The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By Elissa Weller, VocalEssence
VocalEssence is proud to announce the 2014 performances of WITNESS: Stomp & Sing will feature folksinger and activist Melanie DeMore. The VocalEssence WITNESS Program is an annual celebration of the contributions African Americans have made, and are making, to our shared cultural heritage. The comprehensive school-based program is just one element in a wide-ranging initiative that also includes concerts, commissions and recordings.
Audiences for WITNESS: Stomp & Sing will feel the rhythmic spirit of the Gullah as the VocalEssence Chorus and vocal activist Melanie DeMore help students and audiences break down walls and create connections through these highly participatory workshops and concerts. Unique among other groups of enslaved Africans, the Gullah lived in isolation on the Sea Islands of Georgia and South Carolina, retaining much of their pure African traditions. Communal singing and dance were seen as vital to survival, and rhythm was deep in their souls. Through powerful spirituals performed in the Gullah tradition, stick pounding, hand clapping and foot stomping, Melanie will challenge all of us to connect with our neighbor and the music within us.
"When [Melanie] turns her direct gaze to the audience, it feels like she was born to bring a powerful message through her songs. The combination of her gentle spirit and her deep resounding voice stopped me in my tracks." – Barbara Price, Music Producer

what happened with Melkor and Sauron. Wasn't Melkor part of the Maiar and he tried to become the top dog or something?
what happened with Melkor
Maybe I've missed reading it but what happened to Melkor - as Sauron became the evil lord?
But Morgoth himself the Valar thrust through the Door of Night beyond the Walls of the World, into the Timeless Void; and a guard is set for ever on those walls, and Eärendil keeps watch upon the ramparts of the sky. Yet the lies that Melkor, the mighty and accursed, Morgoth Bauglir, the Power of Terror and of Hate, sowed in the hearts of Elves and Men are a seed that does not die and cannot be destroyed; and ever and anon it sprouts anew, and will bear dark fruit even unto the latest days.

I am using v1.2.0 of Download Protect with 3.2.1 of WP.
I set the directory of DP to "wp-content/uploads" to match the media directory.
Used the simple shortcode: [dlprotect file="Home.doc"]Home Document[/dlprotect]
File shows up on the page when logged in but when trying to download the file I get a blank page with "File does not exist. Make sure you specified correct file name."
Filename is correct, directory is correct. Permalinks is set to numeric if that bit of info helps.
Also tried new directory for both media and DP but still get the same error.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Police: Woman shoplifted from three stores in two daysJune 19,2014Police say woman stole from 3 stores
BENNINGTON A local woman is facing three misdemeanor charges of petty larceny after police said she stole items from three local stores in two days in May.
Jennifer A. Brandmeyer, 25, of Bennington, pleaded innocent to the charges in Bennington criminal court Monday and was released without bail.
The charges against Brandmeyer were based on two affidavits, both written by Officer Keith Diotte of the Bennington Police Department.
In one, Diotte said he was dispatched May 26 to Cumberland Farms on Northside Drive in Bennington.
Based on information provided by a clerk at the store and his viewing of surveillance video later, Diotte said he believed Brandmeyer stole a 12-pack of beer.
In the second affidavit, Diotte said he was dispatched May 27 to Payless Shoe Store in Bennington Square shopping center in Bennington. A clerk at the store said she saw Brandmeyer take shoes and leave without paying for them.
Diotte said police later learned Brandmeyer had taken sunglasses and said the total amount of merchandise taken from Payless was a little more than $50.
When police arrested Brandmeyer, she also had items from JCPenney, which is in the same shopping center as Payless. The items from JCPenneys totaled about $380 according to the affidavit.MORE IN This Just InHARTFORD, Conn.

