The University Seminar on Globalization, Governance and Development, founded in 1997, is an interdisciplinary seminar that brings together faculty and graduate students from across the social sciences, especially from political science, public policy, economics, sociology, and law. Our shared interest in this seminar is to gain a better understanding of the causes and consequences of recent global economic and socio-political changes; we are especially interested in how globalization affects the distribution of wealth and wellbeing, as well as governance among and within nations.
Founded as the University Seminar on Globalization and Equity, and later known as Globalization, Governance and Development, is a seminar series co-chaired by Gary Gereffi and Giovanni Zanalda; it is organized around a series of talks by domestic and international guest speakers whose work analyzes these issues from a social science perspective, broadly conceived.
Seminars are typically held on Thursdays from 5:30 – 7:00 pm. Each seminar will be followed by a short reception allowing individual conversations with the speaker. We are pleased to invite the Duke and Triangle communities to join us for this series of public lectures.
Seminars meet on Thursday evenings from 5:30 – 7:00 pm, in Room 240 of the John Hope Franklin Center, unless otherwise specified.

I love this. Sure makes creating a theme option panel easier. One feature that I think would be useful is Custom List. Some other people might have other use for it, but for me, recently I need to build a drop down select option where the user is able to define the options him/herself.
For now, I am using the Slider, which works, but not really built for it. ;)

Firestop Products
Quick Tips #387
During a fire, a small hole in a wall or floor can result in smoke filling a room in a matter of minutes. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), Smoke is the leading killer in a fire emergency. Approximately 75% of fire deaths are caused by smoke inhalation. Firestop products were developed to prevent the spread of smoke and fire through walls or floors.
Firestop describes products or materials used to help maintain the integrity of a fire barrier, such as a wall or floor, when a penetration is made through the barrier by conduit, cables, pipes and ducting. Firestop products are used in office buildings, hospitals and other commercial buildings. The application of firestop products is governed by several standards including:
ASTM E814 – Methods for Fire Tests of Penetration Firestops.
NFPA 101 – Life Safety Code.
NFPA 70 – National Electrical Code.
ICBO – Uniform Building Code.
BOCA – Basic/National Building Code.
SSBCCI – Standard Building Code.
UL 1479 – Fire Tests of Through-Penetration Firestops.
UL Fire Resistance Directory – Penetration Firestops System (XHE2) and Fill, Void or Cavity Materials
When using firestop products, they must be applied in a way that follows the methods outlined in the standards mentioned here. This is particularly true for ASTM E814 and UL 1479. If the application strays from these methods, the firestop may fail in a fire. Local Fire Marshals and Building Inspectors may request proof that these standards are being followed and that a firestop is applied correctly. The manufacturers of firestop products offer installation guides and technical documentation that shows how these products meet the required standards.
Firestop Product Types:
Penetration Sealants – are intumescent sealants that are primarily used to seal around metallic pipes, conduits, tubing and ducting that have penetrated a fire wall or another fire barrier. They can also be used for small non-metallic pipes, conduits and tubing. These sealants have a fire rated range from two to four hours and are made in a variety of colors.
Joint Sealants – are used to seal joints in a fire wall or another fire barrier. They are intumescent and elastomeric.
Pillows – are intumescent and are used as a temporary repair for a large opening in a fire wall or barrier. They can also be used when future access is expected.
Pass Through Devices – are self-adjusting intumescent cable pass-through devices that eliminate the need to reinstall or adjust firestop materials. These are useful when future cable penetrations through a fire wall or barrier are expected.
Sleeves – are used for cable penetrations through a fire wall or barrier. They are supplied with intumescent putty which remains soft and easy to remove for future cable penetrations.
Cast In Devices – are installed during the construction phase of a building. They are cast in fire walls and barriers where pipe and cable penetrations are expected.
Composite Sheets – are intumescent sheets used to repair medium to large openings in a fire wall or barrier. They can be cut to size and in irregular shapes if desired.
Pipe Collars – are used for large plastic pipe penetrations through a fire wall or barrier. They contain intumescent material that seals up the opening if the plastic pipe is destroyed in a fire.
ASTM – American Society for Testing and Materials
Elastomeric – is any material that is able to resume its original shape when a deforming force is removed.
Fire Barrier – is a barrier such as a wall or floor assembly this is designed to limit the spread of fire and smoke.
Firestop – is a product used to maintain the integrity of a fire barrier when a penetration is made through it.
Firestop System – is a specific construction consisting of a wall or floor assembly, a penetrating item passing through an opening in the wall or floor assembly and the materials designed to prevent the spread of fire through those openings.
Intumescent – is a material that expands with heat.
NFPA – National Fire Protection Association
Penetration – describes any item such as pipes, conduits, cable, and ducting that penetrates through a fire barrier.
UL – Underwriters Laboratories
Frequently Asked Questions
- Q. Are firestop sealants only red in color?
A. No, firestop sealants are available in a variety of colors. Choosing the right sealant is based on application, not color.
- Q. What is the difference between firestop sealant and high-temperature sealant?
A. Firestop sealant is intumescent and designed to prevent smoke and heat from penetrating through a fire wall or barrier. The intumescent activation occurs at temperatures around 250° F. High temperature sealant is design to keep its shape and adhesive properties at high temperatures. They are used to repair or seal equipment that operate at high temperatures such as ovens, fireplaces and furnaces.
- Q. Who can I contact to find out the correct firestop products to use?
A. Your local Fire Marshal and Building Code Inspector are the first line of resources to contact for information on the proper firestop products to use. Additional information can be obtained from firestop manufacturers and suppliers.

