EurActiv.com, 8 April 2010 - Environment Commissioner Janez Potočnik yesterday (7 April) announced that he is preparing new measures for 2011 to reflect the true cost of natural resources in products and services and substitute virgin raw materials for waste wherever possible.
Next year the Commission will deliver "concrete plans to make Europe a resource efficient economy," said Potočnik, addressing the European Parliament's environment committee yesterday (7 April).
Resource efficiency is one of seven flagship initiatives under the 'Europe 2020' strategy for growth and jobs.
The commissioner said that the strategy's explicit reference to sustainable growth and environmental concerns constitutes recognition of the fact that "there are not enough of the world's resources to go round," with global population projected to reach nine billion by 2050.
"We have no choice but to radically change our production and consumption patterns" if the earth is to sustain future generations, he added.
Potočnik said the EU executive would be looking for policies that "create the economic conditions that will incentivise reduction in the demand for natural resources" by adopting a life-cycle approach (LCA) to measuring the environmental footprint of products and services.
LCA is used to measure the environmental impact of products throughout their life-cycles, from raw material extraction and production to consumption, reuse and final disposal.
The commissioner hopes to mainstream resource efficiency "in all sectors of the economy". The process will be accompanied by "the right integrated guidelines and monitoring and guidance mechanisms" at national level, he added.
'Umbrella initiative' on resource efficiency
At EU level, Potočnik hopes to gather support for "an umbrella initiative" to drive resource efficiency.
Such an initiative would include new measures to boost more sustainable consumption and production patterns, "adjust relative prices to reflect the true value of our resources" and increase demand for green products and technologies through public procurement, he said.
It would also include measures to promote better understanding of products' ecological footprints, "further substitute the worst performing products on the market" and give due consideration to waste and recycling's potential as a valuable source of secondary raw materials to substitute natural resources, Potočnik continued.
Niche technologies are not enough, the commissioner said. "Much wider and faster eco-innovation across the whole economy, including in new services sectors and households" is needed to achieve green growth, he explained. As an example of eco-innovation, he highlighted new business models for using, reducing and recycling waste to complement new technologies in the field.
With the help of his personal advisor on eco-innovation, Professor Frieder Meyer-Krahmer, Potočnik plans to work this year on a Commission initiative to support green technologies and new business models.
The initiative will include ways to beef-up eco-innovation through green public procurement, support business networking and measures to open global markets, he said, referring to the EU's potential to take the lead on global eco-innovation.
Turning to more immediate action, Potočnik said the focus is now on preparing a new global vision for biodiversity post-2010 in Nagoya, Japan, in October 2010.
Stressing the need to deliver, he pledged to work towards establishing "an ambitious, yet realistic and feasible biodiversity strategy" right after the negotiations in Nagoya. But the success of any biodiversity strategy will also depend on it being integrated into key sectoral policies, he added.
Recognising the EU's failure to halt biodiversity loss by 2010, the Commission tabled policy options for a new 2020 target in January. The options range from scaling down previous ambitions to stepping up the EU's contribution to halting global biodiversity loss.
The options are currently being discussed and the EU executive is set to present a new strategy by the end of the year.

July 24, 2000
Woodinview, an affordable housing development, is scheduled to break ground in Woodinville late this summer or in early fall.
On July 5th, King County Executive Ron Sims announced that $6.4 million in low income housing grants and loans to 15 development projects was awarded to King County. A portion of this award, in addition to money already allocated in 1999, is targeted for Woodinville, with $800,000 committed to Woodinview. The public funds will go toward 50 senior rental units, 50 family rental units, and 70 condominium units for home ownership.
"We're really excited to be working with the City of Woodinville," said Linda Peterson, Program Manager for King County Housing and Community Development Program. "Woodinview is very well designed. It has a park, a lot of open space, and it's going to be a real asset to the community. And it will be very inviting with a lot of green space and trees."
Located at 144th NE and NE Woodinville Way, Woodinview will sit on 22 acres of county surplus property which was assessed for suitable housing. 11 of the 22 acres are wetlands, and the other 11 are developable.
As to the need for the mixed-income housing in Woodinville, Peterson explained, "Rents and prices of houses for sale have increased faster than incomes throughout the whole region."
Arthur Sullivan, Program Director of ARCH (A Regional Coalition for Housing) said, "Average rents in East King County and in the Woodinville area are approaching $900 a month." Regarding home ownership, he said, "You need an annual income of $80,000 or more to afford an average size home."
Woodinview, Sullivan said, will benefit those earning an annual income of $40,000 to $80,000. "This is a program that is very much solid work force, teachers, nurses, that's them.¯
Sullivan said that the housing development is targeted for a wide range of needs and added, "It's in a neighborhood-type setting."
The senior rentals will be priced at or below 40% of the median income, which is $65,800. Half of the family rentals will be priced at or below 50% of the median income, and the other half will be priced at or below 30% of the median. Of the condominiums, 11 will be made available at or below 80% of the median, 9 will be available at or below 90%, and the remaining 50, at or below 120%.
The housing development projects are funded by the King County Housing Opportunity Fund (HOF), a local fund source using County current expense funds, and federal Home Investment Partnership Act (HOME) and Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds. The Woodinview developers include Shelter Resources Group, CAM West, and Downtown Action to Save Housing (DASH).

Baby, It's Cold Outside!
