Kings respond to loss with big win
Kings 95 Kodiaks 78
The RDC Kings know what it takes to be a championship calibre basketball team.
One of those things is being able to quickly respond to a little adversity, just what they showed against the Lethbridge College Kodiaks during the weekend.
The Kings didn't look like themselves Friday in dropping a 103-82 decision to the Kodiaks. Saturday afternoon the RDC squad was back on form as they downed the Kodiaks 95-78 to run their Alberta Colleges Men's Basketball League record to 10-2.
"I'm proud of the guys, the way they responded after what happened last night," said Kings head coach Clayton Pottinger. "We had a shooting practice this morning and talked about several adjustments, plus we wanted to show championship calibre basketball."
The Kings did just that as they jumped on the Kodiaks, grabbing a 27-15 lead in the first quarter and extended it to 53-33 at the half.
"We got back to basics with our man defence and did a better job of covering their three-point shooters," added Pottinger. "They were zero-for-11 from the three-point line in the first half (three-for-23 overall) which made a huge difference."
The Kings also got another outstanding performance from all-star Rob Pierce, who pumped in 28 points to go with 20 rebounds and two assists. It's the second time this season the six-foot-two Pierce has 20 boards. His season best was 22 in an overtime game at Lakeland.
"Rob did what we needed him to do," said Pottinger, who also got a solid performance from newcomer Demaine Nelson, who finished with 16 points and five rebounds.
"Demaine had a great first half and when you see him in game condition and ready to go he'll be killing it in there."
The Kings had only nine players for the game with Joel Carroll out with a hyper extended knee, he suffered on Friday.
"We're a little deeper this season, so that helps and we can do some patch work to get ready," said Pottinger, who was willing to accept the loss on Friday.
"Last year at the end of our run we went up and lost to MacEwan and Keyano which was a wake up call for us. Last night was a wake up call as well, We're not untouchable, there's a lot of great teams in this league and they bring their A game when they play us. But that's what we need. We need more intense situations to become battle tested."
Ashaunti Hogan added 18 points and Jacob Cusumano had 12 for the Kings while Jared Baker had 13 for Lethbridge.
Queens 82 Kodiaks 72
There was a time this season, no matter who they were playing, that the Queens would be all but done if they trailed by double figures heading into the final quarter.
On Saturday they trailed the Kodiaks 64-52 heading into the final 10 minutes, but that's when they picked up the pace, outscoring their southern rivals 30-8 and pulling out an 82-72 victory.
"A great job of digging down hard and Carly (Hoar) got hot and we did a good job of finding her," said Queens head coach Mike Woollard. "I was impressed in that the girls recognized it as well,. I was about to tell them in a time out and there were four others saying 'get it to Carly'."
The five-foot-six Hoar from Longview finished with 22 points, including 11 in the final quarter when she nailed three threes and a two.
Defence proved to be the turning point.
"We talked about the girls putting together strong defence and shutting them down on at least three trips to start the quarter. We stopped them for the first seven trips down and we were hitting our shots as well."
It was the second straight win for the Queens over Lethbridge and gave them a 2-10 record. Lethbridge is 0-12.
"We're preaching ball movement and communication and it's seeping in which is fun to watch," said Woollard.
Second-year guard Sarah Williamson, who is the only returnee to play during the weekend with returning guard Morgan Schultz out, couldn't be happier with what she sees from the team.
"It feels good. It's a new year and we're forgetting about the first half. There's a lot of communication out there and we're playing as a team. We also have girls who can shoot from the outside and we're driving and kicking out and trusting them to finish for us."
Desirae Paterson added 19 points and eight rebounds for RDC while Williamson had 12 points and seven boards. Jackie Tollestrup had 23 points for Lethbridge.
The RDC teams have next weekend off before hosting St. Mary's of Calgary Jan, 25.
Volleyball Queens 3 Wolves 0
The Queens completed their weekend sweep over the Grande Prairie Wolves with a 25-20,25-17, 25-23 victory in Grande Prairie Saturday.
The Queens ran their record to 10-2 behind some solid defence and strong play at the net.
"We got real strong defence as Maddi (Quinn) and Brooke (Sutter) combined for close to 50 digs," said Queens head coach Talbot Walton. "Plus we got strong play from our middles and power hitters."
Sutter had 16 kills and Amber Adolf 10 as well Leanne Price, who was the player of the match, and Shelby Bramall were strong in the middle.
"Also our serving was strong and we didn't allow them to get on any extended runs," said Walton. "Overall it was a good performance setting the stage for the second half."
Kings 3 Wolves 0
The Kings ran their record to 12-0 with a 27-25, 25-18, 25-20 win.
Braden O'Toole, who was replacing right side Chris Osborn, who was at RDC working on school work, was the player of the match with 10 kills, four digs and two stuff blocks.
The RDC teams have a tough weekend ahead as they face SAIT in a home-and-home series — Friday at RDC and Saturday in Calgary.

