LEED Certified Buildings In West Des Moines
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is a program of the U.S. Green Building Council that sets standards for design, construction and operations of buildings. Certification means these aspects ofa building have been reviewed and met rigorous standards. There are several levels of LEED Certification.
LEED Platinum Certified
LEED Gold Certified
LEED Silver Certified
LEED Certified
The following buildings in West Des Moines have received some level of LEED certification.
Aviva USA headquarters is LEED Gold Certified and is the largest structure in Iowa and one of only five its size or larger in the United States to acheive that designation.
The West Des Moines Historic City Hall has applied for LEED Certification and expects to recieve LEED Gold status. This video highlights the many sustainable features the City of West Des Moines was able to incorporate into our Historic City Hall. This building now houses the offices of the Valley Junction Foundation. See the electricity being generated by the building's photovoltaic cells!
Mercy West Lakes Hospital has received a LEED Certified designation for its 293,000 square foot seven-story building.

This piece looks great on my bar and is definitely fun / different. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that it is a little bit more of a show piece than a functional shaker.
Taking it apart is a bit cumbersome and I've had some issues with the lid being a bit leaky / drippy when I open it up, but overall still a cool piece.
I got this a while back and used the simple syrup's that came with it. It was a nice novelty for a while, but i realized that I'm more of a non-shaken type of drinker. Then, I used it for storage, which is wonderful. Every morning I drink a protein shake that I add chia seeds to. I filled this with the chia seeds, and shake them into my shake each morning. It's great for when you buy your chia in bulk.5
I bought this about 10 months ago and have refrained from reviewing until I gave it a few good tries. The very first time I used this (for a martini) it leaked all over my hand... Disappointment. Then, I couldn't get the cap off. It was basically frozen on, because the cold ice caused it to shrink. I finally just had to screw off the top and dump my drink through a slotted spoon. Classy. After many attempts over the months, I've found that if I shake this back and forth instead of up and down (I hope that makes sense, basically I just don't let the liquid and ice get near the cap) then you can still remove the cap. If you are like me and prefer a really cold martini with ice shards, sorry, you can either have the ice or you can get the cap off.... not both. Also, if you don't completely disassemble this immediately after use, it rusts. I'm talking like the next morning there is rust on it. Just go buy a regular martini shaker from a nice liquor store.3

By the middle of the morning of Day Two of the GeoDesign Summit I was already "lightning talked out." The day actually started with a few more traditional papers. A pair from AECOM offered one vision of urban land planning that focused on sustainability. More than one person suggested this was the best illustration of geodesign at the event, but I confess it went over my head; my notes literally say "no idea." If nothing else, I certainly felt their discussion illustrated the complexity of the endeavor.
Stu Rich from PenBay Solutions focused on bring GIS indoors to provide a holistic vision for facilities management. Stats "6 times more floorspace than land area in Manhattan. Need to start mapping the building insides." "48% of energy use in US is on buildings, only 27% transportation. Greenest building is the one never built…" (Thx @DaleAtSafe for catching those!) He demonstrated how a good, complete model of a building or complex could, like its outdoor sibling, be used for a variety of analyses. Using part of the Esri Redlands campus he explored:
- How a disabled employee could evacuate and if it met ADA requirements
- How to locate a newly hired manager to maximize face time with the team
- How to determine if the fire hoses could reach areas of the structure
Carl Steinitz
If the first presentation was a challenge for me, Carl Steinitz of Harvard challenged me further. Steinitz, as several of us agreed during the break, describes thing so simply, with "cartoon" graphics or just the difference between a "thumbs up" and a "thumbs down, that his words are deceiving. You have to pay extra attention to capture and process even a fraction of it. I realized in trying to keep up, that listening to him was akin to trying to keep up with James Burke (the Connections guy who spoke at the User Conference in 1990s. He said then: "I will speak for one hour. I hope you've all been to the toilet.").
Here are just some of the pearls and big ideas I took from Steinitz discussion, which went about 20 minutes long. (No one seemed to care.)
- Quantity yields lousy designs. Why is that?
- Geodesign is for solving poorly defined problems
- Those doing geodesign are muddling in a complex world pretending it's simple.
- He cited deGroot (though I found it attributed to Einstein), who said, in paraphrase: Not everything that can be counted counts; some things that can't be counted, count.
- Visualization is not communication.
- We are losing an understanding of what is sweet and good in life because it is qualitative not quantitative. (I tell my running friends that a lot. A good marathon may not be reflected in your finish time. My best one: Passed TONS of people in the last five miles. One of my slowest marathons EVER.)
The four key players in a design experience are:
- people of the place (they change)
- info tech resources and people
- geographers/scientists
- design professionals
He went on to highlight how the geographers/scientists come at problems from fundamentally different ways than their colleagues in design. That in and of itself is not a bad thing, but getting these group to communicate makes forward motion a challenge. In short, we underestimate the difficulty of communication.
One example of the different perspectives: geographers use the past and present to predict the future. Designers think about the future, but don't know much about the present and past. Now, Steinitz was quick to point out this was a broad generalization but a valuable starting point in thinking about how to bring these players together.
Much of the rest of the presentation revolved around the use of models and the questions that should be applied to the landscape.
The biggest takeaway from a practical standpoint was Steinitz strong conviction that we should not be "making" geodesigners. Instead, we should be making trained professionals (geographers, designers, scientists, etc.) who can work together.
Lightning Talks
After a much needed break to try to clear some space in our brains, a marathon of lightening talks began.
Of note:
Tamara Manik-Perlam of Azavea showing off some of their end user facing work, with a focus on response times and usability.
Chris Andrews of Autodesk showing off Galileo. While there is much buzz about Galileo in the CAD and design communities, my sense was it was new to many who focus on GIS. And, many got a kick out of an Autodesk staffer speaking at Esri headquarters.
Jim Appleton, President of the University of Redlands shared that institution's vision for integrating GIS and spatial thinking across the curriculum in addition its already well known GIS programs. He spoke with passion and conviction and clearly spent a lot of time learning from his faculty. Look to Redlands to take a lead in many areas of GIS education.
Tom Fisher of the University of Minnesota outlined that schools vision for a education framework. He argued (and I'm not yet convinced of this) that geodesign is the "moveable type" of our time. That is, it will help disperse knowledge, with the help of the Web.
IdeaLabs 2
We gathered into shortened IdeaLabs to round out the afternoon. I returned to the curriculum one where we looked at some of the different models of making geodesign happen. In some schools it's being taught, but not named that. In others, the geodesign moniker, with some changes in course contents is popping up. In a third, there is contemplation of a geodesign certificate, something that would serve local employers. I sensed there was no overall agreement or disagreement with Stienitz feeling that we not create geodesigners. That is probably healthy at this point.
The other "big idea" for me was the contention that geodesign may well be parallel to BIM. Right now, in the marketplace, designers and others in the design/construction arena need to be "BIM ready." That means they need to be able to hit the ground running as part of team working together via BIM. Combine that with requirements from the federal government and others that BIM be part of the design process and there is an educational imperative for trained "BImmers" (I made that up!). Karen Hanna of Cal Poly Pomona, argued the same should and would be true for geodesign. How far away that vision is, is unclear. It certainly could help the educational community begin to define curricula and tease out best practices for teaching it.
The most positive sentiment, for me, from this group discussion, is that many individuals and institutions are already "just doing it," that is implement geodesign as part of their individual courses or degrees. From their work, we agreed, we'll begin to learn what works and does not, and spread the word about this new way of thinking.
Wrap Up
We wrapped up the day having a look at the results of Thursday's BIMStorm. Kimon Onuma's colleagues had fleshed out some of our buildings, including a several thousand story tower! (It looked pretty cool in Google Earth, but was quickly turned off.) Onuma reminded us that our little one hour session is not really how designers work, but it did give us a taste of process.
Jack Dangermond then took the pulse of the community about the meeting. Some responses:
- Most liked the two day model
- Most were ok with moving the meeting out of Esri and some universities are considering hosting in the future
- Lightening talks need to be shorter (six minutes instead of ten) and should be curated via video pitches
- Most thought it would be ok to turn geodesign to an appropriate professional organization to nurture and grow
- Most thought the number of lightning talks was about right
- There was excitement about a hack day associated with the Summit to tackle a real problem (That's part of the plan for Redlands GIS Week coming in February.)
Bonus: Look for my "Takeaways" article on the event this week in Directions Magazine.
Esri helped cover some travel and lodging costs related to Directions Media's attendance at the Summit.