- The crust is crispy with a marked chocolate taste, the pears are sweet and refreshing, and the ganache connects it all with its creamy chocolaty goodness.
Early 17th century (in the sense 'a drink made with chocolate'): from French chocolat or Spanish chocolate, from Nahuatl chocolatl 'food made from cacao seeds', influenced by unrelated cacaua-atl 'drink made from cacao'.
The first recorded use in English is as a drink made from chocolate; it was a fashionable drink in the 17th and 18th centuries. Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary in 1664: 'To a Coffee-house, to drink jocolatte, very good.' The word comes from French chocolat or Spanish chocolate, from Nahuatl (the language spoken by the Aztecs of Mexico) chocolatl 'food made from cacao seeds'. Cacao (mid 16th century) and cocoa (early 18th century) are basically the same word, also from Nahuatl. Not from Mexico, though, is the expression I should cocoa. It is cockney rhyming slang for 'I should say so'.

Dec 22, 2013 10:00 PM
Oh, it may be the holidays, but make no mistake, Paula Zahn is on the case. Tonight is the ninth season premiere of "On the Case with Paula Zahn" and, as we said and the title says, the newsanchor is, undoubtedly on the case. What case? Well, we don't know what specific story the Emmy-winner will be tackling tonight, but we do know that she is going to explore a crime, interview people in the know about it, and tell us what she's discovered and the truth behind the tale.
Past Events
On the Case with Paula Zahn
Oct 30, 2011TV Network - Investigation Discovery
People, Paula Zahn is on the case. Season five of this series is going to feature a whole lot more of of Zahn traveling around the country, talking to folks, researching stuff, and getting into the nitty-gritty of the story. She explores mysteries, she explores tragedies, and she interviews those involved so that, just maybe, you'll shed a tear (and learn something). Investigation Discovery refers to the series as 'the network's signature long-form journalism franchise.' That means that this is the series that holds up everything that Investigation Discovery is and/or wants to be. How is that not worth checking out?
On the Case with Paula Zahn
Feb 13, 2011TV Network - Investigation Discovery
In "On the Case," Paula Zahn spends a whole lot of time looking into real crimes and real criminals. Zahn not only hosts the show, she executive produces it as well, so while we won't say that you're getting her full-on, unvarnished, opinion and work here, you are getting somewhere near said opinion. According to Investigation Discovery, the show is a great example of the network's goal to 'investigate life's mysteries through riveting storytelling,' but we'll let you be the judge of that when you finish your own investigation of it.

Welcome to Paper Jam, a new feature where we highlight the best automotive advertisements from the past! Print might be nearly dead, but our scanners are just getting warmed up.
The Toyota MR2 had an unusual evolution. It started life as a funky, angular, 80s-tastic baby sports car, then it evolved into a turbocharged four-banger Ferrari knockoff, and for its final act, it transformed into a Miata fighter. As Regular Car Reviews notes in their new video, that one never quite caught on.
The year was 2001, the place was Japan, and anything was possible. Even Zagato Toyotas. Mid-engined Zagato Toyotas!
It's the first Nice Price or Crack Pipe of 2015 and to celebrate, we're going to Jolly Olde! That's were this MR2 got its Audi V8, and you get to decide if it and its in-pounds price are a quid pro-go!
Say you are in the market for sports car with the engine were it should be, sitting right behind your shoulders. You want a red one, because that's the proper color for such things. Then you check your bank account and your exotic dreams are crushed. Don't fret, this 1989 MR2 is calling you.
It never really made sense in the first place and now it's dead. You do have to love the cheap midengine sports car, though, don't you?
This question starts with two cars I very much admire: Toyota's 1980s midengine MR2, and its 2000s MR2 successor.
You're Toyota. You have a bunch of great older sports cars in your stable. Do you just let them sit around collecting dust, or do you go out and compare them to newer stuff like the Scion FR-S? The UK branch of the company went with the latter, and the results are great.
Back in the 1980s and 90s, Toyota was a formidable force in the world of rallying, with all sorts of Celicas and Corollas flying across the dirt like it was nobody's business. That's not the case as much anymore, but a number of those legendary cars have been preserved for posterity in Europe.
The original MR2 is a nice classic, but if you want something that's equally rare, better looking, faster and more usable on a daily bases, this is the Toyota you're after.
Welcome to Found Around The District, where we highlight fascinating cars we find around a city where people are too busy fighting through traffic and hunting for parking to drive anything interesting: Washington, D.C.
This picture appears to come from a 2007 Wangan Midnight forum post, and in the past five years its message has really sunk in: don't do anything like this, ever.
There's more to driving than tire-shredding hoonage. Beautiful roads and a free afternoon are all you need for a perfect drive. Having a first-gen Toyota MR2 and some of the finest driving roads in Hungary at your disposal doesn't hurt either.
One member of the Japanese Nostalgic Car board put it best. "Those cars don't even look real they are in such great shape." Indeed, the German owner of two Toyota Tercels, 1980 and 1984, has kept them in ridiculously perfect condition.
When you were a kid you probably rode a bike, and while mastering that you rode with training wheels. Before even that, you likely rode a trike. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe MR2 custom appeals to your inner child, but will its price have you asking, are you kidding?
At last year's Goodwood Festival, Toyota and racing group Gazoo unveiled an MR2 fitted with front-wheel-turning electric motors and a 3.3-liter V6 for the back. For this year's event, they've upgraded the Sport Hybrid Concept to version two-point-uh-oh.
Have a Toyota MR2 but really wish you had a Ferrari? The wrong way to make your dreams reality is to eBay for this $2,000 kit that'll help you re-badge your 'yota as an Italian supercar.
The first few MR2s we saw at LeMons races looked pretty good, but since that time the MR2 experience has been a steady drumbeat of spun bearings, thrown rods, and other engine problems. Some blame the oil pan's inability to keep the pump fed under hard cornering, while others point to the cooling system's piping. On…

