UMM to Host 3rd Annual Rainbow Ball April 10
Prom event is part of Bad Little Pride Week
MACHIAS, ME – The University of Maine at Machias will hold its 3rd Annual Rainbow Ball from 7–11 p.m. on Saturday, April 10, at the Reynolds Center Gymnasium. The event is part of Bad Little Pride Week.
The Rainbow Ball is an open and affirming chem-free prom evening that includes dancing, pictures, food, and friends. It is offered as an alternative prom for youth who may be gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered, and their allies. There will be events for youth guests the entire weekend of April 9–11. All associated high school and college students, youth groups, and community members, including groups that are allies, are invited to attend the casual, fun, safe, supervised, and friendly community celebration.
This year's Rainbow Ball has a "Back to the 50's" theme. Professional photographer and UMM graduate, Jen Reynolds, will take prom pictures (covered in the price of the tickets). The Sigma Chi fraternity will DJ the event. Bangor musician and recording artist, Jessi Mallory, will entertain guests with her nationally recognized Elvis impersonation, "Jelvis." Although attendees have a tendency to lean toward semi-formal-to-formal dress, everyone is encouraged to have fun, be themselves, and be fabulous!
The prom and associated events have been made possible for the past two years by financial assistance from the Maine Community Foundation Equity Fund and private donors Joe Higdon and Ellen Sudow. UMM's 100% Society, a student club, coordinates and plans all the activities. Co-sponsors of the event include The Bridge Alliance of Bangor and UMM's Student Senate, Diversity Committee, Omicron Delta Pi fraternity, Office of Student Life, and Office of the President.
Rainbow Ball tickets for college students and community members are $15 for one and $20 for two. Tickets for youth are free. Tickets may be purchased at the door or in advance at UMM's Murdock Bookstore and the First Stop. All ticket proceeds and donations will be used to support next year's Rainbow Ball.
Organizers hope to increase public, and high school students' and administrators', awareness of how inclusiveness can be incorporated around adolescent rites of passage, such as the prom. Students who attend the Rainbow Ball will have the opportunity to participate the way they wish with their friends in this important school years' social event. Interacting with college students and adults who model a tolerant environment will allow high school students to develop positive ways to envision their future lives. College students may also learn skills of inclusiveness which define today's workplace.
For more information, financial support, and help arranging transportation or lodging, please e-mail Betty Kelley, assistant to the president, with "Rainbow Ball" in the subject line, or call (207) 255-1211. To learn more about the 100% Society, visit machias.edu/100percent or find the 100% Society on Facebook.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - Tamika Catchings had 18 points and 12 rebounds and the Indiana Fever advanced to the WNBA's Eastern Conference finals by completing a best-of-three series sweep of the Chicago Sky with a 79-57 victory Sunday.
The Fever were the only WNBA team to reach the playoffs with a losing record. But Indiana took advantage of Chicago's poor shooting to defeat the Sky for the fifth straight time.
The Sky (24-12) missed their first six shots from the field, but took an early 6-3 lead by hitting 6-of-6 free throws. But Catchings scored six straight points for the Fever to give Indiana a lead it would never relinquish.
Sylvia Fowles led the Sky with 14 points. Epiphanny Prince scored 10 points, and WNBA Rookie of the Year Elena Delle Donne added 10 points, but was scoreless in the second half.

New Year Resolution 2014
(If you are looking for what plans to make for the new year, then visit HOW TO MAKE NEW YEAR RESOLUTIONS : 20 PLANS FOR THE NEW YEAR )
Every year we learn many things, commit many mistakes, enjoy a lot of moments and have some not so good experiences as well,sometimes tragic ones,but at the end of year, we again start planning for the new year. We are again filled with many questions. How we are going to celebrate the new year? and most importantly what will be our new year resolutions?
New year resolutions are as much part of our life as much as the new year celebrations are so don't fool yourself by telling I don't make resolutions because at the end we all do. Some of us prefer sharing our new year resolutions while some of us keep it secret. Some of us write it down and make some schedules while other prefer to keep it in their mind. All of us in some way of other do make these resolutions. The targets and achievements you have planned for next year are also a type so resolution but since you are not sure of achieving it you tend not to accept it and this in turn becaomes the only reason for your not achieving it.
The first question that comes to everyone's mind when they hear new year resolution is that,
Why should we make new year resolutions?
The answer is new year resolution is nothing but a guide for you, it will show you direction, it will tell you are you in the right place, are you going towards the right direction and at what speed you should do you work? should you relax a little or you should pump up your speed. A little bit of guidance is always required and what better if its written by you for your own benefit.
I'm not a kid, why should I make the resolutions? What would I gain?
Yes, you are not kid and that becomes relevant because you keep on judging everything in life with gain and loss rather than doing it for the love of it, for the happiness that it could give you and the essence that it can spread in your life. Since you don't do anything for your happiness and excitement you keep on having the monotonous life and then you will only be the one who will crib that, there is no happiness and excitement in your life. Yes, there isn't because you haven't allowed it to come to your life.
Secondly, do you remember how efficient you were in school, your completed your tasks, stay attentive in school hours, played with your friends, learned instruments or played new sports. Yes, you did all those things. Just because you had all the things planned and scheduled. Yes, your parents, teachers and coaches were there to help you but you just told me you are not a kid. So, you should be able to help yourself now. 😉
Now, that why and what is the gain are gone, people now ask a very important question,
What should be my new year resolution?
I think your new year resolutions are all your aspirations and wishes that you have for yourself. This is your letter to your future self and this is your projection for your next year(I think management & marketing graduate will understand it this way). So, make it as detailed and informed as possible.
It can contain anything from your weight loss plan (you may want to reduce 20 kgs this year ;)) to your achievement plan like I will get a better job this year. It may also contain some small and meaningful changes like I won't waste time talking with specific set of individuals as they are depressing or negative or lead me to a wrong direction and if you are blogger or a writer you can have a resolution about how much time you would like to devote to your writing or even how much you want to write each day or each week. 🙂
What If I fail?What if I couldn't complete my targets?
The thing is you won't be prosecuted for it. It's your own guidelines and you should be the one implementing it. If you think it has become really tough and you won;t be able to achieve it and accomplish the set goals then you can always rethink and rewrite your resolution which becomes may have more realistic goals or targets. 🙂
Most important thing is that you have to give yourself the chance and the opportunity. You can't be pessimistic because of your earlier attempts.It's going to be a new year and a new start and you have to fill it with all the enthusiasm and positive energy as you can.
Here's some divine blessing coming your way.Believe in yourself and just do it. 😀