Hello All,
I'm trying to reverse the oil pan on my '92 Dodge Cummins 6bt and have purchased a pickup tube off ebay that looked like it had a good chance of working.
It got here, and it bolts right up and the pan goes on just fine and I believe it would work without a problem. However, I noticed a few things.
1. It's positioned about 3/8" higher than the rear sump unit.
2. It's located about 2" closer to the drain hole than the rear sump unit.
Should I care? Seems to me none of this matters unless you run it out of oil; and the positioning just means that happens 2qts sooner if I run it out of oil.
I could probably heat and bend it to get the height the same. Should I?
Thanks for the advice,
P.S. I'd post pictures but I can't yet...I don't have 10 posts.

- I just started; what do I do??
- The New Players' Guide will give you some guidelines for your first few weeks. Don't worry about rushing anything; this game should be viewed as a long-term marathon rather than a sprint - most players don't reach their high-level potential for at least 100 days.
- I just read the New Players' Guide but I'm already Rank 50, is it too late to reroll?
- Don't fret those early levels - with a decent strong starter monster, you can catch up to that progress in a flash. However, if you're really attached to your collection, there is always a chance you will pull a game-changing monster from the REM in the future, if you are sufficiently patient and lucky...
- Why can't I add my powerful monster to my team?
- You don't have enough Team Cost because your Player Rank is not high enough yet.
- Why can't I sell/fuse this monster even though it's not on my team or marked as "Favorite"?
- It's probably on one of your other teams. Swipe left and right on the team building screen to check.
- Is it true that diagonal moves are possible?
- Yes! It can greatly increase your combo options, but pulling it off consistently is pretty unreliable. It may be easier on a tablet/larger screen. The faster you move the orbs, the more likely a diagonal move will work.
- I want to use my friend's leader, but he's not in my list.
- Have your friend re-login to the game (force-close the app and open it again), then you do the same.
- People are talking about a special dungeon today, but I don't see it in my game!
- If you don't have enough total stamina to enter certain advanced dungeons, they will not be displayed.
- I was reading a forum/article/blog and came across a term/abbreviation I didn't understand.
- There is a PAD Verbiage page for commonly used P&D slang. Check there and feel free to leave a comment if you didn't find an answer to your question.
- Is an enemy more likely to drop if I target it?
- No. All drops in the dungeon are predetermined when you start the dungeon, so nothing you do to the enemies will affect the drops.
- How do I quit out of a dungeon without dying?
- In the top-right, tap the Menu button and select Quit. You will still lose stamina and any loot from the dungeon.
- What do I do if I have a lot of stamina left when I'm close to ranking up?
- 1) Go grind the low-EXP dungeons for evolution materials. 2) If you don't need evo materials, you can try challenging a difficult high-stamina dungeon. If you die, it's no big loss since you can rank up quickly and refill.
- How can I rank up quickly?
- On weekends when Tower of Giants is 1/2 stamina, "Dragons of the Tower" will give you a great EXP/stamina ratio. If your team is strong enough, you can also run "King of Darkness" in Castle of Satan. Dungeon Overview (Normal) has more detailed numbers.
- During 1.5x or 2x drop rate, is there increased appearance rate of rare/invade monsters?
- No, but rare monsters are more likely to drop if they do show up. Invades are always guaranteed to drop. There are certain other special dungeon events when a rare/invade monster gets a boosted chance to appear; they will be announced separately in the Daily News.
- What do I do with this monster? It doesn't seem to be useful.
- Look up that monster's page in this wiki, and click on the "Guide" link at the top to find out.
- That's great, but nobody has written a Guide for this monster yet.
- If in doubt, hold on to it! But you can get a general idea by checking the following things:
- Does it evolve into something cool? Take a look at the "Evo Tree" link at the top of the page.
- Is it used to evolve certain monsters? Look for the "Used to Evo These Monsters" section at the bottom of its page.
- Is it good for leveling up other monsters? Check the "Fodder Exp" and see if it's a deliciously high number.
- Does it (or its evolution) have an Active Skill? It's probably used to Skill Up a more important monster. Reference the "Monsters with Same Skill" section at the bottom of its page.
- My monster has another element icon in the lower right. What does that mean?
- These are sub-attributes, which gives your monster another attack when orbs of that attribute are matched. If the sub-attribute matches the main attribute (such as Firedragon Grand Tyrannos), the amount of damage contributed is 10% ATK; if different from the main attribute (such as Scorched Claw Dragon, Flare Drall), the damage is 30% ATK. They will also be treated the same as a monster with that color for its main attribute when it comes to things like Leader Skill boosts, Binds, etc.
- My Loki gives x2 ATK and RCV to Dark creatures and Devils. Does he give x4 ATK and RCV to a Dark Devil-type creature?
- No. Leader skills from a single Leader never stack with themselves. However, if you had Loki and added a Hellray Harpie Demon to your team (Light Devil), a friend's leader's multipliers to Light creatures would stack with Loki's bonuses to Devils.
- Can I kill a monster with Gravity?
- No. Using a Gravity-type skill on a monster with 1 HP will do 0 damage.
- Will Orb changing skills wipe out my +Orbs?
- As of Ver 6.4.3, any Orb that has a + will still keep it after being changed.
- Will full-board Orb changing skills like Five Colored Alchemy screw me with only two orbs of a color?
- No, there will always be at least three of each color. However, skills like Red Dragon Caller, Sonia's Draco Summoning Circle-Fr & Dk do not guarantee at least 6 of each color, so you may not be able to make the rows you need...
- How do Row Enhance Awoken Skills like Enhanced Fire Att. work?
- For each horizontal row of 6 Orbs you match, every Row Enhance skill on your team will increase the team's total damage of that color by 10%. The rows must not be connected, so the max number of rows you can make on a board is 3. (In other words, a full board of Fire Orbs created by Ishikawa Goemon only counts for one Row.) So if you make two rows of Fire Orbs and have 6 Enhanced Fire Att.s on your team, that would increase all Fire attacks that turn by 2*6*10% = 120% extra damage.
- How does Two-Pronged Attack work?
- For every attacking match with exactly 4 Orbs, each Two-Pronged Attack on a monster will increase that monster's total attack power by 1.5x, as well as attacking two enemies at once. So if you make 3 4-Orb matches, a monster with two Two-Pronged Attacks will attack for (1.5^2)^3 = 11.4x power!
- The sub-attribute can also activate the boost! For example, matching 3 Water Orbs and 4 Fire Orbs will give Eight-Headed Dragon God, Viper Orochi 1.5x boost for both its Water and Fire attacks.
- The sub-attribute will also attack two enemies, and may target different ones from the main attribute. That is to say, your monster may attack up to four enemies at once.
- If there's only one enemy on screen, you will not launch two attacks, but the 1.5x boost will still activate.
- Two-Pronged Attack only activates on a match of 4 Orbs, not 5 or more, but if you make a match of 4 Orbs and a match of 5+ Orbs at the same time, you will activate the skill and spread-attack all enemies with the 1.5x added boost.
- How do Orb Enhance Awoken Skills like Enhanced Fire Orbs work?
- Each Orb Enhance skill on your team increases the chance of +Orbs appearing for that color by 20%, so 5 Orb Enhances will guarantee + on all Orbs of that color. Furthermore, each Orb Enhance skill will increase the damage of all attacks in that color by 4% for each match with a +Orb in it. For example, if you make 2 Fire matches each containing 3 +Orbs, they will increase Fire damage by 6*6% = 36%. Now, if you have 5 Enhanced Fire Orbs on your team, they will additionally increase Fire damage by 5*2*4% = 40%. In total, this results in 1.36*1.40 = 1.904x Fire damage.