Otters' Genovese learns from suspensions
Erie Otters defenseman Cory Genovese has learned a few things while serving a pair of five-game suspensions this season.
Being suspended stings, because his teammates have won nearly every game of a 10-game streak without him. The Otters can set a franchise record without him with a win against Niagara tonight. He also has to be careful on the ice moving forward, because referees and OHL officials will be watching closely.
The final lesson is most important.
"I'm not going to change the way I play," said Genovese, a veteran defenseman who completes his latest suspension this weekend before having a chance to rejoin the lineup Nov. 8 against Oshawa at Erie Insurance Arena. "I play physical. I play the way I do for a reason."
The Otters have missed his physical, stay-at-home style on the ice during this impressive stretch, head coach Kris Knoblauch said.
"He adds something to our team that we need," Knoblauch said. "If you just look at the record and say we don't miss him, that would be very shortsighted."
Players say Genovese continues to make a positive impact on the team off the ice.
"He's not playing in the games as much as he wants. But he's just as active in the locker room," winger Dane Fox said.
"He's in there before games, after games giving pointers to guys. In practice, he's great. He still competes. He works his (rear end) off. Geno is a great guy in the locker room, even if he's not playing."
Genovese said he strives to be a team-first player, not a dirty player.
"I'm not trying to hurt anybody. (They were) just a couple of bad-luck situations right next to each other," he said.
He has played three-plus periods of hockey in the past month because of a game misconduct for cross-checking Windsor forward Ty Bilcke on Sept. 28 and then a match penalty for intent to injure in an Oct. 19 game against Ottawa. "I haven't contributed as much as I want to the last little while," Genovese said.
He's ready to help the Otters keep winning.
"I'm eager to get back in the lineup and bring what I can to this team," he said.
Genovese has been working hard in practice along the way. As Knoblauch said, he has some of the league's best players to practice against.
However, Genovese isn't sure how the league-imposed layoff will affect him once he rejoins the lineup.
"Honestly, I'll have to wait and see," he said. "I know I've been working really hard, and I haven't noticed anything. Maybe it could only get better. But game experience is the experience you want."
No matter what, he said, "I never want to be in this situation again."

Soon afterwards, the wild dogs, horses and babes start showing up on scene. I feel so alive in the moment. I go out for a swim in the calm and clear water. I start swimming back to the beach and notice I am not making forward progress, so I start to swim my ass off and quickly decide to chill and drift until I can swim parallel to the shoreline so I dont get sucked out of the bay into the open sea. I swim for about 30 minutes before I reached the edge of the beach again. I was pretty freakin tired and surprised by the strength of the current.
By high noon, Im fried, dried and ready to be layed aside for a couple hours of napping after a quick and refreshing cold shower
I wake up and head for the balcony for a quick smoke and get this travel blog thing updated.
Within minutes, their is a procession of elaborately decorated Oxen pulling carts with locals heading down the beach and then thru town, celebrating a catholic festival. Too cool.
I go out that night to Bella Latinas and chat with my new friends and have a couple of starter beers. Next, I'm off to Las Olas and the place is rockin' like a hurricane. Great reggae, reggaetone, hip hop/rap beats, hot chicks, pool tables, fusball and the usual wildness without the craziness. perfect vibe. I whoop ass at fusball, again even though they play with wimpy rules. I am still having a blast. I meet up with some latinas who are HOT as fire, but require $40.00 for their intimate services. I ask if they ever do Pro Bono work, cuz' I'm a broke ass nigga.
They respectfully decline, but would be willing to give me a 2 for 1 special. I love how these sluts negotiate and try to hustle every tourist out of some $$$$$$$$. But, they really are poor compared to the majority of Americans, Europeans and Canadians. Never the less, I play hard to get and broke
I sit around and shoot the shit for another 2 hours because it is raining in buckets. I begin to notice a pattern here. Most gringa touristas are trying to score with the Local ticos and the freakin guys don't charge the girls. Its like a scene from the movie 'Stella got her groove on' Come down here, get your freak on and go back home witout nobody knowing. So, I will only talk in spanish to them from now on. ....LOL.. Tu sabes?
Not surprisingly, it rains the next day. So, I sleep most of the day. I wake up and when I go out to have a smoke break on the balcony, I meet Monica and Megan from New York. Monica is teaching spanish classes in San Jose and Megan is her pet student. They came down for a few days on the beach. We share some coconut rum and good conversation before we go out for cervize at dinner. Its lightly broiled fish that is served in a marinade of oil, vinegar, garlic sauce and lemon juice. I loved it. The funny thing is I have always hated to eat fish. I have a breakthrough moment.
We go by the pulperia ( convenience store ) and buy a six pack of Imperial beers and knick knacks. We compart in some drinks, smokes and good conversation. I love talking with Monica. She is super sweet and intelligent. But, unexpectedly, I get cock blocked by Megan when the conversation began to sway from her. My luck sucks. I hate you C.B. ers. as much as I now hate the Swiss. People think they are cool, but they are condescending , 'greater than though art' fruit heads. Megan had complained that she could get no attention at dinner from Ticos and would like to be fucked in her pumps. I laughed it off and tell her good luck. I guess thats when she decided to block me from Monica. Whatever, I have to go find an ATM early in a town called Nicoya. Money before biatches

