New Zealand squandered first dibs on the best batting block in the country today; England weren't about to follow suit and so the ODI series goes to a decider at Eden Park on Saturday.
Chasing an insufficient 269, England got the job done for the loss of two wickets with 14 balls to spare.
Once England's openers Alastair Cook and Ian Bell got into their work, followed by half centuries from Jonathan Trott and the mightily impressive Joe Root, the tourists were always on track to draw level in the ANZ international series.
However the most significant event of the day, to home eyes anyway, happened in the first half of the match.
It's been a while since a New Zealand partnership has been so loaded with symbolism as that which underpinned their innings tonight.
Captain Brendon McCullum and the man he replaced, Ross Taylor, shared a rollicking 100-run stand in just 53 balls for the fifth wicket.
McCullum's 74 from 36 deliveries did the bulk of the damage, but Taylor stayed on to complete an emotional return to form with his seventh ODI ton. Their good work was badly let down as the last six wickets fell for just 26 runs in 25 balls.
Considering all the assumptions that things can't possibly be good between Taylor and McCullum after the shambolic handling of the captaincy change - a point both have repeatedly denied - their rapport was under some scrutiny.
They pushed the singles hard, chivvied ones into twos, encouraged each other and, once he had his eye in, McCullum simply took off.
He clobbered four sixes to go with nine boundaries. His most remarkable shot, a six over long on off spin bowler Graeme Swann, was completed as he slipped over.
Going into the final 10 overs, New Zealand were 166 for four. The next three overs produced 58 as McCullum became a blur of hitting.
He was comfortably on course to eclipse New Zealand's fastest ODI 100 - 67 balls by Craig McMillan against Australia in Hamilton in 2007 - when he holed out to long on, departing to a standing ovation.
Taylor hurried across to give him a personal 'well done mate' on his way off.
It continued a run of rattling form for McCullum, who has made 253 runs off 160 balls in five limited-overs innings against England in the last 12 days.
By contrast, Taylor has been slow to get his international career going again after taking a break after losing the leadership.
Today Taylor took 10 balls to get off the mark, steadily worked himself into some touch, but having got to 50 in 81 balls slammed Stuart Broad into the crowd at mid wicket.
The second 50 took 35 balls, followed by a raising of the arms and salute to a rapturous crowd.
He was out moments later - 117 balls, nine fours and that six, over 181 minutes - after an innings full of importance, not only personally but with the first test in Dunedin in mind.
England's new ball men, Jimmy Anderson and Steve Finn, were bang on the job early on, Anderson eventually rewarded with five wickets.
The internationals have gone turnabout win-loss through the first five games. Solely on that basis, it should be New Zealand's turn on Saturday.

Part III (9:14)
Brandan Wright's Opening Statement:
After a lot of consideration and weighing my options, I've decided to enter the 2007 NBA Draft. The reason why I came to Carolina was to get an excellent education along with the great athletic program and I do intend to come back and earn my degree. I'm giving up my academic eligibility but not my academic career. ... I think I really fit the system well [at UNC] and I'd like to credit my teammates and the coaching staff for how I played this year. [Playing here] was great for me because it's more of a pro style type game and it'll real help benefit me playing at the next level. And I'd like to credit my teammates and coaches for the way they helped me out this year.
Roy Williams' Opening Statement:
I visited with several NBA teams and came up with the scenario of where we thought Brandan would be drafted and gave him the salary scale for each of those positions -- and then stepped back and told him we'd support him in anything he did. I think bottom line it came down to being able to take care of his family financially that he is not able to do at this time. ...
Wright: Like coach said, I was definitely torn in my decision and focused on the positives and the negatives -- and I felt the positives outweighed to the negatives, especially when it comes to taking care of your family especially at a young age like this is hard to pass up.
Coach Williams, where do you think Wright will be drafted?
Williams: I think he's definitely a top ten pick. I think he'll definitely be a top three-, four- or five-pick in the draft. I don't think there is any way you can bypass him until six or seven.
What is the hardest part about leaving UNC?
Wright: The hardest thing for me is leaving my teammates, knowing we had a great season this year, and those guys are going to have a great season next year. Just leaving those guys, that's the hardest thing.
On his mother's influence on his decision -
Wright: Honestly, she had no opinion at all. She totally left the decision up to me. She didn't push me to leave or stay or anything like that. My family didn't do anything like that either. Like coach, he pretty much put it on my shoulders, and I had to make a decision and a tough decision at that.
Williams: Brandan gave me a great compliment because he said she was saying the same things I was telling him to do. So I took that as a great compliment.
On hiring an agent -
Wright: Not currently; I don't plan on hiring an agent. I'm going to meet with a few agents to get some information, but an agent is really no good to me right now.
Williams: I think the decision is 99.99 (percent) that this is what he's going to do. It's not that he's trying to get more research or anything like that. The nature of the business now is underclassmen cannot go and do individual workouts, which they've been able to do in the past. We are going to talk to some agents to get some more information. But he's not rushing out the door to sign with an agent to get a new moped.
Which was tougher, deciding to go to UNC or deciding to leave?
Wright: Definitely leaving. Coming is a celebration and so is leaving. I'm leaving a lot of people behind.
Is the change of the NBA rules structure changed the way you talk to athletes about this decision?
Williams: It's definitely changed over the years, because they've changed the rules several times. But let's get something straight, the NBA is not our partner. They can act like it is all they want to, but they view college basketball as competition. Every rule they make is best for them. They don't make rules for the good of the kid -- I mean give me a break. The rule that they changed where everybody goes to college for one year...that enables them to evaluate Brandan Wright against great competition. So they'll make better evaluations. They don't have to evaluate Brandan Wright playing against five 5-11 guys surrounding him in the post like he had to a couple of games in high school. When they made those evaluations in the past, they could make some decisions that weren't the best in the world. It would have been a better scenario for the kids to go (to college) for two or three years, because the only negative is maturing, getting physically stronger and building his body up, which you can do in college. But the NBA drafts on potential. Every rule they make is best for the NBA -- let's make sure we understand that. It does change us; I've got several players I've talked to about it this year about going to the NBA. Bottom line it comes down to financial issues. I've never had a player tell me they like the NBA better than college except on the first and the fifteenth. That's the only way. I'll bet after a year, Brandan Wright will come back and say, 'Wow, it wasn't as much fun as playing in college.'
On what he brings to the NBA -
Wright: Personally, I feel like I can come into a team and do a lot of good things. I can offer a team a different dimension that they didn't have a year before. I'm going to work hard this offseason to get ready for the rigors of an 82-game season. I'm just going to get ready for the physical game. I feel like I'll be ready next year, and it will be fine.

