Fire safety program donors sought
TORONTO The city fire department is seeking donations from local individuals and businesses to fund its annual child fire safety program at Karaffa Elementary School.
Frank McEwen, city fire chief, said donations are down from last year, and he is asking businesses and individuals to step up to help fund the program that teaches youngsters basic skills about coping with fires.
"These are the funds we raise annually for our Fire Prevention Program at Karaffa Elementary School for grades pre-kindergarten through fifth grade," said McEwen, adding the department began fundraising efforts in November. "We need to have all the funds raised by the end of February."
McEwen said all businesses in Toronto received letters from the National Fire Safety Council soliciting funds for the program.
"(The solicitation) is generally directed toward the businesses, and private individuals can make donations in any dollar amount they wish," he said.
"The letter spells out the dollar amounts for each pupil in the school system," continued the chief, adding funds donated go toward the purchase of fire prevention materials and a fire safety educator from the safety council.
"For the last three years we raised enough funds to bring in the NFSC's children's educator," said McEwen, adding the program enabled the department to hire Cowboy Bob, Kenny the Singing Cowboy and Kerry Kazam, the Fire Safety Man to help demonstrate what children should do in case of a house fire.
"It's a total home fire safety education program," said McEwen. "It basically teaches them 'learn not to burn.' We send two members of the department along with fire trucks. They assist in teaching the safety education."
Educational materials given to pupils include coloring books, stickers and how to design a home fire safety escape plan, said the chief.
"We also have our firefighters put on all their gear, airpacks and face masks to show children what they would look like if they enter (the scene of a fire)," McEwen added.
To make a donation, checks can be made out to the National Fire Safety Council and sent to the Toronto Fire Department, 602 S. Fourth St., Toronto, OH 43964.
For information, call (740) 537-1021.

Reviewers Wanted for European Union Grant Proposals
At the beginning of 2014, the European Union (EU) launched a new 7-year funding program, Horizon 2020 (see this Physics Today article). There is a continuous need for experts to review funding proposals, including astronomers and physicists. If you are interested, please register through the Experts area on the Horizon 2020 Participant Portal.
Reviewers receive a fee for days spent reviewing, both at home and at committee meetings in Brussels, and are reimbursed for travel costs. Being an expert evaluator also is a great way to find out what makes a successful proposal. Experts of any nationality and working anywhere in the world are welcome.
In addition, participation in EU-funded projects is open to researchers from all over the world, though participants from industrialized countries outside the EU are not automatically eligible to receive EU funding. For more information, see the Horizon 2020 page on international cooperation.

NEW YORK -- With a multitude of injuries befalling the Yankees' bullpen, Joe Girardi will have to take an uncertain approach through the weekend. Without Joba Chamberlain and David Robertson, the manager said he will "mix and match" in the upcoming days.
Chamberlain was placed on the disabled list with an oblique injury. Robertson will miss several days with a left knee issue. While the right hander is hopeful about returning as soon as he can, even calling today "possible," Girardi does not expect his return until next week in Colorado when the team travels to face the Rockies.
It leaves the Yankees trying to figure out who will pitch the seventh and eighth innings. The only thing Girardi seems assured of is that Mariano Rivera will not be used for more than three outs at a time.
"It's not what you want, Girardi said when asked if the current situation causes him discomfort.
"We'll figure it out."
Among the options Girardi will have to choose from are four relatively inexperienced relievers: Adam Warren, Shawn Kelly, Preston Claiborne, and Vidal Nuno. Claiborne was just called up today.
While Girardi would prefer to make his pitching decisions based on matchups, he admitted that those four have no or little precedent to base his decisions on.
Kelley is the most experienced of the four and is whom Girardi seems to be leaning towards using late in games.
"Shawn has more experience in that situation so he's a guy I could use back there," Girardi said.
Claiborne just arrived today, getting called up from Triple-A. He walked into his manager's office Thursday night and saw a hand extended towards him.
"Congrats, you're going to New York," he was told.
He was greeted by a welcome and a handshake from Girardi.
"I'm just happy they thought enough of me to call on me," Claiborne said.
The pitcher impressed Girardi in spring training. The manager cited his consistency, the way he attacked batters, a "swing and miss slider," and his changeup.
He will be one option in a patchwork bullpen.
Robertson, who has a 3.86 ERA in 11 2/3 innings this season, said he hurt his knee while breaking to first base on a ground ball. He called the injury "nothing serious."
He said that it has felt better with every day and will be evaluated daily.
"Nothing that's going to hold me back for more than a couple days," he said.
Robertson has also spoken with Chamberlain since he got hurt. They have both suffered oblique injuries -- Robertson's having bothered him longer than he assumed it would last year.
For now, that is all they can do and Girardi is left to make up for their loss.
"We'll just have to mix and match till we get (Robertson) back," he said.