First Look: Sean Penn as Harvey Milk in Gus Van Sant's Milk
Posted on Wednesday, January 30th, 2008 by Peter Sciretta
Harvey Milk (1930-1978) was an activist and politician, and the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in America; in 1977, he was voted to the city supervisors' board of San Francisco. The following year, both he and the city's mayor George Moscone were shot to death by another city supervisor, Dan White. Mr. Milk was previously the subject of the Academy Award-winning documentary feature The Times of Harvey Milk (1984), directed by Rob Epstein and produced by Richard Schmiechen. Milk is the first non-documentary feature to explore the man's life and career.Cool Posts From Around the Web:

So fresh and delicious! I love the peach flavor! I made a couple of changes: left out the peach puree, so I split the vodka between citron and peach to make up for the peach flavor. And I filled with diet lemon-lime soda instead of lemonade, to cut the calories and add a bit of fizz. This turned out really yummy.
I really loved this! So refreshing, especially after a long day of work. I made it on a Thursday night so Friday when I got home it was just sitting in my fridge waiting for me!! Loved the peach flavor and did add a little extra peach to each of the glasses and about 1/4 cup lemonade. Once again Boomette, thanks for a great recipe!
Great sangria! Used diet sprite instead of lemonade to cut calories....otherwise made as posted. Thoroughly enjoyed on a football watching day! Thanks for sharing.

Charlie 1 Horse cowboy hats are not your average Joe. They do have everything you'd expect in a cowboy hat: western style, durability, brim, crown… You know, the "must-haves" to be considered a cowboy hat. BUT, Charlie 1 Horse hats also have a lot that you don't expect from cowboy hats – that's in the form of astonishing western style! It's no wonder so many celebrities don that iconic Charlie 1 Horse firebrand logo on their western fashion hat.
Kid Rock, Richard Petty, Eddie Montgomery, Gretchen Wilson, Tracy Lawrence, Hank Williams, Jr., and NASCAR driver Austin Dillon all wear Charlie 1 Horse hats, and because of the vast selection of hat options, each celebrity makes it their own signature look. And you can, too! There's a Charlie 1 Horse cowboy hat to match your western attitude!
1978 was the year that started it all for Charlie 1 Horse hats. Owned by the same company that crafts Stetson and Resistol cowboy hats (hello – the ultimate standard in western hats!), Charlie 1 Horse cowboy hats are handmade in the United States with great pride. This handcrafted, American made quality ensures each Charlie 1 Horse hat meets customer expectations in materials, style, durability, and comfort.
Cowgirls were quick to realize the potential in Charlie 1 Horse cowgirl hats. More and more cowgirls are trading in their traditional straw and felt hats to showcase a little Charlie 1 Horse cowgirl hat flair! The barrel racing community has adopted Charlie 1 Horse cowgirl hats as their unofficial western hat style, and it has created a booming increase in the number of Charlie 1 Horse hats we see in and around competitive arenas. With fancy cowgirl flamboyance all-over these incredible fashion western hats, Charlie 1 Horse cowgirl hats are right at home in the saddle and arena.
Cowboys have been a little harder to convince… until now. We suppose cowboys just aren't that drawn to all the glitz and glam and expect their cowboy hats to stand up to the demands of the western lifestyle before lookin' good. We get it. Why buy a cowboy hat just for looks?! As we mentioned before, Charlie 1 Horse cowboy hats are produced by the same folks that make the gold standards in western hats! These aren't just "purty" cowboy hats – they really do perform. Charlie 1 Horse hats must meet strict standards for durability and comfort to bear the firebrand crown logo.
Cowboys have finally come around, though. Some big names wearing the firebrand logo has helped draw interest. Austin Dillon is one of the newest members of the Charlie 1 Horse family. As the driver of the NASCAR #3 car, Austin is known for his signature Charlie 1 Horse cowboy hat. He usually sports a black felt cattleman cowboy hat, but he has also been spotted in a sun-shading straw cowboy hat on occasion. With country music stars and race car drivers taking the brand to national stages, it is creating a big stir of awareness in Charlie 1 Horse hats. We're always watching to see who will be the next big star to sport this incredible western hat.
Charlie 1 Horse fur cowboy hats are the premium choice in western hat style. Each fur cowboy hat has its own distinct hardware and accents to give it unique personality. From black fur hats, to hues of brown, or wild animal print, there is a fur felt hat to suite every western preference. If you're seeking quality that makes a statement all on its own, you will want a Charlie 1 Horse fur cowboy hat!
Wool cowboy hats by Charlie 1 Horse are an astonishingly fashionable and affordable cowboy hat choice. Wool felt offers durability at a great price. Sparkling bling accents, elegant brim details, stunning hat bands, eye-catching ornaments, and wild details make Charlie 1 Horse wool cowboy hats the trendiest cowboy hats around! With both cowboy hat and cowgirl hat options, this is an excellent starting place for those who want the biggest bang for their buck.
Straw cowboy hats are the ultimate choice in casual hats. Perfect for horseback riding on a warm summer day, attending country music concerts, or lounging on a beach, Charlie 1 Horse straw cowboy hats offer wonderful sun shade, pure western style, and a variety of trendy options. Straw hats with a shapeable hat brim are the hottest concert hats. Charlie 1 Horse straw hats are also available in classic cattleman hat styles for true cowboys and cowgirls.
Charlie 1 Horse cowboy and cowgirl hats are trendsetters in the western fashion world, but don't discount this amazing cowboy hat brand just because of their trendy details. There is a whole lot of western performance in this brand, too.
What do YOU think of Charlie 1 Horse? Which celebrity wears the look best?
We'd love to see a photo of you wearing a Charlie 1 Horse hat on our HeadWest Outfitters Facebook page.

