While the leading candidates for Toronto's mayoral elections -- Olivia Chow, David Soknacki, Karen Stintz, and John Tory -- were unanimous in realizing that mobility was the number one issue for the City. The transit plans they revealed had one thing in common: they only have partial solutions and pet projects for Toronto's mobility troubles.
When it comes to urban sustainability, cities in the U.S. and Canada are employing innovative programs and policies to improve the health and well-being of residents and their local environments. But (with some notable exceptions, such as Vancouver and Calgary) no successful rapid transit infrastructure projects have been built in Canadian cities for decades.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Have you attended any of the training camps in Spain (specifically Lanzarote)?
If you have, please share your thoughts on whether it was a good use of your time and any tips having actually done the camp, what you would now do differently.
choose your camp carefully.
we went on one to La Santa a number of years ago with a well known tri coach and were hacked off. it was a mixed group of abilities from fast, GB guys to us 2 old farts (me and my wife) and we were at the slower end of the range (although for our age we are quite quick). to be honest we may not have been there for the attention we were given - it was very disappointing. he liked to focus on the fast guys - fair enough you may say - but we were paying the same amount as they so would have liked a little more advice.
and it wasn't helped by La Santa - we thought it was dreadful - sure, great facilities but the place itself was like Butlin's. and the food was shit.
OK so thumbs down on La Santa.
Is it possible to join the camps without being resident (ie staying somewhere else)?
If not do you know of camps offsite i.e. other places/villas?
AD - don't just go on what I say about La Santa - many people do like it. I guess it all comes down to personal taste. you need to try it yourself really.
as for other camps, get hold of one of the tri mags (220, Tri+ etc) as many will advertise in there.
I've done a Lanza camp last year and am going back for more this year - everyday training lanza camp
This was based in PdC - There were 14 odd partcipants last year, and we ended up with 3 groups - a fast group of 4-6, a medium group of 4-6 and a slow group of, yes, you guessed it, 4-6.People swapped as they saw fit.
30 min swim pre breakfast, 3 to 6 hour ride, 30 min run in the late afternoon. Repeat 6 times. Add in a race every day, (ie a 10k TT, a mini aquathon, a 10k hill climb, a 10k run race etc), a couple of massages, a bit of yoga, food, beer and it was fun. There are options to bike, swim or run long on every day if thats your bag.
We had a couple of top male age groupers (40-50) and a top lady age grouper, (40-50), as well as a several IM novices, (who ended up doing IM lanza in about 14 hrs). If you can bike strong enough, (ie the last day is the IM bike course) then you will get loads out of it. Most people were 30s/40's.
A big block of training will have a big effect on your fitness, and you will get a different perspective on tiredness, (ie day 4 is interesting!). Also wind and hills also become a lot less daunting following a week on biking on Lanza.
Theres no technique coaching as such, just the opportunity to do a lot of volume in a structured supported environment. However, you can train alongside people with way more experience than you, and they will happilly answer any questions re specifics.
The group dynamic obviously depends on who turns up. I went on my own and was abit nervous - all these 'proper' triathletes. Would I fit in, would they be idiots, would I be quick enough? However, it was all good, and the Saturday night end of camp celebration was carnage
There were also other groups training out of PdC so maybe a bit of googling will help find some of those camps.
any other Qs re lanza - just give me a shout

A friend is swapping out his windows laptop for a mac book and he wants to transfer all of his files to the mac. And to be honest I've never dealt with something like this. Is it even possible? If so, is there a preferred method to do so?
How-To Geek Forums / Apple / OS X
Is there an easy method to transfer files from Windows to Mac?(14 posts)
dropbox : )
heres an invitation link. use it and we both get the extra 250 MB of free space : ) !!!
theres also ...
Migrate your Windows files or system to your Mac
: D thanks guys. I was wondering if I could use my 2.5" SATA external case and insert the PC's HD and run it(via USB) as a mass storage device on the Mac?
Can MAC read and write to NTFS drives
The Mac can read FAT32 without a problem. The Mac will read NTFS, but cannot write to it. There is a program called MacFuse, which can read and write to NTFS drives. The Mac's file format of HFS PLUS is the best way o go.
c'mon Xhi, why would they use yours!?
you get an EXTRA 250MB! of space by using mine
; )
no silly! i just remembered you signed up under me.
that explains it.
good grasshopper.
Have him bring the laptop to the mac store and let them do the work for him :)
Yeap go to the store they might surely help, but is there any program that able to transfer it?

Poet Writes Novel
This morning I've set about finishing my novel for the dozenth time. It keeps being finished and then adjustments need to be made, and I make them, and then it goes out into the world again for feedback, and then it comes back to me, and so on and so forth. My hope is that it will go out this time and not come back, and instead will be made directly into a fantastic teen sex/longing movie by the genius who made the movie Twilight. Or by Eric Rohmer. I think Europeans (even dead ones)(actually he's not dead! even better) will get my novel better than Americans. An undead European would be ideal.

