Topic: Using the rows of one table as the columns of another
I am creating an application where a user will enter objects and rate different attributes of that object. However, I also want the user to be able to sort those attributes by priority, so that I can offer them a weighted list of their objects.
Eventually I envision a drag and drop interface for sorting the attributes based on which is most important to you. You will then rate those attributes on a scale of 1-5 for each object you add. In human terms it would be like saying, "House A has 2 bathrooms and 2 bedrooms. House B has only 1 bathroom, but it has 3 bedrooms. It's not that important to me to have 2 bathrooms, but it's very important to me to have 3 bedrooms, so house B is on the top of my list."
The only way that I can think of to design this is by having 2 tables: one table for the objects, with a column for each attribute's rating - then another table for just the attributes and their priorities, but this seems like it will be difficult to maintain because if I want to add an attribute, I need to add it to both databases.
Is there a way to use the rows in the attribute prioritization table as the columns of the object list table? Or is there some better way to design this?
I hope I'm not totally confusing.

In Copenhagen, 37 percent of commuters now use bikes to get to school or work.I interviewed began with the following introduction: "Don't get me wrong I love bikes, I ride all the time..." and then segued into a barrage of objections: The path was a hazard for old people and mothers with baby strollers crossing to enter the park. Riders pedaled too fast. They should just ride inside the park. The loss of a lane made parking worse and traffic slower. It made it harder to stop to drop kids at school. It was unsightly.
There is more to making a city bike friendly than creating pathways – part of that is changing attitudes.types, but a typical cross section of Europe's working population, people going to the office on the vehicle that works well in their city.
New York has some state-of-the-art bike paths, but commuters aren't using them much.on Columbus Avenue near my home is a sparsely populated chute predominantly used by 20-somethings, bike messengers, and restaurant deliverymen.

Leather, cow neck leather - brown
0.140 inches
What is it
Cow neck leather, approx. 3.5 mm. Important to know: each piece is unique - material thickness, colour and structure vary since we use cow neck leather that has not been embossed.
Design notes
A colored leather with a smooth finish on one side and a suede like finish on the other. Can be dyed to alter the color and oiled to improve water resistance. Some natural imperfections could appear on the surface of the leather.
Because of the laser cutting the pieces have a rather strong smell at first, but this will go away very quickly. Worn a few times, keyring and bag pendants, wristbands and wallets or your very own design will get a nice patina.
Typical uses
Equestrian, tooling, handcraft, belts, picture frames, hand bags, book binding, carving, stamping.
Environmental info
This leather has been tanned and coloured following EU Directives.
Adhesives, joints & fastenings
Rivets and common sewing techniques will work for joining this material.
Hint - Laser cut thread holes and pieces can be stitched neatly by hand.

"[Art] tends to [come from] people who work with a compass instead. Who have an understanding of true north and are willing to solve a problem in an interesting way."
~Seth Godin, from "The Art of Noticing, and Then Seeing"
Artists are often defined by their product, by the thing they made in the world. But, being an artist is as much about figuring out how to make a piece of art.
Minnesota artist Virgil Leih embodies this idea that we're called to create in ways that matter to other people. Mr. Leih is a woodturner who calls himself a "grain chaser." A former minister and executive recruiter, he grew up in a construction family. He recalls his father admiring the rich smell of a two-by-four piece of lumber and passing along that love of wood. Mr. Leih creates impressive — and massive — sculptures out of felled logs, which can only be moved with a forklift and crane. His finished pieces, buffed to a shine with seven layers of shellac, look like fragile pottery.
He uses the largest production wood lathe that's ever been manufactured in the United States to turn these 2,000 to 4,000 pound logs. He rescues the wood from local "tree trunk dumps" and then reveals the beauty inside. He takes chainsaws and hand saws to each trunk as it spins on the lathe, shedding away its outer layers. Ninety-five percent of each log ends up as sawdust, he says. Instead of using typical woodturning tools, he adapted auto-body and other heavy-duty tools to sculpt these logs.
But, one out of three or four pieces would crack, or "blow open," each time he tried to dry them. After years of struggling with this problem, he created his own solution to his biggest challenge for his art. Near the end of the process, he places the turned wood in translucent plastic sheets and places it in a "microwave" oven — a green metal box over six feet tall that has a platform for the piece to spin inside for what he calls a "super defrost cycle."
After years of experimentation in anonymity (from his wife's kitchen to a "microwave" built out of a washing machine shell) he finally got it right, and then he got the call to bring his art into the world.
"When the arboretum invited me to come and do a show, I was so frightened and so scared. Doing a first public showing of something when you're 64 years old, I didn't sleep for weeks."
Mr. Leih's artistry isn't just about the process or the unusual medium he works in, it's the fact that it's intricate, difficult, unguided, self-made, sometimes scary... and the necessary path to his goal. And though he might have been born into his passion for wood, he found his own course for expressing that passion. Seth Godin would approve.