According to Brendan Savage of Mlive.com who cites a team source, the Detroit Red Wings are discussing a trade with the Calgary Flames that would send veteran defenseman Jay Boumeester to the Motor City. Boumeester has been the source of trade rumors for some time now after he became expendable when the Flames signed Dennis Wideman to a five-year, $26.25 million deal. Ideally Calgary would probably like to keep both defensemen since their current payroll of $66.6 million is still under the $70.2 million dollar cap however the ongoing CBA negotiations could lower the cap putting the Flames in the red. The Wings essentially became interested in a deal for Boumeester when a relatively thin market of blue liners surfaced after prized d-man Ryan Suter signed with the Minnesota Wild. This is also not mentioning the retirement of captain Nicklas Lidstrom and the departure of Brad Stuart via free agency which left the Wings with only six NHL ready defensemen (Nicklas Kronwall, Jakub Kindl, ...

Hey fellas, it's extremely dark in my shower. Especially when it's dark outside. Bathroom lighting is very poor.
In attached pic you can see there's a junction box approx 12" away from shower wall. This light is providing no light what so ever in shower. I cannot find a light that will work. Would like attach light to run whole length of glass with 4 or 5 spot lights. I would need the track to have its electrical connections on end so it will run length of shower. Are these customizable? Add how ever many lights to a track? All the ones I found with lights on them are either too short or do not have the electrical hookup at end of track, most electrical point is in center of light fixture. Thanks

(with gasketed lens).
What is above the shower? Ideally it's open attic space.
If so... you're golden.
If not... you'll have more mess to clean up getting power where you need it.
Yes it's open attic space above. That was another thought adding 2 pot lights above that's made for damp location. Not sure where I would run switch though. As seen in pic there is a double gang just outside of shower door. One light for walk in closet and one for pot lights above jacuzzi. Not sure how those switches passed code being there. As I can easily reach them while in shower. Not sure if that's on a GFI circuit or not. This house was built 2 years ago. Can I jumper power off the hot side of one of those switches to feed new switch? Making it a triple gang jb? Then I can fish wires up into attic?
1 Attachment(s)
Those switches in first pic right by shower is on a regular 15amp circuit. As seen in this pic, breaker #30.
Attachment 65987
It looks like the OP is in Canada, and answer based on the NEC may not be correct.
In the US those switches are fine. Not sure why you think it's an automatic problem.
Yes I'm in Canada. Just thought if your in water you shouldn't be able to reach a power source that is NOT gfi
Ok, so switching it out to a triple gang, jumping power from one of the 2 to the new switch is fine? Then gonna run 2 recessed lights above shower. Assuming the load is good for the 15amp circuit. I'm gonna run all this by an electrician I work with.
Sounds too easy of a job if that's the case. Gonna do same above bath tub in other upstairs bath.

His timing couldn't have been worse. Just as I approached the white, stationary van ahead of me on Brixton Road on my motorcycle, its driver executed a sudden, unsignalled U-turn. Right across my bows.
A sixth sense told me he might and I was on the brakes; he even waved an apology. But why didn't he see me?
Provisional Government figures show an eight per cent rise in motorcyclists killed or seriously injured in spring this year, compared to spring in 2012. The statistics were aired on Monday at a London road safety conference organised by the Motorcycle Industry Association (MCI) and the Association of Chief Police Officers, in partnership with the Department for Transport.
AA president Edmund King revealed in-house research confirming what many feared; 57 per cent of drivers admit being surprised when a bike "appears from nowhere".
Worryingly, London is where the greatest percentage of drivers (60 per cent) are surprised, although if they concentrated more they wouldn't be.
Good news was that 92 per cent of AA members said they always give riders more space, and 88 per cent said they "always look out" for them. But 85 per cent said bikers were sometimes "hard to see", which is why experienced riders attempt to position themselves on the road where they can best be seen.
"We have heard much about improving the safety of cyclists, yet motorcyclists appear the forgotten cousins," says King. "Motorbikes and scooters can play a vital role in reducing congestion. We need a step change in attitudes to provide a positive role for powered two-wheelers."
The MCI had an interesting take. Pinching a line from campaigning cyclists who have long argued that by reaching a certain "critical mass", bicycle riders would be safer (although tragically, it's been an awful week for cyclists in London with a spate of fatal accidents), the MCI wants a similar safety in numbers approach for its members, too.
A section of the MCI's presentation, entitled Volume Breeds Relative Safety, highlighted the fact that the UK has the lowest ownership of powered two wheelers (PTW) in Europe but proportionately one of the highest rates of accidents.
In contrast, the Netherlands has three times the number of PTWs per head of population, but riders there are five times less likely to be killed than their UK counterparts.
Ten per cent is a "critical tipping point," says Jacques Compagne, Association of European Motorcycle Manufacturers secretary general. He said that when at least 10 per cent of traffic is PTWs, safety outcomes for riders improve considerably.
What is TfL doing?
Transport for London supports scooter-safe and bike-safe rider assessment days and is running a large motorcycle safety marketing campaign. It is also developing a Motorcycle Safety Action Plan.
Since January 2012, motorcycles have been able to ride in bus lanes on most Red Routes, putting riders in a safer position on the road.
Other actions include a recent motorcycle safety awareness campaign urging riders to consider how fast they ride. This needs to be balanced with the other side of the campaign which reminds car drivers to aware of motorcyclists, says TfL.

mission: INCREASING GREEN COVER
Forest Management requires new policies and approaches. The policies should be ecologically sustainable, socially acceptable and economically feasible. The forestry sector is facing new challenges due to the increased role and the sector plays to boost the peasant income, enhances food security and reduces poverty. Pressures on forests have to be stalled, degradation checked, sustainable development promoted through prudent policy actions, which can bring about stronger rural development of forest fringe inhabitants and the tribals. The basic thrust of the proposed Forest Policy of the State for 2006-07 is directed towards environmental conservation, ecological stabilisation, robust development of the local people in and around forest fringe areas. The Joint Forest Management approach (JFM) fosters the positive relationship between the forest department and village communities. The Village Forest Committees (VFCs) protect and manage the forests and in turn share the usufructuary benefits from the forests. The empowerment of village communities as a source of local self governance in planning, management and development of forests has given new directions to the forest resource management in the State.