Saturday, April 20th was Burger Records' 420 Record Store Day show featuring Gap Dream, The Memories, Street Gnar, Unkle Funkle, and Emotional. Seeing cassette tape and zine label Gnar Tapes' bands in SoCal is always a treat, so the show was definitely worth attending.
The event kicked off a bit after nine with weed and cigarette smoke filling the room. Many fellow Burger Records musicians were in attendance such as Kyle Gibson (Audacity), Chelsea Brown (Summer Twins), Camron and Brayden Ward (The Lovely Bad Things), and Pookie (Pookie and the Poodlez). With all of the thick smoke in the air it seemed more like a dispensary rather than a record store, however, the night was still inherently about the music.
Emotional, the side project of Brian Wakefield of San Franciscan band Melted Toys, was the first set of the night. It was my second time seeing Emotional perform at Burger and once again I was blown away by the sweet melodies of Wakefield's guitar and his dreamy vocals. The best song of the set, hands down, was "Grass to Pass the Time," which is clearly about weed. Nothing could be better than to hear a song about weed on 4/20. The rest of Emotional's set consisted of songs off the tape Feeling such as "Baby I'm So Strange" and "The One that Got Away." His songs have a great retro sound that is too surreal for anyone to understand unless you see him live in an intimate setting. Expect big things soon from Emotional.
Following Emotional was the one and only "Gnar VP," Unkle Funke, who also plays bass for White Fang. Funkle is definitely an act like no other. His songs are upbeat tunes about love consisting of heavy samples and drum machines. The set primarily featured tracks off his notorious tape Picture of My Dick such as the poppy "Jack and Jill" and infamous "Made A Mistake / Picture of My Dick." Some newer material was also played such as my favorite, "Magic Woman," which sounds like something you would hear in a Forever 21 or H&M. Its catchy lyrics and bouncy melody jive well with the perky personality of Funkle himself. He was definitely a unique act to see live.
Portland, Oregon's own, The Memories, one of the best bands out there right now, never disappoint and held true to that fact. The group is composed of Rikky Gage, Izak Arida, Kyle Handley, and Aaron Lovey, who play 60′s style ballads about love, sex, drugs, heartbreak, and anything else you can think of. Humor is their forte especially in the intros given by Rikky about his personal experiences with each song. In "Go Down On You" and "I Know What To Do" he tells of his hilarious sexual escapades. Songs such as "I Wanna Be That Guy" and "You Need A Big Man" also made the crowd laugh yet these guys are still great musicians.
Lastly, Fullerton's own, by way of Cleveland, Ohio, Gap Dream closed out the show. Clearly one of the best Burger bands of all time, Gap Dream played their dreamy stoner garage rock that is done so well it can give you a contact high. Gabriel Fulvimar's distorted vocals go great with his smooth melodies on tracks like my favorite "58th St. Fingers." Also notable were "Feast of the First Morning," which features the signature intro line of "Get That Motherfucker on the Telephone," and "Cover It Up".
Overall, it was one hell of a night being at Burger Records on 4/20 and Record Store Day watching an amazing lineup of great Burger/Gnar Tapes bands. The crowd was in good spirits and definitely gave off good vibes, which was probably due to all the weed being smoked. Nevertheless, Burger Records put on an amazing show that will surely be remembered, even by the potheads.

When Jeff Bezos, the chief executive of Amazon.com, stunned the media world by buying The Washington Post, he claimed to have no set plan for how to reverse the decline of one of the world's most storied newspapers.
But judging from his past, he has more than a few ideas.
America's latest newspaper mogul is an online visionary, a hard-core capitalist and a voracious reader (nearly always in digital formats, with the exception of cookbooks).
Mr. Bezos, whose estimated net worth is $25-billion (U.S.), built Amazon into an e-commerce leviathan from scratch. Along the way, he developed a few guiding principles: invest for the long term, pay fanatical attention to your customers and experiment often.
The emphasis on long-term thinking is a constant for Mr. Bezos. Amazon, founded in 1994, went public in 1997 and didn't turn a profit until 2001. Thirteen years ago, he founded Blue Origin, a company whose current preoccupation is building a rocket to outer space that can launch and land vertically. At a remote mountainside in Texas, Mr. Bezos, 49, is giving his philosophy a physical symbol: He is building a clock designed to last for 10,000 years.
No one expects The Washington Post to be around quite that long. But the purchase is a bet that a little patience and some deep pockets will help an iconic brand weather a rocky transition to the digital age, said Brad Stone, a journalist who has authored a forthcoming book on Amazon called The Everything Store.
Mr. Stone added that, like every new media mogul, Mr. Bezos likely has a mixture of motivations, some more high-minded than others. As Amazon continues to expand, it will be "increasingly analyzed by regulators and legislators," Mr. Stone said. "Maybe that somehow fit into his calculus as well."
Mr. Bezos runs a company where the spirit of invention is prized – even when such innovations cannibalize its existing businesses. After all, Amazon began as a book retailer that ended up launching the Kindle e-reader. "When things get complicated, we simplify by saying what's best for the customer," said Mr. Bezos in an interview earlier this year. "And then we take it as an article of faith if we do that, it'll work out the long term."
While Mr. Bezos loves to read – newspapers, non-fiction, a novel here and there – he is not sentimental about the future of the print product. Indeed, there will not be any printed newspapers 20 years from now, he predicted last November, except "maybe as luxury items in some hotels that want to offer them as an extravagant service." He also voiced skepticism about attempts to make readers pay for news online, with the exception of editions delivered via tablets.
Given Mr. Bezos's already full plate – he spends four days a week at Amazon, one day at his space venture, helps oversee a family foundation and other investments, and is the father of four children – he is not expected to involve himself in the daily running of the paper. Then again, this is the man who also continues to innovate in managing his own calendar: He no longer holds one-on-one meetings, Mr. Stone said, as a way to save time.
Editor's note: This story originally incorrectly stated that Amazon went public in 1994. In fact, the company was founded in 1994 and went public in 1997.

How many times can you talk or read about it? If the Philadelphia Phillies reported to Spring Training today, they would have no third baseman, a hole in the bullpen, and not one player that has shown that they can play any of the three outfield positions for a full season and give the team the offensive production they need. To date, Ruben Amaro Jr has done nothing to address these issues. Centerfield has been the worst of the Phillies misses so far. The Atlanta Braves bested the Phillies in the B.J. Upton sweepstakes. The Washington Nationals made a trade for a solid lead off guy and plus defensive player in Denard Span. The San Francisco Giants signed Angel Pagan to a four year deal. Michael Bourne is still out there, but he is not a good fit for the Phillies needs. Josh Hamilton is also still available, but like Bourne he is left handed and will be cost prohibitive. If the Phillies sign either player, it could blow their budget and stop them from filling their pressing needs at ...