Team Rios: We Preferred Marquez, Not Alvarado II
By Bill "Two Scoops" Emes
Trainer Robert Garcia admits that he, and super lightweight contender Brandon Rios (31-0-1, 23KOs), preferred to do something other than a direct rematch with Mike Alvarado (33-1, 23KOs).
Rios stopped Alvarado in the seventh round of a "Fight of The Year" candidate last October. Rios was then promised an April 20th clash with Manny Pacquiao. But not everything went as expected when two months later Pacquiao was knocked out in the sixth round by Marquez.
With Pacquiao staying away from the ring until a fifth fight with Marquez in September, Rios is now left out in the cold - and forced to enter a direct rematch with Alvarado - targeted for an HBO televised date of March 30th in Las Vegas.
"[Rios' manager] Cameron Dunkin is the one who will give us final notice. It's still not officially done, but if it happens than we're going to do it again. We preferred to do other stuff, there 's bigger names and bigger fights, but if there is no way out then we're going to have to do it. Brandon knows that this is how boxing is. We had plans, that Pacquiao was our next opponent, but this is how boxing is - it's full of surprises and there is nothing that we can do," Garcia told BoxingScene.com.
"We know that Marquez wants a fifth fight with Pacquiao and I don't blame him. We would like a shot at Marquez - but he's smart, he's a businessman and now he's thinking business. And a fifth fight with Pacquiao is going to get him so much money, and he's 39, so I don't blame him."

For some reason enabling either gzip or my CDN or both appears to wipe out browser caching.
With Gzip and CDN both DISABLED
my repeat view only has 2 request (yay!)
Gzip and Amazon S3 CDN both ACTIVE

Gzip disabled and Amazon S3 CDN

Gzip enabled and CDN disabled
my repeat view needing 22 requests (boo!)
I _think_ the gzip problem might be that the web server (HostGator Shared) doesn't support it, but I'm lost when it comes to the caching and the CDN stuff. I thought that it might be the cookie domain setting which is getting beyond my level of understand of this stuff but that didn't seem to make any difference.
Any help would be appreciated?

So, now we know what happened to Gunther's dad.
So now we see why Quill is "cool as a Qcumber"…. And why he's so welcome of Luann's affections and also why he's usually so accepting….
And in a way, both seem motivated to making better things for theirselves, given their situations… instead of being 'victims of change, perhaps they'd like to be their own personal 'agents of change'….
Just like My Mom. Always knew what we needed!
BTW, Gunther – treat your Mom nice.
" Ex -Position"
"Out-Back-Story/Domestic Re-Visions"
"Agents of Change"
Well, I think it got tweaked a little… I do believe that it was changed from 'walking out' to this….
BTW it's lunch time in Perth when this was posted.
Well, I think it got tweaked a little… I do believe that it was changed from 'walking out' to this….
And, in the future, could be subject to change again…
I have an aunt who became widowed a few months before the birth of her sixth child (the eldest child was a month shy to be 13 years old). I also got a cousin (through another aunt) who became widowed a month after the birth of her third child. The aunt never re-married, but the cousin did.
I don't think it was a sidestep, as much as a direct answer, with subtle steps… he mentioned his issues with them, at the end of his answer…the fact that he was 'mostly left on his own'….where perhaps his parents either felt that he could care for himself as a male, or feels a bit overlooked, perhaps his parents were feeling overwhelmed by having 4 girls….. or maybe they were just not accepting of his "choices in life' so far…
Well, all right! Quill needs Mom attention, and Mom Berger is the one to give it to him. This will probably work out fine, then. Though wasn't it established earlier that Gunther's dad left his mom, and Gunther thought it might have been his fault? Or that he reminded his mom of his dad, or something? Or am I imagining that?
Meh, when can we get back to Brad, Toni & Shannon? (Since Feb, 90% of the strips are about MPQ… time for something more interesting… Even Ann Eiffel would be a change for the better)
Maybe so… this does seem like the payoff so many were calling for, as to why we've been spending time with the Bergers and the deepening/fleshing out of these three characters….
That's what I was saying, up above…. it's back there, somewhere in the archives…
BTW it's lunch time in Perth when this was posted.
Out here on the Left Coast, it's currently 10:24. Several hours ago, I picked 28 pounds of tomatoes from my garden and used about 10 pounds to make a pasta sauce, which should be ready in about half an hour. Just grated the parmesan and the vermicelli will go on soon. Abbondanza!

