Jags Rally Past Cajuns, 9-6
South Alabama is nationally ranked, has a top 20 RPI and leads the Sun Belt Conference.
Saturday night, Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns found out why.
The Jaguars roared back from an early six run deficit and Anthony Izzo pitched seven innings of scoreless relief as South Alabama defeated Louisiana 9-6 before 2,821 at M. L. "Tigue" Moore Field.
Nolan Earley's three run home off Cajuns' starter Austin Robichaux capped a four run sixth inning to get the Jags within a run, and Dustin Dalken's two run homer to the opposite field off reliever Ryan Wilson (3-4) highlighted a four run eighth which put the game away.
Izzio (1-0) meanwhile, was superb out of the bullpen, allowing only five base runners after coming in with two out in the second inning and his team already down 6-0. The righthander, who was South Alabama's Friday night starter on the opening weekend of the season, threw 79 pitches and allowed only two runners to get into scoring position.
The Cajuns (34-16, 15-10 Sun Belt) got to USA starter Jarron Cito in the second inning when Blake Trahan led off with a walk and stole second. Dylan Butler then singled home Trahan to get the Cajuns on the board and went to second on the throw home. Three batters later, Dex Kjerstad delivered Butler with a two out single and stole second. Ryan Leonards then hit a sharp grounder which was booted by Jags' shortstop Graham Odom, allowing Kjerstad to score. Leonards stole second and came home on Seth Harrison's RBI single, and after Tyler Girouard walked, Cito's wild pitch moved the runners to second and third. Caleb Adams then laced a two run single to right to make it 6-0.
Robichaux cruised through the first four innings, allowing just two hits. But South Alabama (18-13, 18-7) got on the board in the fifth on Nolan Earley's double and an RBI single by Dalken. Robichaux got the first two outs in the sixth, but Bud Collura singled, Jordan Patterson walked and Nick Zaharion singled to make the score 6-2 before Earley delivered his second homer of the year, a three run shot to right center to cut the Cajuns' lead to 6-5 and end Robichaux's night.
Wilson kept the Jaguars scoreless until the eighth, when Zaharion singled and came home on Dalken's seventh homer of the season, over the wall in left field to give the Jags the lead for good. Whitt Dorsey was hit by a pitch, which ended Wilson's night. Reliever Matt Hicks walked Robby Campbell and a passed ball moved the runners to second and third. Blake Trahan threw out Odom after holding the runners, but Jeff DeBlieux singled to plate both runners for the final score.
Izzio allowed a two out single by Harrison in the fourth, a leadoff hit by Girouard in the fifth, and a two out double by Jace Conrad in the sixth. Leonards singled to lead off the seventh and was sacrified by Harrison. But Izzio got Girouard on a grounder to second and Adams on a grounder to short to end the threat.
After Izzio walked Leonards with two out in the ninth, reliever Dylan Stamey struck out Harrison to end the game and record his fourth save of the season.
The two teams will play a Mothers' Day doubleheader tomorrow afternoon at 1pm

Jets, Giants Make 2006 NFL Draft Interesting
By Michael Avallone
Sports Columnist
It had the usual dramatic moments and surprises. The 2006 NFL Draft was force-fed to fans virtually everyday on ESPN for weeks so by the time the big day came, it was almost anti-climactic. While a lot of the local talk surrounded the Jets and whether they would take Matt Leinart (they didn't) or D'Brickashaw Ferguson (they did), the Giants had an interesting weekend in their own right. Here's a breakdown of both Big Blue and Gang Green's drafts....
New York Jets
Round 1 (4) - D'Brickashaw Ferguson, T, Virginia
The fans may have dreamed about Reggie Bush or Matt Leinart, but it was no secret that this was the guy the Jets wanted for quite some time. The Long Island native has the foot speed and quickness to deal with edge rushers, and also can pull and be the lead blocker on sweeps. The Jets also believe he has the personality and mentality to deal with the pressure of being a high draft pick on a large stage.
Round 1 (29) - Nick Mangold, C, Ohio State: Mangold is very similar to former Jet Kevin Mawae, a very intelligent center who also has the quickness to get out and act as a lead blocker on sweeps. He made all the offensive-line calls for the Buckeyes, much the way Mawae did when he was a Jet.
Round 2 (49) - Kellen Clemens, QB, Oregon: The Jets had traded down to the 53rd pick in the second round, but then traded back up to 49 to make sure they got Clemens. They were impressed with him ever since they worked him out earlier in April, and are convinced he is fully recovered from a broken left ankle that ended his senior season in late October. Much like Leinart, his arm strength has been questioned. The Jets like his intangibles and leadership qualities. Instead of sulking after his season-ending injury, he mentored his two replacements.
Round 3 (76) - Anthony Schlegel, LB, Ohio State: A bit of a surprising pick, he may have been a somewhat of a reach to be picked this early in the third round. Obviously, coach Eric Mangini is stockpiling linebackers as he switches to a 3-4 base defense. Schlegel is a hard hitter who is a very solid player between the tackles, but his suspect athleticism makes his ability to play in space a question mark.
Round 3 (97) - Eric Smith, SS, Michigan State: Smith is considered to be a very good tackler, but his coverage skills are questionable and he is not a playmaker. He is a very intelligent player with a terrific work ethic, and that plus his tackling ability would seem to make him an excellent candidate for the special teams.
Round 4 (103) - Brad Smith, WR, Missouri: Their first pick of Day 2 is potentially the Jets' most intriguing. Smith, a standout QB at Missouri who initially resisted a position change, certainly has strength and athleticism, though he doesn't possess the breakaway speed of a Vince Young. If he is able to learn the new position, he could provide the Jets with a lot of interesting options. Smith twice passed for over 2,000 yards and rushed for 1,000 in a season at Mizzou.
Round 4 (117) - Leon Washington, RB, Florida : It wasn't until the 117th pick that the Jets finally addressed their need for a running back. However, because of his lack of size, Washington doesn't project as an every-down running back. The positives are that he is well-built for his size and does have breakaway potential.
Round 5 (150) - Jason Pociask, TE, Wisconsin: Pociask could turn out to be a steal. He certainly isn't a game-breaking type of tight end, with only 12 receptions as a collegian, but scouts believe he has good hands and thus has upside as a receiver. He also is a very good run-blocker, but needs to be more aggressive when running with the ball himself.
Round 6 (189) - Drew Coleman, CB, TCU: Has excellent speed and also possesses the physicality of a much bigger player, but needs to work on his tackling. Also needs work on his coverage technique. He only played two seasons at TCU after transferring from a junior college, and also has had two knee injuries, so is more of a project at this point.
Round 7 (220) - Titus Adams, DT, Nebraska: Started in both his junior and senior seasons for the Cornhuskers, and was good as a run-stopper, both inside and outside, and excellent in pursuit. However, he is not a consistent pass rusher, with only 3 1/2 sacks in his four-year Nebraska career, so Titus will need to improve in that area as he likely would project as a defensive end in the Jets' 3-4 scheme.
New York Giants
Round 1 (32) - Mathias Kiwanuka, DE, Boston College: Kiwanuka's grandfather, Benedicto, was Uganda's first prime minister, elected in 1961 and assassinated by the Idi Amin regime in 1972). Kiwanuka is a pure pass-rusher. On the surface, that isn't what the Giants needed, not with their two DEs having combined for 26 sacks last season. "You cannot have enough pass rushers," Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. "He was the best athlete on our board when we made the pick."
Round 2 (44) - Sinorice Moss, WR, Miami: He's small, but he's tough. That's the mantra the Giants will spin all summer. They'll also say he was the top-ranked wideout on their list. He has great speed and separation ability and should provide yet another deep threat for the offensively powerful Giants.
Round 3 (96) - Gerris Wilkinson, LB, Georgia Tech: He's a man with at least three positions - weak-side, middle and strong-side linebacker. He has played four positions in four years at Tech and will contribute on special teams. He might be the LB the team is looking for, someone who can be plugged in as needed.
Round 4 (124) - Barry Cofield, DT, Northwestern: Cofield was drafted for his defensive line versatility. He can play the traditional tackle position in a 4-3 defense and shift to end in the 3-4, which the Giants plan to employ to a greater extent this season. He was the Wildcats' right defensive tackle in 2004 and the left tackle last year. He started 36 of the 49 games in his career.
Round 4 (129) - Guy Whimper, T, East Carolina : He's a project and everyone involved readily admits it. "This kid is a great athlete," Giants personnel chief Jerry Reese said, "and he doesn't have a clue about how to play tackle. We think with his size, speed and athleticism we can make him a left tackle, and he is so athletically gifted he is going to help us on special teams, too."
Round 5 (158) - Charlie Peprah, S/CB, Alabama: Another player with versatility and athleticism, Peprah played cornerback his first two years with the Crimson Tide and then moved to safety. He is a strong hitter and has a knack for finding the ball. His grandfather, I.G. Achampong, was head of state of Ghana in West Africa in the 1970s.
Round 7 (232) - Gerrick McPhearson, CB, Maryland: Listed as one of the fastest CBs at the combine at 4.42 seconds in the 40, McPhearson had one interception in his four collegiate seasons. He can help on special teams as well.