Abstract: This panel invites papers that focus on South Asian post conflict economies. It aims to investigate and discuss the role that culture and tradition play and their contribution to labour and livelihood in contemporary South Asian post conflict scenarios.
It will be important to address and debate questions of gender and agency, and their juxtaposition with tradition and cultural values within these settings. Papers can also explore notions of livelihood, labour and sustainable development through culturally relevant activities. Furthermore, contributors could problematise questions of status and power as well as the importance of culturally valued practices. In this way papers may reflect the diversity and complexity of post conflict cultures, their currency and significance. The panel therefore invites proposals engaging with the multiple lineages and usages of culture within post conflict South Asia that continue to inform their contemporary livelihood and development potential. Panel Convened by: Neelam Raina MA (Textiles), MA (Design), PhD (Design and Development). Middlesex University, London. DEADLINE FOR PAPER ABSTRACTS – Please email abstracts to email@example.com by 28th of Feb 2014.

Historical Traveler Reviews The Wharney Guang Dong Hotel Hong Kong
Decent hotel for the price
Being the budget travelers that we are, we choose the Wharney Hotel for it low prices and central location for our 10 day Hong Kong vacation in early January. It is also one of the few hotels that allow children under 2 years old, and we had our 1 year old daughter with us.
To our surprise, the hotel really exceeded our expectations! The staff was very warm and friendly from check in to check out. We were given an non-smoking room on the 12th floor in the newer wing of the building. My parents ended up with a smoking room on the 11th floor, but there was hardly any smoke smell and their room had a slightly different, but nice decor as well. We were also pleasently surprised with the room size. Although on the cosy side, there was plenty of space for our 3 large suitcases and "baby stuff". Comparable to hotels in Tokyo of the same price, it was a very good value.
My parents did have some trouble with noise both from the street and from some unusually noisy upstairs neighbors one night (arguments and loud [--], which everyone on the floor could hear). The hotel wasted no time changing the room and they were relocated the very next day to a room facing away from the street and near a stairwell. Security staff was available 24 hours to handle such situations as well.
The location, although smack dab in the "night district" is very central and near every type of transportation Hong Kong has to offer. Restaurants are numerous. We tried several in the area including Thai, Indian, Chinese, Dim Sum, Turkish, American, Southeast Asian buffet, Chinese and Mexican restaurants and even got to know the owners of some of these places. People were very friendly and even "babysat" our baby while we ate!
Great choice for all types of budget or business travelers who want to enjoy Hong Kong!
Fine for the Price
We found it very good value as we needed 2 rooms as a family so it saved some money for other things like tours we booked from the Tour desk.
Some reviews I had read had me worried about standards and also what floor they would put us on but we were on the 11th foor and missed much of the traffic noise etc. We were next to the lifts which ran all night...this would apply to any Hotel ...these people dont sleep and like to arrive and leave at all hours and slamb doors so some ear plugs worked.
We were also worried about being ripped off for charges on our deposit etc but the staff were great and the room was cleaned daily and towels replaced . I would definitely stay here again subject to price, and its close to many usefull facilities...MTR banks food ,coffee etc .
PS we felt completly safe in this area which has the strip clubs and bars which provided for some amusing interest from our 2 boys. We were not offended or intiminated at all you accually dont see any thing accept neon signs....at least when you walked home at 1am there were "businesses open" and some activity and a 7/11 store etc across the road. You cannot compare to our own Kings Cross where I would not venture.
Good Budget Hotel
Not wanting to spend a fortune on a hotel which we only planned to sleep in, we have just had 9 days at the Wharney.
The rooms are small and in need of modernisation, although work was going on at the time of our stay. Rooms on the back don't have a view but they are quiet. Worth noting because Whanchai is very busy at night.
Didn't use the restaurant but there is a brand new basement Scottish bar - The Canny Man - which serves a huge selection of whiskeys and good bar food. Definitely worth a visit.
Don't stay at the Wharney if you want luxury, but for value for money it's hard to beat.
Moderate hotel, interesting night life
The hotel is clean, although the rooms are a little tired. The lifts are chronic- they only hold about 4 people, and it was virtually impossible to get a lift between 8 am and 9.30 to stop on the 8th floor. The staff are very friendly, and the breakfast is pretty good.
The district the hotel is in is interesting! There are certainly a number of interesting bars around, however there are also many girls dressed in various states of undress outside the strip bars that frequent the area. Despite this, the area seemed pretty safe and was always busy even late in the evening. The hotel however was surprisingly well insulated from the outside noise. The Wharney is reasonable, given it falls into the lower price range, but if you are going on a family holiday, you may want to consider a hotel a bit further away from the sights and sounds of Lockhart road.
Great hotel with good breakfast in a convenient location
I stayed at the Wharney for 3 nights and the only complaints that I would have were that the elevators are very slow (annoying if you're staying on the 21st floor!) and that the swimming pool is quite small. However, the rooms were a reasonable size and comfortable, the hotel is just 5 mins walk from an MTR (underground) station, and there are loads of good restaurants and bars within 2 mins walk. Contrary to the other reviews of this hotel, there is a restaurant which serves breakfast, and it serves a good mix of Chinese and Western foods (including baked beans and waffles). I would definitely stay here again.
8 days at The Wharney in March 2005
Stayed here from March 2nd and left on the 10th. It is not the best hotel in Hong Kong but considering how cheap (BA were offering special Hong Kong deals and we paid �88 total for 8 nights) we got it for, I was quite happy overall.
We had booked a non-smoking double but as we arrived at around 9pm, I assume they had all been given to guests who had already checked-in and we received a room with two single beds. This might sound inconvenient but we had 3 people in our room so it worked out OK and saved us from hiring an extra bed. Rooms were clean though a bit on the small side. Bathroom was OK and the shower was like a fireman's hose with it's water pressure, great.
The business centre was expensive $50 (HKG) for 30 mins on the internet or $90 for the hour. Problem was there was only one PC which must be 6-7 years old. Very slow but had I discovered there was an Italian Cafe 30 yards down the street with 3 fast PCs offering free access, I wouldn't have bothered.
Had breakfast just once and that was quite nice. Buffet style where you help yourself though not a massive amount of choice. No baked beans, hash browns or black pudding but this is Hong Kong not Rochdale. Still had eggs (fried and scrambled), bacon, sausages, chips (described as fries in the USA), cold meats, muesli and fruit juices. Probably missed a few things but it wasn't the breakfast buffet at the MGM grand !!
Located quite centrally so anyone reasonably fit can walk to most places from there. Wan Chai underground station is less than 5 minutes and is first hotel stop on the free bus from Hong Kong station.
I would board there again although the fact it's not part of any major group is a bit of a downer as any stay doesn't attract loyalty point or airmiles. What also irritated me is that to use facilities like the business centre and gym, there was an added cost.
Good value in a central location
I have stayed at this hotel many times due to its central location in Wanchai and the reasonably priced rooms. Recently (autumn 2004) the reception has been revamped, but the rooms remain the same. A bit on the small side and no spectacular views, but clean and equipped with everything you could want except for a safety locker (but I think this is only the case in some rooms). Don't expect anything extraordinary, but the staff is courteous and you get a free newspaper every morning. The hotel doesn't have a restaurant and doesn't offer breakfast (but there are cafes nearby). Recommended if you are in Hong Kong for the sights and not for the hotel.