Uncapped Business Data Only
These data packages are for ADSL, VDSL and Fibre usage
Why choose capped before uncapped? - The trend is to choose uncapped on the basis of "I can use as much data as I need". However many users seldom get to use more than a 100 Gigs, for example at a price of R129/m, as opposed to uncapped data which becomes increasingly more expensive as your line speed increases. The beauty of capped data is that it will perform at the same speed as your line, regardless of which line you have, without any changes to the price. In layman's terms: "There are no restrictions on capped data" other than the size of the package you have chosen.
Business uncapped services is recommended for Mailing - Browsing - Social media - Streaming - NNTP - Peer-to-peer - Torrents (and similar but not limited to)
ADSL is short for Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, ADSL is a type of DSL connection that utilizes the frequencies on regular copper phone lines that aren't taken up by voice calls. The advantage of this kind of connection is that it doesn't require any special lines to be installed, so it's less expensive and more available than other forms of broadband. With ADSL, you can get up to 24 Mbps download speed, but upload speeds are much more limited. Both speeds are affected by the condition of the wires, the distance between your home and the provider's location and any noise or interference on the line. Living "upstream" from your Internet provider is likely going to mean you get inferior service to those who live "downstream," hence why this connection is known as asymmetrical
VDSL - Very-high-bitrate Digital Subscriber Line service is closer to cable Internet in speed and behavior than ADSL. It can be up to five times faster for downloads and ten times faster for uploads. Maximum upload speeds hover around 60 Mbps if you live close to the provider, and the signal is just as strong upstream as it is downstream. VDSL accomplishes this with more efficient use of phone lines achieved through a configuration that effectively shortens the distance that the signal has to travel. Shorter distances means less degradation and a more reliable connection. A higher amount of available bandwidth delivers better overall performance than ADSL can offer. However, distance and wire condition can still affect VDSL
FIBRE - Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB), also known as fibre Internet, is popping up in many places and drawing attention with its promise of the potential for as much as 1 Gbps for both uploads and downloads. Although speeds around 300 Mbps are more common, UFB still has a lot of potential for households and businesses that require superior Internet performance. UFB bypasses phone lines and uses smaller, lighter fiber optic cables with glass conductors. These conductors transmit light signals rather than electricity, so they aren't subject to interference from electrical wires or damage from lightning strikes. This results in one of the clearest, most consistent broadband connections you can get. If you can find a provider in your area, however, the speed and reliability of a fibre connection makes it perfect for users that transmit high amounts of data, especially digital media, on a regular basis. Unlike DSL connections, you get the same level of performance regardless of location
There is no prorata invoice for uncapped accounts. The full amount will be charged from any day of the month when the service is activated.
Payments by Credit Card, EFT, Instant EFT, Stop Order, Direct Deposit or Debit Order.
A full calendar month is needed for the cancellation of this service.

As accessories director at Neiman Marcus, Ana Maria Pimentel is no stranger to trying out new vendors and trends because they become viral in the streets. Summer is here, yet pre-fall arrivals are all over our floors, so who better to make a smart and very stylish edit of how to wear the newest silhouettes and accessories than Pimentel herself? Our New York-based director swears by a walking mandal, a city sandal and a statement high-heeled sandal to switch a white-with-black look from day to night. At the same time, she loves a minimal, utilitarian bag for the busy city girl. We can all relate to that!

This post is inspired by B's co-op preschool teacher who put out Mr. Potato Head pieces at the play dough table. When B's preschool teacher said that her high school-aged children still played blocks and play dough with her elementary-aged child, I immediately went out and purchased blocks and learned to make play dough. B loves to create "creatures" out of these materials and I do too! All you need is a ball of play dough (purchased or made) and a Mr. Potato Head.
B likes to empty the potato of all its pieces before starting his work. Depending on your child, you can take the plastic potato away or leave it out. I take it away because B likes to store play dough inside.
Ultimately this becomes a game of smash the creature or "where's the nose?" where he hides pieces in the dough and finds them.

Game Plan Japan News Report 05.16.12
Konnichiwa and welcome to another Game Plan Japan! Every week I will be bringing you the top stories about games from a small country named Japan. Some games I report on you will know of. Other games you will never have heard of and will never make it stateside.
Today, I will be leaving for Tokyo, Japan for 3 weeks! As I write this, I am still not packed plus I still need to go shopping for several more things. When it comes to last minute packing, I'm second to none. Not looking forward to the flight though.
E3 updates: I am confirmed for 2 of the Big 3 press conference – Microsoft and Nintendo. Sony's invite is on the way. I will be at Electronic Arts' press conference for sure and Ubisoft most likely once I receive my invite. As for new appointments from last week, I have added Activision and Bethesda with Tecmo Koei's Dead or Alive 5 appointment in the process of scheduling!
Keiji Inafune's New PS Vita Game Soul Sacrifice Revealed
Keiji Inafune, the man behind Megaman, Onimusha, and Dead Rising, has created an entirely new game for PS Vita named Soul Sacrifice. This is the PS Vita game that he teased a few months back during the Game Developers Conference. For a quick look at the game, check out the trailer below!
Your character in Soul Sacrifice is a slave of a cruel magician and is about to be sacrificed when a strange "Golam Book" appears. The "Golam Book" in reality is a monster who grants your character the ability to play battles of the past depicted in its book. These past battles are Soul Sacrifice's quests and are fought between monsters and magicians. It takes a Fullmetal Alchemist approach to the magic system by requiring equivalent exchange. Thus, objects must be sacrificed to conjure magic and even body parts must be given up for more powerful spells. Objects in the environment such as rocks, trees, and more can be sacrificed even. Your character will face death if he cannot provide adequate sacrifice for magic. Use the a lot of powerful magic too quickly, your character will lose his human form. Eventually, once you use a lot of powerful magic, your character becomes a monster himself.
You won't have to face quests along since Soul Sacrifice will support four player co-op. Not only does this graphically look like it is shaping up to be a great game, the story and gameplay sound very intriguing. I wonder if the stories of the past that you play through will eventually have a major connection to your character's own history.
What I really want to see if a lot of creativity and variety in what you can use in your variety as magic sacrifices. It opens up some open-world exploration possibilities to drive players to seek out new objects. In addition to co-op, if objects will be stored in an inventory, having a trading feature may further encourage multiplayer. Soul Sacrifice should be a great action game for PS Vita.