Why do bad things happen? Or more specifically, if there is a God, and He is all-knowing, all-powerful and completely good, why does He allow evil to exist and for good people to suffer because of it? This is the crux of the "problem of evil," an intellectual and moral dilemma theologians and philosophers have grappled with and debated for millennia. … [Read more...]
Evil is generally defined as the opposite of good and is commonly associated with harmful events (such as destructive acts of nature) or conscious wrongdoing (via individual or group behavior). Read articles about evil below.
Perceptions of Evil – What is Evil?
One of humanity's most common theological questions is how to answer the fundamental question, "What is evil?" How can you create a working definition of evil that accounts for (1) mass genocides, atrocities like the Holocaust, or a gunman walking into an elementary school and opening fire, and (2) natural occurrences that cause mass destruction like floods, tidal waves, … [Read more...]
Satan and the Testament of Job
The Book of Job in the Hebrew bible was crafted to address human suffering and why bad things happen to good people. In it, Satan is a member of God's divine court who walks the earth looking for sin and reports back to God. When God brags about what a loyal servant Job is, Satan responds that is only so because God has blessed him with wealth, children, and health. If he did … [Read more...]
Evil and Urizen: William Blake's Visions of a Demiurge
William Blake is justifiably considered to be among the greatest of England's poets and artists. His place in the books of art history is assured despite his general disengagement from any definable movement, except perhaps romanticism, to which he belonged in spirit more than in form. Blake was professionally an engraver and acquired little acclaim for his work in his … [Read more...]
Problems in Ethical Monotheism: Why Does Evil Exist?
In Ethical Monotheist traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, there is a concept of an all-powerful, all-knowing, Creator who is morally good, just, kind, loving, and who has our best interests in mind. In the book, God, Timothy Robinson describes this God as a being who is all-powerful, all-knowing, perfectly good, and wholly benevolent; who is everlasting or … [Read more...]

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Cal 30 Wire Rope Replacement
My boat has (what I think is) the original all-wire main halyard with a winch on the starboard side of the mast.
It appears that the halyard is routed up inside the mast and exits on the starboard side of the mast bottom and then goes up to the huge winch.
I don't have a convenient way of bringing the mast down right now but want to go to a standard all rope halyard.
Has anyone does this on a Cal without changing the masthead sheave? If the sheave will accomodate the line halyard, I'd assume I could go to 7/16"?

Increasing the dose of fulvestrant from 250 mg to 500 mg improved median overall survival in women with locally advanced or metastatic estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer, according to updated data from the CONFIRM trial presented at the 2012 CTRC-AACR San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, held Dec. 4-8.
The Comparison of Faslodex in Recurrent or Metastatic Breast Cancer (CONFIRM) trial is a randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, multicenter, phase III trial of postmenopausal women with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive advanced breast cancer that recurred or progressed following endocrine therapy.
"Of note, the improvement in survival with the higher dose of fulvestrant was achieved without increasing treatment toxicity. Indeed, the dose of 500 mg had the same toxicity profile as the 250-mg dose," said Angelo Di Leo, M.D., Ph.D., head of the department of medical oncology at the Hospital of Prato, Istituto Toscano Tumori in Prato, Italy.
Between February 2005 and August 2007, researchers randomly assigned 736 women from 128 centers in 17 countries to 250 mg or 500 mg of fulvestrant and followed them until 75 percent of the patients died. At the time of analysis, 554 patients had died, 63 were lost to follow-up and 16 withdrew consent.
Among the entire study population, the 500-mg dose was associated with a clinically relevant 4.1-month difference in median overall survival compared with the lower dose: 26.4 months in the 500-mg group and 22.3 months in the 250-mg group. Researchers also saw a 19 percent reduction in risk for death in the 500-mg group compared with the 250-mg group. Serious adverse events occurred in 8.9 percent of patients who had received the 500-mg dose and in 6.7 percent of patients in the 250-mg group.
"For those postmenopausal women with recurrent or progressing ER-positive locally advanced or metastatic breast cancer for whom fulvestrant is the appropriate treatment choice, the standard of care is a 250-mg dose," said Di Leo. "Our results indicate that this should be modified to a 500-mg dose."
According to Di Leo, the next research step will be to study 500 mg of fulvestrant in combination with biological agents, such as PI3K inhibitors or anti-HER2 agents that can reverse resistance to endocrine therapy.
"This approach could further increase the activity of fulvestrant given at the 500-mg dose," he said.