I have a side menu that allows me to have a different color for each parent with children underneath. I recently had to add grandchildren to one of the children. While I have it working to show the grands only when the parent is clicked, they all show up at the end of the last child instead of under the correct child. Confused? Me too. Here is the code
<?php //wp_list_pages('include=22&title_li=' ); ?>

Birth - Five

<?php if(is_page(22) || in_array(22,$ancestors) ) {
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=22&echo=0&depth=1");
if($children){echo "
".$children."
";}
} ?>
<?php if(is_page(2678) || in_array(2678,$ancestors) ) {
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=2678&echo=0&depth=1");
if($children){echo "
".$children."
";}
} ?>
<?php if(is_page(2670) || in_array(2670,$ancestors) ) {
$children = wp_list_pages("title_li=&child_of=2670&echo=0&depth=1");
if($children){echo "
".$children."
";}
} ?>
Enrichment should have aquatics etc beneath it.
Any help would be appreciated, I would hate to have to reinvent the wheel on this.

Definición de billycart en inglés:
A go-kart.
Oraciones de ejemplo
- As well as the thrills and spills of the billycart racing there will be plenty of entertainment for everyone to enjoy including the Grand Parade at 1 pm and helicopter rides over Bangalow that will leave from the town's showground.
- Weighing around 70 kg, the billycart has a welded stainless steel frame with racing bike wheels and comes complete with the F / A - 18 grey paint scheme and No.3 Squadron tail markings and mini dummy bombs.
- If being beaten by a barbecue on wheels wasn't bad enough, the Air Force team and their Hornet billycart unfortunately lost against Navy at the Billycart Grand Prix in Melbourne on November 28.
1920s (in the sense 'a small handcart'): perhaps from billy2: formerly such carts were sometimes pulled by a goat.

I'm having dificulties with some Bugs:
1 - If I Save configs in 'Pie Register' from config menu, I LOST my configs in 'Email notification' and LOST all my personalized messages that I saved in 'customize Site Messages'. It is first bug. I can't save all configs: If I save one, I lost anothers (came back to default).
2 - I created an extra field to test, but after I saw that it's not necessary to me, but I can't EXCLUDE this field! I excluded, but when I click save, this field came back! The solution to me was convert to 'hide' field...

File Transfer with the Versatile GFTP
FTP and Beyond
Whether you like your file transfers with a GUI or from a command prompt,
GFTP has the right tool for every job.The GFTP client also supports advanced
features such as secure file transfer with SSH.
GFTP is a versatile and efficient
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
client for Linux systems. GFTP,
which was written by Brian Masney, performs
all the standard chores associated
with downloading and uploading files to
FTP servers, and it also offers additional
services, such as HTTP file transfer, SSHbased
file transfer, and simultaneous
download from multiple servers. The
GFTP program provides several useful
features that add efficiency to your FTP
sessions, such as drag and drop, intelligent
prompting for existing files, direct
input for FTP commands, and direct
transfer between two FTP servers.
GFTP comes in two flavors: the
gftp-gtk variant supports convenient
GUI-based file transfers, whereas gftptext
is a text-based FTP client used with
the shell. If you type gftp, your system
may launch either the X11 version or the
text version, depending on how your
system is configured.

I'm currently working on my album 'Music Messenger' . It's taking longer than I thought but I'm trying to find the right sound behind my story. A story of ups and downs, tragedy and conquest.

Everyone has their form of "Medication". That thing, or those things that they depend on to help ease their suffering. Music to me is therapy.