New Tales Game on the Way From Namco Bandai
A new Tales game is coming from Namco Bandai according to a teaser in the most recent issue of Jump magazine in Japan. No release date, price, full title, or platform has been announced. Only certain thing is that it will be an RPG. No surprise there, but at least you can take a sigh of relief that it isn't a Tales third-person shooter or any other nonsense.

Another New Tales Game Announced and is Heading to Android
Unrelated to the above news for a new main Tales game, a different new Tales game titled Tales of the World: Tactics Union is heading to Android! As its name suggests, this game will be a strategy RPG, different than previous Tales games. Plus, your party will consist of characters from previous games in the series! So far, the confirmed characters are Lloyd Irving (Tales of Symphonia), Norma Beatty (Tales of Legendia), Guy Cecil (Tales of the Abyss), Natalia L.K. Lanvaldear ()Tales of the Abyss), Rubia Natwick (Tales of Tempest), Flynn Scifo (Tales of Vesperia), Sophie (Tales of Graces), and Asbel Lhant (Tales of Graces). Two new characters have been created for Tales of the World: Tactics Union as mascots: star-shaped Terun and moon-shaped Nahato (pictured below).
While the game itself is free, be prepared to shell out a monthly fee of 390 yen (about $5) for the Android service KDDI's Smart Pass AU Program required to own the game. Furthermore, there will be microtransactions for featured items. Namco Bandai wants your money!

[email protected], Hatsune Miku, Monster Hunter, & Doraemon To Be In New Taiko Drum Master
As a marketing major, you learn about cross-promoting and creating synergy. Namco Bandai is doing exactly those things in their new Taiko Drum Master game for the Nintendo 3DS. Popular idol manager simulator [email protected] is not a surprising franchise to appear since it is Namco Bandai's franchise. [email protected] songs and other content have appeared in other Namco Bandai games such as Ace Combat, Ridge Racer, and Happy Dance Collection.
The other franchises making guest appearances are outside of Namco Bandai: popular virtual idol Hatsune Miku with her Vocaloid friends (Sega), Monster Hunter (Capcom) and the long-time running, classic Japanese cartoon Doraemon. Not only will characters from all four of these franchises be featured, but naturally songs from each of them. Sounds like a lot of fun and surely will entice Japanese gamers!

Usagi Drop To Touch My Katamari With Latest DLC
The upcoming fourth DLC pack for PS Vita game Touch My Katamari will feature the two main characters, Rin and Daikichi, from the hit anime and manga Usagi Drop. The Loose Collaboration Project DLC pack will be released in Japan on May 24 and features a new extra mission in a festival for Katamari fans. I guess Rin and/or Daikichi like Katamari!
For those unfamiliar, Usagi Drop (Bunny Drop translated) is a manga by Yumi Unita about a 30 year old salary man named Daikichi who takes in his grandfather's illegitimate child, a little girl named Rin, after his grandfather passes away. It was skillfully adapted into an anime by Production IG (Ghost in the Shell, Eden of the East) last year. It's an amazing show that is a lot more tasteful, touching, and heartwarming than a lot of anime today, which probably why it was one of the best anime series of 2011. Definitely a show worth checking out and I think even people who don't usually watch anime would like it. I absolutely adore it! Usagi Drop is streaming for free on Crunchyroll and NIS America will be releasing the whole series as a Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack on August 7th.

Kotomon iOS Game Available Now and Produced by Rez, Lumines, and Child of Eden Veterans
"Dancing! Monsters! Shooting! Action!" That's the catch phrase of Kotomon (iOS) the first game by Monstars Inc. There is quite a pedigree behind Kotomon's development. The studio founder Osamu Kodera worked on the boss fights of Rez and served as the main director of Child of Eden and is the planner and programmer of Kotomon. Two other Child of Eden veterans worked on the game: producer Sawako Yamamoto (producer of Child of Eden) and director Eiichiro Ishige (game design director on Child of Eden).
In Kotomon, the player moves the Kotomon character with his finger. The gameplay features capturing monsters to shoot at enemies. Monsters have different abilities that range from pinball like movement to fire-breathing or impact detonation. And of course this wouldn't be a game from people who worked on Rez and Child of Eden without music! Various gameplay actions will add beats and rhythm to the in-game music. If you're interested, Kotomon is available on iTunes ¥350 yen or $2.99.

This Week's New Releases
Atlus needs to just give us Persona 5 already! In the meantime, this week sees the release of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment for PSP and later this summer will be Persona 4 Golden. This game is an enhanced remake of the original PlayStation game which was the second and last game in the Persona 2 story. Remake? Doesn't matter – Persona is a strong enough brand. There are probably plenty of people who didn't play it and who have PSPs. That's why Persona 2: Eternal Punishment for PSP is my choice for most anticipated release this week.
This is another big game release in Japan this week, based on the popular light novel and anime series Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawai Wake ga Nai ("My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute") or Oreimo for short. Ore no Imouto ga Konna ni Kawai Wake ga Nai Portable ga Tsuzuku Wake ga Nai ("My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute Can't Be Continuing") is a sequel to the previous PSP game. The Oreimo anime is streaming for free on Crackle and Crunchyroll.
Other games out this week: Bunmei Kaika Aoiza Ibunroku Saien

Missing Red Tardis found
08/10/2012 , 10:32 AM by Karen Shrosbery
The Red Tardis chain was nearly broken today.
So far the phone has been handed to over ninety people on ninety consecutive breakfast shows.
But this morning at 620am the Red Tardis did not answer.
Jeremy, though, sprung into action after this mornings chosen one didn't answer - barefoot he took to the beach to find a back-up.
Two minutes before the end of the show at 7.43am he found Josephine and the Tardis lives on.
So the 100th Red Tardis party next week is still on!