Festivals and Recalls! (Sara's Free For All)
My favorite time of year in NW Ohio is Spring and Summer not only because it's so pretty out and warm, but because I love going to festivals all around town. I found a great website that is an amazing guide to all the festivals in Ohio. It's organized month by month...so start planning your spring/summer now!
Check out the complete list HERE
Now lets talk recalls, over 800,000 baby monitors have been recalled!!! Apparently there is a problem with the rechargeable batteries that are very dangerous. If you think your monitor might be on the list, CHECK HERE

You might not think of ceviche as a main course, but in the heat of the summer when you don't want to cook, all you need to make it a meal is something to eat it with, or on: fresh corn tortillas, tortilla chips, crackers or crusty bread. Or mound it onto mixed lettuce greens.
Raw shallots lend their mild bite and, along with the pumpkin seeds, some crunch.
Make Ahead: The scallop-shallot mixture needs to marinate in the refrigerator for 20 to 30 minutes.
Servings: 1
- 3 ounces sea scallops (2 to 4 scallops, depending on their size)
- 2 medium shallot lobes, cut crosswise into thin slices (3 tablespoons)
- Freshly squeezed juice from 2 or 3 limes (1/4 cup)
- 2-inch piece peeled ginger root, juiced or finely grated
- Flesh of 1/2 ripe avocado, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds, toasted (see NOTE)
- 1/2 to 1 teaspoon chile oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro or mint leaves
- Salt
Use a paper towel to pat the scallops dry. Remove and discard the tough side muscle from each scallop. Cut each scallop into quarters, then dice the quarters into 1/4-inch pieces.
Combine the scallops, shallots, lime juice and ginger in a medium nonreactive bowl, such as glass. Cover and refrigerate until the scallop pieces have turned white (or brightened), 20 to 30 minutes.
Drain the juice from the scallop-shallot mixture and discard it. Add the avocado, pumpkin seeds, 1/2 teaspoon of the chili oil and the cilantro or mint. Toss to combine; season with salt to taste.
Taste, and add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of chili oil as needed.
Eat immediately.
NOTE: To toast pumpkin seeds, toss them with 1 tablespoon of canola oil and spread in a single layer on a lined baking sheet. Bake in a 350-degree oven until toasted and very fragrant, 6 to 8 minutes; allow to cool completely.

In the past, this dish was prepared only for grand celebrations and weddings, but as people became more health-conscious they began serving it more frequently. Goat meat is one of the healthier meats because it is so low in fat.
Yield: 4 to 5 servings
Preparation & Cooking Time: 1 to 1½ hours (not including marinating)
* 3 pounds / 1.5 kg goat, cut into 1-inch / 2.5-cm cubes
* 1 lime
* 1 large onion, sliced
* 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped (about 3 tablespoons / 45 mL)
* 2 teaspoons / 10 mL salt
* 1 teaspoon / 5 mL black pepper
* 1 teaspoon / 5 mL thyme leaves
* ¼ teaspoon / 1 mL finely chopped Scotch bonnet pepper
* 2 tablespoons / 25 mL canola or vegetable oil
* 1 teaspoon / 5 mL sugar
* 5 green onions, chopped (about 1 cup / 250 mL)
* 2 teaspoons / 10 mL curry powder
* 2 potatoes, peeled and cut into ½-inch / 1-cm cubes
Squeeze the lime juice over the goat; let it sit for a couple of minutes and then rinse with cold water. Drain off excess water. Place the goat in a sealable container and add the onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, thyme, and Scotch bonnet pepper. Wearing rubber gloves, rub the spices into the goat with your hands. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for 1 to 2 hours.
In a large pot over medium heat, heat the oil and sugar, stirring until the sugar is brown. Add the goat with marinade, green onions, and curry; stir thoroughly. Cover the pot, reduce the heat to low, and simmer the goat slowly in its own juices, stirring occasionally, until the goat is nearly tender, about 30 minutes. If the meat is tough, pour ¼ cup / 60 mL of water at a time down the sides of the pot, not directly onto the goat (or you will toughen the meat).
Add the potatoes and ¼ cup / 60 mL water; stir thoroughly. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until the potatoes are cooked but not too soft. Crush some of the potatoes to thicken the sauce, if desired. If there is not enough sauce, add ¼ cup / 60 mL water and simmer for another 5 to 10 minutes.
Serve with rice or roti and a salad.