Trust me, Im gonna make a better logo
Im making it in
Game Maker
And it is still an RPG
Pokemon can't just be all "I pick fight and chose which attack, and hope its a critical attack". Pokemon should have actual fighting with their attacks, kinda like pikachu in brawl. This is where my game comes in.
This is a quick intro on the game. You and your pokemon will be going on adventures smashing through the place and fighting other pokemon. Just like normal pokemon games, there would be attacks.
Note: This is a rough.
Your Mother Has Past Away... Boo Hoo ! You know how that would work without a mother around. Well... Here is slightly different. Your Mother was killed, by Team Alpha. As that Prologue happens, Pokemon have been given a new look, a new way of battling. President Satoshi Tajiri says that Pokemon battling would be unfair if it's turn-based and that it wouldn't be really strategy-like, training would be boring. So he developed a way to make Pokemon fight in a different way, a way as if they were fighting in an arena.
Anyways, back to the story. 3 Years Later, the law took affect and your getting your first Pokemon. You then have a chance to show it off to your Brothers, and especially your Rival. As you beat him in a match, he will get angry at you for beating him, and runs off. There you go, off to your pokemon world. As you beat your first Gym Leader, an explosion took place in Pione. The sweet place,
sweet place. It has never heard or seen any crime or violence and such, until that day. You go discover what that explosion came from. When you find the source, that would extroardinarily change your life forever.
Pro's and Cons
- This is made in Gamemaker, so no downloading.
- It has a more fun, better battling systems
- New Items and Events that normal pokemon RPG's cant do
- New region
- Diamond/Pearl Characters
- Some Other Enemies you can fight thats not Pokemon
- Pokemon Card System
- Gym Leaders and Elite Four Battle
- No TM's or HM's
- Probably not all the pokemon would be in this game, due to lack of sprites
if you would like to submit sprites, please, don't hesitate.
- You cant catch pokemon, until ill find a way you can.
- Cutscenes, with Game Maker's amazing powers
3 Special Pokemon Attacks Each Pokemon

More when the full thread comes out.
Note: I bolded what really is needed.
Yes. I will, of course, release a demo of the first town and the matches.
I cant provide some screens right now, still animating and importing for the game, so probably i will give a screen either tomorrow or at leas tthe weekend.
I forgot his username, but you can find his thread here:
Spriters-Resource for my spriting resource.
Pokecommunity, for making me post my game when probably not any other pokemon sites can.
Please, someone post. Anything, but also posts that help.
Added one of the main characters, Lucas, in.
Ideas Section
This is where I tell you ideas, you agree yes or no, and if yes, i an maybe do it.
- PP ball: When you collect 10 of them, you can unleash a powerful move the pokemon uses.
- Evolution stone: Evolves the pokemon so that it can do stronger attacks
- PokeAssist: Little pokeballs that assist the pokemon

speed up my site but caused my CSS not to render properly with Google instant preview so I deleted the plugin
speed up my site but caused my CSS not to render properly with Google instant preview so I deleted the plugin
Normally I would not say this, but adding such a low rating to the plugin just because it doesn't work with another program that is not even part of WordPress doesn't sound quite reasonable and encouraging. Please kindly re-consider.
It's up to you though.
Hi Brett,
While checking out the reviews for 'minifying' plugins I saw your comment and have to agree with the author. As you pointed out yourself, the plugin did it's job by speeding up your site - that should be worth 5 stars. If it then caused some trouble with a 3rd part tool you might - IMO - remove one or two stars and file it as a bug - no technical adjustment will work with all tools out there without further modification (work/time/effort).
Then the plugin author can prioritize your bug - depending on how much effort it will be to solve and how many people require it ... or what ever ...
P.S.: I don't know the author. I haven't tested the plugin yet myself, but will do so soon.
I never really read through other ratings of a plugin if I'm done evaluating it for my needs, but I happened to see this thread after posting my own review. I have no relation to the author, and I have to agree with everyone that has posted in this thread - penalizing the plugin with the lowest mark possible, after stating it works, but being disappointed in your experience with another product is not only a poor reflection of the reviewer, it does the community of folks trying to find the right plugin for their needs a disservice. Furthermore, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some other issue causing your instant preview problems.
This poor rating says more about the poster than about the plugin. The plugin is great and deserves five star rating.