Hi, everyone! Okay, so my title is a little exaggerated as I live in Sunny Florida but we are least wearing long sleeves on some days! :)
Here are a few of my winter packs that celebrate the chills and thrills of the season!
I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season! :)
About Me:
Leah is a public school teacher turned home educator. She holds a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education and a Master of Arts in Theological Studies. After working in a first grade classroom for four years, Leah decided to use her passion for education to teach her own children. So began a journey that has entered its fourth year!
When she is not teaching her three girls (11, 8, and 3), you will find her reading a book or creating music. She also loves creating teacher resources and clipart for educators both in the schools and at dining room tables around the world! Thus, she added blogger to her resume.
To sum it up: God and family is life, reading is a love, music is a passion, and coffee is a necessity! :)

One of the most popular online marketing strategies today is article marketing. Simply put, article marketing utilizes articles to promote your business, product or service. You could improve your article marketing by submitting your articles to an article directory. Many people search for useful information from article directories for various purposes. These directories only publish articles that provide useful information, so when someone is looking for specific information, he or she is more likely to find accurate information from an article directory than on a search engine.
When you submit your articles to article directories, you get the opportunity to direct traffic to your site. This is an ideal opportunity to sell yourself or your services without having to pay advertising costs. Submitting to article directories is free, but the quality of the article must be good, since most directories have strict guidelines that must be followed before an article is approved and published. High Quality Writing allows you to take advantage of these directories. Our experienced writers have the ability to come up with content that will be approved on any article directory to which you choose to submit your articles.
In order for your article to be approved by the directory, there are certain guidelines that you must adhere to. For instance, depending on the article directory you choose, you may not be allowed to include HTML content. In such a case, you will have to ensure that you have anchor texts to get maximum links to your site.
Typically, you will be allowed to include links within the article as well as in the author bio section, where you are allowed to briefly talk about yourself or your business. However, including too many links in the article might cause your article to be rejected during article submission. Ideally, it would be safe to include one link within the body of the article and then 2 links in the author bio section.
In addition, it would be best to submit your articles to several article directories. Automated software may be used to submit your articles to various directories automatically. However, when possible, it would be better to manually submit the articles using your account in each article directory. Also ensure that the category you pick for article submission is relevant, so that potential customers can easily find it.
It is important to be consistent with your article submissions. As more articles are added to an article directory, older articles get lower listings. It is therefore important to ensure that your article submissions are consistent, which allows you to remain on higher listings with each new article. It is also not advisable to use the exact same articles that you use on your website for submission to an article directory, since this may trigger duplicate filters on search engines, eliminating one or the other from result pages during searches.
Every link that leads to your website online increases your rank on Google. A higher rank increases the chances of your article appearing on search engine results. However, with Google rankings, the ranking of the article directory to which you submit articles will be significant. You should therefore identify the top article directories so that they get priority during submissions. In addition, top article directories also have a lot of traffic and this in turn increases traffic to your site.
Submitting your articles to an article directory means that webmasters or blog owners who find the information useful may choose to publish the article on their web pages or blogs. This increases the number of links online that lead to your website, which in turn increases your website ranking. One quality article could soon appear in several websites, which translates to huge exposure and traffic for your website.
Creating your free account on an article directory should only take you a few minutes. Once you have opened an account with an article directory, the next step would be to carry out some keyword research to find out some of the keywords that will be most relevant for you. The articles must target these keywords while still ensuring that they are informative.
High Quality Writing provided article writing services that will ensure your article is keyword optimized for your benefit. The title, for instance, is very important, since you want to be unique while still ensuring that it includes the keyword. Your article directory account allows you to create a bio as an author. Since you get the copyright for any article you get from High Quality Writing, ensure that your bio is professional and appealing to the audience.
Writing an article for an article directory is not difficult, but there are certain aspects that will increase how much attention it will draw. You should pay close attention to the title, since it could determine whether your article will be read at all. The title should inform readers of what to expect within the first three or four words when possible.
The body of the article is also important since the bulk of the information you are offering is contained here. The body should be informative while still ensuring that you engage the reader so he or she does not get bored halfway through the article. Proper use of paragraphs and subheadings also make it easier for a reader to go through your article. The length of an article submitted to an article directory is typically between 400 and 500 words.
The resource box allows you to sell your product or service. This should contain your name and website, as well as your elevator pitch and a persuasive call to action. The elevator pitch allows the reader to know what you have to offer them, while the call to action is meant to get them to do what you want. A short summary that hooks the reader would also be ideal at the end. High Quality Writing offers the best article writing services to ensure that each article you submit to an article directory is profitable.

Obama's Lawyer Wants Donor List
I'm not a big fan of the Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United, but it is the law of the land. It has given rise to Super PACs raising and spending ungodly amounts of money to sway voters this way or that.
The ideal would be for campaign and PACs who support a candidate or issue to have those donations limited to individuals only. That means no money from religious organizations, no money from not-for-profits, no money from corporations, no money from unions, no money from associations, no money except from individual citizens.
But that's not the world we live in today.
President Barack Obama eschewed Super PACs until political reality "forced" him to "evolve" and embrace Democratic and other left leaning organizations and their politcal action committees.
One part of the Internal Revenue Service code allows these Super PACs, if classified as "social welfare" entities and not strictly formed for a political purpose, to not reveal who its donors are.
The President's lawyer, Robert F. Bauer, has sent a letter to Crossroads of America, the Super PAC co-founded by Karl Rove, demanding the release of its donor list. The President's lawyer claims that Crossroads is mis-classified and should be listed as strictly a political animal.
