Sporting Events Rally Behind the Climate Neutral Call
It used to be "Swifter, Higher, Stronger" but in the future the Olympic motto may well include "lower" at least as it relates to carbon and curbing climate change.
From the 2014 Sochi Olympics to the 2010 FIFA World Cup to be hosted by South Africa to Norway's premier car race starting tomorrow - major sporting events around the globe are increasingly looking at neutralizing their carbon footprint as part of overall "greening" strategies.
These tournaments are the latest participants to join the Climate Neutral Network (CN Net), an initiative led by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to promote global action and involvement towards low-carbon economies and societies.

No legislative activities on smart grid have been identified for Oklahoma.
By 2009 the Oklahoma Corporation Commission approved distributed generation, including net metering. It had established load and demand side management programs and variable pricing strategies including Real Time pricing for business customers and Time-of-Use pricing for residential and business consumers. [2, 3]
"In October 2007, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend its current rules for electric utilities as set forth in Oklahoma Administrative Code. The Commission is proposing to add a subchapter to the Administrative Code entitled "Demand Programs," which would establish demand response and other DSM requirements for utilities. In January 2008 and then again in February 2008 the Commission issued further iterations of the propose rules… In September 2008, the Commission issued a revised set of proposed rules in response to stakeholder input about them." [1]
Like many other states implementing smart grid, in 2010 a cost recovery rider went into effect for the deployment of smart grid projects in Oklahoma. Projects that a cost recovery rider may apply to can be located through the SGIC Smart Grid Projects Page.
Distributed generators include qualifying cogeneration, small power production facilities, and net metering installations. Pricing is based on the applicable Time-of-Day rate schedule price.
Load/demand side management includes interruptible and load curtailment service and load reduction rates. Interruptible and load curtailment service charge a reduced amount to allow for a contract portion of the customer's load to be curtailed at the company's request. Load reduction rates provide a credit for a contracted portion of the customers load being able to be curtailed at the direction of the company.
Time-of-Use pricing includes variable and critical peak pricing as well as Day-Ahead sometimes called Real Time rate pricing. Time-of-Use breaks the cost for electricity seasonally into periods with energy priced on-peak or off-peak. Variable peak pricing breaks the cost seasonally into periods with energy priced seasonal off-peak and on-peak price that varies by hour and day. Critical peak pricing breaks the cost seasonally into periods with energy priced on-peak, off-peak, and company designated critical peaks. Day-Ahead sometimes called Real Time pricing depending on the utility, provides hourly prices available eight to ten hours before the power day begins.

Advanced Micro Devices may develop special multi-core central processing units (CPUs) based on Bobcat micro-architecture aimed specifically at cloud datacenters. At present the company is only considering development of Opteron chips powered by Bobcat and such chips are unlikely to emerge in the next couple of years, but a multi-small-core design may make sense.
At present AMD has two accelerated processing units (APUs) with two x86 cores low-end graphics engine with 9W thermal design power and 1.0GHz clock-speed as well as 18W TDP with 1.60GHz frequency, which results in less than 4.5W per 1GHz core or less than 9W per 1.6GHz core. The chip designer also offers six-core Opteron 4164 EE microprocessors (1.8GHz) with 35W TDP, or 5.83W per core, as well as twelve-core Opteron 6164 HE chips (1.7GHz) with per-core power consumption of roughly 7.1W power consumption per core.
The Bobcat cores are meant to be very efficient in terms of power consumption and although it lacks support for ECC memory, large cache, support for server operating systems and other necessary features to run servers, its power consumption is not much lower compared to specially selected modern-generation Opteron silicon. Moreover, Bobcat offers lower performance compared to current K10.5 cores. But while Bobcat does not have visible advantages compared to already available Opteron CPUs, AMD will continue to evaluate the micro architecture as potential solution for cloud data centers that demand maximum number of cores.
"We will continue to evaluate and define our product roadmap to ensure we have the right products for the future. We are analyzing both "Bulldozer" and "Bobcat" core design points for future SoC's (system-on-chip) targeting the cloud server space. There is not 100% clarity at this time about the needs of the cloud market because so much of it is evolving today, but we are serious about ensuring we have the right solution going into the future. That means any products we develop in the future for cloud servers would have "server class" features (ECC, appropriate cache sizes and memory support etc.)," said John Fruehe, the drector of product marketing for server, embedded and FireStream products at AMD.
It is clear that Bobcat processors will provide lower idle power compared to AMD Opteron chips based on K10.5 or Bulldozer micro-architectures. But the big question is whether Bobcat chips will actually be able to work fast enough to provide decent performance. If those chips do not provide enough speed, then AMD's clients will have to install more of them, which will mean that any 2W-3W per core savings may never be evident due to high number of chips.
"While Bobcat might not be the right product today, we'll continue to keep our eye on it. Should things evolve in that space, we'll be ready," said Mr. Fruehe.

The latest and greatest news, events and offers direct from Nevada's Best Bet, Club Cal Neva.
My apologies to the Geico Camel for that blatant rip-off of a headline. But that's just kind of how I'm feeling today. If this were a Facebook post, my status would be "excited." Excited because there is a TON of good stuff going on at the Club Cal Neva this weekend.

