long horse race before naming one the winner. So what happens to the loser?
Being passed over at the end of such a competition is painful. "It hurts, it stings, it's disappointing," says Paul Winum, senior partner at executive consultancy RHR International. "It becomes a public embarrassment." But it can still be a learning opportunity.
Winum, global practice leader at RHR's CEO Succession unit, says the person who lost out on a promotion should use the experience to spark some self-reflection. "We need an accurate and realistic picture of our own strengths and development needs," he says. We may think we were the most qualified candidate, but clearly someone else didn't.
Winum recommends asking the selection committee where you fell short and what areas need improving so you can be in the running the next time a promotion is available. Be open to criticism – this shouldn't be a contentious exchange.
If the company's smart and does see potential for a promotion down the line, it may even start the conversation to ensure you don't head directly for the exit. The person for whom you were passed over may also reach out and make clear that they value your contribution.
But be warned: Radio silence from on high could indicate the company's not going to bend over backwards to keep you on and see you succeed during the next round of promotions.
In those instances, perhaps the best option is to find success in another organization.
After being passed over in favor of Alex Gorsky as CEO of Johnson & Johnson earlier this year, Sheri McCoy left the company, taking the helm at Avon instead. And Jeremy Lin, who was just passed over for a new Knicks contract and signed by the Houston Rockets, will have loads of motivation to be at the top of his game when his new team faces the Knicks later this season.
Readers, have you been passed over for a promotion? How did you cope with the disappointment?

Another day, another shooter.
but this time the liberal flunky listened to reason
Sadly, some schools here in America are so violent that the kids pretty much need to come to school armed if they're to survive the day.
I myself actually put extra weight in my scripture case so that, if I had to, I could bludgeon people with it.
It seems pretty clear that the "gun free zone" is working great at our schools. They only people with guns are the shooters and they don't have to worry about someone else shooting them. Pretty good deal if you are a killer. Not so good if you are a student and no one is armed to protect you. Instead of the "gun free zone" sign, every school should have signs that read: "teachers and staff are armed'".
Meanwhile in Iowa a home owner blasts an escaped convict who broke into her home…
So tell me my hero what do you think of these things?
Douglas LittlePhoenix Gun Rights Examiner
May 28, 2013
Two new studies released at the beginning of May 2013 have shown that the primary factor in the reduction of the number of gun homicides and violent gun crimes is not gun control, but rather the proliferation of legal gun ownership.
New research shows there are more guns but less gun crime in New South Wales, Australia. Although the number of legally owned firearms has increased substantially over the past decade, firearm crime has decreased.
As gun ownership has increased dramatically, gun-related violent crimes have gradually decreased over the past six years in the state of Virginia, according to a new analysis.
So there are those that hold a different opinion than you. Personally, I don't think the gun has a dog gone thing to do with one person deciding to kill others. NO gun? Why there are many ways to kill.
But go ahead and remove all guns from legal ownership. Do you expect the criminals to meekly turn over their arms?
another day, another school shooting. no problem here. move along, nothing to see.
Don't pay attention to the tea party conservatives on this page. They can't understand anybody else having a different opinion. They think they are always right. They only listen to themselves. They are in their own world.
Mayor Mike McGinn plans to unveil a program Monday to encourage Seattle businesses to go "gun free" by not allowing customers to carry firearms inside their establishments.
About a dozen businesses have already signed up for a "Gun Free Zone" decal, including Cafe Racer, where a customer shot and killed four others last year. Other participants include Neumos, Oddfellows Cafe & Bar, Sweatbox Yoga and Cupcake Royale, with more expected in the coming days.
"This is something businesses can do to be on the front lines of preventing gun violence," said Ralph Fascitelli, board president of Washington CeaseFire, a gun-control group that approached McGinn three months ago with the idea and has since been recruiting participants. "It's a good incremental step."
The small print should warn people to sit near an emergency exit door for when a mad person with a gun bursts in and make a quick escape as they wouldn't be able to protect themselves otherwise.
You're 61? Well that explains it. You're a product of the hippie movement. Says it all.
@Patrick Hewitt
Wow, talk about the kettle calling the pot black.
Bur, where are the granades?
So by this statement to Omnius, YOU Patrick are guilty of the EXACT same thing of which you accuse "tea party conservatives".
Don't you understand that we see your different opinion and raise you ours?
No one forces you to arm yourself, to protect anything that you value in any way.
When the criminal breaks into your house, you are free to show him/her where all the goods are and offer no resistance as that criminal binds you to the bed and……well…maybe there is no and. Care to bet your life on it?
Meanwhile, I will hold onto my opinion that it is better to have the ability to defend myself.
Certainly different from your opinion and one I have formed over MY 65 years…..jus sayin'