(Washington County (Or.), March , 2005)[more][less]
Abstract: The Tualatin Basin ESEE analysis is the second step in the Goal 5 process required under Oregon Administrative Rules as implemented within the Portland Metropolitan Region through Metro, the regional planning agency. Metro and thirteen Tualatin Basin local governments worked collaboratively as the Tualatin Basin Partners for Natural Places (Partners) to meet an overall goal of improving the environmental health of the basin. This report provides the results of the Partners analysis of the Economic, Social, Environmental and Energy (ESEE) consequences of allowing, limiting or prohibiting conflicting uses within significant Riparian Corridor and Wildlife Habitat resources and their impact areas within the Tualatin Basin ESEE Study Area. This report was developed in compliance with State Goal 5 rules and in coordination with Metro's Goal 5 planning efforts. In addition, the Basin Approach (Appendix A) considers factors outside the Goal 5 Administrative Rules, such as the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and Clean Water Act (CWA). In the Tualatin Basin, these federal rules are being coordinated by Clean Water Services (CWS), one of the partner agencies in this process.

Rim to Rim to Rim - Page 4
Around the water station at Phantom Ranch, he revealed that he is still writing the book, and was in the canyon interviewing runners, asking questions about training, motivation, etc. He took my e-mail address and promised to follow-up with pictures and more questions. Tom and Tim also met the guy, so maybe, someday, we'll be featured on the cover.
I was familiar with the way from Phantom Ranch to the South Rim via Bright Angel, having hiked it last summer. I knew it represented the end of downhills, and the beginning of the climb out. What I didn't remember, was how many miles remained. I guessed 10 ... and hoped it was fewer (Note: Actual distance is 9.3 miles).
The final leg of my journey began, symbolically, on the "silver" bridge—the one with see-through grates, allowing you to view the river 60 feet below. The one that bounces with each step. The bridge that the guy with acrophobia hates, which was motivation to get across it quickly.
Once on the other side, I met two nice ladies posing for pictures. I offered to take one of them together, and they happily agreed. Thirty seconds later I was on my way, thankful that I had invested in some good karma.
The first couple miles along the river are runable, so I did my best to keep a slow jog. I soon encountered that nasty stretch of sand. But—unlike last summer when this area bogged us down—the day of heavy rain had packed it down nicely.
The first major pull up the South Rim is a nasty switchback known as The Devil's Corkscrew. It was brutal, and power hiking, rather than running, was the only way to tackle it. But up I went, 1000 feet over 1.5 miles. When it got tough, I reminded myself that nine-year-old Kendall had done this, and in 95-degree heat.
My next bogey was Indian Garden. And, between here and there was an opportunity to do a little more jogging. But, damn, I was getting tired. And, damn, the miles were getting longer.
I passed the cove and waterfall that make up the north end of the Indian Garden and soon arrived at the campground. I made my way to the common area, the trail intersection where travelers rest and meet. For the first time all day, I took a seat. I drank. I snacked. I contemplated staying there for the rest of my life.
A few hikers recognized me from earlier in the day, on the North Rim. They congratulated me on completing my R2R2R crossing. While I appreciated their confidence, I reminded them that I had not yet finished. I still had over four (nearly straight up) miles to the finish.
I mustered a little bit of running out of Indian Garden, but not much. The legs were shot and the spirit was weakening. My lower back—tired of hauling around 10 extra pounds—was screaming and tight. How the hell was I going to climb 4000 feet over four miles in this condition?
But climb I did. And as I did, the sky became darker and the air became colder. Time to put the trash bag back on and pin the ears back. I said a little prayer, thanking God for getting me this far, then thanking Him again for delivering more cold and wet for the hardest part of the day. He acknowledged with a rainbow that was even better than the one from The Wizard of Oz.
I considered leaving my pack behind, but that felt like cheating, and definitely would have been littering. So, instead, I opted to wear it on my chest. I found that, if I did that and walked backwards, it took away the pressure. Unfortunately, this strategy really slowed me down, and was quite dangerous. After 20 minutes, I abandoned this approach, resolving to just deal with the pain.
At last I came upon my next bogey, the three-mile water house. This was an important milestone, as the three-mile waterhouse is actually visible from the South Rim. In reverse, that meant that I could finally see the top, my final destination. And, wow, was it still a long way up there.
Relentless forward progress. Remember, Kendall did this, and she had to take three steps for every one that you take.
I came upon a mother deer and fawn. They were confused, but not scared of me. I'm sure they, like the rainbow, were some sort of sign or metaphor. But, I was done with that stuff. Just get me to the damn rim.
At the 1.5-mile waterhouse, I sat again. I drank and ate that fourth piece of pizza, the last solid food item in my pack. To save my back, I wanted to dump the two liters of water from my Camelbak. But—forever paranoid of dehydration—I wouldn't do that unless I could fill up my handheld. Well, in the day's final insult, I didn't have the strength to open the spigot at the water fountain. Nor did I consider that I could have dumped the Camelbak into the handeld to get around this issue.
I eventually came through the first tunnel, marking .75 mile from the summit. That was when I knew I had it in the bag. Soon I could see the second tunnel and, determined to finish strong, started jogging again. Past the studio. One more turn. ... Now I could hear the announcer. And I saw the marching band. The confetti was falling. And, just like that, the beautiful lady put the medal around my neck.
In reality, I quietly crossed the "finish line" with a random Japanese couple, out for an evening stroll. They knew something was up, because I was running around with my arms in the air. Twelve hours and 35 minutes after we had first jumped off of the South Rim it was accomplished. Years of dreaming, 14-months of training, one near-death experience, and I had done it.
Now all I had to do was walk the half mile back to Maswick Lodge, with a preliminary stop at the front desk. I had brought my room key, but didn't remember my room number. The people in the lodge looked at me a little suspiciously, but were generally cooperative. They told me my room number and even gave me map to help me navigate.
The rest of our crews emerged from the canyon around 6:30 p.m. and the drinks, food and stories flowed long, long into the night.