Houma girl has award-winning way with horses
Published: Monday, August 13, 2007 at 11:39 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 13, 2007 at 11:52 a.m.
HOUMA -- When asked if shes competitive, Hope Floyd just grins.
"I have five older brothers, and they are always competing in something," Floyd, 12, of Houma, said. "Ill be honest, I like just about anything that I can make into a competition."
And, while she enjoys challenging her brothers in sports, video games or even an occasional board game, Floyd has one hobby thats all her own.
For the last three years, Floyd has been riding and showing horses.
Recently, she won the high-point award in her age class at the Louisiana State 4-H Show in Monroe.
She and her horse, Chief, won first place in the western-horsemanship competition. The two also placed in the top 10 in the western-pleasure, trail, English-equitation and hunter-under-saddle categories. All the events required Floyd to show her horse in front of a panel of judges.
"What someone has to understand is when I show it is fun, but stressful at the same time," Floyd said. "I always have to stay cool and keep eye contact with my horse and the judges."
The trick is to have good communication with the horse, she said, explaining that she spends many hours working on different steps and movements that the judges want to see come show time. Floyd works with Cindy Cloutier, a trainer from Franklin, twice a week, sessions that she credits with helping her win at the state show.
But Cloutier is equally complimentary of Floyds devotion to the craft of showing horses.
"Shes done an amazing job," Cloutier said. "Shes got a good attitude, and she works hard."
After placing first in the state show, Floyd moved on to compete in the 4-H/FFA Southern Regional Horse Show in Memphis, Tenn., earlier this month, a contest that pitted Floyd with competitors up to age 18.
Floyd didnt let that stop her. She placed in the top 10 in the western-riding competition in the regional event, too.
Floyds stepmother, Patti, said that accomplishment meant a little more to Floyd compared to the showing at the state contest.
"It really is an amazing accomplishment," Patti said.
Equally impressive, Cloutier said, is that Floyd posted that showing in her first appearance at the regional competition.
"I dont think Ive ever had a student place at regionals there first time," Cloutier said. "That makes it even more incredible."
While making it to state and qualifying for regionals was exciting, it was difficult to see her step brother, Will Reeves, miss out on the trip to Memphis.
"He didnt make it." Floyd said. "It bothered me for a second, but I was still glad I had the chance to go."
Even though Floyd won awards in show categories, she said shes partial to the speed events.
One of her greatest joys is riding her speed horse, Teddy, around a set of barrels.
Her parents said they chose to have her show horses before learning how to race barrels.
Floyd said a lot of skill goes into barrel racing.
"Its a rush," she said. "I love it."
She explained that simple things, like how a horse dips its shoulders or navigates around a barrel, make a huge difference in someones overall time.
"Basically, youre trying to be the one who gets around the barrels in the fastest amount time looking the best doing it," Floyd said.
Her friends are supportive of Floyds hobby and even come to watch her work with the horses.
In the future, Floyd said she wants to continue showing and riding horses.
Ultimately, she would like to secure a scholarship in equestrian at a university.
Patti Floyd said several Southeastern Conference schools have equestrian teams, including Louisiana State and Auburn universities.
"My stepmom wants me to go to Auburn, but well see," Floyd said. "Ive always liked LSU a whole lot."
Floyd said she understands that the challenge will be keeping her grades up while involved with such a time-intensive sport.
"They dont just give you a scholarship and not expect anything in return," Floyd said. "They want you to do well in the classroom. If you dont get the grades, you cant ride."
With high school just around the corner, Floyd said she hasnt discounted the possibility of competing in a sport that doesnt involve horses.