Some people believed New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick had fleeced Raiders managing general partner Al Davis when Belichick traded soon-to-be 30-year-old defensive lineman Richard Seymour to the Raiders for a 2011 first-round draft pick.
Many of those same critics now are touting Seymour, acquired in September 2009, as a primary reason for the Raiders' defensive success this season.
"Their front (four) is talented, deep and dictating the pace of games," said coach Mike Tomlin, whose Pittsburgh Steelers play the Raiders on Sunday. "I really think that the rest of their defense is riding an awesome wave created by the play of those men up front, led by Richard Seymour."
The Raiders boast the league's sixth-ranked defense at an average of 309.6 yards allowed per game. That's a dramatic improvement from the 361.9 figure last season, when the Raiders were 26th.
Many credit Seymour's play, especially the past three games, with spearheading the turnaround. Suddenly, their decision to re-sign him in the offseason to a one-year, $12.4 million contract seems prescient.
Seymour was part of the 2009 defense that struggled most games. There were times his immense talent materialized as he played all four positions on the line -- sometimes in the same game. But Raiders defensive line coach Mike Waufle said Seymour wasn't being used correctly.
Waufle interviewed Seymour at the NFL scouting combine in 2001, about two months before the Patriots made Seymour the No. 6 selection in the draft.
Waufle, then in his first Raiders coaching stint, came away from the process convinced Seymour's natural position is defensive tackle. So, Seymour was moved inside soon after rejoining the Raiders this offseason.
"For the first time in his career, he's playing where he needed to play," said Waufle, who spent the past six seasons with the New York Giants. "And that's being able to be in that A gap and that B gap, on and off the guard and on and off the center.
"He's such a big, imposing figure that he can dominate a game from that position. He had to learn how to play it. It was new to him, a lot of the schemes. It took some time and development."
Fellow defensive tackle Tommy Kelly said Seymour now is able to rely upon his instincts and not get bogged down juggling the nuances of playing several positions.
"When you can just get in a spot and not worry about learning this and that -- he doesn't have to worry about (much)," Kelly said. "He doesn't have anything on his plate. He can just concentrate on his man, and he doesn't have too much of a problem with anybody."
Seymour's rare combination of size, speed, strength and smarts compels teams to double-team him. In turn, players such as Kelly, the defensive ends and middle linebacker Rolando McClain are in better position to make plays.
Seymour, 31, said it took him awhile to find his comfort zone after joining the Raiders. Not only was he switching teams, but he also was moving from the East Coast and learning a new scheme.
"I was feeling my way around, just taking the time to know my teammates, the coaching staff and the philosophy, and working my way to where I could be effective," Seymour said. "Obviously, with another year under my belt it has definitely paid dividends."
Raiders defensive coordinator John Marshall said Seymour is playing at an impressive level.
"I don't like to compare players," Marshall said, "but he's playing really high-level football. He's been very productive. What's really more important is, if he's not making the play, he's pushing the play to somebody else."
Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger thinks Seymour, 6-foot-6 and 310 pounds, is playing as well as he has at any point in his career, which includes five Pro Bowl selections.
"The film that we've broken down, he's playing the best football of his career," Roethlisberger said. "I don't mean that as any disrespect to how he was playing before, but he would be my choice for MVP of, at least, that defense. He's wreaking havoc on everybody and everything, and he seems to be rejuvenated."

I rented something, paid for it, returned it and now I am receiving calls, emails, and mails from some guy name "Scot" Scruta and The Offices of Tyler & Scruta saying I owe somewhere in the neighborhood of over $2,200.00.
Then the recent letter is he mailed me a bogus facsimile transmittal sheet stating that he was filing a complaint with the state licensing board for a personal debt to the company in which I work for part time. What???
Then I get a copy of an old invoice with the words "LIEN 7-20-12" on it and "PAST DUE"; however, I never received a Certified Copy of anything? Another what??? Finally, I did some research on this guy and this so-called company and here is what I found out.
1. Not an attorney
2. Not a licensed debt collector
3. I can not find him as a LLC as they state.
4. BBB non-accredited (and the Texas BBB says there is nothing they can do to help!)
5. Has been issued a Letter of Caution from the RPS Consumer Protection Committee in North Carolina for this SAME thing!
"08AP0015-SD: "Scot" Scruta dba "Tyler and Scruta" individual who is neither an attorney nor a collection agent to a couple in Charlotte, NC, in an effort to collect a purported debt of an equipment provider from a contractor engaged by the couple has been ordered to cease and desist.
Scot and his company "The Offices of Tyler & Scruta" have been reported to the Texas Better Business Bureau, the Texas Attorney General's office and now the Ripoff Report. Beware of this schemer. Oh yeah, nice email address working for this prestigious collection firm.