Re: Leg of goat
Roasted Leg of Goat.
150ml Olive Oil
Cracked pepper
Juice of one lemon
2 bay leaves (crumbled)
1 tbs chopped fresh marjoram including flowers or 2 teaspoons
1 x 1.25kg leg of young goat
The cloves from one bulb of garlic
12 large eschalots, or small pickling onions with the skins intact
12-16 small washed potatoes
1-2 cups light Italian-style red wine
Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, bay leaves, marjoram and oregano together in a small bowl. Place the goat leg in a baking dish, pour half the mixture over the leg, turn it and pour over the remainder. Cover and set aside to marinate for 1 hour, turning the leg a couple of times.
Place the garlic, eschalots and potatoes around the leg. Preheat the oven to 190C. Roast the meat for 15 minutes, then pour over a cup of the wine. Continue to roast for a further 45-60 minutes, basting ever 15 minutes and adding a little more wine if the pan juices dry out too much.
Sprinkle sea salt flakes over the meat, then cover and set aside in a warm place to rest for 10 minutes before carving. (Goat is sliced in a similar way to lamb.)
Serving Suggestion: Pour the pan juices over the sliced meat and accompany with garlic, potatoes and eschalots. Also serve a rustic Italian-style bread, such as ciabatta and a salad.
Tandoori leg of goat
From Sarah Dougall, chef and caterer
Sarah says, "Tandoori marinade makes a delicious flavour for a succulent leg of goat. This recipe is excellent cooked slowly on a barbecue, but of course just as tasty cooked in the oven. The goat is best marinated for 12 hours but can be left for as little as two hours."
Serves six
Preparation Time: 30 minutes plus 2-12 hours marinating
Cooking Time: 1 hours
Tandoori Goat
1 leg of goat (1-1.5kg), butterflied
For the marinade:
250g natural yoghurt
1 large red chilli, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/4 tsp ground fenugreek
1/2 tsp ground chilli
2 teaspoons smoked (pimenton) or sweet paprika
1 tbsp of tomato paste
Juice of 1 lemon
3 cloves of garlic, crushed
3 cm ginger, peeled and chopped
3 tablespoon coriander finely chopped
1 tbsp honey
salt and freshly ground pepper
For the cucumber raita:
1/2 large cucumber, washed and grated
5 tablespoons yoghurt
2 tablespoon chopped mint leaves
1 pinch of chilli powder
Juice from 1/2 a lemon
1 teaspoon honey
Maldon salt or a similar flake salt
To serve:
Serve with pilau or steamed rice, pappadums, shallow fried in hot oil or naan bread cut into wedges and heated in the oven or coated with a little oil and cooked on a grill pan or barbecue
coriander, to garnish
mango chutney (optional)
To marinate:
Pierce the goat all over with a small knife. Combine all the marinade ingredients until combined. Spread over the lamb and massage well into the meat. Place on a plate or tray, cover and place in the refrigerator. Leave to marinate for at least 2 hours before cooking.
To barbecue:
Preheat a barbecue to medium, with a drip pan in the centre. Place the goat on the hot grill above the drip pan and cover with a lid. After 30 minutes turn goat over and cook for a further 15-30 minutes. If cooking on a gas barbecue you can place the goat in an oiled tray and place on a rack, cover and leave to cook as above.
To cook in an oven:
Place the goat in a lightly oiled roasting tray and roast in an oven preheated to 220°C for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 200°C and leave the lamb to cook 15-30 minutes (dependent on its weight and how well you like it cooked), coat with extra marinade regularly.
When cooked remove from the BBQ or oven and rest for 10 minutes before serving.
Cucumber raita:
Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl until well combined.
To serve:
Serve the goat with cucumber raita, rice, and poppadums or naan bread. Garnish with coriander leaves. Serve with mango chutney (optional).
To butterfly goat:
To remove the bone from the goat, use a sharp knife preferably a butcher's knife and cut from the knuckle end down to the less fleshy part of the leg and gradually remove the three bones. Once the bones are removed, slice into the thick parts of the goat so that it lies flat.
Jerked Leg of Goat
1 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
4 to 6 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (or 2tablespoons dried leaves)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground pimiento (allspice)
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup of soy sauce
1 very hot pepper, chopped,
or teaspoon hot pepper oil
1 leg of goat with bone in
Mix or puree together the onions, garlic, soy sauce, and spices to form a paste. Pierce the leg of goat all over and rub the paste all over the meat. Any unused paste (also known as "jerk rub" can be stored in a glass jar in the refrigerator for up to a month for later use). Cover or wrap in foil and refrigerate overnight to allow spices to penetrate meat.
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Sear the meat loosely covered with foil in a roasting pan at 400 F for 15 minutes and then reduce heat to 350 F. Roast meat for another hour or two depending on weight() until the internal temperature reaches 150 to 160 F. Remove the foil for the last 15 minutes of cooking.
If you use a tougher cut such as a neck roast for cooking, plan on a longer cooking time and on marinating the meat in a mixture of beer and lemon juice overnight. Put the jerk rub on it in the morning and then cook in the afternoon

[link url="http://www.timbermat.co.uk/products/hardwood-portable-roadways"]portable roadways[/link] Under the new regulations, all companies placing timber products on the EU market will have to follow due diligence and be able to show evidence who they buy their products from and to who they sell them on to. Records must be kept for at least five years. Responsibly sourcing our wood is top priority for us at Timbermat Ltd and our customers are particularly discerning, many wanting assurances that the timber products they buy or hire meet the highest standards of environmental responsibility. In today's market, which is increasingly driven by sustainability, we are pleased to be able to offer a wide range of sustainable timber products. Our extensive research means we only work with reputable companies who are environmentally-conscious – from the planting of a tree to dividing it up for timber. For years, the word Ekki has been synonymous with temporary roadways and the construction industry but this could be changing. Timbermat have long been anticipating the demise of Ekki as the new regulations are introduced because of the implications on tropical timber, and that is why we have been continually researching alternative woods which have similar qualities to Ekki. These are more sustainable species and are more widely available with no threat to the environment so our clients have no need to panic, and can be assured that we have the UK's largest stocks of certified timbermats.

Energy efficiency will become a new business reality for commercial building owners in a little more than a month, and many are warning they are not yet ready for the climate change.
As the federal government embarks on a revamped effort to establish a possible carbon tax, building owners are facing up to the alternative direct action approach with the introduction of new rules on building efficiency disclosure.
Property Council of Australia chief executive Peter Verwer said that while his group supported the disclosure rules, the process had been a "shemozzle".
"The government is not ready," Mr Verwer said, noting that the sector had not yet received guidelines about how the new laws would be imposed.
Applying to the office sector, the laws are a bid by the government to draw attention to sustainability in the energy-intensive commercial property sector and to improve the availability of energy efficiency information for potential buyers and tenants.
The Green Building Council of Australia estimates that the built environment contributes about 23 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions nationally.
From November 1, when a commercial office building with a net lettable area of 2000 square metres or more is advertised for sale or lease, landlords must disclose the property's NABERS Energy rating. The new rules capture all landlords of medium and large-sized office buildings. A NABERS Energy rating benchmarks a building's greenhouse impact on a scale of one to five, whereby one star signals poor efficiency.
In response to sector concerns the government has lessened the scheme by cutting the information landlords need to disclose in the first year of implementation. But failure to disclosure could still attract a maximum penalty of $110,000 for the first day and $11,000 for each subsequent day of non-disclosure.
A spokesperson for the Department of Climate Change and Energy Efficiency said that during the first year of the scheme, the focus would be on making sure owners were aware of their obligation rather than enforcing the maximum penalties for non-compliance. But industry representatives believe the scheme is an unfinished by-product of good intentions. Mr Verwer called for the fines to be put on hold for the time being to allow for a proper transition period.
"It's an unacceptable situation," he said. "Clear guidelines to tell industry how to comply . . . need to be issued forthwith."
Mr Verwer said hospitals, shopping centres and industrial facilities were caught up in the new laws because they had office components of more than 2000 sq m. But there was no NABERS tool to rate properties with multiples uses.
"I think some people are still in a bit of a state of surprise," Rebecca Pearce, CB Richard Ellis' head of sustainability for the Pacific, told The Australian Financial Review. "It's probably not the most exciting topic for people to hear about."
Ms Pearce said the agency had spent a lot of time preparing its own staff for the change. But the flow of information on how the government would implement the legislation had been slow and material on the new requirements was still only trickling in as recently as a fortnight ago.
She said most of CBRE's larger, institutional landlords had already had NABERS assessments undertaken and received their ratings. Many smaller clients were still to comply with the new rules. Undertaking a NABERS assessment cost $3000 to $6000, Ms Pearce said.
While no client had said they would deliberately ignore the new requirements, Ms Pearce said some had been trying to work around the rules, such as inquiring about advertising spaces slightly under the 2000 sq m limit to avoid having to comply. "I think there are people trying to get around the legislation, but the way it's been set up will cover most loopholes." CBRE agents would be instructed to get written indemnity from any client who chose to ignore their advice to comply.
Colliers International's director of real estate management and head of sustainability, Simon Cox, said the phone calls from concerned landlords had started to increase. "We're getting more and more phone calls every day saying, Help get me a rating, get me out of here!"
He said the big landlords were "absolutely ready", it was the smaller ones, and private investors, that were largely unprepared. "Despite the amount of information that's been out there, they might have been choosing to ignore it or hoping it would go away," Mr Cox said. "They're now in a position where they haven't got their information ready for vendors."
Jones Lang LaSalle's director of sustainability, Joel Quintal, agreed: "Smaller companies [that] haven't embraced sustainability . . . might be less prepared come November 1."
Savills' divisional director of research for NSW, Belinda Nowland, said the scheme was not likely to affect capital values of prime properties too much, but those with lower grades or NABERS ratings could be affected more heavily: "These buildings may need greater capital expenditure in the future to improve their position in the market, and this in turn may result in softer yields in the secondary-grade stock."