Vegas' Industry WeekendReggie Carroll, Zexzoo® Ambassador extraordinaire
Industry Weekend in Vegas with Reggie, Zexzoo Ambassador
Local Nightlifers support is a necessity on The Strip, for any club during the week in Las Vegas. It becomes very apparent to any seasoned patron of our city going out during the week from out of town, when a venue lacks local support. This week was one of those weeks, but not for everybody, at least not this past Tuesday, at 1OAK. I was pleasantly surprised to pull into the busy and full valet of the Mirage, hearing the music blasting but not echoing from inside the club. I started off the night visiting with two of the coolest guys in town, who are intricate parts of the Spearmint Rhino Marketing Team, Zack Lord and Mark Alums. Their tables are never a let down, which were filled by about twenty Rhino Dancers, that were dancing to the sounds of the opening dj, Que.
It wasn't easy getting to the table with the room being so packed and full, but luckily everyone seem to have the common mindset to just have the common mindset to just have a good time. It was a very good showing of Industry support, including tables full of staffs from Surrender Nightclub, Marquee, Haze, Light Nightclub, Bank, and Alesso not entertaining but being entertained, having his own table behind the DJ Booth. The night got kicked up a notch once ATrak took over the controls, who was the headliner, along with Danny Brown. The real headliner should have been Brown's dj, DJ Skywalker, who absolutely hypnotized the room as soon as he started his set. He started off posing with his arms crossed, hoodie on, no mic, crowd watching, playing Waka Flocka acapella, " Go Hard in Mutha*#*!?!! Paint", dropped the beat, and started putting his hands up bouncing with the crowd simualtaneously! That is an Introduction! Danny Brown came on about thirty minutes later, performing a few of his songs, with ATrak coming back on after, to close out the night. I had planned on just popping in for about an hour but couldn't leave for a few hours. I made myself leave to run over to Hyde and checkout Hyde. DJ Five was doing his thing while Phil Ivey had a table on the dance floor popping bottles, where all the good looking women were hanging out, enjoying champagne. I came to late, just after 2am, when the crowd was starting to thin out and call it a night. I quickly ended my night too.Reggie Carroll and friends at Vegas Nightclub
I was content for the week after going to 1OAK on Tuesday, but had to make the rounds on Wednesday night, hitting Andreas, Surrender, and Light. Andreas is usually a pretty good call on Surrender Nightclub industry night, because they normally comp lots of girls dinner before partying it up, vertical integration at its best. Venturing off next door to Surrender Nightclub, was kind of disappointing, the main area was full, as well as the outside tented area, and a few outside cabanas sat, but no energy. I tried to holdout and wait for Porter Robinson to come on, giving up a little after 1am. I will say this, it was a lot of upscale and well dressed people in house, mostly guests of Encore and Wynn, but to many professionals, highly BED educated. Staying on track and keeping a sense of purpose of being out, had to go to Light.. I walked in already let down after not getting the same high from 1OAK, not expecting much, only to regain it instantly, and Alesso spinning.
I made one quick lap seeing that almost every table was still full, stopping at the table of Andrew Sasson (Founder of Light Group). It's always the best to be hangout with him when he is in a great mood and feeling festive, but dangerous when he has full bottles of Patron at hand. He was accompanied by his many hosts and management who were all forced to open their mouths and let the boss pour out shots! I also found out where all the hot women were, especially the many cocktail waitresses from around the strip that you always hope to see out on a good night. The club was full of industry support, Tao Group, Light Group, AMG, and good local bottle customers too. My night went longer than expected, which is the way every night out should be in Las Vegas.Reggie Carroll out and about Industry Weekend Vegas
After a full two nights out, I slowed myself down, just choosing to go to Haze for The Work Hard Play Awards, which were sponsored by Viva Vegas. I went partly out of obligation, being that I was an honoree, and that is also happens to be one of my favorite places to socialize amongst my peers. It was a huge industry party, but different, because it had a lot more focus on the ladies which normally is not the case. The ladies of Hyde were a rare sighting, who are some of the most beautiful women on the strip, who are rarely seen anywhere other than Hyde, were also being honored and had a great table that was noticed by everyone. JackColton's Team was in attendance and celebrating a birthday, as well as Surrender, Spearmint Rhino, Light, Body English, XS, CH3, and of course Vegas Dave too, plus many more.
The music was great, bottles were plentiful, and the Models of Viva Vegas were my personal highlight, all adorned in trucker hats, sponsored by Cadillac, wearing heels, sexy tanks, and little black shorts, at least twenty-five of them. Sancho Van Ryan and Michael Sartain put on a great event, and brought a lot of hot women of the city out of the wood works. Good time and a nice ending to the Nightlifers weekend! Now time to get ready for the real weekend, which is a Fight Weekend, and I am ready to rumble!