Jimmy Harris, Mac Morrow To Run Again
Brevard Mayor Jimmy Harris and Councilman Mac Morrow announced Monday they plan to seek another term this November.
"Believing that there is more work to do, I have decided to be a part of the exciting times that will shape and sculpt this community as it increasingly becomes a 'community of choice' for investment and job growth," Harris said.
Harris was first elected in 1999 and is Brevard's longest serving mayor.
"I am generally happy with the direction that Brevard is going," he said. "I am most satisfied with the strength and reliability of our underground infrastructure that immediately places us in a position to be candidates for future job creation, growth and investment.
"The future holds complex decisions concerning water production and how the city will deliver it. I want to be involved in the building of the next water treatment plant to replace the old...one we have at reasonable and responsible costs. Without a doubt, the future of water production is one of the single most important issues facing the residents of Brevard."
Harris is one of three currently serving on the city council whose terms come to an end this November.
Councilman Rodney Locks has announced that he will not be a candidate, ending 16 years as a councilman.
"Deciding to run for mayor is a decision that I did not take lightly," Harris said. "I decided recently to offer my service to the residents of Brevard because I want to deliver on the vision, pledge and promises that I made to them that I believe will make Brevard the best place for them to live, work and invest in.
"I know that we are well on our way to completing the vision that I had in 1999 and that is the reason it is easy for me to say 'yes' to another term should the people of Brevard so desire. I have the energy and enthusiasm to continue to be the mayor of the best town in North Carolina."
Morrow has served on the council for nearly 22 years.
"I am grateful for the support and encouragement most recently when the issue of election filing has been discussed," he said. "I believe, like many, that we do live in an exceptional town and will file for reelection.
"Brevard is working hard to meet the challenge of today and tomorrow. A dedicated team of city employees and volunteer boards respond to these requirements. As a council member, the task is to try to think strategically and lead.
"Planning, be it the challenges of urban growth, water and sewer infrastructure, or preserving our natural heritage and small town charm, will be the focus of future councils."
Morrow said serving on council is a special honor.
"(I) hope I've earned the trust of our citizens in the manner in which I have served," he said. "November is just around the corner. I look forward to talking with my neighbors over the coming months about local issues and seeking their support in the upcoming election."
Filing for November's municipal elections in Brevard and Rosman will begin at noon on July 5.
In Rosman, the four-year terms of Aldermen J.S. Chapman, Roger Petit and Doyle Stubblefield are expiring.
The filing period will end at noon on July 19.
A $90 filing fee is required for those seeking to be Brevard mayor, and a $47 fee for those running for council. In Rosman, the filing fee is $21.

NEW YORK — The board of directors of the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers' Association (LIMA) has selected Bernard Leifer, president and CEO of The SG Companies, for induction into the LIMA Licensing Industry Hall of Fame.
The induction will take place at the annual LIMA Awards Ceremony on June 18, 2013 during the industry's main event, Licensing Expo 2013, in Las Vegas.
"The Licensing Industry Hall of Fame is comprised of the most highly-respected and accomplished professionals in the business – and Bernie Leifer exemplifies the character and dedication necessary to be placed among them," said LIMA president Charles Riotto. "For more than 20 years, Bernie has left an indelible mark both on our organization and the industry as a whole, and we are delighted to honor him with this well-deserved recognition."
In 1953, The SG Companies (formerly S. Goldberg) was the first to acquire a license in the footwear category and, under Leifer's stewardship, continues to be an industry leader in the application of licensed brands, with more than 50 in the company's current portfolio. In 2006, he added apparel through the formation of the SGI Apparel Group, once again recognizing that licensing would play a critical role in the success of the division. The division has charted tremendous growth in the past six years and holds licenses for numerous premiere properties. In addition, Leifer was a visionary in recognizing the impact licensing could have when rooted in cause-related programs. In 2008, The SG Companies teamed up with the National Breast Cancer Foundation and, to date, has contributed in excess of $100,000 which was attained from a 10% royalty paid on every pair of shoes sold.
Leifer was a dedicated member of the LIMA board of directors for two terms, as well as serving on the executive committee and as LIMA chairman from 2008 to 2010. In addition, Leifer serves as chairman of the American Apparel & Footwear Association, working with policymakers in Washington, D.C. in all matters of international trade.

Exploring Երևան and کراچی in Google Earth
June 25th, 2009 | Published in Google Earth
Over the past several months, the Google Earth Vector Team has been updating the 'Populated Places' and 'Alternative Place Names' layers in Google Earth. The alternative names show a place name in the local language and script. You can view Greek cities written in the Greek alphabet, Armenian in the Armenian alphabet, and Bulgarian in Cyrillic. Try flying to Japan, South Korea, China, Thailand, India or Pakistan. You'll see cities written as they are on local maps. This greatly enriches the browsing experience in Google Earth by showing part of the unique regional culture. This feature becomes a valuable asset when planning travel or trying to find your way around abroad.
With the success of Google Map Maker in many countries of the world, users have created an enormous amount of accurate city, town, and village names (not to mention roads and points of interest), and this user generated data is being used by both Google Earth and Google Maps. We treat you as local experts, who provide names in many scripts and languages. The result is a detailed and enriched map that benefits everyone. Our place names for India, Pakistan, and Armenia have all come from Map Maker. With Google Earth's multilingual support, you copy and paste the place names in the blog post title and see where you land.
We recently added a large number of Chinese small town and village names in English as well as the Simplified and Traditional Chinese languages. This brings in the high quality and coverage of Google Maps - China to Google Earth for the first time. We also updated Egypt and Jordan with Arabic names to match the quality we have in Lebanon.
It is important to Google to have the best possible data for our geo products like Google Earth and Google Maps. Keep updating Map Maker with the places you know, and revisit Google Earth for more updates coming soon!