That is all well and good, but question is will the Democratic Super PACs also release the names of their donors?
Has the President's lawyer sent a similar letter demanding the donor list to Priorities USA Action, a Democratic Super PAC?
Why is it this is coming from the President's lawyer and not an attorney for Team Obama or the Democratic National Committee?
Should all Super PACs list their donors?
Should there be any exceptions?
As I stated before, my personal view is that all donations of a political nature should be restricted to individual contributions only.
From the Cornfield, is this another instance of Republicans bad and Democrats good?
If Crossroads must supply its donor list, shouldn't Priorities be required to do the same?

For its fourteenth year of celebrating Legends of Motorsport, the Petersen Automotive Museum, along with the Checkered Flag 200 Group, will present a "Tribute to George Follmer" program to be held at the Petersen Museum in Los Angeles on Thursday, November 8, 2012 beginning with cocktails at 6:00 p.m. The evening's festivities will include a gallery display of George Follmer-centric race cars and memorabilia generously supported by eminent collectors.
The tribute will brim with stories about George. Forty years ago, Trans-Am Champion Follmer, subbing for Mark Donahue, was under pressure going into Mid-Ohio's Can-Am race to drive Roger Penske's 5.4-liter twin-turbo Porsche 917/10, while the car's L&M sponsor coined a promotional button "Let George Do It!" The mantra stuck and fan fervor soared. Follmer drove the bristly 917, heeding team boss Penske's pit signal to keep going in his lead while others pitted for rain tires. Follmer won the race, inspiring media scribes to brand him "George Am." He finished out 1972 as series champion in Trans-Am and Can-Am—the only driver to win both series titles in the same year.
Another accolade came Follmer's way in '72, and remains very special to him. The American Auto Racing Writers & Broadcasters Association's Jerry Titus Memorial Award honored George Follmer as "Driver of the Year." Also, in August of '72 he simultaneously held Mid-Ohio's qualifying records for three major racing series—Can-Am, Trans-Am, and Continental F5000. Follmer would also later win the Trans-Am title for a second time in 1976 driving Vasek Polak's sizzling Porsche 934 Turbo.
At age 39, George was then the oldest driver to start an F1 race — it was 1973 at Kyalami, South Africa, where he finished in sixth place, a points-earning position in his very first Grand Prix start. Teamed with Jackie Oliver in Don Nichols' menacingly black DN1 Shadows, George's next F1 race in the UOP car was on the challenging Montjuich hill circuit in Barcelona where Follmer, finishing third, stood on the Spanish GP podium alongside winner Emerson Fittipaldi and second place Franc?ois Cevert.
There is so much in George Follmer's racing career that it seems there had to be two, or maybe three, Georges — not just the one and only. Filling his driving's three decades were Trans-Am, Can-Am, NASCAR, Champ Car, Continental F5000, the Indy 500, IMSA, IROC, FIA Makes, Bosch Super Vee, SCCA Escort Endurance Showroom Trucks, top qualifier in Fast Masters' Jaguar XJ220, and the enduros at Sebring, Daytona and Le Mans. He's in the Motorsports Hall of Fame, and on The Walk of Fame at Watkins Glen.
Of his upcoming tribute night at the Petersen, Follmer says, "I would like it to be a good time for everybody, because there aren't too many times at this point in our lives that we're all going to be together." Follmer himself was lucky to survive a horrendous crash during qualifying for Laguna Seca's Can-Am race in 1978, and George will tell about it.
Says Parnelli Jones, Follmer's 1969-70 Trans-Am teammate in their storming Bud Moore Boss 302 Ford Mustangs, "George proved he was a talented race driver, and he had a bubbly personality—not a sour puss by any means." They won the series title in 1970.
Tom Madigan, writing a book on Follmer, published soon by Ed Justice, Jr., first saw George at the old Palm Springs airport races, driving his Porsche. "He cleaned the field," Madigan recalls. "He was a very versatile driver, and also braver than Dick Tracy."
The Petersen's program will begin with no-host cocktails and a Museum presentation that includes cars and collected memorabilia representing George Follmer's life in motor-racing. The buffet dinner follows, then a multi- monitor video screening compiled of filmed and still photo highlights from George's extraordinary competition years. Renowned drivers and Follmer's friends we all recognize or have read about will be introduced to tell some of their best stories from knowing George Follmer, with the tribute evening hosted and moderated by Master of Ceremonies Bill Stephens. Among the VIP guests who've been invited are Dan Gurney, Parnelli Jones, John Morton, Tony Adamowicz and a number of other familiar names from George Follmer's racing past.
Because the Petersen Museum's tributes are routinely capacity audience sell-outs, early ticket purchase is a must for those who don't want to miss this "Tribute to George Follmer."

Should We Pay Moms to Breastfeed?Alice Gomstyn
Four words in a headline made me do a double-take yesterday: "paying moms to breastfeed."
My initial reaction was, "Yes! Sign me up!" followed by some off-key humming of the O'Jays' "For the Love Of Money." Yes, it would mean putting off my plans to wean Bitey McChomperson this month, but I figured I could just use some of the extra cash for more lanolin and pain relievers … the rest, meanwhile, I would set aside for a vacation, or a new outfit, or one of those fancy juicer things that makes spinach cocktails.