Hong Kong DebutThe Destiny of Planet Earth - The Myth of the Great Flood and of the Ark
30-31* March 2012 (Fri-Sat) 8pm1 April 2012 (Sun) 3pmAuditorium, Kwai Tsing Theatre$420, 360, 280, 180#
*With post-performance talk (Conducted in English)#The sightline of certain $180 seats may be restricted
Performed in English, Spanish, Italian, with infrequent French and DutchWith Chinese and English SurtitlesThe performance contains coarse language and nudity
"…A real triumph for everybody."
La Repubbblica, Italy
"…The show captures and convinces the audience, who gratify the show with finale applause."
Il Tempo, Italy
A multi-media performance about the coming flood.It is about the slow but rapidly accelerating destruction of our planet. Noah has built an ark and filled it with animals two by two according to the list given by God. Noah regards himself unclean and hides with the pigs, which are deemed by God as unclean animals and not allowed to board the boat. He hides to evade his wife, Joan, the major protagonist of this music-drama, who does not want to board. She refuses to give mankind another chance to destroy the planet and to repeat their mistakes. Joan's children beg her to join them on board. They convince her to trust them that they will do better in the future… God keeps watching like a silent angel – on one hand keeping the promise not to flood again while on the other hand witnessing how we cope with our own flood - and whispers a mantra "God Makes, Man Breaks!" Joan eventually boards the ark, as she has no choice. Her love for her children makes her believe that there must be hope, and the next generation can turn the tide.
Stunning Images x Thrilling Body Movement x Live MusicIt is a modern multimedia oratory, which blends the arts of the acting, singing and live music with modern technologies: high definition images which reproduce aspects of reality, illustrate the conversation between God and Noah and lead audience to a virtual world.As main characters, Noah's wife and her two sons appear alternatively in the performance, which offers a liberal and anachronistic recreation of the myth. The mix of languages – Castilian, English, French and Italian – meanwhile reminds the audience of ancient texts which suggest that Noah's sons are the progenitors of all peoples of our planet.The surprising artistic solutions of The Blue Planet go beyond the borders between cinema, theatre and new technologies of digital images. The programme was premiered in Spain in 2008 then toured in Italy.
Peter GreenawayBorn in Newport, Wales, in 1942. Peter Greenaway came to fame with his narrative feature film, The Draughtsman's Contract (1982), which established him on the international front as one of the most important and original filmmakers of our time. Greenaway's filmography includes some 12 feature films, and 50 short films and documentaries. He has been nominated and awarded at the Cannes, Venice and Berlin film festivals.In 1994, the world première of Rosa, A Horse Drama marked his foray into opera as a director and librettist. He is also active in curating exhibitions, producing multimedia and video installations, publishing books and writing opera librettos. The composers he has collaborated with include Michael Nyman, Glen Branca and Philip Glass. In 2006, he started a new project, Nine classical Paintings Revisited, which demonstrate the dialogues between cinema and painting. His first project was his vision of Rembrandt's Nightwatch, followed by a multimedia installation with exploration of Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper in 2008 and of Veronese's The Wedding at Cana at Cini's Foundation on San Giorgio Island, Venice, in 2009. The multimedia installation, Italy of the Cities in the Italian Pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo 2010, was another of his brainchild.Saskia BoddekeDutch opera-and-theatre director Saskia Boddeke graduated from the Academy for Social Studies and the School for Performing Arts in Amsterdam. She joined De Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam in 1986 and founded her own theatre company Theatregroep vals Akkoord three years later. Since then, she has been creating, writing and producing projects which are characterized by a mixture of symbolism, film-imagery and movement language, often accompanied by modern music. Her collaboration with Peter Greenaway began in 1994 when she was co-director of Rosa, A Horse Drama, and later as director for his opera and theatre productions. Her directorial credits also include the prop-opera, 100 Objects to Represent the World (music by Jean-Baptiste Barrière and libretto by Peter Greenaway) at the Zeitfluss Salzburg Festival, and the opera Writing to Vermeer (music by Louis Andriessen and libretto by Peter Greenaway) etc. She was also the director of the play, The Children of Uranium (text by Peter Greenaway) in Genoa (2005) and Naples (2006). She won critical acclaim with her directing of Schoenberg's A Survivor from Warsaw (with Zubin Mehta conducting) at the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Opera Festival in Florence.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Jessica Tallini of Pleasant Plains, a physical therapy student at Quinnipiac University, Hamden, Conn., was a contestant on yesterday's episode of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" the WABC-TV show hosted by the Emmy Award-winning Meredith Vieira.
Jessica's parents, Marilyn and John Tallini, came to Manhattan with her and sat in the "Millionaire" audience as her on-air companions for the show. Jessica is an alumna of St. Joseph by-the-Sea High School and is a grad student at Quinnipiac.
Word is, several years back she tore a ligament in her knee and the mishap actually turned out to be a life-changing moment. When Jessica underwent physical therapy and was in treatment, she discovered a love for the field and decided she wanted to help others with their recoveries. In fact, she said that if she won big on "Millionaire," she would open her own physical therapy clinic.
Jessica made it up to her seventh question, but decided to not answer the question and walk away with half of her accumulated "Millionaire" bank, which had risen to $26,500. Jessica was able to take home $13,250 in winnings. Had she guessed incorrectly on the seventh question, she would have fallen back to $1,000 in winnings.
"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" with Ms. Vieira is currently in its 10th season; it airs at 12:30 p.m.
When Barbara Vele was a sales associate at Valentina's Intimate Apparel, back in August of last year, she so enjoyed working for Carmela Vasaturo, owner of the Dongan Hills shop, as well as working in retail and interacting with locals, that she decided to take the relationship to another level.
Says Barbara, "We have such a great working relationship and all the people I have met through Carmela are friendly and wonderful, professional women, I truly feel at home here."
So when the opportunity presented itself to open up a little business of her own, she couldn't pass it up, though she admits to being just a little bit nervous. But between the unwavering support she received from her husband, Louis, and the positive feedback from family members and friends, she was soon on her way.
Barbara is now the proud owner of "Ivy & Lace," a consignment boutique for women and children located in the lower level of Valentina's Intimate Apparel. The shop allows Barbara the opportunity to meet and greet Staten Islanders on a daily basis and assist them in their search for one-of-a-kind items. In fact, clients often bring Barbara their own little treasures to sell as well.
To introduce Barbara's lastest venture, on Saturday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m., she'll play host to a Grand Opening/Open House. where she'll even raffle a gift basket to benefit the American Cancer Society — with all proceeds benefiting the Staten Island Chapter.
Interested? Telephone 347-855-2805 for further information.
The Tom Butts Quartet, with Butts on tenor sax, Pete Viani on piano, Steve LaSpina on bass and Frank Ferreri on drums, will appear at the Alor Cafe, Grant City, tomorrow at 8 and 10 p.m.
FYI: Pete and Tom recently accompanied vocalist/actor Gianni Russo at Lorenzo's Cabaret in the Hilton Garden Inn, Bloomfield. Pete, a former Staten Islander was Frank Sinatra Jr.'s piano player and musical director for 12 years.
Laspina is a professor of music who has recorded with jazz greats such as Benny Carter, Stan Getz and Joe Williams.
Butts has been linked to musical legends like the late, legendary Glenn Miller, Rosemary Clooney and Mel Torme, to mention only a few. He can also be heard on recordings with Chuck Wayne and Don Friedman.
In 1987, Ferreri became a permanent member of Chuck Wayne's legendary quartet, performing and touring with jazz artists Al Haig, Jamaile Nasser, Don Friedman, Lyn Christi, Gary Mazzaroppi, Butts and Harvey S., among others.
The cafe and restaurant is located at 2110 Richmond Rd. For further information or reservations, telephone 718-351-1101.