Redirected from Positron beam
this wiki
A positron is a subatomic particle, and is an antiparticle of the electron. Positrons belong to a type of particle known as antileptons, the basis of antimatter.
The flow rate of positrons was the fourth and final step of a subspace infrared algorithm. (VOY: "Good Shepherd")
During an encounter in 2154 with the Orions, Enterprise NX-01 found itself on the receiving end of a towing cable that was deployed from Harrad-Sar's barge. The Enterprise was able to break free after it sent a positron burst through its navigational deflector and along the towing cable, which resulted in the triggering of an energy cascade that successfully disabled the Orion's power systems. (ENT: "Bound")
In 2293, USS Excelsior fired a modulated positron beam at the Azure Nebula to ignite the sirillium gases inside to disable Kang's battle cruiser. (VOY: "Flashback")
The Delta Rana warship used jacketed beams of antiprotons and positrons as its main weapon and fired beams with the equivalent firepower of forty megawatts and later four hundred gigawatts at the USS Enterprise-D in 2366. (TNG: "The Survivors")
Positrons could be detected using a positron emission sensor. Doctor Beverly Crusher used this device in 2367 while undertaking an autopsy of the crew of the USS Brattain. The sensor was used for brain tissue cross-sections. (TNG: "Night Terrors")
While exploring a class T cluster in 2376, an away team on the Delta Flyer found displaced positrons on a piece of hull that had been sheared off the ship. One possible cause was an impact from dark matter, though the results were inconclusive. (VOY: "Good Shepherd")

Blue bling bling eyes
Yay it's Friday! I'm so happy since I have a fun filled weekend ahead of me. Hopefully I can just coast at work today. I have two meetings back to back in about 30 minutes so let me get this post up quick!
Last night I filmed my Valentine's Day video. For some reason I got all nervous because I'm going to submit it for one of the You Tube Valentine's Day makeup contests. LOL, i think it messed me up because you know sometimes when you try to blend, and certain spots just will not hold color? Like it looks splotchy? RARRRRrrrrr, it was difficult. I finally pulled it off in the end...I debated doing it over, but there were some really cute moments in there with my boyfriend magically floating a valentines day teddy bear in the background, he he. So I shall have it up by this Sunday, don't you fret :)
Meanwhile, I uploaded a new look last night. It's blue and gold, based on a sample of MAC gold pigment I got. I love that pigment, it's so vibrant! My boyfriend did the music again which I certainly don't mind since it's less work for moi :) It's a bright and fun look and I called it my blue bling bling look he he, gotta represent Hotlanta!
Here's what I used (All MAC unless otherwise stated):
-strobe cream
-minealized skin finish natural in medium dark
-mineralized skin finish in warmed
-sculpt & shape duo in lightsweep/shadester
-bare canvas paint
-gorgeous gold e/s
-gold pigment
-parrot e/s
-blue calm e/s (pro color)
-nylon e/s

-revlon colorstay liquid liner in blackest black

I threw all the ingredients into my food processor and "mixed" until it had the consistency of cornmeal. I dumped the "dough" onto the counter, pressed into a ball, and immediately rolled out thin (this took awhile... the dough did not want to roll out, so I had to let it rest for brief periods of time).
13. Once the dough is approximately 18", rub and brush off the raw flour with the palm of your hand (both sides).
Somewhere on the forum someone said that Shakey's used nothing but flour, water, salt, and (I believe) oil. No leavening agents were used (i.e., no yeast, etc.) and the dough was made and used immediately.So, tonight my wife and I did the big "handoff" with the kids... I came home from work, she left for work. Nothing was prepped for dinner and mine and the kids choices were canned soup or cereal. You get the drift.So, I decided that this would be a good opportunity to make a "Shakey's" style pizza.My recipe:16 oz. high-gluten flour6.5 oz. water1 tbsp. vegetable shortening1 tsp. saltI threw all the ingredients into my food processor and "mixed" until it had the consistency of cornmeal. I dumped the "dough" onto the counter, pressed into a ball, and immediately rolled out thin (this took awhile... the dough did not want to roll out, so I had to let it rest for brief periods of time). Once it was rolled out, I placed in a greased cutter pan and par-baked for 4 minutes at 500 degrees F. After the par-bake, I added sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. The pizza was then baked for about 10 minutes longer until the crust (and bottom) was a golden brown. The pizza was allowed to cool on a wire rack.The pizza was very good in my opinion. It did not have the yeasty or fermented taste of the DKM thin crust, but it did have a VERY crisp and cracker-like (saltine-like) texture with a clean taste. Actually, it's exactly the way I remember Shakey's pizza!So, long story short, this one is a winner! And, from start to finish, the pizza was done in under 30 minutes!
I grew up on pizza & still love it @ almost 50. during my high school days (early 70s) we would hang out at our local Shakeys. I had 4 buddies who worked there 1 later became a assistant manager almost every night & we would get 1 of our buddies to make us a super custom pizza: double cheese & wall to wall toppings. The good old days! I asked the 1 who was mang. about the sauce & skins. He said Shakeys would send pre-mixed spice pacs to add with food service canned tomatoes the dough flour was pre-mixed too. I have been making pizzas ever since they closed Shakeys in the 80s. I live in the deep south we have 2 local pizza joints that have New York style pizza 1 has a wood burning oven. I have been reading you'alls forums & have a few tips, 1st flour measuring if you use a measuring cup do not pack or tap the cup you will add up to 1/3 more flour, this mistake will cause your dough to be hard to roll out, either sift or fluf up the flour with a fork. I also read some of you are looking for the brand of pepperoni that some famous pizza joints use, Sams club has food service brand of Hormel pepperoni that says on the 5lb pac " for high temperature ovens" It dosen't burn at at less than 600deg. I don't know if this is the stuff your lookin for or not. I use it exclusively it just fine. I taught my 11 year old how to make pizzas, the other day she rolled out a skin so thin it was semi transparent (she likes thin crusts) Hey lets wheel & deal I want some Vienna beef hot dogs they don't sell em here. We have a local grocery store who sells King Athur high gluten bread flour in 5lb bags, If anyone is interested in swaping dogs for flour I have a UPS account & would send you a shipping cooler & a pre paid UPS shipping lable. You would have to bring it to a UPS store. we can match $ for $ a bag of flour is about $4.50 plus tax I will ship to you at my cost (having a UPS account means I get a big discount on shipping) post a reply with a link to your email if anyone is interested. Thanks & happy pizza!!! .........Bond-- James Bond