Alas, my dreams of conspicuous consumption were dashed when I read on — the breastfeeding compensation program is just a small pilot initiative in the U.K. for low-income women in communities where, as The Guardian reports, "breastfeeding is in effect stigmatised."
As a middle-class American who blogs about her own breastfeeding experiences constantly and publishes her posts on the web for thousands (OK, dozens) to read, I'm guessing I don't qualify. Breastfeeding doesn't make me feel stigmatized. Sore sometimes, yes. Stigmatized, no.
Back to the program: the U.K.'s Sheffield University plans to provide up to £200 — nearly $320 –in shopping vouchers over the course of six months to 130 women who breastfeed their babies. Researchers there want to determine whether a financial incentive would lead women to overcome unfortunate "cultural barriers against breastfeeding."
"Mums and babies have better outcomes if they breastfeed. In parts of the UK infant formula feeding is the norm. Mums haven't been breastfed themselves and haven't seen anyone breastfeeding. The skills required have been lost in some communities," said Sheffield University's Dr Clare Relton.
Not surprisingly, a number of folks across the pond have likened the plan to bribery and have come out against it. That even includes the Royal College of Midwives, which said in a statement that "The motive for breastfeeding cannot be rooted by offering financial reward. It has to be something that a mother wants to do in the interest of the health and well-being of her child," according to Salon.
Here in the U.S., reactions are mixed, even among the nursing moms who I heard from.
Like me, breastfeeding veteran Heather S. Klinefelter wouldn't have minded seeing some cash thrown her way.
"I breastfed for 6 years – would have LOVED to be paid for it!" she said in a Facebook message.
Another mom likened breastfeeding compensation to the free formula samples available to new moms: "Women get free formula. That's getting paid to use formula, isn't it?"
But mom Stephanie Flach told me those British pounds should be used for other things.
"I think the money would be better spent on free lactation consultants or pumps for those who need it, prenatal breastfeeding education, educating their employers on what it takes to pump at work, mandatory education of day care workers on how to feed a breastfed baby," she said.
Salon staff writer Mary Elizabeth Williams argues that society can work toward improving support for breastfeeding women and changing attitudes toward nursing…but that shouldn't stop the Sheffield experiment.
"Isn't it worth seeing, however they're initially motivated, whether mothers who otherwise wouldn't breast-feed at all might discover that nursing can be cheap and easy and very nice and whether they can then encourage their friends to do likewise?" she wrote.
What do you think? Should women in low-breastfeeding communities be compensated for nursing their children?

Nurses Seek Ejection of Union at Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center; Union Bows Out Of Two Other Hospitals
Union Officials and Healthcare Company Collaborated to Foist Unwanted Union on Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center
Houston, Texas (May 12, 2009) – With free legal assistance from the National Right to Work Foundation, nurses at the Cypress Fairbanks Medical Center have filed a decertification petition with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to remove an unwanted union from their workplace.
The nurses' decertification petition comes on the heels of the California Nurses Association (CNA) union's decision to withdraw its controversial petitions for unionization at the Park Plaza and Houston Northwest medical centers. Hospital employees became increasingly disillusioned with union officials after many nurses raised concerns about conflict in the workplace and the quality of patient care.
The California Nurses Association union originally obtained its monopoly bargaining privileges at Cypress Fairbanks through a once-secret deal with Tenet Healthcare Corporation. Company officials agreed to provide union organizers with assistance as part of an "Election Procedures Agreement," allowing CNA operatives to unionize the facility with relative ease.
The CNA-Tenet "Election Procedure Agreements" used in Houston and elsewhere typically included several provisions designed to quash anti-union dissent. Tenet managers were forbidden from answering hospital employees' questions about unionization, and employees who opposed a union presence were prevented from using company facilities to express their views. CNA organizers, on the other hand, were given wide-ranging access to company grounds to facilitate unionization, as well as a list of employees' home addresses.
The agreements between Tenet and the CNA also subverted the NLRB's oversight role for workplace elections. Under the union's scheme, the NLRB would merely count ballots and rubber stamp the union's monopoly bargaining privileges instead of supervising the entire process.
After enduring a coercive CNA organizing campaign, nurses at Cypress Fairbanks filed an employee decertification petition to eject the union from their workplace. Once the NLRB confirms that the petition includes signatures from at least 30 percent of Cypress Fairbanks employees, federal administrators will supervise a secret-ballot election to determine whether the union hierarchy will retain its monopoly bargaining privileges.
"CNA operatives forced their union on these health care professionals using legally questionable tactics," said Stefan Gleason, vice president of the National Right to Work Foundation. "We're happy to report that these nurses will finally have their chance to send the CNA union bosses back to California."

VH-l (Sat., May 7, 4 p.m. ET)
This special marks the reunion of the expansive '60s soft-rock group Traffic, who this week released their first album since 1974. At least it's a partial reunion, with charter members Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi (who has a face that makes Tommy Lee Jones's look cherubic) joined by hired studio help.
Though the new material sounds decidedly thin when juxtaposed with the group's classics like "Dear Mr. Fantasy," this is still an engaging piece of pop nostalgia. It's nice to see that Traffic still jams.
ABC (Sun., May 8, 9 p.m. ET)
A plague is upon the Earth, an unimaginably contagious and deadly flulike strain unleashed in a government germ-warfare experiment. With the population decimated, the forces of good and evil vie for the straggling survivors.