Despite notching a much-needed win and keeping pace with the AFC-North-leading Baltimore Ravens, the Pittsburgh Steelers underwhelmed in this week's Monday Night Football tilt with the Kansas City Chiefs.
Every team has an off night, but the Steelers' subpar performance at home reflected deeper issues that have plagued the team throughout the season.
Here's what we learned from the game and what it means for the Black and Gold going forward.

[Hook: Sample]
Jealous (8X)!
[Woman's voice: (Talking over the singing)]
Jealous?! What he mean "jealous"?
Know what I'm sayin'? He just mad 'cause he all with them ugly hoes, know what I'm sayin'?
Girls don't buy him no clothes
He bought that ho some clothes!
He don't buy me no clothes
That nigga ain't got no money, no vibe, no dick
I mean, what do I got to be jealous fo'?
He ain't gonna make it nowhere
He ain't got no type of time, he has no career move, I mean...
Em's take on jealously between partners.
Samples LL Cool J's "Jealous"
Is there a "Jealousy Woes I"?
Well, the track heavily samples LL Cool J's "Jealous" beat. This is possibly why it's called part II. LL also may not have liked him calling it "Jealous II", explaining the title "Jealousy Woes".
On the album Infinite this track is preceded by "Backstabber", which samples a quote ("stay away from him, he ain't no good") from that same "Jealous" track from LL. This could explain the part II too.
Or maybe there is a part one but it was never released.

FRANKLIN TWP. — Molly pills, a pound of weed and a battery-operated set of brass knuckles whose electric shock packs its own punch.
They were just three of the items police said they found in Shane Wittland's car on Wednesday.
The 21-year-old from Newfield had been pulled over for, of all things, not wearing a seat belt, police said.
Officers searched the 2001 Lincoln LS and reported finding the Molly pills — generally purified Ecstasy — along with more than a pound of marijuana.
They also allegedly found drug packaging material, digital scales and about $1,100 in cash, along with the fearsome brass knuckles.
Wittland was charged with one count each of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute, possession of Ecstasy with intent to distribute, possession of more than 50 grams of marijuana, possession of Ecstasy, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of an illegal weapon, along with two counts of drug possession with intent to distribute within 500 feet of a public building (the Franklin Township Community Center near Delsea Drive and Coles Mill Road).
He was also charged with several driving violations. Wittland was committed to the Salem County Correctional Facility in lieu of $75,000 bail, with a 10 percent option.
Township Police Sgt. Matthew DeCesari made the arrest with help from Officer Clifford Trovillo and his K-9 partner, Ceno.

SuporteAbout phishing
Phishing is a method through which criminals try to steal personal and financial information from Internet users. The most common method used by Internet fraudsters is using email lures to "fish" for sensitive information, such as passwords and financial data.
This section contains a set of rules and examples that will help you steer clear of this problem.
Never give confidential information in an email message, instant message, or pop-up window if you cannot verify that the one you are talking to is a legitimate person.
Banks, auction sites like eBay, online stores such as Amazon or online payment solutions like PayPal won't ask you by email to provide your account information or any other financial information.
Phishing emails and websites often have misspellings and bad grammar. Others may load pictures from the original sites and include links that target legitimate websites, making it harder for you to determine whether that email is a scam or not.
When you receive an email from a company or business, examine it carefully first:
Why was it sent?
Is the name of the organization misspelled?
Have you recently made any transactions with that company?
Why was it sent?
Is the name of the organization misspelled?
Have you recently made any transactions with that company?
If an email appears to be fraudulent or suspicious, please contact the company which the email supposedly came from or forward it to the legal authorities.
Remember! Do NOT take immediate action as requested in the email.
Not sure whether the email is a fake one or not, ask for help! Our Support Team can be contacted 24/7.
You can also forward phishing emails to this dedicated email address: firstname.lastname@example.com. Your feedback will be used to protect other Internet users from being scammed.
Apart from the above, the risk of phishing can be lowered by basic security measures:
Always keep your software updated: from your operating system to security software such as your antivirus or firewall.
Filter your emails: use a spamfilter or create email rules within your email client. Ask your network administrators to set additional server filters.
Browse safely: check for data encryption. Verify if the key or padlock sign is present in the lower right corner of your browser window and double click on it to verify the security certificate. The certificate should be valid and match the webaddress you accessed.
Test your vigilance by taking the online phishing quiz offered by SonicWALL and look at the examples of phishing scams presented within the next pages.
Note: All of the examples used within this guide were taken from fraudulent emails and websites discovered by or forwarded to BullGuard Ltd.