Taking a sick baby to hospital led to a lucky escape for a young woman after a car smashed into her bedroom.
The Otara woman's father said she and her partner were "lucky they weren't at home" after the car caused the master bedroom of their south Auckland house to partly collapse.
The woman was at hospital with her sick baby, while her partner was working a night shift when three teenagers crashed into the Otara house in a stolen Subaru about 4.20am.
The 16-year-old driver is believed to have died on impact, while his two teen passengers were taken to Middlemore Hospital in serious but stable condition.
The corner of the house, on the corner of Franklyne Road and Alexander Crescent, collapsed onto the car, trapping the driver and one passenger inside.
Police said the car had been stolen overnight, but officers were not in pursuit at the time of the crash.
It is not yet known whether alcohol was a factor.
The woman resident's, Sano Tamasese, said his daughter was "lucky" not to be at home.
Everything in the bedroom had been destroyed, and this morning he was waiting to see whether he would be able to salvage anything from elsewhere in the house, including a new suite of furniture and a flat screen television recently bought.
Mr Tamasese said his daughter had complained about boy racers in the area.
Fire crews were this morning removing tiles and parts of the front walls of the house in a bid to free the car, which still contained the body of the deceased teen.
Housing New Zealand said it had provided accommodation for both tenants of the house, which was split into two units. The family have accepted a property in Mangere, a spokeswoman said.
A structural engineer was due to assess the house this afternoon to ascertain whether it can be saved.
In the meantime a 2m fence has been erected and 24 hour security put in place to protect the property.
The teen driver killed in the crash is believed to have lived only doors down from the scene.
A neighbour across the street ran to the aid of the three teenagers, after being woken by the sound of the vehicle, but was unable to save the driver.
"I looked out the window and saw the car hit into the house," said 18-year-old Katai Liu.
His sister rang emergency services while he ran to help the car's occupants.
"One of the passengers came out screaming for help ... I managed to pull the other passenger, not right out of the car, but to safety, so the ambulance people's job would be easier."
Mr Liu described the situation as "scary".
He said the deceased boy had been two years below him in school, and described him as a nice guy who was "easy to get on with".
"I just wish I could have done more for [him]," Mr Liu said.
One woman, Eni Naniseni, whose son went to school with the boys in the crash, said it was a "sad" day.
"It's really sad. I knew all those kids from when they were young and they all went to kindy with my son," she said. "And now his life has been taken under the age of 17, it's not good."


text: I agree with the others that either way is fine. If the design of the quilt clearly has a top and bottom, then I think I would want the bottom border quilting to be right-side-up when the quilt is hanging on a wall (your way), but if the quilt is top-bottom symmetric then I would expect that the top and bottom borders would also be symmetric (DH's way). If the top-bottom are symmetric then you also have the option of flipping the quilt either way on the bed, so it makes more sense to have the borders symmetric.


text: This news item expired on Tuesday, December 31, 2013 so the information below could be outdated or incorrect. Don't carelessly endanger your life - stay off the railroad tracks! People seem to think, "It could never happen to me, I can hear the train coming - I can get out of the way in time." Well, it can happen to you. There have been many injuries and deaths that could have easily been prevented if people avoided railroad tracks. Check out this video to learn more. Walking on the railroad tracks is not only against the law, it's also dangerous. What if your foot got caught in the tracks, or you are walking across a trestle and a train is bearing down on you? Would it be worth it? Train engineers are mortified at the number of people they see walking on the railroad tracks and especially the number of people who walk or jog with their headphones on. There have been too many close calls to count, and numerous deaths. See videos. Think of how it would feel if you were doing everything you can to stop an 8,000 ton train to keep killing someone? Your heart is racing as you continuously blast the horn, the train is sliding towards them and you are praying that they will realize you are there and get out of the way in time. Many people have said to themselves, "I thought I had the music turned low enough to hear a train coming." Being mistaken could cost you your life. Do you really want to take that chance? Please remember: Stay away from Railroad tracks, trestles, yards and equipment. They are private property and trespassers are subject to arrest and fine. It can take a mile or more to stop a train. A locomotive engineer who suddenly spots you ahead has little chance to miss you. Trains overhang the tracks by at least three feet in both directions and loose straps hanging from rail cars may extend even further. If you are in the right-of-way next to the tracks, you can be hit by the train. The only safe place to cross is at a designated public crossing with either a crossbuck, flashing red lights or a gate. If you cross at any other place, you are trespassing and can be ticketed or fined. Do not cross the tracks immediately after a train passes. A second train might be blocked by the first. Trains can come from either direction. Wait until you can see clearly around the first train in both directions. DO NOT cross the tracks until the lights have stopped flashing and it is safe to do so. Flashing red lights signal that a train is approaching from either direction. You can be fined for failure to obey these signals. Never walk around or behind lowered gates at a crossing. If you are in a rail yard uninvited, you are trespassing and subject to criminal prosecution. The worst penalty is death. DO NOT hunt, fish or bungee jump from railroad trestles. There is only enough clearance on the tracks for a train to pass. Trestles are not meant to be sidewalks or pedestrian bridges! DO NOT attempt to hop aboard railroad equipment at any time. A slip of the foot can cost you a limb or your life. Be aware trains do not follow set schedules. Any time is train time! Do not walk, run, cycle or operate all terrain vehicles (ATVs) on railroad tracks or rights-of-way or through tunnels. "North Carolina is, unfortunately, sixth in the nation with trains and trespassing injuries," said Vivian Speight-Bridges, the state director of Operation Lifesaver. "People need to know the potential hazards presented to trespassers. Trains can't swerve or stop to miss you. Although trains are huge machines, environmental conditions can muffle sounds and they can approach you without your knowledge. Flying debris, banding and tie-down devices that have become unsecured can strike anyone within the right-of-way." For more information on railroad safety and North Carolina's Operation Lifesaver, visit www.ncol.org or call (919) 831-3006.