It was an exhausting weekend at the Neva. But it was a great time. Another successful National Championship Air Races came and went, Saturday gave us another slate of exciting college football including near upsets in Michigan and South Carolina and a barn burner in Texas when Johnny Football and the 12th Man almost mounted a comeback against the Crimson Tide.

By Mayor Michael A. Nutter
October 12, 2009
Regardless of where the debate on national health reform winds up, cities across the nation will need to continue their efforts to be healthy, vibrant places for people to live learn, work, and play. In Philadelphia, we've recognized for quite a while that health is not the same as health care.
It's great to have good doctors and hospitals available to you. But if your neighborhood is crime-ridden and polluted, your streets are filled with fast-food joints but lacking in fresh-food markets, and your home is infested with pests, you're not living in a healthy community. And odds are you're not going to be very healthy, either.
I've always been a big believer in the importance of health to communities. But about a year ago, research by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Commission to Build a Healthier America drove that point home to me even more forcefully.
Our city had the pleasure of hosting the Commission at the second of their three field hearings across the country. At the hearing, researchers mapped out the disparities in average life expectancy that exist along the Philadelphia mass transit line. In Central Philadelphia, the average life expectancy is 72.3 years. But people living a short rail ride away can expect to lead longer lives. Traveling from the 30th Street Station for seven stops, a mere five-mile ride to Camden City Station (NJ), increases life expectancy by 3.5 years. When you travel from the 30th Street Station to the Bryn Mawr Station in Montgomery County, an 8.4 mile ride, it turns out that residents can expect lives 6.5 years longer than residents of Central Philadelphia.
Those numbers told me that where we live dramatically affects our health – for better or worse. That information reinforced my commitment to do everything in my power to ensure that Philadelphians live longer, healthier lives.
In Philadelphia, we are focused on expanding access to nutritious food for people in low-income neighborhoods. In the late 1990s, a national study showed that Philadelphia had the second-lowest number of supermarkets per capita of major cities in the nation. A report by a group called the Food Trust showed that poor supermarket access in Philadelphia is linked to a high incidence of diet-related conditions, such as heart disease and diabetes, in many low-income neighborhoods.
The Food Trust's research led to the establishment of the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative (FFFI), a partnership between government and industry that has worked tirelessly – and effectively – to address lack of access to fresh and healthy foods. The Initiative has resulted in 69 supermarket projects in various stages throughout the state, including 23 in Philadelphia. One of them, a beautiful, 70,000'square-foot ShopRite in West Philadelphia, has done wonders not only in bringing a wide range of fresh and nutritious foods to this low-income, multi-cultural neighborhood, but also in serving residents' dietary preferences and needs and in encouraging other businesses to come back to the area.
In fact, over the years, Philadelphia has developed an extensive healthy food network that includes not only fresh food stores, but community gardens, model urban farms, farmers' markets, and school nutrition programs. The School District of Philadelphia has one of the strongest beverage and snack policies in the country. You won't find any soda in our school vending machines, or candy on school premises.
There's more – much more – that we have done and continue to do to make Philadelphia a healthy community. These include a citywide smoking ban in public places, a highly successful single'stream recycling program, a lead abatement initiative, and our "Green Plan" to expand open and green space in Philadelphia.
We can build healthier, sustainable cities that offer healthy choices to residents and remove obstacles to good health. So I encourage my fellow mayors and municipal leaders across the country to provide leadership to promote greater opportunities for Americans to live long, healthy and productive lives.
For more information contact Dr. Don Schwartz, Deputy Mayor for Health and Opportunities at 215-686-9000.

"It ain't clean. And, it ain't easy. And it ain't a lot of things, but it's so many things at the same time."
—Jenenne Whitfield, executive director of The Heidelberg Project
The Heidelberg Project is a living outdoor art installation in the heart of urban Detroit. Artist Tyree Guyton created a massive art installation spanning two city blocks where deteriorating homes are reinvigorated with paint and repurposed materials. In the video above, you'll see some of the somewhat wild colors (from pastels to brilliant primary colors), patterns (polkadots), and materials (stuffed animals).
Much like Jimmy Boggs' mantra to "make a way out of no way," Guyton says the philosophy of his 25-year project is "to take nothing, and to take that nothing and create something very beautiful, very whimsical to the point that it makes people think."