This is how to win a Stanley Cup and immediately start dreaming of another one.
You watch Marian Gaborik score 14 goals during a remarkable playoff run and then sign him to a cap-friendly contract just days before unrestricted free agency. The seven-year, $34.125-million deal that Los Angeles Kings general manager Dean Lombardi reached with the Slovak on Wednesday was nothing short of wizardry.
Sure, it was met with a predictable amount of snark and sarcasm in the Twitterverse, but it's important to step back here and look at the big picture.
Gaborik will now carry a cap hit of just $4.875-million per season. That is Ryane Clowe, Martin Erat and Stephen Weiss territory. Not only is it a manageable number in real time, but it won't take very long before it lands somewhere around the NHL average with the cap expected to soar past $80-million in the next few years.
Beyond that, the Kings have adopted a win-now mentality and there's no question that having Gaborik around helps those ambitions. He was reborn after being acquired at the trade deadline from Columbus and is already hooked on the taste of success after winning his first Stanley Cup.
The 32-year-old had seen neighbours Zdeno Chara and Marian Hossa bring the trophy back to Trencin, Slovakia in recent years and now gets his chance to do the same. His summer could also have included an even bigger contract elsewhere, but Gaborik and agent Ron Salcer wrapped up negotiations on this deal before even entertaining offers from other teams.
There is no doubt about where his priorities lie right now.
"The No. 1 thing was winning a Cup and just having a chance year after year," Gaborik explained on a conference call. "It made a lot of sense for me. I know I could have made more money if I would have gone to UFA, but it wasn't about money.
"I wanted to stay here and be part of a great team."
No deal should be consummated without at least some consideration about what might happen if things go wrong and Lombardi has done that here. For starters, Gaborik didn't receive a no-trade clause -- leaving Los Angeles as the only team in the entire league that doesn't have one on the books.
The importance of every new contract on a team's internal structure can't be overstated. For example, the main point of criticism the Edmonton Oilers received after giving defenceman Nikita Nikitin a two -year, $9-million deal on Wednesday morning was that it now sets the bar awfully high for future negotiations. That trend can certainly be observed with the second contracts given to Edmonton's top draft picks in recent years.
But I digress.
What helped the new Gaborik contract come in at a manageable cap number was its structure. He'll take home $6.075-million for the first three seasons before seeing his pay drop each of the following four. Since the deal was signed under the new collective bargaining agreement, the Kings won't be subject to cap recapture penalties if he retires early.
This is about as good as it gets for a star player that carries leverage into a contract negotiation. Remember that Gaborik is currently sixth among active NHL players with .43 goals per game during his career, trailing only Alex Ovechkin, Steven Stamkos, Sidney Crosby, Jaromir Jagr and Evgeni Malkin.
There is no way he would have signed this type of deal if Los Angeles didn't make such a strong impression on him over the last few months.
"All along I wanted to stay here and the organization knew it, the players knew it ... my agent knew it," said Gaborik. "Hopefully we can just keep this train rolling."
The message Lombardi has emphatically sent to the hockey world during the last week is that he believes it can.
The general manager had a heart-to-heart with Mike Richards following the season and elected not to use a buyout on him even though he has six years remaining at a cap hit of $5.75-million per. He also signed depth defenceman Matt Greene to a four-year, $10-million deal.
Now he has Gaborik locked up and has potentially even left himself enough cap space to take care of Dwight King (RFA) and Willie Mitchell (UFA) -- the only two members of the recent championship run without contracts.
Basically, the band is being kept together for the foreseeable future. This team has a chance to become a dynasty.
As much as some might worry about Gaborik's injury history or age -- he'll be 39 when the extension is up -- the player himself acknowledged that a long-term deal doesn't come with complete security.
"You can sign for 10 years or however long and you still can get traded," said Gaborik. "I was signed for five years (by the New York Rangers) and I got traded and then I got traded again. Any player can get traded.
"Hopefully, we can keep going and hopefully I'll stay healthy and contribute and play well."
If that doesn't happen, Lombardi has left himself some escape hatches. Don't overlook how tough that is to do with pending UFA's in this marketplace.

Plastic, pizza and Papa Johns. Here's a brief story about how one laser engraving and polishing company saved its customer time and money with the right engraving strategy.
Steve Finneseth of High Tech Laser & Polishing shared with us the details on the application associated with this photo.
This project involved a molder who was not sure how deep to engrave on the sidewall of the cavity for release purposes, but their customer wanted the engraved logo to be as deep as possible without having any molding issues.
High Tech engraved the cavity at 0.003 of an inch deep the first time. The after the parts where molded the customer wanted the engraving to be deeper, so we lined up over the existing engraving from the first time and engraved another 0.003 of an inch deep—making the logo 0.006 of an inch total depth into the mold.
After molding parts the second time the customer was happy and the engraving was releasing fine in the cavity. The remaining production cavities were then engraved 0.006 of an inch deep. This allowed the customer to save cost by only using one cavity to prototype the engraving depth instead of building two or possibly three different cavities.
Also, by engraving directly into the cavity the customer saved more because they did not have to program and then profile a graphite electrode, engrave on the graphite electrode, and then burn the electrode into the cavity.