AUTHOR: Tylerand Scruta - ()
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, June 05, 2013POSTED: Wednesday, June 05, 2013
First I will reply directly to Mr. Johnston's ridiculous allegations, and then state the facts in this case.
1) Tyler & Scruta files liens and handles commercial mediation cases. We are not the lawyers. We hire the lawyers as Mr. Johnston and all our clients well know. The lawyers work for us.
2). You CAN NOT be a licensed collection agency in Texas. That would be ILLEGAL. There are no such licenses provided in Texas and most other states- as this customer would have discovered if he would have done any research at all. So his rant is completely without merit. Now lets examine why he is trying so hard at deflecting the blame away from himself-when he is the one who did not pay our rental client.
a). This customer tried to rent on C.O.D. from the rental company, as his credit was declined. He paid for 1 day of rental in advance then refused to bring the machine back to the rental company for 30 days. He was NEVER extended any credit here. The POLICE had to be called and he was going to be arrested as he refused to pay or "EVEN RETURN THE CLIENTS EQUIPMENT". He did not return the equipment voluntarily, nor has he ever paid for the rental. If he would have, my office would have never been involved. The POLICE secured return of the equipment
b). Mr. Johnston burned this same rental company previously for $20,000.00!! He used a different company name and address. He thus has a history of larcenious actions and that is just in his dealings with one rental company.
c). This man does business under several different company names and uses various addresses to thwart payment from unsuspecting companies. The license he lists on his ads (8053368) was not even recognizable by the Arkansas State of Code Compliance. They had to research and find any license (0226671012) under his name-which he obviously attempts to hide from the public to thwart possible complaints on his license.
d). Mr. Johnston filed a complaint with a BBB office in Texas against my office-which resulted in him being forced to withdraw the complaint when the facts of the case were provided by our rental client. My office has zero complaints in a long tenured history in this business. We would have filed a defamation suit against this criminal if he would have any assets at all to make the case worthy of such action. These are the facts of the case and they are undisputed.

The peak is predicted at 2.78 metres shortly before 10am this Saturday at the Brisbane Bar.

Using keyboard shortcuts 1
Posted by Doug Hull,
This video shows how you can customize these keyboard shortcuts. I add ones for clearing the workspace and saving all files.
1 CommentsOldest to Newest
Hi Doug
I have a problem with assigning my favorite keyboard shortcuts in 2012b on my Mac. and a unix based cluster. When I set something as
Command (shown as Meta or Alt) + a letter
the assigned command is done, but it also "types" that letter, replacing the highlighted text. For instance, if I use Command+e to evaluate selection, it evaluates the highlighted text, deletes the selection and types "e".
There's no conflict and I never had this problem during years of using 2009b. I also couldn't find any responses since 2012b is so recent.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

My first resort would be to do a reinstall of the dhcp client software.
Also, There will be log messages somewhere in /var/log/ (daemon.log on
my firewall) giving details of the link state and any negotiation messages.

This part should be independent of 1 unless the dhcp client is upsetting
things. First call would be the output of ifconfig and route -n under
both conditions (with and without the IP), I'd also check
and any scripts associated with your modem driver.

Juan Manuel Marquez Finally Talks: 'My Goal is Pacquiao!'
By Ernesto Castellanos
Juan Manuel Marquez, the WBA/WBO world lightweight champion, has finally spoken out after weeks of silence. The former three division champion had recently met with Golden Boy Promotions to discuss the possibilty of re-signing with their company, and they offered him a two fight deal which includes a July showdown with IBF 140-pound champion Zab Judah.
Based on what Marquez indicates, he plans to defend his lightweight titles in June or July and then wants Pacquiao in November.
"My goal, the priority in my career is Manny Pacquiao. For several days I've been training for my next fight, scheduled for June or July. It's supposed to be a fight where I will defend my lightweight titles, and in November there could be the fight against Pacquiao. But the reality is, it won't be easy to get that fight," Marquez said.
"If I renew my contract with Golden Boy, there could be a problem. Pacquiao hardly accepts any fights with anyone [who is with] Golden Boy. Another way to make this fight is to go to another company, or work as a free agent."