dag leen, dat ben ik! een klein meisje dus ;)oh, dat kinlkt niet zo goed, maar t ergste is al voorbij nu he? t komt wel in orde! ik kom ook nog wel eens langs, dus tot gauw! xxx
The ability to think like that shows you're an expert
You've really captured all the essentials in this subject area, haven't you?
De verschillende OV bedrijven geven ruim van te voren aan Bogerman informatie over eventueel uitval van treinen en bussen. Zo kan de school er voor zorgen dat leerlingen altijd thuis kunnen komen.
Great analysis, Stuat. Maybe they are thinking about strategic reserves (Non-private), but I think you are right to look at private stocks. Or given that it is G-S maybe they are trading against their published recommendation. 😉

I must admit, I didn't actually watch much of this film. I caught the first part about Doug Kinney (Michael Keaton) having a rough time at work and having to deal with the guilt of not being able to spend enough time with his wife, Laura (Andie MacDowell), and kids. Then a scientist offers him an out, he takes it, and suddenly there are two Dougs. After that, I was hiding under my theater seat, cowering in debilitating fear.
"Multiplicity" is one of the most intense, frightening films I've ever seen. From the second Doug creates his first clone, the movie grips you with the kind of terror one imagines people experience in near-death episodes. Were the people around me missing something? They asked me what was wrong. The theater manager came by with a first-aid kit. Finally, the people's ignorance and a film spiraling toward an apocalyptic conclusion forced me to scream out in the voice of a man cursed with a horrible vision: "YOU FOOLS! CAN'T YOU SEE? THEY'RE GOING TO CLONE ANDIE MACDOWELL!"
Suddenly, the theater was transformed into a chaotic, screaming stampede. Soda sprayed. Chairs flew. Babies were thrown at the screen. Theatergoers clawed at each other's eyes as they fought their way to the exits. The projectionist was hauled out of his cubicle and beaten with the severed arm of the theater manager. And still the movie went on, hurtling recklessly toward the inevitable catastrophe that two Andie MacDowells would bring to a film. The woman whose acting in "Four Weddings and a Funeral" caused the "ugh" heard round the world was going to be duplicated. The horror, the horror.
It gets worse. Doug ends up having three clones. The third Doug is a clone of a clone and basically a retard. Thus, a retarded Andie MacDowell clone, though redundant, also seemed a possibility. I can only say that the filmmakers' decision not to carry out this horrible act left me relieved. However, after a man has to deal with such possibilities, can he ever really be the same again?

In discussions of the composition of human milk and of modifications of cow's milk, much stress is laid on the absolute and relative proportions of fats, carbohydrates and protein, but, as a rule, no mention is made of the concentration of the mineral constituents. As an example, we may cite the fact that in many clinics the most premature infant is given mixtures of whey, which may provide certain advantages in regard to the quality of the protein, but which contain 300 per cent. more chlorids than does human milk. A similar relation exists in connection with several of the other inorganic constituents.This practice is, of course, based on the assumption that an excess of inorganic material is present even in human milk, and that this excess is not injurious, an assumption not based on experimental evidence. Theoretically, it is, of course, perfectly conceivable

Aspects of the International Banking Safety Netby G. G. Johnson Richard K. Abrams
During the 1970s, international lending by banks came to play a dominant role in the flow of international finance. In the early 1980s, banks have continued to play a major role, but the recent evidence of strains in international banking has raised questions about the prospects for continuity of international intermediation by banks.

La Poule aux oeufs d'orTM, a new slot machine developed by Ingenio, arrives in Québec casinos
La Poule aux oeufs d'orTM, a new slot machine developed by Ingenio, arrives in Québec casinos
La Poule aux oeufs d'orTM, a new slot machine developed by Ingenio, arrives in Québec casinos
This month, Québec's casinos are unveiling La Poule aux oeufs d'or™ (Hatch the CashTM), a new video slot machine created by Ingenio, Loto-Québec's research and development division.
Inspired by the success of the wildly popular TV lottery show La Poule aux oeufs d'or™,Québec's Casinos (known in French as the Société des casinos du Québec) commissioned Ingenio to design a video slot machine game using the same theme. Offering a colourfuland distinctly playful gaming experience, the machine duplicates the famous "The Egg or the Envelope" game through three bonus modes.
In partnership with Bally Technologies, one of the world's largest game and system suppliers, Ingenio's team of design, interactivity, mathematical modelling, programming and 3D visuals experts worked intensively to bring this project to fruition. "This is the Québec launch of the first in a series of slot machines to be developed within the
framework of a strategic alliance forged by Ingenio and Bally Technologies in June 2006,to the benefit of the Société des casinos," said Ingenio's Director General, Nathalie Rajotte. Other games are currently in or soon to be entering the certification phase, which is overseen by the province's alcohol and gaming board, the Régie des alcools, descourses et des jeux du Québec.
The first La Poule aux oeufs d'or™ slot machines saw the light of day in 2008 as Hatch the Cash™, an English version of the game. Today, they can be played in over 100 casinos worldwide, in more than 30 jurisdictions reaching from China to South America,from Europe to the U.S.A.
30 La Poule aux oeufs d'or™ slot machines are set up in the province's casinos over the month. Various promotional activities begin at the Casino du Lac-Leamy, the Casino de Montréal and the Casino de Charlevoix on February 9, 19 and 27, respectively.