Bonhoeffer on The Fellowship of the Table
On Sunday, I was not attentive to my schedule and had it sprung on me that it was my turn to give the communion meditation at our church. So, I quickly turned to Dietrich Bonhoeffer's Life Together, which we are reading in our Sunday School class, and stumbled again upon the following brilliant passage. I share it again here, because all the facets that Bonhoeffer locates in the Eucharist here are central to what John and I are calling Slow Church: gratitude, the centrality of Jesus (I'll have more to say on this point later this week), the unifying power of eating together, the joy and … [Read more...]
The Official Sport of the Slow Church Movement
I think baseball should be the official sport of the Slow Church movement.I love baseball. When I can, I listen to or watch games at home. I read books about baseball. (I'm currently reading Bruce Weber's magnificent As They See 'Em: Travels in the Land of Umpires.) I play catch or wiffle ball at home with my daughter. And I like to take in games at the high school, the local short-season single-A team, and even the very occasional big league game. The two things I have most on mind these days are Slow Church and baseball. Here is my first, albeit ham-fisted (and self-indulgent!), attempt t … [Read more...]
Broke into the Old Apartment (This is Where We Used to Live).
I rarely listen to music on the radio, but the other day I was flipping through the stations as I was driving and heard the opening riffs of the Barenaked Ladies' song "The Old Apartment." This song was a favorite of mine around about the time I graduated from college, so I turned it way up and reveled in the nostalgia. But in the midst of my revelry, the words caught my ear, and I realized that there was something profound here that I had never heard before: the song brings to the surface the deep grief we bear as a result of our hypermobility. … [Read more...]

Johny Talbot and Adrian Runhof were initially inspired, for spring 2013, by photos of Detriot ruins – those vast and ghostly imprints of a city's rise and fall. But if Yves Marchand & Romain Meffre's photos of Detroit's scarred bricks and shattered windows left their impression on the designers, it didn't much show in the collection. There was beauty in these gowns, but it wasn't of the crumbling, decaying kind.
Talbot Runhof's Paris fashion week (PFW) show instead got lifted out of the ruins by memories of the label's 20 year history. An upcoming book chronicling that very history got them thinking about the things the duo love best, and that just happens to be breathtaking evening wear.
On the runway they channeled that into sweeping gowns with geometric shapes, some black and white and graphic, some a vibrant royal blue. Detail got more intricate from there: lace, structured metallic leather, starry sequinned dresses in a burnished rainbow of muted tones.
If anything felt it could have stemmed from the seed the Detroit ruins planted, it was the ornaments of iridescent blue flowers – laser-cut from holographic material – that sprouted from the folds of black dresses like hope from the cracks in weathered stone. These outshone the sequins, figuratively if not literally.

6 people in Taiwan infected with HIV daily
Wednesday, Aug 14, 2013
The China Post/Asia News Network
By Joy Lee
TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Every day this year, six people on average are infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) announced yesterday.
Deputy CDC Director Chuang Jen-hsiang (莊人祥) said that 1,360 people were reported to be infected with HIV from this January through July, which is an increase of about 8 per cent compared to the same period last year.
"On average," Chuang said, "there were six people infected with HIV daily this year, which suggests that the number of people being infected with HIV has increased fast.
""Among all the 1,360 people who are confirmed to be infected with HIV, 1,206 people contracted it through unprotected sex.
"The statistics show that if condoms or lubricants are not used properly, the risk of being infected with HIV or other sexually transmitted diseases will increase," Chuang said.
"There are more and more young people contracting HIV every year, and this suggests that more young people are at risk of becoming HIV positive.
"If the number of people being infected with HIV continues to increase, this year's number of new cases might break last year's record and become the year with the third highest number of newly diagnosed HIV positive cases.
"Wang Chun-chuan of the Ministry of Education said that most people between the ages of 15 and 24 are students, and based on the CDC statistics, about 25 per cent of people who tested positive for the virus fall within that age range.
"In order to promote appropriate sex education," Wang said, "the ministry will fully support the launch of sex education and AIDS-prevention outreach from within elementary schools to colleges starting this September.
""There will also be AIDS-prevention teachers assigned to all colleges as well as anonymous AIDS testing set up on campus to better protect students from being at risk of being infected," said Wang.
According to the CDC, around 82.9 per cent of those infected with HIV this year are from the major cities, and 23.6 per cent of them are from New Taipei City, followed by Taipei City's 17.5 per cent.The CDC said that the number of people newly reported to be infected with HIV increased by 23.3 per cent, which is the highest increase among all the cities and counties in Taiwan.

Rare encounter FR
Not a big FR writer because after a while it gets monotonous...
This is a little different so here goes..
Was in Taipei for a short biz trip last week. Met up with the guys for dinner where we polished 2 bottles of whisky before heading for second place.
The KTV is one of the higher ends. Fees are per lady chosen. Drinks are free flow. I think it worked out to be 600SGD per chick. Sounds expensive but inclusive of drinks not too bad.
Basically I was pissed drunk when I reached and cannot remember which girl I picked but when I reached my hotel room I found a petite SYT with me. Cant say very pretty but very fair. She was very shy and asked me if I wanted to do her, explaining that her mommy is not familiar with me and did not dare to presume.
Looking at her shy demeanour and my super drunken state, I just pulled her onto the bed and started. Extremely submissive with no hint of rejection with any of my advances. Cant remember how long it took but she must have cummed several times during the foreplay. Fingering, pussylicking, 69, the works..
after the bed was like super wet, I cannot tahan and decide to mount her missionary. Although wet, it was still tight and she was controlling herself not to moan too loudly. I then tested my luck. Pulled my brother up and lifted her legs higher. Started playing with her anus and I would almost believe that she came again during that 15 secs of fooling around with that hole. At this point, there is no stopping already. Positioned myself for rear entry. She tried to say no unconvincingly...
Once it was in, the sex was incredible. Just hearing her "不要,不要" was driving me up 7 heavens. Thanks to the drinks and my super aroused state, it was a lengthy session which left both of us drained.
After the deed, I chatted with her a bit while she showered. Paid her fees which I was told 10,000NT. I then asked her if she will like to be with me again when I visited Taipei. She smiled shyly but did not answer.
Stupid thing is that I forgot to get her number so guess have to go to that ktv to hunt for her again next time.
I left for Macau the next day and had another unusual encounter but that will be posted on the Macau thread later.