ok so I went on a subaru drive here in oregon....
my air condition was working fine all the way there and most of the way back... and then for some reason it started cutting out but then came back on and lasted the whole way back home.....
i then washed the car and went to park it in the garage and notice my AC wasnt on again and it wont turn on... my AC compressor i can hear turn off and on so that is cycling... i know the air is getting cold because i can have it on and drive with the vents on and can feel the air a little.
I have checked all fuses inside the car and outside in the engine bay. Also tested the Relays theres 2 Ones black and ones blue behind the glove box.
heres the parts:
left one is black right one is blue... (2523079972) and (2523079971) both made by nissan.
Napa's part numbers same as the nissan ones above.
Blue : 25230-9B900 @ napa is was 18.50
Black: 25230-79982 @ napa it was 11.50
I guess the black one is actually for your headlights and im not sure what the blue one is....and i hope these are the right relays that im looking for...
anyone have any clue what could cause this issue? all my controls light up and when i move the dials i can see them moving the vents in the back of the glove box.....
I tested both the blue and the black relays out of another 05 and they it didnt help and they seem to be working so its either some kind of wiring or the blower that is not working.
if its the Blower is it a hard install? and price??
any help thanks all!

Hi. I've seen a lot of people using the SSS plugged into additional color of mia material to get a better reflection on skin. The problem is that the adding a reflection on top of skin shader breaks the energy conservation.
On Vray you can use a vray Fresnel shader to control the addition of a reflection on top of skin.
Is there anything similar in mental ray?

First this is not a simultaneous system, as Y1 and Y2 only appear on the LHS. So it is a problem for SUR, not 3SLS, as all variables on the RHS are exogenous in the system you describe.
Second 'makecns' will not do any good for nonlinear constraints. It is appropriate for y = X b + u s.t. R b = r, where you want to make the matrix R and vector r. Nonlinear constraints cannot be handled by this framework.
Third it should be straightforward to do this with the -nlsur- command, as it is specifically designed to handle nonlinear systems of non-simultaneous equations.

rocking recaro fix
So.. not sure if this has been reported here, but there is now an official rocking recaro fix.
This involves some washers and retainer clips according to my service advisor.
I just had it done on my MY11 today under warranty and so far the seat is solid as rock!
The thing that has me worried a bit is Cadillac's approach to things(or at least Cadillac dealer's approach). Coming from BMW and previously Infinity, I'm used to 2 responses from a dealer when you have an issue: 1. we can't duplicate it, 2. we'll fix it. I've never encountered, "I see what you mean, but it's normal", when it's clearly not normal which later became "yes, this is a problem, but we can't/don't know how to fix it because GM hasn't come up with a fix"... Luckily, they searched deeper and found the fix, but still... it has me worried about potential future issues.
Re: rocking recaro fix
Nice, I'm sure a lot of people will be bringing their cars in for this.

Re: rocking recaro fix
can you post the tsb number?
Re: rocking recaro fix
didn't I post it? the number I have on my receipt is 09-08-50-004B. I'm assuming that's the TSB, but not sure.. that's all i have though
in fact this is the statement on my repair receipt:
"Tech road tested and confirmed noise and movement in left front seat, inspected and found nothing loose or damaged, found 09-08-50-004B was advised to install felt washers and new retainer clip"
Installed 11610860: N-Nut(14896-K) qty:2
Installed 11610861: N-Washer(14896-K) qty:2
Tech installed felt washer and replaced retainer clip.
Hope that helps
Re: rocking recaro fix

Re: rocking recaro fix
I can assure you...BMW warranty and service is not always....red carpet...
Great to hear OP - I have an oil change due, I'll ask about the fix. My seats aren't bad, but they do move. It doesn't bother me as it seems as if only positions exhibit the issue, but if they have a fix great!
Re: rocking recaro fix
Oh, i'm not implying that BMW service is great. Probably pretty far from it, but they will fix your problem if they can see it... they may fix 5 other things completely unrelated to it and charge you for it, but they'd never refuse working on it.

Re: rocking recaro fix
I've asked numerous times to be contacted when a fix is available. Haven't received any calls, what a fkn surprise! Thanks for posting that info. Mine rock so bad I'd consider it dangerous when accelerating and/or braking hard. The service guys didn't really care...