High-tech Toes
Toesocks were not something I thought I'd be offering when I was first selling socks 10 years ago.
I can't say I had good experiences with them as a child and didn't see why anyone else would want them. Then we got some requests so I tried a few, and then a few more. ToeToe totally changed my impressions of toesocks, they were so comfy, fit my long toes well and stayed on my tiny little pinkies too. Over the years we have acquired quite a collection!
Along came Toesox & Injinji enthusiastically encouraging us to give their toesocks a try… so unique are they that they hold patents on their styles. We haven't had much dry weather lately for giving the Injinji a good outdoor activity testing, esp since none of us has yet to get a pair of Vibrams. So we mostly used the supplier images and have enjoyed the testing we've done so far. Last summer the Toesox toeless with grippy bits were my favorite thing and I'm looking forward to long walks on dry, if not sunny, days… if we ever get any.
In the image above I'm wearing the Toesox in one of the two new solid colors on the left and the Injinji Performance micro on the right, both in pink and I can't say I've picked a favorite yet, but the split toe Injinji is the thickest cushiest tabi sock yet and is great for long walks in sandals. Chances are very good that we will be increasing these lines in the future too.
5 soxy thoughts:
I'm so glad you do offer them, Niqkita! They're really all I wear anymore, unless I'm in need of a real boot sock (or fishnets!). And I get most of them from you!
The last time I was in town and in the store, I got a lovely pair of cotton pink/gray argyle toe socks that made me jump for joy! They've gotten a tiny hole in a toe from the wash, though, and I'm hoping I can buy more. I don't remember the brand, but it doesn't look like the "Diamond Argyle Toe Sock" I'm seeing on the site–it's a true argyle with crosses through the diamonds.
Can you tell me what I've got, and if you can help a girl find them again?
Oooh, those would have been the Tabbisocks argyle toesocks that we were only able to order once or twice and then they were gone, I still hope for their return and am sure we will have other argyle toesocks come this fall…
Yes, that's them!! They are truly socks of joy, Niqkita. I will keep an eye out this fall. Thanks for your quick response!!
Injinji are the first toesock I've ever worn and have singlehandedly made me a convert. They're the most comfortable, dry and fun sock I've ever worn!
I had to read this journal when I saw it was about toesocks! They're totally awesome, especially the ones you carry. I recently ordered some feelmax socks and I'm so glad I did. Great stuff, Niqkita!

J.P. Morgan Chase Pays $88.3 Million To Settle Sanctions Violations
J.P. Morgan Chase Bank NA agreed to pay $88.3 million in a settlement with the Treasury Department over a broad range of sanctions violations.
Treasury said J.P. Morgan Chase violated several sanctions orders related to transactions in Cuba, Iran, Sudan and Liberia, as well as broader regulations against supporting terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction between Dec. 15, 2005 and March 1, 2011.
Among the violations deemed by Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control to be "egregious" were actions that included performing more than 1,700 wire transfers totaling $178.5 million that involved sanctioned people in Cuba, making a $2.9 million loan transfer to a bank issuer of a letter of credit to a vessel tied to the Iran state shipping line, and failing to produce a document subpoenaed by OFAC relating to a specific wire transfer referencing Khartoum.
The wire transfers to Cuba were discovered by another U.S. financial institution, Treasury said, without naming it. That institution tipped J.P. Morgan Chase in November 2005, saying it might be processing wire transfers for a Cuban national through a correspondent account. After conducting an investigation, which confirmed the findings, the results were reported to management, yet the bank still "failed to take adequate steps to prevent further transfers," Treasury said.
J.P. Morgan Chase didn't voluntarily disclose the Cuban sanctions violations, and didn't volunteer information related to the Khartoum-referenced wire transfer. It did volunteer the Iran shipping line letter of credit but didn't respond promptly or completely to a subpoena related to it, Treasury said.
"OFAC determined that [J.P. Morgan Chase] is a very large, commercially sophisticated financial institution, and that managers and supervisors acted with knowledge of the conduct constituting the apparent violations and recklessly failed to exercise a minimal degree of caution or care with respect to [its] U.S. sanctions obligations," Treasury said in the civil penalty announcement, explaining why the actions were deemed egregious.
J.P. Morgan Chase said none of the transactions were conducted by their clients; they were done by clients of correspondent bank for which it processed payments.
Under the settlement, Treasury also said there were several actions taken by J.P. Morgan Chase that were "not egregious," and those included failing to block nine wire transfers worth $609,000 that were in violation of several sanctions orders, advising and confirming a $2.7 million letter of credit involving a vessel designated by OFAC as a member of the Iranian state shipping line, a $79,308 letter of credit on involving goods destined for Sudan, and a May 24, 2006 transfer of 32,000 ounces of gold bullion valued at approximately $20.6 million that benefited a bank in Iran.
"The civil settlement resolves a number of OFAC allegations dating back to 2005, none of which involved any intent to violate OFAC regulations," said Jennifer Zuccarelli, a J.P. Morgan Chase spokeswoman, in a statement. "These rare incidents were unrelated and isolated from each other. The firm screens hundreds of millions of transaction and customer records per day and annual error rates are a tiny fraction of a percent. We are pleased to have resolved these matters and to move forward with enhancements to our global OFAC compliance program."
J.P. Morgan Chase is the latest bank to settle with Treasury over sanctions issues, though the focus has previously been on foreign financial institutions. Barclays PLC agreed to pay $298 million last year, admitting to processing payments to the U.S. from clients in Cuba, Sudan and other places under U.S. sanctions. Lloyds Banking Group PLC agreed to pay a $350 million settlement, and Credit Suisse Group AG paid $536 million in 2009.
OFAC, however, noted that J.P. Morgan Chase's fine was "mitigated" based on its "substantial cooperation, including conducting an historical transaction review at OFAC's request, and entering into tolling agreements with OFAC."