In the past five years in Afghanistan, there have been impressive gains in key health indicators, and a dramatic decrease in infant and child mortality rates due to the efforts of the Afghan Ministry of Public Health, with the support of the United States and the international community. Now many more Afghan women survive pregnancy and childbirth. These dramatic improvements serve as a good reminder to the international community that with sound investments to tackle Afghanistan's still-daunting humanitarian and development needs, progress has been and will continue to be achieved.
Today, I had the honor of joining with the Afghan Minister of Public Health, Dr. Suraya Dalil, who has a very impressive resume, working most recently at UNICEF, to sign a Memorandum of Understanding that serves as another step forward for Afghanistan. In the Memorandum, our countries have agreed to collaborate to provide services to some of the most underprivileged and at-risk populations in Afghanistan: returning refugees. Nearly six million refugees -- who constitute as much as a quarter of Afghanistan's total population -- have returned to Afghanistan since the fall of the Taliban and often have special health needs.
PRM's NGO partners currently run 26 clinics for returned refugees in Nangarhar, Laghman, and Kunar provinces, with funding from the State Department's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM). The agreement I signed today between PRM and the Afghan Ministry of Public Health provides for the transition of 22 clinics -- and the essential services they provide -- to the Ministry of Public Health by July 2013. In the lead up to the transition, the collaboration between the Afghan government and PRM will enable the clinics to ensure that returning Afghan refugees receive the full range of services offered by the Afghan Government's Basic Package of Health Services -- a model program that aims to provide Afghans with a minimum standard of care, and an early success of the Ministry of Public Health. Former refugees and the communities in which they live will continue to receive this standard of care as these clinics are incorporated into the Ministry of Public Health.
The transition we celebrated today is a part of the overall transition that has been taking place throughout Afghanistan. Our collaboration in healthcare for returning refugees is just one piece of the United States' enduring partnership with Afghanistan that strengthens Afghan sovereignty, stability, and prosperity.
When people flee persecution and conflict, their first and most immediate needs are basic: food, shelter, protection. Addressing those needs is our primary concern at PRM, but as displaced people return to their homes and their lives, governments should address the long-term development needs of their citizens. The link between relief and development is especially important in increasing the self-reliance of conflict victims after their displacement.
The signing of this agreement demonstrates our efforts to link assistance programs to development strategies in Afghanistan. The responsible transition of these clinics to the Ministry of Public Health has come about with the cooperation of both our governments and can serve as an example of how U.S. aid can support Afghan leadership and good development policy.
Sophia in the U.S.A. writes:
Well done, enabling these people who have been through so much suffering access to healthcare is a tremendous gesture of goodwill and compassion. While we cannot change the past we can certainly create a better future, especially for the women and children.
Brian S. in the U.S.A. writes:
Why is Ambassador Grossman saying that the barrier to an agreement with Pakistan is their demand for a Presidential apology ? That is not accurate.
What they are demanding is a stop to drone violations of their airspace.
The talks were in English. How could that be misunderstood ?
Kate in the Netherlands writes:
So many women in Afghanistan need counselling on the various warning signs during pregnancy and after giving birth. Moreover, they need help in family planning, personal hygiene and immunization.

Connecticut finished an improbable run to the NCAA Tournament title on Monday night, defeating Kentucky, 60-54 in Arlington, Texas.
The first #7 seed to even make it to the championship game, UCONN captured their program's fourth title in the past 15 years, and their first under second-year head coach Kevin Ollie.
The Huskies' title comes one year after the program was banned from postseason play due to low academic scores. Senior leader Shabazz Napier led the way with 22 points for UCONN. He was named the tournament's Most Outstanding Player.

It was celebration of motion on Sunday when about 200 skaters participated in the Skate of the Union Race on the Fairfax County Police Department Emergency Vehicle Operations Course in Chantilly.
The race capped a weekend of events in Northern Virginia and the District of Columbia dedicated to physical fitness and the freedom that comes with strapping on a pair of skates and soaring almost effortlessly on a summer's morning. The event also raised money for Special Olympics Virginia, a non-profit sports organization that provides opportunities for nearly 13,000 children and adults with mental disabilities.