I was sent a letter of acceptance to become a shadow shopper. It asked me to go the their website and enter user id and password to activate the check they sent with the letter in the amount of $1992.20. Out of that amount $350 was to be deducted for my first week's income the rest was to be withdrew for spending on items from the retailer's. Then we were to get our assignment to shop at a retail store. I feel they were just after my IPO address. I am concerned they will access other accounts and my personal info.

In another demonstration of their flair for distraction from their own mistakes, the Santa Ana City Council is again using the power to remove members of city commissions as a diversion. This time they needed a way do distract from their collective failure to stop Mayor Pro Tem Claudia Alvarez from violating the right of Albert Castillo to address his grievances to his elected officials. The action by Claudia Alvarez has drawn the attention of the Attorney General's office.

Investigation of Santa Ana Brown Act Violation referred to Attorney General
by Claudio Gallegos •
A complaint filed by TheLiberalOC publisher Chris Prevatt with the OC District Attorney over the Brown Act violation by Santa Ana Councilwoman Alvarez has bee turned over to the Attorney General for investigation.
Oops, she did it again. Claudia Alvarez Violating the Brown Act That is.
by Chris Prevatt •
Here you have Mayor Pulido, letting a rogue Mayor Pro Tem Claudia Alvarez run public comment, along with the entire purpose of the Brown Act (Accountability) into the ground while he is sitting there playing a fiddle or something. Note to the Santa Ana City Council; If you can't handle a little public criticism you're in the wrong fracking business.
Is it possible to be against illegal immigration but for immigration reform?
by Dan Chmielewski •
  It's a befuddling question. And one sure to have strong opinions, but I pose this question to our readers. Is it possible to be against illegal immigration and for comprehensive immigration reform. And by being anti-illegal immigration, does that automatically make someone a racist? Or a hater? Arizona's SB1070 debate did bring the issue…
Independence Day Library Event Ruined by One Bigot
by Claudio Gallegos •
For many years, the 4th of July has not had a formal celebration in Santa Ana, and I believe this was a great idea for Mr. Bella to put together. Many of the organizers were set to be honored last night before the City Council, but that was put to a stop after two Councilmembers, Claudia Alvarez and Sal Tinajero threatened to walk out. Some people may say, WHAT!, how unpatriotic is that for those two Councilmembers to walk out of a presentation honoring those who were honoring our country. Well, there is another side of the story…

Santa Ana City Council Meeting Recap
by Claudio Gallegos •
Unfortunately Chris Prevatt was unable to make it to the Santa Ana City Council meeting to give Claudia Alvarez a hard time. Fortunately I was able to step in and do one of my favorite pasttime activities, piss off Claudia Alvarez. It seems to have worked. To understand the events leading up to this, at the last Council meeting, Claudia Alvarez censored several speakers who tried to say her name claiming that interrupted the "decorum" of the meeting, but allowed two former Councilmembers to mention specific current Councilmembers by name. She clearly abused her power as acting Mayor and Chris Prevatt rightfully pointed it out on several posts here on The Liberal OC.

Toronto -- John Farrell, who spent four years as the Boston Red Sox' pitching coach, was hired to be manager in Toronto, the Blue Jays announced Monday.
Farrell, 48, replaces Cito Gaston, who retired after this season. The Blue Jays were 85-77 in 2010. Gaston managed the Blue Jays from 1989-97 and 2008-10.
Farrell has never been a manager on any level of baseball. Prior to his four-season stint as the Boston pitching coach he was Cleveland's director of player development from November 2001 through the 2006 season.
He was a major league pitcher from 1987-96, pitching for Cleveland, the Los Angeles Angels and Detroit. After he retired as a player, he spent five seasons as an assistant coach at Oklahoma State.

Good value with outstanding views
Haad Rin T: (081) 538 9879
Ko Pha Ngan is so big, we've split it up into areas, select one of the below for detailed accommodation and food listings in that area. Sights and general overviews for Ko Pha Ngan as a whole can be found via the icons above. Don't know where to start? Read an overview of Ko Pha Ngan's different areas.
Suncliff is a really sweet resort that offers what is probably the best deal on Ko Pha Ngan's Haad Rin for an air-con room, with pool, restaurant, WiFi and great views.
Both fan (600 baht) and air-con bungalows (1,000 baht or 1,200 baht during Full Moon) are on offer, with the air-con rooms offering far better views of Haad Rin bay than the fans, which overlook the jungle.
The air-con rooms are built up, as the name implies, a cliff that borders Haad Rin beach. Rooms are designed in a very unique way, with a large bed set up a platform, which also features a spacious fridge and TV. Down the platform is another single bed, so these rooms could comfortably sleep three people. The mattresses vary – some being far too hard, and some very soft. A hallway leads to a standard bathroom, and a larger-than-average balcony with chairs and a hammock. Sit there are look out at the vast ocean in front of you, with Ko Samui in the distance. The rooms are not dirty, but certainly not spotless — for the value you're getting at these prices though you wouldn't expect them to be. Deluxe air-con bungalows with kitchenettes are also available.
The fan rooms are a more standard shape, but are roomy and also have large balconies with hammocks. Plus, there's hot water: an unusual quality in a fan room on the island. Three people could also easily sleep in these rooms.
This resort's property is so large that there are three receptions. At the farthest reception from the main entrance, a small-but-charming pool with adjoining jacuzzi lies about as close to the cliff's edge as it can get, providing swimmers with an incredible ocean view.
Surrounding it is a restaurant that serves up a good selection of Western and Thai dishes, including fish and chips for 150 baht, and fried chicken and basil for 70 baht. This is a cute little hideaway to chill out in, with a small selection of books provided, though the multitude of flies that land on diners and their food is a major downside. There are indoor and outdoor sections to the restaurant, and wooden sun loungers are also provided, though there is no padding.
Located just opposite Baan Talay, and around the corner from the 7-eleven, the main beach (sunrise side, where the Full Moon action takes place) is about a five-minute walk away, yet far enough away for Suncliff to be considered "quiet". Haad Rin pier is also close, with boats leaving daily to Ko Samui. WiFi is available throughout the resort, but it works intermittently. The staff are very friendly.