About the only person for whom this epidemic is good news is a nerd from Maine (Corin Nemec). The girl he has always had a crush on (Molly Ringwald) wouldn't go out with him if he was the last guy on Earth. Suddenly he's close to qualifying. Also spared from the scourge are a feckless pop singer (Adam Storke), a convict (Miguel Ferrer), a pyromaniac (Matt Frewer), a canny country boy (Gary Sinise), a noble deaf mute (Rob Lowe) and various others (among them Bill Fagerbakke, Ossie Davis, Ray Walston and Peter Van Norden). Showing up in cameos are Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Kathy Bates and Stephen King, who adapted his own apocalyptic novel for television. Ed Harris and Max Wright are eliminated early on.
The righteous folk, guided by a devout 106-year-old woman (Ruby Dee), gather in Boulder, Colo. The rowdies, under the sinister thumb of the devil-made-flesh (Jamey Sheridan), flock to (where else?) Las Vegas. Director Mick Garris does a good job of telling this big, challenging story in a crisp, comprehensible fashion, although he's eventually snowed under by the murky, quasimystical New Testament mumbo jumbo of King's parable. (For a far better, manageably scaled treatment of the theme, read the 1992 Tim Powers novel, Last Call.)
The miniseries, which continues Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, is entertaining. But is it worth eight hours of your attention? Not unless you're laid up with a bad flu bug you just can't seem to shake.
CBS (Mondays, 8:30 p.m. ET)
Norman Lear, the creator of All in the Family, puts a twist on his old hit. The selling is the same: the Bunkers' modest tract house in Queens, N.Y. But the outspoken head of the household is now Ernest Cumberbatch (John Amos), a grumpy African-American with a slogie wedged in his mouth. And he's not shouting at Meathead, calling him a "Pinko." He's having heated polemical arguments with his ultraconservalive son (T.E. Russell), in the course of which Pops calls him "an Oreo" and "Uncle Clarence Thomas Jr."
Yes, it's role reversal time. Ironic, huh? Slavishly so. But the politics grow more fuzzy with each episode (we're repeatedly told Amos is a liberal, but there's no evidence that this is the case). The result is a show that's talky, stale and rarely funny. You want provocative political humor? Watch Dennis Miller's live rantings on his new HBO show, Fridays at midnight.
CBS (Tues., May 10, 9 p.m. ET)
In this docudrama, Lorraine Bracco plays Diane Giacalone, an assistant U.S. attorney who devoted many years to bringing down New York City Mob boss John Gotti (Tony Denison). But the 1987 trial in which she prosecuted Gotti and six other defendants ended in acquittal, a verdict later clouded by charges of jury tampering.
The film labors from the opening scenes to establish that the fates of Giacalone and Gotti are intertwined, that they are two sides of a coin from the same Italian-American neighborhood.
This movie runs on alternating current. Every time the camera is on the swaggering Denison the mood is electric. He helps paint a dark portrait of New York City Mob life, where brutal men plot violence and extract tribute from the back rooms of seedy social clubs. Switch over to Bracco, with her lazy, disinterested manner, and the excitement evaporates. Casting Mercedes Ruehl in her role would have improved this film immeasurably.
The problem with Getting Gotti is that it keeps losing Gotti.
COUNTRY'S SAVVIEST STAR ROLLS out another flashy concert special, This Is Garth Brooks, Too!, for NBC on Friday (May 6, 8 p.m. ET). In his shows, the Oklahoma Everyman combines the ingratiating sentimental streak of country performers with the flamboyant showmanship of a rocker. Let's see Def Leppard match the pyrotechnics (literally) of Brooks's "Standing Outside the Fire." Believe me, it isn't easy to be this slick while appearing so sincere. Party on. Garth.

D/W do what they do well, but it's all surface. There's no profound understanding of the music. I love the shifts in colour in the performance from V/M: there's a playful spirit, the beautiful embodiment of characters, the slightly noirish tinge, the wistful S'Wonderful, and the terrific climax. It can definitely improve, and I expect it too, but the scores are so close that I really don't get how you can be so utterly dismissive of them, to be honest.

Lambda sensor is used in cars to measure the amount of residual oxygen in the exhaust. This value is used for optimization of fuel mix, in particular for controlling the ratio of fuel and air. At the optimum ratio most of the pollutants in the catalyst can be transformed into harmless substances. There are lambda sensors that react to jumps of resistance, of tension and broadband lambda sensors. Along with the oxygen content in exhaust gases, oxygen content in ambient air is also measured.
If the oxygen sensor is faulty, indexes of the exhaust gases are deteriorating. Control of exhaust emissions will help to identify the problem. Significant reduction of power during acceleration may also indicate a faulty oxygen sensor. Black smoke from the exhaust pipe is one of the signs that the lambda sensor has failed. Before dismantling check if the wire is in place. In modern cars information about lambda sensor functioning is displayed on the dashboard. The oxygen sensor cannot be repaired, it must be completely replaced. It is easy to replace the sensor and you can do it without any assistance.
The oxygen sensor is located between the catalyst and the exhaust manifold. The old tube is unscrewed and replaced by a new one. The presence of the inspection pit hastens the repair. After installation verify the exhaust value and analyse the indicators on the dashboard. Our online store offers you a wide assortment of car parts. You will easily find exhaust manifold, muffler, ESP, brake shoes, radiator grille, air filter, rear view mirrors and other car parts on our site.

Community Services Coordinator Marie Stakes is working to bridge the gap between the community, the city government and the police.