A fire that started on the side of a road Horeke on Monday was the final straw for Kaitaia's Chief Fire Officer, Colin Kitchen.
He said he had "had a gutsful of stupid people" who were ignoring the Far North's total fire ban and putting property and lives at risk.
The Horeke fire destroyed about 15 ha of vegetation before it was brought under control by ground crews from five fire units and three from the Rural Fire Authority, along with three helicopters. Crews were still there yesterday dampening down.
Bulldozers and diggers were also used to contain the fire, which Mr Kitchen said appeared to have been deliberately lit.
"Some people seem to think it's their right to burn rubbish. They don't understand the consequences, which could be disastrous," he said.
"It's putting real pressure on the volunteers - it's hard enough getting volunteers as it is - and on their employers and families."

Faris makes way for 'Mom'
In Hollywood, everything's relative. Anna Faris landed the lead in the new CBS comedy "Mom" just after she had become a mom.
The film actress was in no hurry to get back to work after her son was born just over a year ago. She was flirting with the idea of staying at home and letting her husband, actor Chris Pratt, work. Her priorities had shifted.
It was Pratt who got her to go back to work.
"I'd left the script on the kitchen counter and my husband picked it up. He read the first page, and said, 'Whatever you're doing, put it down right now.' He said, 'This is you.' And it felt like that," Faris said.
"Every once in a while, you get fortunate enough to play a role that kind of feels like Cinderella's shoe. And this felt like she's so dimensional. She's a mess, which very much is like me.
"It's a story about relationships and character. I've played a lot of one-dimensional characters in my career that haven't been so bright."
It's interesting that this script would be the one that changed her mind. She plays Christy, a single mother trying to get along the best she can despite having a mother (Allison Janney) who's been a total bust.
When mom comes back into her life, Christy must adjust to life with her mother's horrible influence.
Taking on her first leading role in a TV series means Faris is leaving behind a film career that's included "The House Bunny," "Scary Movie," "Yogi Bear" and "The Hot Chick."
"Something strange happens. Playing those one-dimensional characters is actually quite difficult because you're not dealing with somebody you would ever really know. I don't think anybody here sort of could imagine actually knowing Cindy Campbell from 'Scary Movie.'
"So in a way, your job is so much easier when you're playing a person that you really understand, that seems very relatable," Faris said. "I think I was coming to a place in my career where I was like, 'I'd like to do something a little more rewarding.'"
It was just the opposite for Janney.
Most of the roles the actress has played have been serious career women, such as her work in "West Wing" or "Struck By Lightning." Now, she's playing a woman who's dealt with every addiction known to man, woman or beast and lived to tell the tale. She loves characters who are rooted in some kind of tragic sadness and dysfunction, a perfect way to describe this TV mom.
Faris is excited to work with Janney.
"I feel so honored that she came onto this project because she's such an incredible actress. She's also such an amazing person," Faris said.
"I think the relationship, mother-daughter thing is very relatable. She's sort of my biggest champion and my harshest critic. She's very critical of me, just like all moms are."

I lost my writing mojo a couple of weeks ago following the death of close friend. I'm usually pretty resilient in the face of heartbreak but as my friend Michael Ruhlman wrote in a recent email "sometimes life drops a ceiling beam on your head" and there is nothing you can do until consciousness returns. Well, I'm not yet fully conscious yet. I still feel like a sailor who was about to come about on a good run on a smooth sea and got knocked overboard by the boom. However I am awake enough to realize that if I'm ever going to write anything of moment again, I should start taking baby steps now.
So here is my hand coming up out of the water and grasping the gunwale. I hope to be flopping around in the bottom of the boat coughing up sardines soon. In the meantime, please accept my apologies for appearing to have jumped ship and consider for a moment how much worse life would be if our livelihoods were dependant on cheap chicken wings.
"Shares of Buffalo Wild Wings may be overcooked, as soaring wing prices and a recession threaten to take a bite out of the fast-growing restaurant chain's profits." (Star Tribune)