The Eyelet setter is just what I needed to make my Scrap Pages sing!
if you are looking for something inexpensive buy this, but if you are willing to pay a little more buy another tool that makes it easier
As I am new to the hobby of scrap booking, I like to learn new techniques as often as possible. I recently decided that i wanted to learn to use eyelets in my work. Not wanting to spend a lot of money on a fancy tool until i decided if I liked the technique I explored alternatives. I ordered this eyelet setter and was shocked at how easy it was to use. You can use it anywhere on any page or card with no problems. I just love this little tool and don't plan on buying one of the fancy versions anytime soon. This one is so easy to pack and carry when I travel with my scrapping stuff. I would recommend this tool to anyone who wants to set eyelets.
I bought this setter when I first started scrapping, and it was lifesaver. When you don't know too many embellishing techniques, this one is easy to learn, inexpensive, and can be used on any page. The greatest benefit is the interchangeable heads that allows you to set different sizes of eyelets. The only drawback, and it's not much of one, was that you do need a couple of things to get started....a hammer, (you could buy one, or use one laying around the house), and a self healing mat (which isn't too bad either, because the mats are used frequently also.) All in all, highly recommended to any scrapper.

A rising senior at Gulf Shores High School, Alexander was one of 20 students who took part in a new initiative to empower youth by Philippe Cousteau's EarthEcho International and Mobile Baykeeper.
"We are launching a national program to help young people understand the power they have to tell a story and change the world," said Cousteau, who was in Gulf Shores for the event.
The day started at 8 a.m. with a workshop introducing students to journalism concepts. Then the teens had lunch before heading to the beach.
"We were taught interview skills," Alexander said. "They taught us how to speak to people. They gave us information on how to have clean energy. At this age, there's not a lot we can do to help out."
Armed with handheld video recorders, students tromped through the sand at Gulf Shores' public beach to conduct interviews.
"We asked about opinions about offshore drilling," Alexander said. "We talked to some locals and some visitors and people who were contracted under BP."
Other participants interviewed shop owners, law enforcement officials and volunteers monitoring turtle nests, Cousteau said.
Students are expected to take part in producing articles for online publication, Cousteau said, including on EarthEcho International's website.
Casi Callaway, executive director of environmental group Mobile Baykeeper, said one goal for the day was to help students find a way to help in the aftermath of the worst oil spill in U.S. history.
"We wanted to give them a place to channel their enthusiasm and need to work on the oil disaster," Callaway said.
Cousteau, whose nonprofit agency is based in Washington, D.C., has traveled to the Gulf Coast several times since the April 20 Deepwater Horizon rig explosion that claimed 11 lives.
In June, Cousteau was one of several featured speakers at a $500 a plate dinner in Mobile that helped raise about $50,000 for Mobile Baykeeper.
"Coming down here to Gulf Shores," Cousteau said, "there's a lot of frustration and anger over this oil spill."
By the end of the day, Cousteau said, he heard students say they wanted to become journalists. "They are so interested, so enthusiastic. It was amazing empowering people to be part of the solution."

6 injuries reported in Nantou accident at amusement park
The China Post news staff
February 11, 2014, 12:10 am TWN
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- The Formosan Aboriginal Culture Village (FACV, 九族文化村), a famous amusement park in Nantou County (南投縣), allegedly experienced a gas explosion yesterday, causing six injuries suffered by two employees and four tourists. The FACV denied the incident was the result of a gas leak.
The six injured victims were sent to the Puli Christian Hospital (埔里基督教醫院) for treatment, the FACV said, noting that the two female employees suffered from second-degree burns and have been transferred to the Taichung Veterans General Hospital. The four tourists only experienced minor injuries and have been discharged from the hospital, the amusement park said.
FACV marketing department manager Huang Jui-chi (黃瑞奇) explained the incident, saying that a female employee accidentally knocked over a boiling pot at a stall in the food court yesterday afternoon.
Noting that the two female employees were injured by the hot soup, Huang said the four tourists accidentally hit other objects when trying to avoid the pot, which resulted in minor lacerations on their heads and bodies.
The amusement park said it will cooperate with any investigation of the case and handle any compensation, stressing that at the same time it will enhance safety measures in the park to avoid any similar incidents in the future.
The Central News Agency (CNA) quoted a tourist who witnessed the incident saying that there was a strong smell of gas before the incident, and several people told employees of the food stall but were ignored. The tourist said everyone heard a "bang" when the incident happened.
The Nantou County Fire Department's Second District Chief Wu Chia-hung (吳嘉宏) said that based on initial findings, there was no sign of a gas explosion, noting that the cause of the incident is possibly a cooking accident, but the case requires further investigation.