Re: Taiwan: The island of beuties
Re: Taiwan: The island of beuties
Had a bad experience with popular OKT who advertised here.
I'm not going to mention the okt name as I want to be fair, and I don't a want to get zapped by her friends. This does not intend to be a dirty bxtch fight. Just a post to share the experience and ensure every bro don't waste money like I did in taipei.
After reading the good reviews I contacted her on Skype, and the communication with her was efficient and friendly. It was a good start. I wanted good quality so asked for a 8k twd girl. I wasn't given many choices. She told me a girl will arrive at the agreed time. The OKT said she will be 21yr old, 166 height and c cup. Not bad hey?
A girl arrived and gosh she looked at least 35 year old and she has more wrinkles than my aunt. Stink of smoke. I sent her right away and mentioned to okt that she did not fit the description.
A 2nd girl arrived. She looked ok on the face so I agreed and paid. It all went downhill from here.
That girl was all blurred out, she couldn't communicate (i speak Chinese), I suspect she must had too much to drink or she has smoked something. She seemed to spend a lot of time staring into an empty space.
We had shower together where she hardly provided any service.
I had a bad feeling so I asked her to give a CBJ and end it there. She couldn't even perform a CBJ, she just put it in her mouth and again stared at the wall for 10min. I was quite pixxed off so I stopped the session and rang the OKT.
You guess it, she said the session has started so there will be no refund blah blah and she cannot judge it just based on my words. The girl had good feedback before so she found it unbelievable. the okt rang the girl and she sounded ok- no alcohol no drugs proven. Fxck me, I just gave up and sent the girl away. No point fighting this downhill battle.
Dear bros, just make sure you do a quality check- speak to the girl and check her responses before u pay. If there is any doubt, dont go ahead. U don't want to get a idiotwho spoil your evening + wasted 8k.

Each month our friends at the AU Review will be highlighting the best new music from Australia. Check out their top picks for July below.
Wolf And Cub – Adelaide, Southern Australia
Sosefina Fuamoli, State Editor: Adelaide hadn't been seeing much of Wolf And Cub lately…until they released this double A side of "See The Light" and "All Through The Night" at least. Much like Tame Impala, Wolf And ub know how to make great psychedelic rock sound new and modern and indeed, infectious. The guitar riff has an insatiable groove to it, kind of Kasabian-esque, you could say. It's gritty and shows a progression in sound from the band, who we hadn't heard from since their acclaimed sophomore record, Science And Sorcery, back in 2009. 2012 has seen Wolf And Cub return to the live circuit as well, which is great, because they are an experience best done live. Check them out at their website and begin your education there, you won't regret it. Bring us a new album boys!
Hunz – Brisbane, Queensland
Andrew Wade, State Editor: Hunz have been relatively quiet around Brisbane for a little while now; following the release of the brilliant (and free! [via Bandcamp]) album Thoughts That Move, Hunz have blasted out of the gate with the driving synth-blacktop of "Owl Highway." Released as a split 7″ alongside the similarly excellent Mr. Maps in a limited edition of 300 (thanks to Lofly Records, who also released the highly recommended debut album from Tiny Spiders last month), thankfully it's available to all and sundry through the magic of digital downloads. While it's a different direction from the previously released material, it's just as awesome. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.
Richard In Your Mind – Sydney, New South Wales
Larry Heath, Editor-In-Chief: Sydney-based quartet Richard In Your Mind—led by enigmatic frontman Richard Cartwright—have been going from strength to strength in the last couple of years, fine tuning their live show and releasing their best music to date in the process. It's a little bit psychedelic, at times pop-tastic (in a Yellow Submarine sort of way) and a whole lot of fun. Their recent track "The New Sun" has been getting a murdering in our offices of late. I hope you enjoy the track as much as we do!
The Woohoo Revue – Melbourne, Victoria
Mandy Hall, State Manager: Call them what you will—Balkan gypsy brass band, Roaring '20s swing ensemble, Wild West fiddle contest or a soundtrack for Looney Tunes—it barely scratches the surface. There are few, if any parallels to the sound of the Woohoo Revue. I caught their CD launch at the HiFi bar in Melbourne last month. It was a raging party of circus performers, swing dancers and fantastic music. The albums is great, but you must see them live to appreciate the full package they have on offer.
The Empty Cup – Perth, Western Australia
Tony Lendrum, State Manager: Brian Kruger is a Perth-based freestyle hip-hop artist who has brought together a group of musicians to form a deliciously layered musical feast called the Empty Cup. Their debut single, "Reposte For JL" (John Lennon), plays the highly articulate vocal wizardry of Kruger off against the wonderfully ethereal musical backdrop provided by the rest of the Empty Cup. If you want hip-hop with style, class and yet without the familiarity of a thousand other wannabes who have trodden the well worn(out) path of those that have gone before, give your ears an early Christmas present and head on over to the Empty Cup.

Iconix seeks lead retail partner for Cannon
October 31, 2007,
New York – Seeking to bolster major-retailer support for its recently acquired Pillowtex properties, Iconix Brand Group today said it would like to land an "anchor" for the Cannon brand.
Cannon is currently carried at Anna's Linens and Meijer, among others.
Both Cannon and Royal Velvet are licensed to Li & Fung for bedding, bath towels and other home goods, with a range of licensees in other textiles categories. Cole noted that these brands generate about two-thirds of the Pillowtex licensing revenue. He indicated that the analysis of Cannon retail distribution is being done in concert with Li & Fung.
Cole also noted that a major Royal Velvet program will launch next spring at "one of the leading home specialty retailers," and that Iconix is working with that retailer on an "exciting marketing campaign." While that retailer was not named today, Iconix recently did state publicly that the program was being prepared for Bed Bath & Beyond.
Of the other two main Pillowtex brands, Cole characterized the Fieldcrest direct-to-retail license with Target as "performing well," and said Iconix is exploring the expanded potential for Charisma, which has product manufacturer licensees and is currently positioned in such venues as Bloomingdale's.
In response to an analyst's question on marketing, Cole said Iconix is considering the recruitment and use of one or more brand spokespersons for the Pillowtex brands. "We definitely plan on putting celebrities in the bed," Cole quipped, saying that one intention of brand marketing of these home brands would be to "make it interesting, exciting, shake it up a little."
Iconix, nearing the end of its third year in business, has grown rapidly in the apparel brand licensing arena; the Pillowtex acquisition represents its entry into the home categories. The company said it is assembling a team of executives to drive the home businesses.
Through a series of acquisitions and major licensing deals, Iconix has roughly doubled its revenues and earnings over the past 12 months.
For the third quarter ended Sept. 30 the company reported licensing revenue of $42.7 million, up 93.2% from $22.1 million for the same period one year ago. Net income of approximately $17 million was up 114% from about $7.9 million last year.
Iconix reiterated a full-year 2007 projection of $150 - $160 million in revenues and diluted earnings per share of $0.96 - $1. For 2008, company guidance was revenues of $240 - $250 million and diluted EPS of $1.35 - $1.40. The four Pillowtex brands are projected to deliver $35 - $37 million in 2008 licensing revenue.