In 1923, First Lady Grace Coolidge, wife of President Calvin Coolidge, would start the tradition of lighting the National Christmas Tree at the White House in Washington DC. On Christmas Eve of 1923, the first tree was a 48 ft. balsam fir from Coolidge's native state of Vermont, lit on the south side of the White House area called the Ellipse.
Today the tree is a 26 ft. evergreen from New Jersey that replaces the 40 ft. Colorado blue spruce from York, PA that blew down last February, and had been planted on the Ellipse in 1978. Not to be confused with the Capitol Christmas Tree – which is cut down from a different National Forest each year and brought to Washington with decorations from its home state – the National Christmas Tree grows in the Ellipse year-round and is a permanent fixture in Washington.
The National Christmas Tree is no longer lit on Christmas Eve, but on December 1 at 5pm by the President and his family with military bands playing. The Christmas Tree is not the only decoration; there is now a Yule log, a large scale model train, and a Santa's workshop that stay on the Ellipse until January 1 to enjoy throughout the Christmas season.
Other favorite holiday celebrations and exhibits in DC are:
Union Station Norwegian Model Train Display thru Jan. 1
Holiday Magic at the United States Botanical Gardens thru Jan. 1
National Cathedral Handel's Messiah by combined choirs Dec. 2, 3, 4
JFK Performing Arts Center Nutcracker by NSO Dec. 15-18
A Christmas Carol at Ford's Theatre thru Dec. 31
If that is not enough then you can lace up your skates or rent some and try your skills at ice skating on the rink at the National Sculpture Gardens across from the National Archives.

Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin….I just love pumpkins! When this time of year rolls around I just get giddy when I walk into a grocery store and find pumpkins stacked all over.
The other day I ran into the store, leaving my husband in the truck, assuring him that I didn't need his help because I only needed one thing. WRONG! As soon as I walked through those automatic opening doors, spreading apart for my grand entry…there they were.
Gorgeous, orange, robust pumpkins! I swear they just hopped into my arms. What was one to do? I didn't grab a cart on the way in but that didn't detour me.
I found a hand-basket and loaded it up, then I found another hand basket and loaded it up too! Hey, I had to balance myself and give both arms a good workout didn't I? I waddled out to the truck with 4 double bagged bags in hand. Move over Jane Fonda, da' pumpkins are in da'house!
Don't forget to subscribe to get regular email updates, from my kitchen to yours. Blessings, amie sue
Yields roughly 12 cups dried
One of the greatest joys when creating raw food recipes is experimenting with different ingredients… a practice that I highly encourage. Daily I get questions regarding substitutions. Of course we all might have different dietary needs and tastes which could necessitate altering a recipe. I love to share with you what I create for myself, my husband, friends and family. I spend a lot of time selecting the right ingredients with a particular goal in mind, looking to build a certain flavor and texture.
So as you experiment with substitutions, remember they are what they sound like, they are substitutes for the preferred item. Generally they are not going to behave, taste, or have the same texture as the suggested ingredient. Some may work, and others may not and I can't promise what the results will be unless I've tried them myself. So have fun, don't be afraid, and remember, substituting is how I discovered many of my unique dishes.
Can I please have some tomorrow morning? Thank you! :) If it could be only that easy. Haha!
I love the picture, the pot is so cute, so old fashioned, just like pumpkins which I adore just like you! Enjoyed your story, somehow I can see you hubby's face when you walked back to the truck with all your bags! He was probably thinking: oh no, what is she up to now? Haha!
Hi Amie-Sue
Love your website! Just three things:
1) in this recipe method you mention walnuts but I can't see walnuts on the ingredients list. Am I missing something?
2) under raw techniques and soaking nuts, seeds and grains I don't really find anything on soaking pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds other than time in the list. What is best for soaking them with…apple cider vinegar or salt?
3) Why is it sometimes sea salt and sometimes rock salt…does it matter which is used for the nuts?
Many thanks
I just made this with some left over pumpkin pie filling, and it's just delicious. I left out the coconut (personal taste). Thanks for another winner, Amie Sue!