The crucial issue under investigation is whether we observe with current high-resolution instrumentation (<1", such as with TRACE) monolithic structures in the corona, i.e., elementary loops or loop threads that are homogeneous in temperature and density in any given cross-section. The search and identification of monolithic structures has fundamental consequences in theory (hydrodynamic modeling, coronal heating function, cross-field diffusion processes) and for the planning and design of future high-resolution EUV and soft X-ray telescopes. The identification of monolithic structures is a necessary prerequisite to apply hydrodynamic models, to determine the time-dependent heating function and cooling processes, and to measure the iron abundance and first-ionization potential (FIP) effect. We analyze a number of loop structures from TRACE triple-filter data (171, 195, 284 A) and present quantitative results about the temperature width of the differential emission measure distribution of the finest resolved coronal loops in the temperature range of T=0.7-2.5 MK. We measure the width range of monolithic loop structures, for which we find upper limits in the range of ~1"-2". A consequence is that loop structures observed with instruments of lower resolution (e.g., with Yohkoh, EIT, CDS) represent composite temperature structures and have to be modeled as such. -We acknowledge support from NASA for TRACE, LWS, and SEC projects.

Name-calling is usually a sign that the person uttering the attack may be utterly without ideas.
That seems to be the case with state Sen. Michael Doherty (R-Warren). He had a chance to offer a thoughtful explanation for his opposition to restoring $7.5 million to family planning clinics. Instead, he slimed Planned Parenthood at a rally on the Statehouse steps, right before the Senate voted on Monday to restore the funds to the state budget.
"Nobody has any problem trying to have no affiliation with nefarious organizations such as the Nazis or apartheid regimes," Doherty said. "But somehow, we're asked to use our tax dollars to support these type of organizations."
Awkward syntax, awful content.
Anyone with a sense of history, perspective and proportion should be appalled. Invoking two of the vilest regimes to attack Planned Parenthood reveals nothing about that organization. It does say plenty about Doherty's willingness to twist history and stir fear for his own political ends. The next time anyone bemoans the lack of civil discourse, Doherty's astounding statement should be Exhibit A.
He owes apologies to the women who rely on Planned Parenthood for primary and gynecological care, pre-natal care, cancer screenings and birth control counseling. And he owes apologies to the survivors of Nazi Germany and those forced to live under apartheid in South Africa. Doherty's comparison cheapened two of the great tragedies of world history.
The senator served neither his constituents nor his cause with his remarks.

It just took a while for George Orwell's eerie predictions about the future to play out in his city. Check Larry Auster's description of how the English media airbrushed out key facts concerning those recent riots in North London:
The Daily Mail has full coverage, including astounding photos of the street scene and of a block-sized building being destroyed by fire. Of course the Mail doesn't say it was a black riot. The only way you can know for sure that the riot had anything to do with race is from the photo of a man named Mark Duggan, whose death at the hands of police set off the riot. It's the usual script that we know so well in this country. Police are dealing with some violent Negro criminal, and are forced to kill him, and the black community rises up in violence.
But wait. I saw the photo of Duggan in the article last night. The article was updated early this morning U.S. time, and it no longer has that photo.

Life is change. Growth is optional. Choose wisely.
I also heard that the pinkie ring obsures your third fingers ability to press the valve down not that it is hard it just makes it harder.
Now, as for the right thumb. I just couldn't figure out exactly where to put it and what part of it should touch the horn. Can someone pretty please post a pic of an optimial position?
Also does it matter that I have small girl-hands?

If you look on the first page of the three there's a picture of Claude Gordon's holding/playing position. He's got the left hand as you initially described except his pinky is below the third valve slide instead of up next to his ring finger. I suppose (for him) putting the pinky above tended to pull the bell down so he put it where it felt best for him. As for having the palm of the hand up against the casings; you must have very small hands. For me, if I put my left hand fingers where I want to, my palm curves and no contact can be made with the valve casings. That said, one of the posters mentioned that the specific instrument can also dictate how it is held. I have a Buffet Crampon American that is so cramped and the third slide trigger is placed so oddly that I have to use an entirely different approach. You have to do what you have to do with the instrument and hands you are working with - think about "cradling" the instrument instead of "grasping" at it.
Pinky ring? I was taught to put the pinky on top of the ring. Yeah, right. Just focus on comfortable use of the three fingers you use on the valves. Do curve the palm of your hand (and the fingers will naturally do likewise) so you're well above the valve driving the pistons straight down. If you don't think too much about it your right hand pinky and thumb will automatically go to the position they are most comfortable with (and I think you'll find that to be pretty close to what Pocius describes).

Just for the record. I don't take myself seriously.
I don't think I mentioned anything about how the horn has to be held.
I use two up, two down and the octave key ring above the staff.
This conversation of holding the horn comes up regularly.

Please don't let this thread dissolve into a pissing match. There is good info here, lets not screw it up.
Yes I do have small hands. I'm female and I'm only 4'11". However, I am able to get a good amount of space between my left palm and the valve casing and I like it better this way, after a couple of practice sessions. Before, I would wrap my fingers around the casing completely, and use a 3-up, 1-down finger configuration (yes, I can fit 3 fingers above the third valve slide pretty easily). I like it better the "new" way though.
Thanks for the feedback about the right hand. I'll have to experiment some more with that thumb position. I'm seeing almost universal agreement here about the optimal use of the pinky ring (not much) so I'm going to try to change my ways, and see what happens.