Selling Bike Commuting in Houston
As Houston city officials look at ways to relieve congestion on the freeways, they're encouraged by figures from the League of American Biyclists showing a 62 percent jump in the number of bike commuters. The idea of cycling to work isn't always an easy sell in a city known for its car culture and extreme summertime heat, but City of Houston Bicyclist-Pedestrian Coordinator Dan Raine is touting the benefits of leaving your motor vehicle at home -- or getting rid of it altogether.
Houston currently has around 460 miles of bikeways covering a huge geographic area (around 500 square miles). Bikeways include designated lanes on city streets, as well as popular bike trails that meander along waterways and pass through shady parks. Other trails run along rail beds and through historic neighborhoods. Cyclists can also make part of their trip by bus, attaching their bike to a rack on the front grill. If it's a large park-and-ride bus they can stow their bike in the luggage compartment.
But Raine says it takes more than just new bikeways to encourage Houstonians to cycle to work. There are practical concerns, especially on triple-digit days when a cycling commuter may have a big meeting scheduled with clients. Raine encourages local businesses to provide a place where cycling commuters can freshen up before hitting the conference room. He says some progressive-minded companies are providing showers for workers as part of a commitment to going green.
Raine says commuting by bike means families can get rid of their extra car and the expenses that go along with it. There are fitness benefits, too. In a city also known for its freeway fast food joints, cycling is one way you can work off stress after a tough day at the office and burn some calories in the process.
"I've known some people that actually ended up selling their cars and going to a one-car family," he said. "People lose weight. They find that they just have a little less stress in their life, because they're able to get out there and get the exercise that they need."
There's also the issue of bike security. Raine says businesses can encourage bike commuting by allowing employees to bring their bikes inside, or by providing a secure parking area outside for both workers and customers. He says if there are "honest eyes" keeping watch on the bikes in a well-trafficked area, people will feel more comfortable about cycling for work and errands.

Flowing the News
Have students take notes on the evening news (television or radio) just as they would flow a debate. Each story is noted as a new numbered argument. The student tries to write down:
1. a title for the story (U.S.A. finally pays its UN dues)
2. Some salient facts about the story ($6.5 billion was owed) and
3. Any people who were quoted in the story (Madeline Albright).
This simple exercise provide very realistic practice on a daily basis, and the current events which the student learns will be quite useful in debates as well.

Oooh Lainy, I will try the Carnation suggestion... See!! I benefit too! Thanks!
I love that the moderators of this sight are so quick to respond and offer their knowledge, expertise and experience!!! Thank you!!!
Hi Gornalgal,
I am sorry you feel so alone! I have often felt that way too...it makes it more difficult! When you are doing your research I think you will see in your research that the most pressing issue right now is to gain weight. Perhaps you can enlist the aid of the advocates at the hospital for direction and insider tips on nutrition, or the nurses, the AMA, etc... There really are people in the system who are there to guide you. Though this will appear as If I am making light, I am really not, I discovered that Oreo Cookie Blizzards and cheesecake helped me gain weight... Just keep looking for anything... Dont worry about a balanced diet. If he is able to start gaining weight he will start craving more.food. My heart aches for you both! I am 5'5 and had gotten down to just over 100 lbs.. I am much stronger now after my desserts at 117.5 lbs. It makes a huge difference in attitude, determination and strength to keep fighting!! Keep trying! Take good csre of yourself right now, you are loved and needed by your family! ; )
I was diagnosed with intrahepatic as well. I was stage 4 at diagnosis and the tumor had become massive and involved most of my liver. Resection was not possible. A stent was put in and this helped relieve some symptoms including pain. I have a wonderful surgical oncologist and oncology team at OHSU in Portland, Oregon. I am just a few days from completing palliative radiation. I have already gone through 8 weeks of chemo. More chemo is scheduled. Maintaining your healthiest weight possible is critical. I hope the best for all of you!!
I have strolled my way through this site a number of times but have only recently felt well enough, after attempted resection, chemo and radiation, to write. I am glad that so many are working to raise awareness on this "very resistent to treatment" cancer. Thank you for working on this! I join you now in this fight to get noticed, the fight for research!

SilverStone FP53 HDD Cooler
While trying to think up ways to keep your computer cool, hard drives are sometimes overlooked entirely, but it shouldn't be. We are taking a look at the Silverstone FP53 HDD cooler. Let's take a look to see if it makes any substantial difference to the temps!
After reading the review here, feel free to discuss it here! Questions and comments are welcomed!
Definatly important!
My stock HD was called a Fireball ????? and it was properly named so. COme to find out when I replaced it it had been recalled for a tendancy of over heating and literally smoking from a slight electrical fire... (luckily i never had that problem)
Cooling your HD can be very important.
Reupload your avatar :P
Well, in that case, the HDD's were faulty to begin with. Even an HDD cooler may have not helped that. But for the most part.. the cooler the components are.. they better they run.
Fireballs were horrible.. I had one of those die on me 3 months after I bought it.
I dont have a copy of the avatar on the computer I've been using but when i get back to school it's near the top of my todo list.
Mine always ran fine one month out of the blue it seemed to want to create alot of errors on itself. Never heated up or died on me once...

Lawmakers discuss issues over breakfast
KINGSPORT, Tenn. - The 2014 Tennessee Regional Legislative Breakfast took place Friday morning at the Meadowview Marriot in Kingsport.
Lawmakers talked about ways to fight crime.
Lieutenant governor Ron Ramsey says gun control is a hot topic. "We passed a bill last year that allowed law-abiding citizens with gun carry permits to be able to keep their firearm in their car no matter where they work, even at work," he said. "The attorney general issued an opinion last year that [employers] could still fire you for having a firearm in your vehicle."
The lieutenant governor says he got another opinion that says Tennessee is an at-will state, and that measure goes against the Constitution.
They also talked about ways to fight the drug problem and the tax benefits of having wine for sale in grocery stores.
We'll have more about the meeting coming up online and on News 5 WCYB.