WHEREAS, mayors support the universal availability of affordable wire line and wireless broadband services; and
WHEREAS, mayors, as the CEOs of local governments, which are themselves significant and sophisticated users of broadband communications technology and eagerly await choice of broadband providers, faster speeds and lower prices; and
WHEREAS, mayors recognize the increasingly vital role broadband wire line and wireless services plays in both homeland and hometown security, including economic security; and
WHEREAS, The United States Conference of Mayors' broadband communications advocacy efforts with Congress, the Federal Communications Commission and the Administration since 2010 has been to call upon the Federal government to:
● Recognize and respect the inherent police powers of local governments, including the right to manage and charge for the use of the public right-of-way; and
● Require that new technologies bear the same social obligations as the services they seek to replace such as supporting E-911 services, consumer privacy, universal service, PEG programming; and
● Appreciate the neighborhood-by-neighborhood expertise local government brings to overseeing the social obligations, including public safety, broadband deployment, and preventing economic redlining; and
● Homeland and hometown security require the dedication of interference free dedicated interoperable spectrum for first responders; and
● Federal policy must continue to distinguish a tax from a fee for benefit rendered, such as use of the rights-of-way; and
WHEREAS, there are continuing challenges being made to local governments' real estate, zoning and taxing authority in communications policy at the federal and state level,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that mayors believe the following actions will serve to protect consumers, local businesses and local governments; and
● Protect Main Street Merchants and Local Tax Revenues in Internet Age: Current tax laws favor on-line or remote commercial transactions as opposed to local purchases. Therefore, The United States Conference of Mayors calls on Congress to adopt legislation such as the Marketplace Fairness Act (S. 336, H.R. 684), so that states might harmonize the tax treatment of transactions conducted on Main Street versus the Internet. The legislative proposal, which requires all sales and use taxes to be collected according to the destination rate, nevertheless protects remote vendors by exempting sellers with less than $1 million in gross remote sales, and bans additional registration, licensing or regulatory requirements; and
● Oppose Efforts to Expand or Make Permanent the Internet Tax Freedom Act: Expansion or making permanent the Internet Tax Freedom Act would severely limit the ability of local governments to require Internet Access providers from bearing their fair share on social obligations and could jeopardize the relief the Marketplace Fairness Act offers. The law is set to expire in November of 2014. Legislation (S. 31/HR 434) has been introduced to make the ban permanent. Congress should allow the ban to sunset, but in no case expand or make permanent the ban. The Internet no longer needs such a safe harbor status; and
● Protection of Police Powers; Rights-of-Way and the Right of a Fair Return for Use Even By Broadband Users: Mayors call on Congress and the Federal Communications Commission to reject legislative and regulatory initiatives to preempt, or otherwise limit, local governments' ability to manage their rights-of-way, including the ability to demand a fair rental payment for the use of same. Fairness and the financial health of local governments across the country demand that local governments retain authority to manage and obtain compensation for the use of their rights-of-way. Included in this compensable use should be broadband services which are not currently paying their fair share of the rent due for use of the community's assets; and
● Extend or Clarify Consumer Protection to Broadband Services: Mayors call on Congress and the Federal Communications Commission to ensure that consumer protections such as privacy rights and rate protection in the absence of real competition are afforded broadband consumers. The regulatory finding that broadband services are interstate information services has led to claims that broadband consumers are not protected under current consumer protections for non information services, nor state and local level consumer protection standards. While Mayors do not accept that claim as there are independent bases to provide consumer protections, such ambiguities should be eliminated by Congress and the FCC by affirmatively extending such protections to broadband users; and
● Update Effective Competition Standards: Current effective competition standards are not providing consumers protection against excessive cable rates. Mayors call on Congress to amend the standard to provide meaningful protection. The General Accounting Office has documented that the only effective competitor to a cable operator is another wireline competitor.Congress should confine its definition of what constitutes effective competition to the presence of a 2nd wireline provider that is available to a large majority of consumers in a community; and
● Oppose Preferential Tax Treatment for Specific Industry: Mayors continue to be concerned about efforts at the federal level that would provide preferential treatment to any industry seeking to create its own special immunity from state and local taxation. Mayors calls upon legislators at the federal and state level to reject legislative initiatives to preempt state and local taxing authority on wireless service providers and their property. Adoption of such special-interest legislation would be a disservice to the taxpayers and citizens of the nation by undercutting a community's ability to bring fairness and equity to our existing tax system; and
● Create/Preserve PEG Jobs by Freeing Up Support: Mayors call on the Congress to enact legislation to eliminate the unnecessary limits on PEG fund uses so as to create or preserve local jobs rather than limit use to capital costs; and
● Preserve Local Zoning Over Cell Towers: Mayors call on Congress to clarify that zoning decisions over cell tower sitings are a power reserved to local government, not the FCC.