'Woody Sez' delivers Guthrie's populist message with gusto
Bruce Springsteen — one of many musicians, from Bob Dylan to Kacey Musgraves, who are unimaginable as we know them without Woody Guthrie — once described Guthrie's music as "the core of what it means to be an American," adding that "such songs don't get written anymore, because no one knows how to write them."
That's reason enough to applaud the Milwaukee Repertory Theater's decision to give us a two-month run of "Woody Sez," in which a quartet of superb musicians offers us a glimpse of the man and his music. It opened Sunday night in the Stackner Cabaret. »Read Full Article

Fostering Social Acceptance for Wind Power
Project description
The project Wise Power - Fostering Social Acceptance for Wind Power aims at accelerating and adding certainty to planning processes of renewable energy by decreasing local community opposition to such projects, the overhead lines connecting them and other necessary grid infrastructure upgrades. The project will deliver social acceptance pathways in a user friendly format in several languages to with concrete steps targeted at local communities, authorities, developers, system operators, citizens, cooperatives as well as environmental organizations, recommended procedures for community engagement, benefit sharing mechanisms and communication on local impacts or potential conflicting interests.
In the long term, the project aims to:
- reduce local resistance to wind farm projects, their overhead lines and required grid reinforcements which should translate into shorter lead times, reduced number of appeals and, thus, increased certainty on overall project development lead times and developed wind farms;
- build acceptance of wind energy and associated grid infrastructure by empowering local communities and providing guidance through community engagement and participation in wind power project conception and benefits;
- ensure planning procedures/processes take full stock of the required local participation during project conception, planning and operation for reduced barriers to wind power development, and
- reduced lead times for wind farms and associated grid infrastructure, increases wind power and wider renewable infrastructure to reach 2020 targets.

Natural Products Association MarketPlace
June 14th - 16th, 2012 • Las Vegas, NV
Past Event:
The official trade show and conference of the Natural Products Association (NPA), produced by New Hope Natural Media, is the longest running natural and healthy lifestyle products trade show. It's the place to meet your business needs, source new products, build industry relationships, and connect with thousands of colleagues.
Keynote speaker
Dr. Mimi Guarneri. In her keynote address "The Heart Speaks," cardiologist Guarneri takes the reader on a journey of the heart – exploring the emotional heart, able to be crushed by loss; the intelligent heart, with a nervous system all its own; and the spiritual heart, which yearns for a higher purpose, she skillfully weaves the science and drama of the heart's unfolding. With groundbreaking new research and unparalleled experience, Dr. Guarneri reveals the heart as a multi-layered, complex organ and explores the new science that indicates the heart acts as a powerhouse of its own, possessing intelligence, memory, and decision-making abilities that are separate from the mind. Her book, The Heart Speaks, includes a poignant collection of stories from heart patients who have benefited from integrative medicine approaches.