NZ First leader Winston Peters spoke candidly today about the state of the nation's news and political reporting to a Wintec media lunch in Hamilton that included journalism students, politicians and media personalities.
Mr Peters' wide-ranging talk included his thoughts on the John Banks saga, Rupert Murdoch's recent scandals, a disdain for political polls, and his own NZ First party.
Even guests were not immune to the politician's infamous jabs, with TV3's Patrick Gower singled out for not giving NZ First "adequate" coverage running up to the recent election.
However, Peters stressed his belief in the importance of good reporting.
"I happen to believe [journalism] is a very important profession."
He also described the growing importance of social media both in regards to how politicians now use them, and how media use (and occasionally misuse) them to gain story leads and information.
With typical good humour and stinging sarcasm, Mr Peters described New Zealand media in general as lazy in terms of gathering correct information.
"After all, why spoil a good story with the facts?"
Regardless of the criticism Peters was well received by the crowd, which largely consisted of media representatives as well as personalities such as Sir Colin Meads and Dame Margaret Wilson.
Guests laughed and bantered with the politician, and in a closing statement Peters made one concession:
"A lot of media people are good company."
Wintec editor in residence Steve Braunias, who organised the event, took the occasion to bring down the curtain on Media Bites, which he has renamed Wintec Press Club. Two more events will be held this year.

I always find surprising how Muslim groups will run into streets protesting what they term to be discrimination against their religion because someone madea video or someone drew some cartoons, but these same people never protest death of their fellow Muslims. No band of imams has taken to the streets in protest of the murder of over 30,000 Muslims while these same men go wild because of an "insult" to Muhammad. I am certain Muhammad would prefer Muslims fighting for the rights of Muslims than worrying about cartoons and videos.
The Rohingya Muslims of Myammar are considered by the UN to be among the most persecuted groups in the world. Burmese security forces refuse to allow these people to travel, restrict what they can do for a living and have stood idly by while mosques are burned and people murdered. Has anyone heard of a Muslim group anywhere in the world protesting about this persecution? Of course not, they are busy shouting about a cartoon!
Over 100,000 of these persecuted people are homeless. When will Muslims stand up for Muslims?

A good while back I thought Id make a copper carbonate salt wash to use for pit firing ware. Why I stuck rock salt in the glass I dont know. So Ive had this mason jar of water, copper carbonate, and undissolved rock salt. I havent had the time to be in my studio to do anything this entire year due to life issues. So this past month Ive been cleaning up the studio and trying to get it back into working order. I saw this jar of mix and was like hmmmm I wonder...and I threw it in my ball mill. I ran it over night and forgot to turn it off before I went to work. I come back that night to a spewing tumbler. Finally got to investigating it today and it was just a big brown mess with chunks of salt. I wasnt thinking about the whole friction creating heat aspect and turning my carbonate to an oxide.
Its a rusty brown color though and not black. Really Im just curious if this mess is still something usable? I mean it was just going to be scattered in the fire to begin with. Im guessing the salt corroded my bearings for my mill being there was the inclusion of water. So yeah still worth the use? I was also thinking Id dry the whole mess out then mill it again bone dry.
So I wasnt thinking...

Racing Exempt in Proposed Online Gambling Ban
Legislation has been introduced in Congress to amend the 1961 Federal Wire Act to ban all forms of interstate wagering except horse racing.
The bill, named the Restoration of America's Wire Act (H.R. 4301), was introduced by Congressman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC) (S. 2159). The legislation would amend the Federal Wire Act, the 1961 federal law that prohibits interstate wagering, to prohibit interstate Internet gaming.
The bill is a response to the Department of Justice's change in its previous interpretation of what the Wire Act prohibits, according to a memorandum from the American Horse Council.
Since 1961, the DOJ had maintained that the Wire Act banned the interstate transmission of all bets or wagers or information assisting in the placing of bets or wagers. In December 2011, the department issued a ruling that the Wire Act applied only to sports betting, not all wagering, the AHC said.
"That ruling effectively broadened what gambling could be offered to include all forms of gambling as long as it did not involve a sporting event or contest. Since then several states have legalized Internet wagering, including Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware, and others are considering it," according to the AHC.
The proposed legislation would outlaw Internet wagering on poker, casino games, lotteries, even in those states that have already legalized it. In effect, it would roll back the prohibitions of the Wire Act to where they were before the DOJ changed its position in December 2011.
"Indeed, it would be even more restrictive because at that time there were those who argued that the Wire Act did not apply to interstate wagering on any gambling except sports," the AHC said. "Such an argument could no longer be made if this bill is passed."
The bill would not change, limit or broaden the relationship between the Interstate Horseracing Act of 1978 and what is legal now would remain legal with respect to racing activities under the IHA.
Each bill was referred to the Judiciary Committee in their respective bodies.