The latest diet advice to help you get your healthy year started.
New year, new diet advice: With every January comes a virtual library of new books on how to be slimmer, trimmer and (sometimes) healthier. From the French to the Aztecs, we combed the recent releases to find the best diet advice to help you jumpstart your year of healthy living.
The Parisian Diet: How to Reach Your Right Weight and Stay There by Dr. Jean-Michel Cohen
Dr. Cohen�s diet advice for Americans is not unlike other European-style prescriptions: Eat meals more slowly (take at least 20 minutes at meals 3 times a day) and snack less. Most intriguing is his concept of your �Right Weight,� essentially an average of your weights during your adult life. Though that number may still fall in the overweight category, he encourages dieters to get there and then maintain that weight for at least six months before continuing to lose�a healthy approach that normalizes plateaus and may prevent yo-yoing on the scale.
Best diet advice: The day after a splurge, opt for a �recovery meal�: two hard-boiled egg whites, a large plate of veggies and a cup of nonfat milk.
The MILF Diet: Let the Power of Whole Foods Transform Your Body, Mind and Spirit � Deliciously! by Jessica Porter
Porter�s plan is more a recommendation of a plant-based, whole-foods-heavy lifestyle than specific diet advice. This approach is sensible, but its emphasis on intuition and lack of structure may bother some. The �MILF� moniker�popularized in the movie American Pie, which Porter spells out slightly more politely as �mother with whom I�d like to fornicate��is mostly a gimmick, but the author is quite thoughtful on the topic of discussing diet with your children, suggesting moms mostly let them draw their own conclusions about how certain foods make them feel and look.
Best diet advice: Take the time to chew at least one-third of the food on your plate very slowly�aim for 50+ chews per mouthful. This helps regulate your pace and eases digestion.
The Virgin Diet: Why Food Intolerance is the Real Cause of Weight Gain by JJ Virgin, CNS, CHFS
We�re all a little tired of the notion of gluten-free as a weight-loss plan, but JJ Virgin points out that many popular diet foods�whole-wheat bread, yogurt, tofu�also happen to be foods that some people can�t tolerate. Her diet advice? Cut out the seven foods most likely to cause food intolerance: gluten, soy, dairy, eggs, corn, peanuts and sugar and artificial sweeteners. After 21 days, gradually add them back in to see which, if any, give your tummy trouble. Virgin�s approach is a smart one if you truly suspect you might have celiac disease or another type of food intolerance; it�s a bit high-maintenance as simply a weight-loss plan.
Best diet advice: Have a couple of staple healthy meal templates�Virgin likes soups, rice bowls, wraps and salads�so you can easily mix-and-match healthy protein-carb combos.

The Thyroid Solution Diet: Boost Your Sluggish Metabolism to Lose Weight by Ridha Arem, MD
Many a frustrated dieter has blamed his or her thyroid, but the beauty of Arem�s diet advice is that it�s a nutritionally sound plan for everyone, a variation on the Mediterranean diet that emphasizes protein and low-glycemic foods. The endocrinologist also places a great deal of emphasis on other lifestyle habits such as proper sleep, stress management and exercise.
Best diet advice: Stick as closely to this eating schedule as possible: breakfast between 6-8 a.m., lunch between 11-12:30 p.m., dinner between 5-7 p.m. and snacks if necessary at 10 and 3. It keeps your hormones level throughout the day and will optimize your sleep, too.
The Aztec Diet: Chia Power: The Superfood That Gets You Skinny and Keeps You Healthy by Dr. Bob Arnot
�Ancient� diets are all the rage, and the latest proclaims Aztec warriors as a health ideal�thanks in part to their consumption of chia, a seed high in fiber, omega-3s, magnesium, calcium and iron. Arnot�s commitment to this �superfood� is extreme: The first two weeks of this diet consists of only chia smoothies and light snacks, and the six-week second phase replaces two meals with smoothies. But Phase 3, which he says is �an incredibly healthy way to eat for the rest of your life,� is similar to Paleo plans�with a few more additions like beans and limited dairy.
Best diet advice: Don�t underestimate the importance of beverages�the right choices can fill you up and help control hunger. Arnot likes almond milk, skim milk, coconut water and green tea�and drinks a 6 oz. serving of Coke every day as his special treat.
Balance Your Life, Balance the Scale: Ditch Dieting, Amp Up Your Energy, Feel Amazing and Release the Weight by Jennifer Tuma-Young
You won�t find any recipes, meal plans or exercises in this book�Tuma-Young, a life coach, focuses on the way our overscheduled, stress-filled lives prevent us from making the right choices. Instead of traditional diet advice, the book is chock-full of practical exercises for finding room in our lives for healthy routines, from journaling to organizational tips to easy meditation practices.
Best diet advice: Sit down and write out your �ideal schedule� for a week that includes your best healthy habits, e.g. workouts on Mondays and Wednesdays, volunteering on Thursday, cooking for the week on Sunday. Then continue with your actual schedule for a month, but brainstorm how you might gradually convert it to the ideal one�say, trading off picking up kids with a friend, quitting a commitment you no longer love or asking your boss for a more flexible schedule.