Good afternoon Vietnam/ Good morning Laos
You must be suffering from a high level of confusion about where you are, having been to so many countries and interesting places !
We like the sound of Vietnam very much....may see if we can build some of this in to our trip ?
I find your entries really uplifting, sitting here with all the humdrum stuff of normal day to day life....good on ya for going for it......hope it continues to be everything you hoped traveling would be.
May see you when the money eventually runs out ?
Laos, Buses and Vientiane
Loading Map
Another update again as we have sped up a bit to get back to Thailand in time for TEFL course and wildlife volunteering, sorry!
So another day another bus and this was another record topper for bad. When booking the bus to Laos (Lao depending on where you look) we decided to pay the extra $5 for the better bus (as it's a 22 hour journey). We were told the other bus is generally only for Vietnamese people, is packed and stops everywhere. So during the day we wandered around Hanoi visiting the Mousoleum and Interneting before getting back to the hotel for the bus. Once at the hotel we collected our laundry (well remembered) and were told 'quick, quick' time to go. We are hurried down the road and round the corner to the tour place where we then sit for an hour. Finally the moto comes and after a 20 minute terrifying drive across Hanoi (at one point we missed an on-coming bus by an inch) we arrive at the bus
So off we go with no leg room, legs either over boxes or twisted around them looking forward to the next 22 hours! Thankfully there were a few hours when Danny and I had three seats to share, but mostly Danny was against the window with his legs over me, I was sitting with my legs over the boxes and luggage, one guy was asleep on my shoulder and two more were next to him. It was all very friendly and soon we were all dozing and dribbling together! Although squashed it was not too bad apart from not having any idea if/where or for how long we would stop, how we were going to get a visa on the border and there were only three songs being played over the speakers over and over (and over) again all night!.
At 4:30am we arrived at the border and slept on the bus till 6 (thank you so much PHGU for the travel pillow)
Still can't complain (unless that's what I'm doing to you) we met people who got on the other tourist bus and they said it crashed, completely crunching the front and they had to sit by the road at 3am for repairs, so maybe it was better on our bus!
So now in Laos sixth country along the way and so far it has been really great. First impressions of Laos and it's capital are how few people there are (6 million total in the size of Britain). The weather is warmer, prices a little lower, is more relaxed, lots of smiling people and really nice food.
Yesterday we met a few people and had a dinner by the dried up Mekong and today walked around the city. We managed to navigate around despite there being no street names and saw 5-6 Wats and monuments. One Wat (Wat Si Saket) was very impressive as it had over 3000 Buddhas inside.
So up to Vang Vieng next for a few days as the journey continues.....
Hope you are all ok, take care,
us :)
Post your own travel photos for friends and family More Pictures
Good afternoon Vietnam/ Good morning Laos
Hi from Mum
Dan and Kate
Buses seem to be a nasty word, but you will never forget these experiences, Dad says the greyhound will be OK and so we will try the buses. The motor cycles look better but just as dangerous.
I have hurt my leg, another thing going wrong, the calf muscle is torn the doc thinks, guess I could of made that diagnosis. I am going crazy at home doing nothing and we have Nanny Mills here too. She is well and moving to live with Joyce.
Things are moving on the house and we are packing and clearing out. The new house is near Hinchingbrooke hospital and we can walk(sore point)straight in the country park from our house. I am really excited about travelling as we are planning inbetween packing and phone calls. We are trying to add Peru and Galapacos Islands (Kate are you envious). Dad has been to STA travel to price it.
I showed Nanny Mills the photos and she thought it was amazing, it must of cost a fortune for the site was all she could say as she watched in awe.
Looking forward to the next installment, same place, same time, same channel.
Love u


text: I have been pondering this question for some time. Does any company make single pleated pants (reletively inexpensive, if possible) and could a younger man pull double pleats off?? I know that flat-front is the going style now, but my body isn't shaped well enough for them to fit how I like. Pleats help, but I feel like I am "dressing too old" so to speak if I am wearing double pleated Dockers. (No offense to anyone, it's just that it is a problem when I am wanting to wear pants to a club or to work, and Dockers just don't seem to do it for a 23 year old.) Anyone have an alternate solution? Or even some brands that could help me. I am not wanting to spend too much (college budget), but at the same time I appreciate quality and have no problem with paying a little more for that. Any suggestions??

Vermonters Memorialize Britain's Queen Mum
04/02/02 12:00AM By Steve Zind
(Host intro) England's Queen Mother died Saturday at the age of one hundred and one. Her passing did not go unnoticed among Vermonters with ties to England. VPR's Steve Zind reports.
(Zind) Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes Lyons wasn't seen as Queen material, nor was she expected to occupy the position. But when her brother-in-law Edward abdicated the throne, Elizabeth's husband became King George VI and she became Queen. George's fifteen-year rule spanned World War Two. During the bombing of London, the King and Queen and their children remained in the city. George Moyser is a native of England and a Professor of Political Science at the University of Vermont:
(Moyser) "They're remaining in London really gave all the people a sense that they were with them. She had a radiant smile and a gift for reaching out to people, which not every member of the royal family shares."
(Zind) Robert Whittingham of Tinmouth was born in Wales and raised in London. He was a teenager during the war. Whittingham says the Queen was a mother figure whose subjects affectionately shortened her chosen title of Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother:
(Whittingham) "That itself tells you. The Queen Mum. I don't think any other monarch will ever have that title from the people."
(Zind) Whittingham says the Queen Mother represented a bygone era when people were united in their support of the Monarchy:
(Whittingham) "I think she'll be the last of the great monarch's that we'll ever know in the world."
(Zind) Moyser says even more than an end of an era in the Monarchy, the death of the Queen Mother closes a chapter in history:
(Moyser) "She's always been there in the public life all my life and she had a grandstand seat in much of Europe's and Britain's history throughout the twentieth century."
(Zind) Both Wittingham and Moyser say the purpose and theusefulness of the Monarchy have faded. Neither expect that a future British royal will play as important a role or enjoy the kind of respect afforded Queen Elizabeth.
For Vermont Public Radio, I'm Steve Zind.

HK firms face tough UK anti-bribery law
Thousands of Hong Kong firms will soon be subject to a new British Bribery Act, said to be the strictest anti-corruption law in the world. Yet many are either ignorant of the new law or believe it will not affect them.
But the act, effective from July 1, is considered to be even tougher than the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and its reach is far broader than its name suggests.
The law prohibits the crimes of bribery, being bribed, bribery of foreign public officials and failure to adequately prevent bribery by company employees or clients.
Penalties include a maximum 10 years' imprisonment, no limit on fines, confiscation of property and the disqualification of individuals to sit as directors. The law has almost universal jurisdiction, allowing prosecution of individuals or companies with links to Britain, regardless of where the crime occurred.
Ruth Cowley, a partner at law firm Norton Rose, said the act applied to all British citizens and British-registered businesses, and those that did business for British companies.
'Therefore, a UK citizen who lives in Hong Kong or mainland China and pays a bribe in Hong Kong or mainland China will commit an offence under the act,'' Cowley said.
The anti-bribery act not only covers companies operating in Britain but also their operations or branches overseas. For example, the conduct of the Hong Kong or mainland branches of British lenders HSBC Holdings and Standard Chartered will be subject to the new law.
Other Hong Kong or mainland companies can subject to the law if they act or serve as agents for British-based firms.
Gary Seib, a co-head of Baker & McKenzie's Asia-Pacific compliance group, said many Hong Kong and mainland firms were working to upgrade their compliance systems. But not everyone.
'I won't be taking any notice of these sections of the anti-bribery act as they aren't legitimate and can't be enforced outside UK territory,' said Mark Fenlon, a Briton living in Hong Kong who founded Markimage, a design firm and audio-products maker. 'I urge all UK non-residents, working in Asia for Asian concerns, to follow the laws of the country or territory in which they live and work.
'Frankly, the UK government is wasting time and resources on matters that belong to other nations. The UK can't impose legislation beyond its borders.'
There is some truth in what Fenlon said. The British government cannot take direct action against a Hong Kong or mainland company.
'The act will not directly impact the anti-corruption laws of Hong Kong,' said a spokesman for the Independent Commission Against Corruption. 'The ICAC is fully committed to supporting all international efforts to combat corruption. The UK Bribery Act is a far-reaching piece of legislation. Any person, who has a close connection with the UK ... should be aware of the wide extra-territorial implications of the act.'
Seib said British-based companies could be fined or prosecuted if their third-party agents overseas paid or accepted a bribe or did not have proper compliance procedures to prevent bribery.
Some British-based firms have asked if mainland or Hong Kong agents have compliance systems and may stop using them if they do not.
'UK companies are expected to be taking a more rigorous process in choosing their agents,' Seib said. 'These include conducting due diligence to check on the backgrounds and internal compliance systems of their joint-venture partners or acquisition targets.'
Kroll, a commercial investigative firm, sees an opportunity.
'This is a dramatic change in corporate liability, which is a huge concern for UK businesses in Hong Kong and China,' said Colum Bancroft, the managing director for financial investigations at Kroll in Hong Kong.
'Indeed our expanded investigative capabilities are a reflection of heightened concern around the impending UK Bribery Act, as well as stepped-up enforcement of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
'We're working with an increasing number of corporations and private equity firms to screen their vendors, agents and portfolio firms.'
Steve Vickers, the chairman of FTI International Risk, said companies should have detailed policies on gifts, hospitality and promotional payments for staff. 'They should also set up hot lines for employees and vendors to report alleged corruption,' he said.
Ant-Sinova (Hong Kong) serves as a management consultant for many European clients. 'As an agent for these clients, we were asked to fill in a declaration to make sure we have procedures and training for our staff to prevent corruption or bribery,' chief executive Jennifer Chan. 'I don't mind following the new act because it will make local companies aware of the measures needed to prevent corruption, which would establish a good business ethic. And companies that refuse to make the declaration may find it difficult to secure European or British clients.'
For multinationals, Seib said many had to pay attention to whether their internal compliance systems complied with the law. 'They need to be aware of the differences between the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act,' he said.
For example, the US law does not consider the so-called 'facilitation payment' as bribery but the British act does. The facilitation payment refers to a small fee paid to an official to speed up a clearing process.
'This is not meant to convince the officer to approve goods that should not be imported but just to speed up the process,' Seib said. 'This may be permitted under the US legislation but is not allowed in the UK.'
Another difference is the US law targets government officials, while the British one covers the public and private sectors.
The maximum jail term, in years, under the new British Bribery Act. Offenders also face
- No limit on fines
- Seizure of assets