Double-Blind, Proof-of-Concept (POC) Trial of Low Field Magnetic Stimulation (LFMS) Augmentation of Antidepressant Therapy in Treatment-Resistant Depression (TRD)
ID Number 11-0004Principal Investigator(s)
Dan V Iosifescu
Department(s) or Division(s)
The purpose of this study is to look at the efficacy and safety of Low Field Magnetic Stimulation (LFMS) as a rapid antidepressant treatment for patients with hard to treat depression who are currently on an antidepressant medication that is working for them. In past trials, treatment with LFMS has had positive effects on mood. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers LFMS an investigational device with Non Significant Risk, and is therefore safe to be used in clinical trials. However, the LFMS device is not approved for the treatment of major depressive disorder and is considered an experimental treatment in this study.
One may qualify to take part in this research study if s/he has been diagnosed with major depressive disorder (MDD) and has not responded to past treatments. Participation in this study is expected to last about 5 weeks. Eligible participants will receive treatment at no cost and compensation for their time.

When a buttermilk moon rises over Alligator River, listen for red wolves. It's the only spot in the world where they still howl in the wild. Finer boned than gray wolves, with foxier coloring and a floating gait, they once roamed North America from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. By the mid-1970s, because of overhunting and habitat loss, just a few survived. Biologists captured 17 and bred them in captivity, and in 1987 released four pairs in North Carolina's Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge.
From This Story
Related Content
Today more than 100 red wolves inhabit the refuge and the surrounding peninsula—the world's first successful wolf reintroduction, eight years ahead of the better-known gray wolf project in Yellowstone National Park. The densely vegetated Carolina refuge is perfect for red wolves: full of prey such as white-tailed deer and raccoons and practically devoid of people.
Perfect, except it may all be underwater soon.
Coastal North Carolina is more vulnerable than almost anywhere else in the United States to sea-level rise associated with climate change, and the 154,000-acre Alligator River refuge could be one of the first areas to go under. A stone's throw from Roanoke Island, where the first English colony in North America was established in the 1580s, it's a vibrant green mosaic of forest, piney swamp and salt marsh. I've seen a ten-foot alligator dreaming on a raft of weeds, hundreds of swallowtail butterflies rising up in giddy yellow spirals and scores of sunbathing turtles. The refuge has one of the highest concentrations of black bears on the East Coast. It is home to bobcats and otter and a haven for birds, from great blue herons to warblers to tundra swans. Most of it lies only about a foot above sea level.
Scientists at Alligator River are now engaged in a pioneering effort to help the ecosystem survive. Their idea is to help shift the entire habitat—shrubby bogs, red wolves, bears and all—gradually inland, while using simple wetland-restoration techniques to guard against higher tides and catastrophic storms. At a time when many coastal U.S. communities are paralyzed by debate and hard choices, such decisive action is unusual, if not unique.
"We're on the front line here," says Brian Boutin, a Nature Conservancy biologist leading the Alligator River adaptation project. "We're going to fight [sea-level rise] regardless. But it matters whether we fight smart or fight dumb."
Sea level has been increasing since the peak of the last ice age 20,000 years ago, when the glaciers began melting. The rise happens in fits and starts; in the Middle Ages, for instance, a 300-year warming period sped it up slightly; starting in the 1600s, the "Little Ice Age" slowed it down for centuries. But scientists believe that the rate of rise was essentially the same for several thousand years: about one millimeter per year.
Since the Industrial Revolution, however, the burning of fossil fuels has increased the amount of carbon dioxide and other gases in the atmosphere, which trap the earth's reflected heat—the now familiar scenario called the greenhouse effect, the cause of global warming. The rate of sea-level rise around the world has tripled over the past century to an average of about three millimeters a year, just over a tenth of an inch, because of both melting glaciers and the expansion of water as it warms.
In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicted seven inches to two feet of global sea-level rise by 2100. Some scientists, however, think it will be more like six feet. Such wildly varying predictions are the result of huge unknowns. How much of the gargantuan ice sheets in Greenland and West Antarctica will melt? How will human populations affect greenhouse gas emissions? Will ocean currents change? Will the water rise steadily or in spurts?
Making matters worse, the mid-Atlantic region lies on a section of the earth's crust that is sinking one or two millimeters a year. In the last ice age, the continental plate on which the region sits bulged upward like a balloon as massive glaciers weighed down the plate's other end, in what is now the Great Lakes region. Ever since the glaciers began to melt, the mid-Atlantic has been falling back into place. The inexorable drop compounds the effects of sea-level rise.

It's a 2004 model so the lady saids she's only charging me 400 bucks over invoice. This of is not the 325xi, they are all sold out for 2004 but when I saw the guy pull up the 325i today...wow...it blew me away. The tires very damn nice! Did they lowered the suspension for sports package? When I went in and check the leatherette, it didn't feel no difference than the real leather except it doesn't have the leather smell of course. Car was mint, 2 miles on it...wow.....sporty!!!...I couldn't resist and had to hold a deposit on the car.....the spare tire is also a full size with the sports rim...
Do you guys think that's a good deal for the car? I still have 2 more days to think about it...

CentOS 6.2
CentOS 6.2
This month's Linux Magazine DVD brings you the latest release of the Community Enterprise Operating System (CentOS).
This month's Linux Magazine DVD brings you the latest release of the Community Enterprise Operating System (CentOS) [1]-[5]. CentOS is an enterprise-class Linux distribution that provides a free alternative to high-cost enterprise systems from SUSE or Red Hat. CentOS consistently competes with Debian for the top spot as the most popular Linux distribution for web servers [6].
CentOS is a community re-build of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). CentOS developers use Red Hat's source code to create a product very similar to RHEL, with the Red Hat branding and logos removed.
CentOS version 6.2 is based on RHEL 6.2. The CentOS maintainers strive to maintain 100% binary compatibility with the Red Hat source product. CentOS 6.2 includes all updates since the RHEL 6.2 release and combines all Red Hat variants into one repository.
Support for CentOS 6.2 is planned until November 30, 2017.