Downs cell
The Downs process is a method for the commercial preparation of metallic sodium, in which molten NaCl is electrolyzed in a special apparatus called the Downs cell.
How it works
The Downs cell uses a carbon anode and iron cathode. The electrolyte is sodium chloride that has been fused to a liquid by heating. Although crystaline sodium chloride is a poor conductor of electricity, fusing it mobilizes the sodium and chloride ions, which become charge carriers and allow conduction of electric current.
Some calcium chloride and/or sodium carbonate is added to the electrolyte to reduce the temperature required to keep the electrolyte liquid. Sodium chloride normally melts at 804 °C, but the mixture can be kept liquid at temperatures around 600 °C.
The anode reaction is:
2Cl– → Cl2 + 2e– −1.358 volts
The cathode reaction is:
2Na+ + 2e– → 2Na −2.712 volts
for an overall reaction of
2Na+ + 2Cl– → 2Na + Cl2 −4.070 volts
The calcium does not enter into the reaction because its reduction potential of 2.87 volts is higher than that of sodium. Hence the sodium ions are reduced to metallic form in preference to those of calcium.[1] If the electrolyte contained only calcium ion and no sodium, it would be calcium metal produced as the cathode product (which indeed is how metallic calcium is produced).
Both the products of the electrolysis, sodium metal and chlorine gas, are less dense than the electrolyte and therefore float to the surface. Perforated iron baffles are arranged in the cell (see the diagram to the right) to direct the products into separate chambers without their ever coming into contact with each other.[2]
Although theory predicts that a potential of a little over 4 volts should be sufficient to cause the reaction to go foward, in practice potentials of up to 8 volts are used. This is done in order to achieve useful current densities in the electrolyte despite its inherent electrical resistance. The overvoltage and consequent resistive heating contributes to the heat required to keep the electrolyte in a liquid state.
The Downs process also produces chlorine as a byproduct, although chlorine produced this way accounts for only a small fraction of chlorine produced industrially by other methods.[2]

Tom Corbett's great idea starts this week
April 30, 2012 - Mike Maneval
A plan by Republican governor Tom Corbett starts examining the finances of beneficiaries of the state's food stamp program Tuesday, the Associated Press reports, and cutting aid to people with certain financial assets. While still in its early stages, the program shows promise, and early criticisms of the plan seem, to me, vapid and irresponsible.
The initiative will help curb the cost of a public assistance program while retaining aid to the most deserving without change. It will instead cut benefits to enrollees who possess the best means, of those Pennsylvanians in the pool, of taking responsibility for their own lives.
Critics of the program, such as the Greater Philadelphia Coalition Against Hunger's Julie Zaebst, who spoke to AP reporters, offer their strongest argument, which still is weak, when arguing the threshold set by the program could deprive people with disabilities of assistance. The argument fails to include consideration of the role Social Security and other programs play in providing aid to Pennsylvanians with disabilities. And the argument that the funding saved originates at the federal level and not from the revenues of state taxes reflects an appalling ignorance of the public's growing contempt for spendthrift behavior with public coffers at all levels.
It is a reflection also seen in the argument that the oversight in spending initiated by the new policy would involve costly red tape, an argument that invites speculation on how little diligence is performed on reviewing applicants for public expenditure.
It may well become clear that the program's thresholds of $5,000 in assets for enrollees under 60 years of age and $9,000 for older enrollees are too low. It may also become clear the exemptions for pensions and retirement income are too broad. It is a new initiative, and room may exist to better it. But the reasons for abandoning the effort are weak, and tied to attitudes about public spending that are unsustainable.

I discovered that there are a lot of people who like to read quotes. I mean inspiring and enlightening quotes about different topics. People like to read quotes, because these are concise sentences, expressing wisdom, and awakening motivation, inspiration and happiness.
If you search for quotes on the Internet, you will find a lot of websites displaying quotes, and also many websites dedicated especially for quotes. I too, have included a section with quotes at my website, which you can find at the quotes directory. I am happy to say that these pages are viewed thousands of times every day, by people from all over the world.
There are two questions I would like to answer in this article:
1. Why people love to read quotes.
2. How to read quotes and benefit from them.

What is a "Zone"?Zones are specific places in the output HTML that are marked by calls to the RENDERZONE macro. Zones are used to collect various content together, such as Javascript and CSS, that must be included in the output HTML in a specific order, and in a specific place. There are two special zones called
head and
script. The
head zone is rendered
as part of the HTML head section. It is the catch-all container for any content supposed
to be placed into the HTML head section, except Javascript, which is collected in the
script zone.
All Javascript must always be added to the
script zone exclusively, in order to
grant ordering constraints among scripts are resolved properly. Never add Javascript to
head zone -- never add non-Javascript content to the
script zone.
Both zones are added to the HTML head section automatically just before the
closing </head> tag as if they were specified explicitly in the skin templates using:
<head> ... %RENDERZONE{"head"}% %RENDERZONE{"script"}% </head>You may create as many zones in addition to the standard