Last week, we highlighted news from Florida Realtors that its research projections were optimistic for the future of both the housing industry and the banking industry. This week, we find even more good news reported by the NAIOP Research Foundation in its latest study, released this month, that finds commercial real estate development bounced back in 2011 and commercial real estate development in the United States should continue on the upswing, details here in our "news release of the week."
We have emphasized the information provided about Florida, where the commercial market remains among the front-runners but dropped in rank from 4th to 7th overall.
[You cannot read the report referenced in the news release online; however, details on how to obtain a copy are given.]
Here from the NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, on May 1, 2012:
Commercial Real Estate Development and Construction Rebounds in 2011
PR Newswire \ WASHINGTON, May 1, 2012
NAIOP Research Foundation Study:
-- Construction Spending Grows More Than 12 Percent From 2010 to 2011
-- 238.3 Million Square Feet Built in 2011, 2.5 Percent More Than in 2010
-- New Projects Provide Capacity for 610,000 Jobs
-- Commercial Real Estate Development and Construction Contributed $262 Billion to GDP, Increase of 13 Percent from 2010
WASHINGTON, May 1, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ --
Development and construction of commercial real estate – office, industrial and retail buildings – rebounded in 2011, the first year to post gains since the recession began in 2007, according to a report, How Office, Industrial and Retail Development and Construction Contributed to the U.S. Economy in 2011, released today by the NAIOP Research Foundation.
The total economic impact of the development (pre-construction, construction and post-construction) of commercial real estate during 2011 added $261.6 billion to the GDP, compared to $231.7 billion in 2010, a 13 percent increase, according to the report.
Construction spending on commercial real estate totaled $92.3 billion, a more than 12 percent increase over 2010. This spending supported nearly 2 million jobs nationally.
The increases in construction spending and activity resulted in the building of 238.3 million square feet of new space, an increase of 2.5 percent from 2010. This new space has the capacity to house 610,000 jobs with an annual payroll of $26.8 billion.
"2011 was a transition year for the U.S. economy and the construction sector," said the report's author, economist Stephen S. Fuller, PhD, Dwight Schar Faculty Chair, University Professor and the Director of the Center for Regional Analysis at the George Mason University. "The U.S. economy shifted from a federal stimulus to private-sector driven growth pattern and construction spending grew accordingly."
In addition to the advances made in 2011, forecasts for 2012 call for project construction spending to increase and to accelerate further in 2013 and 2014, according to the report.
"For the first time we are seeing across the board increases in this sector," said Thomas J. Bisacquino, NAIOP president and CEO. "We believe this is the most solid evidence yet of a strengthening recovery."
Impacts Felt Regionally
The impact of the new spending was felt throughout the nation. The following states posted the highest amounts of direct spending in all three phases of development across all categories of commercial real estate (number in parenthesis refers to that state's rank in 2010):
About the Report
This report enables the commercial real estate industry to quantify the numbers that demonstrate its considerable and sustained contribution to the U.S. economy. With this data, public, state and local governments can learn the ways that commercial development makes a positive and lasting contribution to their communities, including:
The report was produced using data provided by the Bureau of Economic Analysis, U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Census Bureau, McGraw Hill Construction and a NAIOP member survey. The NAIOP Research Foundation published four previous editions of this report in 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010.

This iReport is part of an assignment:
Glorious Ireland
Doolin... Serenity, Rocks, and Cliffs
My wife and I wrapped up our Irish Adventure in the little village of Doolin. From the moment we stepped into the Sea View House B&B, the local hospitality drew us quickly into the serenity of this rocky landscape.
The days were filled travelling to Inis Orr Island and cruising along the Cliffs of Moher, soaking up the beauty of a barren landscape. The evenings were filled with pub food, wonderful music, and of course Irish beer, whiskey and friendly folks!
From the Giant's Causeway, through Dublin, then west to Dingle and Doolin. It was a wonderful Irish Adventure.

The crash occurred early Friday in the Sussex County community of Sparta. A township officer stopped the car just minutes after the crash occurred. Police said 36-year-old Catherine Giaquinto of Warwick told cops she couldn't remember the accident or where she was going. After noticing some clothes in her car, officers asked Giaquinto to get dressed, which she did after several minutes.

A group of some 1,000 Afghans swarmed a demonstration of 300 women protesting against a new conservative marriage law on Wednesday. The women were pelted with small stones as police struggled to keep the two groups apart.
The law, passed last month, says a husband can demand sex with his wife every four days unless she is ill or would be harmed by intercourse, a clause that critics say legalizes marital rape. It also regulates when and for what reasons a wife may leave her home alone.
Women's rights activists scheduled a protest on Wednesday attended by mostly young women. But the group was swamped by counter-protesters, both men and women, who shouted down the women's chants.
Some picked up gravel and stones and threw them at the women, while others shouted "Death to the slaves of the Christians!"
Female police held hands around the group to create a protective barrier.
The government of President Hamid Karzai has said the Shiite family law is being reviewed by the Justice Department and will not be implemented in its current form. Governments and rights groups around the world have condemned the legislation, and President Barack Obama has labelled it "abhorrent."