Cyberbully Victim Awaits Ruling On Bid To Sue Anonymously
Children and their parents will find out Thursday whether their identities can be protected if they try to sue a cyberbully.
A 17-year-old high school student, identified in court documents as A.B., and her father are asking the Supreme Court of Canada to protect their identity in a court order that would force an internet company to reveal the identity of a cyberbully.
The Nova Scotia teenager was 15 when she discovered a fake Facebook page had been created using her own Facebook profile photo and a slightly differently spelled version of her name. The page contained defamatory material about her physical appearance and sexual practices.
Her father, interviewed by CBC a year and a half ago with his identity concealed, said, "She is a child, you know, crying, wondering why someone would do that. As far as she's concerned she has no enemies, she gets along with everybody. Who would be so rude, so cruel?"
The fake Facebook page was put up in March of 2010, and removed that same month. Facebook provided an IP address, and the teenager and her father applied to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court to force Eastlink, the telecommunications company, to disclose the identity of whoever created the page, so they could sue for defamation.
The judge granted the order, but the order was stayed until either A.B. and her father were willing to use their full names or the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal allowed them to use their initials only.
A.B. had also asked that the defamatory contents of the Facebook page be covered by a publication ban. The judge refused, saying that he found no evidence of emotional harm done to A.B. during the period the page was online.
The Nova Scotia Appeals Court denied both requests.
Protection from 'further harm'
Michelle Awad, A.B.'s lawyer, said the main principle in this case is that A.B. is a minor.
"We're trying to avoid further harm, further notoriety, and she's a vulnerable member of society, so we're attempting through this process to protect her."
Awad said that it's necessary to not only protect A.B.'s identity but also to impose a publication ban on the contents of the fake page, even though that page was available for anyone on the internet to read before it was taken down.
"If a number of people from her school, or wherever, read it in the first place and recognize it again, they're going to know who she is, and who knows how quickly that can spread."
Two media outlets, the Halifax Herald, publisher of the main newspaper in Nova Scotia, and Global Television opposed the publication ban, arguing freedom of the press.
Global Television eventually dropped out of the case and the Halifax Herald did not make any submissions to the Supreme Court of Canada.
A.B.'s lawyer says that the lower court judges failed to consider the special vulnerability of children and disregarded the obvious risk of harm to her if her identity is exposed.
Bullying Canada and Kids Help Phone are interveners in the case, on the side of A.B.
A.B.'s father told CBC that he's sold property to pay for legal fees, but he's promised his daughter he'll find out who created the Facebook page.
"We're not a wealthy family and she says, 'Dad, I don't want you to spend any more money.' I said, 'Well, don't you worry about the money. I want to protect you. I told you we'd find out who done it.'"
ALSO On Huffington Post Canada:
From an early age, we teach children to identify and organize objects: A is for apple, B is for ball and so it goes. And we should also teach them to identify their emotions: "You must be happy the sun is shining, we can go to the playground." Or, conversely, "Maybe you are disappointed it's raining and we can't visit the park." In this way, the dialogue begins, as does the ability to take another's perspective. Kids can only talk about their feelings if we give them the vocabulary; so show them how and give them permission to express them.
Parents sometimes don't give their sons the tools they need to properly express their feelings. Child psychologist Dan Kindlon, who co-authored Raising Cain: Protecting the Emotional Life of Boys, told us parents -- and society -- often protect boys from having to do the emotional work that will help them become whole people. He shared the story of a mother and daughter coming across a little boy crying in the park. When the daughter asks why the boy is crying, the mom helps her speculate. "Maybe he's lost." "Maybe he hurt himself." A mother with a son, however, may tell her son not to worry about the crying child. An encounter with a curt waiter at a restaurant might provide more food for thought: "Why do you suppose he's so angry?", parents could ask. Boys don't need special training, Kindlon says, they need opportunities to show off their natural capacity for caring for pets, siblings, grandparents, elderly neighbors and others in the neighbourhood.
Parents can also show their children how to express their feelings by doing it themselves. Start by sharing the highs and lows in your day. If you are facing a moral dilemma, talk about it with your kids. They don't need to know every detail to try to get the gist. If you make a mistake, apologize. Not only is it the right thing to do, but it shows kids how it's done. As Mary Gordon, the famed founder of Roots of Empathy, an award-winning organization that offers empathy-based programming for children in their classrooms, told us: attentive, loving and empathetic parents are the best role models for children. Gordon should know. Independent studies have shown her program's graduates are more socially sensitive, less aggressive and more likely to challenge injustice than other youngsters.
It's a question that's perfect for every occasion. Ask kids to put themselves in someone else's shoes -- happy or sad. From the playground to the grocery store to the living-room sofa, our day-to-days are filled with moments that could be considered from someone else's perspective. At the park, for example, a power struggle at the swing-set could evolve into a lesson in sharing and perspective taking: "How would you feel if you weren't allowed a turn?" A bedtime story or children's movie that ends happily-ever-after might merit a follow up: "What do you think you would have done in that situation?" It's a lesson some rather accomplished people have learned. In his video introduction at the Democratic Convention in August 2008, U.S. President Barack Obama spoke of the only time he saw his mother angry. It was upon witnessing an act of bullying on someone who appeared to be different. "She'd said to me, 'Imagine standing in that person's shoes. How would that make you feel?' That simple idea, I'm not sure I always understood it as a kid, but it stayed with me."

Another budget negotiation, another government shutdown? Maybe. Senate Democrats have threatened to oppose a spending extension until funding to addre...
As I write this, a protest is occurring on the floor of the House of Representatives. Democrats, led by John Lewis, Jim Clyburn, Nancy Pelosi (and many others), are staging a "sit-in" to protest Republicans' refusal to even hold a vote on any gun control legislation.
With the havoc that could be wreaked by the Zika virus, the right-wing feel they must "find" money in the budget to offset the research and development necessary to be ready for it. But, $25 billion to shut down the government? Not a problem.
We need leaders who do not fight with reckless abandon, but instead who are dignified and honorable, and who exemplify the grander vision of keeping us all together.
One may regret that the Supreme Court has become a politicized institution but such strategic calculations do not come out of nowhere -- they reflect the growing ideological divide nationwide.
By steadily consolidating Ultra Conservative Republican support, Cruz has created an illusion of momentum; but no one knows better than Cruz that he urgently needs to widen his base.
Little noticed in the deal that Congress approved Friday is the fact that the anti-abortion lobby got wiped out. The deal included no provisions cutting funding for Planned Parenthood -- an issue on which Republicans have been prepared to shut down the government in past budget fights. Nor did the anti-choice zealots have any success on their other proposed riders intended to reduce reproductive rights. There were proposed cuts in federal spending for sex education, family planning and Planned Parenthood. Same with efforts to further restrict abortion rights in the name of religious freedom, or international family planning, or attempts to block the government from requiring multi-state plans to include the full range of family planning services. What happened? First, the Democrats stood fast with reproductive rights groups.
Now that Congress has agreed to an overall budget for the next two years and raised the debt ceiling until 2017, and the U.S. House of Representatives has a new speaker in U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan, the early conventional wisdom is that Washington has finally and mercifully turned the corner on governing by crisis.
Represent our concerns rather than dictating them to us -- you work for us, not the other way around. Listen to our concerns rather than merely tolerating them -- if complaints are an inconvenience, you offered to serve in the wrong job.
Former President Bill Clinton and House Speaker Newt Gingrich called out today's would-be government shutdowners as a bunch of sissies. Reminiscing about the differences between the shutdown of 1995 and a potential one before the end of 2015, the two former leaders of their parties called out today's players.
If the debt ceiling causes a default or government shutdown and becomes a campaign issue in the 2016 election, there are some signs that the coin could be taken seriously by the Democratic front-runners for president.
In addition to the rejectionist, veto caucus, I will also call these guys the "white-washed caucus." As white-washed elected officials from white-washed districts, they want to keep America white, or white-controlled, for as long as they possibly can.
Boehner has already nominated himself as the Republican Party's sacrificial lamb. But on his way out, he could also be a very effective scapegoat, thus sparing both his party and the country at large a whole lot of needless drama and economic instability.
Journalists aren't reporting the seething anger of Colorado's Tea Party conservatives at their Republican leaders for allowing the federal government to continue operating or for generally caving on what they see as GOP principles.
Kevin McCarthy is not worthy. Of using the English language correctly, among other things. Amusingly, though, this will likely not stop him from becoming the next speaker of the House.