Following a City of North Augusta proposal on Tuesday to the Aiken School Board on a major redevelopment plan, Board members agreed to conduct their own public hearing to hear both sides on the issue.
The hearing has been scheduled at the school district office in Aiken on Feb. 25 at 6 p.m.
North Augusta officials threw a pitch at School Board meeting on Tuesday - hoping the Board will agree to help make possible a financing mechanism for redevelopment adjacent to Hammond's Ferry that in part would build a new baseball stadium in North Augusta.
City Manager Todd Glover and consultants on "Project Jackson" described the city's hopes of amending an existing Tax Incremental Financing district.
The School District's millage rate is roughly equal to the rate of the City of North Augusta and Aiken County combined, Glover said. The city considers the School District's participation in the project as essential to generate sufficient revenue to service the debt on $43 million.
Those funds would pay for the baseball stadium, a parking garage and a conference center - combined with private investment around them, including a hotel, townhouse, single-family homes and retail stores.
The Board's deadline to approve or reject the City's request would come in mid-March.
The members agreed to a format that would seek a spokesman on each side of the issue to speak for about 30 minutes, followed by a few questions.
According to an informational paper from the City of North Augusta, a TIF doesn't add new taxes to taxpayers. However, collections on the incremental value over frozen assessed value would be set aside. In effect, it's similar to new and expanding industries that with incentives for a period of years pay fees in lieu of taxes.
Currently, the school districts get nothing in revenue from the area proposed for redevelopment, but that would change over time, City officials said.
Two North Augusta residents supported the TIF at the board meeting, but another, Steve Donohue, vigorously dissented.
He said to Board members that the project and its waiver on taxes for a new hotel, for example, "would rob the school system to build a baseball stadium."
But the city's duty for such a complex issue, Glover said, "is to get the correct information about facts and figures. This is not apples and oranges."
Board member Richard Hazen said that he has an open mind about the TIF proposal.
However, sales taxes through the investment "won't help us," he said. "I don't see that as a revenue win."
He also said any ability generated by the TIF to issue more bonds for debt service for facilities without a tax increase would be minimal.
Still, the process sounds exciting, Hazen said.
A new Board member, Tad Barber, said he's for development, but he's concerned that the school district would have more at stake than the county and North Augusta in such a TIF initiative.

When I say that being a conscious consumer starts at home, I mean that buying locally made products is just one part of making ethical shopping choices. To be an ethical shopper, we must be mindful of the impact our purchase makes on people, the economy and the environment. Voting with out dollar is such a powerful action because shopping is the fundamental role consumers play in our economic system. The price tag on a product leaves much out of the equation. Learning the hidden costs associated with a product are vital to making informed decisions as a consumer.
Here are some of the things I look for when making ethical shopping choices.
Made in USA
I choose to buy and use products made locally in America for many important reasons. These include supporting our economy and manufacturing sector, protecting our environment, supporting human rights and protecting my family from toxins frequently found in cheap imported goods.
Fair trade
When something I need is not available made in USA, I rely on the fair trade certification for the security it offers in protecting human rights, labor laws and respecting the environment. Fair trade is also a great way to access the market of handcrafted goods made globally that can help empower workers living in impoverished areas.
Recycling is beneficial because it reduces waste and brings new life to products otherwise sent to the landfill. Upcycling uses less energy than creating a new product and results in a truly one-of-a-kind product.
I love purchasing handmade goods that support local artists and communities. Buying handmade supports the person actually making the product you purchase, instead of a corporation and middlemen.
I look for products that are free of toxins, contain no artificial ingredients and ideally are certified organic. I use resources like Skin Deep to look up ratings for bath and body products.
Cruelty free
Cruelty-free certifications like those from the Leaping Bunny program ensure that no animals were harmed in the making of a product. I look for products that are not tested on animals and contain no animal products like fur or leather that are often obtained in unethical and inhumane ways.
Conscious consuming is being aware of the impact the choices you make as a consumer have on people, the environment, animals and the economy. While I focus on finding locally made in USA products here on made in USA challenge, there are many factors I consider when making a purchase. I challenge you to join me on my journey to becoming a more conscious consumer by looking more closely at the products you choose to purchase and the impact they have. How do you make ethical shopping decisions?

What is in this article?:
- Labor, marketing issues muddying raisins' future
- Murky future
- California's unseasonably warm weather has pushed SJV vineyards well ahead of schedule. It also has exasperated a critical water situation for growers like Fresno County, Calif., raisin producer Dwayne Cardoza.
Murky future
He credits packers for their role in meeting obligations to buyers. As of May 8, he notes, domestic and export shipments were down just 4 percent from a year earlier. "That's remarkable," he says, "As a result, raisin prices should stay at least where they are for the rest of this marketing year because of the fantastic job packers are doing."
However, the future beyond this year is murky. Following last year's harvest, California's growers tore out roughly 19,000 acres of vineyards, replanting most of them to nut trees, he reports. "About 14,000 to 15,000 of those acres had been growing Thompson seedless and other raisin varieties," Cardoza says. That equates to 30,000 tons of raisins no longer available for the marketplace. This year's seemingly big raisin crop could also get much smaller since wineries are out right now contracting to buy Thompson seedless and other raisin-type varieties.
Fortunately, dry spring weather has minimized powdery mildew pressures in the vineyards. Continued hot, dry weather, would increase the likelihood of some mite flare-ups in the last half of May, Cardoza adds.
Hot days and cool nights along with a thunderstorm at the 50 percent bloom stage produced quite a bit of shatter. "The bunches that are there are a little on the small size but look nice," he says. "They won't have big shoulders. However, it's hard to say what the crop size is likely to be. We really won't know until we start putting grapes on the ground."