Weekend in Hong Kong
... Kong is compared to Beijing. And western style bathrooms everywhere. Although more crowded, it did not feel the same as it does here in Beijing. Maybe because I could communicate with most of the people on the streets. Hong Kong is like a cross between New York and London. Small island with lots of people, who all drive on the wrong side of the road and sound so proper when they speak. Just loved it!

Grandma's House – Tosa Center Earns National NAEYC Accreditation
Submitted By Tonia Lilienkamp
Grandma's House Day Care -
"We're proud to have earned the mark of quality from NAEYC, and to be recognized for our commitment to reaching the highest professional standards," said Colleen Pomeroy, President of Grandma's House Day Care. "NAEYC Accreditation lets families in our community know that children in our program are getting the best care and early learning experiences possible."
To earn NAEYC Accreditation in the new system, Grandma's House Day Care went through an extensive self-study process, measuring the program and its services against the ten new NAEYC Early Childhood Program Standards and more than 400 related Accreditation Criteria. The program received NAEYC Accreditation after an on-site visit by NAEYC Assessors to ensure that the program meets each of the ten NAEYC program standards. NAEYC-accredited programs are also subject to unannounced visits during their accreditation, which lasts for five years.
In the 20 years since NAEYC Accreditation was established, it has become a widely recognized sign of high-quality early childhood education. More than 11,000 programs, serving one million young children, are currently accredited by NAEYC – approximately 8 percent of all preschools and other early childhood programs. "The new NAEYC Accreditation system raises the bar for preschools, child care centers and other early childhood programs," said Mark Ginsberg, Ph.D., executive director of NAEYC. "Grandma's House Day Care's NAEYC Accreditation is a sign that they are a leader in a national effort to invest in high-quality early childhood education, and to help give all children a better start."

Embedding Projects in Multiple Contexts: A Structuration Perspective
Stephan Manning
University of Massachusetts at Boston - College of Management
March 31, 2010
International Journal of Project Management, Vol. 26, No. 1, pp. 30-37, 2008
Projects are embedded in multiple systemic contexts, e.g. organizations, interorganizational networks and organizational fields, which jointly facilitate and constrain project organizing. As projects partly evolve in idiosyncratic ways as temporary systems, embedding needs to be understood as a continuous process linking projects to their environments. Using structuration theory, this paper argues that projects get embedded in multiple systemic contexts through the constitution of the very structural properties – tasks, times, and teams – that guide project activities. This implies that project constitution and embedding are inseparable systemic processes. This perspective on project constitution and embedding further elaborates a practice-theoretical understanding of temporary organizing.

Since the Ron Clark Ford/Miller Lite Tournament moved to Amarillo in 1991, there have been only two back-to-back winners.
Codie Scott, who captured last year's event with a birdie at the final hole, will try to become the third repeat winner when the annual tournament begins at 10 this morning at Comanche Trail.
Only Jerry Lockhart in 1992 and '93 and Kyle Kelting in 1997 and '98 have won back-to-back Ron Clarks. And both are entered in this year's tournament that features a field of just over 170 competing in low gross and low net divisions.
The winner could earn a berth in the annual tournament of champions, set for mid-August, joining previous qualifiers Tom Doughtie (defending T of C winner) and Steve Rogers (Duncan & Boyd Jewelers Senior Charity Classic winner).
Kelting is playing in his first Ron Clark tourney in three years, after winning it three times in five years beginning in 1994. The only other former winner entered is Wayne Harkrider, who took the title in 1999.
In all, 10 former or current tournament of champions qualifiers are entered in this 54-hole event that will be using both the Arrowhead and Tomahawk layouts.
In addition to Doughtie, Rogers, Lockhart, Kelting, Scott and Harkrider, the others are Brian Bim, Beau Burkett, Brent Bullard and Don Cofer.
Possibly the most attractive pairing of today's opening round features Doughtie, Scott, Rogers and Kelting going off at 12:>30 p.m. on the Tomahawk side of the 36-hole layout.
The tournament will use tee times today and Saturday, with half of the field playing each course. In other words, the players that play Arrowhead today will play Tomahawk on Saturday, and vice verse. Sunday's concluding round will be played at Arrowhead with shotgun starts set for 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.
A year ago, Scott's 22-foot birdie putt at the final hole enabled him to edge Amarillo High girls' golf coach Mike Self by a shot. Self had taken a one-shot lead with a birdie at 17, while Scott bogeyed the hole. At 18, Self could have forced a playoff, but missed a short par putt that enabled Scott to win his second summer individual tournament in as many years.