This is my re-imagining of the Wizard of Oz characters in the style of 1970s sci-fi concept art.

Would love to include this in a printed anthology I'm editing. Please get in touch, and I'll give you more info....
Dorothy looks Princess Leia or maybe Padmi, the Scarecrow looks like a Tusken Raider & the Tin Man looks like a cross between a BSG Cylon centurion or Cyberman from " Doctor Who " with a touch of " Bender " from Futurama. The Cowardly Lion doesn't QUITE look like Chewie. But this is quite good.
splendid work
Very interesting, but I must say that this all reminds me of Star Wars.
That's what I was going for! I was looking at a lot of the art Ralph McQuarrie did for Star Wars and BSG
You're very good my man... Impressive stuff... what do you use? Photoshop?
Yes, I agree!
the scarecrow reminds me of a tusken raider, awesomeness
Thanks, yeah that's what I was going for. For the lion I had Chewbacca concept art in mind, and for the Tin Man I was going for a Cylon look.

Transportation Nation
A Cultural Casualty of Ambitious Road Construction
The road to the Grand Parkway goes through, and over, the Forbidden Gardens. The Houston area is undertaking a $5 billion road project to circle the city with the Grand Parkway. But that planned road will pass right through a currently quiet cultural center in Katy, TX--about 25 miles west of Houston--called Forbidden Gardens. The museum owners say that would destroy the intended purpose of their organization.
KUHF's Wendy Siegle took a serene visit to the Forbidden Gardens. Listen to the full story here.
The museum is scheduled to close in the middle of February and is looking to sell its collection of 6,000 miniature terracotta soldiers.

Salt found to improve red wine flavour
The former chief strategist of Microsoft believes consumers should add salt to red wine in order to improve the flavour.
As reported by Bloomberg, Nathan Myhrvold, who was also Microsoft's former chief technology officer, advocates adding a pinch of salt to your glass of red in order to smooth out and balance the flavours.
Myhrvold, who has a degree in mathematics, geophysics and space physics form UCLA, came across the discovery during a dinner with Californian winemaker Gina Gallo after she sung the praises of savoury tones in Cabernet Sauvignon.
"I said 'I can make it more savoury' so I added a little salt to the wine, which totally changed it," Myhrvold told Bloomberg.
"I start by adding just a tiny pinch and what it does is to balance the flavours. With most wines, they immediately taste smoother. We have many different types of flavor receptors," he added.
Myhrvold estimates that in addition to sweet, sour, salt, bitter and umami, humans have around 40 other taste receptors in their tongue.
"When you taste something, you have this cacophony of different tastes and your brain tries to summarise that.
"A tiny bit of salt changes the overall impression, which is why chefs salt food," Myhrvold told Bloomberg.
Unafraid of ruffling the feathers of wine snobs, instead of decanting, he advocates putting red wine in a blender for half a minute in order to aerate it.
However, Myhrvold limits this iconoclastic practice to young reds rather than the likes of vintage claret.

Vienna, Va. – March 28, 2012 – With most of the country still sluggish on job creation, startups face the opposite problem – a glut of open technical jobs. According to a new infographic released today by StartUpHire, the largest online database of jobs at startup companies, with support from the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA), while engineering and other technical jobs account for more than 36 percent of all open jobs at startups, less than 15 percent of candidates are applying for these positions. Software engineers had the largest number of open jobs last year with more than 42,000 jobs posted. Sales jobs were the only other position where applicants trailed openings.
"To get our economy moving, we have to both develop and attract qualified talent to these young companies," said Steve Roberson, CEO of StartUpHire. "The startup economy is our country's best kept secret. This is the where the job growth is, and the industry needs to raise awareness about the opportunities that exist in order to help young companies capitalize on their tremendous promise."
Data from StartUpHire's more than 14,000 open jobs and 100,000 registered job seekers also show an increase in startup job posts by more than 23 percent over the last year with more than one-quarter of applicants having prior startup experience. Executive level postings on the database are rising steadily as companies increasingly use StartUpHire for all levels of recruiting. More than 500 executive level positions were posted in 2011.
"The venture community invests heavily both in time and dollars in the growth of technical talent which helps companies grow and succeed," said NVCA president Mark Heesen. "However, this data clearly shows that there is a significant amount of untapped potential in our workforce. We need to leverage this talent so that our nation's entrepreneurial community can l reach its full potential witht the right teams in place."
On the opposite end of the spectrum, administration, finance, operations and HR positions make up roughly 9 percent of the job openings but those areas represent 30 percent of the applicants. Marketing is close behind with almost 10 percent of the jobs getting roughly 13 percent of the applicants. The top states with open startup positions are California, Massachusetts, New York and Texas. Eighteen states had job growth increases of more than 100 percent in the last year.
To view and comment on the data, visit www.StartUpHire.com/infographics.
StartUpHire is the job search engine dedicated to recruiting exceptional talent to jobs at emerging growth companies. Our mission is to connect talented individuals to exciting career opportunities at startups of all kinds and to accelerate the team building process for companies and their investors. These are some of the most rewarding careers on the planet, but they historically have been difficult to identify. www.StartUpHire.com
Venture capitalists are committed to funding America's most innovative entrepreneurs, working closely with them to transform breakthrough ideas into emerging growth companies that drive U.S. job creation and economic growth. According to a 2011 Global Insight study, venture-backed companies accounted for 12 million jobs and $3.1 trillion in revenue in the United States in 2010. As the voice of the U.S. venture capital community, the National Venture Capital Association (NVCA) empowers its members and the entrepreneurs they fund by advocating for policies that encourage innovation and reward long- term investment. As the venture community's preeminent trade association, NVCA serves as the definitive resource for venture capital data and unites its more than 400 members through a full range of professional services.