Her appointments provide countless opportunities to champion the priorities of SD 21, the heart of the Eagle Ford Shale, which has generated billions of dollars in economic activity for our state. As Senate Chair of the Eagle Ford Shale Legislative Caucus, Senator Zaffirini prioritizes the district's continued prosperity, and as Vice Chair of the Natural Resources and Economic Development Committee and of the Energy Council since 2009, she promotes responsible, sustainable development of Texas' energy resources. What's more, she helps protect and conserve the district's air, land, and water resources such as the Rio Grande, the Edwards Aquifer, and the Gulf of Mexico.

Her legendary work ethic is reflected in her 100 percent voting record, having cast more than 55,660 consecutive votes, and her perfect attendance in the Texas Senate since 1987, except for breaking quorum deliberately to prevent an untimely re-redistricting that the U.S. Supreme Court (2006) ruled violated the Voting Rights Act and disenfranchised voters in SD 21. She has sponsored and passed 895 bills and 52 substantive resolutions. Showing her bipartisan effectiveness, in the 2015 Republican-dominated Texas Legislature she passed 102 bills, breaking her personal record and passing more bills than any other legislator that year.

Interestingly, she was named Sister Judith, an Honorary Nun, by the Sisters of Mercy and Mercy Ministries and Mr. South Texas by the Washington's Birthday Celebration Association.
The senator is the namesake of Laredo Community College's Senator Judith Zaffirini Library and Texas A&M International University's Senator Judith Zaffirini Student Success Center, as well as of the Senator Judith Zaffirini Road and Senator Judith Zaffirini Elementary School in Laredo and the AAMA Judith Zaffirini Residential Center in Edinburg. Her son, Carlos Jr., endowed scholarships in her name at The University of Texas at Austin, Baylor College of Medicine, and Texas A&M International University. He also established the Carlos Sr. and Senator Judith Zaffirini Access to Justice Initiative, which pays for bar review courses and exam fees for low-income UT law school graduates who, in turn, will represent low-income clients. What's more, the Beaumont Foundation endowed a scholarship honoring Senator Zaffirini and her husband at A&M International, where the annual Senator Judith Zaffirini Medal is presented to faculty and students who excel in scholarship and leadership. The senator is featured in 25 books and referenced in 19.
Dr. Zaffirini is an award-winning communication specialist with 13 years of teaching experience, including at the college and university levels.

A distinguished communicator, educator, businessperson, and leader, she holds B.S., M.A., and PhD degrees from UT-Austin, each with a 3.9 grade-point average.

Waterfall Model is the least complicated, oldest and most commonly used process model. In this model, every phase of the life cycle is finalized prior to the beginning of a fresh phase. It's actually the 1st engineering approach of software development. The waterfall model offers a organized and step by step way of software development and it's much better than the build and fix approach. However, in this model, full requirements should be available at the time of beginning of the project, however in real practice, the requirements continue to develop throughout various phases. The water fall model can support the new requirements solely in maintenance phase. Furthermore, it doesn't include any type of risk assessment. In waterfall model, a functional model of software is unavailable. Hence, there isn't any strategy to assess the issues of software in between different phases.
Watch a video Waterfall Model and its Phases
In original waterfall model, the following phases are followed in order:
- Requirements specification
- Design
- Construction (AKA implementation or coding)
- Integration
- Testing and debugging (AKA Validation)
- Installation
- Maintenance
Criticism of Waterfall Model
Many debate the waterfall model is actually a poor concept in practice-believing it not possible for any non-trivial project to complete a phase of a software product's lifecycle flawlessly prior to heading to another phase and gaining knowledge from them. For instance, customers might not know specifically what requirements they want before looking at a functional model and commenting on it. They might alter their demands constantly. Designers and programmers may have minimal control over this. If customers adjust their requirements after the design is finished, the design has to be altered to allow for the latest requirements. This effectively means invalidating a great deal of working hours, meaning elevated cost, particularly when a substantial amount the project's resources has already been committed to Big Design Up Front.

Annual Meeting- 2000

MFA Annual Meeting took place at Alberta, Michigan, a former sawmill town located about 13 miles south of L'Anse, Michigan. Alberta was built as a model town by Henry Ford. Henry Ford purchased several sawmills and communities for his car building business. Alberta is unique in that there was nothing there until Henry decided it would make a good location for a sawmill and a community for his employees. So Henry built the town complete with sawmill, about a dozen homes and two school buildings for children of his workers... a complete community for one of his U.P. operations. Here are some photos of the meeting and the town:

Champaign County authorities seek:
Name: Julio Reyes.
Age: 22.
Last address: Cherry Orchard Apartments, rural Rantoul.
Wanted for: Failure to report accident involving injury or death.
Description: White male, 5 feet 7 inches, 125 pounds, brown hair, brown eyes.
Anyone with information should call Crimestoppers at 373-8477. Tips can also be sent at http://www.373tips.com [3] or by text by sending Tip397 plus the tip to CRIMES (274637).
White male? Are you sure?
Let me play Anthropology teacher since you didn't listen in school. Mexicans are NATIVE AMERICANS, WHITE. Spanish, and latin american migrants are CAUCASIAN, WHITE.
I'm glad you listened in your anthropology class. However...if this description did not have a previous mugshot with it people would assume the man they are looking for is caucasion. I am going out on a limb here but I was under the impression that the purpose of a description is to find the person. To do that the description should be ACCURATE. (I CAN WRITE IN ALL CAPS TOO).
What you're not getting here is the man is white. Mexican and hispanic are nationalities. Latino is a wild made up term. The mans skin color is white.
Then why on the Champaign inmate list do they list latinos as wh? ( white hispanic)
WH seems to make more sense.
Light brown skin complexion male, 5 foot and 7 inches tall, 125 pounds weight, brown hair, brown eyes, and goes by the name of Julio Reyes. With diversity increasing, the old way of describing individuals will not work. What if Tiger Woods was a fugitive? People do not fit into racial categories any more. I have met very few "white people" except those who were albino. Most "white people" are shades of pink, red, or tan.
Well, surely we can all agree the man is not purple.