AKRON - Jim Tressel spoke at an open forum Thursday at the University of Akron as part of his bid to become the school's next president.
Currently the executive vice president for student success at the university, he addressed questions from students, faculty members and alumni. Throughout the hourlong forum, Tressel pushed team spirit as the driving force toward the future success of the university.
"Oneness is the foundation that any good organization needs. Oneness is what any good family needs," he said.
"Today is about the University of Akron. If we could inspire our students through our selfless behavior to have a passion to learn, they're not going to leave here. They're going to retain; they're going to complete. That's how we can create the extraordinary foundation to create that Akron experience," he said.
Tressel humbled himself throughout the interview, giving credit to others in Akron's administration whether during questions about finances or qualities he would seek in a provost.
Early in the forum, he discussed enrollment and finding ways to retain students, saying they have to find a way to reduce debt. "We don't want our students to go out into the world with that on their backs."
Dr. Elizabeth B. Erickson, an associate professor in the economics department, inquired about qualities he would look for when hiring a provost.
Tressel rallied his team once again, saying he would look for a confident person who was as selfless as he or she could be.
"Intentionally working hard for the needs of others is the No. 1 characteristic of that person, because it is so crucial," he said, adding that a provost would have to be selfless, a great communicator, a listener, have great experiences and have the ability to bring a varied set of opinions together and come to consensus in selfless manner to decide what the university can be great at.
The former Youngstown State and Ohio State football coach was also pressed to address the financial tension between academics and athletics and the perceived bias he would have toward athletics. Tressel denied that bias, saying he would hate to be an athletic director working for a president who once held that job.
Ideally, the university should "spend a little less and get a little more revenue in both academics and athletics," he said.
His coaching background rang out in his exit as he said, "There's amazing things being done in academics. There's amazing things being done in athletics. The spirit is amazing, but can we get a lot better. The only way we'll be extraordinary is if we work to be as selfless as possible as we try to get better ... to fully believe that every single one of us is insignificant without the others."
Tressel heads to YSU next week for another open forum as he pursues the president's job in Youngstown as well.
In addition to meetings with university students, faculty, executive staff, deans, union leaders, YSU Foundation representatives and community leaders, he will meet in an open public forum from 2 to 3 p.m. Monday in the Board of Trustees meeting room on the first floor of Tod Hall.
His competitors for the position include Gary L. Miller, whose open forum takes place from 2 to 3 p.m. Tuesday, and Mary Cullinan, who speaks to the public from 2 to 3 p.m. Wednesday.

Charles Fry said 2010 is a year to concentrate on making contacts with customers, establishing credibility and branding the region as the U.S. spot for growing edamame.
Fry, a partner with his father, Jerry Fry, in American Sweet Bean Co. of Old Fort, said the business is steadily growing.
"This year's all about sales for us. We have good customer contacts established," Fry said. "We know how to grow it.
"We still think we can grow 3,000-4,000 tons in this region - several thousands acres," he added.
It will take a few years for the company to get there.
"The selling process is always challenging," he said. "My impatience comes not so much from needing to do it all right away. I just don't want us to get cut off by another part of the country.
"I want to see Ohio established as the prime place to grow this crop in the U.S.," he said. "We're expanding the tonnage up about 25 percent over last year."
Fry declined to be specific on acreage, yields and other details because he said he wants to protect Ohio's opportunity. He said that would provide too much information for competitors.
"I want to protect our advantage for as long as possible," he said. "We're trying to be as careful as we can."
Fry said the company hopes to enter the national food industry soon.
"There's a big jump between being a grow-local, buy-local business and going national," he said. "There's this canyon you have to get over if you're going to be in the national food business."
There are 15,000-20,000 tons of edamame imported into the United Stated from China each year, he said.
"This year we'll grow a few hundred tons," he said. "(Buyers) want to know they're going to have a year's supply."
Fry said he is walking a fine line between growing the bean and selling it.
"The reality of farming is we get one shot a year," he said. "We could have a customer show up in July and they want to buy, but there's nothing he can do until the following spring."
Fry said the economic downturn has slowed the process.
"The one thing that we can't change is that we can grow one crop a year in Ohio," he said. "We have commitments now for everything we'll grow this year.
"The timeline is very interesting. I'm trying to satisfy the guy two years down the road," he said. "Three years is what it amounts to when you lay it all out.
"It amounts to three years of guessing," he said. "And because of the way farming works, some of those guesses can't be undone."
Fry said some U.S. companies are interested in replacing their Chinese imports with American-grown edamame.
"We want to replace Chinese supply with American supply," he said. He estimated that goal will take four or five years to reach.
"We think U.S. consumption is growing 8-10 percent a year," he said. "It just keeps getting bigger, but you have to figure out how to get started."
In the meantime, Fry said he is working with the University of Tennessee to develop edamame varieties suited to Seneca County soils.
He said he acquired a small number of seeds of an Asian variety and spent much of the winter in Central America working on developing seed.
"I'm not down there to harvest edamame as a crop, but I can harvest it as seed," he said.
He said he planted a crop in November and harvested in February.
"We cleaned, bagged and shipped it back up here and we grow it again up here," he said. "We just grow and harvest until we get enough seed to plant a field. If we do that only in the U.S., it takes twice as long."
But Fry said he sees a bright future for edamame and the American Sweet Bean Co.
He sees packages in the freezer section of grocery stores and would like to see the vegetable as part of the school lunch program.
During a recent agriculture education day for county fourth-graders hosted by Seneca County Farm Bureau, Fry taught students about the new food and encouraged them to taste it.
"Seventy-five percent lined up to take handfuls with them," he said.

What is it?
The William Moultrie is a cocktail on tap at The Obstinate Daughter featuring locally made Highwire Hat Trick Gin, freshly juiced cucumber water, grapefruit juice, key lime juice, simple syrup and soda water. The drink is garnished with basil picked from the restaurant's herb garden. The basil is "slapped" to release its essential oils and provides a bit of theatrical flourish to entertain and amuse the guests.
Who's buying it?
Gin lovers. Perfect after a day at the beach, it parlays refreshment, astringency and thirst-quenching properties.
What's the price?
What's the story?
In the planning stages of opening The Obstinate Daughter, the team picked out several names that paid homage to the battle of Fort Sullivan in 1776. William Moultrie stood out because he played a major role in the American victory.
John Aquino, a five-time mojito master and winner of the Bacardi Challenge and award-winning mixologist, developed this cocktail for the bar menu. The William Moultrie reflects one of the hottest bar trends today because tap cocktails save time and money.
Who's selling it?
Enjoy the William Moultrie at The Obstinate Daughter and try other tap cocktails at Indaco (the Negroni), and the punch menu (Dickensian and Chatruby Rye) at Edmund's Oast.
Customer Melanie Dewolf reports on her first Moultrie: "Frank the bartender poured me this on Monday and I can't stop thinking about it! The perfect apres beach cocktail!"

text: I now have just over 3000 miles on my 2009 Prius. About 200 miles ago the brakes started to make a noise like the pads were without pads, just metal, so when applied they'd sound like metal to metal contact. (Harken back to when we were young and didn't have the money to replace brake shoes when needed.) I took the car into the dealer from where I bought it and two hours later they said there had been rust on the rotors and that the rust had gotten into the pads. They said they sanded the rotors and the pads clean and they're now good. It was true, no more noise. When asked how they got rusty this fast the service manager said he didn't know, maybe when coming over on the boat. And he said they'd never had that problem with any other Prius. Just today, one week later, I noticed the sound had returned...metal to metal rubbing, only from the front it seems. Has anyone else heard of this or experienced it and does Toyota's explanation make sense. Thank you.