Shelby Supercars has announced the name of its forthcoming, mysterious new supercar: Tuatara. Pronounced twu‐tar‐ah, the name apparently stems from a reptile native to New Zealand. The creature has spikes on its back, which SSC says resemble the winglets on the supercar.
The supercar now known as Tuatarafollows up on the Aero SSC and will reportedly offer even more performance than that car. The SSC Ultimate Aero had a twin-turbocharged 6.4-liter V-8 engine producing 1287 hp, enough to propel the car to 256 mph.
The Tuatara will use a carbon-fiber chassis with aluminum suspension components. Amazingly, even the wheels are said to be made from carbon fiber. SSC says a twin-turbocharged, 7.0-liter V-8 engine will produce about 1350 hp, with a seven-speed manual or dual-clutch transmission sending power to the rear wheels. SSC won't disclose any performance goals for the car, saying only that the Tuatara "ups the ante on ALL levels."
Rumors suggest the Tuatara's performance will best even the 267-mph Bugatti Veyron Super Sport. It is said to cost between $800,000 and $900,000, with just 12 copies to be produced. "SSC's Tuatara is about to monumentally evolve in the areas of sophistication, design, aerodynamics and sheer all‐around performance," said CEO Jerod Shelby.
Here's hoping the car flies down the strip better than its name rolls off the tongue…

'Once Upon A Time' Recap: And Straight On 'Til Morning
Today is Mother's Day, but it's about fathers and sons on "Once Upon a Time."
In Fairytale past, Hook plans to avenge Mira, blaming Rumpelstiltskin for her death. When he realizes Bae is Rump's son, he thinks he'll be the path to revenge.
A Lost Boy comes to search the ship. Hook lies that Bae isn't there. The Shadow would rip the shadow from his body if he lies, the Lost Boy says, which sounds painful. Hook gets Bae to open up by sharing his own story of being abandoned by his father, and it works: Bae tells him his father is the Dark One, and about the dagger, the only weapon that can kill him.
In Storybrooke, Gold is tempted to fray the swing Henry is on and kill him, but the Charmings show up with bad news about Bae being shot and falling through a portal. They also report that Tamara and Greg have a trigger that would destroy all of Storybrooke. They want his help. He refuses, out of a complicated feeling of guilt for having caused it all and killing Bae (who might not even be dead).
The baddies, that is, Tamara, Greg and Hook, take a pickaxe to the talisman in the mine tunnels the dwarves use. It rises in the air and glows. Viny tendrils begin circling the clocktower. Regina hugs Henry, brought by the Charmings just as there's an earthquake indicating the diamond has been activated. Henry was born here, so he will live, but alone. Hook offers to help, because he wants his life more than revenge. "Shall we stop this thing now, and then resume bickering," he says. If they delay it they might be able to steal the beans back from Fairytale. Hook says he knows where to get them.
The dwarves look through Gold's shop for a potion that will restore Sneezy's memory back (he stepped over the boundary, remember). Gold tells them that they are all about to die, which is not great news. But you can tell Gold's a little touched that they made him an extra bit of potion and said, "Don't let her die as Lacy." Gold pours the potion into her cup and into his. She turns blueish, and he calls her Belle—she kisses him. He says he's sorry to wake her up to die, but he needed her, and she just hugs him.
In the tunnels, Emma realizes that containing the diamond will kill Regina. Regina wants Henry not to see her as the evil queen. David and Hook run to the café with the beans but Henry's unhappy that they are leaving Regina to die. Henry mentions the wraith and Mary Margaret realizes they could send the self-destruct through the portal too. Emma resists but Mary Margaret says, "I know we haven't had a lot of chances to be parents, give us this one." I guess it is Mother's Day after all.
They run to Regina, but when Emma opens the pouch it's empty—Hook lied to them when he pretended to be convinced.
In Fairytale, Bae attacks Hook, because he found the drawing of his mother. Hook tells him how in fact the Dark one killed her. What Bae hears: "She abandoned me." Hook says they talked about going back when he was old enough. Bae wants to go back to The Darlings, but Hook says he can't leave Neverland. He offers to change and be a real father to Bae but Bae doesn't believe him—and just then the Lost Boys climb aboard and capture him.
Regina says she can't hold on much longer. Everyone hugs and Henry gives his mother a forgiving look and a hug. Emma adds her hands to the energy of the autodestruct and that does contain it. Suddenly the diamond turns black and they spring back from it and the vines retreat. "But where is Henry? His backpack is on the ground.
Greg and Tamara took him, because he's even more significant than magic. As the Charmings and Regina run to find Henry they see a green whirlpool showing a portal opened. Then they see Hook's ship sailing back. He gives them the bean, and though he's too late to save the town, he gallantly offers his ship and his services. Gold will figure out how to track them. He asks Belle to stay and put a cloaking spell on the town, because Greg and Tamara weren't acting alone. She realizes he won't find his way back—the boy is his undoing, but also his own grandson, so he must save him.
Everybody's so noble. "I will see you again," Belle insists, and gives him a big old smooch. "Baelfire would be proud," she says. And we see Baelfire, washed up on a Fairytale shore, found by Mulan and friends.
On the ship, Gold's spell shows that they took Henry to Neverland. Hook throws the bean, and it's literally all hands on deck. And, we see, that Bae isn't the boy the Shadow was looking for. He holds out a drawing of Henry. "Peter Pan never fails," says the wolfish looking Lost Boy.