Photo by Jeff Switzer/Woodinville Weekly.
by Jeff Switzer
WOODINVILLE--The city that believes you can never have too much customer service has hired Marie Stakes as its Community Services Coordinator, a position newly created by the city in an effort to provide even better "red-carpet treatment."
Stakes is involved in a myriad of projects, including the Fourth of July fireworks planning and connections with the business community. And because her job is so new, she says her role with the city will probably change over time as the city changes. She added she's happy to be involved in the growth period for Woodinville.
"When the city incorporated, we said, 'We don't want to be King County; we want to be accessible and accountable and reasonable,' and we want to connect with the community," she said.
Stakes has been charged with the task of formalizing several code enforcement procedures and educating residents when there are violations, as well as crime prevention programs.
In that capacity, she will be drawing on her 4 1/2 years as the code enforcement officer for the City of Mukilteo, plus two years as a criminal investigator with the Environmental Protection Agency and then the Department of Energy.
"We go to court as a last, last resort," she added.
Some of her early successes have included a role in the tail end of the Kingswood Valley paving project, as well as dealing with some challenging illegal parking issues.
Her role as a liaison between the community and the city is a proactive one: She acts as a contact person for many issues, as well as producing and providing informational flyers for the community for city projects.
Her next task after the Fourth of July is to get rolling on the city's crime prevention programs, such as block and businesses watches, and presentations which she and community police officers have already started at the Waterford Apartments.
"This job has touched a lot of positive areas, things I can do in and with the community," she said. "And there is a lot of P.R. involved."

Historical Traveler Reviews ClubHotel Riu Negril
Definatly a 5* resort!!!!
Just returned from the Riu Negril yesterday (Aug 14-21). All the previous reviews were exactly right. The grounds were beautiful!! We arrived in the pm and the staff were all organized ready and set us up right away...no long wait and annoyance. Rooms were very nice...we had a standard room..I can only imagine the ocean views.
FOOD..AMAZING....im a picky eater so tend to not to expect much....but everything was so delicious I looked foward to eating every meal!! A la carts were delicious as well..I prefered Sir Andrews....excelent food and service. Dinner buffet my favorite - mexican theme night better then was in Mexico! Highly recomend the fresh fruit smoothies in morning...yummy!! HELPFULL HINT - we were unaware that the a la cartes are booked daily for that day and you can book as many times as you like...other resorts I stayed at you have to book them for the week and for just 1 time. Its nIce b/c you can go again and again but buffets were so good that there was no need other than once. They start booking the a la carts at 8 am in front of the brunch buffet..line up minimal and quick.
STAFF-wonderful!! I found we tipped much more than usual b/c of this so bring a lot of 1$. From morning to night they ask you how you meal and trip was - staff always wanting to talk and please you - my opinion service was beyond 5*. Try to sit near Andre in the buffet - sweet young man, very pleasant!
BEACH - 6/10. Im a beach person so in my opinion, it's not up to par for the resort or from what I expected from Negril, but for the price we-paid I cant complain. There is this sludge that makes the sand in the ocean sticky-like and murky. There are workers all day scooping this stuff out and they section off their work areas -which is good. There are better sections so look for those. It's still decent - just not impressive. Beach was nice - big stretch, alwasy chairs available at any time -no getting up early to reserve. Same at pool - but we spent minimal time there b/c we're beach people -but pools were very nice. We ventured to the Riu Tropical beach everyday and the ocean and beach was much better, you get a lot more sand on the beach and their water is great which is funny b/c its all in the same bay. But b/c Riu Negril is so immpressive - having to walk over to Tropical Bay wasnt bad - and that resort isnt as nice.
ENTERTAINMENT - Staff fun...shows terrible. Except for the Steel Band - dont miss that. I always enjoy the shows but there are chessy and lack creativity in my opinion....
SUGGESTIONS - If you are requesting or expecting a King size bed, I would strongly suggest bringing a King size fitted sheet - the use a flat sheet that just covers the top of the mattress so at night, its shifting around and you find yourself directly on the mattress. Also - bring an umbrella. It rained every afternoon and the hotel does have umbrellas, but if you dont get there right away - they are all gone. Its just easiest to have your own. Also - all the rooms are to one side the hotel ammenties so try to get building 1 or 2 to avoid long walks. We had building 2 so had no problem -heard some in building 4 say it was a pain. Lastly, Luigi's restaurant is open from after the buffet until morning for pizza and pasta but the 2 times we went they had no food and then only 2 types of pasta, no pizza - so I wouldnt suggest missing dinner to eat there as you may not always have luck. But again - buffet will stuff you happily.
All and all - loved the resort, loved Jamaica and would love to go back to Riu Negril again......