Beijing Food
Last updated by david at 2016/6/27
For any country's popularity, its cuisine is one of the major contributing factors and a source of attraction for the tourists. If you have been fortunate enough to travel across China, then you must have an idea that China is such a vast country that is enriched in providing you a countless number of cuisine varieties that differ from one another according to the regions, natives and provinces. And, if you have not visited China, then be ready to visit this country which is having a lot of charm as far as cuisine is concerned. Being the capital of China, the city of Beijing is also world famous for its specialty cuisine.
Beijing food or Northern food is a collection of varieties from Hebei, Shangdong, Lower Yangzi River, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. Methods of cooking include barbecuing, deep-boiling, roasting, smoking and braising. Local products such as garlic, ginger, leeks, pork, spring onions, bean sauce, different spices, chilies and vegetables, particularly the Northern white cabbage, together with duck, pork, chicken, seafood, beef, and lamb are used to make many varieties of gourmet dishes.
Beijing Featured Food:
Man Han Quan Xi (feast Of Complete Manchu Han Courses)
The Manchu and Han banquet originated during the Qing Dynasty. At first the complete courses of Manchu and Han were served separately, but later both were combined and thus the Man Han Quan Xi came into being shortly after the Manchu rulers took supreme power in Beijing. In an attempt to unify the two most important ethnic groups of the empire, the Qing emperors ordered that the two peoples should live, work, and eat together. To reduce social resistance while ruling a nation whose dominant population was Han, the Manchu rulers ostensibly strove to equalize the treatment of the Manchu and Han officials, encouraging the exchange and integration between the two cultures in all aspects. This is the historical backdrop of Man Han Quan Xi.
The Evolvement of Man Han Quan Xi
By the reign of Emperor Kangxi (1654-1722), the integration of Manchu and Han people had advanced dramatically from several decades before. More frequent exchanges between officials of the two sides was realize

Clinton Bush Haiti Fund | White House
At the request of President Obama, former Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush are partnering to lead a major fundraising effort for Haiti. Yesterday, President Obama said:
"In times of great challenge in our country and around the world, Americans have always come together to lend a hand and to serve others and to do what's right. That's what the American people have been doing in recent days with their extraordinary generosity and contributions to the Haitian people.
"At this moment, we're moving forward with one of the largest relief efforts in our history -- to save lives and to deliver relief that averts an even larger catastrophe. The two leaders with me today will ensure that this is matched by a historic effort that extends beyond our government, because America has no greater resource than the strength and the compassion of the American people.
"We just met in the Oval Office -- an office they both know well. And I'm pleased that President George W. Bush and President Bill Clinton have agreed to lead a major fundraising effort for relief: the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. On behalf of the American people, I want to thank both of you for returning to service and leading this urgent mission."
Underscoring the importance of sustained attention to the issue, President Obama continued:
"In any extraordinary catastrophe like this, the first several weeks are just going to involve getting immediate relief on the ground. And there are going to be some tough days over the next several days. People are still trying to figure out how to organize themselves. There's going to be fear, anxiety, a sense of desperation in some cases.
"I've been in contact with President Préval. I've been talking to the folks on the ground. We are going to be making slow and steady progress, and the key now is to -- for everybody in Haiti to understand that there is going to be sustained help on the way.
"But what these gentlemen are going to be able to do is when the news media starts seeing its attention drift to other things but there's still enormous needs on the ground, these two gentlemen of extraordinary stature I think are going to be able to help ensure that these efforts are sustained. And that's why it's so important and that's why I'm so grateful that they agreed to do it."

Marc in Japan writes:
I praise the President in his efforts to rally every important figure to help Haiti after the disaster.I would also suggest that he release an order to allow native Haitians serving in different branches of the Military to join Army and Marine Units on the ground and provide assistance in language and intelligence. Many of us were born and raised in Haiti. Not only we are getting paid up to 12000 dollars a year for language proficiency but we also know the terrain. We can make a difference if receiving orders to go down there and help our people. It would also be an honor to take care of our brothers and sisters while wearing US Military Uniform and US Flag. We decided to join the Military after 9/11 as a payback of what America has done for our country.T he American people just proved how much they care for us.It is definitely an honor to serve.

Chuck S. in Minnesota writes:
URGENT! Please issue the clearance so the children can be evacuated from Haiti. The children all have parole visas in hand. However, in addition to the parole visas, the Department of State must give clearance and that has not been done.
Karen H. in Minnesota writes:
Please PLEASE issue clearance for children in Haiti who have been "matched" with their adoptive parents to come home to the USA to their forever families as soon as possible. The situation in Haiti is dire and there is no purpose in making these kids suffer longer without drinking water and food when families who can provide for their every need wait for them here.
Bryon in Michigan writes:
It is time to help the children of Haiti, they already have their Visas in hand and need our help to tell the State Department it is the best decision to bring them to the States and be with their families. Please there are many adopted families here waiting for the children and they have been waiting years, this is the opportunity to bring them to their loved ones to be taken care of and nurtured after this horrible tragedy.

Please, please! Our children we are adopting in Haiti are ready to go! Please give your permission to let them go. It's ridiculous that our own government would be holding up getting them to safety!