Practical Suggestions for Disaster Preparedness From New Yorkers
Steps you can take right now to prepare for the next big storm.
A little over a week ago, the NYS 2100 Committee, formed by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo to recommend a post-Sandy course of action, released its report. As Eric Jaffe noted here at the time, the document drew some criticism for the vague and all-encompassing nature of its recommendations. If you're looking for more specific solutions to improve resiliency, disaster preparedness, and climate change mitigation in New York City, you can turn instead to a report from ioby, a nonprofit fundraising organization dedicated to environmental issues.
The people at ioby polled a group of more than 380 people immediately after the storm to get their thoughts on how the city could be better prepared for similar events in the future. Participants, who weren't constrained by the political considerations that a government group faces, included "engineers, architects, energy experts, policymakers, artists, lawyers, business owners, nurses, activists, planners, academics, media and more." The results were released last week.
So what do the people on the ground in New York's neighborhoods want to see? They came up with some "big ideas," including updating the region's electrical grid; making flood insurance more expensive to discourage building in vulnerable areas; expanding protected wetland areas to create a bigger buffer zone for storm surge; building floating boardwalks along coastlines. (Yes, the oft-discussed oyster reefs are in here, too.)

Citation: Mcbride, K. W., Greene, L. W., Cole, N. A., McCollum, F. T., Galyean, M. L. Nitrogen And Phosphorus Utilization By Beef Cattle Fed Three Dietary Crude Protein Levels With Three Levels Of Supplemental Urea. Available from: http://www.Asas.Org/Midwest/2003/03mabs.pdf. Midwestern Section of the American Society of Animal Science. No. 291. [2003] Technical Abstract: Three dietary CP levels (11.5, 13.0, and 14.5\% of DM) and three supplemental urea levels (100, 50, and 0\% of supplemental CP from urea) were fed to determine performance, serum urea N (SUN), and N and P balance. Crossbred steers (n = 27; average BW = 315 kg) were blocked by weight and individually fed the nine treatments in a completely randomized block design. A steam flaked corn-based diet was fed, with supplemental CP supplied by either all urea, a 50:50 blend of urea and cottonseed meal (CSM), or all CSM. Steers were used in three nutrient balance collection periods (NBCP) at the beginning, middle, and end, of the feeding period. Venous jugular blood was obtained at the start and end of each NBCP. No CP level x CP source interactions (P < 0.10) were observed. Steer DMI, ADG, and feed efficiency did not differ (P < 0.05) among treatments. For each NBCP, urinary total N, urinary urea N (UUN), and SUN increased linearly (P < 0.10) as CP level increased. For NBCP 1 and 3, fecal N output increased linearly (P < 0.10) as supplemental CP from urea decreased. For NBCP 2 and 3, UUN decreased linearly (P < 0.10) as urea level decreased. For NBCP 1, fecal and urine P excretion increased linearly (P < 0.10), and P retained (% of intake) decreased linearly (P < 0.10), as CP level increased. Phosphorus intake increased linearly (P < 0.10) as urea level decreased for each NBCP. Fecal P output increased linearly (P < 0.10) in all NBCP, and urinary P excretion in NBCP 1 and 2 increased linearly (P < 0.10) as urea level decreased. Phosphorus retained (% of intake) decreased linearly (P < 0.10) as urea level decreased for NBCP 3. Results suggest that as dietary CP level increased, N retention decreased, and as supplemental CP supplied by urea decreased P balance decreased in feedlot steers. As days on feed increased, less N and P were retained, suggesting the potential to decrease N and P excretion by feeding less N and P as the feeding period progresses.