Counting on uncertainty
Climate change has already impacted rural communities across Africa, exposing them to increasing hazards. Adapting to these is vital to ensure economic growth, peace and security.
August 14, 2012 // Written by:
Climate change impacts are expected to significantly erode part of societies' economic, social and environmental capitals. Possessing the resources to adapt and develop resilient, sustainable livelihoods exist in developed economies but much less so in developing economies. In an environment of competing financial demands and a drive to ensure that every pound invested is maximised, the critical question is whether investing in adaptation to climate change projects is economically efficient i.e. whether the benefits they create to societies outweigh their implementation and opportunity costs.
And if so, how clear-cut are these benefits given pervasive uncertainties relative to future impacts of climate change?
Economic assessments of climate change adaptation interventions usually concentrate on macro and regional scales. Similarly, adaptation interventions pushed by multilateral donors and agencies focus disproportionately on so-called "hard" adaptation measures, such as infrastructural investment or grand scale productive change, in order to spur developing countries' resilience to current and expected climate change impacts. Without downplaying the potential benefits of investing in macro scale "hard" adaptation, a further question is whether "soft" and bottom-up adaptation measures, notably at community or local levels, can equally constitute an effective response to climate change and a viable alternative or complement to macro-scale top-down interventions; and if yes, to what extent and under which conditions?
Through an analysis of community based adaptation within the framework of the Adaptation Learning Programme (ALP), of which CARE International is the implementer, this study aimed to assess whether investing in community based adaptation is economically efficient and effective – holding all else, i.e. future regional or national scale transformations, equal. To this purpose, two communities in Garissa County, North East Kenya, one pastoral and one agro-pastoral, were consulted to provide case studies within a broader objective to investigate the case for investing in community based adaptation.

Social networking sites 'a distraction'
Ciara O'Brien
We're a skiving lot apparently. According to new survey, more than half of office workers are logging on to social networking sites they should be working.
So instead of answering calls, emails or generally keeping our employers' business running smoothly, half of us are logging on to play Bejewelled or throw a sheep at someone. Or Twittering incessantly.
Of course, that's only the 52 per cent who are admitting to it. Who knows what the real figure is.
Meanwhile, 69 per cent of bosses believe that Twitter and its ilk are a distraction to employees.
This has, inevitably, led to a call for a total ban on social networking at work by those who carried out the survey, employment law consultancy firm Peninsula Ireland.
Says managing director Alan Price: "If social networking websites are no use to you; ban them. We are trying to fight our way through a recession and so businesses need a focused workforce. Employers need to take a tough stance on the subject of social networking and tell their employees that they will not tolerate the use of these sites during working hours. The problem has been around for a while and employers acknowledge the fact that they are having a negative impact on their business but do nothing about it."
Of course, a total ban won't suit all businesses. Twitter, for example, can be a useful tool for journalists to track new stories. Others use Twitter to chase up new opportunities, or even to market their business's services.
But a lot of businesses won't see the same benefits, instead seeing only the endless timewasting opportunities.
Personally, I don't think banning them is the answer. For every distraction offered by social networking sites during working hours, employees could point out two more within the office itself. Colleagues. Unnecessary phone calls. Numerous pointless "reply all" emails. the junk mail that clogs your inbox every day. And you can't ban them all.
Plus, you can access the sites through most mobile phones these days. Work resources aren't the only way to get online.
Price, however, takes a hard line.
"There is an argument for the use of social networking sites within some industries however where there is no advantage to your business, you need to ban them. Be firm with staff if they insist on accessing the sites during the working day and show them that these misuse of resources will not be tolerated."
So there now. You've been told.

Gone back and forth. DVOA says BJax has a much better matchup (-28% Def DVOA for Tennessee, whom Mendenhall faces on the road; 1.8% def DVOA for Buffalo, who visits Green Bay). However, Jackson's usage is more of a question mark -- will he lose the goal line carries? -- yet Mendenhall's score last week came mostly from his overtime run. Of course I could start both but that would mean benching Forte and I don't want to do that as our league scores half a point per reception.
4 replies , Last at 18 Sep 2010, 6:05pm by tally
Depends on your scoring a bit, but the Buffalo at home matchup might be the next best thing to having a running back going against the Colts. The Packers should beat the Bills by a lot, which means more TDs to be had and more chances to run the ball. Also, the Stealers are staring their 3rd string QB. I would put too much into the DVOA ratings this early in the year.
I think that is basically right. Forte and BJax it is!
Not to steal your question, but I'm in a similar spot. I'm benching Forte for Mendenhall this week (my other starter is Ahmad Bradshaw - playing at Indy). Could be making a mistake? What was your rationale for going with Forte?
DVOA likes Mendenhall's matchup with TEN: +9%.
I think he'll have more overall opportunity than BJax and a better matchup than Forte.