Hi There,
I'm using tribulant newsletter plugin to send out newsletters from my site, using your plugin and Sendgrid as the "infrastructure".
Sending is VERY slow, I figure this is because the newsletter is sending each email in a separate transaction (REST).
Is there any way to batch us the send? have WP-Sendgrid queue up the emails and send several in a single REST call to sendgrid?
I know the same question should be asked the newsletter plugin author, but since the plugin is "unaware" of sendgrid, this would be problematic for them.

The blog of the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation
By Taylor Thomas, Community School of the Arts
Though the holiday season is generally marked by twinkling lights and the celebratory clanking of shopping carts, winter traditions are diverse and wide-ranging among Charlotte families. I smile thinking about the various songs to be sung and decorations to be made within our own family of Community School of the Arts (CSA) students, but I also find myself thankful for one seasonal trend that we all can share. With the end of the year comes the common inclination to reflect.
CSA students have opened their eyes to many new experiences through the Knight Artistic Engagement Fund. As we see them reflect upon their past opportunities, we also hear them dreaming bigger, reaching farther and craving more. Though we have just begun our second year of the program, CSA recognizes how impactful the continued support will be. Through the process of observing the talents of professional artists and musicians, our students are simultaneously discovering the potential within themselves.
This fall, our low-income students and their families received access to the Mint Museum, the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, and various performances by Opera Carolina, Charlotte Concerts, and the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra. In order to gain perspective of their experiences, we ask our students to complete surveys after every event. As they eagerly note a favored instrument, a particular story-line, or a memorable exhibition, students are removing art from its many venues that in the past seemed unattainable and making it tangible to them.
In response to the Charlotte Symphony Orchestra's recent performance of Mozart Mass in C Minor, one student reveals the personal impact that one evening can have: "I learned that music is something that can't be expressed with words. I want to be a musician for the rest of my life." The hope of CSA is that our students would never stop reflecting—no matter how many holidays, exhibits, or concerts come to a close. If the past year with the Knight Artistic Engagement Fund has shown one thing, it is that as our students reflect on their experiences, they only better develop their dreams.

It is only Argentina's second year in the four-nation, southern hemisphere championship but already they have shown their competitive capability against the Springboks, New Zealand and Australia.
South Africa had to scramble for a draw with Argentina last year away in Mendoza and expect the powerful visiting pack, plus their strength at the breakdown, to be a major challenge again.
"The positive for us is that we know what to expect now," South Africa's second-year coach Heyneke Meyer said this week.
"Last year we didn't really know what to expect in the first game."
Saturday's match at the 94,700-seater complex in Soweto (1300 GMT) is the main feature of a double bill, also including a soccer international, to honour former President Nelson Mandela.
Meyer has stuck with the young backline that impressed in three home internationals in June but said the Rugby Championship would be a big step up from the matches against Italy, Scotland and Samoa.
"The main difference in the Rugby Championship is that teams are better, defences are better organised and you don't get as many chances," Meyer added.
"You can sometimes play better rugby but lose the game because the other team gets one opportunity and they take their chances."
With just two starting line-up changes from the last international in June, Meyer has stuck with a promise for more consistent team selection and resisted the urge to start with recalled scrumhalf Fourie du Preez.
However, the 31-year-old is expected to get a run off the bench for his first cap since the 2011 World Cup.
Duane Vermeulen takes over at number eight from the injured Pierre Spies while Juandre Kruger is restored at lock.
Felipe Contepomi will lead Argentina in place of injured captain Juan Martin Fernandez Lobbe, retaining the role he played in June when an under-strength side lost two home tests to England.
Argentina have restored the vast majority of the team rested for those matches after an intensive month-long training camp in the United States ahead of the Rugby Championship.
"The goal for this tournament is the same as last year, continue to grow and learn to be better players to be properly prepared for the 2015 World Cup," fullback Juan Martin Hernandez said on arrival in South Africa this week.
South Africa, ranked second in the world behind New Zealand, have won 14 of their 15 previous tests against Argentina, who are 10th in the IRB rankings.
South Africa - 15-Willie le Roux, 14-Bryan Habana, 13-JJ Engelbrecht, 12-Jean de Villiers (captain), 11-Bjorn Basson, 10-Morné Steyn, 9-Ruan Pienaar, 8-Duane Vermeulen, 7-Willem Alberts, 6-Francois Louw, 5-Juandré Kruger, 4-Eben Etzebeth, 3-Jannie du Plessis, 2-Adriaan Strauss, 1-Tendai Mtawarira.