The relocation of a Kiwibank service centre to Hastings may cause other large New Zealand and Australian companies to follow suit, says Hastings Mayor Lawrence Yule.
Negotiations were "full steam ahead" for Kiwibank to occupy its new office in central Hastings by October this year, with the creation of 100 jobs expected, and now two other companies had expressed interest in relocating to Hastings, Mr Yule said yesterday.
"The Kiwibank story has made people aware that we are offering a very attractive package, and now a couple of other corporates are seriously interested," he said.
Mr Yule had received expressions of interest from two other large companies, which were considering relocating service centres to Hastings.
"The package we're offering is very attractive,' Mr Yule said. "We're offering commercial space at very competitive rates, and our buildings have good earthquake ratings. Hastings CBD is very safe from natural hazards such as liquefaction."
Mr Yule said a lack of existing service centres in the region was attractive to companies looking to relocate. "In Palmerston North, for example, there are nine call centres and that creates a costly 'churn' effect whereby staff undergo training at one call centre and then move to another.
"In Hastings that wouldn't be an issue."
Mr Yule said the relocation of a Kiwibank service centre to Hastings this year would bring palpable benefits to the region.
"It [the Kiwibank relocation] will bring substantial benefits to the region, not only for the families who will move here but the new employment opportunities as well," he said.
The idea to actively market Hawke's Bay as a prime relocation venue to large New Zealand and Australian companies was sown by businessman Rod Drury in late 2012.
The founder and chief executive of internet-based accounting software company Xero met Mr Yule, then Nelson mayor Aldo Miccio and telecommunications experts to plan a package deal to attract large Australian firms last year.

August 26, 2013
By Ed Vlcek
Look how desire has changed in you,
how light and colorless it is,
with the world growing new marvels
because of your changing.
Your soul has become an invisible bee.
We don't see it working,
but there's the full honeycomb.
It may seem a bit unusual for a Shimerian to choose to learn the fine art of beekeeping, but I have for years had a fascination with agriculture and the bugs that make it happen. I chose to intern as an urban beekeeper as a way to explore how we can alter the content of our daily lives, practically, in immediate (and often delicious) ways.
I started the first day of my internship with the Chicago Honey Co-op, a cooperative urban beekeeping endeavor with hives all over Chicago, by going to the thrift store. My mentor told me earlier in the week that I needed to wear light colored clothing (which he later explained had to do with the fact that throughout the evolutionary life of bees they have been attacked by animals with dark colored clothing), but I realized that I, in fact, did not have any. I searched the aisles endlessly, but couldn't figure out what to do - should I get a long-sleeved white shirt, or a brown coat? Cotton or polyester? Unable to make the decision, I got a blue raincoat I had been meaning to get anyways, and walked away without a single piece of light colored clothing. In the end I went in the gray brown flannel I was already wearing. Maybe it was mildly offensive to the bees, but they were not immediately compelled to sting me, and it covered my arms pretty well.
The honeybee typically swarms in the spring when new brood (bee babies) is being laid. When a new queen has hatched out and challenged the authority of the old queen, the old queen leaves, and over half the hive can and often does go along with her. They will follow her wherever she goes, and this time she decided to land on a tree. Fascinatingly, the queen bee and the worker bee are genetically identical. It is only because of the 'royal jelly' the worker bees feed her in her development that she becomes a queen.
To clarify, all worker bees are sexually immature females. The queen is a mated, mature female, and the 'drone' bees are males, whose only function is to fertilize the queen. All hive and child care, including food forage, repairs, and everything else barring actual reproduction, is done by the female workers. The queen can lay up to 2,000 eggs a day, most of which are workers, who live for about 3 and a half weeks. The hive is constantly reconstituting itself, and so the swarm is a natural expanding function – a way to create more hives from a healthy queen. Some Biodynamic beekeepers suggest that swarming is so fundamental to bee life that it should be allowed to happen, but this is not a common practice. Most beekeepers are very careful to destroy queen cells before they develop larvae, and thus limit the chance of swarming.
We find ourselves, at the hive, at a fascinating interface between the human creative process and nature's processes, as well as the poetic and the scientific. We have lived with bees for so long, and we have perhaps begun to think that we know what they need, and what is best for them. But as they provide us with the gift of honey, we forget that the bee is not a machine that can be fixed or broken – they are living like us, only in a very different way.
Something about being with bees makes one reflect on these things. Maybe it is the hardly audible humming, or their peaceful nature, or maybe it's the hot sun, but every day I spend with the bees I feel a little more centered. My guide is in some ways the same as them – he has something of a bee nature, and his way of approaching the world easily rubs off.

Do all families have to return the income application?
No, households are not required to return income applications. The State recommends that the center board, or center owner determine if it would be in the best interests of the center to require return of income applications from all families of enrolled children. If this is required, there is no reason to collect income information from ineligible families, they may just sign and date the application and write NA or not eligible and then return the application to the center.