Black Sabbath live is about the closest thing to a religious experience I'll probably ever have.
This week was my fourth time seeing them, having seen them twice before with Ozzy (Ozzfest 2004 and Ozzfest 2005) as well as once with Dio (touring as Heaven & Hell in 2007.) It was about fucking time to see Black Sabbath with Ozzy do a proper headlining show and not the abbreviated Ozzfest sets from summers past.
Before Black Sabbath took the stage, Andrew W.K. did some DJ thing that was so utterly boring and forgettable that it's hardly worth talking about. He basically did nothing, and the crowd returned about the same to him. The only time the crowd reacted at all was when he played Dio's "Last in Line" - that elicited a cheer and was easily the highlight of a job that could've been done by an iPod.
The sun hadn't even set when Black Sabbath hit the stage with "War Pigs." We were in the closest right section to the stage, in row C, which effectively is about 4th/5th row at the DTE (there's a center section that is slightly more in front, but those rows weren't actually in front of us, and thankfully not blocking our view.) I was thrilled that our tickets put us on the right, because Tony Iommi is a god damn beast. When I was sixteen I started teaching myself how to play guitar for one reason: Tony Iommi. Experiencing his playing that up close was incredible. While his stage persona is to largely plant and attend to business, up close it becomes apparent just how animated he is while he's playing. He's constantly cracking grins at Ozzy, looking to the crowd, and nodding approval. His playing was flawless throughout the set. That this guy had cancer and is still in treatments is just amazing to me. Tony Iommi truly is Iron Man.
Ozzy Osbourne has never been a great vocalist, and at 64, it's practically a miracle that he can still walk, let alone take the stage and yell into a microphone. Vocally his performances have weakened. I last saw him in 2010 with his solo band. Ozzy has gotten noticeably worse since then. It seems like he struggles to hear and find the correct pitch sometimes. That said, during the show, he's still good enough that his mistakes don't detract from the overall show. Where Ozzy fails as vocalist, he really succeeds as an entertainer, however. While he doesn't exactly run around the stage and chuck water at people like in days past, he's still about as active as anyone could hope. I've never seen any performer that can work a crowd quite like Ozzy. His attitude on stage is also fantastic. He's enthusiastic, and humble. When the band launched into Iron Man, Ozzy pointed at Tony: "He is Iron Man!" At the end of the show, Ozzy got onto his knees and did a Wayne's World "we're not worthy" bow to the crowd. During the show, Ozzy constantly points to Tony and Geezer. He's basically a cheerleader for some of the greatest musicians rock's ever had. That's not such a bad thing.
Geezer Butler and Tommy Clufetos were a rock solid rhythm section. The band's mix, even this close, was crystal clear and beautiful. One advantage to a one-guitar band is that you don't get the sonic mud of a mix that other bands become prone to. Feeling Geezer's bass live is one of those feelings that's just While I would've preferred Bill Ward on drums, at no point during the set was I actually thinking that. Clufetos is competent drummer and plays with far more energy than I witnessed from Bill in 2004 or 2005. While I still would've preferred Bill's involvement in some, even any capacity, I cannot say that his absence negatively impacted my enjoyment of the concert.
The band's set was a good mix of new and old. "Under the Sun" and "Behind the Wall of Sleep" were new for me, and incredibly welcome. Other classics, like "Into the Void" still seem fierce, and fresh. The new material fit into the set well. "Age of Reason" sounds like something that fell off of Volume 4 and was forgotten about until now. "End of the Beginning" borrows a little too heavily from Sabbath's catalog (e.g. "Black Sabbath" and "Dirty Women") but it still rocked. Ozzy struggles quite a bit on "Methademic" but I was glad it hasn't been cut from the set (yet.) It's a solid uptempo rocker. "God is Dead?" works well live, and is a good reminder of how much better the Rick Rubin produced 13 is compared to those new songs included a decade and a half ago on Reunion.
It is probable that this will be Black Sabbath's last tour, and even more likely that 13 will be their last album. This made the tour somewhat of a "bucket list" event for me. Black Sabbath has been such an enduring influence for me, that to miss them coming around (with new material, no less) would be sacrilege. And if it is their last tour, it's a hell of a way to go out. This is a band that, musically, is tight. They're overwhelmingly enthusiastic about what they're doing. They can drop such serious songs on their legion of fans, but still while cracking a smile. When the guys were standing off stage about to come back on for the obligatory "Paranoid," Tony hit Ozzy over the head with his guitar strap and they both started laughing. When Tony is playing a somber riff, Ozzy strolls over and tries to break his composure.
This is the type of band where you wish you could take the experience, the music, the attitude, the atmosphere of the show, and just freeze it in time, and take it with you into the void.
(My friend filmed God is Dead? from the show. I cleaned up the audio a bit in Pro Tools.)
Great review.

I was fortunate enough to have seen them on their 1999 reunion and it was magical (much better than when I saw them in 1986 with Ray Gillen ) so I don't feel I need to see them anymore but if this would have hit Montréal I would have gone for sure
Cheers !
Life Down There Is Just A Strange Illusion
He has a distinctive voice for sure and is decent enough at singing. In his book he says his contributions to the music of Black Sabbath was coming up with the melodies for the songs but how good is he technically if at all?
This review is getting me really pumped for the 28th. I am also seeing them on the 3rd of September at the "sold out" LA Sports Arena.
8/31 - Sleep
11/10 - Judas Priest
11/14 - Slayer
Great review; I'm really bummed that this isn't coming to Denver and I can't afford to travel right now, so I am crossing my fingers that maybe they do another batch of tour dates maybe at the end of this year, cause while I never fully got into Sabbath, their mark on metal history is reason enough for me to hope for a Denver date

Yeah, before my show I was afraid something would get cut.