The Doomsday Clock is an internationally recognized design that conveys how close we are to destroying our civilization with dangerous technologies of our own making. First and foremost among these are nuclear weapons, but the dangers include climate-changing technologies, emerging... Read More
Kemp is assistant professor of nuclear science and engineering at MIT and an affiliate of Princeton's Program on Science and Global Security and of Harvard's Project on Managing the Atom. Kemp was previously science adviser in the Office of the Special Advisor for Nonproliferation and Arms Control at the State Department. He also serves on the American Physical Society's Panel on Public Affairs. His research focuses on uranium enrichment and its implications for nuclear proliferation.
In July, the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) held its final hearing to license the world's first facility to enrich uranium on a commercial scale using lasers. For years, experts have warned that laser enrichment, known as SILEX (separation of isotopes by laser excitation), would be particularly good at making highly enriched uranium -- the ingredient needed to make nuclear weapons -- and that a commercial venture could stimulate proliferation.
In 1945, the United States organized a committee to investigate whether nuclear weapons should become a central military technology, or whether to abjure the weapons and, through self-restraint, avoid a costly and potentially deadly nuclear arms race. Led by Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson and Chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority David Lilienthal, the committee produced the eponymous Acheson-Lilienthal Report, which, after it failed to gather reasonable support, marked a turning point in the Cold War and signaled the beginning of the nuclear arms race.

Corning Day Made of Glass 2 video released with making-of add-on
Technology is advancing slightly slower than the minds at Corning would have it, it seems, as the creators of Gorilla Glass present a second video in a series that brings the future to us now, glass based. The video moves from one technology to the next, starting with Handheld Display Glass, this essentially stemming off what Gorilla Glass already presents, it being thin and lightweight, damage resistant and what Corning plans for the future: 3D-projection ready! The loveliness then continues through an impressive display of lights and magic through a future we can only dream of.

After researching on the web I called and ordered from Green Tree Media Group. The product was selected and money was paid. However, the agreed upon product was never provided and a substitute was offered. After a week and a half the service stopped all together.
All of the leads provided were "garbage": few months old, wrong numbers etc. I demanded a refund. Gary Bobel the president of Green Tree Media refused to refund anything at all.
I filed with BBB Online. They contacted me to mitigate a dispute. Meanwhile, Green Tree Media quickly became a member of BBB and the case went no where.
Stay away from this Scam Artist. I have read few other complaints on the web about Gary Bobel and GreenTree Media Group. Its a SCAM - stay away!!!

A History of Modern Britain
A History of Modern Britain confronts head-on the victory of shopping over politics. It tells the story of how the great political visions of New Jerusalem or a second Elizabethan Age, rival idealisms, came to be defeated by a culture of consumerism, celebrity and self-gratification. In each decade, political leaders think they know what they are doing, but find themselves confounded. Every time, the British people turn out to be stroppier and harder to herd than predicted.
Throughout, Britain is a country on the edge – first of invasion, then of bankruptcy, then on the vulnerable front line of the Cold War and later in the forefront of the great opening up of capital and migration now reshaping the world. This history follows all the political and economic stories, but deals too with comedy, cars, the war against homosexuals, Sixties anarchists, oil-men and punks, Margaret Thatcher's wonderful good luck, political lies and the true heroes of British theatre.

Its a new day
So I think I worried myself to exhaustion last night fell asleep on the couch at 10:30 at woke up there around 3:30. I woke up determined today to make this a better day.
Since I was up early I got an extra long carido session in today. I did the gutbuster 11 mile course on the expresso bike and a 2.5 mile run on the treadmill. Tonight I plan on doing a core specific workout from exercise tv but haven't decided on which one yet.
I know that this is the week before "my week"( sorry male readers) so my hormone levels are a little crazy but I am trying to put things in perspective and surround myself with positivity. I thought I would start by making a list of things that I am thankful for.
1) I am thankful for my family. A supportive husband and father, 4 smart healthy kids that drive me crazy at time but who I'm proud of and love just the same. Knowing that they depend on me to help develop and support them keeps me pushing along.
2) My Mom and Sister- My mom is always there when I need her, she watches the kids, is always there for support and is just an overall awesome person. My sister is also great, she is always there for support and was part of my inspiration to lose weight like she did. She also got me to start running and I look forward to racing again with her soon.
3) My job- While this year has been frustrating, I am glad that my company has offered me a way of helping to support my family. I hope some of the changes coming up for the fiscal year will equate to more earning and career potential but with the way the economy is now a days I am grateful to be starting my 5th year here.
4) My health- I am glad that I took the time and continue to take the time to make my health a priority. I am grateful that my body allowed me to give birth to 4 beautiful healthy children, that my legs are strong and allow me to run long distances, that my arms are strong and are able to pick up and play with my kids.
So this post has taken a little bit of a mushy turn but I need to keep reminding myself that while things are not ideal at the moment, they could be a lot worse and that I should be grateful for all that I do have.
I just finished a promising call with a client who may sign on this month so this day is already heading in the right direction. Hope you can all take a minute to think about what your thankful for when things start to get a little overwhelming.
Hope everyone has a great day.