Sandy Pond. — Telegram file photo
Sandy Pond Alliance lawyer Owen Myers offered some final arguments this morning in court in St. John's.
Justice Elizabeth Heneghan has taken all of the filings and arguments and will begin work on her decision.
In his final arguments, Myers raised the issue of compensation for lakes and ponds lost to mining activities.
"Our issue with it, our difficulty with (it), is it's a quantitative rather than a qualitative situation," Myers said.
The compensation required is "just so basically sketched out," he said.
The core argument in the case is about the foundation for the current regulations allowing for the creation of tailings ponds using freshwater bodies.
That said, according to alliance members, the compensation idea is an important consideration.
(Earlier story)
There is no saving Sandy Pond. The Sandy Pond Alliance formed in 2009, objecting to plans to use the pond as a container for waste from Vale's hydromet processing facility at Long Harbour.
Since 2010, the group has pressed a Federal Court case, arguing the government should not have been able to OK the use of the pond, or any other natural water body in Canada, as an impoundment for such effluent — at least not under the current regulations.
All the while, work on altering Sandy Pond for its new purpose has progressed. Fish have been relocated. Vale's processing plant has been built.
Final hearings on the legal case began at Supreme Court in
St. John's Wednesday morning.
In the cold outside — with signs reading "Clean Water for our Grandchildren" and other messages — 15 to 20 people gathered before the start of the session, in support of the alliance action. They had differing views of what exactly the legal challenge might do, other than it could protect other ponds and lakes from the same fate as Sandy Pond.
"This is an example of many, many lakes across the country," said supporter Maude Barlow of the Council of Canadians. "If we lose ... the argument around Sandy Pond, does that mean we don't have an argument for the other lakes?"
In session, alliance lawyer Owen Myers argued changes to the federal Fisheries Act in 2002 — specifically the addition of Metal Mining Effluent Regulations allowing the designation of a pond or lake as a tailings impoundment — are not in line with existing statutes and purpose of the Fisheries Act. "This just bypasses the whole act," he told the court, arguing the power to list any body of freshwater as a waste area was "sort of out there by itself."
The other lawyers in the room — four in total — argued he and the Sandy Pond Alliance members incorrectly believe environmental protection, habitat protection, is the overarching purpose of the Fisheries Act.
"It has to be looked at from a broader perspective," argued government lawyer Lori Rasmussen, suggesting the act has always been about balancing different interests in fish-bearing waters. She said ponds and lakes were being used as tailings dumps before the federal mining effluent regulations were brought in. Before the 2002 regulations, she argued, there was a standing requirement for a ministerial authorization for any tailings pond. In addition, there was a standing "no net loss" policy for fish habitat.
Under the current system, she said, that policy of "no net loss" has become a stricter, legislated requirement — the result of a change to the regulations in 2006. And a ministerial OK is no longer enough to create a tailings pond. A regulatory amendment is now needed to make it happen.
Adding to the argument, Vale lawyers said any proposal for a tailings pond comes only after a mining project is reviewed and approved under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act. Under this act, alternatives for waste storage must be considered.
Myers argued economics versus environment, saying companies are simply using the current regulations to avoid paying to build waste containers, saying "just put a pipe in that lake."
Vale's two lawyers said the reality is not so simple and there are environmental consequences no matter what option is selected for waste storage. For example, they argued, alternatives at Long Harbour would potentially cover 70-100 hectares of terrestrial habitat.
Ultimately, Myers insisted cabinet did not have the power to add the effluent regulations and the ability to OK the use of freshwater ponds for effluent storage.
The others argued those powers are spelled out both in the act and through findings in past legal cases. The government lawyer has requested the application be dismissed.
The alliance's lawyer will have an opportunity this morning to respond to all statements, before a decision.

New Google Play Design Begins Rolling Out To Devices, Offers Up New Content Discovery And Simplified Purchasing
Google is beginning to roll out its new, cleaner, Google Play store. The new Play Store 4.0 focuses on larger images and consistent color usage based on topic. It is now easier to quickly identify the content you are looking for and explore the options within that category. The purchase process has also been streamlined, providing you a quicker way to start using the content purchased. All in all, it's a much better looking Play Store that drops the "dark" look of the former Play Store and breathes new life into the Play Store with a card-based look.
The new design focuses on bigger images that jump off the page. Similarly themed content is grouped together so you can hone in on a magazine to read or an app to try. As you move down the page, new recommendations continue to appear so there is always more to see and explore. We've also simplified purchasing so you can breeze through checkout and get to enjoying your movie rental or other content.
This new and improved Google Play store begins rolling out to Android 2.2 smartphones and tablets today, with worldwide availability coming over the next few weeks. What do you guys think, is this a better, faster, sexier Google Play?

Are you tired of waking up to an outdated bathroom every morning, but can't afford to renovate it? Good news: You can change the entire look of your bathroom with just a few modifications and very little money.
Here are five renovation projects that will give your bathroom a whole new look - without emptying your wallet.
#1 - Bathtub Refacing
Refinishing an old bathtub can completely transform the look and impact of the room, says Rob Williams, a renovation expert and co-founder of DC Home Buzz, a real estate brokerage firm.
"Old, chipped, dingy tubs can be transformed into something that's appealing and fresh without a large investment," Williams says.
What makes bathtub refacing such a great project? Williams says the only other alternative to help change the look of your tub is to replace it. But that requires demolishing the old tub and tile, paying to have it hauled away and dumped, and then paying again for the new tub, tile materials, and installation. That could easily set you back over $1,000, according to Williams.
On the other hand, refinishing a tub could be just a few hundred dollars, depending on whether or not you want to do-it-yourself or hire a professional, according to Williams.
You could refinish a tub for less than $150 if you decide to do it yourself, but you might end up with an uneven job or hours spent trying to figure out the steps, Williams says. If you hire a professional, you'll spend between $300 to $400 on the project, but the job should be superior and finished at a faster pace, explains Williams.