Countdown to Kickoff 2013 has begun
High school football season is still almost two months away, but the Erie Times-News sports staff is getting ready for Kickoff.
We've begun work on the fourth edition of our Kickoff preview magazine, which will be available to District 10 fans in mid-August.
(The past two Kickoff covers are featured on the front of today's Varsity Letter e-newsletter.)
As the sports staff has learned during the past three summers, producing the Kickoff is a challenging task that consumes a lot of time and focus. However, it is a labor of love for the staff.
What makes the 116-page magazine such an ambitious undertaking is the scope of the project. Instead of focusing on teams just from Erie County and neighboring Crawford County, the magazine instead looks at all of District 10's teams.
It's a challenge to gather all of that information and compile all of those photos when many of the teams haven't begun serious preparation for the season.
As part of that mission, we've begun the Summer Huddle preview series on the Varsity blog. Each day, a different team is featured as we countdown to the season. It's a great chance for fans to get an early look at their favorite teams.
High school football fans also have a couple of other events to look forward to before the season. The 75th annual Save-An-Eye Game, which features the recent graduates from Erie County, is scheduled for July 26 at Veterans Stadium. The first day of fall practice is set for Aug. 12. In the meantime, teams will conduct summer conditioning sessions.
All of this will lead to the opening night of the season Aug. 30.
Fans can look forward to that opening kickoff, along with the Kickoff, which will be available at Country Fair stores in mid-August.
Varsity Letter feedback:
The next Varsity Letter will be sent July 19. To provide feedback or ideas, send an e-mail to email@example.com. Write "Varsity Letter" in the subject line.

Ship Storm
The lines in the fight to fix America's broken food aid programs have been drawn upon clear and understandable lines. In the pro-reform camp we seem to have major editorial boards, including the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, and New York Times. Think tanks across the political spectrum, including the Heritage Foundation, the CATO Institute, the American Enterprise Institute, and the Center for Global Development have also been unusually non-partisan in lining up to support the reforms advocated by the Obama administration. Major humanitarian organizations, including Oxfam, Care, and Save the Children have also been outspoken advocates for reform. In short, anyone who has taken a serious look at the issue seems to agree that the current system for delivering food aid is just this side of crazy.

We recently reported from a population-based study that prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer is associated with better 10-year prostate cancer mortality compared with other therapeutic options including radiotherapy after accounting for therapeutic selection bias.1 Following this publication, 3 letters to the editor questioned the validity of our study, mainly because of its observational nature. Roach refuted our conclusion, arguing that our study lacks data on comorbidities that probably differed according to treatment group and, because of miscoding the cause of death, particularly among elderly patients, the radiotherapy group was overrepresented. To sustain his point, Roach referred to a study from Switzerland based on routine mortality data provided by the Federal Office of Statistics.2 Also, he pointed out that patients treated with radiotherapy with and without hormone therapy had better cause-specific survival (90%) in one clinical trial than what we observed among patients who underwent surgery (83%).3

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama - The space world is watching a rare stellar blast this month in a galaxy not so far away. Tonight, if the sky stays clear, you can see what has everyone so excited if you're near the University of Alabama campus.
Supernova SN 2014 J exploded into our view earlier this month in the galaxy M82. As galaxies go, M82 is next door at only 12 million light years away. That means the supernova - or exploding star - is now visible on many telescopes including the one at the university even though it actually exploded some 11.4 million years ago.
UA physics and astronomy professor Dr. William Keel says the public is invited to the rooftop observatory on Gallalee Hall tonight from 8 to 10 p.m. Gallalee is located near the University Boulevard and Hackberry Lane intersection.
There, you'll get to look out of UA's 16-inch Ritchey-Chretien reflector telescope at the supernova, the moon and other celestial objects. Wear your gloves, Dr. Keel says.

year Apple hires private inspectors to perform an independent audit of its vast
network of global suppliers. These inspectors scour the partners for
signs of labor abuses. That's a bit unusual in the corporate world that
usually casts a blind eye to such things. What is more unusual is that
Apple publishes the report airing its "dirty laundry", so to speak,
for all to see.
Like the last
couple years, this year's report [PDF]
wasn't all roses. The report found abuses at many of the 127 plants
worldwide that make Apple products.
One of the biggest problem areas was child labor. By law in China
children cannot work until they turn 16. But Apple found that 91 children
were working at 10 of its suppliers' Chinese plants. In one case Apple
discovered that a plant had cooperated with a vocational school to fake
documents for 42 children to work. Apple terminated its relationship with
that factory.
Another major problem was unsafe working conditions. In one case, workers
at a Wintek plant were using the toxic industrial solvent n-hexane in an
assembly and cleaning process. The company had allowed the building's
ventilation system to fall into disrepair and vapors from the organic solvent
poisoned dozens of workers. Apple has demanded the plant fix the
ventilation system and stop using the n-hexane.
Other problems discovered include excess working hours and workers being
shorted overtime pay. Also suppliers overcharged migrant worker
employment agencies in Southeast Asia $3.4M USD. Apple is forcing them to
repay this sum.
Interestingly, Apple praised embattled supplier Foxconn for its steps it took
to prevent more deaths following a spate
of suicides early last year. Foxconn, which employs 920,000
people in China, responded by raising
pay rates and installing
"anti-jumper" nets on high buildings in its factory towns.
Apple says these measures "definitely saved lives", though it
adds, "We were disturbed and deeply saddened to learn that factory workers
were taking their own lives."
Despite Apple's unusual openness about its labor problems and its apparent
attempts to fix them, it often is criticized as one of the electronics
industry's most destructive players in terms of labor and environmental abuses.
The key reason for this is Apple's demand for utmost performance and quality at
the lowest cost. Apple maintains huge margins on its high-end gadgets and
it is ruthless in its negotiations to obtain lower prices, dropping suppliers
if they can't keep up.
As a result some manufacturers are looking to cut corners in various ways.
For example Wintek used n-hexane at its factory in Suzhou, near Shanghai,
because the compound cleaned device screens better than alcohol, leading to
lower defect rates. Wintek never told Apple about the switch, hoping it
would give it a secret edge over contract competitors. The plan obviously
Chinese environmentalist Ma Jun, of the Center for Public and the Environment,
has helped various activists in China to compile a rival report entitled "The
Other Side of Apple" [PDF]. The report blasts Apple's quality
and price demands, accusing the company of setting up an environment conducive
for abuse.
The report surveyed multiple companies and found that Apple was the worst at
dodging requests by environmental advocates for investigations, despite its
yearly internal study. Mr. Jun told the
San Francisco Chronicle, "We originally thought that Apple, as a
corporate citizen, would take a leadership role, but now we feel they ended up
as the most obstructive."
quote: ...if this was, say, Martha Stewart products, or Disney products, or pretty much any other brand of products, there'd be so much wailing and gnashing of teeth with protests and media coverage that the stock value of said company would plummet to the ground in a day.Since it's Apple, though, the net effect will be zero. Hell, they could include random artifacts from each of the child laborers they have building their products and their sales would stay at the same levels.
quote: Unions is a joke. Look at UAW. They don't even need to work and they still getting paid, but guess what you can't fired them.
quote: Obviously the thing to do is switch to tech products made by another company that are not manufactured in China under such conditions ..... eh....wait a minute.... eh.....
quote: Where is their moral responsibility when is come to exploit cheap labor abroad?