Davenport Woman Faces Aggravated Assault Charge After Accusing Man of Cheating
Published: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 at 4:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 18, 2014 at 4:29 p.m.
DAVENPORT | Jealousy got the best of a 29-year-old Davenport woman Monday, as deputies said she threatened to kill a woman she thought was sleeping with her boyfriend, then crashed into the other woman's car.
Sommer Crosby of 205 Burbank Lane is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to a Polk County Sheriff's Office report, after she threatened 26-year-old Erina Acosta with a knife.
According to the report, the incident started Monday morning after Tarrod Lattimore, 29, returned to the home he shares with Crosby after a night with Acosta.
The report said Crosby started breaking items in the house.
Lattimore and Acosta left, but returned shortly after because, Lattimore told deputies, he thought Crosby was going to "damage his property."
When the pair returned, Crosby came to the driver- side door of Acosta's car with a pocketknife, and pointed it at her, Acosta told deputies.
"I will kill you," Crosby told Acosta, according to the arrest report.
Crosby started her car and drove into Acosta's 1996 Honda with her 2003 Mercury, the report said.
Crosby denied assaulting Acosta and Lattimore, and told deputies she didn't damage Acosta's vehicle.
But the report said there was visible damage to both cars and the damage to Acosta's car matched the damage to Crosby's.
Crosby faces a charge for leaving the scene of a car crash that involved property damage in addition to the aggravated assault charge.

Well we had a nice little celebration at the Village Inn about the results of my UGLY biopsy - it was NEGATIVE all the way!!! ;o)
I see that ROYL had their biopsy also, NEGATIVE and it is malignant! :o(
Loss/share $1.07 - millions in losses - but that was forseeable!
Just as I posted with my "BLAH, BLAH, BLAH".............EXCUSES they will come up with! When a company has to go almost back to inception (1996) to state a positive cash flow - there is a major problem!
All they got is letters of intent and not even a secured loan for the property in AK - it's a lease they have to pay for and no money to drill/develop!
If they have to come up with the lease money, they better find a buyer to sell the lease (if it is transferable) and make a "little" money, then with the declining well outputs and the bank loans (maxed out) and their "shelf shares" already held by the bank....................?
For IR call the honorable.............. BK judge! (or sell the ticker, it's worth lot's of money and the go OTC!)
Sentiment: Strong Sell
The board brasher here to say i am happy you are well. I feel all alone without you
hope all is well with health
Thanks rpgjr.........will know more on May 8th! But my/our most fear is over!!! ;o)
Lois almost came unglued when I told her that I got a biopsy to determine if it was cancer!
Both of her parents died on cancer!
Good trading and I hope all you folks can make money in the long run, but for now it almost looks my $2.50 was a little early and will come today!
ROYL needs to be much more transparent to the share golders if this is supposed to go into the right (your) direction!
Sentiment: Sell
Rowdy hope all is well ...Best Wishes to you and your family.
Hey Rowdy I didn't know you were fighting a health issue. Good to see the you are OK. Hang in there.
Good trading to you.
Thank you for your thoughts buddy "skully" and michael! I was diagnosed a while back with vasculitis, then it was stenesitis and finally venesitis - now the specialist tells me after I got a bad looking wound on my ankle he took the biopsy off that I need a specialist to be tested for "lympho-edema! The Ultrasound was also a success, so no vascular or venal problems!
my Yearly Physical was also the BEST EVER with colestoral @ 153 and glucose @90, AST/ALT and other right in the middle of the specs!
Thanks to OBIMBOCARE, which is already working, I won't get in till May 8th because the specialists are not coming anymore to our Medical Center in Hudson and I'll have to drive to St.Paul, MN!
I hope by doubling our Hudson Medical Center/Physicians, making us the largest facility in Western WI, that we can attract those services again. For the first time I needed besides my proof of insurance (or Credit Card) and Medicare a picture ID! Talk about confused older people which got dropped off and didn't have an ID - and we discuss need for an ID to vote - should be automatic to avoid fraud!
The other good news is that 3M is now thru an HCRA for my Medica Prime Enhaenced Primium!
I hope that your investments pay off and thanks again!
Good investing to you!

our site, http://www.parentingteensresourcenetwork.org , is mostly using WP as a CMS, so we can take advantage of things like permalinks and comments, but also control top-level category pages with a more designed approach.
anyway, because our categories are static I'm trying to create a dynamic PHP-driven menu to show sub-menus when you're on a specific category. if you look at the source code of the homepage you'll see sub-menus as UL's that have an inline style of display:none; this was supposed to be controlled using the switch() function based on where you are on the site.
the problem is that the permalink isn't recognized by any PHP commands that try to retrieve a URL or path; it just returns index.php as the URL, the directory, etc.
any workarounds to this issue? I'd hate to go back to a flyout menu, they're so fickle between different browsers.