Is it finally time to recycle?
Drinking water after a game is a good thing to keep hydrated, much better than sugar loaded sports drinks. But does that water have to be in a plastic bottle that gets thrown away each week? Why not purchase an aluminum bottle, a reusable plastic bottle, or a thermos you can reuse over and over again.
What's the big deal, you ask? It's just a couple of bottles. Well, scroll down and make up your own mind.
This equals 6,800 plastic water bottles thrown away in one year, filling up our landfills, and polluting the earth.
Now the amazing thing is this picture above is showing ONLY 34 TEAMS, assuming each player and ONLY one parent, drinks ONLY one bottle per game.
We have OVER 350 TEAMS! Meaning we could possibly throw away anywhere between 40,000 and 85,000 bottles out every year.
That could easily cover both large Sports Complex soccer fields two or three times over.
Something to think about…

The Deal: Pfizer's 3-Way Split Preps Company Long Term
Pfizer will formally separate into three distinct businesses and integrate emerging markets into each, with the separation of financials expected to begin starting with Pfizer's fiscal 2014, Chairman and CEO Ian Read said during the company's sales and earnings conference call with investors Tuesday, July 30.
Pfizer's generics business, now called the "value products group," includes brands that have lost their exclusivity and mature products expected to go generic by 2015. This sector also retains Pfizer's biosimilars portfolio.
Many investors believe the move is in preparation for a spinoff into a separate generics company or for an outright sale, but Pfizer isn't ready to say that.
The two other segments include the expected unit of drugs with exclusivity beyond 2015, called "innovative products" and led by Geno Germano. That unit, which was the one industry watches hadn't expected in the reognization, combines vaccines, oncology and consumer healthcare products, and will be headed up by Amy Schulman.
The rationale for the third unit, Read said, is that Germano's group is operationally and commercially quite different from the vaccines group. The products in Germano's group target a collection of large disease areas that are detailed to both primary care and specialist physicians. Contrast that to the vaccines business, which is smaller, with a distinct culture, dedicated research facilities and a research focus.
"I thought it was very important for those businesses to maintain their unique focus and extend it globally," Read said. Plus, he "didn't want
"Each has a different operating model with distinct specializations around science, talent and market approach," Read noted.
The generics segment will maintain collaborations for broadening Pfizer's off-patent business, including its partnerships with Mylan Pharmaceuticals in Japan, China's Zhejiang Hisun Pharmaceutical and Laboratorio Teuto Brasileiro in Brazil.
Like several other lumbering pharma giants, Pfizer needed to do something to get lean and mean. It reported revenue of roughly $13 billion for the second quarter, down 7% from 2012's second quarter revenue of $14 billion. The downturn reflects loss of exclusivity for Lipitor and continued volatility in emerging markets.