10 Things I Hate About You
Ten things I hate about this movie:
1. That little Joseph-Gordon Levitt punk makes me want to projectile-vomit popcorn.
2. Ooh, goody, the ninetieth consecutive modern-day movie based on Shakespeare.
3. No-name actors impossible to distinguish.
4. The next pinhead to make a high-school comedy should be drawn and quartered and the pieces set on fire.
5. I'm supposed to believe that between two gorgeous sisters, Kat (Julia Stiles) has no friends and Bianca (Larisa Oleynik) has never had a date?
6. The guy (Heath Ledger) who eventually "tames" Kat practically has the words "Male Underwear Model" tattooed across his forehead, yet we're supposed to believe he's some sort of badass.
7. Last half of movie turns into extended MTV music video, only with weaker acting.
8. Kat flashes teacher (David Leisure), allowing Patrick to escape detention. No gratuitous breast shot is used. She may be underage, but that's what no-talent, silicone-laden body doubles are for. I hear Anna Nicole Smith is looking for work.
9. Stupid names used to remind me that this is based on Shakespeare's "Taming of the Shrew," just in case I was too stupid to figure out "Patrick Verona" or "Padua High School."
10. Father (Larry Miller) of Kat and Bianca -- the one who causes this whole story by not allowing Bianca to date until her older, shrewish sister does -- is about as likely to share genetic material with swamp rats as with these two blond chicks.

Re: Comic files don't appear on micro SD cardAlbionRose Oct 5, 2013 10:16 AM (in response to Smegsie)
I seem to remember that someone posted on this forum that they were having issues with files that had a # in the title. When they changed the name of the comic file to exclude the #, all was well again.
Do your file names contain any non alpha numeric symbols that could be confusing the operating system?
Re: Comic files don't appear on micro SD cardSmegsie Oct 5, 2013 3:28 PM (in response to AlbionRose)
Thanks, but that doesn't seem to be the answer, I removed the speacial characters from the files (only certain folders had them), it's still happening with the ones I renamed and the ones that didn't contain special characters.
Re: Comic files don't appear on micro SD cardSwamprat Oct 5, 2013 3:37 PM (in response to Smegsie)
Have you tried formatting the card as exFat? Ithink that is the preferred format for the HD series althouh it is primarily to allow large file sizes. Have you tried transfering the files with the card in thenook rather than in an sdapter? Havr never trird cbr/cbz files but have had success with many large PDF files.
Good Luck!

Thanks, but have tried both of these with the same result

NEW PROVIDENCE — The Republican Committee isn't letting any grass grow under its feet. It fired the first salvo of the 2014 campaign for the mayoral race on Wednesday night by endorsing former Mayor Al Morgan as its candidate.
Councilmen Armand Galluccio and Robert Robinson also earned the Republican Committee's endorsement and a place on the Republican line.
More than 150 people came to hear the announcement at Creative Wallcoverings & Interiors. Every member of the council was there except Michael Gennero, who had a death in the family, as were mayors and politicians from surrounding towns, including, Cranford, Mountainside, Summit, Springfield and Berkeley Heights and State Assemblywomen Nancy Munoz and Jon Bramnick.
On Thursday, Morgan said he had been approached by residents, business owners and friends from other towns who "asked me to run again" and decided he would because he was not happy with the way things are going in the borough. Morgan was mayor of New Providence for two terms, from 1999 to 2006. He has continued to be involved in the borough's Office of Emergency Management, the library and the Lion's Club.
According to published reports, Robinson spoke of Morgan's history of seeing consensus and his ability to work with the council.
Morgan's campaign manager is Nadine Geoffroy, who served as Mayor J. Brooke Hern's campaign manager when Hern defeated Morgan in the 2010 Republican Primary. At the time, Morgan had the support of the New Providence and Union County Republican committees, as well as State Sen. Tom Kean, Jr., Munoz and Bramnick.
On Thursday, Councilman Jim Madden said, "Al Morgan has a documented track record of breeding collaboration and harmony among the role of mayor and borough council. This council is one hundred percent united in support of Al Morgan as the next mayor of New Providence. Since my appointment in April, I have experienced the disharmony and interference of Mayor Hern within established council committee assignments."
Hern, reached by phone on Thursday, said he did not know Morgan was running, "I've been so busy with my duties as mayor I have given no considerations to politics. I find it extraordinary that the Republican Committee met in January to give the party line to Morgan." Normally the committee meets in April.
While Hern has not decided whether he will run in the primary, he definitely had an opinion on Morgan, whom he called "probably the weakest candidate the Republican Committee could possibly choose. He has policy and personal issues that need all the extra strategy the committee could possibly come up with. I'm not concerned with this."
As for his former campaign manager now leading Morgan's campaign, Hern said, "She can choose the direction of irresponsible overdevelopment I fought against and put an end to as mayor. I am removed from politics and have been. I am not part of the political organization. I don't waste my time on chicken dinners and long-winded speeches on nothing like my adversary does. My focus is on community service."
The one thing that is of "a little concern to me is that if I choose not to run, Al Morgan will be mayor," he said.

Adonis Johnson (Michael B. Jordan) never knew his famous father, boxing champion Apollo Creed, who died before Adonis was born. However, boxing is in his blood, so he seeks out Rocky Balboa (Sylvester Stallone) and asks the retired champ to be his trainer. Rocky sees much of Apollo in Adonis, and agrees to mentor him, even as he battles an opponent deadlier than any in the ring. With Rocky's help, Adonis soon gets a title.

Paul Kuharksy leads a rather intellectual discussion about Austin Collie's fate following his latest concussion:
Should the Colts cut him?
I don't know. It seems extreme to me.
Maybe they can move more slowly in that direction. He wouldn't have a say in the team putting him on IR, and for the price of his base salary ($1.308 million) they could ensure he doesn't play this season and buy time for him, and them, to make the more long-term decision.
That's really the best way to keep him from playing football this season.