Sunday's drownings at Raystown Lake highlight an important facet of boating safety.
Wear your personal flotation device when boating or swimming in deep water.
The three men who died at the popular lake, operated and maintained by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, didn't have their life jackets on when they went into the water.
We offer our condolences to the families whose lives changed Sunday.
While we will never know whether wearing a life jacket would have made a difference, the U.S. Coast Guard estimates that 80 percent of drownings could have avoided if the victims wore their life jackets.
All boats must have a Coast Guard-approved wearable life jacket for each passenger, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission said on its website.
But not everyone is required to wear one.
The state requires that a child 12 years of age and younger wear a life jacket while a boat 20 feet in length or less and on all canoes and kayaks. Personal watercraft operators and passengers and anyone towed behind a boat must also wear the life jacket.
It makes sense to wear a life jacket, regardless of whether it's required or not.
In 2011, 22 people died in Pennsylvania boating accidents - all but three didn't wear their life jackets, the Fish and Boat Commission said. Three of those deaths occurred in Blair, Centre and Huntingdon counties and all three didn't wear life jackets.
The time it takes to wear the life jacket may be the moment when you don't become another statistic on our lakes and rivers.

Standing Mute at Arrest as Evidence of Guilt: The 'Right to Silence' Under Attack
Frank R. Herrmann
Boston College - Law School
Brownlow M. Speer
Committee for Public Counsel Services
June 24, 2008
American Journal of Criminal Law, Vol. 35, No.1, 2007
Boston College Law School Legal Studies Research Paper No. 160
It is commonly understood that an arrested person has a right to remain silent and that the government may not use his or her silence to prove guilt at trial. Three Circuit Courts of Appeal, however, reject this understanding. They allow the prosecution to use an arrested person's pre-Miranda silence as direct evidence of guilt.
This article argues that those Circuits are wrong. The article, first, demonstrates the historical antiquity of the Common Law principle that a detained person has the right to stand mute. Though the right was limited by statutory incursion and in tension, at times, with the evidentiary principle of "tacit admissions" an arrested person's right to stand mute has never been so attenuated that a defendant's mere silence upon arrest can give rise to an inference of guilt.
Two of the Circuits that permit the use of post-arrest pre-Miranda silence to prove guilt neglect the distinction between the impeachment use of silence, which the Supreme Court has sanctioned, and the substantive use of silence. A third Circuit has confused the giving of Miranda warnings with the inception of the right to remain silent. Four other Circuits bar the prosecution from using post-arrest pre-Miranda silence to prove guilt. These courts correctly perceive that the right against self-incrimination protects a person at least from the moment he or she is detained.

A suspicious device was discovered in a neighborhood Tuesday night.
According to Spartanburg County deputies a homemade device was found in the driveway of a home on Laurelwood Drive.
Deputies said they did not evacuate the area because it did not appear the situation warranted it.
The bomb squad determined the best way to handle the device and it was moved to a more secure location, said deputies.
Once in the secure location the bomb squad could better deal with the device, said deputies.
According to deputies, most of the activity at the scene has been cleared at this time.

Israeli Yuval Aviv, who teamed up with Canadian George Jonas to write Vengeance, the bestseller on which Spielberg's "Munich" is based, never served in the Mossad or any Israeli intelligence organization. His nearest approximation to spy work was as a lowly gate guard for the airline El Al in New York in the early '70s. The tale he had woven was apparently nothing more than a Walter Mitty fabrication.

Is Spielberg's 'Munich' Based on a Fabrication?

There is no doubt that the Apostle Paul was the greatest witness for the Lord since Jesus Christ himself. His feats in church planting, soul winning and in writing are unequaled. But I am afraid we sometimes forget he did not do it alone. This little work examines some of the people who served alongside Apostle Paul.

Search giant Google (NASDAQ: GOOGL ) soared to fresh all-time highs today, with shares bursting through the $1,000 threshold for the first time ever. Google's stellar third-quarter results were to thank, as the company blew past Street expectations. Investors had been concerned about how advertisers would react to Google's new Enhanced Campaigns, which allow advertisers to target multiple screens in one campaign. The new initiative is off to a healthy start, and investors couldn't be happier.
Motorola continues to bleed, generating $248 million in operating losses. However, Google urges investors to keep a long-term focus on the acquisition, pointing to the progress made on product quality over the last year. The Moto X just launched, which is the first device fully designed under Google's watch, and next, Motorola will turn to improving marketing and distribution.
In this segment of Tech Teardown, Erin Kennedy discusses Google's latest quarter with Jamal Carnette and Evan Niu, CFA.

All of a sudden mid-March is here already! Our team in Seattle and Ahmedabad has been laboring away to get everything done before our final presentation next week. Fortunately, despite us being 13.5 hours behind them, the Hariyali team has been reviewing our deliverables and providing us clear feedback and suggestions. Video calls to connect quasi face-to-face have been our main source of communication. Due to schedule differences one calls was rescheduled for the following week, which worked out fine for both parties. One truly piece of bad luck is this team's health! Tack got the worst of it, suffering from malaria after returning to Seattle, which was followed immediately by being attacked by two different cold viruses. Just as Tack was fully recovered, Anurag suffered from a sinus infection. The good news is we are on track to finish on time. Everyone is doing much better now, and hopefully we can finish this quarter all feeling 100%.
One thing is for sure, we are definitely missing the food in India!