text:
To deal with modern public health concerns and the interests of physical environment, many local governments devise a comprehensive plan to address public health improvement. The purposes of the comprehensive plan are to integrate public health interests with local policy sectors as well as to seek developmental growth and environmental protection. While many local governments attempt to reconnect between the comprehensive plan and the goals of public health, not all local governments do provide a comprehensive plan for public health improvement.
This dissertation investigates four questions to explore the policy choice of comprehensive planning to explicitly address public health: (1) which local contextual factors affect the adoption of the comprehensive plan, (2) to the extent of the first question, which factors including urban politics and collaborative planning governance create the integrative set in order to incorporate public health in local policy sectors, (3) which health outcomes and factors associated with the existing population health status influence the adoption of the plan, and finally (4) to the extent of third question, what are the direct and indirect causalities among health factors, urban politics, and the adoption of the plan.
In terms of the above research questions, this dissertation highlights three theoretical perspectives. The first perspective is urban politics by which a political institution takes into account the mediating effect of institutions as a product of interactive processes among elected politicians, the community, and interest groups. It is more likely for the politics in healthy urban governance to be highlighted in terms of collective will and whether or not a political institution can pursue a majority rule. Second is the multidisciplinary policy action which encompasses the joint actions among inter-sectoral and inter-organizational collaboration. This perspective suggests that, rather than bureaucratic fragmentation, health policy oriented specialization and professionalization, the multilateral policy actions should be operated in light of collective will, shared norms, and agreements. Third is a place-based population health which views population health as differently shaped by existing physical, social, and environmental conditions. Moreover, this view concentrates on the presumption that the creation of efficient and effective interaction among people, environment, and economy comes first so as to increase high accessibility toward physical activities; so as to promote social inclusion; and so as to enhance social connectivity.
In five published data sources (i.e, 2011 survey of 'Comprehensive Planning For Public Health', U.S Census Bureau, National Population Health in Wisconsin Health Institute, Municipal Year Book), Heckman Selection Model and Path analysis are utilized as analytical methods. The empirical results explore whether urban politics, collaborative planning governance, and place-based population health influence the adoption of the comprehensive plan and the integrative sets of the plan.
The empirical evidence shows that the adoption and integrative set of the comprehensive plan for public health improvement are a product of the willingness of local politics which represent governmental responsibility and accountability; a product of inter-sectoral policy collaboration; a product of collective action between local planning agencies and health departments; a product of poorly-shaped community health status; and a result of the mediating role of political institutions with community health status.
This dissertation suggests that the combination of entire urban plan and the goals of public health is an aggregated preference of citizen, local politics, governing bodies, interest groups, and existing population health status, and physical environment. To achieve the comprehensive set of the urban plan, the local politics should have not only a strong willingness to commit but also a mediating role reflecting community-wide needs of population health. On the other hand, the administrative function of both planning and health agencies should create a collective will to reduce organizational and policy sectoral goal conflicts, resulting in multidisciplinary policy commitments and formulation of an integrative set of urban plan.
Lastly, this dissertation provides an agenda for future research. First, the effects of regional organizations and state governments can be expanded by the assumption that the benefits of physical environment cannot be isolated. Regional-wide organizations, as much as the unit of local government, can have a critical role in attracting the collective actions of local governments which attain the summative benefits of improved public health. Second, while this dissertation tests the policy output of local government, the policy outcome of the comprehensive plan for public health must be investigated in the future. Since the data for the adoption and integrative set of comprehensive plan are restricted in 2011, testing health outcomes cannot be attributed to the effect of the plan. To establish a synthesis of theoretical and analytical models, this dissertation will be expanded from analysis of policy output of local government to analysis of policy outcomes as improved public health.

Anybody BPL'ers with a Canon S95/S100/S110 or equivalent have suggestions for a case with quick access, secure flap, that can be easily attached to backpack?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

I use the Mystery Ranch Flip Top Box. It is very well padded, easy to attach to any kind of belt, has a secure closure with fast release. http://www.mysteryranch.com/adventure/pack-accessories/flip-top-boxFeb 11, 2013 at 7:25 am #1953152

Consider one of Granite Gear's small pack pockets. Decently padded and quite light.
I have one of the MR flip boxes but use it for tools around the house. It is much too heavy and overbuilt for backpacking. Maybe ammo, however.Feb 11, 2013 at 9:47 am #1953202

Case Logic makes a padded case that weighs 1.1 ounces, has a zippered main pocket and a small zipper pocket that can hold a couple of batteries and an extra card or two. It has a belt loop and comes with a mini biner. $10 at Best Buy. I've used it on my S95 at it's about perfect.
For watersports, Pelican case 1020 fits the camera perfectly.Feb 11, 2013 at 11:43 am #1953235
Thanks for your suggestions. I wanted to avoid zippers, since I needed access with mitts and gloves. The Mystery Ranch was interesting..a bit large, and the snap would be a bit difficult with mitts.
The LowePro Dublin 20 is a good snug fit, belt loop on back, and with Velcro closure…easy to handle with mitts/gloves.Feb 11, 2013 at 3:53 pm #1953308

I saw your post earlier today and wanted to be sure the model so I checked it when I got home — ended up going with a Tamrac 5686 myself for my S95 and it fits great with similar concerns that you had – hated the zipper variety pouches and wanted a good attachment system. I wasn't a fan of the neoprene type case either because I fumbled getting the camera out of the stretched fabric, but hopefully it works for you. The Tamrac is just another option for anyone else running across this thread. Good luck with your new case!Feb 11, 2013 at 6:04 pm #1953352

Hey. I have the LowePro Rezo 10 and I LOVE it. They don't make it anymore but you can find them on amazon and ebay for cheap. It's pretty rugged for such a little case, Velcro which is great for gloves and easy access. Plus there's a small pocket for an extra card.
Added Bonus the connection strap on the back is Velcro too for easy on and off so you can put in anywhere you want quickly and easily.