5-Star Look 2-star Service
My friend and I just returned from this resort on August 15, 2004. Anyone from Toronto arriving by Skyservice s/b aware that the flight arrives in Mobay around 7:30 p.m. (if it leaves on time). After going through customs and finalizing the bus situation with Sunquest the 1.5 hour ride to Negril you'll be getting there around 9:30 p.m. The buffet restaurant closes at 10 p.m. - so you better make a mad dash if you want to get something to eat other than pizza (that restaurant's open 24 hours). Anyhow I have to agree with another review about the Front Desk Mgmt - they are appalling. By the end of my week there, I made sure that the Asst. Gen'l Manager was aware of the hotel's faux pas. To describe the chaos at Front Desk would be equal to entering a lovely home and observing what looks like a whirlwind of chaos. The so-called managers at Front Desk - Melkis, Franklin etc. do not know how to communicate effectively or with proper English. That can be very frustrating when you're a tourist staying at a resort. Note: English is not a 1st language at this resort - Spanish, Italian, German all take priority. So it sucks to be Canadian, American or British. You not only have to awaken at an ungodly hour just to get into one of their a la carte restaurants, another added feature is you have to make a deposit of $10 U.S. to obtain and Iron & Ironing Board for your room (if they have any available that is). Don't worry you get it back b4 you leave. If you are enquiring about any tours, taxi services etc. the information provided will be different from each person at front desk. Left and right hand definitely not in sync. Check-out!!! This is very rigid (12 noon indeed). Any extension would be like pulling teeth. Make sure you double check your phone bill b4 you leave. My phone bill was reduced to $26 U.S. from a whopping $78 U.S. after I kicked up a stink. The phone will be turned off in your room on the day you are departing and I do mean by 6 a.m. if not earlier - so if you need to make a call back home to ie. pick-up arrangements better do that the day b4. So while the architecture is a definite 5/5 - the service is about a 2/5. For 1st time visitors like myself - if you wanna go to Jamaica and experience the history and culture - this resort is definitely not the place to be. However, if you liked to experience the warmth of the Caribbean sun, sand and palm trees while capturing the European old world charm of say Spain - go there. The old saying of when in Rome do as the Romans do - does not apply here. When in Riu Negril do as the Spaniards do. Final note: For those who have stayed at other Riu Resorts and have ventured to a nearby sister resort - don't even consider going to the sister resort in Negril - Riu Tropical...while you can shop at their duty free store - you will be duly kicked off their property. We certainly were!
Beautiful, Clean, Fun and Underpriced!
My family of four just returned from our trip (July 31-Aug.7) to Club Hotel Riu Negril. We travel every year to different Caribbean islands and 4+ star resorts, but this was the best. Our arrival was not so bad, the bus ride was 1 hour and 15 mins. on a smooth pathed road from Montego Bay Airport. We got the the resort by 9:30pm, and check-in was expedient. We ate pizza at Luigi's that night. I sent the resort an email asking for a room close by the pool, amenities and with a high nice view of ocean, and they accomodated every request (even though I only paid for a standard room). The rooms were bright, granite floors, large bathrooms with double sinks and a bar area with liquor dispensor and well stocked mini-bar. There are no coffee makers in the rooms. The resort is new, extremely clean, beautiful grounds with esthetically pleasing roman/greco architecture amongst lush gardens and palm trees.
The staff were excellent, and accomodated every request we had. The bar drinks are fantastic (try Blue Ocean and Miami Vice). Tipping was not required, but I brought a lot of $1 bills for most of the bar-tenders, maids or waiting staff that helped us (these people work long hard days for only $45US/wk., a few extra dollars really helps).
The beach is long and not as bad as some of the reviewers mentioned. I would recommend the 7 minute walk to the Tropical Bay anyway (Braids for women are cheaper along that stretch, and you can see some of the freindly locals). The water gets nicer the closer you get to that resort. Our Resort was bigger, cleaner, better pools (don't understand why Tropical Bay was more expensive?).
There are lots of Europeans staying at the resort, just like anywhere else, all very friendly. There are so many lounge chairs, reserving them early is not permitted nor required. We never had problems getting poolside or beachside loungers.
Resteraunt food was excellent. I could not believe how much meat they had at the buffet's! Lamb chops, Beef, Pork Roast and Turkey and Chicken daily. Lot's of healthy choices amongst the variety of other foods. Breakfasts were grand and the kids ate well. You have to line up before 7am for the A la Carte restaraunts. Sir Andrews was fancy and food was good. The Steak House had excellent Rib-eye steaks, but it is out-door (hot). We preferred the buffet after trying these out (more variety for the family). It is a very elegant dining room anyways.
The animation staff was very friendly and did their best to get us all involved in games during the day. The nightly entertainment was a little lame, but the Steel Band night is not to be missed! You may wish to bring mosquito repellent for evenings.
I do not recommend the Duty Free Shopping and Rick's Cafe trip. Duty free shopping was much cheaper at the airport before leaving (for liquor and other things - lots of better shops at the airport). Besides the trip is too long (5 hrs. in all). Rick's cafe is awesome, but I'd recommend the Catamaran ride instead, it is shorter and you can swim too.
In all, this was the best resort my family has stayed at. Definately a real 5-star and well underpriced for what you get (perhaps because it is still new). We drove past Couples, Sandals Negril, Beaches and this was by far a brighter nicer place to stay. We would definately return on a future trip. Have no worries and book Club Hotel Riu Negril - Yeah Mon!
An amazing resort!
My boyfriend and I went to the Riu Negril at the end of May 2004. It was fabulous. We had a beautiful room with a garden/ocean view. The food was amazing and there was food everywhere all the time. You were never hungry, that's for sure. The bar in your room was always stocked up and the service was really good. The ameniteis were great and the rooms were very clean and spacious.
My only disappointment was the beach. The beach was nice but the ocean was not clean, very mirky. The good thing about the hotel was that the Riu Tropical was was a 5 minute walk down the beach and their ocean was clean and beauriful. Another bonus was that you could eat at the Riu Tropical's restaurants and grab drinks from their bar. The hotel tells you that you can't use the Riu Tropical facilites but you can. This is the 2nd Riu resort I have stayed in and both times I was very impressed.