Q. Why does the New Jersey Department of Health plan to vaccinate volunteer hospital and public
health workers for smallpox?
A. As part of a federal Homeland Security program,
the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC) asked all states to submit a plan
to vaccinate volunteer first-line healthcare workers and public
health workers against the smallpox virus to defend against the
potential for a bioterrorism attack. New Jersey submitted its
plan for this first stage to the CDC December 9, 2002 and it was
approved in early January 2003. The plan for Stage 1 vaccinations
in New Jersey is consistent with the New Jersey Department of Health (NJDOH) Terrorism and Public Health
Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan.
Q. According to the New Jersey Smallpox Vaccination Plan, who
will be immunized first?
A. The first group of people who will be vaccinated
are volunteer public health workers who, in turn, will be able
to vaccinate other health care workers in the future. We also
plan to vaccinate public health response team members and hospital
health care response team members.
Q. Who are on the Public Health Response Teams?
A. The Public Health Response Teams will be comprised
of, but not limited to, a physician team leader, epidemiologist,
public health nurse/vaccinator, a lab worker, law enforcement
agent, regional planner/coordinator, a LINCS (Local Information
Network Communication System) planner/coordinator and an industrial
Q. Who are on the Hospital Health Care Response Teams?
A. Hospital health care response teams will be
comprised of, but not limited to, emergency physicians, infectious
disease physicians, emergency department nurses and general nursing
staff, infection control practitioners, and ancillary and security
Q. What will these teams do?
A. The Public Health Response Teams will be deployed
to hospitals to investigate a high-risk or confirmed patient with
smallpox, identify potential contacts, collect clinical specimens,
and ensure safety precautions are maintained. The Hospital Health
Care Response Teams will provide direct patient care and ensure
that proper infection control procedures, personal protective
equipment and security are available. In the event of a smallpox
outbreak, these teams will help treat and contain the disease.
Q. How credible is the smallpox threat to New Jersey?
A. At this time, the worldwide threat is uncertain.
However, the New Jersey Department of Health
recognizes that it is prudent to acknowledge the possibility of
the threat and prepare to protect New Jersey citizens in accordance
with the federal plan. The Department will rely on receiving additional
updated information from law enforcement and federal and state
intelligence agencies.
Q. Where will vaccination clinics be located?
A. The Department has identified seven clinic
sites. They will be in five regions (northeast, northwest, central
east, central west, and south) and one in Newark, an MMRS site
(Metropolitan Medical Response System). The southern region clinic
will alternate between two locations. Department of Health staff will be assigned to each clinic location.
Q. How many people can be vaccinated in a day?
A. Initially, in the vaccination preparedness
program, each clinic will be able to vaccinate up to 720 individuals
per day. Each regional clinic will operate about one day a week
for four weeks.
Q. How many doses of vaccine does New Jersey
have now?
A. The Department of Health
has received 5,000 doses of the 9,500 approved does of vaccine
from the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
for the Stage 1 preparedness program.
Q. Why is the number of vaccines less than the 15,000 New Jersey
A. New Jersey presented an aggressive plan to
the CDC to have treatment teams available in every acute care
hospital plus investigation teams of public health workers. The
CDC provided enough vaccine for New Jersey to begin its preparedness
program. The number of volunteers allows for adequate treatment
teams in the event of an outbreak.
Q. When will the smallpox vaccine be administered?
A. Vaccines for volunteers among public health
and hospital workers began January 31, 2003 and will continue
through the first week of March.
Q. Is there enough smallpox vaccine for everyone?
A. There is enough licensed vaccine available
at this time to vaccinate volunteers in the Stage 1 vaccination
preparedness program (i.e., public health and hospital response
teams). The federal government does not recommend vaccination
of the general public at this time.
to the information received from CDC, there will be enough vaccine
to inoculate the entire country within the next 12-16 months.
Q. Is there a cure for smallpox?
A. There are medications that can be used for
supportive care (i.e., to treat the symptoms of smallpox). However,
there is no "cure" for smallpox, and it cannot be treated
with antibiotics.
Q. Are there side effects to the smallpox vaccine? How safe is
the vaccine?
A. There are side effects and risks associated
with the smallpox vaccine.
Some people experience normal, usually mild reactions that include
a sore or swollen arm, fever, and body aches. However, other people
experience reactions ranging from serious to life threatening.
Q. Who are most likely to have serious side
effects from the vaccine?
A. Serious side effects are most likely to occur
in people who have now or in the past have had, even once, skin
conditions, especially eczema or atopic dermatitis, and people
with weakened immune systems, such as those who have received
a transplant, are HIV positive, are receiving treatment for cancer,
or are currently taking medications (like steroids) that suppress
the immune system. In addition, women who are breastfeeding or
pregnant women should not get the vaccine at this time because
of the potential risk it poses to the baby or unborn fetus. And
people under 18 years of age and those allergic to the vaccine
or any of its components should not receive the vaccine at this
Q. How many people get side effects after being vaccinated?
A. In the past, about 1,000 people for every 1
million people vaccinated for the first time experienced reactions
that, while not life-threatening, were serious. These reactions
included a toxic or allergic reaction at the site of the vaccination
(erythema multiforme), spread of the vaccinia virus to other parts
of the body and to other individuals (inadvertent inoculation),
and spread of the vaccinia virus to other parts of the body through
the blood (generalized vaccinia). These types of reactions may
require medical attention. In the past, between 14 and 52 people
out of every 1 million people vaccinated for the first time experienced
potentially life-threatening reactions to the vaccine. Based on
past experience, it is estimated that 1 or 2 people in 1 million
who receive the vaccine may die as a result. Careful screening
of potential vaccine recipients is essential to ensure that those
at increased risk do not receive the vaccine.
Q. How many people have been vaccinated so far?
A. Some laboratory technicians, the federal public
health response team, and groups in clinical trials related to
production of Vaccinia Immun Globulin (VIG-for treatment of severe
side effects) have been vaccinated.
Q. Can
I go to my doctor and get vaccinated against smallpox?
No. The federal government does not recommend vaccinations for
the general public at this time. Vaccine will be distributed on
a limited, secure basis to state health departments.
Can a hospital or person be held liable for injuries to a volunteer
who has a severe reaction to the vaccine?
Section 304 of the federal Homeland Security Act provides an exclusive
remedy against the United States for injury or death attributable
to smallpox vaccine, other substances used to treat or prevent
smallpox, or vaccinia immune globulin ("smallpox countermeasures").
This means that no claim for liability for injury or death attributable
to a smallpox countermeasure could be brought against entities
or individuals who are covered by Section 304's protections. This
volunteers who receive the vaccine, hospitals in which they work,
and people who administer the vaccine.
Q. When do the provisions of Section 304 become effective?
The effective date, as established in the Homeland Security Act,
was January 24, 2003.
Are volunteers who suffer severe reactions to the smallpox vaccine
entitled to worker's compensation?
Yes. NJDOH will register volunteers for the preparedness program
with the Office of Emergency Management and those people will
be eligible for state workers compensation for prolonged reactions.
Those employed by institutions, such as hospitals, will be covered
by their institution's worker's compensation carrier.
in rare circumstances, reactions to the vaccine are mild. Screening
for contraindications will help prevent giving the vaccine to
volunteers who may be at risk or who come in regular contact with
someone who could be at risk.