uploading D600 raw images
I'm not sure where on Nikonians this post belongs, or even if it should be here, but I've got a problem. Last Saturday, April 6, I shot a dog agility event for a new client. Luckily, it wasn't a sanctioned event, but here is what's happening. After many hours editing in Aperture, I then tried to upload 220 photos to my website in PhotoShelter. They were shot in raw, but upload as original size jpegs. I started the upload Friday morning at 7:30. My MacBook Pro (new retina display with 16 gigs) has been running since then, and still shows that the photos are exporting. I don't know if the problem is the D600 photos, my laptop, Aperture, or PhotoShelter. Before I have an unprofessional tantrum, any thoughts?
#1. "RE: uploading D600 raw images" | In response to Reply # 0luckyphoto Nikonian since 27th Dec 2010Sun 14-Apr-13 10:36 AM
I would move this post to the Apple Postprocessing forum and also list how you are trying to upload - card reader, cable, etc.
The photos should have uploaded in a matter of minutes since the total upload would be a little over 3GB. Sounds like a software, driver or card reader issue. Try importing to Aperture and then export to your website. If you're using a cable, try putting the SDHC cards in the built-in MacBook SDHC card reader or get a good USB card reader and try that.

Thanks Larry. I guess in my frustration, I wasn't very clear. I imported the original shoot (close to 800 photos) into Aperture last Sunday. It didn't take long at all. I then spent a week editing, and then tried to export 220 shots from Aperture to PhotoShelter beginning Friday morning. That's where the problem is- they're still exporting. I'm used to this process using a D300S, and I was wondering if the file size could be the issue. Sounds desperate I guess.
#3. "RE: uploading D600 raw images" | In response to Reply # 0
So you are exporting 220 full size low compression jpegs taken with a D600? What is your upload speed to the Internet?
Here's why I ask.
Figuring file transfer times as (10.5 Mbytes *8 bits * 220 images) +15% packet overhead/uplink speed in Mbits/sec - this should yield the time in seconds to transfer the files under ideal conditions. Packet fragmentation could cause an issue where a lot more packets need to be sent, so the MTU size of your MAC, Internet link, etc, can also slow things down.
That's a pure file transfer view of what might be causing it to be slow. As to what your MAC is doing, you might need to ask somebody in the post processing forum for advice. I would point out, however, it you are short of disk space or memory or CPU, all that is going to effect the file transfer as well.
What I would suggest to isolate the issue is export files locally then use an application like FTP to transfer the files up to the server.
All that said, I ran a quick calculation and assuming you are on DSL with a 500k upload and are getting maximum packet size, (MTU), I come up with a file transfer time of about 17 hours and that is if you do no other Internet usage during the file transfer.
It could easily take longer if your upload speed is slower.

#4. "RE: uploading D600 raw images" | In response to Reply # 0
I think David's right. 220 images converted to JPEG full size will be pretty big. I just exported one of my 12mp NEFs as a full-size JPEG and it's 11MB. Your D600 file should be twice that or thereabouts, call it 20MB. You are attempting to upload 4.4GB, which is quite a lot. Most internet users in the US have about 1 Mbit uplink speeds if they are on typical cable modem / DSL / etc lines. At those speeds, you're looking at ten hours - assuming that they don't throttle you, and there are no interruptions. (Your D300 would be only half as bad, incidentally.)
For comparison, typical wireless networks in homes are 54Mbit or 144Mbit.
I don't think you have a problem at all, actually!

Sounds like an issue at the web site end. There could easily be a file size restriction or even some code in the site software that doesn't recognize files as large as the new 24, 36 MP image files. It's just a guess, but as the others say it doesn't sound like you have a problem per se, you're just trying to upload an unusually large amount of data.
PhotoShop and I'm sure Aperture can easily batch resize the files to a more manageable size.
Good Luck

I did a little checking on a AT&T route server, and photoshelter is connected to the Internet via a BGP connection with a Sprint router in Kansas City to an Nlayer router in Chicago, with the webserver being located in New York City, (if the NSlookup for Photoshelter is any guide). If Jim is in New York, say with Verizon, then he is going from New York to Kansas City to Chicago and then back to New York City. The latency alone can make the file transfer times double.

Thanks David, Brian, and Philip for your replies. I have to admit I only understood part of what I read (sorry for my tech ignorance), but I feel a little more confident. It's now going on 2 and a half days, but I've also gone on the internet quite a bit trying to get other work done. The count as of half an hour ago was about 91. I'm also going to contact PhotoShelter tomorrow to ask about this process. It's just never taken even half this time, but I was always using my D300S. Thanks again for your replies. Nikonians are the best!