Wiring double switch for new ceiling fan
2 Attachment(s)
I just bought a new ceiling fan and will be mounting it in a place where there is currently no fixture. So I will be adding a juction box in the ceiling to tap off of the current line that runs from a single light switch to an outlet on the other side of the room (the only lighting I have in this room is the plugged in lamp). I would like to replace the switch with a dual switch that will control the fan with one slider and the light (on the fan) with the other. I have not done much electrical wiring before. I noticed in the existing lightswitch there is 14/3 coming down the wall, and 14/2 coming up the wall (I assume then runs off to another light switch or outlet downstairs.) I don't know what to do with the red wire. The ground and black wires were attached to the switch as well as the single red wire coming down from the ceiling. The white was bypassing the switch. With the new dual slider switch, I'm not sure which wires to connect where. Please help. Here is how I'd like to run my wires for the new fan.
Attachment 278
The wires running out of the right side of the junction box go to the outlet on the other side of the room. The magenta wire is actually a black-with-white-stripe wire. The directions say to "connect to wire from wall switch". Not sure which wire they mean. Here is the switch schematic.
Attachment 279
I'm confused on what the schematic is telling me. Is neutral the same as the white return wire? And what exactly is the red wire (in the 14/3) if the black is always hot? Can someone help with how to connect the switch up to the incoming 14/3 and 14/2? Also, at the fan, if I connect black to black, white to white, gnd to gnd, then what do I do with the Magenta (black with white stripe)?
Thanks and much appreciated for any advice offered.
Nice drawings tooman. From what you say it looks like you have a half switched rec on the wall on the other side of the room. The black is being used for the half of the outlet that is hot all the time, and the red is being used for the half that is switched. Your feed could be at either the outlet or it could be that black and white comming up from downstairs at the switch box.
In either case you cannot do what you want with the existing wires.
Post back regarding which end is the feed from the panel, the rec or the light switch. That is an important part of the picture.
The black and black with stripe at the light are for the fan and light to be individually controlled. The directions or a tag on the wire should tell you which is for the fan and which is for the light. This is important because you must hook the dimmer and the speed control to the proper device you you can cause damage to your equipment.
We also need to know which color on the dimmer/speed control are labled for fan and light respectively. Or is that a copy of the mfg schematic that you provided?
Yes the neurtal is the white wire. This is a misuse of the word neutral, but it is also common trade terminology so go with the flow on that one.
I also want to add that you will not likely get enough slack in the wire that goes across the ceiling to make a splice. A min of two boxes will be needed with a bit of wire between them. This will look ugly in the ceiling unless you can put them in the attic.
Also you need a fan rated box where you plan to put the fan.
reply to jwhite
Thanks jw,
I really appreciate your help with this. First a couple of things to clarify. The switch schematic is a duplicate of what came with the switch. I created it in MS Paint. Also, the wiring will be done in the attic because the room I'm doing this in is my bedroom. So no problem with ugly wiring. But you are correct. The wiring over the ceiling (up in the attic) is tight so I will be using a second juction box to give me more slack.
I went around the room and looked at all other switches and outlets. None of them use a red wire (they all have 14/2 running to and from them). Except for one other switch in my closet for the closet light. That has the red wire and the light has the red connected to it's black (for On-Off like you said in your post?)
Back to the switch of concern: I can't tell whether the outlet or switch is the feed from the panel.
Another thing about the outlet is that the white is connected and the black is bypass. Is that normal? So the outlet has red, white, and ground connected but no black. Here's another thing. The outlet is not a half switch outlet. Both receptacles are either on or off. Could this be because the white (return/neutral) are tied in and not the black? If the white were bypass and the black were tied in, would there be a half switch rec like you suggested?
Also, the fan directions only say to connect Blk-Blk, Wht-Wht, Gnd-Gnd, and black/white to "the wire for the wall switch". Is this a possiblility: The red (from the 14/3) is the neutral that is shown in the switch schematic, black is hot (like you mentioned in your post), white is return (but also neutral?) and we don't touch that. If red at the switch location is neutral (for ON-OFF?, as shown in the switch schematic) would I connect the blue and red wired from the switch to the red wire in the wall? Then connect black from the switch to black in the wall, ground to ground, and leave white alone.
Does this help? Let me know if you need more info.
I am getting the general idea here. The original person who wired this used black for constant hot, and red for switch legs.
You say that at the switched outlet the black is bypass. Does that mean that it is wirenutted to another wire back in the box?
Also do you have the directions for the switch? We need to know what the color leads on the switch mean.
I am working on a drawing for you, but I need the details.
Wiring Option
1 Attachment(s)
Will this wiring work? As shown in my initial post, the blue switch wire is for the fan and the red switch wire is for the light. This shows both connected to the red wall wire.
Attachment 280
to get a half switched rec the white would tie in as is. The black would be on one screw on the hot side and the red on another, and the tie bar on the device between them would be broken.
We are getting close. I think I have it. All we need now is to know for sure which wire at the fan/light is for the fan or the light. The choice is between the black and the black with a stripe.
Before you connect the dimmer and speed control be sure you know which is which. Something will burn up if you are not, and you dont want to be out buying more new parts.
yes, you are correct. at the switched outlet, the black (bypass) is wire nutted. This is just like at the switch location where I have 14/3 and 14/2 coming together. The two blacks are wire nutted. At the switch, the two whites are wire nutted.
The switch schematic is the best I can give you. The switch is from Hunter (I bought a Hunter fan) and the part# is 27182. It operates 3 fan speed (hi, med, low, off) and the light dimmer is full range. It says it requires 3-wire wall switch installation. Is this what I have with the 14/3 or do I need another wire?
In note 3 of the switch info, it says, "This control requires separate wiring for the ceiling fan and fan light kit. If one wall switch currently supplies power to both the fan and light, additional wiring for the light fixture will be required to use this All-Fan control."
So would the "additional wiring" be that third conductor (Red)?
switch wire colors
The new dual slider switch has three wired coming out of it. Black, Blue and Red. From the schematic I know that the black is for Hot, Blue is for the fan, and the Red is for the light.
I am looking through the fan assembly directions to see if they specify with more clarity the wires that come out of it and attach to my junction box.
Here is what I have from what you have told me. I suggest that you try the fan and light sperately with wirenuts before you install the wall dimmer/speed control to be sure about that part.
oh yea, I forgot. You need a 4 counductor between the fan/light and switch or a new 2 conductor from the switch box to the rec box.
Your existing wires will not work.
updated wiring diagram
1 Attachment(s)
you beat me to the punch. I'll post this anyway. Here is how the outlet ties in to the wiring diagram.
Attachment 281
Notice your black wire from the switch box to the outlet ties into the fan/light combo. This will not work. Look over my drawing again. I have an extra blue wire, and it is needed.
Okay, if i'm reading your diagram right, you have me running separate fan (blue) and light (red) wires from the switch to the fan/light assembly. white is still bypass at the switch but is then connected at the fan/light assembly. black is connected at the switch (HOT) but then bypasses the fan/light assembly. Looks like the original red wire (14/3 in wall) is removed from this all together?
At the outlet, you have me connecting white and black, but no red. So we are eliminating the original red wire.
Now, at the fan/light assembly, you think the black from the assembly should connect to the red from the switch (so the light will be hot or on only when the dimmer is used) and the black/white from the assembly should be connected to the blue wire from the switch to control the fan? I have to see what the deal is with these wires coming out of the fan/light assembly. maybe in the directions they say to connect black with black because they are assuming a standard on/off switch.
The directions do say that when wiring to a single switch to connect both black and black/white from the assembly to the black in the juction box. I guess then there will aways be constant power to both fan and light through the same (HOT) black wire in the wall. Then you would have to use the pull chains to turn off the lights and adjust fan speed.
Do I have this right?