'Best day of my life'
A girl with Down's syndrome revels in being a mermaid for a day.
By DONNA WINCHESTER
Published April 13, 2007
Emily McGeorge drops down on the dock and inches herself to the edge. She dips her toes in the water, shivers.
Now that the moment she has waited for is here, the tanned, toned arms reaching out for her seem so far away.
"Come on, Emily! Just jump in," Mermaid Denise calls out.
Emily closes her eyes, holds her nose, propels herself forward. And just like that, she's in the water.
Denise McGrath and fellow mermaid Marcy Terry are beside her in an instant, slipping a red float under her torso. Minutes later, the three are positioned in front of the panoramic window of Weeki Wachee Springs' underwater theater.
All hesitation vanishes as Weeki Wachee's special mermaid-for-a-day takes center stage.
* * *
The well-known Florida attraction contacted Emily's parents in March after a story about her appeared in the St. Petersburg Times. The 18-year-old, who has Down's syndrome, had starred in six performances of The Little Mermaid at her school, Nina Harris Exceptional Student Education Center in Pinellas Park.
Weeki Wachee Springs general manager Robyn Anderson offered Emily a "mermaid makeover," a photo session and a chance to swim with the park's famous mermaids, a $200 package, at no charge.
Pam and Gordon McGeorge took off from work Thursday to drive Emily to Weeki Wachee from their home in St. Petersburg. To make it an extra-special treat, they left the evening before and spent the night at a motel.
"She didn't know what Weeki Wachee was," Pam McGeorge said. "We had to explain to her it's the place where the mermaids swim."
The next thing Pam knew, Emily was telling her, "I'm going to swim with mermaids like me."
* * *
Preparations for Emily's special day began in the theme park's gift shop. Anderson, formerly known as "Mermaid Robyn," gathered trinkets she thought Emily might like: a turquoise T-shirt, a silver-tone mermaid pendant, a hairbrush with a handle shaped like a mermaid's tail.
First stop on a park tour was the costume room, where Emily eyed a gossamer mermaid tail dripping with sequins. Anderson explained to Pam and Gordon that Emily would wear a mermaid tail for her photo session, but not in the water because the tail restricts mobility.
"It's not easy being a mermaid," Anderson told them.
Emily toured the underwater theater, then sat still as Mermaid Denise brushed blue shadow on her eyelids, the exact shade of the tail she'd selected for Emily.
Next stop was the 11 a.m. show, the park's own version of The Little Mermaid. Emily leaned forward when the prince appeared and stood when the Little Mermaid got her land legs. She covered her face when the evil sea witch whipped the water to foam.
She didn't hesitate when her mother asked her which prince was more handsome, the Weeki Wachee prince or the prince from her school play.
"My prince," Emily said, blushing.
* * *
Just after noon, the magical moment arrives. Emily's parents wait in the darkened underwater theater for the first glimpse of their daughter.
"There she is!" Pam squeals when Emily comes into view.
As Emily bobs up and down on the water's surface and makes "fishy faces" against the window, Pam and Gordon motion for her to go under water. Finally, Mermaid Marcy holds up one finger, two fingers, three fingers. Emily squeezes her eyes shut, goes under and comes up laughing.
Twenty minutes and scores of photos later, Mermaids Denise and Marcy lead Emily back to the dock. They help her out of the water and wrap her in a blue beach towel.
Back in the mermaid lounge, they present her with a certificate of completion from mermaid school and a T-shirt signed "with hugs and fishes" from all the mermaids.
"I hope you had fun today," Mermaid Denise tells her. "You were a good mermaid."
Emily, her hair streaming and eyes shining, hugs Mermaid Denise, turns away and comes back to hug her again.
"This was the best day of my life," she says.
"I think you made her day," Pam McGeorge tells the mermaids. "I think you made her life."

Cliff Fallout
Hard to feel good about "victory."
It seems ungracious to fail to acknowledge Congressional approval of a bill that avoids the so-called fiscal cliff of tax increases and budget cuts. But it would also be disingenuous to give our elected lawmakers much credit. If anything the endgame we watched unfold over the last few days seemed as contrived and shrewdly calculated as the posturing of the last few months. A few lawmakers avoided political suicide. That's about it. We saw not one shred of evidence of an ability to govern responsibly.
About the most we can hope for at this point is a few months of attention diverted to other issues to allow the markets and the economy to stabilize a bit on their own and a bit on some measure of restored consumer confidence. We have so little political confidence that the simple avoidance of even greater harm seems like a victory.