The Three-Pointer: One Celtics play says so much
|12.10.10 at 12:29 am ET
It was just one play, lasting 5.2 seconds, yet it said so much about the 2010-11 Celtics.
Not many coaches have the smarts (or the cojones) to draw up a game-winning alley-oop with 6.6 seconds left. But the Celtics have Doc Rivers ' one of the best coaches in the business at designing plays following a timeout ' and he had the script that resulted in a 102-101 Celtics win over the 76ers in his back pocket all along.
"We worked on the whole timing of it last week," Rivers told reporters. "We tried to run it earlier in the year, and we had bad timing, so it's just funny how things worked out. It's a low-clock play, the ball is in the best passer's hands, and you have shooters on the floor. … It worked."
Not many point guards can throw a perfect blind lob over a taller defender in the final moments of a game. But the Celtics have Rajon Rondo, who picked up his 14th assist of the night with 1.4 seconds left when he dropped a pretty pass over the heads of Thaddeus Young and Jrue Holiday that led to the basket that resulted in his team's ninth consecutive victory.
Not many post players have the length and athleticism to get from the top of the key to the rim in a blink of an eye. But the Celtics have a healthy Kevin Garnett, who rolled to the basket, caught the lob pass and converted it all in one fluid motion to improve the C's Eastern Conference-best record to 18-4.
"Last year, Kevin would've missed the lob," Rivers added. "Actually, we wouldn't have thrown it. We can do it now."
And not many teams have three deadly shooters who opponents absolutely have to respect in the waning seconds of a one-point game. But the Celtics have Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Nate Robinson, who all hovered around the 3-point line ' drawing Andre Iguadola, Jodie Meeks and Louis Williams from the basket and allowing Rivers' design to play out on the floor.
"It was just a gutsy win for us," said Rivers. "They played great, and we stole one."
Yup, not many teams can steal a road victory when their starting center is in street clothes and their starting point guard is hobbled by nagging injuries on the second night of a back-to-back. But these Celtics did, which is something the 2009-10 team could not.
Two of the Celtics' four losses this season came on the road on the second night of a back-to-back, which makes Thursday's win over the 76ers all the more impressive. Boston appeared to recognize that fact, since their postgame celebration seemed more like a playoff win than a regular-season victory against a 7-15 Philadelphia team.
While the Celtics looked disinterested at the start, their effort couldn't be questioned as the game wore on. Rondo totaled 19 points and 14 assists in 47 minutes, despite playing with a sore hamstring and aching feet (Celtics broadcaster Donny Marshall also alluded to a possible knee issue). Pierce had 10 points and eight rebounds in 40 minutes, despite feeling under the weather all night. And Robinson netted nine points in 21 energetic minutes off the bench, despite having sore feet himself.
"It hurts, but when Doc calls my name, I've got to be ready," Robinson said after Wednesday's win over the Nuggets. "I don't even think about my feet then. When it's in the game, it's in the game. I tie my feet up as tight as I can, I've got tape, everything, I've got booties on the side and in between, so I mean, hey, whatever it takes."
One guy who couldn't play through injury on Thursday was Shaquille O'Neal, who sat out with calf and knee pain. Semih Erden started in his place, producing eight points and three rebounds.
It's not easily quantified, but Rondo's jump shot has looked improved this season. His 3-point shot could still use work, as he sits at 27.3 percent from beyond the arc this season, but he's quietly added a pull-up jumper off the dribble from 15 to 20 feet to his arsenal.
Rondo finished 2-for-2 from that range against the 76ers. And at least one person is taking notice.
"I was telling Rod Thorn how much improved this kid is with his outside shooting, and he looked at me like I'm crazy," said Celtics color analyst Tommy Heinsohn. "And you know how crazy I can be."

Obama Administration May Thwart Climate Talks, Groups Say
The U.S. is threatening to block progress at climate treaty talks three years after President Barack Obama pledged to usher in a new era of cooperation in fighting global warming, U.S. environmental leaders say.
The heads of more than a dozen organizations want Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to order U.S. officials at climate talks in Durban, South Africa, to show more flexibility on efforts to craft a new, legally binding global climate accord, according to a Nov. 29 letter that the groups sent to Clinton.
The criticism marks the U.S. environmental movement's strongest rebuke yet of Obama's climate policies. In one of his first speeches after winning the 2008 election, Obama pledged to "engage vigorously" in global climate talks and help lead countries in a push to cut greenhouse-gas emissions and avert irreversible, human-induced climate shifts.
"Three years later, America risks being viewed not as a global leader on climate change, but as a major obstacle to progress," according to the letter from groups including the Natural Resources Defense Council, Union of Concerned Scientists, Environmental Defense Fund and Sierra Club.
The U.S. is "committed to meeting the climate challenge," Obama's lead climate negotiator, Todd Stern, said in an e-mailed statement today.
"There is, of course, much more to be done, but we have made an important start," Stern said, referring to a nonbinding climate agreement reached in Cancun, Mexico, last year that includes actions from all the world's biggest greenhouse-gas emitters.
'Legal Symmetry'
U.S. officials at United Nations-led talks in Durban have rejected the European Union's proposal to negotiate a new legally binding climate treaty for all countries by 2015 and have it take effect no later than 2020. The EU say it won't participate in a second phase of the existing Kyoto Protocol unless countries agree to a "road map" to 2015.
The U.S. says preconditions must be met before it begins talks for a binding accord. These include "legal symmetry," or ensuring that developed countries and fast-growing nations such as China and India take on equivalent obligations.
China's lead negotiator, Su Wei, said in an interview yesterday that it's too early to say whether China would be willing to accept a legally binding commitment after 2020.
Su also said it's essential for industrial nations to sign up for another round of emissions reductions under Kyoto, whose first phase of limits expire next year. Japan, Canada and Russia already have rejected extending the treaty.
Biggest Threat
While the U.S. is the only industrialized country never to ratify Kyoto and says it won't weigh in on those negotiations, the Obama administration's opposition to negotiating a new binding deal under current conditions may be the biggest threat to the treaty's fate.
"The U.S. is a key block in this 'Kyoto Triangle' in Durban," NRDC's Jake Schmidt said in an interview. "To move ahead you have to get the U.S. to back off its position and accept a vague mandate."
Environmentalists say the U.S. is being unnecessarily obstinate and should show more flexibility.
"The U.S. should be working with the EU, China and others to make this type of mandate possible, not rejecting it out of hand because it doesn't guarantee all of the U.S. negotiating objections," the letter to Clinton says. "The U.S. shouldn't require countries to agree to the specific parameters of the final agreement before negotiations even begin."
The U.S.'s position affects other countries' willingness to forge a new global accord aimed at averting dangerous climate change, according to Brazil's chief climate negotiator, Andre Correa do Lago.
U.S. Absence
"No other party wants to get involved in some kind of negotiation that will end with the absence of the United States," he said in an interview today from Durban.
Environmental groups also claim that the U.S.'s stance on climate finance may cause the talks to fail. The U.S. is seen as potentially blocking efforts to move ahead on an agreement to raise $100 billion a year from developed countries by 2020 and establish a Green Climate Fund to help vulnerable countries combat climate change.
Stern told reporters in Washington last week that such concerns are unwarranted.
"The U.S. is a strong advocate of the Green Climate Fund," he said on Nov. 22.
The U.S., along with Saudi Arabia, was seen by some environmental advocates as blocking a UN committee's report on recommendations for the fund. Stern said the U.S. had issues with some aspects of the report though he's "confident" they will be worked out during the two-week talks.
The report, which has been submitted to the UN body overseeing climate issues though not adopted, will be discussed today in Durban.
The U.S. says its priority in Durban is working to advance a political agreement reached last year in Cancun, Mexico, that includes actions from all major greenhouse-gas emitters through 2020. U.S. negotiator Jonathan Pershing told reporters on Nov. 28 that the Cancun plan could possibly become the foundation for a new post-2020 climate deal.