It is probably your Internet connection, not Photoshelter, that is causing the issue. Just FYI,

#8. "RE: uploading D600 raw images" | In response to Reply # 0
If I've understood the question correctly I'd be looking to export my Jpegs optimized for the web before uploading. I use Lightroom rather than Aperture but I guess they both have a similar output option.
What i do is export as 72ppi, quality 70% and re-sized to long edge say 1200px or whatever is appropriate to the web destination.
This gives me a typical Jpeg from my D600 of about 120kb on average. Original sized Jpeg's will be simply enormous in comparison.
This also negates the recipient website from further compressing my files leading to better online quality (think Facebook uploads etc)
I hope this helps.

Good stuff, It's probably the fact that D600 files are so much bigger than D300s files.
If a customer needs high resolution files I pop them in a zipped folder and use dropbox to get them to the customer.

Sister Laurentina and the Rambler Metropolitan
Q: Enjoyed your article on the Metropolitan in the Washington Times-Reporter (Washington, IL). But I did notice a few errors…maybe a slip of the word processor!
American Motors was formed with a merger of Nash and Hudson, not Nash and Rambler. The Rambler was a model in the Nash line. The first Rambler car came out in 1902 manufactured by the Thomas Jeffery Company in Kenosha, WI. The name was later changed to Jeffery and then to Nash when Charles Nash bought the company. Nash then re-introduced the Rambler name in 1950 with the Nash Rambler.

Yup. The psychology of the Republican party is fascinating. Do they really think that this is going to turn out well for them in the end? They seem to have an unshakable faith that they can create a particular reality via words and belief completely independent of any external conditions. Results from the most recent election be damned.
Oh well, delusional people always get their comeuppance once their beliefs are too far out of sync with reality. If only the rest of us could be spared the collective pain their delusions will engender.
And O has his list of demands. Both sides seem to have gone back to the "line in the sand" mentality and are playing their petty power games. The earlier bipartisanship was an illusion.
At this point, Obama has won the tax issue. His strategy has shifted now to one of publicity—showing voters and the media how the GOP only has one issue left: defending to their party's death the right of the rich to not pay more taxes ever.
guess you don't realize that the tax cuts for "the rich" include most middle class wage earners. Folks, we're in the toilet and rapidly circling the drain.
@ TheTrustedMechanic
My comment was more in respect to bipartisanship going out the window than anything else; however, the President could say to Speaker Boehner that if he would agree to find more loopholes to close he (the President) would agree not to propose raising taxes on the rich not quite so far. Net dollar amount to come out at some agreeable amount. I know this is not a realistic viewpoint and is somewhat idealistic. After all, such a compromise would diminish both men in the eyes of their respective constituencies.
The Republicans have assembled a coalition where, if they actually govern, they get voted out of office. It's not very sustainable.
Best descrition of what happens to those who stray from the right wing program.
You win 10 internet units for that.
LOng list of "demands", not one, single, viable, solution.
Boehner said he was tired of arguing with himself. Maybe he should join the rest of the country.
why negotiate when you get what you want just by waitng
The GOP should be treated as respectfully as they treated President Obama the last 4 years.
Boehner, take that list and shove it.
"Republicans in congress will never compromise because they are up for re-election every 2 years and are still afraid of getting "Lugared" in the next primary by the Tea Party."
That was such a beautiful thing. Worth repeating.
"My comment was more in respect to bipartisanship going out the window than anything else;"
I think bipartisanship went out the window when Obama was elected in 2008. Republicans vowed to make him a one term president. They subsequently damaged the economy to try to make that happen.
Boehner talks in vague concepts when it comes to closing loopholes. He makes NO specific proposals and then claims he has compromised.
The tax cuts for the wealthy are going to expire with or without the middle class tax cuts.
AFTER the wealthy's tax cuts expire, there will be plenty of time to discuss closing loopholes while lowering rates— the basic sausage making that is the legislative process.
Best case: the sequestration could trigger the issue of complete income tax reform, where Willard might pay 33% (say) of his actual income, and even GE might have to pay taxes.
Does a lameduck have the strength to do that kind of twisting? Especially when I've never seen a more idea-deprived administration in my life… What did he run for again?