I have a 'blog' with multiple categories which represent the different areas of my website. For example, I have "Main", which will be my front page updates, "News" which talks about the latest news headlines, "Reviews", "Articles", etc.
I need to be able to place these areas at different spots on my front page, and also to have their own pages. Is this possible with WordPress? For example, I need my top 5 entires in the "Main" category at the top, the top 5 "news" headlines in the sidebar, and then I need seperate pages for each of these where people can go to, say, read only the news.
Any help is appreciated.

I get the computer and it crashes a few times once I have it set up and running. I called their customer service listed on their website and I am told that the crashes are probably just internet related issues. After a few months though the crashes are happening often and the computer is just real slow. I contact their customer service and get instructed to pull out memory sticks and other things that I should not be doing.
I finally demanded they fix the computer per the warranty and they relent and give me an RMA number. However I get told that I will have to pay the full shipping to them. This turns out to be $60 and does not seem to be mentioned in the warranty I got. So the computer goes to them and 3 weeks later is sent back to me with various parts being listed as having been replaced. When I go to boot up this piece of crap it begins crashing and as before runs very slow. I had while all this was going on bought another computer (a Gateway FX pc) for half the price of the Cyberpower PC and it runs fast and smooth without any issues. So I call Cyberpower back and get told that I cannot get a refund and that I would have to pay for shipping (Again!) to send it back for repairs even though they sent it to me unfixed. I also get the impression that they did not replace the items in the computer they listed as having replaced.
The customer service guy was rude and confrontational on the phone. It was obvious to me he was used to getting complaints and attacking customers. He refused to give me contact info for management, let me speak to a supervisor, or anything. This reminds me of basically the kind of operation where you buy a product from someone, find out it is junk, then call them, and they deny even selling you the item because they know they ripped you off and understand why you are calling back.
Cyberpower PCs are junk and their customer service and sales people are ripping me and others off with selective interpretations of the warranty which is basically useless. It isn't cheap to send a heavy computer throught he mail and demanding shipping from a customer on a shoddy made product is the worst kind of way to run a business. BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!

Sticking to the basics -- gum, mints and magazines -- is the front-end formula most stores find themselves going back to. Retailers are cleaning up the cashier area and opting for a neater, more organized approach to checkouts. "We're trying not to overcrowd the checkstands. It's more comfortable for the customer, and it doesn't cause a fight with the kids every time they walk through the register," said Dixie Young, nonfood supervisor for Tidyman's, Greenacres, Wash.

They have a high P/E and their inventory is the majority of their tangible assets. The upper end retailers are being hurt right now...SAKS for example. Lulu is a high overhead operation paying the absolute top of the market rental rates. They do not have much margin for error. While a botique operation can be profitable at any given location it's much different when trying to duplicate that throughout N. America. There are plenty of athletic wear suppliers and while the styling and quality may be superior whether or not the typical consumer will continue to pay $70 for a Lulu product, when they could buy Nike for example at $40, remains to be seen.I'd sell on strength and my investment has been on the short side which I've played since last fall when it was in the $50's.I practice Yoga and there's definitely less lulu product being worn in my classes even though several stores have opened up in the area.
They are just starting in the US - that has been said before - but the is still not really understood in terms of impact. A good chunk of it was probably priced in, in the 40's, but now we are flirting with the sub 20's. Quite frankly LULU is being punished because its retail and all retail is looked on a problem in markets like the one we have now.When LULU is compared with other "high end" retailers like SAKS, etc - it shows the spin which on one hand is somewhat accurate in terms of LULU being at the higher end, but at the other end - SAKS and LULU really are not comparable. I mean what is the growth potential of SAKS? Lets compare that with the growth potential of LULU - when they are just entering the US market - there is no comparison. Quite frankly I'm not sure how people don't see that.You can say that LULU is overpriced, over hyped, and in a high-end boutique category - but really have a look at the financials. Take a close look at store growth, same sale growth, general sales growth. Think about the current economic environment that this being achieved in.The problem is - where is this stock going.....it looks like its going down further - but this is because the market has a long way to go (down) and unfortunately for LULU - its lumped in together with the "loser" retail sector.In the final analysis - if I didn't own it already (and I was wrong and bought it too high for this run) I would be accumulating and this is a very good price to start doing so.
My reference to Saks was only with respect to the higher end retailers and the problems they are currently facing...Saks had announced earnings the day of my post.I will comment on your comment "really have a look at the financials" I have and net tangible assets are $113 million....the stock market cap is $1.3 billion. I think the market is giving LULU plenty of value for the potential growth....arguably too much value.Good luck with your postion....I'm not interested in going long at these levels...