Joy B. in Canada writes:
A Green Haiti
My name is Joy B. I am an American citizen living in Ontario, Canada. I will outline a simple two-part plan that re-vamps Haiti from the ground up and creates an economy for Haitians to build on.
The amount of money given to help Haiti's people is enough to rebuild the destroyed area and start anew. When money enters the equation and little oversight is given to the project the money slips thru the cracks. There is a simple way to prevent this from happening in Haiti. Plan first.
The plan should include two parts. First , the people who are suffering should be fed and sheltered away from the activities of the rebuilding. This humane effort should include health care, immunizations, grief counselors, child advocates, etc.Churches can be a help. Volunteers from around the world should start the education process even in this make shift state. Help the people to look forward.
Second the rebuilding efforts should start from the ground up. Infrastructure in Haiti is all but gone. Don't try to fix the broken pieces. Start fresh with new insight into green living. Why can't those in the green field use this fresh thinking to make a new green city. Why not use solar power, water saving innovations, along side other green projects. Recycled materials that would be bulldozed from the earthquake's rubble onto a site could make building materials for roads and building blocks ( if there is not an humanitarian reason not to) . Some serious problems are expected when the rainy season starts. Let's address this problem by calling for the help of experts in the correction of erosion before it happens. What trees would grow in Haiti, what fruit? Trees stop erosion fruit is a crop. (That of course is just an example of how to fix two problems at once it may not fit the bill.)"Take a good look at Cuba's organic, urban farming practices". Hire Haitians to do the labor. While we are at it let experts start new industries through out Haiti always under the same regulations as in the rebuilding. Train the people to work and run these ventures. Design this new city to be a travel destination so that when the project is complete the economy won't stop. Bring ideas, give grants to the people , create industry, create jobs, create prosperity. Regulations could insure that the outside world does not come to town, make all the money and take that money home to their respective countries leaving Haiti impoverished. For every outside contractor who brings a crew at least half of these workers must be Haitians currently living in Haiti. A number of these workers must be apprenticed and not just physical labor. Small companies could be started by outsiders who will benefit for a period of time 2-3 years then be turned over to the Haitian co-owners who have learned how to run it during this time. This will insure a new economy for Haiti and will leave the country with some skilled workers. There is so much work to be done in Haiti and there are plenty of Haitians who need work.
Jesse Jackson said that it would only work if all the money was placed in an account and under strict supervised allocation. There must be oversight. Let's plan to make Haiti a success. No one plans to fail but if we don't plan Hatti's future we will fail.
It was just announced that the government of Haiti has ask former President Bill Clinton to over-see the entire project. Mr. Clinton, I think this is a wonderful idea. I am not aligned with your party. I am more independent with conservative views. That being said, I have seen your ability to get things done, to plan and execute. You are trustworthy in your actions. You are great at getting people to act on their convictions. The Haitian government could not have chosen a better candidate for the job at hand.
Mr. Clinton, I do not have any other interest in Haiti than human sensitivity. Why not bring the Haitians out of poverty and a denial to the most basic needs and show the world how to make silk from worms. This is a chance to enlist those who honestly think green living is the way of the future to showcase their views by turning Haiti into a green, renewable city. Now is the time to implement this idea, while the new infrastructure is being developed. "Come together green developers and do instead of talk. The whole world will be watching.†Green city, green houses, low water and power usage, new industry, agriculture to solve erosion problems, economy.
Enlist the Haitian people to do the labor. Pay them for their labor. This in itself will spawn economy.
Mr. Clinton, These people are no different than any other culture. They don't want hand outs, they want a chance to live a good life. They are not afraid of hard work. It is harder to watch your people die of starvation than pick up a hammer and work.

I am thrilled and impressed by the work of Mr. and Mrs. Clinton. I know that we all ache for the children and their families in Haiti. In an effort to pull alongside my own colleagues, I have been collaborating with an online educator's group of the Carribean.
As yet, I have not found a way to provide verbal-oral/ textual-online support to our colleagues who have been as devasted as anyone. We have the tools here. I am seeking a way to confront this need and a way to capitalize on the willingness of colleagues to reach out. Without a route of access I am afraid we will not be able to capitalize on the peer to peer support that can be provided.
As a school psychologist, I know that a good listener is needed to reduce the complex issues of PTSD. The teachers are the children's best ally outside the family. We need to capitalize on the support available and make each person who can help available even if it is at a distance.
Please assist me in locating a Haitian route for the support that is needed.

LOL ... 800 stream processors for ATi are not their terminology it's consumers reality in last 14 month. And some fast food journalist that writes hardware news for the last 10 years should know better.
William Dally, chief scientist of Nvidia Corp., said at the Design Automation Conference that in order to continue rapid evolution of graphics processing units (GPUs), Nvidia and other designers will need new electronic design automation (EDA) tools to optimize power consumption and improve design efficiency. He also made several predictions regarding the future of GPUs.
"Chip designers will need tool and techniques to optimize power, interconnect and locality. We are really looking to EDA to give us power tools. I want high-level tools that allow you to gain insights into power architectures very early in design," Bill Dally said, reports EETimes web-site.
More advanced tools are required to enable power exploration and analysis at the architectural levels. Interconnect is a dominant factor in power consumption, Mr. Dally indicated. To succeed further, the semiconductor industry needs computer aided design (CAD) tools that capture high-level design and intent, as well as new architectures and compilation to expose locality.
Mr. Dally refers to graphics processing units as "throughput processors" and claims that they will continue to evolve rather rapidly in the following years. Mr. Dally predicts that in 2015 graphics chips will have 5000 stream processing engines, will have about 20TFLOPs of computing power and will be made using 11nm fabrication process.
"In 2015, the 11nm-generation will have 5,000 floating point arithmetic cores, a performance of 20TFLOPS per chip with an operating frequency of 3GHz, and a memory bandwidth of 1.2TB/s," said Mr. Dally according to a report from Nikkei.
The GeForce GTX 285 (G200b) – the current flagship GPU from Nvidia – has 240 stream processors, whereas ATI's most powerful Radeon HD 4890 chip (RV790) features 160 5-way SIMD units, or 800 stream processors in ATI's terminology.
According to Nvidia's chief scientist, advanced EDA tools can enable performance leaps greater than those enabled by Moore's Law.