By Mrs Michelle Kennedy (Drum)March 1, 2012
FORT DRUM, N.Y. -- When Soldiers go to the dining facility for lunch, they don't often expect to see filet mignon, lobster, parmesan mushroom risotto and chocolate mousse on the menu.
Fort Drum and 10th Mountain Division (LI) leaders got a special lunchtime treat Feb. 22 when a handful of the installation's top culinary experts showed off their skills in preparation for the U.S. Army Culinary Arts Competition at Fort Lee, Va., which is hosted by the Joint Culinary Center of Excellence.
The special lunch allowed the team to practice the field cooking event, in which a five-Soldier team will be required to prepare, cook, plate and serve a three-course meal to 80 people.
The meal, which consisted of a salad wrapped in a melted parmesan cheese roll, filet mignon and lobster tail, and a chocolate mousse-filled cake with two fruit sauces, was "amazing," according to Maj. Gen. Mark A. Milley, Fort Drum and 10th Mountain Division (LI) commander. The Soldiers also displayed every dish the team will serve at the competition.
"I'm more than a little impressed with your abilities," Milley said.
Many Soldiers have represented the installation at the annual competition over the years. Milley said he believes the local team is well-prepared, and he expects them to bring home awards.
"On behalf of everybody here, (the food) was tremendous. Every one of these guys (in attendance) is a tremendous officer (or) noncommissioned officer, but none of them deserve that meal," he said, laughing.
"That meal was unbelievable. I don't think there's a restaurant north of New York City that could've prepared and served that meal that you guys served and put together," Milley continued. "That was five-star restaurant level … in terms of presentation, taste, texture and the whole nine yards. We all wish you the best of luck … and we look forward to hearing the results."
The annual competition, which began Wednesday and will run through March 9, allows not only Army food service Soldiers, but also cooks from other branches of the military -- both stateside and overseas -- to compete in more than 12 individual and team events.
Most of all, the local team hopes to bring home the coveted Installation of the Year trophy, according to Staff Sgt. Carlos Quiles, team captain and a member of 511th Military Police Company, 91st Military Police Battalion.
Quiles added that it's different cooking for fellow Soldiers versus the civilian public.
"It's more personal, because you know the people you're cooking for," he said. "(This competition) is a great opportunity. I'm glad to be able to compete again and … earn bragging rights and the experience."
The 15 Soldiers who make up the installation's culinary arts team have been busy practicing their knife skills, technique and recipes to prepare for the big competition. The Soldiers were selected by their presentations and cooking abilities at the Thanksgiving dining facility competition last fall, according to Sgt. 1st Class Leonard Phillips, 2nd Battalion, 14th Infantry Regiment.
Some of the categories include junior and senior chef, nutrition, student skills, individual hot food challenge, buffet table, ice carving, centerpiece and melon carving. Some of the events are strictly for cooks 25 and younger.
Pfc. Kelsee Demass, 2-14th Infantry, is one of the youngest Soldiers on Fort Drum's culinary arts team. Demass, who said she never cooked before she joined the Army, said she now enjoys cooking because it allows her to be creative.
"There's always something to learn," she said. "I've been working every day (to prepare for the competition) -- long hours."
Demass is competing in the student skills, centerpiece and an individual hot food event where she plans on cooking duck.
"(I'm cooking) duck because I just wanted to do something different; everybody else is cooking fish or chicken," she said.
Spc. David Navarro, 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment, has one culinary competition under his belt and is looking forward to showing off his skills again.
"It's really important to work as a team," he said. "Every single one of us has to give 110 percent. Today, we (presented) the field category, which is a team competition. There was one team cooking and one team serving, so it's a matter of the weakest link.
"The competition might look like a TV show, but this is a reality check for every one of us. It tests every single skill we have," Navarro continued.
Staff Sgt. Michael Bogle, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 10th Mountain Division (LI), may have arrived at Fort Drum in early February, but he's no rookie to battling it out at big culinary competitions.
"It can be (nerve racking) or overwhelming, especially if it's your first time competing," Bogle said. "This will actually be my sixth (competition)."
"(The event is) nonstop competition; each day is a different event," he continued. "It's a long process, but practice and hard work pays off in the end."
Because he arrived after the local Thanksgiving competition, he submitted his credentials and expressed his interest to the G-4 Division Food Services office.
"I was on the Pentagon's culinary arts team last year, and we won installation of the year last year," Bogle explained. "Usually there (are) about 15 to 17 teams, and last year, there were 251 competitors. It keeps getting bigger every year."
Aside from technical skills, the key to having a successful culinary arts team is communication and organization, planning and practice, Bogle said.
"(Winning takes) practice, practice and more practice," he said
Army cooks, regardless of age or rank, must be open-minded, willing to learn and able to take constructive criticism in order to be successful, Bogle noted. In today's Army, some of the newer cooks have more experience to bring to the table, either from experience in professional kitchens or culinary school.
"You can't have soft skin in this field," he explained. "It's not personal."