The problems with surrogacy
To the editor:
Surrogacy brokers, such as Steven Snyder, and their network of carefully groomed surrogates would have you believe that surrogacy is a beautiful process where everyone wins. But if surrogacy agreements are already happening, and everything is going well, then why are surrogacy advocates pushing for government interference in this business?
Put simply, the new legislation (HF 291/SF 2627) protects their significant business interests, as surrogacy arrangements can cost well over $100,000, and can pay surrogates tens of thousands of dollars (no wonder some surrogates and the fertility industry are rushing to defend the practice).
Follow the money.
As chronicled in films such as "Breeders" by the Center for Bioethics and Culture, surrogacy agreements do not always go well, and sometimes women decide that the intended parents are not fit parents, or that they don't want to give up the baby that they have carried and with which they have bonded for nine months. And because Minnesota has never said these contracts are valid, courts have no duty to honor them.
Like many states, Minnesota law is unclear as to the validity of surrogacy agreements. Simply because they are happening, and no one is stopping them, does not mean that they are legal or valid contracts. For example, people may make agreements to sell themselves into slavery, and the government may not know about it, but our state would never enforce such a contract because it is inconsistent with our state's public policy.
It is the position of those opposed to these arrangements that surrogacy agreements – which do in fact involve the buying and selling not just of babies, but usually also eggs, gametes, and even embryos (actual human beings) – are invalid contracts until the law definitively declares otherwise, which is what this legislation would do.
The proposed surrogacy legislation will also definitively foreclose any right a surrogate has to the child she carries, and does nothing to protect the woman who changes her mind, or the best interests of the children carried by surrogates. In fact, it circumvents and undermines the adoption process, which has many protections built into it for both the birth mother and child.
Minnesota should reject this legislation and instead join other American states, Canada, many European nations and ban surrogacy as bad for women, children, and our society because it commodifies human beings, amounts to human trafficking, and, in the words of the European Parliament, is a form of violence against women. We have not even begun to explore the many potential physical and psychological harms of surrogacy to both surrogates and the children that are being chronicled in the British Journal of Medicine and other places.
Surrogacy is baby-selling, pure and simple. Money is paid for embryos, and money is paid when the baby is delivered. Minnesota should be moving to reject this ghastly industry that, whatever the good intentions of some legislators, prospective parents and surrogates, is motivated by greed and contempt for the well-being of women, children, and society.

Kings fans, what are your online needs from The Bee?
Would you like to see box scores next to games stories, with a photo gallery of the game?
Would you like a sports ticker that gives you score updates during every Kings game?
Would you like to have your own blog on sacbee.com, where you can tell others what you think of the Kings?
Do you want mobile alerts, with a score update and key statistic or note, from a Bee reporter at Kings games? Or how about a mobile alert any time a Kings starter got injured during practice or told a reporter he wanted to be traded?
How about a reader discussion board where you can debate with Bee columnists, editors and other readers who should be getting more minutes, and maybe who should be traded?
We're planning to do all of the above when we launch our redesigned site in mid-October. The mobile alerts will likely take a little longer, but will be working on that, too.
Our sister paper, The Charlotte Observer, is using a forum tool from a company called Pluck to host reader discussion boards on the Carolina Panthers of the NFL. Check it out. What would you suggest we do with such a tool to get a community dialogue going about the Kings?
Below is a mockup of what sacbee's new Kings page might look like.
We will of course continue to produce all the content you've come to expect from The Bee. We are the only news organization that attends every Kings game, practice, news conference. We are almost always first with any news about the Kings, and on that rare occasion when we get beat, we always make sure we do a better job than any one else at explaining why something happened, whether it be a trade or draft decision.
Kings fans, we want to hear from you. Send us your suggestions for improving our Kings content in the paper and online to firstname.lastname@example.com, or drop a comment below. If you have an example of what you'd like The Bee to do online with its Kings page, please send us a link and tell us what you like about that Web site.

Spaghetti with Walnut, Basil and Ricotta Sauce
When travelling in Italy, I became addicted to the simple rustic pasta dishes – just a few really good quality ingredients, a bottle of wine and bellisimo! My favorite was one that incorporated bread, nuts and herbs to make the sauce rather than the rich creamy sauces you often find here. You could use any nuts or herbs and add cooked chicken, seafood or fish to this dish, too.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
A lucky group of children from Beaumont and Port Arthur Independent School Districts visited The Giving Field in Beaumont on Friday, April 26, for an Educational Health and Wellness Fair to celebrate Global Youth Service Day 2013.
IEA and Ben's Kids along with 100 local 4th and 5th grade students hosted this year's Global Youth Service Day at the Giving Field in Beaumont.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Adults with diabetes who perceive family members' behaviour as unsupportive are less adherent to their medication regimen
- Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, Oakland, California, USA
- Correspondence to: Richard W Grant
Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, 2101 Webster, Oakland, CA 93452, USA; richard.w.grant{at}kp.org
Commentary on: Mayberry LS, Osborn CY. Family support, medication adherence, and glycemic control among adults with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes Care 2012;35:1239–45.
Implications for practice and research
Understanding the family dynamics is crucial to improve diabetes management.
Family members can both support and sabotage the patient's self-management efforts.
Adults with type 2 diabetes see their physician more often than most other patients. National survey data indicate that the typical patient with diabetes will have seven to nine appointments in a year with their primary provider and additional visits with specialists, nurses and educators.1 Added together over the course of a year clinical care interactions represent <1% of an individual's daily life. For the other 99% of the time, people must self-manage their disease within the context of their families, workplaces and communities. …

HEAD Hawk 17G Tennis String Reel White
Our staff has not reviewed this product yet.
Head looks to revolutionize the polyester string market with the introduction of their latest offering. The new Head Hawk 17G Tennis String White Reel poly promises to offer a unique blend of playing characteristics unlike any other string. It utilizes a process called Crystal Core Technology. This unique manufacturing process gives Head control over the molecular structure of the string itself, allowing them to engineer different layers with different material properties. The outer layer contains highly oriented molecules, allowing the string to generate stiffness and energy efficiency resulting in a high level of explosive power. Head then gives the inner core of the string a more crystalline structure. This adds a unique level of dampening and touch to the string's performance. The string blends the best of both worlds for polyester, allowing for an incredible amount of power while still offering a high level of comfort, touch and responsiveness. The 17-gauge diameter offers a great blend of solid durability with a high level of control and feel. Head Hawk is an exciting new addition that will appeal to many players as it offers power, control and feel without compromising on any.
Composition: Polyester
Color: White
Gauge: 1.25mm
Length: 660'