This is a great resort!
New & very nice
My husband and I (we are in our mid-20s) had a great time at the Riu Negril - July 21-28, 2004. The hotel is new and in beautiful condition. The staff are working hard, constantly cleaning and working on the beach, etc. They were all friendly and very helpful.
I would definitely recommend this hotel. We got a great price, so that made it even better.
We had no problems with the staff or any hotel policies. Our plane to go home left late in the day, but there were shower rooms available and a locked room to store luggage, so we were able to swim and stay on the beach long after checkout.
You can see the ocean from pretty much every room - they all have balconies or a terrace. There is a fridge in each room with bottles of beer, pop, and water, as well as a mini-bar with rum, vodka, brandy, and gin. The rooms are nice - you control the A/C, there is also a ceiling fan.
The pools are fine, there are two, one with a swim up bar, they were a little crowded during the middle of the day though.
Every night there are shows/musicals, these were a little cheesy, but sit near the bar, have a drink or two, and they are plenty entertaining. The bars have a good selection - and the mango daiquiris are great!
The steakhouse was great, the international gourmet restaurant was okay, and the buffets were good too. Breakfast at the Green Island is wonderful - there is a fresh smoothie/juice bar, and tons of selections. You need to make reservations at 7 am for the steakhouse and gourmet restuarant, but we found we could make them for two nights in a row, so we didn't have to get up every day.
The Scuba Caribe snorkel trip was fun, bring some bread with, and dozens of fish will come eat out of your hand. Their fishing trip however, was a disappointment - they told us they catch 20 most days, but we only caught 4 smaller fish the day we were out - not worth the money.
Everyday it rained in the afternoon for an hour or two, but that was sort of nice, because it cooled down for the evenings.
The beach is kept very neat. There's a good mix of shade and sun, and there are always lounge chairs available. The water is a little cloudy, but they were always working on it.
Lots of Europeans, who often are topless on the beach, or in little Speedos.. so just a warning if you're not used to that.
Overall, really nice resort, helpful staff, good times.
Great Place, BUT........
The RIU was terrific, the management was appalling. If you have a late flight out of Jamaica, be prepared to be kicked out. Check out is not one minute past Noon, or $100US. Don't expect any sympathy from the front desk manager, Melcous.
Truly the resort and the staff were terrific. The food was amazing. The beach needs work, and they were working on it everyday. Don't expect to eat at one of the a la carte restaurants; you have to line up at 6:00am to get a reservation. The only shortcoming was the management's lack of accountability and direction. Enjoy this very under priced resort while it lasts.
Awesome Vacation!
Stayed the week of 5/21 - 5/28. This resort was awesome. The BEST all-inclusive we have ever stayed at. The food options with the buffet were so extensive (and delicious), we didn't even want to try either of the reservation restaurants. Rooms were nice with stocked beer, soft drinks, and mixers as well as 3-4 liquors for your enjoyment. Staff was extermely firendly and accomodating.
The resort had Red Stripe (and RS Lite), however the only complaint was when those ran out (due to a Jamaican holiday), Real Rock was the only beer available. That was not good stuff. Walked down the beach to the Riu Tropical Bay and was definitely glad that we made the decision to stay at this RIU.
Loved the Club
This is a new resort. We were there June 14-21, 2004. The decor was beautiful. The rooms were quite nicely appointed. Each room had a refrigerator with pop and beer and jugs of water. We were greeted in our room by a plate of fresh fruit and a bottle of rum. There was a patio with table and chairs and a pullout drying rack. The food is good. The A la Carte restaurants are good but Sir Andrews is the best, especially the fish dishes. You do have privileges at the sister resort-Tropical Bay-. Yes, the beach is good, but the water is murky at the new resort. They were working on it 24/7 while we were there. We walked down the beach to the sister resort and the beach and water is wonderful. So is the snorkeling. Mayfield Falls is a wonderful side trip. Grab a taxi for $20 for 2 and have 2 stops to go shopping. They will pick you up at the appointed time to take you to the next shopping center. The beds are comfortable and there are plenty of beach loungers. The pools are much larger than the sister resort , but as usual a fight for pool lounges. This is a great resort. Staff was very helpful and friendly. very Kid friendly!! They also do weddings. Saw 2 while we were there! They did a great job. Great resort.
I would go back over and over again!
My husband and I stayed at The Club Hotel Riu, Negril for our first wedding anniversary during the first week of June. Although we were visiting during the rainy season, our trip was fabulous! We ate dinner at the Restaurant Green Island every evening and had snacks during the day at Luigi's Pizzeria. Club Hotel Riu, Negril employs a phenomenal group of individuals and the hotel accomodations were impeccable. We can't wait to go back!

The city of Buffalo, NY, has recruited and developed some of the best talent in immunology in this country, and it would seem appropriate for them to combine their efforts to produce a textbook. Unfortunately, the Principles of Immunology does not do justice to their individual or combined knowledge of this subject. By their stated goal, the book is aimed at the beginning student and is composed in a graduated fashion to provide knowledge of basic science principles and clinical applications. As is so often true of multiauthored books, there is an unevenness between chapters that demands an extreme variance of prior knowledge for complete comprehension. Some chapters are sophomoric in content, yet others require considerable knowledge of physical sciences for understanding. There is a failure to define many terms that are commonly used by immunologists, but infrequently used by scientists of other disciplines. The method of approach continually changes