The Georgia Department of Transportation has posted its list of local projects that are eligible for the $932 million that Georgia will get in federal stimulus money for highway projects.
It's not the final list of projects that will be done, just a list of projects that meet required criteria.
The DOT also posted the list of ineligible projects, which were rejected for various reasons. Out of 850 requests, can you guess the number of projects the DOT rejected because they were "not a transportation project"?
It's 103.
Now, some of those kind of sound like transportation projects. Welcome centers were rejected, as were parking decks. Some projects the DOT lists as "not a transportation project" despite the fact that the project is clearly identified as a street. I'm asking the DOT to clarify that.
UPDATE: From David Spear, DOT spokesman, who checked on several of the examples I describe above:
They were listed in the non transportation category because the only information we got was that they involved some type of drainage, either storm water or waste. In talking with the City subsequently, it was determined that regardless of how we classified them, they did not meet the federal requirements for ROW and environmental and also were not shovel ready.----
Then there's the amphitheater the city of Kennesaw wanted. Macon County wanted five new cars for its sheriff's office, some courthouse repairs and a new industrial park. Habersham County wanted upgrades at three fire stations. Jackson County wanted 5 new EMS stations and a trash compactor site.
You can download both lists here.
CORRECTION: I said $932 billion. Obviously it's $932 million.

January 6, 2011 | 8 Comments
Buies Creek -- John M. Kauffman Jr. D.O. has been named the Founding Dean of Campbell University's proposed College of Osteopathic Medicine. His selection follows a national search which attracted candidates from throughout the United States. Dr. Kauffman assumed his responsibilities on January 3, 2011. Kauffman was formally appointed Thursday, Jan. 6 at Campbell's Butler Chapel.
A medical educator for the past 17 years, Dr. Kaufmann obtained his medical degree from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed a residency in Internal Medicine at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He completed his undergraduate education at Allegheny College. Dr. Kauffman is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and the American College of Osteopathic Internists.
From 2001-2006, Dr. Kauffman worked for University Hospitals of Cleveland and established University based osteopathic residencies in Dermatology and Pediatrics. In 2006, he joined the Edward Via Virginia College of Osteopathic Medicine as the Associate Dean for Postgraduate Affairs and was promoted to Vice Dean for Postgraduate Affairs over the Virginia and South Carolina campuses in 2010. During Dr. Kauffman's time at VCOM, the number of residency positions grew from 40 to 280 positions in Family Medicine, Internal Medicine, Dermatology and Neurosurgery.
Campbell University President, Dr. Jerry M. Wallace, praised the selection committee for their success in bringing several qualified candidates to be considered to fill the dean's post: "Dr. John Kauffman is uniquely qualified to lead the university in establishing the first osteopathic medical school in North Carolina. Our success in establishing the nationally recognized College of Pharmacy has opened doors of opportunity for the medical school. Campbell's medical school will be committed to educating primary care physicians."
Dr. Kauffman and his wife, Sharon, have four daughters. They are looking forward to joining the Campbell family and making North Carolina their home.
The proposed medical school will seek accreditation by the Commission on Colleges of Osteopathic Accreditation with an anticipated opening date of August 2013. Architectural and engineering planning is already underway for a proposed 85,000 square foot facility. The possibility of opening a College of Osteopathic Medicine at Campbell has been under active consideration for almost a year. A decision is expected no later thanMay 2011.
Osteopathic Physicians are licensed to practice medicine in all fifty states of the United States with all the privileges and responsibilities of medical doctors. More than eight hundred osteopathic physicians currently practice medicine in North Carolina.Colleges of osteopathic medicine are located in Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia and at the following national universities: Michigan State, University of Ohio, and Oklahoma State. Currently, 80 North Carolina residents are enrolled in various osteopathic medical schools located throughout the United States.
Reasons cited for the feasibility study include the increasing shortage of primary care physicians in North Carolina, population growth in North Carolina and bordering states, an increase in the aging population, and the national health-care reform. According to the 2009 North Carolina Institute of Medicine Study, North Carolina has approximately 7,660 Primary Care Physicians or 8.8 per 10,000 population, which is below the national average of 9.43 per 10,000 population; medical school graduates choosing Primary Care have dropped 50% between 1997 and 2005; North Carolina is projected to experience a 12% decline in per capita physician supply by 2020 and a 26% decline by 2030; North Carolina's population is expected to increase by 17.6% between July 2007 and July 2020 and another 11.7% by 2030; the growth and aging of North Carolina's population is expected to increase demand (measured by annual visits to physicians) by 34% between 2004 and 2020; and persons 65 and older will increase by 33.7% between July 2007 and July 2020.
CampbellUniversity began addressing health care issues in 1985 with the establishment of the nationally acclaimed School of Pharmacy, which was the first new pharmacy school founded in the United States in more than 35 years. In addition to offering the Doctor of Pharmacy program, the school offers undergraduate and graduate programs in Clinical Research and Pharmaceutical Sciences. In 2009, the name was formally changed from the School of Pharmacy to the College of Pharmacy & Health Sciences to provide additional health science programs, including the newly established Physician Assistant program, slated to enroll its first class in Fall 2011.

If you are asking what auditing is possible, the answer is "as much as the designer of the shell cares to implement". Assume that this is an object capability system, and that the user's processes are each confined by the shell. When the program tries to communicate the file capability, it can only do so via a powerbox provided by the shell. This powerbox can implement whatever auditing and revocation facilities are desired. Note that the system may be a distributed cap system that uses some form of capabilities-as-data for remote access, but it can still implement this *provided* that the local subsystem can enforce authority confinement. ISTM that the remaining issues are of how to give the auditing/revocation facilities a user interface that makes it likely that they will be employed effectively, not anything fundamental related to the expressiveness of capabilities as an access control model. -- David Hopwood <david.nospam.hopwood at blueyonder.co.uk>

The liver does not filter mercury in a good sense, and accumulation of mercury in the liver is dangerous. The only option is to minimize exposure to mercury containing fish. Eat fish sources that are smaller, and therefore lower on the food chain, as less bioaccumulation of mercury will have occured.
In terms of data, I have none. You really need to search for information on individual fish sources and determine what you personally consider as a resonable amount of risk when comparing "safe" consumption levels.