While Google is remaining mum about all the details, I've learned that they will be demonstrating the new Linux-based Chrome desktop operating system on Thursday, November 19th.
At this point, I don't even know if they'll be releasing it as a beta, although that would be pretty silly of them just to show it off and not let people get their hands on it. Still, that may prove to be the case. According to a Google public relations representative, "While this will be more of a technical announcement, we will be showing a few demos that will definitely be of interest to you as well as a complete overview and our launch plans for next year."
Last week's rumors that Chrome would actually be launched in 2009 have been revealed as clearly wrong. But while we may not have Google Chrome for Christmas, it appears we will get it sometime in 2010.
What exactly will Chrome be like when it does arrive? We don't know yet. What we do know is that Google Chrome OS will initially be targeted at netbooks. The plan has always been that it will be available pre-installed on both ARM and x86-powered netbooks. It will also be available as a downloadable and installable operating system.
One major PC vendor, Lenovo, has already committed to selling a 3G wireless connected netbook that will use Google's Linux-based Android. It should be easy for them to also deploy Chrome on the same package. Numerous other hardware vendors, such as Acer, ASUS, Hewlett-Packard, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments, and Toshiba have committed to releasing netbooks with Chrome.
If Microsoft isn't worried yet, they should be. No other Linux distribution that's shipping, never mind that Chrome is still vaporware at this point, has gotten so much support from PC makers.
Chrome OS isn't a traditional desktop operating system though. Google Chrome will run on a new windowing system on top of Linux. While it will be able to support traditional desktop-bound applications, as Google said when they announced that they were working on Chrome, "For application developers, the Web is the platform. All web-based applications will automatically work and new applications can be written using your favorite web technologies. And of course, these apps will run not only on Google Chrome OS, but on any standards-based browser on Windows, Mac and Linux thereby giving developers the largest user base of any platform."
We may not even to get out hands on a beta of Chrome this year, but clearly, with Google's massive backing, Chrome is going to be very important, very fast. For the first time in years, Windows may face a real challenge to desktop supremacy. Tomorrow will give us our first look at what may be the next generation of the 21st century desktop.
UPDATE: 4:11 PM EDT: Sundar Pichai, Vice President of Product Management and Matthew Papakipos, Engineering Director for Google Chrome OS will webcast the Google Chrome OS announcement on Thursday, November 19, 10:00am PST at the following URL:
You will need a Real or Windows Media compatible Player to hear the broadcast. Or check out:

The Epitome of Queen Lilavati, Volume 2
€ 24,99
Lieferbar innert 2 Wochen
Juli 2005
BeschreibungThe second volume of Jina-ratna's thirteenth-century The Epitome of Queen Lilavati completes his story. Embodied souls undergo all too human adventures in a succession of lives, as they advance to final release. The primary purpose of Jain narrative literature was to edify lay people through amusement; consequently the stories are racy, and in some cases the moralizing element is rather tenuous. Co-published by New York University Press and the JJC Foundation For more on this title and other titles in the Clay Sanskrit series, please visit http: //www.claysanskritlibrary.org
Pressestimmen"The books line up on my shelf like bright Bodhisattvas ready to take tough questions or keep quiet company. They stake out a vast territory, with works from two millennia in multiple genres: aphorism, lyric, epic, theater, and romance." - Willis G. Regier, The Chronicle Review"No effort has been spared to make these little volumes as attractive as possible to readers: the paper is of high quality, the typesetting immaculate. The founders of the series are John and Jennifer Clay, and Sanskritists can only thank them for an initiative intended to make the classics of an ancient Indian language accessible to a modern international audience." - The Times Higher Education Supplement"The Clay Sanskrit Library represents one of the most admirable publishing projects now afoot... Anyone who loves the look and feel and heft of books will delight in these elegant little volumes." - New Criterion"Published in the geek-chic format." - BookForum"Very few collections of Sanskrit deep enough for research are housed anywhere in North America. Now, twenty-five hundred years after the death of Shakyamuni Buddha, the ambitious Clay Sanskrit Library may remedy this state of affairs."

Different type of rectification?
2 Attachment(s)
I'm wondering if anyone has tried a voltage doubling circuit like this before?
Any thoughts as to how good it would work?
Doublers and triplers work fine for low currents. Your whole power supply becomes dependant on the capacitors ability to store energy.
So maybe not so good for the 400Watt chain clone Im planning?
I was thinking using 4 15V 8amp transformers I found, using 2 parallel for the neg rail and 2 for the pos rail.
Guess Ill keep looking.

JCCRP Breakfast Awards Bravest And Finest
Two members of New York City's uniformed services were honored last week, as the Jewish Community Council of the Rockaway Peninsula recognized them for their service to the Rockaway community.
Police Officer Kevin Campbell, of the 101 Precinct, and Firefighter James Byrne, of Ladder 121, both received JCCRP's public service award at the organization's annual Legislative Breakfast on October 28.
Officer Campbell joined the NYPD in 1999 and was assigned to the 101 Precinct in February 2000. For six and one-half years, he was a midnight patrol officer. He became part of the community-policing unit at the precinct in 2006.
Firefighter Byrne, who lives in Belle Harbor with his wife and four sons, has been assigned to Ladder 121 since he joined the FDNY 11 years ago.
On January 26, 2006, Byrne and his company were fighting a fire on Beach 40 Street and Beach Channel Drive. Upon hearing the calls of a fellow firefighter, and without any regard for his own safety, Byrne rescued his colleague, who was trapped in the hallway of the multi-story building.
Members of Rockaway's FDNY and the 101 Precinct joined both men as they were honored by the JCCRP. for this photo including Chaim Leibtag, president; Yaakov Goldfeder, vice president; and Harvey Gordon, executive director.