#2 - Flooring Replacement
As the base of the bathroom, a floor replacement can make a huge impact to your bathroom, while making a low-impact dent to your wallet.
In fact, porcelain and travertine tiles can run as cheap as $1.83 per square foot at your local home improvement store, says Christopher Lowell, an Emmy award winning home design expert. To make these cheap tiles appear high-end, Lowell recommends staying away from high-gloss finishes that can look cheap.
"A good, even, matte finish that looks natural is always the best," Lowell explains.
And if you're thinking about installing the tiles yourself in order to save a few bucks, you may want to reconsider. According to Lowell, bathrooms are notorious for requiring a lot of cutting around fixtures and base cabinets - things that are best left to a floor expert, says Lowell. For a ballpark figure on how much professional help will cost, Lowell says he often doubles the price of the tile square footage.
As far as design is concerned, Lowell suggests avoiding strong colors, unusual textures, or anything that calls too much attention. Instead, he recommends going with something simple that fits every decor. That way, if you decide to remodel again or repaint later on, the floor will still match and you won't have to spend money on replacing it again, he says.

#3 - Updating Light Fixtures
Replacing bathroom light fixtures can help transform any bathroom space, according to eco-shui designer and creator of DesignLEAN, DeAnna Radaj.
"Lighting fixtures are part of the 'bling' of the room and can really help uplift or detract from your design scheme," says Radaj.
If that's not enough reason to replace them, Radaj says newer, shinier fixtures also improve lighting and safety (after all, you'd like to see what you're doing when applying make-up or shaving, right?). Plus, Radaj says updating lighting is a perfect DIY project, as long as you have the proper tools for the job.
And this small renovation project isn't too pricey either.
"New fixtures can be found for under $50, making it one of the ultimate inexpensive upgrades," says Radaj. She does add, however, that prices do vary depending on materials and the scope of your renovation.

#4 - Repainting of Refacing Bathroom Cabinets
If your bathroom cabinets are a standard size and the cabinets themselves are in good shape, you may want to consider refacing them as it's a much cheaper option than buying a completely new set of cabinets, Williams explains.
In fact, "Refacing is about 50 percent less expensive than replacing your cabinets and takes about half the time," according to Mike Goubran, owner of Carolina Custom Homes and Renovations in Rock Hill, South Carolina.
In addition to being a budget-conscious renovation, Goubran adds that refacing, or replacing cabinet doors, is also a high-value remodel as it allows you to change the entire look of the room.
For an even cheaper option, Goubran says you can easily repaint your bathroom cabinets for $20 or less. But for the best results, it's important that the cabinets are in good shape, with no cracks or splits.
[Do you want to reface your bathroom cabinets? Click to find a contractor in your area now.]
#5 - Updating Bath Fixtures
If your bathroom fixtures are more than a decade old, chances are they're dated, according to Lowell.
When it comes to shopping for fixtures, Lowell says you should think about it as shopping for jewelry.
"You can spend a ton on designer brands in upscale bath boutiques or you can replicate the perception of them at your local building supply store," Lowell says. What's important is that you choose fixtures that have an upscale spa look and feel like they actually belong in the room you're upgrading, he adds.
So what works for that upscale look on a budget?
Brushed nickel, antique bronze, pewter finished, or very good quality brushed chrome are better choices than inexpensive brass or porcelain that have the appearance of 'stamped out' decals on them, Lowell says.
"If it says more motel than hotel/spa, you're going in the wrong direction," Lowell adds.
When it comes to prices, Lowell says you can get a smart looking bathroom sink set for about $200.00 to $275.00 in good building stores with well merchandized bath departments.

Stimson Lumber Company, the privately held timber firm based in Portland, is continuing to contribute heavily to Republican Chris Dudley's campaign for Oregon governor.
The firm last week gave another $100,000 to Dudley, pushing his total contributions from the firm to $385,000. That's more than any other donor to his campaign outside of the Republican Governors Association, which has given some $2.25 million.
I recently talked with the firm's president, Andrew Miller, who said he thought Oregon was suffering from a poor business environment. That, of course, has been one of Dudley's major themes.
The Dudley campaign clearly has been able to persuade Stimson and other last-minute donors that he has a real chance of winning if they can keep the flow of money going toward their campaign (and a new poll conducted for The Oregonian certainly confirms that).
In addition to Stimson, Dudley has also recently received another $25,000 from Freres Lumber Company, which has now given a total of $50,000. The American Beverage Association, Walmart, Flir Systems and Pat Kilkenny, the former University of Oregon athletic director, have each recently given $10,000 to the Dudley campaign.
The Kitzhaber campaign hasn't yet reported what kind of haul it received from the $10,000-a-head fundraiser held during President Obama's trip to Portland on Wednesday evening.