Stephanie Wheeler Blog - Are We There Yet???
The consumate question, right??? When you were a kid it was a staple in the vocabulary...going to relatives houses far away or going to a seemingly nonexistant vacation destination. Well, that very accurately describes the way I feel right now. I've been watching the Olympics non stop the past few days and I am so ready to be there!! I see all the venues where we will compete and the bird's nest where Opening Ceremonies will be and I just keep getting more and more excited each and every time I watch TV. And speaking of opening ceremonies....WOW!!! I got goosebumps watching the amazing show that was put on. If the Opening Ceremonies for the Paralympics are anything like that, then we are in for an incredible show!!
As for training, the past few weeks, I have been focusing heavy on my cardio and physical conditioning. I have had some incredibly intense workouts that have definitely got the blood flowing and the sweat too!! I have spent alot of time doing interval training on the UBE (upper body urgometer) and on the track in my basketball chair. I have also been doing lots of chair skills on the court and mixing that in with shooting workouts while I'm tired and shooting free throws while I am tired. I have still been training mainly by myself which I have been enjoying. It makes it so much fun when we get together as a team to see everyone and it still seems pretty fresh. It has been about 2 months since we have played a game, so constantly playing against your teammates gets repetitive sometimes, but hopefully, it will all pay off next month! We actually have a training camp coming up this week in Colorado Springs at the training center, so it will be good to see everyone again!
Good luck to our athletes competing right now...keep making us proud and bring home the gold!!! Until next time.....

Back from the Fields, Yangshuo, China
This is a limited edition etching print of 100. Signed and numbered by the artist.
Size: 36 x 42 cm
I work mainly with copper-plate etching although I also have some of my pencil drawings on display here. I enjoy making images of animals, rural views and every day scenes, finding inspiration from my surroundings and the places I have visited on my travels. My aim is to evoke the atmosphere and feel of the scene, or the texture and personality of the animal I am drawing.
The sizes shown about each picture refer to the image area - there is extra paper all round the image.
We cannot guarantee that the colour of the pictures on your screen is exactly the same as the original print colour.
We also have a bespoke framing service.
Please email email@example.com who will be happy to help you with your framing needs.
If you ever have any questions and need a rush delivery, we are on hand to help you.
Please email email@example.com or call 020 7908 1615 if you have any queries.
CultureLabel.com brings together a highly curated collection of art and artist-designed products from leading museums, galleries and artists to buy in one basket.
The price you pay with us is the same as if you go direct to our partners, the only difference is you can buy from all of them together at once.
This also means that different items in an order may arrive separately. Our partners strive to dispatch goods within 6 working days of the order being placed, and you'll get an email to confirm this.
If you need a rush delivery please contact email@example.com.
When you order an item through CultureLabel.com, you are buying from our partners who send it to you directly which means individual postage costs will apply from each individual vendor.
We want you to be completely happy with any item purchased through CultureLabel.com
If for any reason you don't like an item when it arrives, you can return it within 30 days of receiving it and the arts partner that supplied it will issue a refund or replacement.
If you aren't happy with your purchase, if it gets damaged in transit, or if it becomes faulty please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we shall provide you with details on how to return it direct to the supplier.
For hygiene reasons, earrings for pierced ears cannot be returned. Personalised items are also excluded.
If the item is damaged in transit, incorrectly supplied, or develops a fault, we will refund the cost of postage.
In all other cases, you'll need to cover the cost of returning the item. We recommend you obtain proof of postage (free from the Post Office) as we cannot accept responsibility for items lost in the post.
This does not affect your statutory rights.
Our partners aim to send out all items within 2 days of receiving the order. Many of our partners are individual artists & designers, or small shops within art galleries and museums, and so tend to have less resource than a high street brand for organising deliveries and returns.
If you're in the same country as the supplier, please allow 7 days for your order to arrive. For further afield, please allow up to 2-3 weeks. This estimate does not apply to art orders - please see below for further details.
For the Royal Parks Foundation deckchairs and made to order items please allow 4 - 8 weeks.
You should be offered a tracking number and/or delivery date in the email confirmation from the supplier.
Any questions please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
If your order hasn't arrived within 7 days (from sellers in the same country) or between 2-3 weeks (for international vendors), please get in touch with CultureLabel and we'll check for any further updates from the seller on your behalf.
We work closely with our partner galleries to ensure that the utmost care is taken to get the item transported to you in its finest condition.
Since artworks, delivery locations and requirements are always different, we are unable to offer a flat-fee delivery price for transporting fragile art.
We therefore ask you to pay for the piece online, and then the gallery will contact you shortly afterwards by phone to arrange delivery and payment.
Depending on the size, weight, materials and location, we will identify the most suitable and cost effective way of getting the item to you. Please allow up to 6 weeks to receive art pieces.
If you're unsure about any part of the ordering, delivery or returns process, please get in touch with us by email at email@example.com and we'll get straight back to you.