Dense Breasts and Breast Cancer
Across the country several states, including right here in Texas, are passing laws making it mandatory that women be notified they have it after getting a mammogram.
While there's a debate on how important it is for women to know, one doctor thinks it could change how breast care is provided.
Carolyn Achenbach is among the 10 percent of American women with dense breast tissue.
A recent study by the National Cancer Institute shows those with dense breasts were no more likely to die than patients whose tissue was not as dense, but dense tissue has been associated with a four to six-fold increase in a woman's risk of developing breast cancer. That is partly because tumors in dense breast tissue can be harder to spot with a mammogram.
Doctor Jennifer Harvey says, "Mammography is the most effective tool that we have for detecting breast cancer. The way we measure breast density is not very good."
Doctor Harvey is a breast imaging expert. She says right now there is no easy to way to measure breast density, so she is developing something to help women better understand their cancer risk.
Harvey says, "Our goal in this study is that we are going to include breast density into a risk model. It will be here is your result and here is you risk of breast cancer."
The doctor believes the personalized model could help women determine how often they should get mammograms, instead of relying on age-based recommendations.
The first phase of Doctor Harvey's risk model study is being funded by a five and half million dollar government grant.
It will continue to be developed over the next three years.
If successful, the model could be available for widespread use within six years.

When is the best time of day to spray paint in hot and humid weather?
I live in south Florida and am working on a DIY project, which includes spray painting my plastic engine cover and battery box to match the color of my car. I'm using rattle can aerosol spray paint since I don't have a paint gun nor a paint booth.
I will be painting in an empty parking garage so I'm not in direct sunlight. The problem is that the weather here in FL is less than ideal for painting. For example on average, in the early morning the temperature is 79 degrees with 82% humidity. The afternoon temp is 92 degrees with 55% humidity. The evening temp is 89 degrees with 70% humidity.
So my question is when would be the best time to spray paint given the above weather conditions? I'm using Bulldog Adhesion Promoter, SEM Flexible Primer Surfacer, a DuPont or PPG bascoat ordered from Paintscratch.com, and SprayMax 2K Urethane Aerosol Clear Coat.
Also given the above weather conditions will the flash off times for each product still be the same?
Thanks for your help,
early in the morning.
Ok well I know that the paint products I'm using say that they should be used between 70-80 degrees at 50% or less humidity. Will spray painting in 82% humidity pose a problem?
is it better at night? At night you'd be dealing with it curing in the cold. I'm not sure as it's not really an issue out here. Might want to wait til someone can chime in who has experience painting in those climates.
If you can, leave a dehumidifier on during the night, and spray when the temp gets to the middle of your reducers heat range, and keep it closed up other than the req'd ventilation.. Room Air conditioner, sitting on the garage floor with the under door insulated underneath should also work, as it will also dehumidify, but don't leave ither running during the paint process
Some of the worst problems I have had calls on in the past by top notch painters is where they were behind on getting a job out and had to paint at night.
Last call was a 40 ford and the front end got damaged after car was put together and the car was set to be shipped to the owner in CA.
9 at night the painter called and the black base (ppg) was blushing leaving white streaks here and there. 80 degrees and 98% humidity.
Another was a grabber type blue color on an old mustang and painter did not notice the blush in the roof until he applied the first coat of clear.
Both of these painter are the best of the best, one in MS and one in GA but normally don't paint at night and both were behind on getting the car out.
Had a friend who was transferred to AL from VA years ago and had been restoring a 69 black Firebird, the house he rented in AL only had a car port.
I started shooting the base at around 6 in morning and had last coat of clear on about 9. Never did a carport job before but it turned out to be one of the nicest paint jobs I ever did.
last coat of clear (4th) was shot just before 9 and I did fight that coat as the heat was rising fast by then.
Back year ago we used to spray in the morning and wet the booth filters good with the garden hose. In fact when I ran a shop in az. we had a lawn sprinkler that sprayed the filters as we painted When you walked in the booth it felt like it was air conditioned.
Using the proper grade reducer in the base is a starting point but using the next slowest grade is good insurance to prevent the problem.
Second longer flash times, when you get to the carbon heavy colors like Black, Dark blue and Dark green and some of the medium blues, you really need to pay attention to flash times.
First coat is usually the most important coat of all.
Not wetting the floor is another good precaution.
Basecoats although are very close to lacquer but are not as susceptible to blushing as lacquers and is rather rare, it is not uncommon to talk to a painter that has been painting say 15 years and does not know what the H is going on and that would be a lot nicer word, then I hear from him.
All the conditions must be perfect as well as the color of the base for the blushing to happen.
I remember a polyurethane professor at Rolla saying years ago 93 degrees and 93% humidity is when no paint works perfectly and anything can happen or nothing may happen.
Not sure I buy that statement but there are a lot of times where I know someone is telling me the exact steps he has taken and there is just no way his problem should have happened and I feel like an idiot when I say, you did nothing wrong but I don't have an answer. Perhaps that would have been a good day for him to have bought a lottery ticket?
i quit painting at night. 1 reason because of the problems listed above, although i havent had it happen to me, i see/read the problems.....and #2 when you've worked 10+ hours straight and now you have to get in the booth and get one sprayed....you're exhuast. not to mention the heat. it only adds to the percentage of a screw up. take a deep breath...hang the gun up and go home. get up early, start fresh and go to town!
in the summer, i try to get up around 4-5 and start spraying. the day before the car gets ready in the booth. i get all the base on that morning....let it sit till next morning...do any nibbing i need...recoat then clear.
spreading it out over 3 days makes a whole lot better, easier, and less stressful job than trying to knock it all out in 1 day.
this aint collision work.
in collision work i don't have the Satisfaction of saying oh ill do that in the morning
i dont have blushing problems anymore,Dupont was the Worse from Base to clear we had problems with it doing Late work and Winter Months
Before any of you dupont guys jump on the Band wagon we used for 35years (MY dad)
i sprayed 380s growing up learning Tech and sprayed 580s the first junk Enamel clear they came out with
MY dad loved the Super Productive clear Dupont had 7600s he sprayed truck loads of the stuff(collision repair)at our shop mine Now.
it was Dog **** imo Blushed all the time in not so right conditions
he would take a heat lamp and draw the moisture out(what he called Milking)
i have found with the newer clear(especially SPI) only draw back I have is Die back)when conditions suck!!!!!!!
it always comes out
to make my long story short.
Conditions are Best early of the morning on even the worse day,but i can t always spray that way
when i start a job i do it all from Frame straightening to finish!
i have a dead line and SPI has made my life easier from start to Finish
even though it sucks to Be Painting this late at night
Just a question with the painting in the morning thing. I've beet watching the humidity forecast and noticed its pretty high in the morning 85ish but at 6 its down to 65ish. Give thtemp goes from 70 to 85 but I would think the lower humidity higher temp would be better to paint in.
Am I off my rocker or does that make since?
Does all this apply to priming (epoxy or 2K) as well?
I'm a hobbyist so don't have the convenience of spraying in the morning since I go to work (and I don't love my car enough to get up at 4 or 5 to spray it, neither do the neighbors ).

No, even bugs don't seem to like epoxy or primer.

Guess it would be the state you are in and time of year, in south we stay hot in early evening and as the sun goes down you can watch the humidity go up.
Temp is as related to the problem as the humidity, if one is low and the other high, that can be a good thing.