Kids pepper sprayed by man
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Colorado Springs Police officers are looking for a man who may have sprayed four 13-year-old boys with pepper spray.
Investigators say the teens were playing in the playground at the Enfield Apartments, 3009 Illinois Av. Another 8 year-old boy was also playing in the playground. The 8 year-old and one of the 13 year-olds got into a verbal argument and the 13 year-old may have assaulted the 8 year-old. The boys then left. A few minutes later, a gold colored vehicle pulled up to the teens in the area of 2nd St and Virginia Av. The female passenger yelled obscenities at them and then the male driver got out of the vehicle, chastised the boys for assaulting his son, and sprayed the boys with a chemical irritant, possibly pepper spray.

President Barack Obama's economic adviser on Friday defended the administration's efforts to rescue banks, insurance companies and car makers, saying the actions were taken out of "necessity, not choice."
Lawrence Summers' remarks come after government bailouts of insurance giant American International Group Inc., Citigroup Inc. and other banks, General Motors Corp. and Chrysler LLC have put billions of taxpayer dollars at risk, and in some cases provoked public outrage.
In a speech to the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, Summers said the government has intervened to avoid further damage to the economy and financial markets.
"We act only when necessary to avert unacceptable — and in some cases dire — outcomes," the director of the White House National Economic Council said. The president "did not run ... to manage banks, insurance companies or car manufacturers. The actions we take are those of necessity, not choice."
The focus is to ensure that such intervention is temporary, based on market principles and "minimally intrusive," Summers said.
On the economy, Summers used slowing job losses and rising consumer and business sentiment to suggest that the worst of the recession has passed.
"While we still have a long way to go, the sense of free-fall that surrounded any reading of economic statistics a few months ago is no longer present," he said.
While crediting the president's stimulus package of increased government spending and tax cuts for contributing to the economic improvements, Summers warned that policymakers can't be complacent.
"There have already been several false dawns during this crisis," he said.
Summers made a pitch for revamping the nation's regulatory structure to better guard against future financial crises. Reiterating the administration's stated plan, he called for a regulator to police big, globally interconnected financial companies whose failure would endanger the economy and a system to safely wind down such firms on the verge of collapse.

Summers says financial rescues were 'necessity'

London - South Africa's Kevin Anderson advanced to the quarter-finals at Queen's for the first time after defeating Spanish fifth seed Feliciano Lopez 7-6 (12/10), 7-6 (9/7) in the third round on Thursday.
Anderson, seeded ninth, had never been past the last 16 in his previous four visits to the pre-Wimbledon warm-up event in west London, but he finally broke that sequence with an impressive victory over world No 17 Lopez.
The big-serving Anderson had seen off James Ward in the first round of the grass-court tournament and received an easier than expected second round win when Sergiy Stakhovsky was forced to withdraw with an injury in the final set.
At a towering 6ft 8in, Anderson can fire down serves with a potent combination of high bounce and fearsome power and, with his ground-strokes also improving, he has risen to 30th in the world rankings.
The 26-year-old won the second ATP title of his career at Delray Beach in February and he was in the groove from the start against Lopez.
Lopez has solid grass-court pedigree, reaching the Queen's semi-finals in 2010 and the Wimbledon quarter-finals last year, but he fell behind against Anderson as the South African broke for a 3-1 lead.
Anderson's nerve failed him as he served for the set and Lopez took advantage to break back.
It took an epic tie-break to settle the set and Anderson's composure held this time as he saved three set points before finishing it on his third set point.
The second set followed the same pattern and again it required a tense tie-break.
After missing his first match point, Anderson finally ended Lopez's resistance to set up a quarter-final clash with Bulgaria's Grigor Dimitrov.
Dimitrov ended giant-killer Nicolas Mahut's hopes of emulating his 2007 Queen's final appearance with a 7-6 (7/3), 6-4 victory.
Mahut had shocked world No 4 Andy Murray in the second round on Wednesday, but the Frenchman, who defeated Rafael Nadal en route to the final here five years ago, suffered a let-down against Dimitrov.
The 30-year-old admitted after beating Murray that he is keen to be known for more than his losing role in the longest match in tennis history against John Isner at Wimbledon in 2010.
Another long run at Queen's would have helped that aim but, despite breaking for a 4-3 lead in the first set, he couldn't finish off the gritty Dimitrov, who saved a set point at 4-5 with a lunging volley before converting his seventh break point of the game.
Dimitrov is regarded as one of the more talented youngsters on the ATP Tour and the 21-year-old underlined his potential with a dominant display to take the first set tie-break.
He pressed home his advantage with a break for a 3-2 lead in the second set and that was enough to see him through to the last eight in his first Queen's appearance.
